STERLING is now the home of a new
trades union, a branch Of one of the
foremost labor organizations in the
world, namely the International Typo

erty bond, and two days following
working contracts were signed by va
rious offices thruout the jurisdiction.
Thus union printing can now be Sc
cured in Sterling.
"The organization was perfected
thru the assistance of Frank J. Pulver
of Denver. Mr.. Pulver is one of the
old-time printers, and is known to al
most every member of the trade and
many allied trades thruout the entire
Rocky Mountain district AS an or
ganizer his work is along conservative
lines, ever watchful over the interests
of the men engaged in the work, yet
making himself welcome in the Of
fices of the employer and manager.
"The Typographical Union ranks
high among the trades organizations,
a position it has held for many years.
Its membership runs into several thou
sands; il is differed by men of high
caliber; it maintains one Of the most
handsome homes for old and INDECENT
members in the country, and its rela-
tions with employers generally is most
harmonious. There is seldom any Sc
rious trouble between employer and
the printers union, and when differ
ences do arise the machinery of the
union is such that there is smooth
operation to the end that a satisfac-
tory adjustment is secured"
