SIffl BOX CARS
 10 Bt ADOPTED
The Satisfactory Result Of the Exper- iment Made by the Union Pacific.

New York, Aug. I2.-SatiSfied with alI-steel box car built at it's Omaha shops. the Union Pacific railroad has ordered 25 of these cars tO be con structed immediately. With capacity Of 50 cubic feet more than that of th.. standard Union Pacific wooden ear. the steel car weighs two tons less 37.s0O pounds. Besides affordins, greater safety and protection tO goods in transit, the steel car requires h-ss repairing than a wooden car. will b. out of service less frequently. and viii therefore give more as wei as better service to carrier and shipper
 A 15-inch lbeam forms the center sill of the car below tn. double steel flooring. Actual tests have shown that the car is stronger than the wood usu- ally used. Tests have also developed the fact that the steel underfram- of a wooden box ear cannot stand up against the all-Steel box ear In col- lision the end of a wooden car Was badly damaged. while the steel car was uninjured. The doors of the steel car are formed by single sheets of steel reeinfOrced like the sides and ends Of the car. by diagonal bracing.
 The anticipated difficulties in load ing and unloading and the injury that , the steel sides and bottom Of the car might do to contents have not been borne out by the Union Pacific's eN- perience. as shown in the order now placed for additional cars of this type

SANITARY CONDITIONS IN COM POSING ROOMS.

Another most important proposition touched upon in the presidents report embraces the sanitary conditions in composing rooms throughout the coun- try. The president strongly advises that local unions insist on healthful workrooms. and without question the convention will endorse the presidents recommendation. The movement for the stamping out of tuberculosis has become national. and the union print CTS believe that they are vitally inter ested in its success. Tuberculosis has for many years been the scourge of the printing trade. and the Union Printers Home at present contains a large number of patients who are suffering from the white plague, It is believed by the union printers that unsanitary and badly ventilated composing rooms are responsible for much of the tuber- culosis that exists among them. and they propose to see to it that they are not made victims of a disease that in nearly all cases spells death. From the expression of the delegates it is evil dent that there will be drastic action by the convention along this line.
 The arbitration agreement between the American Newspaper Publishers association and the International Ty- geographical Union is given extended notice in the presidents report. It is shown that about 200 of the larger newspapers of the country have arbi- tration contracts with the Internation- Ial Typographical Union. It is also demonstrated that this agreement has been of great value to the union and that many increases in wages have been secured under it in a peaceable way. The operation of this agreement thus far has been a distinct success. and it is believed that there will be but little friction under it. It will expire in 1912
 The president recommends rigid rules for the education of apprentices. The union seeks to turn out first-class workmen. believing that the better ment of conditions and the securing of Ia fair wage depends to a large extent on the ability of the workman.
 The Union Printers Home. as stated by the president in his report, is a most successful institution. It is sup ported and maintained entirely by the International Typographical Union. and is the only institution of its kind in the world.

THE FRISCO

A Test of the Validity of
 the Oliver Body
California Supreme Court Decides to Go Into an Inquiry.

San Francisco. Aug 12-The su- preme court shortly before o'clock this evening. issued orders directing Superior Judges I.awior. Cook and Dunne, to show cause before the high CT court en banc on Monday Aug. I9 why they should not issue permanent writs of prohibition restraining them from proceeding with the trials of Ru- dolph Schmidt. indicted for participa- ton in street car rioting. Assistant Counsel William NJ Abbott, of the United Railroads. indicted on the charge of bribing the supervisors. and Theodore V. Halsey and Louis Glass. of the Pacific States Telephone compa- ny. and w. I. Frederick of the Park side Transit Company. similarly in- dicted
 The issuance of these orders, follow ing a long consultation by the chief justice and the associate justices in chambers. during the afternoon. is es- teemed a great victory for the joint de- fense in the bribery graft proceedings, as it means that the supreme court sees in the various grounds upon which the validity of Oliver grand jury in- idictments are attacked, enough merit to call for argument from the con tending sides before the highest court
 The chief ground upon which writs are prayed for is that the oliver grand jury was illegal the body having ceased to exist when the new grand jury list for the present year was drawn and certified to by the county clerk; that hence. the indictments by it returned are null and void and can- not bc tried in any court.

They dispersed to their homes. and in q short time there was no sign of any thing unusual around the building. One man was arrested by the police because he disputed their right to or- der him to move on. The men cheered as they came into the street. IL was stated by a general officer of the com pany that 201 men refused to go out. and that by o'clock this afternoon they had full force at work. The union officials said that they had not ordered the men to strike and in fact. did everything possible to prevent their going out The union, however. will stand by them.

HOT SPRINGS
 HOLDS ]. I. J.
Fifty.Third Session of the
 Union Opened Yesterday
Reports Showing the Prog ress of the Organization In a Year.

Hot Springs. Ark. Aug. 12.-The fif- ty-third convention of the Internation- al Typographical Union was called to order this morning in the spacious dining room of the Eastman hotel. which has been temporarily converted into a convention hall. Addresses of welcome were made by the mayor of the city, the officers of the local union and others. and were responded to by President James M. Lynch The re-
 ports of officers were then presented to the convention. About 1 300 dele
 gates and visitors are in attendance.
 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 poli- cies and touches upon those that have become a 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 occu- py considerable of the convention's time. The campaign for an eight-hour day. which has been vigorously prose- cuted by the International Typograph- ical Union for nearly two years, is touched upon extensively. and it is shown that this movement has been attended with very large degree of success. about 45.000 members of the union now working not more than eight hours per day.
 In the presidents report the proposi- ton to pension the superannuated and incapaciated members of the union is given considerable space. This feature. if adopted. will be a new venture for the union. but it is looked on with much favor by the delegates. and un- doubtedly proposition embracing the membership vote of the International Typographical Union.
 This union. or the introduction of typesetting machines. avoided the CT TOT committed by other trade unions in fighting the machine. and encouraged and advised the members 10 learn The operation Of the new device. Because of that wise policy nearly all typeset- ting machines are now operated by

At exactly ten minutes past eleven o'clock last night what had been feared for forty-eight hours came to pass. The service of the Associated Press in Phoenix was suspended. There had been a hope that the blow might be with held until the latter part of the week if in fact it might not be altogether averted. But early in the evening when word came that the operators of the news service in New York had struck, it was evident that the paralysis might be expected at any moment.
 There is nothing on which to base a conjecture as to when it may be resumed. It may be very quickly and then again, it may be days before readers of As sociated Press papers will be ap- prised of what is going on in the world. It may be expected that early action of some sort will be taken by the board of directors of the organization. It may take the form of a compromise or of de- termination to fight, in which case there will be painful and indefi- mite dearth of telegraphic news.
