Memorial to Former Treasury Chief.
At meeting of the employees of the d.
| vision of printing and stationery OF the Sec
retary's Office, Treasury Department, heid
January 50. 1904, to take action upon the
death of Samuel Roads, jr., which occurred
January o. 1904, the following resolutions
were presented and unanimously adopted;
whereas, we have learned with deep re.
eref and great sorrow of the death OF
Samuel Roads, jr., at Marblehead, Mass,
formerly chief of the division of printing
and stationery of the secretary once
Treasury Department. our friend and asso-
cfate for a number of years: Therefore, be
1t -. ,,. -.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore his
taking away and the memory of his many
pleasant ways and kindly acts while with
ms causes us to feel in his death personal
loss, and with that feeling of sorrow witnin
us, we herewith extend our heartIen SYM
nathy to his bereaved family, especially to
his aged mother, in the loss of such faith-
full loving and dutiful son. -

Chivalrous to the Women.
The women printers in the Office do not
Der have a mortgage on one of the dele
gate positions In the delegation from Co
lumbia Union. On the other hand, they
are conducting their canvass or the sltua-
ton with that gracious manner ana o,gnity
becoming their sex. There seems TO De no
disposition on the part of their male CO.
iaborers to deny them representation.
Therefore, 1t seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that at least one of their NUMBER
will be conceded place ON the deiegaiion:
crl.~ .,Nt .,lu nv a shirt of
fairness but also in the light of a just rec
ognition of their relation to the great body
Of union workers 1t will, therefore, rest
largely with the women themselves to set
tie upon a representative if the men do not
take an active interest IN selection, How
ever, it is well to surmise that lively con,
test is to come ultimately should the big
printery and the downtown printers each
present a woman candidate for the honor.
