Tits LETTERPRESS PRINTERS OP LIVERPOOL deem it incumbent
upon them at the present important period in the history of their
profession, to address you, with a view to secure your co-operation
in endeavouring to uphold the iights of labour.
It is to be regretted that we have among the Employers of Liver-
pool, men who, in dealing with those in their employ, violate every
Trade Regulation, whilst, on the other hand, they profess, through
the medium of the newspapers printed by them, to be the strenuous
upholders of the true interests of 'he sons of toil. As we judge of
men by th.ir actions, and not by the utterance they may give to cer-
tain sentiments, we respectfully make this app to ourow-
workmen, and call up in them to
'thew their uttereal contempt feenob
hypocritical cant, by ceasing to purchase newspapers not found in
the subjoined list.
We feel confident that by adopting the course we recommend, you
can afford us invaluable aid, in our endeavours to overthrow that
power which s:eks to reduce the members of our profession to the
condi,ion of serfs.
Our hope is that you will see the propriety of cheerfully acceding
to obr tiroposition, inasmuch as we do not call npon.you to-make-1
any sacrifice. neither debar yon trim purchasing.at a theap rate, the
L. 5 Of the day; for in the list appended hereto ample room is
given for selection, the proprietors of which. we have pleasure in
statlng, act up to the Rules that we have adopted for•our guidance,
and are therefore worthy of your warmest support, which we trust
Yell will willingly give.
We have on former occasions called your attention to the course
adopted by some Trade and Benefit Societies, in giving thcir work
tothose employers who pay very low wages, or employ boy labour in
the execution of their work. We are not ignorant of the favourite
statement used by many of the working classes with regard to this
batter, that the work so done is at a cheap rate. This we consider
Chea fallacy, inasmuch na inferiority of workmanship is no proof of
apness. But supposing such to be the case, we ask you to con-
by an endeavour to save a trifling sum; and further, the amounts of
sUPport you give to those empl g
oyers who are antaonistic to our
Idvancement.
Respectfully calling your careful attention to the foregoing,
We remain on behalf of the Trade,
JOSEPH ASHTON, President.
WILLIAM GOODIER, Vice-President.
