HOW THE HEARING WAS CONDUCTED—ARGU- MENTS MADE ON BOTH SIDES—THE QUESTION THOROUGHLY CANVASSED-THE Cost OF LIVING IN THIS CITY—WAGES PAID IN OTHER CITIES AND TO OTHER ARTISANS IN THIS crry. z ‘The first case occurring In this city, in which differences between employers and employes have been submitted to arbitration, is that growing out of the recent demand made by Co- lumbia Typographical Union, No. 101, upon the newspaper publishers of this city, for an in- erease of the price of composition from 40 to 50 cents per thousand ems, or an increase of twen- ty-tive pereent. Hon, Horatio King, Commis- sioner Colman, of the Agricultural department, and Commissioner Oberly, of the civil service board, were chosen as arbitrators, these gentle- ring all had practical experience as printers or pablishers, The heariug of the case n before them in the library of the Agricul- bureau Thursday morning, and was con- cluded yesterday, The printer's anton was represented by Messrs. Julian L. Wright and J. LaC. Rodier, The associated publishers were represcated by Messrs. E. W. Fox, of the gubtican: Stiison Hutchins, of the Post: Hallet pourh, Of the Critic, and Crosby 4.

Mr. King, president of the board, having Comuuissioner Oberly, who acted as sccretai at his left and Commissioner Colman at his right. The representatives of the publishers and of the printers were provided with convenient seats at the tables. There was quite a formidal sray of documents spread out on both tables, The order ot procedure fixed by the board of arbitrators gave the opening of the case to the printers, who had the affirmative. STATING THE CASE. ring begin Thursday morning odier read @ statement presenting ah tory of the case from the standpoint of the typographical union, from the time when In June the Unioh agreed to a reduction of the m GO w 50 cents per one thousand ems, Auzust 21, the Uniou suspended the operath on Of its seu order to permit men to work for 40 suspension was revoked by the ree tion of the Union as tar as Its operations tended to the newspaper offices and the s declared in force. ‘THis restoration the em ployers resisted. In order that the publishers ected by the Testoration might derive a ben- elit therefrom it was coupled with « reduction of hours of Jabor of one bour each day. >x followed with an oral statement on the publishers. In 1880, he said, # reduction of the price of compos! 50 to 40 cents, The year S80 wa prosperous one in this country, the balance of trade being in our favor, Now 'a demand was made for an advance of 25 per cent without uy reason to justify it, and it was announced to the publishers as an ultimatum if it were not granted there would be a strike, ‘The publish- rs proposed arbitration. "The priniers’ com- mitice hesitated. They then said that if they could get unaniious consent of the Union to ir former resolution they would astee to arbitrate: that if the publishers would pay this 50 ceuts for the two weeks pending ar- ¥ could get this unanimous con- sentof the Union, Tue publishers submitted to this extraordinary demand, aeting, as they believed, im the pube interest. ‘There was, he contended, no reason for this demand. The Fates patd “here already equalled or exceeded tose paid in neighboring cities. ‘The printers ve already paid more for day work than in the ily of Baltimore. If the proposed demand | were granted prices here would be 25 per cent higher than in Baltimore for night work, and er tor day work. Mr. Wright objected 10 the statement that | the “employers proposed arbitration. ‘The record, he clalined, showed that the proposi- Won resulting in the arbitration came from the committee of the Union. Mr. Fox asked Mr. Wright if it were not true that the publishers had proposed arbitration; and if Mr. Wright had not hesitated, and only Fielded When admonished of the unpleasant position the priuters would put themselves in | belore the country by refusing. Mr. Wright admitted that, but sald the arbi- tration proposed by Mr. Fox proposed to cover | other matters than those now submited to ar- itration. Mr, Wright followed with “a statement of e in certal 43 percent hig facts” on the printers’ side. He set forth that Columbia Ty poyraphical Union had never dur- ing te nineteen years of ils existeuce Sought to advance the price of composition, The reduc- Uon of one hour in time each day was, be claimed, an advantage to the publisher. While tue per diem wages of mechanics bad advanced e 1580 the price of composition had now Rents tor small houses were higher than in Jss0; fuel was higher; medical attendance equally as costly; and "eusiom-made clothing aud shoes more expensive. Publishers were charging as high or bigher advertising rates than when the: price of composition was sixty chis. More was expected of the wage-workers in Washington, Mr. Wright