CHOOSE CLEVELAND
Also Vote to Keep the Old Age Pen. sion Fund For Fighting
 Purposes.

San Francisco, Aug. 1s.-Clevelano has been chosen as the place for the next annual convention of the Inter national Typographical Union by a vote of 114 to 106, cast for Houston. Texas. Decision was on the second ballot. Ottawa, Ont, and Vancouver, B. C., dropped out after the first bal lot.
 A Law committees constitutional amendment to raise the salary of the President and Secretary Treasurer from $2,400 to $500 per year was adopted by unanimous vote. A con- stitutional amendment by which the vote of 100 unions is required for the initiation of proposed legislation, in- stead of fifty was carried, S7 to 76.
 On one issue President Lynch took his stand with the so-called radicals. The proposal was to keep the old age pension fund on hand for fighting resources, instead of investing them in bonds as in the past. MT. Lynch favored the use of the money as an emergency fund.- and was sustained by an almost unanimous vote.

Special from United Press.)
 New York, Aug. 1S-"It is against the effort of employer and laws of trade to place the skilled with the un- skilled. the intelligent with the ignor- ant, the strong with. the weak, the man with the woman and the woman with the child-against the tendency of the market to lengthen the hours of labor, to furnish cheap and unsafe tools and unsanitary conditions, and there is but one aggressive, substantial force in modern society today Clar- ence Darrow, the noted Chicago labor attorney will say in the September American Magazine. That force is trade unionism.
 Through all the changing years the working classes have supported and built up their unions in the face of the powerful influence, in the face of Legislatures and courts, in spite of starvation and jails, of evil repute and good. And just as consistently have the employing class, as a class, sought from the beginning by every means at their command to destroy these workingmen's organizations, and while we admit their shortcomings have been many, we must realize that all of their methods have been borrowed from their employers been brought about by the natural instinct to preserve life in fierce competi- tive industrial struggle-in brutish struggle which is not ethical but which is selfish to the core.''
 Darrow, who is making the last fight of his lengthy career as a law yer, in behalf of the McNamara broth CTS, charged with having blown up the Los Angeles Times, bitterly assails the various associations standing for the "open shop principle.
 He insists that the great industrial struggle everywhere is to hinge on the closed shop, which, he says, is the workingman's final citadel of refuge.
