CONVENTION OF PRINTERS.
The following pertinent remarks rela-
tive to meeting of the printers of Yer
mont were written by E. D. Barber, Esq.
for the MiddIebury Free Press in 1888.
believe the proposed convention never
assembled. In Virginia, North Carroll
ma and other States, meetings of the kind
have been proposed and have been followed
by the most salutary consequences, and
our brethren in New York and in Penn
sylvania will hold similar conventions the
present summer
What say you fellow craftsmen, now?
Will every publisher in the Stale say ave!
Let US hear the opinion OF the patriarch
ofathe profession, Major Fay, of Messrs.
Eaton, Stacy, Walton, Stone, Murray,
Drury, Bishop, Maxham-of all. If the
ma ority say Aye, let some one designate
the time and place.
" We propose to the PRINTERS of This
State TO hold convention at Montpelier,
sometime during the session Of the Legs
lature for the purpose of taking measures
to improve the business of the craft, by
establishing some definite rules with re-
gard to the price of printing, advertising
and other matters connected with the sub
ject. 1t is not designed by proposing this
Convention to encourage any combination
among printers to force the community to
pay them an exhor5itant price for any
printing or advertising which may be
necessary, but 10 come TO some understand
ing among themselves as to what will BE-
a reasonable compensation and no more,
for their work, and thus prevent the entire
ruin of the business to all engaged in it
No class of men are more important 10
society-no class exercises so great an
influence on the destinies Of the country
= as the class engaged in this profession
, it is therefore, of the highest moment to
the public, that they should be men o
independence and integrity-men of tai
ents, sound morals and sound views. Blu
so long as the business is suffered to g
q on In the down hill road to ruin in which
It it is going, it will never be what it ough
e to be, and it will eventually fall into tn
g hands OF those who are not, to say tn
least, the best men for the station. TIL
profession ought to be eoeU supported
e we do not wish it to be ert' GvagGmh
= patronized; and when this is done, an
1t not till then, will it become what, in jus
J. tice to the country and its institutions,
o should be.
!, We do not make these suggestion
because We expect to be individually ben
Gifted by them-we are not printer b
s profession, nor do we expect to be engae
r. ed in the business for livelihood bI
le we have the highest regard for the occr
N patton, and feel the Importance of It's be
n ing sustained in proper manner. ln
!, State, perhaps does the profession ran
J higher than in Vermont-we accuse n
o. one Of any maI-practces in the business
:; but we do think, Notwithstanding, th
ID much may be done by way of improve
ne nent in it, and cannot but hope this prof.
n ositon will be favorably received by thoS
- interested. We leave its expectancy, bow
- ever to the decision Of more experience
men than ourselves"
IS We would name tle fourth Wednesda
I'D Of October as the time FIR the meeting.
it What objection to the fourth Wedne
day Of October next at Montpelier, as II
ito time and place for the meeting?
