Open NEXT MONTH


jackson, Miss, July 3.-Extensive
preparations are being made by. the
people of Crystal Springs to open their
chautauqua this month, and 1t prom

before. The growth Of the Chautau-
qua idea in Mississippi has been some
thing marvellous. There are now half
a dozen fiourishing chautauquas which
draw thousands of people each year.
The chautauqua has an educational
value that it is hard to estimate. Hat
tiesburg and Gulfport also have splen-
did chautauquas while the one at Clos
ter has done good work for the past
several seasons.

J. Drexel, both of Philadelphia, pre-

The presentation occurred in 1856, at
the thirty-fourth session of the Inter-

following letter accompanying the
check:

ITO the President and Members of the

"Gentlemen:-Wit this letter is an
enclosure which it was intended
should be handed you by Mr.. James
J. Daley with a verbal message of
good wishes; but at his suggestion it
is accompanied by a written commu-

who work for wages. and in the wise

very satisfactory business relations
for many years, it's my earnest desire
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1907-08-03

The International Typographical
Union has been more prominently in
the public view during the two years
past than possibly any industrial or
ganization in the history of trades
unionism because of the successful
fight made for the eight-hour day for
its membership. And never did an
army come more triumphant from the
campaign. nor with more honorable
record. The greatest industrial bat
tie ever fought has been waged, and
the officers and members of this
printers organization have TO their
credit the fact that fairly, with no I'M
clean or unmanly acts, without vio-
lence or resort to any questionable
means, they have won a peaceful vic
tory.
1t is not, however, the intention of
this article to go into the details of
the strike in the book and job print
ing industry, in which the Information
al Typographical Union of North
America and the United Typothetae Of
America were pitted against each
other, which has attracted consider
able attention to trade-union methods
and the history of trade organizations.
T be international Typographical
Union was formed in 1852, and has
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1907-08-03

had a successful and progressive ex-
istence since that time Previous to
1852 there were many local associa-
tons or unions of printers, and a con-
vention of these local associations
w2s held as early as 1884.
$500 mR1eesasI1essl
Union is recognized as a conservative
organization, and this is borne out by
the effort that was made by the Off
GERS of the union to peaceably adjust
the eight-hour contention with the
employers before the strike was en-
tered into This strike has been a
marvel of financiering. The Interna-
tional Typographical Union has a
membership of about forty-seven thou
sand, and, with the exception of about
fifty thousand dollars, these forty
seven thousand members have raised
by assessment more than SO 100000
for the conduct of their strike for the
eight-hour day. The method of levy
ing the assessment is worthy of eX-
PLANTATION. 1t was not placed by
convention, nor by the officers of the
organization. The proposition was
submitted to a referendum vote, and
a proposal to levy so cents per week
received a majority of nearly twenty
thousand votes, and a later proposal
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1907-08-03

to levy a 10 per cent assessment re.
ceiving a majority of more than
eighteen thousand votes.
But if the international Topographic
cal Union did not have to its credit

eight-hour day, the placing Of women
on an equal footing with men in the
matter of compensation for similar

broadness of mind and largeness of

any fitting manner.
In May, 1857, the first proposition
looking TO the establishment OF a
home or asylum for invalid, aged and
infirm printers was made at the ses-
sion of the National (now mtena-
tionaD Typographical Union at New
Orleans. No action was taken then,
and though the matter was considered
at various times after that date. con
summation Of the plan seemed far
away until George w. Childs and A.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1907-08-03

I forts OF the International officers were
then turned toward raising more
funds and devising a plan for a home.
Various ideas were advanced. and at
one time Texas was in a fair way to
secure the institution. through the ef.
forts of the late VIII Lambert, OF
Austin.
At the session OF the International
in Denver 1889. however. PROPOSE

Home at that place was accepted. and
active work looking to it's erection was
begun.
Il is proper TO state. however. that
in this matter. as in an others. q
vote Of the membership was had on
the question OF the acceptance of the
Colorado Springs proposition. before
definite action Of amy sort was under
taken, a large majority voting favor

Typographical Union, who has been
such for five continuous years, may
apply for admission to the Home.
Everything possible is done by the
Home trustees and superintendent to
make the inmates Of the institution
comfortable and happy. They are fur
nished with suitable food and cloth
ing. medical attendance is provided.
and the necessary attention is given
those confined to their rooms. Each
inmate is allowed a pension of fifty
cents per week, and an additional
weekly allowance is granted TO such
as render assistance in caring for the
grounds or buildings.
Thus far the union. in erecting and
maintaining the Home. has expended
