George 'Wilnot Harris, Most Wor
shipped ZooZ Dear Brother: The
above wanton and wilful insubordina
tion of our Most Worshipped Secre
tary, William Mallett Maupin, is re
spectfully called to your immediate
attention. THE Executive Council di
rects you to at once order ajl per
capita tax sent to this office from the
date of this communication until fur
ther notice. THE Executive Council
will teach this ungrateful subordinate
official a lesson that will last him un
til the next Solemn Conclave meets
in Boston. When the question in dis
pute the law the facts and the ar
guments will be investigated by a
committee to be appointed by THE
Executive Council as provided by the
laws of our Noble Order. Now, you
Missouri brat, you will neither count
per capita tax or pay salaries. THE
Council will teach you who is boss in
the B. O. O. Z. There is no appeal
from THE Executive Council. All
members of the Order, such as Wil
son, Dirks, Lanstrum and Smith, who
have only taken the degree of Vipers,
are hereby commanded to cease hold
ing communication with the un
frocked and dehorned Most Wor
shipped Secretary until they have
first secured the consent of THE
Executive Council.
SADIE MAG-UIRE,
THE Executive Council.
William H. Abercrombie," aged 71,
died at the Home at Colorado Springs
on September 7. He was a veteran
of the civil war and had been a guest
at the home for three years. He en
listed in 1861 from 'New York and be
gan service as a private, rising to the
irank of captain. He was admited to
the Home from "Big 6" of New Yorit
City.
The Most Worshipful Secretary re-
te rates his defl of THE executive
council. The deadly insult of being
called a "Missouri brat" will not.be
overlooked. But it might have been
expected from the Irish mick who
comes over here, and before his
brogue is worn off presumes to tell
native born Missourians what to do.
Something has got to be done to make
these foreign "scum" realize their
place so there now. As long as they
were confined to the police force they
were all right, but the minute we tooR
pity on one of them and elevated him
to an office worth while, he swells up
like a poisoned pup and presumes to
dictate. To hear THE executive com
mittee talk one would think he really
had a way of enforcing his mandates.
Piffle! Also tush, tush! The mem
ber of our Noble Order who fails to
send his per capita tax to the Most
Worshipful Secretary will not be al
lowed a hearing in the official organ.
The Most Worshipful Secretary is edi
tor of the official organ, even if he
is not a part and parcel of THE exe
cutive committee. Anyone caught
viping while in arrears for per capita
tax acording to the Most Worshipful
Secretary's books will "get his'n" and
get it in a way that will make Butte
feel like rejoicing that it was no
worse. As a measure of retailiation
the Most Worshipful Secretary here-
by serves notice that the proposition
to increase the salary of THE execu
tive council will not be given a place
on the official ballot. And this is not
the only club we hold over the arro
gant head of THE executive council,
either. There are twenty-five other
reasons why THE executive council
dare not carry this matter too far.
Just to show our independence we
hereby appoint J. J. Dirks Most Wor
shipful Chiropodist of the Benevolent
Order of ZooZ, and his commission
is forwarded by this mail. Now come
on, you Munster Mug. We defy you
to do your worst. And we don't com
promise by taking a slap in the face,
either. So there now.
Claim was made in the newspapers
in an inconspicious item that 150 dele
gates were in attendance at the ty
pothetae convention. But I reiterate,
and I am prepared with evidence to
sustain the statement, that not more
than thirty delegates were in atten
dance, and that the convention was
an absolute, abject failure.
If any further evidence were need
ed that we have won the greatest in
dustrial battle of modern times, that
beyond preadventure we have estab
lished the eight-hour day, that we
have contributed most materially to
the universal shorter - work day, it
was furnished by the pitiful exhibi
tion of the .United, Typothetae of
America in annual session in Niagara
Falls this week.
Fraternally,
JAMES M. LYNCH.
Last spring Mr. "Billy" P. Willett,
of the Willett Press, New York Cky,
visited at the Printers' Home on' his'
way back to New York from the
Shriner's convention at Los Angeles.
He was so delighted with the Home
and its purposes that he decided to
do something for the pleasure of the
"old boys". He is a member of tbe
New York branch of the Printers'
League of America, and when he
reached home he told the League all
about the Home. As a result the New,
York branch purchased and sent to
the home a "Victorola," valued at
$700, together with $150 worth of re
cords. Now the "boys" at the home
can have all the music they want, and
as they listen to it they can realise
:he difference between the employers
who make up the Printers' League of
America and those who make up the
iocadent and almost deceased Un'ied
Typothetae of North America.
Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show
pitched its tents in Colorado Springs
on September 10, and the "boys" at
the home attended In a body as the
guests of the management. They
went to the show grounds in two spo-
cial cars and were given the best
seats. And Pawnee Bill puts the la
bel on his printing, too.'
Word has been received here that
Mr. and Mrs. Hoon and daughter.
Helen, climbed Pikes Peak recently.
This makes the third trip up that
mountain for Mr. and Mrs. Hoon.
Mrs. George Locker is packing her
goods, preparatory to joining her hus
band in Hastings.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Bustard have
left the ranch in charge of the hired
man and will spend two or three
weeks with friends in Lincoln.

NEW TYPOTHETAE AGREEMENT.
Typographical Union No. 80 Has Pre
sented a Request for October 1.
The working agreement signed by
Kansas City Typographical Union No.
80, and the job printing establishments
expires October 1. The typographical
union has drafted a new agreement
and presented it to the various firms
for their signature. It makes three
changes, chief of which is a reduction '
of the working day from nine hours
to eight hours. It also calls for pay
of "time and one-half" for overtime,
and an increase in the wage scale
from $17 to $18 a week.
The agreement, has not been gen-
erally signed by the printing houses,
and it is possible that a atrike may
be called October 1. The eight-hour
day is the chief point of controversy.
Kansas City Star. , ,
SOUNDS LIKE IT.
There are a few labor editors' not a
thousand - miles from Ohio who are
paid organizers of tho I. T, U. . Be
cause they are on the pay roll does
not justify them in calling the 17,837
members of the union knockers for
opposing a salaiy grab that has not
Lcn earned. Do they have to holler
that way to hold their jobs on the
pay i oil r Western Laborer. .
COMING CONVENTIONS.
The following bulletin, received on
September 13, and Friday, too
from President James M. Lynch, tells
its own sad story. The bulletin was
very appropriately bordered in deep
black:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 12.
To the Members of the International
Typographical Union: The United
Typothetae of America was in con
vention in Niagara Falls, Canada, on
the 10th and 11th of this month.
I AM IN A POSITION TO STATE
POSITIVELY THAT NO MORE
THAN THIRTY DELEGATES WERE
IN ATTENDANCE UPON THIS CON
VENTION. The sessions covered only two days,
approximately a total of only twelve
hours.
President Berry, of the Internation
al Printing Pressmen and Assistants'
Union, appeared before the conven
tion and requested a modification of
the contract between the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants'
Union and the United Typothetae of
America on the closed-shop question.
His request was turned down by the
remnant of the Typothetae. I under
stand that President Berry will re
commend to his organization, on a ref
erendum proposition, that immediate
demand be made for the eight-hour
day and closed shop.
My information is also to the ef
fect that a more disconsolate, dis
gusted, and utterly routed relic of. a
once great organization never met in
convention than the United Typothe
tae of America in its Niagara Falls
session this week.
