He will be greatly missed 1®t only in his family circle but by a host of admiring friends. John Couchman. Jolin Couchman, 23, son of Henry and Genevieve Couchman of New York, died in this city Friday morn- ing, after an illness of several months. The body was sent to New Yorg for burial.

RISLEY, (Toastmaster) With song and speech, wit and elo- quence, looking back at a half cen! of achievement and confident of successful a future, Norwich - graphical Union No. 190, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its organization Saturday night with a banquet at the ‘Wauregan louse. Of the twelve printers who sisned the charter in 1867 but two survive, Ambrose Hiz- gins of Jewett City and Homer Bliss of Plainfield. The oldest living mem- Dber of the union is Alfred S. Curtiss of Norwich, who was present. Mr. Hig- gins, hale and hearty, was also pres- ent, but Mr. Bliss, unable to attend, sent a letter of regret which was read. President George A. Risley of the lo- cal union acted as toastmaster. Swahn's orchestra furnished music. Following the welcoming address of President Risley the craftsmen and their invite? guests-discussed the fol- lowing exccllent menu: Martini Cocktgil of Tomato lieview—En ‘Tasse Flake Wafers o Essense elery Olives Darne of Salmon—a I’ Admiral Pommes Brabant Roast Turkey—Sage Dressing 5 ranberry Sauce - New Potatoes Rissole Peas En Croustade Banquet Rolls Bottled Beer Golden Gate Salad French Cream—Assorted Flavors Assorted Fancy Cakes Demi-Tasse Cigars Alfred S. Curtiss, taking for his subject, Norwich Typographical Union No. 100, givinz the reasons for which it was orzanized and the principles for which it has stood during the past half century, spoke as follows: The Norwich Typographical _union was instituted March 2d, 1867. It had its inception in the conviction prevail- ing at the time among the men worl ing at the printers’ trade that their common interests would ~be better served by an organized union, by means of which uniform rules and regulations could be established, than by the cha- GEORGE B. NEIBERT otic condition existing when each was for himseif and not necessarily for anyone else. After several preliminary meetings, a permanent organization was effected and a constitution was adopted pre- faced by the following declaration: “We, printers of Norwich, claiming that a concentration of our efforts is necessary for the attainment and pres ervation of an adequate value for our labor, and that a frequent assembling of those who work at the art of print- ing, and an interchange of opinions, must be productive of beneficial resuits and tend to bring members of the eraft into close and enduring ties of friend- ship, deem it essential for these pur- poses to organize this seciety, and do hereby enact, declare and establish the following as our constitution and rules of future government.” The fundamental idea of the union is expressed in the motto engraved upen the heal of the union: “Juncta Juvant," of ages into the dark places of earth. Mr. Curtiss’ address John on the Union Printers' E,it as a refuge for the printer, in the heart of made possible by the gen- of George W. Childs, Anthony and the contributions of T 1. 'y, in response to :LM Our Employers. spoke of a8 always considerate for the welfare of their employes—the peers of master printers wherever found. 7 An Employer’s Views. ‘William H. Oat, the next speake: teld of the conditions of newspapers when the union was founded com- with conditions today. In part . Oat spoke as folows ‘When this union was organized in 1867 there were two daily, two weekly, and one meonthly rs in Norwich— the Daily Advert » _the Norwich Morning illetin, the Weekiy Aurora, the. Weekly Courier and the Home Ga. zette. The dailies were four page pa- pers, with ten or eleven columns of read matter and seventeen or eighteen columns of advertisements. The wage scale was probably 35 cents a thousand ems, although I can find no record of it. This Zave the ave- rage compositor about $2.80 a day. In those days the compositor had to work il night on the morning paper and threw in his case the next afternoon, making many more hours’ work than is necessary today with the modern linotype. A number of years after the union was organized, as a boy, I entered the business. At that time Willlam D. Manning was the foreman of the job room, and Willlam H. Hovey was fore- man of the composing room. iliam N. Andrew, John Trankla and Fred Manning were in the job room. In the composing room were A. S. Cur- tiss, A. A. Sparks, Daniel Tracy, D. T. Roath, William H. Fagles, John ¥Yow- ler, Charles McCarthy, E. B. Arm- strong, Sammie Sampson, and Tommis Robinson was the printer’s devil. Jonn Trankla, Senior, was the pressman, his job being the softest one in the business. He began about nine o'clock ~t night, ran the boller and engine, be- sides running the regular edition. William D. Manning’s reputation as a master printer reached beyond the borders of Connecticut. He had the other soft job, arriving at the office early and not leaving until all the rest had gone, when he started for home with enough proofs to keep him busy half or all night. Indeed, these two men deserved pensions. Mr. Oat also told of the early das of the trad= when the tramp printer was a permanent fixture of the news- paper ' business. Today the tramp printer has disappeared. He spoke, of the efficiency of the modern days and that the efficiency was explained in one word-—compet tion. Mr. Oat gave several humorous incidents which have come under his motive in the newspaper business. In a few words he spcke of the hardest worked man in the newspaper office. the telegraph operator, who in actual strength used in One evening’'s work is sufficient to lift 21 tons. Foremost Organization of Crafts. John F. Murphy, secretary of the New England Typographical Union, that no local union in New Eng land has cost the international organi- zation less money than No. 100. In looking back young men of today can- not appreciate the difficultics of olden days in the printing trade. The I T. U. is the foremost organization of crafts in this country. Today its unjons are run on an efficiency plan. A card index system is in use, show ing the status of every printer. In the past the custom was to organize the printers in a town and then zo up against the emplovers with their pron- osition. Today they go first to the employers and by convincing them that unionism is to the mutual advan- tage of both sides, secure the cooper- ation of the emplovers in organizin: Mr. Murphy said the New England Typographical Union was the first la- bor organization in the country to es. tablish an employment bureau. It has abolished abuses in the application system. - By their persistency the members of the union have improved litions in many New England cit- i%, among other things doing away with the intermittent employment of women in Poston. The apprentice sys- tem must be improved and a boy must have some natural adaptability for the craft. Since 1906 the life of the printer has been prolonged seven vears by im- proving sanitary conditions. The pen- sion system and death benefits hae been of great advantage. Miss Viola Seymour and Henry Fon. talne entertained the diners with a very pleasing song and dance sketch. They were warmly applauded, Frem Devil to Editor. George A. Sturdy of New London, veteran newspaperman, who knows the trials and jovs (sic) of the business from A to Iszard, responded to the toast Four Decades of Newspaper Bujlding. He told of his experiences In_various capacities from devil to editor. His amusing anecdotes and reminiscences were heard with ap- preciation. While Mr. Sturdy found it goed to be in such an atmosphere of joy, and L T. U. gives a convincing answer to the famous painting Am I My Broth- er's Keeper? » Hugene B. Armstrong, speaking of Reminiscences, told in an entertaining way of many happenings of the long ago. Joseph Sheridan and Carl Lyons rendered several pleasing selos which were warmly applaudeq. The seating arrangement was in the form of a hojlow square in the center of which was a bank of palms and ferns. The tables were handsomely decorated with cut flowers and ferns.

