THEIR REPORTS, SHOWING THE
PROGRESS MADE.
MANY DELEGATES ATTEND.

welcome were made by the mayor OF
the city, the officers of the local un-
ion and others, and were responded to
by President James NJ. Lynch. About

The report of President Lynch is a
comprehensive document. and covers
the progress made by the International
Typographical union for the period
elapsing since the Colorado Springs
convention. and also outlines new poll
cies and touches upon those that have
become part of the work and history
of the organization. Among other
things an aggressive campaign for the
union label is recommended, and it is
quite likely that this subject will oc-
cupy considerable of the conventions s
time The campaign for an eight
hour day, which has been vigorously
prosecuted by the International Typo
graphical union for nearly two years,
is touched upon extensively, and it is
shown that this movement has been at
tended with very large degree of sue
cess, about $4,000 members of the un-
ion now working not more than eight
hours per day.

Pension Is Proposed.

In the presidents report the PROPOSE
tion to pension the superannuated and
incapacitated members of the union is
given considerable space. This fea-
| ture. if adopted, will be a new venture
for the union. but it is looked on with
much favor by the delegates, and un-
doubtedly a proposition embracing the
pension feature will be submitted to a
membership vote of the International
Typographical union.
This union. on the introduction of
typesetting machines, avoided the err
ror committed by other trade unions in
fighting the machine and encouraged
and advised the members to learn the
operation of the new device. Because
of that wise policy nearly all typeset-
ting machines are now operated by un-
ion printers This subject is touched
upon in the presidents report. and the
membership is advised to continue
the friendly attitude toward the ma
chine. and to create the greatest op-
portunity for the instruction of union
, printers in the operation of typeset-
ting devices.

NEW YORK, Aug, 1.-THE day of

form is over. 1t must either conform
now to justice and fair dealing or It
will fail utterly. l don't mean that its
day is over this year or will be over

right is right"
Miss Ida Mr.. Tarbell in an interview
given to the World last night thus ex-
pressed her satisfaction at the assess
ment of the $2s,OOo,OOO fine on the Oil
trust by Judge Landis. Miss Tarbell
Is regarded as the greatest authority
on the workings of the Oil trust. Her
History of the Standard Oil Com
pany" first brought home to the gen.
eral public a realization of the trusts
far-reaching operations and their true
significance.
Credit for the tremendous fine as
a elimination of her labors is not,
however, taken by Miss Tarbel. She
regards 1t as rather the climax of a
warfare extending over S5 years.
After S5 years of such practices as
the Standard Oil company has been
guilty Of" said Miss Tarbell, st is en-
trely just that. after conviction, the
maximum punishment should be inn
posed. am only sorry that the pun
ishment cannot be something more
than a nne."
