There are more than 200 ‘chapels’ “Big Six,” and each one of them has own gocial affairs—dinnere, clambakes, picnics, baseball teams, bowling teams and the Ifee—Out the Union as a whole entertains but once a year—at its birth- day party. % “Big Six," among other provisions for lightening the burdens of its members whe meet with misfortune, maintains ‘beds in seven New Yor! hospitafa, where fn union printer can be cared for free. 1+ alao bears the expense of printers {!! in other hospitals when the occa: quires it. The proceeds of the ann pall are devoted to the “hospital fund. Horace Greeley was the first President of “Big Six," and there have been many presidents since. Uncounted thousands of men have esteemed membership cards in “Big Six" as theic moet treasured possession in the last sixty-three year: and uncounted thousands who wo! have despaired otherwise when trouble came have found that the world was aweet after ail because of “Big Six.” THEY CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE ACED. ‘The New York local, on account of its size—"Big Six" has about 7400 members contributes heavily toward the philan- throples of the International Typo- graphical Union, which, among other ;thimge, include the maintenance of the ‘Home for Aged Printers at Colorado ‘Springs, at a cost of $4,000 a month, the pensions of # a weok to superannuated union printers and the sums patd to the familes of union printers who die at the ond of five years’ good standing.

Some of “Big Gix’s” members have laid aside their aticks and gone into polities, commerce and professions, wielding influence and Winning success, put keeping their union oards paid up. Among the guests of honor at the ball last night were 8. B, Donnelly, the \'nited States Public Printer, and Mra, Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly was formerly President of “Big Six” and ‘hes also served ae President of tne International. He keeps his “Big 81x” card, you bet! “Big Six” sent a goodly number to the front in the civil war, and again in the little bit of a sawed-off war with Spain, but in dts own affairs it likes peace better than etrife—prefera me- lation and conciliation to etrikes, al- though its members eay, “W be ready to fight to have peace.” Now there in an arbitration agreement with ail the New York datites.
