THROUGH ITS PRINTING -PART I OF THE COST OF YOUff? FIGHT I FOR THE IMMEDIATE REALI- | ZATION OF BETTER AND MORE I HUMANE CONDITIONS AND I THE FINAL EMANCIPATION OF I YOUR CLASS FROM THE I THRALDOM OF CAPITALISM. I H»Te the profits made on it go, not to eurieh any &n individual, but to help carry on your AGITATION to build Jm ap your organisation. || Your Order May Be a Small One |j but that is No Reason for Being n Careless as to Where it Goes. As P Pennies IV!ake Pounds Here Small || Profits Swell the Aggregate for || tho Constant Advancement of || Labor's Cause ji Why pay an alleged friend £1 for a job on which he xao,j ||j make a profit of 12a. Od. for his sole benefit— even Is §$B|P~ il' you should otherwise pay £1 2s. 6d. for the same jgj job, on which tlie probable profit of 15s. go<;s, not f|j to tho individual, but to extend the influence and strength jffl of organised labor? Pay the £1 and somo individual may pj make \2s. 6d. I:iy the £] 2a. Cd. and you will bo giving || bettor conditions to some of your fellow Workers and at Bα the samp time contributing probably as much a3 12.-! 6d. to W your cause. Whioh Is the hotter way ? Jig There may be a hidden purposo in tha apparently lower Eg prices of somo of those alleged friend h. These 1 alleged friends'may bo antagonistic to y> jr Inter- 1 eats in luai'i}' ways aud may quote low prieei just to ffl injure or even destroy the very institution which always g stands and tighta for you. H Somehow these ' iYionds " —these " good follows " — some- ffi times get into the good graces of one or more of JO , your uiomber , ;, and your union's printing always M goe3 to their -hops, regardless of price. Why ia Bfi thi* P Have you ever ii.cjuired ? |jj la owned and controlled by the WORKING CLASH. It ia E YOUR institution. Therefore give it a chance, at toast. $ For tho salte of argument—supposing- you did pay a little || more for your printing : What difforerco would that make ? If there were any differenco it would _ m be for YOUR owu benefit—because all t,l:c> profits y made are nsnd in YOUR interests, for YOUK riaas, to M strengthen YOUR influence. But, as a matter of ft.et, you | do NOT p:iy rooro here. Our facilities are ample to turn | out work us good and as cheaply as in other wel'-»qnipped | and well-establiahed shops. In some instances our fucilitios J are oven superior. Our workmen are of the best. Such || conditions do not necessitate charging exorbitant prices. | But it is impossible to meet the prices of competitors who § regard all above the cost of wages as profit, who operate hi their plants longer hours and whose office oxpeiwo;i are not a reckoned. R Some proprietors of print-shops man their own shops, hold *J the best paying joba. Under the conditions do '; they strictly observe union rules? Or do they | undermine union conditions wrung from the employers by the militant members of the union ? S Eumors are circulated just to destroy confidence in your \ own plant—to damage YOUlt institution. Are f. $fgs*~ you going to do the bidding of thcae ouomies ? p Will you allow any of your members to nee your * funds in thie manner ? Surely not ? Eemember that ALL the profits of printing don ft in this shop are ALWAYS used to help spread the wageHEir* workers' demands for economic justice, to secure \ laws aud legislation of benefit to YOU, and to A mould public opinion in favor of YOUB. cause. | Eemember, also, that the "WORKER" Printevy is the | ONLY Printing Office in New Zealand that has \ graiitc-d the hours and wages demand id by the several Printing Trades Unions —refuscl by your enemies—the Employers and the Arbitration Court. Get estimates from us on all your printing, exia.iiue somo j of the sample? of our work, and we fw! convinced fl3f* that you can coino to but one decision that it pays to mate your printing dv double duty.
