FOR HIGH TAX ON BOOKS
Allied Printing Trades Appeal to
Congress to Adjust Tariff.
HOLD BIG MASS MEETING
Would Stop Publishers Sending
Printed Sheets Abroad To
Be Bound.

mass meeting OF printers. bookbinders
and kindred trades was held at Cooper
Union last night, the object OF which was
to have enacted equitable tariff laws that
will eqllalize the difference paid to labor
in the printing, bookbinding and kindred
industries I'm European countries and the
United States. Resolutions to this ehect
were adopted. The meeting was heid
under the auspices of the Allied Printing
and Bookbinding Trades Association OF
America. John p. Mines presided.
Mr. Mines said it was the purpose or the
trade in general to raise their voice so
loud that it may be heard In the leglsla-
tive halls of Congress and with the hope
that some remedy will be given the trade
unionists Bernard Nolan, Of Pressman's
Union No 81, i'm his address, said:
Labor and labor alone caused the
higher wages, and labor itself Is at fault
for not getting more. We have but one
representative in Congress, Mr.. Manner
who represents us in Brooklyn. We VIII
not go into politics but We are going 10
put every man on record Oh the subject
no matter what his politics may be. One
department store in New York sends
YEARLY $4,000 worth of printed sheets
abroad to be bound. No man should be
allowed to use the name Of labor in con-
necton with politics"
Ex-Congressman william :. Bennett SAID
that he had looked into the Payne tariii
bill and fought for a higher tariff.
They told US that We must nave books
for a higher education SAID he, anu III
the name Of justice and humanity TINS
tariff cannot be made any lower. II Is
wrong to permit an American publisher
10 send his sheets abroad and have them
returned bound. with all expenses for the
same AT cheaper rate than Is charged
mere. We ought to have either pro-
tective tariff or free trade We ask for
fair dealing, and ! nope you win. You
will have TO fight to get IT. Go ana
see your Congressman and tell II To MIN.
Make him listen
The following resolution 10 DC sent 10
Congress was adopted:
RESOLVED, That we request your hon
orable body 10 adjust the tariff by in
creasing the same on all printing. book
binding. etc. imported from Europe oI
any other part Of the world into the
United States by AZ least elualizing the
difference paid 10 labor in the printing
ami bookbnding and kindred industries
in European countries and the United

Although the marlborough Rapid Tran
sit Company reached yesterday an agree
ment with the Manhattan Railway Com
pany by which the latter has consented
to take the certificate for third tracking
the elevated lines. II Is not likely that the
contracts for the dual transit system VIII
be signed on Monday These things nave
come up to cause delay OF perhaps
several days:
First. the marlborough and the Brooh-
Ign Rapid Transit Company have asked
that the city further show good faith IN
carrying out the contracts before signing
them by appropriating the money for its
share Of the construction. II is figured
that the city will have 100000 to put
into the pot. Whether the companies
would bc satisfied with the appropriation
of a part Of that money or would insist
upon its all being appropriated at this
time was not clear yesterday. However.
il was said that the public Service Com
mission would have 10 make formal
requisition upon the Board Of Estimate

has promised TO pay to the Manhattan

said last night that he had no informa-
ton as 10 the exact Arrangement under
which the money Was To ne paid. but ne
expected 10 have a conference with Pres
idcnt Shonts Of the marlborough on the
subject to-day He intimated strongly
that he would not stand for any part OF
the 5000 coming out Of the city. either
directly or indirectly. II he sticks 10 this
attitude there may be some delay untli
the matter is Strengthened out
Borough President McAneny figured
that about $500 Of the amount would

Was such d small matter. In view of the
fact that the Manhattan company had
consented TO take the certificates. that II
should not cause any great amount OF d!>-
