on earth—it’s for Waco.”
And that, Mr. Union Man, is proba-
bly the reason the Cotton Palace
welcomes you today and that you
welcome the Cotton Palace.
And that, Mr. Cotton Palace Man
and Mr. Ball Club Man and Mr. Y. M.
B. L. Man and every other Mr. Man in
Waco is the reason the “Texas”
doesn’t have to be tacked on to the
“Waco” in any spot of these great

where Waco is. That’s why Waco is
regarded the world over as a Live
Burg.
Everybody’s for Waco.

Union Labor and the Cotton Palace
Labor is participating in the cele-
bration of Union Labor Day without
reservation. The Cotton Palace asso-
ciation is their friend and it has proven
such on many occasions. Not a cloud
hovers today upon the mirror of their
relations—and this is more than can
be said of other expositions less than
101 miles away from Waco.
There are many reasons for the good
feeling existing between organized labor
and the Cotton Palace. The main one,
perhaps, is best explained by a local
labor leader, whose views may not be
strictly accurate, but won’t be found
very far wrong.
This labor leader says he believe the
Cotton Palace is still a friend to labor
because it has not degenerated into a
grubbing machine for money. Up to
now, he says, the association has been
strictly for Waco; the Cotton Palace
has been run for the good of the town
and not for the purpose of earning
money for private capital. Directors
put their whole soul into their work;
outsiders who are not directors work
hard for the good of the cause, realizing
that the Cotton Palace is Waco’s
greatest asset; people spend their
money for tickets ungrudgingly, know-
ing that if the Palace happens to make
any money it will go into a fund for
next year’s show, or for the purpose of
building greater and better expositions.
The directors do not employ union
labor, says this leader, because of any
big stick that labor holds over their
heads, but because they have come to
find that responsible labor is the best
kind to hire; the work is done in
proper shape, contracts are completed
on time—in other words, it’s better
business.
A director of the Palace expressed
practically the same view. He was
standing last night, looking over the
magnificent grounds. The light of
exultation shone in his eyes.
“Gee,” breathed this staid business
man, sinking his dignity in the joy of
the sight that spread itself before him.
The editor of the Boll was taking it all
in, too. “Gee,” he repeated. “Do
you know we’ve got a big-time show
here this year? When I compare it
with the Palace of as short a time as
two years ago—well—” Still the editor
was silent, in the spell of the exultation
of this man who had worked so hard to
build up the institution.
“I’m going to say something odd,”
the director said, suddenly: “I’m going
to compare this Cotton Palace to the
Waco ball club. Do you get me? No?
Well, the ball club is given unqualified
support by fans of every class because
they know it is being run strictly for
Waco and it’s a pennant winner. This
Palace is rapidly becoming a great
UNION REASON AND UNREASON
Typographical Union Will Arbitrate
All Disputes Hereafter
At the sixty-second annual conven-
tion, held in Baltimore recently, the
International Typographical Union a-
dopted an arbitration agreement with
the American Publishers’ Association.
The agreement runs for five years from
May 1, 1917. Within that period every
controversy between members of the
union and their employers is to be
-composed by arbitration. The agree-
ment contains provisions exempting
from arbitration the union laws in
operation on January 1, 1916, and re-
quiring the consent of both parties
before changes in those laws shall be
operative on existing individual con-
tracts; nor shall the arbitration agree-
ment be subject to such changes until
they- have been accepted by the Inter-
national Board of Arbitration.
The spirit of fairness, of justice,
of temperate deliberation, of willing-
ness to hear the other side which
characterizes this organization, breathes
through this compact. The public res-
pect which the International Typo-
graphical Union has long enjoyed is not
the fruit of a superior intelligence alone.
It is only too possible for intelligence
to be wrongly led to fall into the hands
of radicals and hotheads, to be unwise
in conduct and arbitrary in action.
The collective intelligence of the Inter-
national Typographical Union is high,
but it is accompanied, enforced, and
guided by a large perception of public
interest and public opinion. It does
not seek to rule or ruin. It never stoops
to violence. It is not a continual
threat and club against the employer.
It is conservative. It recognizes the
rule of reason. To some “labor lead-
ers” a union is the source of political
power, careless of the economic dis-
ruptions and losses, the public incon-
veniences, it may cause. It is a sort
of imperium in imperio, an unofficial
branch of the government, a power to
be used for power. A union like the
International Typographical Union is
a force for the benefit of its own mem-
bers without perpetual encroachment
upon the rights of others, without un-
duly magnifying its own.
The International Typographical
Union shows how a union should be
conducted. It believes in the deliberate
judicial method, not the dictatorial,
explosive, and infalibilit y-of-the-union
method. The contrast is instructive
at this time.—New York Times.
THE SHORTER DAY
The short workday is a condition
that must precede every other kind of
betterment—physical, economic or soc-
ial. The short hour worker has sufficient
physical and mental strength after the
day’s work is done to have ambition
and energy to be something more than
part of the machinery of production.
Decreasing the hours of work increases
the proportion of time that can be
given to recuperation and self develop-
ment and all of the other activities of a
normal human being. As a result the
short hour workmen become more com-
petent and productive workmen, and
their wages and standards are higher.
Higher wages give them the economic
means for taking advantage of the
increased opportunities possible through
greater leisure.—Samuel Gompers.
One way to improve your memory
is to do something you would like to
forget.—Ex.

the faster it grows.—Ex.

ledge—they go together.—Ex.

