Union No. 376 arranged very en-
joyable entertainment Sunday after
noon which was attended by the men,
bers, employers and others connected
with the various printing establish
ments Of Minot and their ladies.
At 2:30 o'clock, banquet was
served at the Waverly dining room.
Mine Host Edw. Ehr serving one of
his delectable chicken dinners. The
tables were decorated with vases Of
carnations and roses.
At the conclusion of the banquet,
Warren Jones, president Of the Minot
Typographical Union acted as toast
master and called on a number for
short addresses. G. D. Colcord, of
the Ward County Independent, gave
a number of "reminiscences covering Il
period OF II years as a Minot pub
Usher. Hal S. Davies, publisher of
the Minot Daily News congratulated
the Minot printers on the pleasant af-
fair they had arranged and hoped it
was but the beginning Of other SINH
lar affairs, given by either the Minot
Typographical Union, or the employ
ers. VIM. G.. Davis, foreman of the
News, red very we'll prepared paper,
covering the aims of the Topographic
cal Union, showing that the organiza-
ton was not formed merely for the
purpose Of adjusting the wage scale,
but to benefit the members in many
other ways. The International Typo
graphical Union has been 1nstru-
mental in securing better working
conditions for it's members, adding
much to the life expectancy Of its
members. MIR. Davis stated that
while the International Typographical
Union is not especially an insurance
organization, yet so carefully has its
business been conducted that there is
now a mortuary benefit ranging from
$75 for a membership Of one year, to
$400 for 5-year membership and up
to $500 for membership of Is years.
Mr.. Davis spoke of the Printers
Home at Colorado Springs, which has
done so much to restore members of
the Union to health.
The assemblage then went to the,
Strand Theatre which was kindly do
mated by P, w. Myers and Dick
Baasen for the afternoon, where u
thirty minute reel was shown, the
scene being centered around the mag
nificent Printers Home at Colorado
Springs. A young man about to-
marry discovered that he had con-
tracted tuberculosis. There was the
sad parting, perhaps forever, and
the entrance of the patient into the
home. He was nursed back to health
by the most modern methods and was
finally reunited with his sweetheart
who surprised him by meeting him at:
the gateway of the Home. There was
the eternal triangle where the nurse
falls in love with the printer, which
is not such an uncommon thing, but,
he remained true to his first love.
The Home at Colorado Springs rep
resents an expenditure Of $2,000,0OO,
and is magnificent in all of it's ap-
pointments.
Sgnor Petrucci's orchestra played
shown and the musicians received
much applause.
A. p. Blonde, foreman of the lnde
pendent, sang two numbers,> "When
Tomorrow Brings Thot of Yester-
day" and "When Thou Art Nigh" Mr.
Blondes voice was never in better
form and the solos proved most en-
joyabe and appropriate. He was ac-
companed On the piano by Mrs. Jas. R
Falconer, Mr.. Petrucci playing u
violin obligato.
The entire affair was very carefully
arranged and the afternoon proved to
be most delightful for all who attend
