CAXTON’S ART SCORNED.
BOOK WITHOUT PRINTERS.
AN AMERICAN FEAT
VANCOUVER, Nor. 24. A message from New York reports that the first book published without printers has been issued by Appleton’s. ... The book and job printers bowed today to me mandate of the International Typographical Union, and ended their week vacation which had tied up the city. This strike was marked by a great Labour battle as to whether the International Union could control the local membership. Many publications moved elsewhere before the recalcitrant locals gave in.
An earlier cable stated that Mr Roger Allen, a former president of the Publishers’ Association, predicts the perfection of a process which, would replace the present printing and engraving, and of new machinery which would abolish type composition.
