TREASURY NOW HAS $158,122.50 TO
THE GOOD.
Typographical Journal Publishes De
tailed Statements of Receipts and Ex*
penditures Showing Expense of Car
rying on Strike for Eight-Hour Day
Strike Roll Now Has 5,784 Names,
In the current issue of theTypograph
Ical Journal is printed a detailed finan
cial statement of the receipts and ex
penditures of the organization from
Aug. 24, 1905, to April 21, 1906, to
gether with monthly balances and the
report of the auditors for the six
months ending Jan. 31. Altho the ex
penses of carrying on the eight-hour
contest have been enormous, the repbrt
states that the international treasury
contains a balance'of $158,122-.50, ^di-
vided into the. following funds: De
fense fund, $109,858.40 burial fund,
$24,247.91 Typographical Journal fund,
$637.58 special defense fund, $15,-
345.20 Cummings. memorial fund, $12,-
709.71. A deficit in the general fund of
$4,676.30 reduces the total of the above
amounts to the sum mentioned above as
being in the treasury.
How Funds Stand.
Receipts for the defense fund from
Aug. 24, 1905, to April 21, 1906, are as
follows: Fund's portion of per capita tnx. $28,445.62
One-half of 1 per cent assessment 34,371.15
Fifty-cent assessment 131,303.30
Ten per cent assessment 42S.S23.34
Donations to eight-hour fight 2,900.82
American Federation of Labor 47,713.94
Cash returned 342.73
Total $069,109.30
Expenditures 612,277.64
Excess of receipts over expenditures.. 556.S31.68
Transferred from special defense fund 47,000.00
Balance In fund Aug. 24, 1805 6,020.74
Balance In fund April 21. 1906..$100,83S.40
From the foregoing figures it will be
seen that the sum of $589,698.19 was
raised thru assessments upon the memj
bership. This amount is $22,579.40
less than was paid from the defense
fund to defray the cost of maintain
ing the strike. Up to April 21,
1906 the International -paid to mem
bers on strike as benefits and for ex
penses incidental to the conduct of the
strike, the sum of $612,277.64. While
at first glance it would appear that the
union treasury was running behind, the
report informs us that funds received
from other sources, such as an assess
ment levied by the American Federa
tion of Labor, have brought the cash in
hand up to a point saiely above the
outlay.
Assessments to Continue.
It is the intention to continue assess
ments upon the membership for some
time to come. The strike roll con
tained on April 21, 5,784 names, divided
as follows: Journeymen printers,
4,782 apprentices, 401, and 601 who are
on the benefit list from the allied
trades. Last month the expenditures
from the defense fund were $l31,708.6ov
against $111,539.16 for the preceding
thirty davs. On the basis of. the-total
receipts lip to April 21, the union has
received from the 10 per cent assess^
ment approximately $30,000.a week.
There are ninety-nine unions on the
strike roll, their total membership be
ing 27,135, only the .iob branch being
involved in the controversy.
Notice has been sent out from the In
ternational to the effect that the earth
quake on the western coast will reduce
the number of paving members by
about 1.000. In fact, it is now well
known that the city of San Francisco
will require considerable financial aid,
and steps are being taken to provide it.
CHOOSING DELEGATES
Unions Pick Men for State Federation
Convention at Stillwater.
Local unions affiliated with the State
Federation of Labor are selecting dele
gates to represent them in the conven
tion to be held at Stillwater next
month. The painters elected their quo
ta at their last meeting, as follows: S.
W Moore, George B. Howley, A. L.
Baker, S. J. Spencer and P. J. Hogan.

buck. William Murphy and Patrick
Hurley have been chosen by the build
ing Trades council.
Messrs. Hall, Kirby and Chubbuck
will represent Cigarmakers' union No.
77, at the fourth annual convention of
the Minnesota State Blue Label league,
which will meet in Stillwater on Sun
day, June 10. the day before the open
ing of the State Federation conven
tion. Amonog the questions to be con
sidered by the league will be plans for
the advertising of the blue label, and
the product of the members of the dif
ferent 6tate locals. Every cigarmak
ers' local in the state will be repre^

