STATUE IN HONOR
OF AMOS CUMMINGS
Entertainment in New York Projected by Printers
to Raise the Money.

At the last session of Congress, Rep
resentative William sulzer of New York
introduced a bill providing for the ap-
preparation Of site for the proposed
Cummings statue, and for an appro-
priation with which to purchase a ped
estal or base upon which the statue
should be placed. Owing to the fact that
the bill was not brought up until the
session was well under way, and that
there were number OF important mat
ters to be looked after, it was not con-
sidered. and Representative Sulzer viii
have to reintroduce the measure at the
next session OF Congress. This he has
promised to do. and will make It one Of
the first things he presents. He. as well
as the thousands OF members Of the
typographical unions, does not believe
any difficulty viii be encountered in get
ting the measure through. and if Con-
gress takes tie necessary action, and
provides the site and pedestal the print
ers and typos can be relied upon to do
their part. The entertainments and con
tributions which will flow In as soon as
the site is provided. will swell TO a
sufficient size to place a handsome
bronze statue Of the late Mr.. Cummings

to give site for the erection Of the
pedestal and statue. the Joint Library

Br. Cummings was at one time the
editor OF New York paper. and made
many friends among the members of the
typographical unions there He became
a member Of one OF the largest and
most prominent locals IN the metropo-
lis, and was still member at the time
OF his death. Although he was not an
active member, because he had not the
time. Representative Cummings kept
his dues paid. and manifested great in
terest in all matters pertaining &c his
order. He always carried in his pocket
a small printers rule" as an emblem
of his union, and was well informed on
all labor matters. Besides the New
York typographical union. Mr.. Cum
mings was also an honorary member of
several unions, and an active member
