in their payrolls-the workers pay
roll (the bills they have to meet) has
likewise gone up, and the latter have
no opportunity to pass on the added
burden, but must meet it the best they
can alone.
Existing scales in most instances
were considered fair when negotiated,
but the increased cost Of living has so
decreased the purchasing power of
dollar that readjustments are posi-
lively necessary il our members are to
properly support themselves and fami-
lies
Your president is pleased to report
that in two instances at least low
scales in this conference district have
been raised to figure that is hoped
to be the beginning of an equalization
of wages in this competitive district.
The two unions referred to are Canon
City and La Junta-Rocky Ford.
Since the organization of this con-
ference seven new unions have been
organized in this jurisdiction, as fol-
lows.
Wyoming-Rock Springs, Casper
and Laramie.
Colorado-Boulder and La Junta-
Rocky Ford.
New Mcxico-Raton and Silver CITY,
Deming.
One new union outside of our jur-
isdiction has been furnished most of
its printers from this conference, viz:
Bridgeport Alliance -Scottsbluff, Neb.
There are now twenty-three locals
chartered by the International Typo
graphical Union in this conference dis
trict. Not all are affiliated here. and
renewed efforts should be put forth
the coming year to enlist their be-
coming a part of this district move
ment. The cost is small; the benefits
many.
The employment bureau of this or
ganization has proved of great value
to International Typographical Union
ployers.
In the smaller locals there is sell
dom an extra man-they have n situa-
tion or nothing. no extra work being
available. A central agency where
competent union help may be obtained
is n great convenience to the union in
fulfilling the provisions of its con-
tract. and to the employer by enabling
him to secure help when needed on
short notice.
The bureau is also of value to the
larger unions in that it assists in plac-
ing the surplus of printers that is al
ways attracted to big cities.
Again, the employment system has
enabled the conference to make the
country towns of this jurisdiction solid
cight-hour towns, ms well as bringing
the wages paid up to that received in
union localities.
We have placed union printers in
these positions until there is scarcely
n county seat town in the three states
constituting this district that has not
one or more card men employed.
The tendency to place so-called
printing courses in public schools is
growing. and should be given consider
ntion by all locals. 1t appears to be n
popular educational fad. II is some
times hard to oppose it, but it can be
controlled in measure. With compe-

Hoover Tells How New York May
Meet Food Crisis.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Ten tons
OF Pacific Coast smelts were dumped
onto the market here today in con-
tinued attempt to force down the
high price OF food. They were sent
into the stores in Manhattan and the
Bronx, where they began vieing with
the aristocratic Atlantic kind. The
Western fish are selling at six cents
a pound and the Atlantic's offspring
are trying to bring 16 cents for the
same sixteen ounces. Tomorrow the
mayor's food commission is going to
offer a ton or so of hominy and
500 900 pounds of Brazilian beans.
Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the
commission for relief in Belgium, to-
day outlined a plan of feeding New
York's poor. He declared stores
should be established throug which
food, purchased at low prices In huge
quantities, may be distributed to per
sons holding tickets.
