A resolution carried unanimously
at the meeting of the New York
Times chapel contains the following:
1.-THE slip board is to be removed
to the union headquarters or to
nearby space rented for the purpose
by the union or by this chapel in
conjunction with other chapels, or, if
necessary, by this chapel alone"
The slip board contains a list of
substitutes of the chapel who are
seeking work in that particular news
paper. According to the new arbi-
tration award the substitutes will
have to wait around for four hours
on the chance Of getting a day or
night shift.
This resolution is being taken up
by the rest of the chapels and will
mean that the substitutes will not
need to show UP four hours in order
to be able to secure a days work.
A previous resolution, which was
adopted by these four newspaper
chapels and which is being introduced
in all other newspaper chapels, reads,
in part, as follows:
1.-THE prejudiced opinion of an I'M
elected arbiter, namely, J. N. Saulter.
an employer Of non-union labor, has
resulted in vicious arbitration
award, setting precedents to which
We, as union men, cannot submit
THE award even goes SO far as to
create still more unemployment
through the introduction of vicious
plan Of staggered shifts involving I'M
precedented hardships on the regu-
lars, and especially the subs.
"The membership was Unanswered
into arbitration through the CON
nivance of the international and local
officials, in conjunction with the
Publishers Association.
I'VE, as union men, emphatically
declare that we will do all in our
power to render the said award null
and void by whatever means pos
sibla
1T is resolved that we begin our
campaign Immediately by electing a
campaign committee to call upon all
other chapels to endorse this resolu-
ton and to take such other steps as
may be necessary
EDITORS NOTE-The capitalist
newspapers have not said worc
about the struggle of the printers
against this stagger plan. Only the
Daily Worker has come out in full
support of the printers in this strug-
gle, The Daily Worker will con-
tinue to give all available informa-
ton and full support.

TO CUT CITY PAY
BY S2O,OOO,OOO
Board of Estimates
Proposal to Albany

NEW YORK.-The Board of Esti-
mate met yesterday and adjourned so
the delegation from the thousands Of
jobless outside could not get in to
present demands to it.
The board took time. however, to
vote in favor of some cuts, most Of
them 5 per cent, in salaries over
$4,000 year. This makes a saving
in 1888 of only $258,Ooo
The state law provides the rate for
salaries under that limit, that is, for
the great bulk of the workers for
the city as distinct from the $4,000
to $4,000 officials. The board an
nounces that it expects to make a
saving of $20,00o,000 more" if the
legislature, meeting Friday, changes
the wage scales of the workers, or
leaves them to the Board of Esti-
mate to settle.
Teachers Betrayed
The Board of Education has al
ready agreed to having teachers
wages slashed. The teachers have
not; but the officials of the Teachers
Union are already spreading defeat
ism, saying that it might be better
not to fight the wage cut too much,
and only try to save the provision for
teachers wages to be set by state
instead Of city law.
Delegates will go from the Unem-
ployed Councils to Albany Friday to
demand relief by taxes on the rich,
by making the bankers wait for their
$2OO,00O,0Oo payment on the city debt,
and not by cutting city workers
wages.
