and courageous defenders of the faith, none were more militant nor made more sacrifices than William J. Moore. To such fealty and devotion can the present-day membership of No. 89 ascribe the perpetuation of the glorious principles of organized labor. To him a typographical union stood for everything that maintained a compensating avocation and tolerant conditions; and impregnably entrenched in this fortress of immutable conviction, he valiantly fought the battles of his alma materthe International Typographical Union.

Therefore, to preserve the memory of his sterling qualities, your committee would suggest that this slight testimonial be inscribed upon a page of our minutes, a copy transmitted to the family of the deceased and to THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL for publication, and that the membership of No. 89 pay his memory the greatest tribute by an emulation of his self-sacrifice and devotion to principle.

HARRY J. HALL.

San Francisco Mailers' Union No. 18 has the sad duty to report the death of one of its most efficient members, Harry J. Hall, on September 28. He was foreman of the Examiner mailroom. Born in England thirty-seven years ago, Mr. Hall soon made his way to the front. Beside marked ability in his profession, he was a man who had the confidence of his associates, regardless of the position they held. His demise in the prime of youth is deeply regretted. Beside affiliation with the mailers' union, the deceased was a member of the Press Club. The funeral services were attended by practically every mailer in the city who could leave his employment. The following resolutions were adopted at the last regular meeting of Mailers' Union No. 18:

Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty to call from our midst Harry J. Hall, who was a wellknown and popular mailer; and,

WOMAN'S INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY. President-Mrs. Charles Hertenstein, 4901a Page boulevard, St. Louis, Mo.

Secretary-Mrs. Frank W. Long, 4926 Ash street, Norwood, Cincinnati, Ohio.

OMAHA, NEB.

Our first meeting in November was held at the country home of Mrs. E. L. Platz. At this meeting we had members from Council Bluffs, South Omaha, Omaha and Florence. After the meeting was over and the lunch devoured we inspected the fine cow, Plymouth Rock chickens and beautiful view, for Mrs. Platz lives high enough to view Iowa, across the Missouri river.

Our much-talked-of silk quilt was raffled off in November. Tickets on this quilt were sold all over the country, Mrs. A. F. Willson, of Vancouver, B. C., being the lucky one. Mrs. Willson is still a good member of No. 2, although she moved from Omaha some years ago.

We are looking forward with pleasure to the homecoming of Mrs. Kennedy. She will be one of us again the last of this month.

The ladies are all responding at this writing toward filling a good, fat Christmas box to go to one of our dear members who has had more than her share of sickness for two years.

MRS. BERT Cox.

THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER.

We are extremely gratified at the number of replies which have been received to the letters sent out to local unions with a view of interesting them in forming auxiliaries. Many have asked for further information giving the objects and aims of our organization; others have reported that the matter has been placed in the hands of a committee, and still others report that they are organizing. One letter states that the committee soon expects to send in a charter list of fifty names. So we feel that we have succeeded in a small measure in stirring up some agitation in favor of the auxiliary which is going to redound to its good in time. The auxiliaries now on our list are all reaching out for more members and are adding many. The plans for adding to the membership are novel and many, and as they appear in THE JOURNAL make interesting reading; they show that the interest is being manifested in the work, and that is significant.

We are pleased to note that Mrs. Ed D. Donnell, former president of the Woman's International Auxiliary, has become active in Indianapolis auxiliary. Both the auxiliary and Mrs. Donnell

are to be congratulated, the former in gaining a most estimable lady and indefatigable worker and the latter in identifying herself with a splendid local organization. Those auxiliaries that hope to excel Indianapolis in the membership contest will have to look to their laurels with Mrs. Donnell on the job.

We have sent a card conveying holiday greetings to every secretary, so that the same could be transmitted through her to the membership. The cards were sent to addresses as last reported, and for fear that some of the cards may not have reached their destination, we take this opportunity to again wish the entire membership a happy and prosperous new year, and trust that you and yours may enjoy good health and happiness during the year and the years to come.

