cred at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday
for the second day OF their thirtieth
annual meeting they all showed a strong
inclination To- forget the chief ki'joy In
their lives just now. that is the price OF
white paper. and to turn to the Alto

wage demands. for In he last twelve
months there have been only four small
newspaper strikes in the whole country
and the relations OF printers unions and
proprietors are most cordial.

printers unions were on hand to extend
