MAKE YOUR UNION PAY

. THROUGH ITS PRINTING—PART OF THE COST OF YOUR FIGHT. J FOR THE IMMEDIATE REAL!- J ZATION OF BETTER AND MORE 1 ■HUMANE CONDITIONS AND 1 THE FILIAL EMANCIPATION OF i YOUR CLASS FROM THE I THRALDOIVS OF CAPITALISM, I [»w—UAnf ■a«*r.TO.C' T mod m tr mwf r - r^__vwxmft^ctild.^if*.tff

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 IVlay Be a SmaSS On© but that is Reason for Being Careless as to Where it Goes. As Pennies ftftake Pounds Here Small Profits Sweli' the' Aggregate for the Constant Advancement of Labor's Cause Why pay an alleged friend for a job on which he may make a profit of 12s. 6d. for his sole benefit—even IIPl!?"'' if you should 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 iii 2s. 6d. and you will be giving better conditions to some of your fellow Workers and at the same time contributing pi-obably 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 JUmpF*' 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. SomehoNv these •'friends " —these *' good fellows" —sometimes get into the good graces of one or more of your members, and your union's printing always goes to their shops, regardless of price. Why is this ? Have you ever inquired ?

I Is owned and controlled by the WORKING- CLASS. It is | fflj YOUR institution. Therefore give it a chance, at least. § |pj For the sake of argument—supposing you did pay a little ||j more for your printing': What difference would p| J|ti|r*' that make ?If there were any difference it would |j| be for YOUR own benefit—because all the profits ||| made are used in YOUR interests, for YQUR class, to ||| strengthen YOUR, influence. But, as a matter of fact, you f|§ do NOT pay more here. Our facilities are ample to turn J9& out work as good and as cheaply as in other well-equipped jj ||| and well-established shops. In some instances our facilities §W t are even superior. Our workmen are of the best. Such Ipi conditions do not necessitate 'Charging exorbitant prices. I j|| But it is impossible to meet the prices of competitors who ||| regard all. above the cost of wages as profit, who operate I i|| their plants longer hours and whose office expenses are not I &§i (reckoned. * ■ ' IHP Some proprietors of print-shops man their own shops, hold | fflft the best paying gobs. Under the conditions do §p| they strictly observe union rules ? Or do they j |j| undermine union conditions wrung from the ||| employers by the militant members of the union ? j|| Rumors are circulated just to destroy confidence in your If own plant—to damage YOUR institution:- Are m !P§r* you going to do the bidding of these enemies ? m Will you allow any of your members to use your BR ' funds in this manner ? Surely not P j|| 1 Remember that ALL the profits of printing done in this M § shop are ALWAYS used to help spread the wage- M I HUsT* workers' demands for economic justice, to secure || § laws* and legislation of benefit to YOU, and to £ M I mould public opinion in favor of YOUR cause. gw. I Remember, also, that the "WORKER" Printery ia the j« 1 ONLY Printing Office in New Zealand that has I|| 1 SOT* granted the hours and wages demanded by the :|| I several Printing Trades Unions —refused by your - -ii I enemies—the Employers and the Arbitration Court. m 1 Get estimates from us on all your printing, examine some || ■ 1 of the samples of our work, and we feel convinced jl ' I IPP"" that you can come to but rone decision—that it W 1 pays to make your printing do 'double duty. . *j| ' J Instruct Your -Committees to Place Your g I Orders With us. .
