any grievance that the bookbinders

subscription to The Wageworker. Per-
haps a word or two will be pardoned.
In the six years that The Wageworker
has been published the Typographical
Union has paid it about $3.50. During
that time The Wageworker has paid
out considerably over $4,000, more
than 80 per cent of it going into tho
pockets of members of the Allied
Printing Trades. During that same per-
iod of time the members of what now
constitutes The Wageworker chapel
have paid into the union in the shape
of dues about 25 per cent as much as
the union has paid for The Wagework-
er. We cheerfully acknowledge that
The Wageworker's policy has not al
ways been acceptable to every member
of No. 2O9, and we are glad of it.
That fact is proof that The Wagewors-
er is not trying to carry water on both
shoulders. But as financial proposi.
tion The Wageworker insists that it
will pay No. 2O9 to continue its sub
scription, because for every dollar the
union pays for the paper, the pap:r
will pay out twenty to printers and
their allied tradesmen. There are some
who do not like the editor-and of that
number there are few whose enmity
is rather to be courted than otherwise.
