SOME PRINTER DOPE
I,nst week this department referred
tc John Funnell's charges of undue in
terference In Philadelphia union's
representation at the Hot Springs
convention. Now comes Vice Presi
dent John W. Hays and indlgnantly
denies Mr. Funnell's charges and
then proceeds to admit by Indirection
thut the charges are true. "Mr. Fun
nel! charged Mr. Wallace as saying:
"In the early summer the four
members who had been elected to rep
resent No. 2 at the Hot Springs con
vention were called in conference at
the Odd Fellows' Temple, at which
were present the officers of No. 2 and
Vice President Hays. At that meet
ing the delegates were Informed that
they would have to go along with the
Executive Council of the I. T. U. or
Philadelphia would get no considera
tion at their hands."
Vice President Hays indignantly
denies this and then proceeds to say:
"The statement that the officer t
No, 2 and the delegates-eleot were in
formed that they, 'would have to go
along with the Executive Council of
the I. T. U. or Philadelphia would get
no consideration at their hands,' is
ivbsolutely untrue. I was myself re
sponsible 'for the calling of the meet
ing of the officers and delegates men
tloned and stated emphatically that,
being In charge of the Philadelphia
situation, I desired to know what the
delegates expected to present to the
Hot Springs convention; that it could
readily be realized that if the delega
tlon from. No. 2 went to the conven
tion for the purpose of antagonizing
the Executive Council on the floor of
the convention the members of the
' Council would be forced to take the
floor In explanation and that more
than likely the Council would be sus
tained, end as a result the convention
would not do anything for the Phila
delphia union."
that they must go along with the ex
ecutive council. Mr. Hays denies it
and then ' admits that he told the
Philadelphia delegation that if they
antagonized the executive council
they would get nothing. Mr. Hays'
denial is merely a plea of confession
and avoidance. He admits over his
own signature the truth of Philadel
phia's charges. Mr. Hays lays stress
on the fact that over $500,000 has been
put into the eight hour fight in Phila
delphia, but neglects to say that he
drew a fair salary "for expending ic
He also emphasizes the fact that dur
ing the same time Philadelphia union
put In but $15,000 for the eight hour
fight. Those' familiar with the Phila
delphia situation are aware that this
is a sizeable amount, Philadelphia
union having some very heavy local
burdens to carry in addition to the
assessment. Philadelphia's delegates
to the Hot Springs convention have
proved their case by Mr. Hays' denial.
an announced candidate for delegate
honors.
We confess our inability to grasp
executive council logic. Mr. Funnell
says that the delegates were warned
The Associated Press dispatches of
March 10 carried the following infor
mation: "Washington, March 10. James M.
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical Union, and T. C. Par
sons, president cf the local Typo
graphical Union, conferred with Pres
ident Roosevelt at the White House
today regarding the appointment of
a public printer. The president's call
ers did not recommend any one in
particular, but tcld him they would
appreciate it 1f he would select a prac
tical printer for the place. It was
pointed out -that in the appointment
of some one who has had practical
experience in such work considerable
money would be saved to the govern
ment and also there would be less
friction In the office. The president
did not Indicate to his vistors what
he would do."
Charley Barngrover sent one of his
cards to Secretary Bramwood and re
ceived the following letter of acknowl
edgement: "Indiar.apalis, Ind., March 6. Chas.
E. Barngrover, 2815 Starr St., Lincoln,
Nebr. Dear Mr. Barngrover: I re
ceived today you rcard saying that
you "Never tried it, but want to be
"it" this time.' Your aspiration to
serve No. 209 as delegate to the Bos
ton session is a laudable one, and
eighteen years' continuous member
ship is a record on which a member
can well base his claim for prefer
ment. X doubt the Boston session
will be one of the largest, if not the
largest, the international has ever
held.
"If you are successful in your can
didacy for delegate, I hope to have
the pleasure of meeting you in August.
Fraternally yours,
. "J. W. BRAMWOOD."
James Monroe Kreiter of Washing
ton, D. C, contributes an interesting
lot of pungent paragraphs to the
Washington Trades Unionist. One of
his recent ones reads as follows:
"An Omaha candidate for the Amer
ican Federation of Labor in the In
ternational Typographical Union is a
member of the Commercial Club of
that city, and is on a standing com
mittee. Just , what the Commercial
Club stands for is hard to tell, but dne
thing is certain, it does not advocate
trades unionism. Of course this par
ticular candidate is not F. A. Kennedy
(Sadie Maguire)."
His salary has been practically jour
neyman's wages for all these years.
Recently- he asked for an increase in
salary and it was granted. Then
came the "financial flurry" and the
loss to stonecutters of many jobs. Mr.
McHugh has announced that he will
not accept the increase granted untii
times get better and work is once
more flourishing.
That; reminds us of the action of
some other international officers be
cause it is so different.
clothes on, not having a chance to
dress up for the occasion. The friends
present made the most of the occa
sion and a very delightful evening
was spent. Those present were: Mr
and Mrs. A. L. Pound, Mr. and Mrs.
Ii. T. Wilson, Mrs. Berto Wilson, Mrs.
C'ark, Mrs. Lucy Bradley, Mrs. Au
gust Radebach, Mrs. Ella Howard,
Mrs. Parke Van Horn and Mrs. F. J.
Smith; Messrs. Harry' and Louis
Pound, Merle Wilson, Millard Smith,
and Gehman Plehn. and Misses Hazel
Smith and Lela Bradley. The in
vited guests were not told that it was
a wedding anniversary, but several
knew it was, and surprised the pouple
with handsome gifts of chinaware. Mr.
and Mrs. Smith appreciated the occa
sion thoroughly.
TRUE AS GOSPEL.
'To be thoroughly successful we
must, establish more friendly rela
tions with one another, forget the
past, be more generous, liberal and
:air-minded, help each other to do
better, nobler things, gain better con
ditions, and leave our footprints clear
and distinct on the sands of time"

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America.

Stone Cutters' Association of North
America, and the editor of their offi

of man runneth not to the contrary.

sum of $200 was set aside for his ex

Ernest Edeler of Washington, a mem

tion of his action:

Brother Edeler can fill the bill in

needless expense. I shall hereafter
absolutely , refuse to take part in any
organization work where a competent
member of the G. U. is already on the
ground, unless it Is necessary for
your president to be there in his offi
cial capacity."
Once more this reminds us of the
action of another international's presi
dent because !t is" so different.
Guess Guy Green, manager of the
Lincoln ball team, wouldn't make a
hit by having the Garment Workers'
label on his team's uniforms, the al
lied printing trades label on the score
cards and the cigarmakers' label on
the boxes carried by the "butchers."