PANAMA FAIR
DIDN’T HAVE IT
Printing Exhibit Only One of Its
Nature in History of the
World.
Visitors to the Cotton Palace have
an opportunity to see an exhibit of
printing machinery that has never be-
fore been assembled at any fair in the
history of the country. The Panama
exposition was a great thing, marking
and epoch in the history of fairs and
expositions. But it did not have such
an exhibit.
The Texas Cotton Palace has gone
that fair one better. Through the efforts
of Waco Typographical Union, with
the co-operation of the Waco Book-
binders and Pressmen’s Union, there
has been installed in the Made-in-Waco
Building a complete printing plant,
including a cylinder press, folder,
Monotype, Linotype, Intertype and
other necessary material.
In addition to this exhibit there is a
display of printing showing the best
work of the Waco printers and allied
craftsmen. The intent of the exhibit
is to impress the visitor with the re-
sources of Waco, and to show him that
Waco is the logical place to have his
printing done. The Waco offices are
equipped with material to print any
kind of work. It is not necessary to
send out of the state to have anything
printed.
The Cotton Palace Boll is printed
daily in this office, the last edition
going to press at 5 o’clock. Visitors
are invited to view the other features of
the office.
“PULL FOR WACO OR PULL
OUT.” The printing establishments
in this city are prepared to do your
work, so why send it out of town? To
be convinced see exhibit of printing
machinery at the Cotton Palace Boll
office in Made-in-Waco building.
PULL FOR WACO OR PULL OUT.
Be a live one and have your printing
done in Waco. The PRINTER will
appreciate your patronage.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR PRINTING
DONE IN A GALVESTON OR DAL-
LAS NON-UNION SHOP? Keep Waco
money in Waco. Have your printing
done at home. We are prepared to
do it.
PULL FOR WACO OR PULL OUT.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO ENLIST
IN THE NATIONAL GUARDS TO
SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM. Patron-
ize home industry and keep the coin
in circulation in Waco.
DALLAS ELECTS
3 DELEGATES
Biggest Union of Printers in State
Will Send Men Here to See
Printing Exhibit.
The Cotton Palace Boll is attracting
statewide attention. When the idea
of installing an exhibit by Waco Typo-
graphical Union was first suggested,
it was not thought that the exhibit
would take on such great proportions.
However, the proposition grew as it
developed, and the result is an as-
sembled plant of modern machinery,
producing daily a paper that is full
of interest to exposition visitors.
Dallas Typographical Union, at its
meeting last Sunday, decided to send
a delegation of three men to the Waco
Cotton Palace for the express purpose
of viewing the exhibit of the Waco
allied printing trades. The following
letter, from Z. M. Duckworth, secre-
tary of the Dallas Typographical
Union, addressed to the editors of the
Boll, is explanatory:
“I read your telegram at the meet-
ing of the union yesterday afternoon.
Otto F. Bading, John Minor Jr., and
myself were chosen the official dele-
gation.
“As soon as a date has been set
aside that will be" convenient to us
all, you will be advised by mail or
wire.
“We wish to thank you for your
kind invitation and I am positive that
we will enjoy our visit very much,
as Waco is always kind to ‘strangers
within her gates.’”

Special Art Exhibit.
The special painting that will be
on exhibition in the art department
at the Cotton Palace tomorrow will
be loaned for this occasion by Miss
Mabel Chambers, who is one of the
best known art collectors in the
south.
This painting is simply known as
“A Portrait.” It was painted by
Frances Cramer Greenman, while liv-
ing at Minneapolis. This extraor-
dinarily clever young artist studied
at the Corcoran art school and won
a $100 gold medal at the age of 18.
She studied under Chase .of New
York, Benson of Boston, and also
spent three years of hard study at
Paris, Munich and Holland. Last
year she won a gold medal at the
Wisconsin State Fair, Laredo Taft
being one of the judges.
This is a wonderful piece of art
and will be greatly appreciated by
the large number of visitors to the
exposition tomorrow.
The art department was crowded
all day yesterday and is growing in
popularity each day.
The idea of exhibiting a loaned
picture each day is making a decided
hit.
