This frank comment by a student in a note to the I. T.U. Commission voices an experience common to many-perhaps all at some time in their careers-compositors: "I used to think that a job was not balanced unless the margins inside the rule or border were even all around—you know the result-very few of my jobs 'looked right.' I often used to think that a job looked as though it 'needed something'or was 'bottom heavy'-and other things of the kind, and now I know that in a good many instances the job simply lacked balance and proportion. The further along I get the more I congratulate myself on having decided to take the Course.' As this perplexed printer intimates, The I. T. U. Course will show you how to set jobs and ads that "look right; and, better still, you will be told WHY they should be set that way. The "needed something" will be placed within your reach in the most fascinating way. The lessons, the criticisms, the advice are written and given by printers for printers, hence, are easily understood. One student says the Course is worth "ten times the price," while another writes: "I like your way of imparting information in your criticisms, and think a man who can't profit by them has only himself to blame." Learn the HOW and the WHY of good typography by taking the Course now. It is the greatest, the best and, thanks to the I. T. U., the cheapest trade educational system extant. For full information, write The I. T.U. Commission 120 Sherman Street, Chicago, Illinois The price, $20.00; $5.00 down and $5.00 a month till WHEN WRITING TO ADVERTISERS PLEASE MENTION THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL. The Typographical Journal J. W. HAYS, Editor and PUBLISHER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA ENTERED AT THE POSTOFFICE, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, AS SECOND CLASS MATTER Note and Comment WHILE waiting for those riproarious prosperous times that are "to come in the near future," let's boost the labels of the various union organizations with an increased vim. OUR members purchasing smoking tobacco or cigarettes should see to it that the packages bear the tobacco workers' label. Where these packages do not also show the union label on the printed matter, stickers might be attached to the empty containers and returned direct to the manufacturers. THE originators of the I. T. U. Course in Printing have firm grounds now for treating it as an assured success. It has passed from the project stage into that of recognized necessity. Already many printers who have taken the course have had their improved skill recognized by the employer in a material increase of wages. ANOTHER Sanatorium tent model has been constructed by the Union Printers Home carpenter. It was loaned to Typographical Union No. 103 and shown at the exhibit of printing held at Newark, N. J., last month. The first model was presented to the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis some months ago, to be used in its warfare against consumption and as illustrating the open-air methods in vogue at our institution. This second tent, with its accompanying paraphernalia, will be loaned to subordinate unions of the International body upon request made to the executive council. NUMBER FIVE THE annual report of the management of the United Brethren Publishing House, of Dayton, Ohio, shows that it cost that concern about $18,000 the past year for the privilege of running on a non-union basis. Of course, the agent attributed this result to the "financial depression,” but those in a position to know declare that it was the natural outcome of trying to operate a large printing plant with “free and independents." THE introduction of an old age pension measure in congress by Representative DeArmond, while it probably has little chance of ever seeing light again, indicates the trend of thought among many thinking men. It may be the entering wedge of legislation whereby the life of every citizen may be made secure by the government. As a result of the active label campaign being conducted in the jurisdiction of Pittsburg Union No. 7, A. Guckenheimer & Bros., distillers, have given an order to Rising & Radcliff, printers of that city, for 1,000,000 bottle labels, with the label of the allied printing trades council printed thereon. THE annual convention of the New England Allied Printing Trades will be held at Lynn, Mass., June 8 and 9. It is of the utmost importance that every typographical union in that jurisdiction be represented at the gathering. IT HAS been demonstrated that advanced knowledge of the printing trade can be gained through the correspondence method. THE advertising manager of the Saturday Evening Post recently appeared before the Board of Trade of Washington, Pa., in the interests of his periodical, urging the necessity for municipal publicity. He declared that every town must have some specialty, just as the manufacturer or merchant has, and must push it. Typographical Union No. 456 was alert, as usual, and entered a protest against the Washington Board of Trade giving any advertising to the Curtis Publishing Company so long as it refused to recognize the typographical union and give employment to its members. THE St. Louis Star, in its issue of Sunday, April 18, devoted a page of its magazine supplement to a writeup of St. Louis Typographical Union No. 8, which included halftone likenesses of its present officers and members of the executive committee. Part of the article was devoted to a resumé of the benefit features of the parent organization. Perhaps it is not generally known that No. 8 is the oldest trade union in the state of Missouri, having been chartered by the National Union July 4, 1856. It thus has a long and honorable record, with a present membership of 1,100, estimated to be 90 per cent of the competent printers in its jurisdiction. ALL of the big captains of industry predict that 1909 will be a record breaker in the matter of prosperity. This on the authority of a leading metropolitan newspaper. Probably those workers in several lines of industry that have recently suffered a severe cut in wages have different views on the subject. For our part, we fail to see how prosperity can return during a period of wage reductions and a constant increase in the cost of living. "captains" please enlighten us? Will the JOHN W. KELLETTE, financial secretary of Rutland (Vt.) Union No. 326, has written two songs, one of which, "Rosebud," is being published by Shapiro, of New York city. The other composition is entitled "Champlain," and was dedicated to the tercentenary celebration and adopted unanimously by the joint commission of that body as "the official chorus of the centenary." The Euphonie Music Company, of Rutland, Vt., will publish this song. THE Mergenthaler Linotype Company is preparing to put a machine on the market equipped with Arabic characters. The Arabic language has twenty-eight letters in its alphabet, and a full font of type would contain 350 characters. The new machine will cut this number to 190, and will have that number of keys of one face. This will more than double the number of keys used on the English-language machine, which is ninety. |
