But the great, big salient fact is that
the democrats can rea sonably count upon
the states enumerated above to give them

the so-caIled pivotal states Of New York

The foregoing figures are presented for

may be for Roosevelt. 1t may be for

"A FLATTERINe CONDITION

Washington, April Secretary
Treasurer J. w. Hays, of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union has just
forwarded to headquarters a docu-
ment showing the tremendous ben
efits conferred upon the members of
that organization by the information
al union. Using the total member
ship of the unions reporting increased
scales of wages as a basis for calcu-
lation it reveals that during the past
year the wages of affected members
have increased $69,263.74 per week,
or $3,601, 714.4S for the year. Owing
to the fact that the collection of the
international union ON the old-age
pension assessment is based upon the
percentage system, the international
union is in possession of the exact
earnings of each of its members.
During 1911 the earnings per mem
Der reached the high total of $974.13
for the year. This is probably the
highest average maintained by any
labor organization in the world whose
members are employed in any me-
chanical industry. The Typographi-
cal Union is a high-due organization
and it's prosperity and effectiveness
is largely the result of the fact that
it's members are NOT parsimonious in
maintaining a strong financial con-
dition.

vor of a minimum wage, but was not
entirely satisfied that its regulation
by law would produce results of last
ing benefit to labor. "The minimum
wage law for workmen is enacted by
legislative means, by the same token
it may transpire that a law will be
enacted compelling men to work for
the minimum wage, and when it be-
comes lawful to force men to work
that means slavery. We want a min
