AS Organizer of the International
Typographical Union, He Obtained
a New Agreement Decidedly Favor

the Road a Good Deal Now.

John w. Hays, who was elected vice
president of the International Typo
graphical union in May last by the
largest vote ever given q candidate tor
that office, returned from Louisville,
KY, this week. Mr.. Hays went 10
louisville to represent James M. Iynch
on the national board Of arbitration
in negotiations looking to new scale
for the newspaper printers or thal
city. After a conference with Fred
erick Driscoll, commissioner OF the
Newspaper Publishers association,
Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Driscoll were able
to agree upon the terms Of a scale
without resort to arbitration. me
terms of the agreement are regarded
as distinctly favorable to the printers.
The working hours remain as before,
but the workmen will receive sub
stantial raise in wages.
Mr.. Hays will go to st. Louis about
Aug 6, to the convention of the I. t.
u, where he will be installed into the
office Of vice president. He will then
take UP his duties as permanent Or
ganizer and will devote his whole time
to work outlined by the International
executive council.
From present indications it is likely
Mr.. Hays will be assigned to work In
connection with the arbitration OF
wage scales. for which he is peculiarly
qualified, because of his wide eXper-
fence in this field. The duties involved

TO BAR OUTSIDERS
Trades Assembly Delegates Will Be
Labeled.

Several changes are to be made in
the system of registration Of dele
gates to the Trades Assembly. The
card system has proved unsatisfactory
Tor a number OF reasons, and the as
sembly will institute a new order as
soon as a committee appointed for the
purpose can arrange for it.
Under the proposed plan the SER
geant-at-arms will hand to each dele
gate in attendance at $3.50 an "attend-
ance card,'' which the delegate will
be required to fill out with his name
and union and return the same to the
secretary before retiring. Each dele
gate will also be provided with a
badge to be worn during the sessions
of the assembly. Upon the badge will
appear the name and number of the
union to which the delegate belongs.
by these precautions it is hoped to
confine debate upon any question to
delegates only, which has been diff
cult matter heretofore for the reason
that ex-delegates have been allowed
upon the floor as visitors and in some
instances have expressed their views
upon matters under discussion.
A committee was appointed to take
up the Colorado labor troubles and
will report to the assembly at the
meeting to be held Wednesday even
ing, July FL.
The secretary was instructed to re-
quest unions which have not made
full returns upon the assessment
ordered some time ago to replenish
the Labor Day fund to remit as
speedily as possible.

tracts between newspaper publishers

portions that it is utterly impossible
for the president Of the international

attending sessions at Kansas City, Mo-;
Syracuse, Detroit, Milwaukee, Birm-

years, but he has done work in the

1t is possible that one of the first as
