representatives of the International

Hotel Imperial, headquarter? of the

took part in the conference were J. W.

rett, first vice president, and James
?I. Hogan, second vice president of the
international, and Leon It. Rouse,
??resident; John S. ,0'Connell, secre?
tary, and Theodore Douglas, organizer,
of "Hig Six."
While no statement was issued fol?
lowing the five-hour conference, Mr.
Hays declared that, he was optimistic
as to the possibility of an adjustment.
He said the International officials will
make recommendations to he presented
to the general meeting of "Hig Six"

accepted, will result in the return to
work of the T?.OOO "vacationist'1 mem?
bers of "Big Six'' and the reopening of
negotiations between "Hi.*-; Six" and

Spirit of Compromise Seen
Mr. Hays said that none of the In?
ternational officials will appear at to?
day's meeting of "Big Six." Mr. Ha\ s
declared also that the revocation of

national was unlikely, indicating a
spirit of compromise.

committees representing Franklin
Union, No. 23, outlawed feeder.-,' or?
ganization, and Pressmen's Union, No.
51, outlawed pressmen's body, held a
joint session at 81 Union Square t?.
discuss the advisability of the press?
men ?affiliating with the International
Printing Pressmen's and Assistant-'
Union. The pressmen had previously
voted to rejoin the International, but
subsequently reconsidered. The meet?
ing of the committees of the two
unions followed a general meeting of
the membership of Franklin Union,
No. L'.'J, at Cooper Union, at which
fames Bagley, president, was renomi?
nated without opposition. Others nom?
inated, how?ver, have opposition.
Only .'{.Il Members Absent
Admission to the meeting was by
member hip card only. This was in?
voked for the purpose of denying the
claims of the International Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants' Union that
1,200 members of the Franklin Union
had deserted the organization and gone
over to the International. The total
number)'of membership cards counted
at the Cooper I'io meet k was 2,046,
while the total membership of the or
gaization is 3,000. Mr. Bagley pointed
?ut that xhv ,'3.r> 1 membera missing can.
?H th?.' main, be accounted for and are
still loyal. He said that the total who
have left the organization is not. more

First Book Without
Printers Is Produced
Tho first attempt in the history of
book publishing to produce a cloth
bound volume without the aid of com?
positors,: pressmen or feeders, has
just been mado by D. Applcton and
Company, of this city. The move was
made because of the striko of the
printing trades and to prove that it
"could be done," the publishers said
yesterday.
"Piggie," a new book from the pen
of Eleanor Gates, author of "The Poor
Little Rich Girl," is this ncweat con?
tribution to literature, und it was pro?
duced by a different process from that
used in the publication of several
magazines, which have been run off
tno press without the aid of the. print?
ing trades. The Appleton Company
describes the operation as follows:
"The first step in the printing pro?
cess is 'setting up.' Usually tnis is
?.lone on a linotype machine, but in the
new Applcton process it was done by
..and on a typewriter. An expert
^ypist, writing on a machine which
..?owed her to use a variety of type
.aces for purposes of emphasis, type
?vrote every page, ullowing space for
?vide margins and for the black and
white drawings, which were to bo
scattered throughout the book. The
pages were then proof-road, and the
(lustrations wer?? pasted into place.
The pages were then photographed on
?lass negatives.
"Unlike those New York mngazines
which have com?* out durin gthe print?
ers' strike in typewritten form, the
photographic page plates of 'Piggie'
were not cast into regular printing
plates and then run olf on a regular
press. Instead, the page photographs
ere transferred to zinc plates which
.?.mid bo stamp?:d onto a special rub?
ber roll. From this rubber roll and
by the use of an art press, not a regu
,ar printing press, the book pages were
printed on regular book paper. The
pages were then cut and bound with
the usual cloth covers and 'Peggie'?
the first typewritten book ever printed
without the aid of a single regular
printing press or pressman?was ready
.'or the public."

While the order does not specify
