ground that he ie is or has been inimical to the interests of the typographical union and opposed to organized labor in any form this is not true the new now york tribune ot of which whitelaw reid ie is editor and one ot of the principal stockholders hol dere is not an ordinary printing office bat but ie Is what is known as a lino type machine establishment that ie Is the composition is done by

office this fact was pointed out by mr reid during the negotiations between himself and representatives of typographical union no 6 which were carried on for months before the vice presidential nomination was given to mr reid the obstacles in the way of an adjustment of the difficulties came from a certain element of the union so say the representatives of the union in their published

trade organization the officers of the union declared this clement averse to a settlement with the tribune on any terms desiring to keep the controversy open for the purpose of making political capital for its parly party rather than by ending it forever to re care the true interests of the union and of organized labor generally daring during the correspondence which took piece place between
