TYPO SCALE IN FORCE

IinOtypes MI Ovef CIty Now WORKING
Under Agreement of = Years, Ago
Beginning to-day, the weekly wage
scale for linotype operators prevails in
all printing plants of the city. The
piecework rate, which was used in the
State printing contracts and at one of
the newspaper plants of the city, is
discontinued, according to the agree
ment signed two years ago by the local
Typographical Union. 1t was not then
put into effect because of State con-
tracts.
The effect of the new scale on the
amount of wages paid cannot be def
nitely determined Immediately, but it
is said that efficient typesetters will
be paid in proportion to their former
earnings and will not be at any loss
through the weekly scale. The mini
mum weekly scale paid to linotype
machine operators is $2f.
