Fay the £1 2a. 6d. and you will be giving Bβ ' better conditions to some of your fellow Workers and at B the same time contributing probably as much aa 12s. 6d. to BE [ '. your cause. Which is the better way ? " II- , ' There may be a hidden purpose in the apparently lower ll' ■ prices of some of these alleged friends. These |P| [ . v alleged friends may ba antagonistic to your inter- Bj esta-in many ways and may quote low prices just to raF injure or even destroy the very institution which always W& stands and fights for you. g» Somehow these "'friends"—these " good fellows ,, —some- il, times get into the good graces, of one or more - of .IK < your membex&, and your union's printing always iH goes , to their shops, regardless of price. Why M _ B Hide? Have you ever inquired? el ia owned and controlled by the WOREIIfa CLASS. It is jl YOUR institution. Therefore give it a chance, at least, j i For the sake of argument—supposing you did pay a little i i more for your printing : What difference would 11 that; make ? If there were any difference it would j1 be for TOUR own benefit—because all the profits 11 made are used in YGUB interests, for TOUR class, to «j strengthen YOUR influence. But, as a matter of fact, you || do NOT pay more here. Our facilities are ample to turn l|j out work as good and as cheaply as in other well-equipped J|| , and well-established shope. In some instances our facilities g$ ; are even superior. Our workmen are of the best. Such j|| conditions do. not necessitate charging exorbitant prices. il But it. is impossible to meet the prices of competitors who .|j| : regard all above the cost of wages as profit, who operate m, their plants longer hours and whose offloe expenses are not m reckoned. jm [ Some proprietors of print-shopa man. their, own shops* hold Wb the best paying jobs.

B Rumors are circulated just to destroy confidence in-your g. own- plant—to damage YOXTRI institution. Are Hp IMT , you going to; do the bidding of: these enemies? BJ. ..
