The whistle blows the signal for the work to start. The switch is turned on by which the large presses are set in motion to begin the daily output, of printed matter. 'In front, of each of these gigantic machines stands a press- nian watehing its rapid movements to prevent anything: from going wroiw. Anyone passing by such a shop at this time. as he gazes through the wintlm' and sees a line of pressmen attending to their duties. must re- ceive the impression that the toil of these men is as monotonous as that of any other laborer. lie is lead to think. when he sees all the presses in action, that the only task of the presslnan is to guard his press. But. to this type of workman and to anyone who understands printing. his labor is far more, interesting: than that of any other kind of trades man. Duringr the few hours it takes a press to run off a job his work is dull and uninteresting: but as soon as the morning run is over he be gins a task which is an art. His next duty is to put a job to press. Now the pressnlan's duties first connnence. It is his task to put the form of type and the press into such a condition that the new job will be printed perfect. To make the job print right the pressinan must nn- tlerstantl the art of ttnialwreadyfi This consists in discerning which part of the form is printing too heavy and which too light and then makingr the whole form print with equal amount of ml- or; also. in placingr the guides of the Dress in eorrect positions so that the job is printed squarely on the paper. Perfection in this art is the goal of the press- inan. lie knows that in order to rise among his tradesmen he must improve himself in this one duty. It is his ambition to excel in that quality of his work. which makes the presslnanis task different from and more interesting than that of any other laborer. iANTllnNY BEYER. Elie Zlimhing Jlnhwatrg in my Hump 61mm oRT WASHINGToN. the city of seven hills. is Psitnated on the west shore of Lake Michigan about twenty-five miles north of Milwaukee. It has 2 good harbor. not very large. but suitable for small fishing tugs. Beingr ideally situated for tishing. that business is its chief industry. There are about, five concerns carrying on this trade. The Delos Smith Co. is the largest. They have a large. steel. steam tug. a large store. and in addition have two trucks which carry fish to inland cities and towns. The men who go out in the boats are a hardy lot. In former days sailing vessels were used. and on choppy days it was a dangerous way to make a living. In modern days, however. the staunch steanl tugs make it nmeh safer. At 5:30 in the morning; you can see the little tiers plowing: out, in weather cold or warm. fair or stormy. The fishermen usually set their nets ot't' Sheboygan. because it is a noted tishing grounds. After settingr their nets they return home about 11:00. From then until two obloek they work in the shanties. helpingr to make, clean, and pack the Iish. Then at two tfcloek they . :Jail go out to tthaul in their catch. On a good day the Smith boat brings in as high as four thousand pounds, and on poor days as low as seventy-tive pounds. As I said before, it is a hardy trade, which demands hard work and sacritiee. li'reqnently the boats run into a heavy fog: which is usually accompanied by a rough lake. The families of these men experience much anxiety when their husbands and sons are out in a small tishinf.r tug. on a dangerous lake. and enveloped in a heavy fog. Sometimes it is as late as 1:00 before they come home on batl nights, Then in winter it is so cold at times that the whole boat is covered with ice. and the men are forced to work in the bitter eoltl, loweringr and 'aising: the nets. The Iishing industry is building up the city of Port Washington. and already is it widely known as a place where good tish are obtain- able. Many people come from Milwaukee to Port to buy tish. XVhen this city grows to be large in population and prosperity. it will owe its success largely to 0111' hardy fishermen. eEnwlum HIVETTMANN. Page Fifty .39me 9 2 9 Zeta: -- u ;
