TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
Textile Workers Promised Aid at Yes
terday's Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon was devoted by CO.
lumbia Typographical Union to listening to
some heart-to-heart talks by a committee
representing the textile workers of Phila-
delphia, who are on strike, and to some
hattering compliments from several of the
delegates remaining over from the Inter-
national Typographical Union convention.
The Philadelphia textile workers were
granted 500 by Columbia Union to carry
on their fight against the manufacturers.
High praise was bestowed on the hosts
of the Washington union for the entertain
ment extended to the visitors during the
convention, and of the press reports it was
said that never in the history of the union
had such good reports been printed of one
of their convention, and also that never
had so much space been given them.
The convention was the largest and most
satisfactory that has ever been held by
the l. T. U. in its half century of exist
ence. Ex-Delegate Costello of st. Louis
said that they would have difficult work
cut out for them to equal the splendid en-
tertainment of Washington, and but for
the fair, that would be a feature of the
year, they could not hope to follow the
pace set here. His feelings were those Of
the other speakers.
Several of the delegates are still in the
city seeing the sights they missed during
the week, but the great majority have
gone.