said, than else- where, for here ‘in’ tiis beautiiul city. they should not mar the beauty of the city by living ia squalor. As compared with 1880 there had been # general appreciation of real estate. The Sispension of the seule of flity cents had cou- tinued in operation while the price of food had advanced trom ten to ity per eent, THE PUBLISHER'S SIDE. Mr. Frank &. Noyes, oa behalt of the publish- ers, read a “statement of facts,” on that side of the case, first calling attention to the arbitrary and unjust manner in which the existing dif ferenees between the publishers and Columbia | aphicai Union, 101, were brought about by the Union, in violation of the law of the 1 tional’ Union, which direeted subordi- nate lodges not to order a strike until “every effort had been made to seitie the difficulty by arbi 8,” and In violation of an agreement isher of the Post not to atte . ‘The publisiers wdvance pending jun were ubliged to pay heavily fur the privilege of arbitration instead of hayiug the opportunity tendered to them by the Union, ay the rules of the National Unions No reasons were assigned by the vn as @ Justification for the proposed «tvance. “IU must be assumed —how- e statement proceeded “that those who are dissatistied with the rate of wages ex. i ut tbe time an increase is demanded | must asic for an advance for at least one of the following reasons: Ist. ‘That the cost of living | iy greater than When the existiog rate was fixed: 2d. That they are unable to earn as much as the average of those engaged in the same occu: S of Uke couptry; or, 3d. That they are not as well paid for their labor us others engaged In corresponding pursuits and occupying substantially the same position In lite in theirown locality.” ‘The statement then, weded <0 give iuets to show, claimed, that not one of these three proposi- Uons collld be established. e THE COST OF LIVING. “In relation to the first point,” the statement said, “a careful and exhaustive inquiry shows that on the whole the cost of living in Wash- ington is not as great now as it was in 1880, when the rates which it is now proposed to dis- turb were fixed. Patent wheaten flour, which then cost $9 per barrel, cat new be bought here at $7 lo. '$7.50. Fuuily flour, then $8; now $5.50 to $6. F, then I2 cents per pound, now Sty: #1 lnen 11 ceils per pound, as against 7 rown, LO cents then, against 6 cents Then lard in cost 12 cents per 1 for 10'¢ percent be bo: nts and the latter for 8. er is ‘beaper now than IL was in iss0, Hatus then cost £4 cenis per pound: now the price is 1249. Fresh beef, pork, veal, tton, lamb, fowls aud fish are’ uearly the ame NOW as’ then. One or two items are per- ps 4 litte higher at present than at that en a substantial reduc- tion in the price of fresh meats, as a whole, and the same is true of vegetables, which’ are caper and better now than formerly. In the of tuel there has pot been much change. Coal used for heating is lower, while there has an advance in the price of Lykens Valley, used mostly tu ranges, ete; but in the aggre: | col living is abnormally high. Ninety out of the 115 unions consider less than 40 cents per thou- sand a fair rate of compensation. Eighty-nine ‘of the unions make a marked discrimination in favor of day work. Wages hero are very much higher than the actual average of the country, which is greatly reduced when the prices paid where uni do not flourish are considered, The av price of compo- sition In the sixteen larger cities of the country reported Is found to be 41 cents per 1,000 ems for night work and 3734 cents for day'work, or an actual difference in the two classes of work of 1% cents per 1,000 ems less than has been paid for like service in Washington, and 11% cents per 1,000 less than the rate proposed by the new scale, In nineteen of the state capitals of the conntry in which typographical unions are established the average rate paid tor compo- sition is 371, cents per 1,000 ems for night work and 3434 cents jor day work, or 4 cents less on the two classes than the Washington rate, which it is now proposed to still further inet e. The statement also set forth that on account o/ the larger displays in both advertising and reading mutter, compositors gre able to make “longer strings,” or, In other fvords, earn larger wages: than when the rate of composition which it is now proposed to change, was adopted. THE WAGES OF OTHER ARTISANS, The statement then took up the third and only remaining point and compared the wages paid to printers in Washington with those paid to workmen in Other leading trades who pos- sess equal or nearly equal intelligence, moral qualities, sense of responsibility aud technical skill, Judged by this standard, the statement said, the printers of Washington rise to the plane of what may weil be called a privileged