According to a recent decision ir

through the branches, received a
shock which caused him to fall. As
result the young climber was BE- Il"
injured and his father brought suit
against the lighting company. The
tree in question was a small oak, hav
Ing numerous branches which came
close to the ground. The court hand
ed down the novel decision that as the
lighting company had knowledge of
the tree and what kind of tree it was
1t also ought to have seen that it was
just the kind of tree into which chill

said the court, the immemorial habit
of small boys to climb trees filled

which corporations stretching wires
through such trees must take notice
1t was held tfnt small boys had right
to climb snch trees and a verdict was
given in favor of the father.

Ihe Pomeroy Bend miners strike
which has been on since January

settled last Saturday night mt a
conference of the operators and
District President Cecil and State
Secretary Savage, of the miners
organization. The miners gained
practically every point at issue.
Ihe union is recognized and the
scale for drivers and pu- hers, for
the first time in the history of min

OF labor, where the prices is not
otherwise stated, an advance of 7
per cent. over the old price is pro-
vided.
The present strike has been the
most determined ever prosecuted
there. Citizens are greatly elated
over the settlement, as business has
been paralyzed for months.
Too much credit cannot be given

THE TRADE UNION in THE MAKING
The Early Effort of Printers at Organization, and Their
Great Union Of Today.

Every other month the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at
Washington issues Il bulletin set
ting forth in statistical form labor
conditions throughout the country,
and also embracing special articles
by agents of the department and
noted economists. Bulletin No. 81 !,
issued in November, 1905, had a
notable contribution from Mr..
Ethelbert Stewart, one of the
special agents of the Department of
Commerce and Labor captioned
"a Documentary History of the
EARLY Organization of Printers. !"
That Il number of disconnected
typographical societies existed in
various parts Of the United States
prior to the formation of the
unions as now constituted, while
not perhaps generally known, will
not be new to students of the his
tory of labor organizations.
''Ihe references to these early
organization are usually hazy,"
says Mr. Stewart, in the article re
ferred to, containing no more
than mere statement that they
existed at certain dates, with no
evidence offered of the truth of
even these statements. In this
article it is believed the first at.
tempt is made to be specific in the
information presented about these
early organizations. In this re-
spect, at least, the article repre-
sents pioneer work in its field, not
only i'll the reproduction of docu.
ments, but i'll the resort to the
minute books of these societies. as
a source of information about other
kindred societies. Thus the tran
scription of circular letters from
other societies, upon the records of
the Columbia Society, or the New
York or Philadelphia societies, has
furnished documentary proof yof
the existence of many printers
organizations nowhere else referred
to.'
Trade unions have been very
much in the public eye for the past
five years. Few people have the
time, or perhaps the inclination, to
give study to the early growth of
lnc SEedU lGduc unions OF TO-DAY, al
though nearly every one will be
interested in a brief history of this
phenomenal upbuilding, such as it
furnished in the bulletin of. the
Department of Commerce and
Labor referred to- in connection
with the International Topographic
cal Union,- whose foundation rests
or the early effort of printers to
organize typographical unions and
typographical societies. 1t is
shown that more than a hundred
years the international Typograph-
ical Union was in the making. and
that it has taken all of this time
for this great trade organization to
reach its present strength and high
standing in the public estimation.
So well did the union printers
think of Mr.. Stewards researches,
and the resultant article, that the
officers of the International Typo
graphical Union were instructed
by a convention to reprint the
article in pamphlet form, and it
can now be obtained without
