ternational Typographical
Union Opens Today

st. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The fifty
fifth convention of the International
Typographical union convened today
in the Coliseum, st. Joseph's big con-
vention hall. Addresses of welcome
were made by Mayor Clayton, Presi-
dent Burnham, Of the local typo
graphical union, and others, and a
response by President Lynch, of the
International Typographical union,
after which the convention began
consideration of a large volume of
business, ultimately adjourning. until
Tuesday morning to hear the report
of the credentials committee on con-
tested seats.
The reports of President Lynch and
Secretary Treasurer Hays show
great progress made by the union
during the last year.
The International Typographical
union is fifty-seven years old, and
with the present gathering has held
fifty-five conventions during its life
time. In 1896 and 1895 biennial
conventions were held. Tho Inter-
national Typographical union claims
to be the Oldest nationul Or interna
tional organization of Skilled la..or in
tho world. It's sessions here this
week are attended ~ ti,Iea hundred
delegates and eight hundred visitors.
Matters of t.;pp:...lce tia: are to
come before the convention are prop
ositions for the establishment of an
insurance feature, and certain chang
es proposed in the pension policy
that was made effective by the union
one year ago. The relations between
the union and the American News
paper Publishers association will
also be up for consideration.
The International Typographical
union has many features that are
unique with labor organizations, and
which stamp this union as one of the
most progressive in the labor field.
The pension policy, for instance, is
distinctly with the International Typ
ographical union. Under tho pension
law, members who have reached the
ages Of 60 years and are unable to
secure sustaining employment at the

trade are paid 81 per week. The
payment of pensions has heretofore
been considered the function of tho
government, but in this instance the
union evidently believes that its vet
erans should be taken care of inde--
pendent of state or nation. The pay-
ment of pensions began with the first
OF last August and up to May 81,
when the unions fiscal year closed.
$67,5 had been paid pensioners,
while the administration Of the fund
had cost only. $4,000.
The union also conducts home at

The expenditures of the Interna-
tional Typographical union during its
fiscal year were s161,54A.45.
From the years 1881 to 1909 the
union received $6,1SS, ,04575, and ex-
pended s5,950,S98.75, this sum includ-

al school at Chicago for the benefit
of its members and apprentices who
desire to perfect themselves in their
trade.

Bolivia May Be Seeking An

DISSATISFACTION OVER THE
BOUNDARY AWARD A BLIND
If Bolivia Could Get Moquegua Pro.
vince as an Indemnity, 1t Would
Give Her Splendid Harbor in Her
Own Territory.

Washington, Aug. 9-Is Bolivia
seeking a pretense to bring on war
with Peru? This question is being
asked, seriously too, by South Ameri-
cam diplomats who are watching ev-
cry Development in the situation in
which Argentina, Bolivia and Peru
are directly interested and Chill and
Brazil indirectly. Some of the Cinlo-
mats profess to think that the ex-
cltement in Bolivia over the Argen-
tina award, which was favorable to
Peru, is really a blind on the part
OF the politicians there to bring about
an armed conflict with Peru, nominal
ly to secure more satisfactory adj
justment of the boundary of the dis
puted tract, but actually aimed at
territorial conquest.
Bolivia has n sea coast. A suc-
cessful war with Peru might give her
an outlet to the sea by demanding
as an indemnity, Mequegua province
the southermost in Peru and adjoin-
ing the Chilian frontier. In that pro-
vince is the harbor of Ilo at the
mouth of the river of that name. The
harbor is said to be an excellent one
and its acquisition by Bolivia would
be a great advantage to her.
Much depends on the attitude to be
assumed by the Bolivian congre. /:
which opened its sessions Saturday.

