Have the' 1 profits made on it go, not; to enrich any individual- but to help carry oh your AcfiT ATI ON to build i u_>' your organisation. ' f Youp ©refer May Be a Small One j ' but that is Ho Reason fop Being Careless as fo Where it Goes. As Pennies Efiake Pounds Here Small I Profits Swell th& Aggregate fop j the Constant Advancement of Laboi-'s Cause, Why pay an alleged friend Jil, for a -job* on which hs may I make a profit of 12s:"6d. for his sole benefit—even--1 if you pay .£1 2s. 6d. for the same? ' job; jja. which the probable profit of 15s. goes, not* I to the individual, but to extend'the influence'and strength ■ organised labor ? Pay the <£l' and some individual may f. make 12s. 6d. Pay the J3l 2s. 6dl and you will be giving i 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 ? Thero may be a hidden purpose in the apparently lower ; prices of some of these alleged friends. These lUmp*" alleged friends may be antagonistic to your inter- -; ests in many ways and may quote low prices just to I injure or even destroy the very institution which always J - ■ stands aud fights for you. Somehow these •'friends'"-—these "good' —sometimes get into the good' graces' of one or more of •j your' members, and.your union's printing always r goesi to their shops, regardless of' prico.

Is owned and 'controlled''by the WORKING CLASS. It ia | : YOUR institution. Therefore give it a chahce, at least.' § ' For the sake' of afguirierit—supposing you did pay a little g more for your printing s What difference would that mate? If there wereany difference it would be for YOUR own benefit—because all the profits made are used in YOUR interests; for YOUR class; to strengthen YOUR influenced But, as a matter of fact, you' 8 do NOT pay more here. Our facilities-aro ample to turn out work as good and as cheaply as in other well-equipped arid well-established shops. In some instances our facilities ■'■ are even superior. Our workmen are of the best. Such f conditions do not necessitate charging exorbitant prices. i But it is impossible> to meet the prices' of conipetitbrs who • regard all above' the cost of wages as profit, who operate their plants longer hours arid whose ofilce expenses are not / reckoned. Some proprietors of print-shops man their own shops, hold ■ the best paying jobs. Urider the conditions do i they strictly observe union rules? Or do they i undermine union ( coriditibris" wrung froiri the* employers by the militant members of the union ? Rumors are circulated just to destroy confidence in your own plant—to damage" YOUR-' institution. Are ;; iPST* you going to do the bidding of these eriemieV? . Will you allow any of your members to use'your funds in this manner ? Surely not ?' . Remember that ALL the profits of printing done in this shop, are ALWAYS used'to help spread the wagei __%_$ L ~ 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 is the ONLY Printing Office in New Zealarid that haa granted'the hours and wages demanded by tho \ several Printing Trades Unions—refused by yonit: enenuea—the Employers and tho Arbitration Court. ; Get estimates from us' on; all your printing, examine some ; of the samples of our work, and 1 we feel convinced ! $®ffiP" that you can come to but one decision—that it \ pays to iriakc your printing do double duty. ■ • . . . . -'- - - : .
