We have been requested, on behalf Of the Journey
men Printers, to publish u manifesto signed The
printers Union" against the employment of women
in typesetting Having thus given them hearing,
we must ask them to listen few moments TO
Let us begin by conceding one point insisted on by
the Printers. They say they have right TO refuse to
work where women are employed in type-setting, and
freely admit it, 1t is certainly possible for them
to knock of abruptly, injuriOusly uDjusty but on
giving reasonable notice they have a right to quit
work and for any that saisact0ryto them
selves. They have further right to explain their
position to other ourneymen who may be solicited to
I'LL their places and convince them Cf they camp that
it would be wrong to do If they 90 beyond this,
and resort to violence intimidation, they break the
laws and deserve punshment-not otherwise.
Now a word on the other side. They say that
"the pretensions made BY the press" Of q desire to
meliorste the condition of Woman in this matter Of
type-setting base hypocrisy, put on to conceal
their designs to depress the liberty and reduce the
wages of the males" We beg leave very meekly
to demur to this sweeping elimination. w never
employed girls TO set type, and do not expect to
employ any. We do Mt want to ''depress anybodys