In due time a charter was procured from the National Typographical un- ion, as it was at that time, and be- came recognized and known as “the Norwich Typographical union, Ne. 100.” The national bedy in 1869 chapged its title to International Typographieal un- ion of North America. it having in the meantime extended its jurisdiction over the various local unions which had been organized in the Deminjon of Canada. This union has ever remained loyal to the principles while subject to the laws of the International union, and has contributed its full quota of funds for its support. A kindly feeling has been at all times cultivated among the membership, and no brother in distress hae appealed to their syrppathy in vain. In their rela- tions with their employers they have sought to maintain a mutual respect and good will. While insisting upen what they considered their just they have not asked for nor exp more. + ’ i § e 0 e entury ence, the union ean look back its with & fellowship, yet to him there was @ tinge of sadness connected with the oceasion.

The innocent should be shown the sin so that they might beware of it. Now comes the question, What is mortal sin? Mortal sin is the breaking of God’s faws and the offend- ing of God's spirit, We were all cre- ated by the same God that created the fish of the sea, the birds of the , the sun, the moon and the stars.

God gave us His only begotten Son to show us the way of salvation, and for this we should render to Him love and obedience. Few of us fully realize the enormity of the sin we com- mit day after day when we uttcrly dis- regard the word of God. ‘What does the sinner gain by the disregard of God's law?
