EIGHT HOUR DAY

The first demand of Labor Un-i ions for an eight hour working day was made at g. convention held in Ba1timore forty years ago today. August 21, 1866. This congress also marked the first attempt to organize a, national federation of the various trade unions, national and international. then existing in the United States and Canada One hundred delegates were present, re- presenting about sixty organiza,- tions
 The demand for the edght-hour day was but an incident in the ses- sions of the congress. but at sue ceeding gatherings 1t assumed great importance, and became the leading plank of Organized Labor's Platform. The second convent on was held i'm Chicago in 1867. The National Labor Union, after meet ings in Boston, Philadelphia and Columbus, went out of existence in 1874. but at an industrial congress held at Rochester in that year the movement was revived under other names. Several organizations di-S vided the allegiance of Organized Labor, but in 1881 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the Uniked States and Canada, was launched, and out of this has grown the powerful Amer ican Federation of Labor.

INCREASED WAGES.

In 1905, 1906, and 1907 the In- ternationaI Typographical Union successfully waged a campaign for the eight-hour day in the book and job offices throughout the United States and Canada. This great struggle, which ended in a complete victory for the orr ganization, was financed eDolu- siveIy by the members of the In- teqnationaI Union who cheerful Iy and promptly paid the assess ments necessary to the conduct of the strike. During the pend- ency of the campaign and with the universal establishment Of the eight-hour day in the printing trade, attention was directed more closely to the increasing of scales. Great progress has been made in this direction. Using as a basis the old age pension as- sessment, which is paid at the rate of one-haIf of 1 per cent on the earnings of all members, the total earnings of the members of the InternationaI TypogFaphfcaI Union from June 1, 1908 to May S1, 1918, are found to be As fol- lows:
 EARNINGS OF MEMBERS Yr. edg. May 31, 1910 s45,eO2 ,944 Yr. edg. May 31, 1909 $40, ,29S, 7SS

ARBITRATION.

A list of the Interna- tional Typographical Un- ion beneficial features would not be complete if it did not include reference to our arbitration policy and it's success. Three agreements covering more than twelve years have been effective, and during this period we have made continual advancement as to hours, wages and con ditions. In 95 per cent of the cases coming before the arbitration boards our members have secured betterments. While the arbitration agreement has been with the American Newspaper Publishers As sociation, this policy has permeated all of our deal ings with employers, and since the eight-hour strike we have not had serious difficulty in the newspa- per or book and job field. An era of industrial peace almost, if not entirely, un- precedented in industrial annals has been ours un- der the arbitration agree ment.
 The agreement was last renewed to be effective for five years from May 1 1912, and we anticipate an additional period of pleas ant and profitable Fela- tions with the members of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, and resultant. good effect in our relations with our other employers.
 This arbitration agree ment with the newspaper publishers has been SC sat ls.factory that many prom inent officials and mem bers of the United Ty- pothetae@ of America favor a similar agreement to ap- ply in book and job print ing establishments, and if is probable that the coming ing convention of the Ty- pothetae will consider se- riously, the subject. The Fypothetae includes in it's m Tnbership proprietors of book and job shops in all States of the Union and an agreement with them would mean the establish ment of relations which would make labor disturb ances in this branch Of the trade impossible.

THE INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION BENEFICIAL FEATURES.

It has been the policy of the International Typo graphical Union to follow Tn all advance movements and achievements the printers have been in the lead. The progressveness of the organization clearly demon straed in the establishment of the Union Printers Home at Colorado Springs Colo. When the institution ed in 1892 the conservative trade unonists viewed project with practeability W years the Home stands today the best of it's kind in the world grand monument to great organization it's mis- sion established and it's work constantly broadening. Recognizing that aged and ineapacitaed members unable, because of family ties to avail themselves comforts Home International Typograph- Union decided another advanced step and estab lshed age pension fund This movement orignat- ing the officers reports, given life at the
 ton of 19o5 which adopted resolution providing for the appointment of committee of three to report o the next session plan system of pension and relief for aged and sick members
 At the 1906 convention the committee reported favor able the resolution and the old pension adopt ed thereby relieving many of our. aged members

THE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU

Pursuant to resolution adopt ed at flae Cleveland convention, r an ennp1oyxnents bureau was open ed at Headquarters on January 1, 1g13s and it has since been in operation The objects of it are;
 1-ss To provide men from a To- caliEy where business is dull for a 5uFisdict5on where the number Is unequal to the demand.
 a. To advise members seek ing a change in locality where employment is most likely to beS had.

