LADIES CONFER
Representatives Meet at Cincinnati
for Conference on Welfare of the
Organization.
CINCINNATI", 0., March 7. Rep
resentntives of the Allied Printing
Trades are gathering here today for
at three-day conference on matters
of moment to the welfare of the or
ganization. -
The conference follows a conven
tion of the printing trades and corn
meat has been aroused over the fact
that the conference should be held so
Boon after the convention.
Many persons interested in the
conference are inclined to believo
that it portends a demand by the
printers for increased wages. The
trade agreements with employers aro
soon to expire and it is believed that
& general walkout of men in the
printing shops will follow a refusal
ef employes to meet the demands of
ipw ami
The conference will be held at the
local offices of President Berry of
San Francisco. Berry recently was
re-elected president of the trades.
Many of the leading officers of the
printing trades will attend the con
ference which, it is predicted, will
aot end before Wednesday evening;
