USEFUL VIEW
OF UN|ON|5M
One of the Many Ways in
Which the T. u. Helps
Union Printers.

In an interview appearing in an
eastern paper recently, James M.
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical Union, gave some in
teresting information as to the NOR
tuary feature of the organization.
1t seems to be almost an instinct
with man to provide for his burial
after death. Men have been known
those in poverty-to laboriously col
lect and cling to a small sum for
burial purposes, depriving themselves
of the necessaries of life in order to
retain this money, because of the
horror of filling a pauper's grave"
Many associations provide for the
interment of their members by a
burial fund, and especially is this true
of trade unions-perhaps all or neal
~ all OF them
1t was to be expected that, as in
telligent workingmen, the printers
would be found in the lead in such
movement While the greater
number of local associations have
burial funds of their own from which
to provide for decent interment of
their members. the International Ty-
biographical Union sends out from its
home office in the Newton CIaypool
Building, Indianapolis. Ind, to the
officers of each subordinate union $40
for each death of member in good
standing reported to it. While this
is but modest amount with which
to pay the expenses of funeral, yet,
added to that provided by the local
union, it makes a very acceptable
sum-in some cities as much as $500
which may be regarded as life in
surance as well as a burial fund.
The disbursements in this way Of
this one parent union from May /,
1892, to May 1, 1907, amounted to
SAB, 105, and in the year 1907 to $780,
270. By this burial sum every mem
Der Is guaranteed a respectable fun
eral-not as an act of charity, for
each member pays his share-and
there is enough left at least to en-
able his dependents to live until
plans can be made for the future.
The death rate in the International
Typographical Union for the year
ending May1, 1906, was LA per cent.
OF the average membership, or a lit
tie more than II per 1000 The aver
age death rate since the establish
ment Of the burial fund has been 1.21-
per cent-about II per 1000.
The death benefit features of trade
union perhaps do not cut much of
figure in the statistics of econom-
les, but investigation will develop
that very considerable sums are de
voted to this purpose and it is also

BLUFF SPRINGS.
Special to The Journal.

Blum Springs, July 16.-Prof. f. A
Mason and his class of singers gave
concert at Pleasant Hill church
last Friday night. The large church
was well filed, and quite number
OF pieces were rendered. All seemed
to be well pleased with the progress
made by the class. There were sc
singers. Some were rather small,
but all seemed we'll trained and rem
dered a good number Of pieces with
out a hitch in the music. This place
is having plenty of rain and the
farmers are going round with hig
smiles. The cotton prospect is a
little improved. Corn and other
crops are fine.

THE DRAPRAY
CONTROVERSY
Present Condition Thereof
AS it Appears to the
A. & N. Register.

The Army and Navy Register
says:
There does not appear 70 be an
end to the rumpus which has been
caused by AdjWant General Foster,
of Florida, in an effort to have re-
called from duty with the militia of
that state Major John A. Dapray, T..
s. Army, retired. Adjutant General
Foster bases this request ON the
ground that the Army officer was in
terfering with the duties of the form
er, that he had assumed a title TO
which he had no right, and had otIl-
cially conducted himself so rs to
make his relief from duty in Florida
necessary in the interest of harmony.
The War Department, in. the mean
time, has received from the COVER
nor of the state a high commentator
of Major Dapray, while the adjutant
general has given publicity also to
a letter dated July and signed by
the governor stating that be had
taken no action as yet in the MATES:
Of the application made by the adju-
taat general and Othec officers of the
state troops that Major Dapray be
relieved from duty with the organ
lied militia of FlOridS. The adjutalt
general and his friends insist that
this means that the governor may yet
approve their request. Of course, the
Wa Department will pay no atten-
ton 10 the incident uatil Lhere comes
a request for Major Dapray's relief,
and as the matter now stands the
governor of the state is on record in
as highly endorsing Ma
ior Dapray and as paying an unstint-
ed tribute to that officer-s value.
