who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are meant for mercy.

Resolved, That as a mark of respect our charter be draped for a period of thirty days, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of Richmond Typographical Union No. 90, that they be printed in THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL, that a page in our records be set aside for each, and that a copy be sent to the families of the deceased brothers.

DANIEL B. BARNES.

The following is the action of the Chattanooga News chapel on the death of its chairman:

On Saturday evening, March 9, 1911, at 6:30 o'clock, the spirit of our fellow workman and chairman of the News chapel, Daniel B. Barnes, responded to the call of "Time!" of the Great and Holy Chairman of all chapels. So sudden and unexpected was the call that his associates were profoundly shocked upon receiving the intelligence, as he had departed from the office but an hour previous, declaring he had so far recovered from his two weeks' disability that he felt fully capable of returning to work the following Monday. Alas! not even he suspected that the machinery of his life-typical of the Mergenthaler he had so long operated-was on the eve of a total collapse; that all of the vital parts were about to succumb to the inevitable wear and tear of a long term of splendid service.

If Dan Barnes had never been accorded the recognition due his manifold virtues, he surely received it now, in unstinted measure from his fellows. The chapel membership, in retrospective mood, realized that they individually had, silently, and as an act of unconscious cerebration, set him upon a high pedestal above the heartburning and divisions among themselves, and done homage to his sterling qualities. The recollection was soothing and refreshing that at times when indulging in heated criticisms, wherein possible injustice was done some member, Dan Barnes occupied the lofty elevation of their esteem immune. The welldeveloped religious element of his character contributed largely to their wealth of regard, for it was of that kind which challenged the highest respect and invited thoughtful consideration. others were enjoying the well-earned hours of rest, he was at work in the vineyard of his Master. Many changes and vicissitudes may come to this chapel in the coming years, but the memory of the kindly disposition, the conservative counsel and exemplary life of Chairman Barnes will remain with it, to cheer and help solve the problems incident to industrial life.

While

Oh, that I had enough that I would ne'er need print

Oh, that I had all the booze Kentucky has stilled: But it seems another destiny for me is willed.

If I had a million of cold metal plunks

And 1,000 quarts of Old Crow packed in my trunks,

I would sail away through life as gay as could be,
But none of these things e'er happen to me.

Once I thought I had reached the goal of bliss,
I had a barrel of rickeys and another of fizz,
And champagne flowed at my feet in a stream-
But I woke up-It was only a dream!
C. O. BURTON,

A LAMENT.

'Tis an awful thing, now ain't it, To be pounding on a "Merg" To earn an honest dollar

In a God-forsaken burg;
Where the "old man" is a miser

And the foreman who's a grouch,
Says if you don't set 2,000 lines
You surely are a slouch?

The mill is an oldtimer,

The fire used is gasoline,

And with that and the gas engine,

Believe me, life is some serene (?). You have to start the engine

Crank your head off every day; Fill up the gasoline tank,

And divers other things-mere play!

You have 100 pounds of metal,

Pigs? No, slugs and never dry, And every time you feed the pot You lose another eye.

The last man cleaned the spacebands once;
The foreman says he did,

But ever since he went away

They've been trusting to the kid.
The keyboard's wholly on the blink,
The chute spring's broke in two;
The starwheel's worn to nothing,

And the assembler isn't true.
The carriage is all jimmed and bent,
The elevator is not plumb;
The mold disk's warped and battered,
And the liners are on the bum.

The driving-clutch is working fierce,
The lock-up's rotten, too,

And every line that you send in

May bring a squirt before it's through.
The pot has got a leak in it,

The knives are all quite dull,
And when you reach the transfer point
There comes another lull.

She's all out of adjustment there
And pies most every line,
And you are mighty lucky

To get one through out of nine.
Second elevator bar is twisted,

And with a box bar doesn't fit;
The distributor-box is all bunged up
And just about to quit.

And when at last a line is through,
You've really got one made!
Just step behind and pound her out
With a 10-em ejector blade.
Then you get back to the keyboard,
Sometimes a letter drops-

You pi up all your spacebands,
And just then the distributor stops.

Yes, oh yes, 'tis truly lovely

When you are on the road,

To fall into a dump like this
And shoulder such a load.
The boss he will not spend a cent
To fix the old mill some-

Pay-day comes; you jump; he says:
"Won't work-he's another bum!"

-Respectfully dedicated to my good friend "Major Ozone. Wichita Falls, Texas, by Steve E. Parsons, Independence, Kan.

THE LINOTYPE.

In the newspaper office

Running the clock a race,
Are the linotype machines
Hitting up the pace,
Keeping all hands busy,
From the editor down
To the grimmed-face devil,
Known in every town.

ALFRED W. CHANNING.

THE JOURNAL MAILING LIST.

When a member requests a change in his JOURNAL address, he should give the name and number of the union with which he is affiliated, together with his present and former address.

Additions to the mailing list can only be made when received through the local secretary. Members not receiving the magazine should furnish the local secretary with their addresses.

Additions, corrections or alterations reported by local secretaries should be kept separate from other correspondence. When a member deposits his card, and his name is reported for the subscription list, the secretary should state where the member previously received THE JOURNAL, and give the name and number of the union with which he was affil

iated. When a member draws his card, is sus pended or expelled, or in any manner ceases to be an active member of the local, the secretary should request that his name be dropped from the mailing list.

A large number of those who take cards and remove to unorganized towns fail to renew their cards. To prevent loss in such instances, it has been decided that members holding cards, and located outside of the jurisdiction of a local union, must either deposit their cards with the nearest union and pay dues each month, or pay Interna tional dues in advance, in order to get THE JOUR NAL. Where a cardholder pays his dues to the local in advance, a specific report should be made by the secretary upon the case, in order that the name can be placed on the list and the magazine sent to the member for the time for which dues have been paid.

The 20th of each month is the latest date upon which changes for the succeeding issue can be made on our mailing list.

Upon request, secretaries will be furnished with a copy of the list of their members to whom THE JOURNAL is being sent.

All correspondence regarding THE JOURNAL should be addressed to J. W. Hays, Newton Claypool building, Indianapolis, Ind.
