The Conference went on record ap
proving the recent Unemployment In

classification in the Electrotype indus
try, and the shorter work week so
that those now out of work can be
absorbed by the industry.
The following cities represented
were: Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield,
Columbus, Cleveland, Akron and Can

It was reported that there was a
slight improvement in work through
out the state.

Due to the financial condition of the
treasury of the state organization dues
were suspended, for the next six
months.
At the suggestion of International
Representative Christopher Kelly of
Chicago, Youngstown, O., was selected
for the next Conference in June, 1937.
Following the regular business ses
sion, Representative Gardner, of Lo

motion pictures of the Claybourne sys
tem, and the modern electrotype plant
of the Dayton Electrotype Company.
These pictures were furnished thru
the courtesy of Mr. Lehr, president
and general manager of the Dayton
Electrotype Company. Mr. Lehr has
done much to improve the electrotype
industry through his i*esearch work
in his modern plant with the Clay
bourne process.
It is Mr. Lehr's opinion that the
electrotype industry must produce a
better finished product if they wish
to gain back the work that was lost to
the off-set printing process, and roto
gravure, which has made great in
roads in the electrotype industry dur
ing the depression due to its cheap
cost of production to the advertiser.

Good for Something
"Here you are, sir," cried the hawk
er, extending a bouquet. "Buy some
nice flowers for your sweetheart."
"Nothing doing," responded the young
man. "I haven't got a sweetheart."
"Buy some flowers for your wife
then."
"Wrong again," was the answer.
"I'm not married."
"Well, then, Guv'nor, buy the bloom
In' lot to celebrate your luck."
A Winner
"What kind of luck did you have
at the races?"
"Very good," answered Miss Cay
enne. "I bet on every race."
"And won?"
"No money. But I won a lot of
sympathy from the most likable man
I ever met and he says I need some
body to protect me."
In Plain English
The girl was trying to freeze out
the young man who wanted to marry
her.
Said she: "Circumstances compel me
to decline a marital arrangement with
a man of no pecuniary resources."
"Er—""he stammered. "I don't quite
get you—"
"That's what I'm telling you!" was
the icy reply.—Tit-Bits Magazine.
ON PICKET DUTY
THE BUTLER BOUNTY PRESS
"You say your husband hasn't done
a stroke of work in six weeks?"
"How can he do a stroke of wor
wlien there's a strike?"
Obsolete Metaphor
"Don't you think you are trying to
rise too rapidly in our political career?'
asked the constituent.
"No," replied Senator Sorghum.
"Remember the poet wrote, "Tlie
heights by great men reached and kept
were not attained by sudden flight."
"Yea But that was written long ago,
before they had tall buildings with
modern elevators."
Seventy Calls a Day
A Yorkshire commercial traveler
boasted of doing 70 calls a day.
"How do you do It?" asked a friend.
"Oh," said he, "I puts my head inside
t'door, and says, 'Marnin'," I says.
'Marnin',' says she. 'Owt?' I says.
'Nowt,' says she. 'Marnin',' I says.
'Marnin',' says she. And off I goes to
t'next shop."—Pearson's Weekly.
True Principles
Mrs. Multikids—I never punish my
children. It's decidedly against my
principles.
Mrs. Morekids—I wonder how you
can expect to manage them.
Mrs. Multikids—I tell my husband
when they misbehave and he larrups
them.
Print
"Do you expect to be one of the men
who leave footprints in the sands of
time?"
"I'd like to be," answered Senator
Sorghum, "if only to disappoint my an
tagonists who say I ought to be leaving
fingerprints in the rogues' gallery."
In Request
"Do you receive many Invitations?"
"Yes," answered Mr. Chuggins.
"Scarcely a week passes that I do not
received a card politely Informing me
that myself and flivver will be welcome
at the nearest police station."
NEW BLAST FURNACE
Construction of another blast fur
nace at the Hamilton Coke and Iron
Company was announced by J. A. B.
Lovett, vice president and general
manager, at a group meeting of 250
company employes held in the An
thony Wayne Hotel, Monday night,
at which George M. Verity, chairman
of the board of the American Rolling
Mill Company, Middletown, was the
guest of honor.
The new furnace will have a capa
city of 500 tons daily. The present
furnace is capable of turning out 700
tons daily since it was rebuilt last
summer. Addition of the new unit will
give the Hamilton Coke and Iron Com
pany a daily production of 1,200 tons.
Construction of the new furnace
was made necessary because of in
creased demands for hot pig iron at
Armco's Middletown plant and a rap
idly growing number of foundries pur
chasing pig iron from the Hamilton
Coke and Iron Company, Mr. Lovett
said.
Start Work at Once
Construction work will be started
during the present month. Erection of
