Trades Union Activities The plate printers officlally have come out with suggestions for the proposed reorganization of the burcau of engraving and printing. Here are some of the suggestions based on the experlence which members of Local No. 2 have had in the money-printing plant: “Maintain an efficient force of plate printers—men who will be able to produce -the finest quality of paper securitles; “Retain as many of these plate printers as possible, because the gov- ernment will need their services in the near future to meet the oncoming wave of business prosperity; “If possible, make'a recommenda- tion that in view of the valuable serv- ice rendered by plate printers during the great war and the promise of the government to them of permanent positions, that those separated from the rolls of the bureau as plate printers be given employment in some other government position. Incidentally, while speaking of plate printers, the official organ of the International Plate Printers’ and Pie Stampers' Union. The Plate Printer, which _is_published here, is running “The Story of the American Federation of Labor,” by Matthew Woll, presiderit of the International Photoengravers’ Union and vice presi- dent of the American Federition of Labor. The article portrays the laws. character, strength and manner of working of the federation. As a result of the report of dele- gates from the Maryland State and District of Columbia Federation of Tabor convention, a reception room for discarded hats, shoes and gar- ments to be sent to the miners' re- lief committee has been established in the Plate Printers’ headquarters in the Washington Loan and Trust building. Election of Frank H. Long to his mecond term as president of the Columbla Typographical Union in the annual election during the past week is belng heralded by his supporters as a vote of confidence in his dealings with those who employ union printers, including the United States govern- ment. A short time ago there was quite some Interchange of views via letter between Mr. Long and Public Printer George H. Carter. To say that the situation at the government printing office had aroused keen in- terest among printers Is superfluous. In the balloting Long received 324 votes more than Howard A. Harrison, who polled 618. Frank Seiffert won the vice presidency by the largest margin, recelving_almost 700 votes more than Joseph E. Goodkey. 3 Other _victorlous candidates in- cluded: E. S. Hantzmon, Charles A. Stretch, E. E. Arnett and Marsh A. Bodenhamer, to be delegates to the annual convention; George G. Seibold, secretary; T. Parsons, assistant secretary; W. C. Fechtlg, sergeant at arms; E. W. Davison, doorkeeper; IL B. Goodrell, trustee; and John M. Barr, Ernest J. Elwocd and Edward L. May, auditors. Executive committee members for the coming year will be: Arthur G. Bateman, Joseph H. Cummings, Bur- ton W. Doyle, Frank H. Hambright, George C. Lear, Edwin A. Sullivan, Kdgar T. Brown, Clarence J. Desper, Percy I Lowd, Claude I Mallard, Theodore P. C. Willis, Robert R. Dil- lard and John F. Quinn. Union electrictans, with storm clouds past; are at work again at $9 per day, an increase of 50 cents per day over the former scale. This was the scale handed down by the na- tional council of the trade, on which employers and employes werc repre- sented, and it has been accepted offi- cially by the local union. The executive committee in charge of organized labor's non-partisan political campaign in Arlington coun- ty, Va., met early last week at the reside of John W. Proetor- of Ballston, Va., and took up the ques- tion of support for the state senator- ship from _Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Prince William counties. It was decided to have Frank Ball, now commonwealth attorney for Ar- lington county to address the next meeting of the fortnightly series, scheduled for Clarendon. Announce- ment was made that speaking privi- leges would rest in the hands of Mr. Proctor. Members 'attending _the meeting were John W. Proctor, John Herrity and L. Esters of the elevator constructors; Willlam Lucas of the engineers; J. H. Owens of the tile setters, and Watson McCoy of the Rod Workers' Union. Central Labor Union meets again tomorrow night. Routine work is on the program fo: discussion. Harry Hollohan will preside. Quietly, unostentatiously and effi- ciently, according to those interested, the work of planning organization of women in local department stores is progressing in a smooth manner. ¥rank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, has his eve on this work and is taking an active part in the direction of the preliminaries to the actual campaign. No formal announcement of the ini- tiation of the active campalgn has yet been made, but committees are meeting and laying plans informally, So that when the time arrives for the opening of the campaign to protect women who might be discriminated against as a result of the Supreme Court’s nullification of the minimum wage law in the District everything will be in readiness. While New York is having her troubles with building trades, Wash- ington Is moving smoothly and se- renely along in construction work. From real cstate dealers comes the word that never before have houses reached the scale of construction that is now the case. Building houses means work. Work means empioy- ment of those trades who build houses. And from virtually every local union connected with the build- ing industry comes the cheering $2,000 CASH-"gezss TEN YEARS—will buy the most beautiful fruit and poultry farm near Wash'ngton, LAUREL, Md. 18% acres, 3 in wood. 500 bearing fruit trees of all kinds; 400 grapevines, strawber- ries, raspberries, etc.: garden already planted, Chicken houses.” Cotiage worth more than ask.

No Expense Attached. Are these personal advantages suf- ficlent to justify a youth in giving a month of his time to secure them at no expense to himself? The answer can safely be left to the young men Take the parents’ point of view. What are the ‘parents going to get out of it? All this worry and thinking are Store Hours: 8A.M.to6P. M. solved by Uncle Sam in his training camps’ provisions. And parents will get this out of it—that for thirty days they need not worry nor think about their boys' welfare and they should get down on their knees and offer up thanks every night that they have a government that in its camps will surround their boys with every moral safeguard and that will return them home with keen minds in sound bodies, much more obedient to thelr wishes, with a relish for work, with respevt for authority, with a broader knowledge of men from other states and walks of life, and with a greater capacity and ability for the battle of life. and with a due sense of re- sponsibility to home, community and nation. Here is the one month when parents can be assured that work and play are reasonably combined and when they can dismiss from their minds the ever-recurring worries and thoughts that have found expression in such words as “Where Is My Wan- dering Boy Tonight?" He will be sleeping the sleep of the healthy young animal—well cared for in body and mind and conscience and soul. Will this be a blessing to parents? The answer can safely befleft to anx- fous mothers and fathers. It all seems too good to be true and consequently some good souls are skeptical about it.
