The Strike of fh.. ShuckerA.

The only development in the Norfolk
oyster shuckers' strike Thursday MAS
the quitting of seventy-seven hands
employed by Hopkins & co. This num-
Der Of union men walked out Of this,
packing house upon being informed that
IN and after next Monday the firm
would employ no shucker belonging to
the union.
All the packers OF Norfolk. Ports
mouth and Berkeley are said to have
taken a firm stand against the union
Not Il single union man Will be employ
cd by any of the packing houses after
tomorrow. When Mr.. Hemingway,
o. Hemingway & Company lead
ing packers Of this section. was
asked Yesterday if there was a posi-
biiity of settling the trouble with the
;mion il the latter would agree to abide
by all regulations of the packers. re-
piled that no agreement would be made
with tie union as such, but union
shuckers who had Quit work would be
taken back il they would rennuncc all
connection with that organization. No
concession whatever would be made to
the union.
Mr.. Hemingway was surprised that
the union leaders denied responsibility
Tor the strike. Of course they did not
previously order this particular strike.
he said. but the union had made such
regulations, etc. governing its members
in their work that it was understood
that all union men should walk out. if
their leaders in the packing houses
gave the word. These leaders were dis
charged. ard the strike Of the union
Sh,,ckcrs was the natural consequence
Of the unions action.
It is expected that tho union Will hold
out for a while, at least. Some Of the
packers believe that the union shuck-
crs have inundated non-union men.

Good Printing Cheap.

The statement that "chefLp printing is
not necessarily poor printing may be
questioned by some printers who have
not kept pace with the advance of the
times. The introduction of labor-saving
machinery in the modern printing Of
flee has had the effect Of reducing the
cost of the output and at the same time
improving it's quality. Printers who have
not kept step with the times and
equipped their plants with the labor-sav-
ing devices are still compelled to make
cheap printing poor printing.

The First Impression.

With School Catalogues, from which
the possible patron will receive his or
her first impression Of the character of
the institution the publication represents,
it is of the most vital Importance that
the printed matter be of high order Of
excellence, so that this first impression
will not prejudice the recipient against
the institution, but rather give the i'm
preston that everything connected with
it is of the best-even to it's annual cata-
logue.

How We Do 1t.

OF late years we have made spe-
c1alty Of school printing, and especially
the printing of Annual Catalogues for
educational institutions In order to fill
all the requirements we have invested
$4,000 in improved machinery for this
class OF Work-type-setting machines,
presses, binders, etc. This machinery en-
ables us to do the highest class Of work
at prices that would be impossible with
out it.

Effects of Good Printing.

If 1t is the aim of those who send out
Catalogues, Circulars, ETC., to impress
upon those to whom they are sent the
fact that what they offer is Of the best,
it is necessary that the printed matter
through which they speak should be Of
the highest class, nothing shabby, shoddy
or slouchy.
