PRINTERS PAY.
The Advantages Of Labor Unions.
rs. F. Chronicle


rs. F. Chronicle.l
The official report of the investiga-
ton into the condition of labor in
printing establishments of this city
and Oakland has just been issued in
pamphlet form. The investigation
was recently conducted by Labor
Commissioner Tobin, and the results
are given in condensed form. He
says:
In most of the printing houses of
San Francisco due regard is paid to
cleanliness, light, ventilation, ETC., but
some hold sacred dust and dirt, with
their live concomittants. Separate
water-closets for the sexes and proper
washing facilities are not alwys pro-
vided. In few effices situated in
the neighborhood of down town mar
kets the prevailing odors are not con-
ductive to health or comfort. The lo-
cation is not q matter of choice, but
of necessity, in consequence of the
facilities for steam power afforded
there.
Commenting on apprentice labor,
the commissioner says: apprentice
labor il but another term for cheap
labor. II will be found in the end
that the after is not the msst profit
able. Cheap labor is the friend of the
unproductive. but II is spoliator of the
industrious classes, employers and
employees alike. There can be ne real
or lasting progress in q community
where the labor of men and women 10
displaced by the introduction of boys
and girls" Regarding the complaint
of Bacon & Co. that the Topographic
cal Union fixes $1s q week, when "a
man may he willing, glad to work at
steady situation for $l2 or el6,"
Commissioner Tobin says: at Is hard
to believe men with glad hearts will
work for such firms ut two-thirds the
rate of wages paid to their fellow
craftsmen in other establishments. "
In conclusion he says: mo wonder
that printing firms paying standard or
union wages find it hard and unprotit-
able To compete with establishments
like the Pacific Press, Bacon Il Co,
etc. which pay lower wages aud have
an unlimited number of apprentices. "
The report shows that there are 252
printers engaged in job printing Off
ces, of whom lly are union men and
1873 n0n-union men. and after review.
ing the testimony the Labor COmmis.
Sioner concludes rs follows: "The tes-
timony clearly demonstrates tho ad-
vaniages to be derived from organiZa-
tion. Female compositors not MEM
bers of the Typographical Union earn
from 81 To $40 week, while members
earn double that amount. No wonder
the latter testified favorably rs to the
advantages to be derived from MEM
bership. All bore witness to the
friendly feeling which existed between
the men and women of the TypOgraph.
ical Union. Ifworking women would
take lesson from the example herein
set forth and organize themselves inte
unions their coHditioa would be vastly
improved. Employers would then
not be so prone 10 tyraniZe over their
employees In the manner testified to
by several witnesses.

Several merchants in this county
and in our neighboring counties have
recently adopted the cash system, an
nouncing that they will give no cre-
dit to any one. 1t is gratifying to
know that things are progressing
towards cash basis among all class
es, and when the system becomes un-
iversal newspaper men will always
be found in good humor, neither
will they swear any more. The cre-
dit system has ruined many man.
The fishing sociable" is some
thing comparatively new and bids
fair to be all the rage this summer. 1t
isn't the kind of fishing sociable we
have been in the habit of attending
on the banks of the Slipperyrock, but
is great improvement on that affair,
and is about as follows: This being
leap year the ladies hold the rod. The
ladies occupy one room and the other
which is supposed to represent a
fishing ponds occupied by the gen.
tlemen, each of whom has q string
tied to his right hand. These strings
are passed through the transom and
tied to chair Each lady selects a
string, and whoever happens to be on
the end of it is to be entertained by
her during the evening. Ordinarily
the club meets at hotel, where fine
supper has been ordered and the lady
not only cntertains her "catch" but
pays for his supper. That sort of Q
sociable is bound to be popular with
| the Young men.

be based on the present rate of pen
sion received by the applicant. For
instance: II Il pensioner is now re
ceiving $25 per month, the amount
due would be computed at that rate

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Declared Adulterated Food and
their Sale Illegal.

The result of trial just conclu led
at Canton, n Y, before Judge kel-
logg, will have salutsry effect in
checkin, the sale of ono class of adul-
terated food. Two men, named NJ BON
and Akerill, were arrested for selling
adulterated baking powde. in viola
ton of the State food adulteration act.
The indictment was for both selling
baking powders that were inferior,
adulterated and injurious to health by
reason of being made from alum, and
for selling them under pretense that
they were wholesome, cream of tar
tor baking powder A stubborn de-
tense was made, the claim being set
up that baking powders were not ar
ticles of food aud that the powder the
defendants were selling, which was
known as Gillett's, was standard
article of trade, and that alum baking
powders inferior to it, like Davis and
others, were being sold by other deal
ers in the same town without COM
plant. The Court held that baking
powders were articles Of food within
the meaning of the law, and the jury
found the defendants guilty upon all
the charges. The case has attracted
much attention from being the first
brought under the State Food Adul-
teration Act against dealers in alam
baking powders. The result of the
trial is to class such baking powders
as adulterated articles of food aud to
make their sale illegal There are
many alum baking powders put up il
cans, under some name or brand, il
addition to those sold in bulk, th'
sale of all of which cautious dealers
will probably be unwilling to contin
ue.

Last summer a crank obtained Ii
cense of the Burgess of Cleariield TO
to sell pictures in the town. While
so engaged member of the council
ordered the police to arrest the man
The fellow claimed that be was an
English subject and had the borough
authorities arrested and bound over
for trial in the L. S court. From the
first it was known the fellow had not
a ghost of chance to convict. yet the
Council had to appear and make de-
tense The case was promptly kick
ed out OF court at the cost OF the pres.
ecutor. So far so good, But when
the borough came to foot up the &C
counts, they found numerous orders
bad been issued to pay the members
of the council for their expenses to
Pittsburg, amounting to $l97 and
1923 for attorney fees. There is the
tallest kind OF kick on the part OF
tax payers, and we are not much sur
prised.
