places il will not be possible to find
such a qualified secretary, able to give
his or her services without pay.
In smaller cities there may be only
two agencies to which the Section can
turn for such a secretary One Of
these is likely to be a health and nurs-
ing agency, employing trained nurse
whose advice will be invaluable on the
health side. The other will usually be
an agency engaged in work with fami-

action was taken other than to re-
fer the matter to the local unions re-
presented twenty-five in number.
The question of CLOSER affiliation
with the other printing trades was
discussed and referred to the joint
Conference.
The bill to establish State print
ing plant was discussed at length
and endorsed by the Conference. This
plant is to do all state printing in
GLIDING school text books, and all
county printing to be done within the
counties when possible.
A proposition to favor the abolition
of International Typographical Union
Conventions was discussed but no def
mite action taken. The plan contem-
plates organization by districts and
representation on an international
board through organizers elected by
the districts.
The following officers were elected

of tolerance and good-fellowship pre-
vailing throughout the meeting. No
definite action was or could be taken
before reference of the plans to the
unions represented and to sister
unions throughout the jurisdiction,
which was decided upon.
All delegates felt that united action
would rebound to the benefit of all.
A resolution formulating get-to-
gether plan was debated and tabled,
to be thoroughly discussed and taken
up by the next conference to be held
in Portland in 1918.
The legislative bill to be presented
to the Washington Legislature pro-
viding for the establishment of a
state printing plant, wherein all state
printing, including school text books
be printed, also, that all county print
ing be done within the counties where
possible, was endorsed.
The conference also approved a
resolution urging all printing craft
unions throughout the country to
hold joint meetings with view of
effecting a single organization; the
appointment of a joint organizer, to
replace five present conflicting organ
izers, was endorsed; defence fund
to be created by a per capita tax on
the members was recommended.
The Conference then elected the fol-
lowing officers:
President, A. M. Fallon, Seattle
Photo-E ngravers' Union.
e-President, Chas. H. Buckley,
Seattle Bookbinders Union.
Secretary Treasurer, Percy H. Blak-
Yer, Seattle Sterotypers Union.
Additional members Executive
Board, Philo Howard, Seattle Typo
graphical Union, G. G. Lawson, Seat
tie Mailers Union; Chas Francke,
Walla Walla, Pressmens' Union.
This is the first concrete effort to
bring about unity of action of the
five printing trades unions in many
years and it is to be hoped that it
will be crystalized into uniform laws,
adding strength to the already strong
trades. They have too long been
working at cross purposes.
The next Conference will be held
