! There is no uncertain sentiment growing
against according complimentary terms of
office to presidents of the union There
seems to be too much latent talent going
| to seed to perpetuate any such custom. On
| with the dance!
The printers have been deba ting in their
! minds for some time past the wisdom of
the proposition to reduce the monthly dues
of the union. The matter has been in the
time, and its report will come up for &C
ton at the next meeting of the union. The
committee presents a succinct statement
accompanying its adverse report upon the
proposition, which maintains that the
financial outlook of the union will not war
rant any departure from the present dues
The union will not miss it in securing any
one of the aspirants for the trea sIryShip.
So far, there are four aspirants for the
hCnor-Messrs. Charles z. Holmes who
was delegate to Detroit in 1890; James E.
Bright. chairman of the board of trustees;
A. j. Arnold of the specs room and John
Greene, Jr., of the night bill force. There
IS bunch that will make the race one of
decided interest.
Mr.. w. !. Reed of the Record has moved
up into the front ranks of the do-boiies as
cartoonfst of no mean ability. few of
his sketches might eniiven the otherwise

specs" room. is candidate for delegate
to st. Louis. and his popularity, together

reduce the monthly dues of the printers
comes the suggestion to raise the salaries

they should be worth 1900 apiece.
