| It is the dinner of this organiza-
ton to which reference was made in a
previous chaIter, where there were
about 500 present, exclusive of 800
ladies in the balcony boxes, the plates
! costing $40 each: the speakers were
Secretary of War Baker. Secretary of

| The association, thru its Labor Blu
reau, H. N. Kellogg. chairman, settles
many important labor problems and
| disputes During the year. there were
four arbitration meetings at which
ftwenty-three cases were considered.
Nearly every important controversy
between the Typographical union, the
Stereotypers' union and the Press
mems union is adjusted by arbitration
if Cancellation or other peaceful means
have failed.
Manager Palmer recently made this
concise and comprehensive statement
covering the purpose, scope and ac-

"It was the purpose Of the founders of
| the American Newspaper Publishers associ-
not only act as clearing house of informa-

make possible a concert of action among

the profession. and to create a code of
ethics. Practically every worthwhile move

clusion.v
The organization is really the only
one in existence organized to consider
the matter of disagreement between
the newspaper publishers and those
employed by them. Mr.. Kellogg's re-
port showed that during the year the
Typographical union had spent $4.6s4
for strikes; the pressmen, $2.644; the
stereotypers spent nothing for strikes;
the photo engravers spent $45,277 for
strikes.
The committee furnishes members
approved forms for agreements and
contracts.
On one afternoon during the three
days session of>the association, ac-
cording to the annual custom, a recess
was taken and the executives of the
