THE BOOKBINDERS.
Strong Resolutions Adopted Against
the Wrong Doors.

The BOOkD1n0erS Union last evening
| took strong ground against the great
wrong enacted by the Governor and
| abetted by certain journals. The reso-
/ buttons adopted are as follows:
| Whereas, James H. Budd. Governor
| of the State of California, has seen fit
| to strike out Of the general appropria-
/ ton bill all items for the maintenance
of the State Printing Office, giving as
| his reason for SO doing desire to act
as a stumbling block to the lavish ex-
| penditure of public moneys, while the
real object of his action was to give
vent to his intent to harass and hamper
the Superintendent of State Printing
in the MANAGEMENT of the institution
under his control, and
| Whereas, The Superintendent of State
| Printing is statutory officer, elected by
! the people, and is charged with the per-
| Torrance of certain duties that are ne
cessary to the conduction of various de-
partments of the State, and
| Whereas, The system of State text
book publication. in which all the people
of the State are directly interested, and
which has proved to be of great benefit
| to all, is as directly menaced by this
as if the school book combine had
prompted his course, and
Whereas, Although it has been ap-
parent to the public that there has ex-
listed a personal difference between the
| Governor and the Superintendent of
| State Printing for some time past, as
shown by his constant refusal TO sign
pay-rolls for the office it is equally as
| apparent that the Governor has eXer-
cised his executive power in manner
calculated tOinjure a great State insti
tuition, regardless of the best interests
of the taxpayers of the State, and
Whereas, The result of Governor
Budd's action will be to throw out of
employment many mechanics who are
dependent on their labor for the support
of themselves and families and many
women who are now the mainstays of
their families, and
/ Whereas, The San Francisco "Chron-
/ icle" has persistently opposed the sys-
tenn of State publication of text books
and has repeatedly Endorsed the system
of public printing by private contract,
and in its editorial article of April Sd,
has maliciously and untruthfully as
! sailed the mechanical departments of
the State Printing Office gloats over the
prospect of its doors being closed and
upholds Governor James H. Budd in his
action, which would open an avenue for
the booking to plumber the citizens of
the State as of yore and again fill the
halls of legislation with its corrupt lobby
! and
Whereas The various attacks against
/ ypal ~ mi orb iy,,n nd
again been demonstrated by official inves-
tigation to be untrue and an unjust re-
1 Election on the mechanics employed on
said work. Therefore be it
| Resolved. That Sacramento Book
binders Union No. 80. in meeting as
sembled deplores the fact that the chief
executive of the State of California has
by his action sacrificed the best inter-
ests of the people of the State to crafty
| his desire to revenge himself on the
| Superintendent of State Printing who
| has proved himself a capable and eff
cient public officer and friend of organ
| lied labor; and be it further
| Resolved. That as the interests of or
ganiZed labor and those of the citizens
] at large are identical we deem it our
duty as union men and citizens anxious
! for the welfare of our State to denounce
| such an illadvised course as the Gov
| ernor has pursued and we call on all
good citizens of the State to indorse our
position in the premises; and be it
| further
| Resolved, That we condemn the edi-
| torial opinion of the San Francisco
] Chronicle as detrimental to an eco
nomcal administration of public affairs
| and calculated to poison the minds of
/ the general public; and be it further
| Resolved, That we call on union men
and their sympathizers throughout the
State to take eognizance of the situa-
| ton and hasten to voice their opposi-
! ton to the action of the Governor and
| such public journals as indorse his
course; and be it further
| Resolved, That copies of these resolu-
tons be given to our sister organizations
| in this State and to the press under seal
of this union.
| JOS. H. YOUNGER, President,
| Frank Cooke, Secretary.