 of the membership in every pos sfble way and widen the scope Of the International Union-
 All bureaus of this character, regardless of how maintained, have rules and regulations for the employer seeking help and the applicant who Is looking for a situation. The blanks used by the International Union contain no personal questions beyond age and experience and are as sim pie as they can be made. Amy member desiring to register with the bureau is required to file his application on the form proyid- ed for that purpose and to state the class of work desired, the scale for which he will work and the locality in which he prefers employment As an evidence of good faith and to prevent fI1vo- lous registration, each applicant is required te pay $1-OO when he registers for a situation and an additional $1.OO when he accepts work in situation obtained : through the bureau The rev enue thus derived is applied on the expenses of maintaining the bureau

TECHNICAL EDUCATION

The International Typographi- cal Union has persiStent1y and steadfast1y set its face against specializing in our trade, assert ing as a doctrine the half -educat- ed artisan is tho more easily made the victim of low wages ' and into1egable conditions. So that the printers Of the coun= try, denied that right when ap- prentices, might have opportun- ity to perfect themselves in the tional Typographical Union cre- ated a commission on technical education, with headquarters at, the Inland Printer office in Chi ca&O. The members of the commission are A. H. McQuiIkin, editor Of the Inland Printer, chairman; William B. Prescott. former president of the Interna- tiona1 Typographical Union, secretary; Robert E. Darnaby,
 manager of the HoIIenbeck Press, Indianapolis, Ind, and James M. Duncan, ex-officio, president Of the International Typographical Union.

 UNION SHOWS
 LARGE GAINS

Bridgeport Typographical Union, No. 252, stands out prominently among the labor unions who will combine in the big celebration held in this city on Labor Day. Founded January S1, 1888, it has made rapid strides both in membership as well as the benefits it has secured for its members and the fraternity as a body. But nine charter members affixed their sigma lures to the document, of incorporation under the presidency of O. E.. Ray mond it has now 1o2 members and during the past three years has gained over 100 per cent and has large fund in the local treasury
 Among its list of presidents follow ing First President Raymond appear consecutiveIy o. H. Highland. Thomas Lennon, P. W. Pt11ver. M. J. Nolan, James s. Golden, John w. Sheehan, H R Kelt R. T. Cherry. James A Coates, w. H. Bixby, and the present chief executive, Edward Bennetto-
 Among the roster of members at 2 the present time two women are to be found, both residing in this city. Miss Nellie Cannon and Miss North rop. There are also several members who securing their first union papers in England. have later become af- filiated with the local body.
 Among the accomplishments of the local may be ctted the securing of the nine-hour day in 1898 and the eight hour day in 1906. Through the un- tiring efforts of it's members the Bridgeport Farmer the first paper to recognize union labor and it's demands Was unioaidzed in 1903, closely follow ed by the Bridgeport Sunday Herald, and the ensuing year by the Bridge port Evening Standard.
 Its delegates have been sent to all the large conventions, notably the In- ternational conventions at Hot Springs, Ark, St. Louis. Mo, Minneapolis, Afinn:, Boston Cleveland, Providence, and Toronto, Canada.
 Two members of the order have ibeen admitted to the Printers Home, at Colorado Springs, which has re- ceived substantial support from this local. They are Edward McGufre Cdeceased) and Fritz O. Peterson. a member of the Farmer chapel.

No wage earner is doing his full duty if he fails to identify his own interests with those of his fellow Vvorkmen. The obvious way to make common cause with them is to join a trade union, and thus secure a position from which to strengthen organized labor and influence it for the better.

RN TRADE UNION CAN ACCOMPLISH
MORTUARY BENEFIT.

On January 1, 1912, the Interna- tionaI Typographical Union began paying a mortuary benefit graduated according to the continuous active membership of the deceased. Ex- perience during. the first year the law was in effect demonstrated that the benefit could be slightly increased and the law was amended at the Nash vile convention in 1913. From it's in auguration the graduated benefit has proven success and added to the strength of the organization. During the past fiscal year the expenditures for nortuary benefits almost equaled those for the old age pension. All legal claims have been promptly met and where no2 complicating circum- stances arose the check for each ben eft was issued on the day on which the application therefor was received at headquarters. The simplicity of the plan enables the quick handling of all claims and its pronlptness in paying mortuary, benefits, as well as all others, has established for the In ternational Autographed Union a financial standing with. the general public not enjoyed by any other trade union in America.
 | During the twelve months ending May 31, 1914, 713 mortuary benefits were paid, 26 more than in the pre- vious year. This record exceeds all 1 former ones. These benefits aggre- bgated $255, 5,534.21. an average of $35s.39. This total includes $1,139.14 unclaimed benefits on May 31, 1913, claimed and paid in the fiscal veal. Since January 1, 1912. benefits to the number of 1493, amounting to s522- 54o.75, have been paid, the average benefit for the entire period the law has been in operation being $349.99. The average continuous mem bership of the 713 members for whom benefits were paid was 18.3. The receipts and disbursements of the fund from June T, 1913, to May 31, 1914, follow:
