The various special meetings dur
ing the newspaper scale negotiations
brought out large number of old
timers not often noticed at regular ses-
sions. Attendance records were all
smashed at the meetings the past
week.
Among the callers at The Bulletin
office this week was W. F. Gossell,
member of Butte. Mont, Topographic
cal Union. Mr.. Gossell is an employe
/ of the Mckee Printing Company,
which plant was practically destroyed
| by fire three weeks ago, entailing
/ loss of about $4,000. complete
new plant is now on the way and the
company will resume operations as
soon as same is installed. Mr.. Cos
sell stated the Butte newspaper scale
/ expires May 81 and No. l26 expects
| to substantially increase the existing
contract figures.

While there are some six or seven
states between d. T. u. No. 40 and
Camp Greene, y. c., yet this distance
seems negligible. for the space has
been closed up by means of letters
received from the boys who have put
FIVE of the stars into our service flag,
namely. Adair, Cuthbertson, Gilmore,
Mccarthy and Hennen. From the lat
ter the Mcclure chapel has received
a letter containing thanks for
Smokes" asking to be remembered
boys are now shooting-instead of the
hot slug-the cold, round variety.
The Anaconda (Mont.) Standard,
recently burned, was forced to utilize
the plant of the Butte Daily Post. New
equipment has arrived and once more
the paper is issued from Anaconda.
Five model lSs, three model IS and
one model Il constitute the battery
of linotypes. Brass and steel is much
in evidence in the composing room
and it is claimed the paper is housed
in the best ventilated plant in the
state.
Charles A. Nichols, formerly of
Denver, writes from Butte to the Salt
Lake Labor News that printing in
the copper towns is fine and that there
are several machine sits on the hook.
He says that there are two sits open
on the Miner, and one or two in the
other shops Charles is working on
the Anaconda Standard.
Secretary Frank c. Birdsall has had
to hoist the S. o. S. signal. Calls for
printers from city as we'll as outside
offices find no takers. Work is good,
men scarce.
S. s. Summers of the Kistler chapel
has developed smile like unto a
printer who has just received creden-
tials to an I. T. U. convention. Rea-
son therefore: Mrs. Summers and
the children have returned to their
home at 4477 Yates street after an
extended visit in Fort Worth, Texas.
