ance as well as burial fund.
 The disbursements in this way of this one parent union from May 1 1892. to May l. 1907. amounted to s443 los. and in the year 1907 to s39,- 210. By this burial fund 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 enable his de- pendents to live until plans can be made for the future.
 The death rate in the International Typographical Union for the year end ing May 1. 1906. was 1.14 per cent of the average membership, ar lit tie more than II per 1000. The aver age death rate since the establish ment of the burial fund has been l.2l per cent-about F per 1000.
 The death benefit features of trade unions perhaps do not cut much of a figure in the statistics of economies, but investigation will develop that very considerable sums are devoted to this purpose. and it is also greatly to the credit of the printers that il is very rarely that a member of their society or his family becomes a charge on the public. living or dead.

ONE VIEW OF TRADE UNIoNIsM.
A Mortuary Feature That Has Been a Great Business Success and
 Individual Aid.

In an interview appearing in an eastern paper recently, James NJ Lynch, president of the International Typographical Union. gave some in teresting information as to the nor tuary feature of the organization.
 It 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 bu- rial purposes. deprivinF themselves of the necessaries of life in order to re tain this money, because of the hor- TOT of filling pauper's grave" Many associations provide for the in torment of their members by a burial fund. and especially is this true of trade unions-perhaps all or nearly all of them.
 It was to be expected that. as in telligent wOrkingmen, the printers would<be found in the lead in such a movement. While the greater number of their local associations have burial funds of their own. from which to provide for decent interment of their members. the International Typo graphical Union sends out from it's home office in the Newton Claypool building, Indianapolis. Ind. to the of ficers of each subordinate union S7O for each death of a member in good standing reported to it. While this is but a modest amount with which to pay the expenses of a funeral. yet. added to that provided by the local union. it makes a very acceptable sum in some cities as much as s500- which may be regarded as life insur-

gives the president the benefit of doubt in the expression attributed to President Roosevelt" Ito however. for himself evidently entertains no doubt, otherwise he would have withheld his own statement.
 But the 'misgivings" felt by him may have arisen from another cause as well as from the presidents report ed boast. That is the blundering and seemingly crafty manner in which this whole business of the battleships has proceeded recently.
 When the reported announcement of the president was made of the inten- ton to send the squadron to the Pa cific. there was no furry in Japan. none anywhere outside the sensational press. Then came the speech of Sec retary Metcalf of the navy, at OakA land, on July 4. in which he confirmed the previous announcement and re- gretted that publicity had been given to the intended transfer as he had brought the secret across the conti- nent to open it to the Californians on Independence day. Almost simul- taneOusly. William Lqeb Jr.. whose utteranccs are supposed to be inspired. came forward with correction of the impression which had been made. saying that it had only been deter mined to send the battleships on a long cruise. but it had not been determined to send them to the Pacific. but point ing out that if they should be sent there, their mission would be entirely natural and peaceful Here was enough to make the Japanese regard with suspicion what seemed on the face of it a perfectly harmless and proper maneuver