class among aruisans. For example, of the six- teen _compositors who were engaged in THE EVENING STAR office during the whole of the year 1855 fuar made bills wnounting to and were paid during that period considerably over $1,100 cach; two others were paid over $1,000 Sach; the two most indifferent workmen” were paid over $600 cach; and the average amount id to the whole’ sixteen for the year Was 30, Jontrast this some,”" the statement went on, “with the ‘wages earned by other _imechan- ies, whose work is much more severe in itself, as well as more trying to the physical system, by reason of the “unfavorable elreumstanc it is generally performed. Sta- he average yearly carnings of th Washington workmen tollows: “Building mechanies, not to exceed 3600. Stone cutters, not exceeding $500. Brick- Jayers the same. Carpenters, avout §: ‘Tin- ners and plasterers about $: Most of these men Work exposed to the ciements, and are, for Various caitses, oiten for months without oppor- Lunities for carning wages, Whereas the compe- tentand willing printer has constant employ ment, with pleusant und congenial surroum ‘and protected ‘at all times against the erous heats of suinmer aud the cold snows ‘and siorins of the incletent winter season,” A COMPLAINT OF INJUSTIC ‘The publishers asked to bg relieved from two forms of oppression, which the resolution as passed imposed upon them. The first was the fact that no distinction is made between the work performed by day and that done at night, ‘The other point was that the resolution placed an unjust burden upon newspaper publishers as, against the proprietors of the job oflices of the city, though no%good reason could be assigned for such discrimination. ‘The promise that the wegregite increase Ot expense to the newspapers under the resolution would be very slight has not been fulfilled. Figures were given, show- ing that in THis EVENING STAN office te com- position tor tue week ending May 8 under the proposed seale was $93.15 greuter than tor the preceding week under the oid scale, with a Jess amount of type set by 105,710 ems. If the same amount of composition had been per formed tne increuse in cost to the paper would have been $146.15. Attention was called to the fact that the newspapers of Washington are subjected to a | competition in their business such as bas no | parallel In the United States, aud a competi- Won with publishers who pay less for composi- tiou than the rate which the Union now pro- poses to further increase. In conclusion, the statement set forth that the proposed advance “is not demanded by any consideration of right or justici so far as the printers themselves are concerned, and its enforcement would work an unneces: sary, uncalled tor and grievous hardship to the newspaper publisiters of the city, who are be- hind none in their desire to be not only fair but generous to those employed by them. On th other band, they demand with a tecling of co: fidence which ever goes with the presentation of @ righteous cause, that the rate heretofore charged tor day work sill be materially re- duced,so as to correspond with the rule and prac- tice Which obtain generally in tue country. They demand also, with equal confidence, that the excess so unjustly charged for composition dur- ing the two weeks awaiting this arbitration wall in each case be refunded to them, ‘The nposition of that advance was in Violation of sind an outrage upon every relation which should exist between employer and employed, It was extorted by 4 threat, which, if it ditfered in language, Was in efteet’ the sudden and un- expected suimmons of a tighwayman who Piuces a pistol at the head of the unarmed trav. eler and demands either his money or his lt REAL AND IMAGINARY TYPE, Mr. Fox supplemented this statement, urging that the present scale in many instances de- manded the payment of mone¥ not earned. He reterred to charges made for advertisements and plates which the printers did not se Mr. Wright said in reply to the statement re- garding the law of the Interuational Union, that the law governing strikes was optioual ‘with each union, and had no foree until approved by that union Mr. Hutchins submitted a number of in- quiries, One was whether the arbitrators must confine themselves to the consideration of a price not more than fifty cents nor less than Jorty cents; another was whether the price to be established was for type actually set or im- aginary type; another whether brevice was to charged As agate, &g Mr. Hutchins ex- plained what he teat by imaginary type by citing cases where newspapers Dad to pay for osition that was not performed, He ar- gued that these matters were pertinent, as they involved the question of whut constituted a “thousand ems.” ‘The unfon might nullify this arbitration ‘by getting together and saying 1,000 was 800.

