In Everybody's Magazine for Sep
tember William Hard has an article
entitled "The Law of the Killed and
Wounded" which should be read by
every man who works for daily wage,
Nothing of more vital interest to
wage-earners was ever published in
a leading magazine, and Everybody's
and William Hard are to be thanked
for having given such a striking ar
raignment of the law's delays and
uncertainties, of the law's quibbles
and injustice. The story of how the
employe is given the worst of it at
every turn is told with a wealth of
detail that is interesting if horrible,
and decision after decision dealing out
the rankest injustice to the toiler
emoted from the records. Mr. Hard
c-oses his splendid article as follows
"Why shouldn't every industry carry
the burden of its own killed and
wounded? Why shouldn't compensa
tion for disability be just as much a
part ,of the cost of business a's it is
of the cost of war? Why shouldn't the
workman who goes into his daily fight
with modern machinery be assured
that his injury will be regarded as an
honorable wound, entitling him to de
cent consideration? Why shouldn't
the industrial soldier, meeting his
death in forms as terrible as those
of any battlefield, die knowing that
he will leave, if not glory, at least
a few years' food to his family?
"Why shouldn't society, having in
vented machines which make business
one long war, treat the enlisted men
at least like enlisted men and, if they
are incapacitated, assign them ten
porarily, or permanently, to the rank
and pay of pensioners of peace?"

SEALING LABOR'S DOOM.
To approve or indorse the candidacy
of William H. Taft would mean to in
dorse the recent decisions of tl!
United States supreme court, to vote
for and elect him would mean to seal
labor's doom. LaCrosse( Wis.) Labor
Journal.

