the question OF extending the time set for

1t is understood, however that any such
effort is doomed for failure for the ma
jority of the organization seems determined
TO put the eight+hour day in force on Jaau-
airy l. 1865, the date named in the law

Proposed Alliance.
Another question which may be brought
before the convention is a proposed alliance
defensive with
the newspaper telegraphers A special COM
mittee, which has been appointed to take
up this matter meets in Toronto today, and
a report therefrom will be made to the con-
vention.
The Philadelphia troubles, involving or
ganization in the Quaker city and continu-
ing the warfare against a daily paper of
that city, will also receive the attention of
the convention.
Another meeting to be held at Toronto
next week will be that of the Internati onal
Womans Auxiliary, composed of women
compositors and the wives and daughters
of union printers. This auxiliary had it's in
ception at the Birmingham convention in
1901. The next year 1t held its first session
at Cincinnati. The Washington convention
of the auxiliary was a big success. Last
year 1t was equally successful. This con-
Ventfon will be larger than the Others as
the society has grown rapidly during the
last year The woman folks are rendering
the printers much aid in promoting the la
bel and in other ways ably assist the In
ternatonal body. Secretary Mrs. Ed. ID.
Donnell of Cincinnati, in her report says
among other things: This is not the time
for bargain counter arguments or cheap
propositions In the language of a we'll
known editor, want to see the auxiliary on
the firing line in 1906 if necessary We
have been Dragging for the past three years
what we would do to help the union in time
of trouble. We may be called upon to

auxiliary in the Toronto convention.
