JOB PRINTERS CUT
70 PER CT. In WAGES
Arbitration Board Rejects En-
ployers' Request for 25
Per Cent. Drop.
BASED ON COST OF LIVING
Affects Five Branches of the
Trade-0thers Expected
TO Follow Soon.

Wage reductions averaging l2 per
cent. for Ave OF the printing trades
unions engaged in book and JOB work
were ordered yesterday by the COM
mittee on arbitration in a decision
reached In the cases between the unions
and the Association OF Employing
Printers of the City of New York. The
decision. which Is understood to be based
on q corresponding decline In the cost
OF living, Is retroactive TO April ]. and
will continue in force until October /.
1921. Employees now owe employers
about 100000. which will be made Up
gradually
With but one exception, the reductions
are greater than the increases granted
on October !. 1920. No arbitration
clause to be active after that date was
contained In the decision.
The arbitration board included Prof.
William z. Osburn OF Columbia Uni
versity. Raymond p. tosdick and Allen
r. Burns OF the Americanization Study
for the Carnegie Corporation, its de-
cision being reached In the face OF the
employers demands for cut of 25 per
cent and the workers demands for a
weekly increase of 81.
The decrease awarded is that which
the arbitrators estimate has taken place
in the cost of living between June, 1920.
and April. 1921. They pointed out that
it did not constitute a cut in real wages.
The percentage was arrived at by talk
ing the figure OF decrease between June
and December, 1920, as determined for
New York by the United States Depart
ment Of Labor-S.12 per cent.-and modi-
flying 1t by applying the further decrease
in the price of food since January l. On
this pasis they estimated that the cost of
living is now e2.9 per cent. more than in
1914. and little over II per cent. less
than in June, 1920.
The new weekly scales established
are: Cylinder pressnen. S46; press as
sistants, $3.50; job pressmen. $3.50 !;
job press feeders. s2S. and paper han
dlers. sS3. The unions affected are
