Out Of The Union

At the regular October meeting of Arm Arbor Typographical Union, ïfo. 154, the Courier office in this city, was closed to union printers For several years this office has employed cheap help, and the quality of their work has suffered in consequence, but about a year ago they promised to pay union wages to union printers, providing the union would declare their's an opn office. This request was complied with, but as frequent complaints were made that they were not living up to the agreement, an investigation committee started out to learn the truth of the matter. The mangement infdrmed the comraittee that they could not and would not pay the scale of prices, that 20 cents per thousand ems was all they could afford to pay and compete with the other offices. As the other offices cheerfully pay 30 cents, and succeed, this statement of the Courier has no argument in it. It is hoped that people who have printing to be done wiü look at this matter in the true light and take their work to the offices who favor fair and honest wages
