THROUGH ITS PRINTING-PART OF THE COST OF YOUR FIGHT FOR THE IMMEDIATE REALIZATION OF BETTER AND MORE HUMANE CONDITIONS AND THE FINAL EMANCIPATION OF YOUR CLASS FROM THE THRALDOM OF CAPITALISM.

Hare the profits made on it go, not to enrich any jjg individual, but to help carry on your AGITATION to build Eg! ■p your organisation. || Your Order May Be a Small One ij but that is No Reason for Being I Careless as to Where It Goes. As 1 Pennies Make Pounds Here Small If Profits Swell the Aggregate for M the Constant Advancement of || f.abor'B Cause i yflpf pay an alleged friend XI for a job on which he may ffij _ make & profit of 12b. 6d. for Wβ cole benefit—even El [pffi' if you should otherwise pay Jsl 2s. 6d. for the Bame W job, on whioh the probable profit of 15a. goes, not |y to the individual, but to extend the influence and strength || of organised labor ? Fay the £1 and some individual may || make 12s. 6d. Fay the J6l 2a. 6d. and you will be giving M better conditions *to some of your fellow Workers and at || the Bame time contributing probably as much as 12s. 6d. to Bμ j our oause. Whioh is the better way P M There may be a hidden purpose in the apparently lower m prices of Borne of these alleged friends. These M alleged frienda may be antagonistic to your Inter- Ijj ests in many ways and may quote low prices just to M injure or even destroy the very institution whioh always Wj, ■tanda and fights for you. M Somehow these ''friends "—these " good fellows " —some- j|j times get into the good graces of one or moro of M your members, and your union's printing always 11 goes to their chops, regardless of price. Why is jt| this P Have you ever inquired ? §§ tv Iβ owned and controlled by the WORKING CLASS. It is SB YOUR institution. Therefore give it a chance, at least. || For tho sake of argument—supposing you did pay a little || more for your printing i What difference would M USUr* that make ?

In soma inatanoee our facilities M are even superior. Our workmen are of the beat. Such || conditions do not necessitate charging exorbitant prices. || But it ia impossible to meet the prices of competitors who |I regard all above tho cost of wages as profit, who operate W their plants longer hours and whose oifica expenses are not M reckoned. |j| Some proprietors of print-shops man their own chops, hold M the beat paying joba. Under the conditlone do M $fs* they strictly observe tinion rules? Or do they M undermine union conditiona wrung" from tho eft employers by the militant members of the union P H Eumors (jre circulated just to dostroy confidence in your M dwn pknt—to damage YOUE Institution. Are m gpp~ you going to do the bidding of these enemies? « Will you allow any of your members to use your M funds in this manner ?
