PRINTERS VOTE
FOR PENSION

The Typographical union of this
city has voted on the proposed
amendments to the constitution of
the International Typographical
union and the vote here has been
canvassed with the following re-
suits:
To reliquish jurisdiction over
newspaper writers-S3 for; IA
against
To increase the bond Of the Sec
rotary treasurer from $4,000 to
$50 10000 for, IL against.
To increase the salary of the in
ternational president from $1,000
to $4,000 per year-39 for, 81
against.
To increase salary of the inter-
national secretary from $1,000 to
$4,000 per year-43 fer, SO against.
To increase the burial fund from
$40 to $75-91 for, 9 against.
To provide a pension of 81 per
week to aged tand superannuated
members-68 for, 33 against.
AS the vote here stands the
union desists in further efforts to
maintain an organization of re-
porters. The attempt to make such
affiliation effective has been kept
up for years, but never with much
prospect of success. Majority op-
position also developes to increas-
ing the salaries of the interna-
tional officers.
If the rest of the locals affiliated
with the national organization vote
as did the Spokane members, print
ers too old to work will be assured
of better pension than the govern
ment usually pays old soldiers.
A referendum vote of the unions
all over the country has been taken
on the proposed amendments and
the final results will be announced
from headquarters at Indianapolis
as soon as the ballots are received
and counted The Spokane union
cast total of 1913 votes.