Vheu the board met, yesterday morning, all of the gentlemen named above were present ex- cept Mr. Hutchins, Mr. Oberly announced that the board iad decided that the only question tial the commission was to upon was whether the price of composition upon Washe ington newspapers should be more than 40 cents and not more than 50 cents. Mr. Kodier representing the printers, then began the argument tn favor’ of the ine crease, or the restoration, as he insisted on calling it, He asserted “that the sus- pension “made in 1830 was a temporary ‘one, and thatthe publishers asked the reduc- tion temporarily, owing to the depression of their business at that time. Mr, Rodier dwelt at some length upon suffering, entalied, as he med, by this reduction, men not belig able earn enough in health to provide for them- selves aud Tautiles in case of slcktiess. Speak ing of the figures given to show the earnings of a printer for the Yeur, he claimed that the fig- ures represented a printer's frame and nota man, as they did not show how much of this monéy went to substitntes, He gave figures from tue pay-roll of the Republican six days und the Pust goven days during the lust week under the adWanced scale, claiming that the whole sum paid for composition, When divided among ail the men employed, gave an average ‘on the former puper of $15.07 tor the week and on the latter of 317,15." He asked whether this was more than lalr pay for the Intelligent labor required, for eyesight and health lost. He de- scribed ihe liie ot a compositor as i wearing one, There was no occupation in the world that so taxed the energies of a man as that of a compositor on a morning paper. Their demand had been likened to tie demand of a bighway- mau, but he hid never before heurd of a case where a highwayman, after making a demand which he nag the power to enforce, bad con- gate the advantage is slightly with the eun- Sumer at the present time. in wood there has been no substantial Reaay-made clothing is certified by e: ud reputable dealers in the city “to be 25 per cent cheaper how than ia 1850, ‘The net price of gas per 7.000 feet then was $2; now It Is 81.50: iu olis are 12 to 15 per cent lower now In boots aud shoes there has been I change 1n price; but the quality of t Ube same figures ts reported to be 20 per cent better now than then, which Is in inet to the cousumer equivalent toa reduction Wouien’s dress goods are very much cheaper now than then, Woolens are 15 than in 1880.

