To The Honorable the Senate and House Of Representa
tires Of the State Of Infia a:
The undersigned, Journeymen Printers Of Indianapo
lis, most respectfully pray your honorable body to
reduce the price "f the public printing below the rates
now paid VIZ: 45 cents per thousand for compost
lion, and 40 cents per token for pressworkas they
convinced that would have the effect induce their
employers TO attempt to reduce their wages a
pondng standard. The prices now paid to Journeymen
the lowest living rates
The effect would also be most severely felt by the
country press. The prices paid by the State for print
ing have always been the standard for the country off
and reduction in accordance with the bill
der consideration, would be ruinous TO them.
Believing that your Honorable body disposed to
protect labor they trust deaf ear will not be tuass
10 this, their humble, but earnest request.
[Signed by thirfy-two Journeymen Printers.