St. Louis, Mo. MRS. CHARLES HERTENSTEIN.

SEATTLE, WASH.

No. 23 held its seventh annual Christmas bazar December 15, and it was the usual success. Many useful and beautiful articles were donated and all the members were on the committee. The children are our especial care at this time, and an abund ance of the things they like most was provided.

We are using our best endeavors to send a delegate to the San Francisco convention, and therefore have an incentive to work hard. We have appointed a committee to meet and greet the auxiliary delegates as they pass through here, going or coming.

Our auxiliary sustained the loss of a true friend in the death of our president's husband, Louis Miller, who entered into rest on November 24, after a short illness, and our sincerest sympathies have been hers during this time of grief and sorMRS. J. O. BURDICK.

row.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

The holiday season found No. 5 up and doing, as the supper and bazar held on December 6 will testify. The supper part was a success, and only one fault can be found with the whole affair, and that is that the good things to eat did not hold out, the crowd being larger than any we had ever taken care of before. Quite a tidy little sum was realized from the affair, and the chairmen of both the bazar and supper committees deserve great credit for the way the affair was managed.

Owing to the push and enterprise of Mrs. A. E. Butler, the quilt which we are raffling is going to be a financial success.

Mrs. C. E. McKee, former International secre

tary, is a candidate for the office of International president, and we hope that she will receive the support of the members at large. She was one of the organizers of No. 5, and since its organization has never been absent from a meeting. She was also in at the birth of the parent organization in Cincinnati in 1902. Her heart and soul have been in the work, and while serving as International secretary, through her acumen she won the confidence and esteem of all.

A ministrel show is to be given Franklin night by home talent, and a great time is anticipated. Along with the social events and good times we never forget to boost the label.

MRS. J. A. Dallas.

THE SECRETARY-TREASURER'S REPORT. The following is the financial report of the secretary-treasurer of the Woman's International Auxiliary to the Typographical Union for the month ending December 15, 1910:

MILWAUKEE, WIS.

No. 3 held its regular monthly meeting at Paschen's Hall December 13, did lots of business and enjoyed a thorough social time. Many of the members reported excellent work done regarding the label. Our label committee and other members have explained how to co-operate and visit outside organizations and agitate our cause and further the label just as well as they agitate for their cause.

Our visiting committee has done very good work in visiting the sick, taking flowers and doing other kind acts.

Our president received a hand-painted fruit plate as a token of appreciation from the members. Mrs. Frey was presented a silver spoon for her new baby.

We are perfecting arrangements for a winter social and dance some time in January, and as usual, expect a very joyous time.

We are glad to say that we are still adding new members to our rolls. Our contest will come to a close in January, and great excitement prevails, each side expecting a victory. The losers are to banquet the winners. MRS. H. HANSON.

NEW ORLEANS, LA.

On November 23 the members of No. 9 were the guests at a delightful social given by Mrs. J. Appleby. The rooms were beautifully arranged with flowers and ferns. One of the interesting features of the entertainment was a guessing contest, which proved very amusing. A prize of a handsome powder dish was awarded to the guest making the most number of correct guesses. Mrs. C. B. Morse was the fortunate winner.

The guests were then conducted to the dining room, where a dainty repast was served. The table was tastefully appointed with cut glass and silver and the color scheme was carried out in pink. Conversation was indulged in and the principal topics of the day were discussed with fervor. The

affair lasted until a late hour, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all members present.

Our auxiliary has just passed through a crisis. Many of our members have left us. However, we are not discouraged; on the contrary, it has spurred us on to greater efforts.

While we can not boast of having accomplished much since our vacation, we feel that that little will bear fruit, and a way has been opened to us to do much in the coming years.

We closed last year with a clearer understanding as to what our real work is, and begin the new year with an earnest endeavor to make it a banner year for our organization. MRS. C. B. Morse.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.

