fore the voting began. Otto Thum is a

At the last regular monthly meeting
OF New York Typographical Union No.
6, an appeal was heard and decided, on
demand of forty-two printers who were
dropped from the force OF the Sun to
make room for the older men of the
Press on the recent merger OF the two
newspapers. The executive committee of
the union last week held that the Press
still existed as part of the Sun, and that
both Sun and Press printers must be
treated as if working for one paper, and
if there were too many printers for the
work at hand. then the younger printers
in point OF service must be dropped. BY
this action forty-two printers who We're
part of the Sun chapel at the time of
the merger were found to be younger In
point of service and were dropped. At
the meeting of the union the action OF
its executive committee was sustained.
An appeal may be taken to the interna.
tional Officers, and if the action OF the
local is there sustained an appeal will
probably be. carried to the international
v-bf1h NJ Ra1+iupra