Silk dress per cent eeaper now than then, w a reduction of 10 percent. In the matter of rents, reliable real estate agents report an advance in the rent of snoderate sized houses equal on an average to about 10 percent. It must be re- membered, however, that a large part of this inerease 1s due to tbodern conveniences and comforts, and to better sanitary results in the construction of new and the improvement of sented to let the justice of his claim’ be deter- mined by arbitration, A CHANCE FOR THE ARBITRATORS, The arbitrators as public men, Mr. Rodier said, could not afford to take any other than a Just and equitable view of the ease. Mr. Rodier pictured the opportunities which the urbitrators enjoyed of figuring us apostles of freedom, “Your names,” he sald, “won't get ut Of the newspapers for two yours tw come; that will be after the presidential election, and I do not Know what bees may be buzzing in your bonnets.” He would admit for himself that he was mat- tog a living, but only a bare living; he wanted jmore; he Wanted something of the profits of his jubor. ‘The printers, he said, asked not for mercy, but for justice, and they had never cried for Justice because they had not the power to de- mand it. They bad that poMee and the nows- paper publistiers knew {t, ‘Tie compositors had abandoned the ground.-they held in order to secure peace and to settle the matter with good will. It the arbitrators erred a littieon the side of the printers they would not go fur wrong; the printers woula send up a shout ull over the land that might be of material benefit to the arbitrators some day. Mr. Rodier reterred to old houses, so that if tenants pay more for house rept; they as a rule get Inore for their money now than they did then. Houses of the same grade rent at this time for but little more than they did in 1880, It will be seen, there- fore, that such increase as may be found in house rent must be charged as well to the higher and Letter standard of living every- ere prevailing as to ap actual advance th that item In the ‘ist of the necessaries of Ite. Itis to be noted here also that those who have continuously occupied the same premises since 1550 report no material advance in the rent cuarged them during that period.” WAGES LN OTHEE CITIES, ‘The statement then proceeded to compare the wages received by printers of this city with those earned by thelr fellow-craftsmen In other parts of the country, taking as authority the ethicial report of the fnternational Ty pographi- cal Union, tor the year 1885. ‘The average price paid to printers of the 113 unions making re turns Is 35% ceuts per thousand ems for night ork, and 31% cents for day work. Of the £15 unions the num berwhose members are paid over 40 cents per thousand 18 only 9, and these are all at remote western points where the price of the girth. of publishers present as compared with his own and Mr. Wright's siim figures, ‘THE PUBLISHERS’ SIDE. Mr. Fox, who followed for the publishers, said he would make no appeal to the ambition of the arbitrators for preferment; he referred to the fact that two of the arbitrators had been printers at the caso illustrated the opporvuni- Ues that the workingmen hud in this country. ‘This was not, he med, a contest between ‘capital and labor, It was between workingmen and workingmen, for no one, he maint worked harder than the publishers. He refe to the competition here with newspapers of Fee ee populous cities, of large maritime and commercial Iplerests, ‘which, he arzued, had in this competition the advantage of ing théir own clues With @ profit assured, Mr. Fox quoted trom various authorities to show that the purchasing power of u dollar had in- ¢reased 35 per cent since 1880, Now the com: positor usked 25 per cent more of this money than Jn 1880, ‘They usked it, too, when they knew that the unton printers ail over the coun- try would stand ready to take their pluces 1f it by rich yore not tes, Bed ee ect x jarbitraiors to dete | tation.

Ho read from Laveleye, the economist, Grosv- enor, the financial authority, and A'tkinson, the Statistician, to show the present condition of affairs and general reduction of prices pre- vailing. Mr. Atkinson, he said, had grou| fogether 200 articles or comniodities, going into the cost of living, upon whieh there hi been a reduction of price. This advance was asked by the printers because of an advance of ten per cent in house rent. This advance of rent cut a small figure in view of the general Feduction of all prices. He deprecated any ap- peal that might be made to the political aspira- tions of the arbitrators; he deprecated such statements as that the’ printers of the land wouid rise in acclaim if the arbitrators put the serews upon the publishers here, He asserted that the printers were not sustained in this demand by other labor organizations. He hoped Tae time would come when publishers here could afford to pay fifty cents a thousand. He asked the arbitrators to consider the question thoughuully, and assured them that the pub- lishers would not