King Edward Of England Heners 9
Union stonemason.
King Edward has conferred the hon
or of knighthood upon w. s. Cross
man, mayor Of Cardiff, South Wales.
This announcement has an especial
significance because Of the fact that
the Jew knight is stonemason and
an Official in the union Of his trade.
He vas elected mayor Of Cardiff as
the Labor candidate and IS the Labor
partE representative in the municipal
COUNCIL. He is being saluted by all
classes OF Brltishers as "the frst labor
knight" and leading labor men from
all ever Great Britain are sending him
congratulations.
At first Mayor Crossman had some
doubts as to whether It would be well
for him 10 accept the honor Of knight
hood, because Of doubt as to how his
fellow laborers might look upon It.
It Is reported that the trades union
leaders almost unanimously are pleased
at what is considered a desire upon
the part Of the king to honor the cause
OF labor,
Sir William Crossman is said to be a
man of retiring disposition. He IS a
stanch nonconformlst and lives in the
humblest possible style.
The king has further pleased the
workers Of Wales by promising to es-
tabllsh a new order which shall talle
the form Of decoration for miners
who display bravery in pit disasters.

ST. PETER AND The LABEL.

With thoughtful brow and air sedate,
Challenging pilgrims from down below
To state their sins or passports show.
When one who had travelled the highway
long
stepped forth from out the wearied
throng,
"st. Peter, here you may plainly see

DEATH BENEFIT FUNDS.
Mortuary Feature of the Printers
Union a Prone uneed SUCCESS.

Mortuary Feature of the Printers
Union Pronounced Success.
In an interview James N. Lynch,
president of the International Typo
graphical union, gave some interesting
Information as to the mortuary feature
Of the organization.
It seems to be almost an instinct
with man to provide for his burial aft
err death. Men have been known-those
in poYerty-to laboriousiy collect and
cling to a small sum for burial pur-
poses, depriving themselves of the nee
essaries of life in order to retain this
money because Of the horror Of filling
a pauper's grave" Many associations
provide for the interment Of their mem
bers by burial fund, and especially
is this true of trades unions perhaps
all or nearly all OF them.
1t was to be expected that, as intel
ngent workingmen. the printers would
be found In the lead In such move
ment. While the greater number OF
their local associations have burial
funds OF their own from which to pro-
vide for decent interment Of their mem
bers, the International Typographical
union sends out from It's home Office
IN the Newton Claypool building, In
dianapolis, Ind, to the officers of each
subordinate union $40 for each death
Of member in good standing reported
TO IL. While this is but a modest
amount with which to pay the expenses
of funeral, yet, added to that provid-
ed by the local union, 1t makes a very
acceptable sunni some cities as much
as s500-wrich may be regarded as life
insurance as we'll as burial fund.
The disbursements in this way OF
this one parent union from May /, 1892,
to May /, 1907, amounted to S443, 100,
and In the year 1907 to $39,2T0. BY
this burial fund every member Is guar
anteed respectable funeral-not as an
act of charity, for each member pays
his share-and there is enough left at
least to enable his dependents to live
until plans can be made for the future.
The death rate in the International
Typographical union for the year end
ing May /, 1906. was LA per cent OF
the average membership, or a little
more than eleven per 1000. The aver.
age death rate since the establish
ment Of the burial fund has been 1.2t
per cent. about twelve per 1000.
The death benefit features OF trades
unions perhaps do not cut much Of a
figure in the statistics Of economics,
but investigation win develop that very
considerable sums are devoted TO this
purpose, and It is also greatly to the
credit Of the printers that It is very
rarely that member Of their society
or his family becomes a charge on the
public. living or dead.
