TYPOS Big MEETING
Fargo Union Holds Meeting and
T~ransaots Routine Business
Conditions Good.

Fargo Typographical union No. 1876
met in Assembly hall on Sunday after
noon and transacted routine business.
Communications from the North Da-
kota congressional members in Wash
ington regarding the bill providing for
the use OF power presses in connection
with the printing of currency were
read.
The bill providing for power presses
is known as the Smoot bill and It is
being urged for passage as a measure
OF economy. From a standpoint OF
expert work there Is no press Of any
description that will do the work as
well as the hand presses now used.
The tenor of the communications as
read was to the effect that all Of them
loved the laboring man and would use
their best efforts to aid in any move
ment that would be for his better
ment.
However, in Senator McCumber's
communication there was one state
ment that deserves more than pass
ing notice and that is the one he made
in regard to the low rate of pay re-
ceived by some OF the helpers in this
work. If the senator desires to make
himself solid with the common people
OF this state he could do no better
than to try and see that these help
ers were paid a living wage.

to the effect that business was
generally good, wages were paid
promptly, and there was no trouble in

FLEMING HAS RETURNED
Says Grand Forks Labor Unions Want
Weigh Master and Are Asking
Milk Inspection.

Federal Organizer Fleming of this
city has Just returned from a trip to
Grand Forks where he has been look
ing after the interests Of the press
men, and reports that the unions of
that city are busily engaged in try
ing to secure a weigh master and an
inspector of milks and meats for that
city.
Fargo has secured these two officers
and there Is no question but that they
have been of immense value to the
city. The passing Of loads of fuel
over the city scales is a very good
guarantee Of the correctness o fthe
weight Of the load and an occasional
inspection of the COWS that furnish
the milk for the city has done much
for the health Of the city and has re-
duced infant mortality.
The boys at Grand Forks are a live
ly bunch and it is a pleasure to any
man interested in the betterment of
the public health and morals to see
them thus engaged.

At a well attended meeting of the

Expulsion for knocking, missing two

The object of this club are four in

This club. while composed entirely of
union men does not in any way affect
the Trades and Labor assembly, but
on the contrary will be of great assist

four questions have been confronting
the assembly for some time, and they
will now be relieved OF the hardest

PLAN FOR GLIDDEN
TOUR FOR 1912
sWE R K ~A~A
r"e#
RECEIVED IN FARGO
GIVING INFORMATION ABOUT
eLIpDEN TOUR FOR 1912 WHICH
MAY GO THROUGH FARGO TO
THE WESTERN COAST.

The following letter in regard to the
1919 Glidden tour which may pass
through this city en- route to the Pa
CHG coast has been received:
The matter Of the 1912 Glidden tour
Is just coming up and 1t is probable
that a route from Minneapolis to
Seattle may be suggested. The matter
VIII be considered definitely by the
American Automobile association at
its meeting in Chicago. You realize
the Importance Of a Glidden tour 10
any section of our country from a
business standpoint, as has been prov
en- in the past.
A number of routes have been pro-
posed but we believe that the north
western section will be materially
benefited If the tour should go in
that direction. 1t would tend to open
up h country and would arouse a
great deal Of interest.
We suggest that you Immediately
get into touch with the American Au-
tomobfle associations representative
In your state, who is generally the
president of you state body and i'm
press upon him the d~esirability of
either telegraphing or writing to both
"A. @. Batchelder, chairman Of the
executive committee, and to r. p.
Hooper, president of the A. A. A. at
the Hotel Blackstone, Chicago.
The distance would be about 1880
miles and should be covered in about
eighteen days easily.
You will realize the Importance Of
not letting this matter slip. Find out
from your automobile club who the
president OF the state association is
and get the clubs to start a movement
for the tour. 1t might be worth while
to have your board of trade take some
action. n if everybody boosts yon
may be able to have the national
touring contest in your section next
summer.
You will see that some hustling is
necessary because of the proximity of
the meeting. We would suggest furth-
er that you make your story In the
papers entirely a local one, without
mentioning our names. You may be
able to get some good interviews from
some of your dealers.
