For sixteen years approximately d8 per cent of the daily papers of the United States have been isssued under arbitration agreement with the typographical union. So faithful have the printers been in living up to their agreements that where trouble has resulted in a suspension of work during the time a local was under contract or during the time when there was an arbitration agreement, though there was no scale of prices or working agreement in effect, the International Union has ordered the men back to work and, when they refused, has sent skilled men in to see to it that the agreements of the union were fulfilled. This union insists that its members must produce a specified minimum amount of work before they are con-- , sidered competent or entitled to employment in offices having agreements with it. It has never specified any maximum days output the ability of the man has been the sole limit in this regard. Moreover the union has, in its laws and in agreements with employers, clearly defined the rights of foremen in discharging help for incompetence or insubordination, violation of office rules or the contract, and to decrease the force and has refused to support men guilty of any violation of these rules. The typographical Union believes that the public approves and will support an organization that guarantees and enforces substantial justice to the employer as a necessary step to obtaining and maintaining fair wages and conditions for its members.

HENDERSON Furniture and Piano Moying Mr. Jones (which is not his true name) enjoys, above all else, an opportunity to loaf at the corner grocery. Just to sit on the counter and think and talk while his wife is hard at work at home and the grocer and his Large and Small Auto Vana clerk are hard at work in the store is to Jones a privilege well worth 167 South Weat Temple Salt Lake City, Utah Why Lots of People while. But Mrs. Jones and the grocer thought differently. In fact, the grocer disapproves emphatically of any person just sitting when he should be working. One morning the grocer conceived a brilliant idea. Just as Mr. Jones was about to leap lightly to his seat on the counter the grocer slyly placed a sheet of fly paper, black with flies, on the spot where Mr. Jones was to land. Mr. Jones did not discover the uy until he poltiely slid from the , paper counter in order to greet with his best bow a neighbor woman. It is said he left the store theron with such speed that the wind detached the fly paper from its place on the seat of his trousers. When next seen Jones wore his Sunday best and he walked right by the grocery store. Indianapolis News.
