EXIT E1GHT-HoUR FIGHT.

Attention is called in The Inland
Printer to the fact that Secretary
Brentwood, of the International Typo
graphical Union, has Issued a circular
letter to secretaries notifying them
that the executive council of the or
gandzation had ordered the discontin-
uance on February 20, of the assess
ment of one per cent on earnings.
This is the termination of one Of the
most remarkable incidents in the his
tory of labor unions. The assessment
has been in force since November 1,
1905. In September of that year
members of the United States Typoth-
etae, DESTROYS Of circumventIng the eff
forts of the union to establish the
eight-hour work-day on January 1,
1906, took action which preciptated a
series of strikes and 1ock-outs. To
meet this coup-de-ma1n the members
of the union voted to assess them
selves 80 cents a week, which went
into effect on November 1. 1t was
found that the resultant income was
insufficient, and on another vote be-
ing taken an assessment of ten per
cent on earnings was levied, which
was continued for almost a year, when
it was gradually reduced. When the
unpleasantness began the officers of
the union were compelled to make
loans in order to meet the increased
expenses, and had even notified MEM
bers there were no funds with which
to pay strike benefits. The last pub
hshed monthly statement shows a
cash balance of nearly $260,000 in all
the funds, while the officers report a
mounting membership.
The cessation of the assessment will
not, however, make much difference
in the amount to be paid by members,
for by virtue of votes taken during the
last year Or so the regular dues are
to be increased. An addition of 5
cents each month will be devoted to
extending the benefactions of the I'm
ion Printers Home at Colorado
Springs, and one-half of one per cent
is to be levied on all earnings for the
purpose of establishing an old-age
pension fund. The provisions of this
law are noted for their extreme con-
servatisn- Payments will not begin
until the assessment has been in
force for five months. So that on and
after August 1 next, members of TWEEN
ty years continuous connection, of
the age of sixty years Will be entitled
to pension of 81 a week. When the
scheme was being voted on, excep-
tons were taken to the restrictions
surrounding the benefits and the
amount set aside as a sinking fund,
so it is expected that the law Will be
liberalized in several respects in the
near future.

BE PROMPT AND THOROUGH.

After every such great disaster as
that at Collinwood the country shud-
ders with horror and resolves that
there must never be another one. Then
1t is forgotten by all but the friends
of the victims, and most of the evils
so fiercely denounced at first continue.
It was so after the IroQuois theater
fire in Chicago. Some theaters all over
the country. inadequately provided
with exits, were put in proper condi-
ton, but there is reason to believe
that many other public assembly
places exist where only a panic is
needed to produce a tragedy.
It is such a simple matter to pro-
vide exits, to construct doors SO that
they will open outward instead of in
ward. to provide that these doors never
shall be locked or bolted when a SER
vice or a performance or a school ses-
sion is going on, to equip an Industrial
building, school house or other
structures where a large number of
persons gather for study, amusement
or labor with fire escapes, that it is
amazing it is not done cheerfully and
voluntarily.
But builders, property owners and
forced by the law to attend to these
fundamental precautions. American
disregard for the security of human
life has become a theme of reqroach
to US from our foreign critics.
About the most sensible action that
has been taken. on this question is that
of the authorities of Illinois, who,
since the Collinwood catastrophe hap
IL
ing in the state not known to be
properly provided with exits, fire
escapes. doors that swing the right
way and similar provisions for the
escape of imperiled persons. And those
! schools have remained closed until
they have been equipped as prescribed
by law and made as safe as it is pos
sible to make buildings. Milwaukee
has followed suit by closing the third
| floors of sixteen school houses which
are not equipped with fire escapes.
And Topeka should not be behind
| her sister cities in making her schools
| as safe as they should be. Fire
escapes are sorely needed on the high
school buildings. Adequate ones
should be placed on them immediately
A man was heard the other day to
| argue that fire escapes on the high
| school buildings would spoil their ex-
| terror beauty. He and others who
think like him lack sense. What does
| the beauty of school BUILDING
amount to when compared with the
safety of children within it's walls
