country printers that they were
heartily in sympathy with the
movement, and that we had
nothing to fear from them.
The ways of the "barn storm-
er" are many and varied. Fore-
man Jackson, ofthe Oklahoman,
had an experience with one
recently that was the limit. The
first take he caught was a bunch
of want ads. After quite a
struggle he finally got them up
and dumped them, when, behold!
he had run them all in, making
one big paragraph of the whole.

The Living Wage.
In answer to the query, "What
is a living wage?" the Kansas
City Labor Herald says;
A living wage ought to be
sufficient to secure to every able
bodied, right minded, sober and
industrous working man—
Enough to keep not only him-
self, but also a family, in a
healthy state of mind and body.
Enough to rermit all his child-
ren to take advantage of the
public school system.
Enough to enable him to ac-
quire a home of his own.
Enough to permit him to ac-
cumulate a bank account suffi-
cient to furnish some security
against sickness and old age.
Is there anyone prepared to
say any workingtnan, no matter
how humble his work may be,
ought to be content with less?
Can we bost of our American
freedom if we know that there
are not only a few men, but
millions of them, whose wages
are so meager that is an abso-
lute impossibility for them to
have a home or educate a fami-
ly?

Typographical Notes.
Work is brisk at this writing, |
and everybody busy.
We have moved into our new j
hall, and our last meetng was
certainly a good one; nearly
everybody was there, and there j
was something doing continu- j
ously during the two hours' ses- |
sion.
Five journeymen and two ap-
prentices were given the obliga-
tion.
The eight-hour situation looks
better to us all the time; our
members feel greatly encouraged
by the success of the unions, and
are determined to make this an
eight-hour town.
A new member was added to
the label committee, and a vig-
erous label-booming campaign
will be made from now on.
Wc are doing all we can to
organize the country printers in
our vicinity, and where we have
not been able to take them in we
have fully explained our eight-
hour movement, thereby educa-
ting them along the lines of un-
ionism; from every quarter we
have had assurances irotn the
"\J0\veve Z)o
