PRINTING TRADE PROGRESS.

Times have changed, and the printing
tradeisnot what it used to be. Revolu-
tionary transformations have taken
place. Introduction of typesetting ma
chimes. which in the minds Of some
people threatened to demoralize the
printing business, have contributed to
the upbuilding of one of the most gil
gantic and powerful trade organiza-
tons the world has ever known. The
printers are the leaders in many of the
most beneficial features Of trade union
ism.
Out at Colorado Springs, the printers
union has a home for sick and disabled
printers which has cost nearly $500, 900.
All but $4,000 Of this has been contrib
uted by the printers themselves. The
printers are the only tradesmen who
have a home for their aged and sick
fellow-workmen. They are now at
work raising another $25, 900 to build an
additional hall at Colorado Springs in
memory of the late Amos ]. Cummings,
of New York, who was himself q
printer.
Here in Topeka, a new scale of wages
has been agreed upon between the
Typographical union and the newspa-
per publishers. A two years contract,
dating from October "a, 1904, to October
81, 1906, has been signed, which gives
the printers a substantial increase In
pay over their former contract. For
printers on morning papers,, the week
ly wage for s hours work is raised
from $3.50 to $1,000; on afternoon pa
pers, the pay is increased from SIT 90
to $3.50. The State Journal, however,
has for several been paying more,
in many instances, han the wages fix
ed in the contract.
Between the book and job offices and
the Typographical union the same de-
gree of harmony does not exist as char
acterizes the printing stu
alton. The job office proprietors, COM
posing. the Typothetae, refuse to enter
into any formal contract with the
union, though in Topeka they confer
with union representatives and pay the
union scale. Trouble is brewing be-
tween the two organizations, however,
as a result of the decision of the Inter
national Typographical union to estab-
lish h eight hour dayin all job offices
after January 1, 1906. The Typothetae
refuse to accept this change in the
working hours, and according to re-
ports, have levied on each member
which means on each proprietor of a
union job office, a monthly tax equiv
alent to11A per cent on his monthly pay
roll, for h alleged purpose Of creating
a war fund with which to fight the in
PRODUCTION Of the eight hour day on
January 1. 1906. AS a counter measure,
the union job printers have also levied
a similar tax on their members.
Should h Typothetae and the Typo
graphical union clash, the newspapers
are not likely to become involved, for
the daily newspapers as a rule are pay
ing the union scale or more and work.

Omaha Bee: There is no more rea-

streets and alleys to merchants and

city should donate without compensa-
ton streets, either vacated or to be
vacated, to corporations that opo

be to donate such tracts and streets to
a planning mill or a shoe factory. The
proper course to pursue with lands

Several years ago." said Jerry, Fred
Knapp present deputy United States mar
shall, was the clerk of one of the commit
tees in the legislature. One day, while all
alone, he found a fifty dollar bill under
the table in the committee room: After
a good deal of trouble he found the own
er. Mort AIbaugh, and returned it to
him.
Lit Crum was a member of that house.
Three years ago Crum was appointed
United States marshal. He selected Fred
Knapp as one of his deputies. The time
naturally came around for the deputies to
give bonds. This was done by all, with
the exception of Knapp. The latter APP
preached Crum and asked him how much
bond he should make up.
=" Remember, Knapp said Crum, you
found a fifty dollar bill in one of the COM
mittee rooms of the legislature several
years age and returned it to its owner
gotten the incident.
Well said Crum. a man who will
return money after finding it, when he
could just as well have kept it without
anyone knowing of the matter, needn't
give me any bond, even though I am re-
sponsible for his actions.'
Knapp consequently did not have to give
bond.