CAMP PERRY IS
ANIMATED SPOT
Various Rifle sohots Are Now
in Full Swing on National
Range

Camp Perry Range, Ohio, August 9.
Everything is in readiness for a
strenuous three weeks of shooting on
this range, the largest in the United
States and destined to show the finest
rifle shooting ever seen in this coun-
try within the next few weeks. To-
morrow morning the matches of the
Ohio national guard will be started
continuing through Wednesday. On
Thursday those matches of the Ohio
state Rifle association which are open
to the Ohio national guard, will begin
continuing until Friday evening.
Saturday the joint matches of the
Ohio and the Department of the Lakes
Rifle association will open with the
Hale cup match. Sunday will be a
day of rest but Monday comes the
Catrow cup match. Tuesday the Du-
pont try match with $400 prize money
divided among the first forty-three
competitors will be shot. Wednesday
the 18 will see the Herrick trophy
match and on Thursday the "gover-
nor's match" Through this period
there will be numerous other matches
SO the range viii be fully occupied at
all times. One of those which is at
tracing attention because of it's un-
usual character is the novelty skirm-
ish match in which competitors will
be started with fifty rounds of am
munition and will skirmish from 600
to 20 yards making the usual stops at
600, 500, 400, $50, 300 and 200 yards.
At each firing point the targets will
be displayed at unknown intervals of
not less than ten seconds or more
than thirty-five seconds. Each COM
petit0r can fire as many times as he
pleases at each range but the usual
commands of commence aud cease
firing will not be given, the appear
ance and disappearance Of the targets
governing the firing.
During the coming week the con-
tests will be confined principally to
the Ohio national guard 80 the influx
of outside talent is not expected un-
til next week. The range will be
named by the Ohio national guard un-
til the regular army takes hold on
August 10 after which 1t. Col. r, X.
Evans, the officer designated by the
war department, will have charge un-
til the end of the National Rifle asso-
citation matches. Under him will be
approximately 100 regular army Of,
ficers and 1000 men to act as mark
ers, scorers, statisticians, e&. The
total attendance during these matches

completion. There is no lack Of work
when these are finished. The oppor-
tunities for further conservation Of
the waste waters are almost unlimit-
ed, especially in localities where at
temptS have been made on a small
scale and complications of such ma
ture have arisen, especially those of
vested rights, that successful action
can be taken only by following up
the matter with infinite tact and pa
tience, coupled with the resources of
the reclamation fund.
Another Side.
"Of courye. there is always another
side to ey asrge problem. 1t is
not conceivas ). ). the reclamation
act could be WIZ A2sto feet or that
its s..ainistration c.sscal without
flaw. "he very 5eneh. "ht

ss ss,s's!'@ on ,sa''ss"sn' si in ss s
neighborhood, is free: -riticised as
involving unnecessary hal> lip, and
yet this is one of the requirements
which the majority of congress con-
sidered as being an essential condi-
tion for the advancement of federal
funds.
"The slowness of the work is also
criticised and 1t has come to be a
matter of general remark that the
government is always slow. This.
like many truisms, is a statement
which does not stand close analysis.
There are very few corporations
which have accomplished with the
funds available as much as has been
carried on by the reclamation serv-
ice.
The successful handling of the
reclamation fund probably requires
as much, II not more, skill and pa
tfence than in any industrial enter
prise. On the one hand are the set
tiers clamoring for immediate re-
suits; on the other hand are engi-
neerfng problems and complications
of vested rights. to water and diff
cult rights of way, with defective
land titles, all of which must be ma
tiently worked out under very exact
ing regulations. The federal em-
ploye Is regarded by all as proper
target. when Joined with this is the
fact that the man in control of the
ditch Is as matter of course re-
garded by everyone as responsible
for every evil in the community and
you have e combination which re-
quires almost unlimited skill, tact
and self-control.
The reclamation act is not per-
feet document, but, like most acts of
congress. is the result of comprom-
ise of many conflicting ideas. Where
ever 1t may be defective, these de-
fects can only be remedied in one
way, namely, by congress and not by
any official. 1t is worse than useless,
therefore, to attempt to remedy these
defects, If they exist, through criti-
cism of the methods adopted by the
officials in direct charge. Any need
ed improvements should be brought
to the attention Of the .law-making
body and particularly to the COM
'mtttees on irrigation OF the senate
and house, each Of which is seeking
for suggestions and intelligent advice
from practical men,"
