TYPOGRAPHICAL CXTON NOW IV
CONVENTION—FAlXI\<i Ol'T
[ WITH THE A. F. OF L.
m
(A»ociai*4 Press Dispatch.)
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Aug.
A prosperous organization with its
••house In order" and ready to ex-
pand the work it already has started
In connection with the war activities
of its members, was pictured by Mars-
dep C,. Scott of New York, president
of the International Typographical
Union, in the address with which he
opened here to-day the sixty-third
annual convention of the organization.
He said that nearly 600 members of
the union had enlisted with the Cana-
dian forces, that more than 400 al-
ready are in the army or navy of the
United States and that "thousands of
ethers will follow the Stars and
Etripes in the world's war."
Forty-two Canadian members of the
organization have been • killed in
France and $12,225 has been paid to
their widows or dependents. Mr.
6cott added. He announced that the
"two representative organizations of
employers in the printing Industry—
the American Newspaper Publishers'
Association and the lTnited Typothe-
tae and Franklin Clubs of America—
have recommended that all Journey-
men and apprentices be reinstated in
their positions when they return from
the war."
President Scott said that through
Its executive council the International
union had subscribed for $50,000 of
the Liberty Loan bonds and that sub-
scriptions for an additional $57,950
had been reported by subordinate
Unions.
He emphasized the fact that of
OUR BARGAINS

Watches, Jewelry, Suit Cases.

$66,652,431 earned by members of the
Onion in the fiscal year fending May
II. only $4,684 had been expended by
th- International Cnion because of
strikes or lockouts. He said the gross
earnings of union printers had in-
creased $3,940,626 in that period, the
average earnings a member being
$1,086,43, an Increase of $45.25 as
compared with the preceding twelve
months.
President Scott also announced the
completion of an arbitration agree-
ment between the International union
und the "closed shop division of the
United Typothetae and Franklin Clubs
of America, effective Aug. 4. 1917, to
Dec. 31. 1926." Arbitration contracts,
he said, tjave been issued to 191
newspaper Publishers' Association, ef-
fective May 1. 1917. to May 1, 1S22.
The total payments to 1R09 old
age pensioners for the fiscal year
were given as $351,505. Mortuary
benefits totalled $298,476. The Cnion
Printers Home in this city cost $123,-
146 to maintain and its capacity was
increased accomodations being pro-
vided for 250 residents. The twenty-
fifth anniversary of the home is to
be celebrated Wednesday.
Opposition to a constitutional
amendment proposed by Chicago
Typographical Union No. 16, which
promises to cause sharp debate in the
convention was expressed by Mr.
Scott. He said it was "conceived in
malice" and "intended to reflect dis-
credit" on the officers of the interna-
tional body. It would limit the
powers of the general officers and
subordinate unions in making con-
tracts and compel a referendum on
agreements with national associations
of employers.
The address also indicated that re-
lations of the union with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor were not al-
together happy because, he declared,
the "obligations which the officers
and subordinate organizations of the
A. F. of L. owe to this International
Union have been disregarded in many
instances." He added:
"The laws of the American Federa-
tion of I«abor have been grossly vio-
lated repeatedly, and there Is no as-
surance that any official attempt will
be made to prevent a repetition of
these illegal acts. Unless we are pre
pared to accept the consequences of
these illegal acts, we must repudiate
them promptly and without reserva-
tion."

