representing the miners and another
representing the Southwestern Coal
Operators association patched up the

line Of endeayor so far is an old col

The Indiana state conference Of
typographical unions will be held In

Is unions viii be represented by more
than so delegates. An interesting fea-
ture VIII be an illustrated address by
". B. Prescott. Of Chicago, and F. J.
Trezise, Of San Francisco Mr. Trezlse
IS chief instructor Of the international
ton and Mr.. Prescott also is a member
OF the commission The commission
conducts a correspondence school TO
teach printing. and in the three. years
Of its existence more than $500 students
and journeymen printers have obtained
instruction.
The International typographical
union is the father of the idea
and it is largely due to its efforts that
supplemental education for student
printers has progressed so far
Many Of the older printers know Mr..
Prescott He was president of the In
ternational in the early nineties, when
the Mergenthaler linotype was endeav-
oring to gain a fOOthOld in the print
ing world. The old time hand men"
viewed with alarm the iron man." as
the new tangled machines were called,
and believed that It would only be a
matter Of a short time when 1t would
replace hand typesetters and throw
thousands out OF work. Mr. Prescott
was quick to see the advantage Of the
throwing men out Of work 1t would
provide employment for more, and his
prediction is borne out by the records
Of the International, which show
larger membership than ever in its
history.

LIGHTNING STRIKES CASs LAKE
Renders Mrs. Surface Unconscious for
Period of Twenty Minutes.

Cass Lake, Mimi, July 1.-The
residence occupied by Martin Surface,
south of the viaduct, was struck by
lightning last night, the bolt tearing
off some plaster in one of the rooms
in which Mrs. Surface was sitting
who received a shock which rendered
her unconscious for nearly twenty
minutes. One of the freaks of the
Bolt was the demolishing of one of
the rafters which was splintered into
very small pieces without catching
atire. The bolt also seemed to encircle
one of the windows before finally go
ing out of the house through a front
doorsleading onto porch. The Sur
face family seem to have had more
than their share of visits from "ths
elements, their home on two prev
ious occasions within the last four
years having been almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire.