Our regular business meeting December 7 was well attended. Mrs. Ellett and Mrs. Hull, of San Francisco, joined us by transfer. We are indeed glad to have both these ladies with us, and at the close of the meeting Mrs. Hull gave us quite a talk on what the San Francisco Auxiliary is doing. The auxiliary at Christmas time remembered Theodora and Adelaide Miles, the little daughters of our late president, with gifts; also remembered several of the sick printers of Typographical Union No. 172 with flowers to brighten their rooms during the holidays.

F. W. Horne, secretary-treasurer of Typographical Union No. 172 passed into eternity December 5. He had always been a faithful supporter of the auxiliary movement and will be greatly missed by the membership. He leaves a widow, who is a member of No. 61, also two children, to whom our deepest sympathy goes out in their time of sorrow.

During the past year the membership has not increased as it should with the work our International officers have done; and it is indeed no fault of theirs, but the fault of each auxiliary member. Should each member bring in one during the ensuing year, our membership would be increased greatly, and it can be done if we just make an ef fort. So let this be our aim for this year, to bring in as many as we can, and at least one. MRS. CHARLES B. HARRIS.

ST. LOUIS, MO.

The annual election of officers was held at our meeting of December 8, and resulted as follows: President, Mrs. A. McHenry; first vice-president, Mrs. F. Hynes; second vice-president, Mrs. S. Tenny; secretary, Mrs. R. J. Lowther; treasurer, Mrs. B. F. Swigart; sentinel, Miss Esther Jones.

Miss Anna Fitzgerald, of Chicago, president of the Woman's International Union Label League, visited the auxiliary on November 25 and addressed the meeting on label work. She congratulated the auxiliary on the work it was doing, and urged upon the members that as the women spent the major portion of the family income, it was from them that the greatest demand for unionmade goods should come.

Mrs. Ralph R. Clase is the latest addition to our

ranks, and for the information of any not now members who may read this, allow me to state that the wives, daughters and unmarried sisters and women members of Typographical Union No. 8 are eligible to membership in the auxiliary, and are cordially invited to join. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday afternoons of each month.

Three good New Year's "resolves" for all auxiliaries would be: (1) Double the membership; (2) raise some money for the monument fund, and (3) start right away to make provision for sending a delegate to the convention at San Francisco. The first resolution is highly desirable from any point of view, and easy enough of fulfilment if everybody would put their hearts in the work; the second, because the fund should be added to until enough money has been raised to erect a monument of which we would always feel proud; and the third, because the convention in the western city should be the best attended of any in the history of our organization. MRS. R. J. Lowther.

ST. JOSEPH, MO.

The December meeting of No. 6, at the home of the writer, was one of the most interesting of the year. It was the occasion of the annual election of officers, and no difficulty was experienced in inducing the ladies to accept the offices. The election resulted as follows: President, Mrs. J. E. Murphy; vice-president, Mrs. Bickerton; secretarytreasurer, Mrs. W. A. MacDonald; chaplain, Mrs. C. P. Kingsbury; guide, Mrs. Helene Rhode. One new member was initiated, and she was elected guide.

Mrs. William Ostrander, one of our members, is seriously ill at this writing.

MRS. CHARLES RHODE.

CHICAGO, ILL.

The committee in charge of the ball of November 30, at Cosmopolitan Press Club Hall, given by Woman's Auxiliary No. 8, deems it only just and fitting to thank the union for its hearty assistance toward the success of the ball. The encouragement, given unanimously, was most gratifying to the ladies, as was also the presence of many of the members of the union, including President O'Brien, wife and young debutante daughter. It is to this end that our auxiliary is combining its efforts, aside from the practical purposes, that the printers and their families may join in unison for closer affiliation. We are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to the next social event, the oldtime printers' ball.

The union and auxiliary regular meetings are filled with serious business projects, the care of the sick and distressed, etc., but in affairs of this kind only are all brought together socially and fra ternally with their families in loyal good fellowship in our one great brotherhood. Let every printer take his individual place in the line, and urge his wife to join us in this work, and we will
