In this, mornings yirgipian oeeprs the fol-
lowing comment ;sdF ess3 aas aiHd3 D. sef1
eff the author Intends by the above that
the Virginian ever sought by the Combination
of employers to reduce fthe, wages oflprinters
permanently, or for any length Of time,awith-
out the consent Of the Typographical Union
the statement is false. . 1.s sssl3qrf fsi
when The proposition was made, it was
agreed to by the employers of every Office but
the Combined Circulation, Whose! proprietor
thought the price lop enough, and after~ ards
gave to bis hands, as a reason for failing to
agree to the proposition, that, the price con-
tinued, would kill the Nrgimian. g. Our propo-
sition was made for the benefit Of all Of tie
employers Of Norfolk, and was rejected upon
the selfish and iiiberal grounds that the Viz
ginian's continuance depended upon the geefic7
tion of the price paid its hands p. 20.
The extract from the Day Book iaffirms that
''the Virginian, some time ago, attempted to
reduce the rate of wages."aiaF This is admitted
when it says" When the proposition was
made, it was agreed to by the employers of
every office but the Combined Circulation. - !"
But particulars are entered into about which
We knew nothing, and asserted nothng,uviz:
about the permanently of the proposed" COM
blnation"T7 which was not to be made against
the consent Of the typographical upien.i All
that we affirmed, uponidormaton, was, that
an effort was made to reduce the rate Of wa
ges-which is not denied eng - = e.saf..
The Hypothesis, therefore, which the Vir-
snian Institutes, does not affect us7v7amd only
needs this notice from US because Of its SEEM
ing rudeness-and for the purpose Of aehning
our position, which we shall maintain, intact,
under all circumstances, when conscious s,f 20
wrong to- others. i7ssim bUR ,asHssi4 gdl sssna
