CHEAP ENCYCLOPEDIA
NON-UNION PRODUCTION

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. IA, 1916.
To Organized Labor.
Greeting: Very attractive advertise
ments are appearing in the principal
magazines of the country, offering
liberal inducements and easy terms in
in order to push the sales of the
Handy Volume" issue of the Ency-
clopedia Britannica. The purpose of
this letter is TO call attention TO the
non-union conditions under which the
work is produced.
The printing and binding of the
Handy Volume issue of the Ency-
clopedia Britannica is done by the r.
R. Donelley & Sons Co., of Chicago.
and the J. F. Tapley Book Manufac-
turing Co., of New York. Both of
these concerns have been opposed to
the printing trades unions since the
inauguration of the eight-hour work
day in the printing industry, and have
been and are now operating nOn-union
establishments in all braches of the
printing trade.
We will appreciate it if you will
give publicity to the contents of this
letter in the columns of your interna-
tional or local labor paper, and also
instruct delegates to central bodies to
report the matter to their respective
local unions.
Thanking you cordially in advance
for your compliance with these re-
quests,
Fraternally yours,
A. P. SOVEY, President.
Walter N. Reddick, Secretary-Treas.

hostility to them had ended. They
violated, both legally and morally, the
contractual pledge that had been
given, that they could go about their
legal and moral right of organization
without hindrance or interference
Imposing on the good faith of the
Amalgamated and its leaders, the Of
ficials and interlocked directorates of
these corporations secretly imposed
upon their employees a fake service
contract which violated both the
spirit and letter of their former
pledge. When confronted with this
fraudulent master and servant con.
tract, the officials of the railways cor.
porations said they would agree to
nothing, except to have the fraud
tested in court of law, knowing that
to establish the fraud in a legal trial
would require two or three years, In
each Of many hundreds of cases.
"The thing was palpable trick to
drive self-respecting men into revolt,
and when the revolt had come, as the
corporation interests had designed
that it should come, advantage was
then taken of their own fraud, to
issue the defiance to trades unionism,
not only in the transportation busi-
ness of New York City, but in all
fields of organized labor.
"The organized labor movement of
New York City has responded to the
challenge in a way that assures vic
tory for the trades union movement of
the United States. A parade of the
men who struck at the call of Or
ganizer Fitzgerald showed approx
mately 10000 men in line. The strike
order, which thus completely par
alyzed the New York Railways and
Interborough' transportation, except
as professional strikebreakers could
keep it in crippled service, was ap-
proved instantly by the lebor fedora
tions of nation, state and city. When
the Morgan interests arrogantly re-
fused to arbitrate at the call of the
Public Service Commission, all the
trades allied in any way with the
transportation business of New York
declared their purpose to stand with
their brothers of the Amalgamated
Back of this immediate demonstration
Of labor's power and right was the
explicit warning. that the whole trades
union movement of New York, EN-,
bracing nearly one million workers
would refuse by all means at their
command to permit the street railway
men to be bullied back into industrial
slavery.
THE immense corporation, the IN
terborough, that has precipitated the
strike in New York City and put five
million people to inconvenience anC
expense and in danger of fatal acci
dent, has the meanest record fol
financial corruption and imposition
upon the public, which feeds it, of any
public service corporation in tn,

In addition to that, let us also hope

people will no longer tolerate cheap
