PRINTERS STRIKE
Which Accounts for the Punky
Appearance of To days Pa
per "A Staten ent'

For the last six years, the LEADER
has been employing none but union
printers in its mechanical department.
For the last three years, the scale OF
prices has remained unchanged, being
governed by a contract entered into
between the Typographical Union and
the LEADER, one Of the provisions Of
which being that at no time should
scale be changed by either party with
out giving the other party TO the con
tract at least thirty days notice Of
the contemplated change. On Sun
day, the 29th inst, the Union served
notice on the LEADER that they had
Increased the scale TO 90 into effect at
once. The LEADER claimed the thirty
days noticeu under existing contract
The matter stood thus until this
morning when the men employed in
tins office renewed the demand Of an
increase Of wages TO commence imme
diately. The LEADER still claimed
the thirty days notice under existing
contract, whereupon the employees OF
the Office, unanimously, walked out.
We make this explanation as an
excuse for the limited matter in this
issue. BY the end OF the week we eX-
pect to present our customary appear
ance. We take this opportunity'to in
form our friends and patrons that.
while we prefer union labor, we must
demand that it be done according to
contract, and any changes IA the scale
must also be made according to the
same contract.
