- THKOU<§H ITS PRINTING—PART OF THE COST OF YOUR FEGHT FOR THE IMMEDIATE REALIZATIONS OF BETTER AND ftiORE HUMANE .* 'CONDITIONS AND THE FINAL: EMANCIPATION OF YOUR CLASS FROM THE THRALDOM OF CAPITALISM.

Have the profits made on It go, not to enrich any individual, but to help carry-on your AGITATION to build up your organisation. Your Order EVlay Be a Small One but that is No Reason for Being Careless as to Where it Goes. As Pennies Make PoundsE-SereSmail Profits Swell the Aggregate for the Constant Advancement of Labor's Cause Why pay an alleged friend. J£i for a job on which lie may make a pi'ofit of 12s. 6d. for Ms sole benefit—even £§SHP* if V Oll ahoTiild otherwise pay £1 2s. 6d. for the same job, on which the probable profit of 15s. goes, not to the individual, but to extend the influence and strength of organised labor?. Pay the .£1 and some individual may make 12s. 6d. Pay the £1 2s. 6d. and you will be giving better conditions to some of your fellow Workers and at the same time contributing probably as much as 12s. 6d. to your cause. Which is the better way ? There may be a hidden purpose in the apparently lower prices of some of these alleged friends. These UplUP' ,. alleged friends may be antagonistic to your interests in many ways and may quote low prices just to injure or even destroy the very institution which always stands and fights for you. Somehow these - f friends"— these " good fellows" —sometimes get into the good graces of' one or more of KfUfP* , your members, and your union's printing always goes to their shops, regardless of price.. Why i> thie? Have you ever inquired?

THE

is owned and controlled by the WORKING CLASS. ■ It is YOUR institution. Therefore give it; a chance, at least. For the sake of argument—supposing you did pay a little more for your printing: What difference would JfPlffr*' that make.? If there were any difference it would be for YOUE own benefit—because all the profits made are used in YOUR interests, for YOUR class, to strengthen YOUS, influence. But, as a matter of fact, you do NOT pay more here. Our facilities are ample to turn out work as good and as cheaply as in other well-equipped and well-established shops. In some instances our facilitiesare even, superior. Our workmen are of the best. Sucli conditions do not .necessitate charging exorbitant prices. But it is impossible to meet the prices of coanpotitors who -. regard all above the cost of wages as profit, who operate their plants longer hour 3 aad whose office expenses are not reckoned. . Some proprietors of print-shops man their own shops, hold the best paying jobs. Under the conditions do ||||§li s °" they strictly observe union rules ? Or do they undermine union conditions wrung from the employers by the militant memibers of the union? Rumors are circulated just to destroy confidence in your own plant—to damage YOUR institution. Are SPIT* you going to do-the bidding of these enemies? Will you allow any of your members to use youi funds in this manner ? Surely not ? Remember that ALL the profits of printing done in this shop are ALWAYS used to help spread the wagejßS^" , workers' demands for economic justice, to secure laws and legislation of benefit to YOU, and to mould public opinion in favor of YOUR cause. Remember, also, that the "WORKER" Printery ia the ONLY Printing Office in New Zealand that hae §BtP"* granted the hoora and wages demanded, by the several Printing Trades Unions—refused by your Employers and the Arbitration Court. Get estimates from us on all your printing, examine some of the samples of our work, and we feel convinced IBSSP"* that you can come to; but one decision. —that it pays to niake your printing do double duty. instruct Your Committees to Place Your : Orders'With'us.' j P,O.
