AMBITIOUS PROGRAM BY
THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION

In an article published by one of
the leading daily papers, the president
of the International typographical
Union said:
'As compared with four years ago
believe that the condition of organ
lied labor has been much improved.
And the condition of organized labor
four years ago, as compared with that
four years previously, will show that
wonderful progress has been made
Four years ago the members of the
International Typographical Union
working at the book and job branch
of the trade were laboring nine hours
per day, fifty-four hours per week; to-
day these members are working not
more than eight hours per day. or
forty y-eight hours per week. Wages
In our trade during the past four
years have been materially advanced,
the total Increase representing mil
lions of dollars. We find that wherever
the eight-hour day has been in effect
for year or more wage Increases are
forthcoming. and with comparatively
little friction. AS a general PROPOSE
ton, OF course, wages have not in
creased in proportion with the cost of
living. The advance In the cost of
living has been by leaps and bounds.
but through the trade union movement
we have at least been able to lessen
the burden of that increased cost to
our members 1t Is the unorganized
wage Garner who is suffering because
of the unprecedented increase in the
necessities of life; his wages remain
stationary.
"As to the future, a vast amount
of work requires attention. We still
stand for the complete attainment OF
all of the reforms advocated by the
labor movement

for such money turned over to them
rate OF interest varying from 2 to 3
per cent The department would
guarantee the depositor per cent, or
l per cent semi-annually. Thus evil
dence is given to the savings banks
that we are not in competition with
them and that our business would in
nowise affect their deposits. their

United States Is estimated to be $3,-

in the banks and 1888, ,S55 ,O53 In the
Treasury; the balance, Sits, sol, $50,
being in the hands of individuals and
other sources. This last amount
seems large at first glance. but when
we think of the wages that people are
earning today. and that II each person
in the country had in his possession
$40 in cash, $500 100000 would be ae-
counted for. or about half the amount
1t will be the policy of the depart
ment also to simplify in every way

so that less time may be consumed in
registering letters and obtaining mon

from the public for postal notes, and
it is the purpose of the department to
recommend such paper in denomina-
tons of 10 cents. 20 cents, 25 cents,
80 cents, 40 cents, so cents, go cents,
20 cents, so cents, 80 cents. $1.00. and
up to $3.50. 1t is the intention to
have the notes payable to the party
designated. A small fee will be char
ged, but time will be saved, as no ad-
vices are to be sent. From l cent to
9 cents the notes will be made payable
to bearer. and no fee will be CHARGED

Tests OF stamp vending machines
will be begun this month, and If the
machines are satisfactory they will
yenient to the public in facilitating
the sale of stamps.
At the end of the calendar year
complete information will be obtained
relative to the cost of transporting
the various classes of mail matter,
and the amount of mail matter which
is ranked, and the quantity handled
for each of the various departments,
Congress having appropriated $780,
900 for the weighing of the mails for
that purpose. Thus. for the first time
in the history of the post office depart
ment, 1t viii be possible to figure in
telligently the actual cost to the gov
ernment of handling the mails. and
believe the data so obtained viii tend
to show (when we take into consider
alton the cost of transporting mail
matter for the different departments
of the governmenD that very large
portion of the deficit would be wiped
out If such free matter were properly
charged on the books
Gentlemen, In brief way | have
today called to your attention some
of the chief recommendations which

I'VE believe that wages and hours.
important as they are to our material
welfare, are not the only subjects In
the ken of trade union action. and we
intend to consider, and eventually to
make effective, measures that will
