PRINTERS EYES
ON MINNEAPOLIS
MILL CITY WILL BE GATHERING
PLACE OF THE INTERNATIONAL
TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTION
big MEETING AUGUST 8 TO 10
INCLUSIVE.

AS the summers advances all eyes in
the printers world are being turned on
the third city in size of the Mississippi;
Minneapolis, where the great typo
| graphical convention is to be held this
year. The big miller's city is expect
ing to show the printers of the country
one of the biggest times they have
ever had at any Of their previous con-
ventions. And a typographical union
convention is no small nor easy thing
to handle either
After weeks and weeks Of planning
and replanning, arrangements near
completion, though yet there are many
| details to worry the members of the
committee in charge. 1t is the effort
of the local executive committee of the
Minneapolis typographical union to
provide everything that is novel, inter-
esttng and pleasurable of which the
city of forests can boast for the en-
tertainment Of the American printers
and their wives who will partake of
their hospitality. For more than a year
they have been industriously working
for their success this August and es-
pecially so since the reelection of
President Lynch of the Typographical
union said last year, when reelected
Tor the fourteenth consecutive term,
that he wanted to make the Minneap-
oils convention the greatest over which
he had yet presided and he solicited
the earnest and hearty support and
cooperation of all his subordinate Of
hcers and the Minneapolis typos in
executing his desire. What has been
left undone is hardly worth mentioning.
The dates set for the convention are
Aug. to ID inclusive. The West hotel
has been selected as Headquarters
while the sessions Of the convention
VIII be held in Dreamland dancing pa
Villon, only four blocks away. 1t is
pleasant and cool, which will be es-
pec1ally gratifying news to the dele
gates who have attended annual BUSH
ness sessions in the past which have
generally been held in close quarters
in the sweltering August weather
The entertainment features of the
convention which have been planned
are more appealing and all the dele
gates are urged to arrive In Minneap-
Oils the Saturday preceding the OPEN
ing day of the convention so as TO par
ticipate in one of the big social events
OF the session. On that sevening. Sat.
urday, Aug 6, the great get together
will be held in the Casino rink for the
men, while the reception for their
wives and women visitors will be given
in the parlors of the West hotel
While the arrangements for SUNDAY
are still in preparation, it has been an
nounced that an automobile trip over
the boulevards and through the world
famous parks of the -four city win be
the chief feature Of the day. On Mon
day afternoon there will be a trolly
ride over town, winding up at the i'm
mense plant of the Minneapolis Brew
ing Co., where, after a tour of inspec-
tion all the delegates, their wives and
other visitors will be seated at an
elaborate luncheon consisting of the
choicest viands and the best that ca
terers can prepare.
The real red-letter day of the con-
vention will be Tuesday, called est.
Paul day." when the entire convention
delegates, officers and visitors, will be
the guests of Typographical Union No.
30 Everybody will be welcomed in
Minnesota's sanity capital and a big
reception will follow an extensive tour
of the city and visit to all the public
buildings and parks of prominence.

sort will be traversed by pleasure
steamers and launches. The manage
ment of the popular resort, including
the casino at Big Island, has turned
the place over carte blanche" to the

arrangements, to make the week q
pleasant one. The leisure hours OF the
