The Pressmen are rejoicing over
their international representative,
Charles B. Cronley, coming to Lincoln
the 26th to take up their case and see
if he can not settle it favorably to all
parties. The Pressmen have done all
they could along these lines and the
International has decided to come and
bring the artillery and hospital. Mr..
Cronley has done great deal for the
International lately and fas a reputa-
tion of being very brief. It was the
fight of the Pressmen on the famous
Werner Co. of Akron, Ohio, that
busted them and through them the
Second National Bank of Cleveland,
