Executive Council
| SADIE MAGUIRE,
| THE Executive Council.
The Most Worshipful Secretary re-
iterates his def of THE executive
council The deadly insult of being
called a Missouri brat" will not be
overlooked. But it might have been
expected from the Irish mick who
comes over here, and before his
brogue is worn off presumes to tell
native born Missourians what to do.
Something has got to be done to make
these foreign scum realize their
| place-so there now. AS long as they
were confined to the police force they
were all right, but the minute we took
pity on one of them and elevated him
| to an Office worth while, he swells up
like poisoned pup and presumes to
| dictate. To hear THE executive COM
mittee talk one would think he really
had way of enforcing his mandates.
Piff1e! Also tush, tush! The men,
Der of our Noble Order who fails to
send his per capita tax to the Most
Worshipful Secretary will not be al
lowed hearing in the official organ.
The Most Worshipful Secretary is edi-
tor of the official organ, even if he
is not a part and parcel of THE exc
cutive committee. Anyone caught
viping while in arrears for per capita
tax according to the Most Worshipful
Secretary's books will "get his'n" and
get it in way that will make Butte
feel like rejoicing that it was NO
worse. AS a measure of retaliation
the Most Worshipful Secretary here
to increase the salary of THE execu
tive council will not be given place
on the official ballot And this is not
the only club we hold over the AFRO
CANT head of THE executive council
either. There are twenty-five Other
reasons why THE executive council
dare not carry this matter too far
Just to show our independence we
hereby appoint j. ]. Dirks Most Wor
shipful Chiropodist of the Benevolent
Order of ZooZ, and his commission
is forwarded by this mail. Now come
on, you Munster Mug We defy yor
to do your worst And we don't com
promise by taking a slap in the face
either. So there now.

President Berry, of the Information
al Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union, appeared before the conven
ton and requested modification o
the contract between the international
Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union and the United Typothetae o
America on the closed-shop question
His request was turned down by tn
remnant of the Typothetae. ! under
stand that President Berry will re
commend to his organization, on a rel
erendum proposition, that immediate
demand be made for the eight-hou
day and closed shop.
My information is also to the Ell
feet that more disconsolate, dis
gusted, and utterly routed relic of
once great organization never met il
convention than the United Typothe
tae of America in it's Niagara Fall
session this week.
