THE PRINTERS TROUBLES. The Pa
cific Press Publishing Company has al
ways been thorn in the side of the Oak
land typographical union. The concern
does a big business and employs many
people, but its employees are mainly of the
Seventh Adventist religion and are paid
very small wages. The union had an
agreement with the concern by which only
union printers should be employed at
union wages when extra help was needed,
but it is now claimed that this agreement
has been broken and that the establish
ment has been getting its extra help from
San Francisco, and, while hiring union
men. it has taken only those who are be-
hind with their dues and could not deposit
their cards with the Oakland union be-
cause of this. The union also says these
men have not been paid union rates.
