Need Is Seen For
1b-Page zajedniccar
Continued From Page y

I recall very clearly that
there were serious motions
introduced to reduce the "a
jedniear from a weekly to
monthly publication, and al
so motions to reduce the
number of pages, if the Of
ficial Organ were to con
tinue as a weekly publica'
ton.
History Made On Coast
However, common sense
prevailed among the 1887
Convention delegates, and as
a result, not only was the idea
rejected for reducing the
Zajednicar to a monthly pub
lication and reducing the
number of its pages from ter
to less, but, in fact, the Ia
jednicar was enlarged tt
twelve pages and remained 6
weekly publication with eight
pages in Croatian, and foul
pages in English.
So, from 1888. to the
Eighth Convention which
was held in Los Angeles,
our Official Organ was
published ON eight pages in
Croatian, and four pages
in English. At that conven-
ton, a motion was carried
by a huge majority divid-
ing the Zajednicar six-and-
six, that is, that six pages
appear in Croatian, and six
in English.
Leafing through the pages
of Minutes Of past conven
tions. we see with striking
regularity that any action OF
attempt to reduce the Officia
Organ fell by the wayside
and that the idea of the en-
largement and editing of the
Official Organ in keeping
with contemporary times al
ways won, 49, IS !.
$4,000 Copies Weekly
Today, our Official Orgar
is published in close to 62,OO(
copies, every week; i;,, ,,l,sr
While twenty years ago
the Zaj jednicar was printed ir
$4,000 copies at a cost of al
most $4,000, today, t h {
printing of $4,000 copies costs
in excess of $114,0OO annual
ly.. This tremendous sum Ii
spent out of the administra
ton fund, because for ovel
twenty years we do not have
a separate fund for the Off
cial Organ.
This year, we had an ex-
animation of the books and
operation of the entire or
ganization by state exami-
ners, and they established
that we are spending 40
cents of every dollar re-
ceived for administration
expenses, for the printing
of our Official Organ.
In conversation with them
we were told that they viii
recommend that we Fine
ways to reduce the cost o.
the Official Organ.
We, on the otl.er hand, de
scribed to them the value
of the Zajednicar to the ex
istence and life of the Union
and assured them that mo-
only will we be unable to re
duce the costs of the Zajed
nicar, but that those costs
will actually be increased, fol
a need is felt for enlargins
the Zajednicar from twelv'
to sixteen pages.