TAILORS HELP SUFFERERS.
Local Union Raises $225 to Assist San
Francisco Brethren.
Custom Tailors' union will hold the
annual election Monday evening, June

date a referendum vote will be taken
for the purpose of selecting delegates
to represent the international organiza
tion in the convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, which will be
held in this city next fall.
As a result of an assessment levied
on the local members, the sume of $225
was raised to aid in caring for union
tailors, who suffered thru the recent
catastrophe in San Francisco. Eight
applications were received and re
ferred last meeting, and the entire
membership will be supplied with a
weekly newspaper from now on.
ORGANISER IS BUSY
Hotel and Restaurant Employees and
Bartenders Are Lined Up.
Frank Hoffman, special organizer" for
the Hotel and Restaurant Employees'
International association and Bartend
ers' International League, spent sev
eral days in Rochester, Minn., last
week, in an effort to perfect an organ
ization among the workers in his line.
He will also visit Albert Lea, Austin
and Red Wing, and if time permits will
take a run down to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Mr. Hoffman has been doing great work
as special organizer in this field, and
there is some possibility that he may
become one of the permanent men on
the staff of his union, with this section
of the country as his field of labor.
Duluth, Superior and some of the
range towns are promised attention in
the near future.

The dispatch refers especially to the
New York inspection. I can say
from personal experience that it is not
only far more rigid than any other in
the country, but also that grain that
hjs passed it carries a premium in price
in every important country of Eu
rope.
"'The statement that the identity
of grain shipped at Duluth is* lost at
Buffalo or east of that point cannot be
borne out by the facts. A shipment of
grain from Duluth is discharged into
the Buffalo elevators as a specific lot
with a number, which follows it until
it comes to N^w York and is loaded
into the steamship. Both the railroad
and the elevator company have to certi

is not the slightest doubt that the iden
tical grain sold in Duluth is ioaded on
the steamer in New York.'

years a case of placing in the same hold
grain of different qualities, to the loss
of the buyer of the higher quality. He
went on TO discuss the suggested gov
ernment inspection of wheat for the
whole of the United States. He said:
"'When people ask for an absolute
ly uniform standard of grading thev
forget that inspection is a luiraan insti
tution and grain is a natural product,
which does not grow uniformly. The
requirements are virtually uniform now,
but the opinions of inspectors in the
different markets are sure to vary. It
is also forgotten that after nil a jrood
crop is the best inspector, and when, as
is the case this year, macaroni wheat is
not a faultless crop, there are alwavs
a certain number of complaints. :Na-
ture does not every year, grow No. 1
northern or No. 2 hard winter wheat,
but these grades are marked to repre
sent the minimum requirements of the
grade. Great latitude may be noticed
from year to year in the maximum and
minimum of the- grade.
'It is further to be noticed that,
according to my experience, whenever
wheat is offered to European buyers
with the New York official certificate
of inspection, at slightly higher prices,
they nearly always refuse to pay the
small premium.' As for the inspections
at the gulf ports, especially of wheat,
it must be admitted that they have in
the past few years deteriorated materi

ropean buyers do not altogether refuse
fo buy on* those certificates.

New Orleans and Galveston as No. 3
hard winter, for example, which in any
northern port, especially New York,
would scarcely pass as rejected"
wheat. But even in this case the qual
ity of last year's crop has undoubtedly
a good deal to do with the deterioration
of the inspection.

on the complaints.
'They get pcor grain/ he said,
'but that's what they are bidding for.
I don't understand it. They go to
Duluth, New Orleans or some other port
and complain of the grade, and then be
cause they are quoted or even of

back again.
'Of course, the quality differs from
year to year. There has been a good
deal of cmut this year, but if the wheat
is washed it does not matter at all. In
the last three years we have had to
slacken off our grading to meet other

Manila. P. I., May 12.The official
hangman wants more money. He
claims that the $10 a head which is
paid for hustling murderers' and band
olerismo experts out of this vale of
tears is not enough, and he also believes
that $4 per day is not enough expense
money when he is traveling' about on
gruesome errands.
He says that when he goes out on a
hanging trip he is treated like a pariah.
No native will even permit him to even
enter his house, and when, upon several
occasions, he has managed to go in,with
Americans without giving out the na
ture of his business to the section he
happened to be in, the hosts drove
him out into the cold, cold world as soon
as they discovered who he was. In
one place he had to rent a whole house
and pay $1^ a day for it, pending the
arrival of tn% date upon which a Couple
of unhappy hombres were to be put out
of the world.
The official hangman is a Bilibid
guard in private life.
