down the lid. a visit TO President VIII

accompanied by women and children who
escaped the Ludlow massacre, was the
most important feature of the past week.
Judge Lindsey and his party told facts
OF the distress under which Colorado is
laboring without hope OF relief from
state authorities, and urged that a ma

to settle the trouble and restore perma-

is seriously considering taking action
along these lines.

Washington failed to leave any favorable

suffrage in the East, where the people
were surprised that any set of women in
Colorado could be found to defend those
guilty of the Ludlow slaughter.

Sketch of |. T. u. President

AIarsden G. Scott of New York, this
week elected president of the Interna-
tional typographical Union without op-
position, promises to prove a worthy
successor to James NJ Lynch. now COM
missioner of labor for New York state.
during whose administration such re-
markable progress was made by the
printers. and will continue the policies
that have placed the International Typo
graphical Union at the very forefront
of the labor movement
Mr. Scott was born in Athens, Pa or
November S. 1864; Joined Elmira Typo
graphical Union in 1854; a member OF
Syracuse Union from 1854 to 1889, when
he left for the West and was a charter
member of Anaconda Union; joined big
Six" in 1890; served as president in
1901 and 1902, during which time the
Sun was reclaimed and the job scale
raised Sl.50 week; served as trustee
for three years: member of book and
job scale committee that secured second
increase of Sl.50 week; twice counsel
of union on newspaper scales, the men
securing advantages on both occasions
in addition to an increase of 81 a week
for the third time elected president of
No. @.
This necessarily brief record proves
that Mr.. Scott is man of action. To
him the affairs of the union are affairs
of business which must be carefully
watched and promptly attended to if we
are to succeed. Mr.. Scott will do his
utmost to advance the interests of the
organization which has claimed so much
of his time and energy. and have in turn
produced such splendid results for union
men