Pleasant Tacky Party.
One of the merriest events of the
season was the tacky party enjoyed on
Tuesday night by a big crowd of young
people at the J. B. Blair home. The
costuminR showed much real thought
and planning, and every costume was
unique in some way.
The contest between the individuals
as to the best costume was so close
that the commil'.ee finall/ decided by
couples, Miss Lucile Varnell and Bris-
coe Nixon receiving the great big stick
of red striped peppermint candy. Miss
Varnell's hat was testified to being
100 years old. It was a small affair,
and had the genuine sugar loaf crown
of the styles of the early days of this
country. Her bodice was of the tight,
long style of the '60s, with full skirt.
Mr. Nixon wore high boots, white
linen trousers, green cutaway frock
coat, brown derby het (very evidently
built for a head several sizes smaller),
and eye glasses as big as the hat was
small, and furnished with dainty bow
of red ribbon to assist in their manip-
ulation. Miss Minnie Harkins was the
far-famed Maggie, who is striving so
hard to bring up father—coiffure and
all. Wilbur Gay wore a derby of as
generous dimensions as Mr. Nixon's
fell short, a suit whose patches would
have generously repaired the costume
of any Weary Willie who Is on the
pad, and a pair of green "galluses"
that for width would have well sup-
plied three "rubes." Otis Roberts rep-
resented a double man, his trousers
being one side white and on the other
black, with the same strange mix-up
in shoes and hose. His hair was most
artlsically oiled and curled about his
forehead. A big pair of goggles and
makeup lines about the face proved a

The dance given at the Flks hall
Tuesday evening to honor the Bell
county soldier boys and as a benefit
for the soldiers already at the front
was a success In every respect.
There were a number of the P."11
county boys on furlough from I,eon
Springs and also several of these
hoys from other points lu tho state
present.

in hunting In thi> national colors, with
numbers of "Old Olory" and pretty
pot plants.

well rendered by the orchestra.

Ma^or and Mrs. llasscl Entertain.
Mayor and Mrs. Neal liassel enter-
tained in the early week with a most
pleasant dance given a number of
their married friends.
The crowd was a patriotic one as
well as a merry one and the strains
of "If You Don't Like Your Uncle
Sammy," and other patriotic airs
rang out sweetly and enthusiastically
several times during the dance pro-
gram. Delicious fruit punch and
sandwiches were served during the
evening.
A letter from "In France" has
been received by the D. J. Lal'relle
family, forwarded from Austin by
Mrs. Thomas Fletcher, sister of Drury
La Prelle, the writer thereof.
Word from the boys at the front
does not come with regularity and
likewise the stream of letters from
home do not all reach their foreign
destination, hence a letter which gets
through promptly Is an item of ex-
treme good fortune and of pleasure
to the anxious families.
Drury and Ross Ln Prelle did not
wait for Uncle Sam to declare hos-
tilities against the German kaiser,
but offered their services through the
Canadian government, in the automo-
bile section. Drury is driving a car
for officers and Ross drives a truck
and both are upon the firing line with
the fighters who are doing the real
execution in this great war. It is in-
teresting to have confirmation of
statements received from other sour-
ces, that the "Fighting Canadians"
are composed largely of Amercian
boys, who, like the La Prelles, volun-
teered early in the game. This is cas-
ually mentioned in Drury's letter.
Omitting much that was strictly
"home news" and allowing for pages
and parts of pages depleted by the
censor, the latest from France by a
Temple boy is that the brothers are
In the thick of It.
Drury, as stated, is driving an offi-
cer's car. and he congratulates him-
self that he was on a trip back from
the front and out of hearing of the
terrible sounds of cannon's roar. A
long Journey was In progress into sec-
tions of the country not visited be-
fore and there is mention of dense
forests where even wild deer may be
sighted, of villages as yet slightly
touched by war's terrors, and of beau-
tiful landscapes and panoaamas in ft
charming country. Where the censor
tore out sections there were evidences
that effort was made to acquaint the
homefolks with information of some
great forward movement by the allies,
and that the beautiful villages were
in some way to he involved.
Information concerning his brother
Ross was that he had been called to
take a truck on which, the night be-
fore, the driver had been killed, and
that Ross was fat but not so gray-
haired as the elder brother, who was
writing the letter.
The family Is also In receipt of a
communication from another son,
Rogers, who is in a naval training
camp In Michigan, holding a minor
office and held In the camp as In-

Ocean parkway at thirty-four miles

"I plead guilty," he said.
"Haven't you even one excuse to

much surprised.
"Not one; I'm guilty," replied the
motorist.
"You are the first motorist I have
met who did not offer some excuse,"
said the magistrate, "and for your