Organized labor, as we understand
if, wants no special privileges; but
justice and equal opportunity. It does
not want the best of the deal; but
square deal. La Crosse (Wis.) Labor
Journal.
the best ever.
St. Joseph was selected for the
1909 convention, the opposition to
old Joe Robideaux's town being scat
tered and unavailing. The convention
was in session six days and gave
consideration to more business than
congress usually considers In a wholo
term. Of course it is impossible to
give more than the barest outline of
v hat was done.
A proposition by Delegate Nolan of
Boston to include the amendments ot
the General Laws with amendments to
the Constitution for action by the
referendum was defeated, the amend
ments to the Constitution being the
only ones to go to the membership.
Another proposition by Delegate Nolan
to have the conventions held quinquen
nially instead of annually was de
feated. A proposition to hold the conven
tions in the headquarters city every
year was defeated, as was also the
proposition to buy land and build
permanent headquarters at University
City, Mo.
The proposition by the executive
ccuncil to increase the council to
seven members was lost. This propo
sition was submitted by the council
as the best form of an increased board
nd was submitted because other
impositions along this line were con-
idered detrimental and unfair and
ot two evils they chose the lesser and
submitted their proposition but be
lieved that the present board was
large enough. The result was that
all propositions dealing with changes
the executive council were lost and
the council continues as at present.
A proposition to make the old age
pension an out of work benefit was
defeated.
All attempts to raise the death bene
fit at this time failed of passage.
The by-laws and general laws will
ow become operative at the same
time as do the laws adopted by the
referendum.
In appeal cases both sides must
submit their cases in printed form
ti the succeeding convention.
Delegate Harris of . Washington,
Ind., introduced a proposition that
the future conventions after the
year 1910 should be held in the head
quarters city and establish a fund to
defray the expenses of delegates to
the convention. This failed of pas
sage as did others of the same class.
An effort was also made to change
the method of electing our officers
from the referendum to the conven
tion but was defeated, it being main
tained that the referendum was the
Ijest.
A proposition allowing candidates
for election to use a half column of
the January Journal in which to state
their claim for endorsement failed.
A proposition passed calling for the
creation of a standing label commit
tee to work in co-operation with the
international president in a system
atic label campaign.
It was . left ' optional with local
union to fine members for non-participation
in Labor Day parades
where such unions by a majority vote
decided to parade.
It was decided that no person
should be admitted a member of the
union who had not served an appren
ticeship of four years.
Efforts to change the wording on
the present traveling certificates were
defeated.
The proposition of the executive
council to change the wording on ths
withdrawal card so as to make clear
the fact that by taking out such a
card continuous membership was
severed, passed.
A proposition allowing subordinate
unions to assess its members for
political purposes was defeated.
The allowing of sub lists was pro
hibited. A proposition was offered that pro
vided that where two parties holding
cards entered the matrimonial state
only one card should be Issued. This
was defeated. The proposition failed
to state which party was to hold the
card.
It was voted to change section 163,
General Laws, by inserting the words
"Printers' League of America." This
displaces the typothetae, the dis
rupted organization of the "open"
shop employers.
All attempts to change the present
priority law proved fruitless.
The label committee recommended
that the president be instructed to
the request made to do all in, our
power to aid the formation of
branches of said league.
The matter of the printing of en
velopes by the government was pro
tested against by the New York dele
gation in Proposition No. 180, which
was disposed of by referring it to the
executive council. .
The endeavor of the American
Peace society for international peace
was appreciated and commended.
The, I. T. U. president was au
thorized to attend all national confer
ences that have for their purpose the
righting of industrial and economic
wrongs.
It was svoted to have the council
take active steps for the organization
of Cuba, Porto Rico and Mexico.
The executive council was urged
to at once commence the organizing of
the craft on a better basis than at
present in the southeast.
It was shown that over 2,000 mem
bers ha-d been added during the past
year.
The present old age pension laws
were amended as follows: Section 6,
article VI, by-laws, by striking out the
words, "and who has no other ade
quate means of support." Also by
amending section 8 of the same ar
ticle to read, "Any member earning
$4 or over in any one week at the
printing trade shall not be entitled to
pension for that week." All other
propositions looking to an amendment
cf the old age pension laws that wero
offered as well as some favoring the
adoption of an insurance, failed ex
cept this substitute offered by the
committee: "The secretary-treasurer
is directed to formulate a compre
hensive plan for gathering and corn
riling such statistics as may be of
value In administering the old age
pension law, and act as a basis from
which to' work should a future con
vention desire to enact insurance leg
islation." The following, submitted by Dele
gate Merk of Cambridge Union, was
adopted: "Resolved, That the execu
tive council of the International Ty
pographical Union be and is hereby
instructed to inaugurate an energetic
fight against all school text-books of
the firms of Ginn & Co. (The Athen
aeum Press), Houghton, Mifflin & Co.
(The Riverside Press), D. C. Heath &
Co., and Silver, Burdett & Co., and
be it further
"Resolved, That the executive coun-U-
of the I. T. U. request the co
operation of the A. F. of L. in t"ni
matter."

Denver Convention Will be Guests of
the Typographical .Union.
The annual convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor will be held
in Denver in November, and it prom
ises to be the largest convention , in
the history of the organization. A
novel feature of the convention will
be an excursion to Colorado Springs
and a visit to the Union Printers'
Home as the guests of the Interna
tional Typographical Union.
The Typographical Union is justly
proud of its home at Colorado Springs.
and , is anxious that union men of
every craft shall know about it. At
Boston the I. T. U. appropriated $1,000
with which to pay the expense of en
tertaining the Denver convention with
an excursion to the Home at Colorado
Springs. A special train will be pro
vided, and a fine luncheon will be
served on the Home grounds. . The
distance from Denver to Colorado
Springs is about sixty-five miles, and
the whole entertainment will occupy
less than a day. "
CARPENTERS WIN VICTORY.
Force Big New York Firm to Come
Across and Be Good.
A short time ago The Wageworker
told how the Brunswick-Balke-Col
lander company of New York had
sought. the courts, to protect it from
tbe onslaughts of the union carpen
ters of New York City. The carpen
ters have been fighting this company
for years because of its unfair atti
tude towards organized, labor. '
Well, the stuff's off, so to speak.
The company has withdrawn its
suit for damages and has signed up
with the carpenters' union. From now
on it will employ union men only. It
took a long while to bring this com
pany to its senses, but patience and
determination finally brought success
