Improvement OF conditions and EN-

Organization and strengthening OF
subordinate unions OF the intefna-

an earnest endeavor TO secure and
- he
tos union endeavors and purposes; and
In general active cooperation with the
Officers OF the International Typo
graphical union, and,
Whereas. we oppose the method
now adopted BY many business inter-
ests of sending out of their district for
their printing. and deprecate the idea
OF them thus indirectly working
against their community, and.
Whereas, we oppose unequiyoeally
/ the outrageous system of giving the
printing OF corner cards on envelopes
to central shop working non-union
labor at cheapest rates and call upon
all unions In this jurisdiction TO write
+ the postmaster general TO vigorously
fight for no further contracts being
/ given to any firm for this work, but to
let the printers of the whole country
have whatever benefits there is In the
business. and.
Whereas, il is our belief that prices
! for advertising and job printing in
this jurisdiction are entirely too low,
and we pledge our hearty and vigor-
GUS aid to the employers and shop
owners in any effort they may make
to raise rates to a more equitable ba-
sis. and,
Whereas, il is evident that the con-
dition of the country printer has not
improved in comparison with other
luades. and il is our belief that every
thing available should be done by the
Typographical conference to aid him
In his effort to better his condition,
Therefore be II resolved. that copies
of these resolutions be sent to all
unions within our jurisdiction and
furnished to the daily press of the
states for publication.
