printers to so conduct themselves as

instead of being a disgrace to the

great good could be accomplished
right here in Lincoln by the formation
of Union Printers and Allied Crafts
Club. conducted on business as we'll
as a social basis. There are 110
printers and some rs pressmen, press
feeders, sterotypers and bookbinders
in Lincoln. A monthly contribution
of fifty cents from all members in good
standing would bring in a revenue of
$9250. A good hall with ample ante
rooms can be rented for $35 to $50
per month with janitor, heat, light and
other perquisites. How nice it would
be to have such place where the
typos and their allied brother work
a schedule of help wanted could be
tabulated and where employers could
turn instantly when in need of any
help. And then the social and bust
and it's rental for functions other than
the allied crafts, would bring in a
revenue which would greatly lessen
| the expense to the body who were at
| the head of such a club.
Think this over, boys, and let Lin
coin wake up to the great benefits
| to accrue from such a club. 1t will
| take a little ginger to get the scheme
launched, but once organized ! think
| it will be a success and keep the

THE PRESSM EN-.
Some Matters of Interest to the Boys
Who "Make Ready"


The United Typothaete is likely to
die of enlargement of the heart, due to
an excess of generosity towards the
pressmen. In answer to demand
from the pressmen for the eight hour
day the Typothaete offers to cut off
fifteen minutes year utnil 1912, and
give recognizance to the eight-hour
day, providing the pressmen will sign
another open shop contract. The press
men have not evinced any disposition
to break their necks in their haste to
accept the offer.
The strike of presSmen and feeders
at the Brooklyn plant of the United
States Printing Company has ended
in an amicable settlement between the
company's officials and representatives
of the unions concerned. In the ad-
justment of the scale of wages the pay
in some departments was more than
doubled. For example, feeders who had
been working for S. per week will
receive $12 under the new agreement,
until January !, 1907; and $14 per week
after that date. The strike was called
off on Thursday of last week, and the
entire force returned to work the fol-
lowing morning under the new con-
ditions.r@
IIIWork in Lincoln press rooms has
been entirely too good for weeks past.
Many of the pressmen have been
forced to work overtime until they
were all in. But it made the envelopes
swell up on pay day.
The International Printing Pressmen
and Assistants union is to establish
general headquarters soon in Indian
apols.
i From all over the country come re-
ports of unanimous sentiment among
the pressmen for the eight-hour day at
the expiration of their present agree
ment, May l, 1907.
The Webb Pressmen's union in Chi
cago have entered.into new agreement
with the Daily News, Post Examiner,

TALK BY A TYPO"
An Interesting Letter From An Old
Time Printer Man.

Time Printer Man.
Although comparative stranger in

frozen cline of northern Minnesota,
feel at home when l meet with such
a fine body of the boys as comprise
the typos of Lincoln-and am pleased
to note the activity of No. 209 in keep
ing the forge aflame and the irons hot
all along the line.
1t is an indisputable fact that the
International Typographical Union is
the best organized and best financed
labor body in existence in the United
States, anG it is noticeable that this or
ganization is respected and recognized
by all other unions-in all directions
and especially so in the Northwest
among the railroad men. This was
observable when, fortnight ago, I
used an editorial trip ticket which ran
out that date-the last train on the
last day of 1906. l was leary, if you
win pardon slang phrase, that the
ticket would be turned down. But the
conductor took the same and in a
talk during the trip-when l showed
him my card-said that even if the
ticket had expired he'd have passed
me to st. Paul, well knowing that l
was true blue and that the prints

that many printers impose upon con

they ever have any difficulty and l
can do them a good turn it will be
done. Conductors, like printers, have
to learn their trade. Different with
