1121 - L Dec. 17; ed:2/1 - Everything done to affect the price of labor
has been unhealthy and hurtful. A year ago the Typographical union had
chapters in all the principal cities in the country and with few excep-
tions had all daily newspaper offices under their thumb. No printer was
hired unless he was a member of the Union. "We are therefore glad to ob-
serve, that the Typographical union, an organization of journeymen printers,
which had among its objects that of keeping up the prices paid for type
setting, is rapidly losing its power." (8)
