with a united front. This is not
the time for internal strife or
pickering. Radical legislation
must be avoided and diplomacy
and judgment must be used in
meeting new conditions. Let us
be sure we are right and then go
ahead. This policy will leave the
international union stronger and
better than ever when "grim-vis-
aged war hath smoothed his
wrinkled brow"
The finances OF the Information
al Typographical Union are in a
healthy condition, its members
are generally employed and it is
at peace with all but a few em-
ployers, concludes the report of
Secretary Hays. An arbitration
agreement has just been signed
with the closed shop division of
the United Typothetae and Frank
lin Clubs OF America which should
greatly strengthen the organiza-
ton in the book and job branch
of the trade. l congratulate the
membership upon this condition
of affairs which has come from
hard and we'll directed work.

union is an asset OF which every

Indianapolis. This is business proposition, pure
and simple, and while time and patience may be
required to obtain the full cooperation OF sub
ordinate unions and all employers, we must accept
this responsibility and overcome any obstacles
which may encounter.
That provision in the pension law which permits
member with but ten years standing to be placed
the pension roll the age of seventy should be
repealed. When this amendment adopted
there justification for the law. That
justification has ceased to exist and it is fair
that those OF our members who join the union at
the age OF twenty-one or thereabouts should be as
sessed to pay pensions to members who JOIN at the
age OF hfty-hve or later. We may well realize
the fact that il to continue this extremely
liberal Interpretation of our pension law must
pay for it by an increased assessment
There is considerable satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that our mortuary fund is sound founda
ton under normal conditions. The members OF
this union must realize, however, that shall be
compelled to meet abnormal conditions during the
coming year at least With more than five hundred
members OF our Canadian unions under arms
and with the enrolment of thousands of our mem
bers in service under the Stars and Stripes
this fund may be drawn upon heavily during the
coming twelve months.
In concluding his report President Scott SAYS:
In year which has been crowded with events
by far grave to be discussed here the nterna-
tional union has made considerable progress.
Our gross earnings show an increase of nearly
four million dollars and expenditures for
strikes have been reduced to minimum.
BY authority of the Baltimore convention the
arbitration agreement between this union and the
American Newspaper Publishers association has
been renewed for five years.
By authority of a vote of the membership an
arbitration agreement has been entered into be
tween this union and the closed shop division of
the United Typothetae and Franklin Clubs OF
America.
Definite plans for permanent system of instruc-
ton for apprentices have been practically COM
peted.
The capacity of the Home at Colorado Springs
has been increased materially by the completion
of the main building extension.
The international union thru the executive
council, has purchased $4,000 of the Liberty Loan
bonds, and scores of subordinate unions also
have subscribed to this loan.