clamor against. thelr judg- ment, but submit to it quietly, whatever It was. MR, KILBOURN'S REMARKS, Mr. Kilbourn spoke briefly when Mr. Fox concluded, The picture drawn by Mr. Rodier as to the condition of life of a compositor, be said,applied only to morning newspaper offices, and there were but two such offices in the city. In reference to a statement thut there had been an increase since 1880 in rates of advertising, Mr. Kilbourn brought forward data to show that there had been no advance in the prices of advertising in the Wasbington papers, as claimed. He insisted that the printer ‘and Gvery. one else ean live more cheaply now than in 1880, and went over again the prices of various commodities entering into the cost of living submitted in the publishers’ statement of tacts obtained from responsible authorities. Mr. Oberly asked if he thought the rate of 50 cents paid ‘at the government printing office was too high. Mr. Kilbourn said this government backed by the United States treasury ought not to be held up asan example to private employers. The printers at the government office, he said, aimed to take the position of government clerks and tobe paid accordingly, aud it was uniair to private employers to buve to pay what the gov- ernment chooses to pay its employes out of the United Siates treasury. He would like the printers at the government office to get $1.50 @ thousand if they could. MIR. WRIGHT CLOSES. Mr. Wright, who closed for the printers’ side, ‘rged that this was not a question of sentiment but of equity. He again went over the state- ment of facts presented by the printers, com- menting upon the facts as he proceeded. Tue Suspeusion of the seale in 1880, he alleged, was made to meet exigencies then presented, and iu violauion of the law of the International Union. Avany time anyone who chose might have brought a charge before the International Union against Columbia Union on this account, bia Union might have had its ehar- a matter of fact that certain publishers here controlied the Associated Press privileges, and. no othe er could privileges. ‘There was organization on the side Of the publishers 4s Well us of the printers. In former days in this city, he said, composition was puld for by the 'week. "In order to micet the desire of employers, the Union had mude ull work on newspapers piece work, so that euch man should be paid accord: ing to the amount of work he did. To show, as he said, how an increase of 4% of a ht be greatly im: ed, he read a ny that an increase of \ of a ade by moulders on certitin castings hid resulted in increases atl along the line by the nauutueturer, the Wholesale dealer and the retail dealer untll it was finally magnified 1,600 per cent. He asserted that publishers could easily provide for this proposed increase of the cost of printing. The increase cost of setting a square of four fines was only one cent. Where a publisher now asked 5U cents tor a one square advertisement, in order to cover this increase ail he would tive to do would be to add 1 cent to the price of the advertisement, In relerence to the discrimination against the benefit of these Rewspapers is compared with job oitices, Mr. Wright sald that the basis’ ot profits in “newspaper oflices and the job offices was dierent; the job otlice depended tor its profits in the margin over the price of composition. He isisted that in four items which entered largly in the expense of a family there hud been au increuse, or at any rate no reduction in cost. since 1880. These iteins were: House rent, Which it was admitted had advanced; medical attendance, which is equally as costly; fuel, which, he claimed, had advanced, and ‘custom-made clothing’ and shoes, Which had advanced, AS to the matter of rents, Mr, Wright claimed that the printer bad to pay 50 percent more of his labor tor the same house now than he did before the reduction of the printers’ scale in 1880. Ofall the typographical univns, he sald, Washington alone had reduced its rate sinee 1330; most of the ouhers had advanced their Fates. Mr. F. B. Noyes called attention to:the tact that though other Unions had advanéed they had not yet got their rates up to that paid in Unis elty. Mr. Wright said that Washington printers had always claimed more. ‘Mr. Rodier added to this that that was be- cause the cost of living was higher here than in other citi Mr, Fox disputed the truth of this as to the city of bt. Louis, from which he came, and Washington. In’st. Louis printers were pald less, yetrents were higher there than here. Mr. Wright, resuming, suid the printers did not propose, because tue publishers could not compete with Jumes Gordon bennett or pub- Ushers in other cities, that Ube printers should bewe the bruut of it. Mr. Wright went ® lttle into the history of printing Tn the city. In 1846, he said, the price of composition was 39 cents, and the printer to-day received only one cent. more than he did forty years ago, In 1852 the Printer received 47 cents; in 1873. 60 cents; in 1878 50 cents, aifd in 1850 40 cents, Mr. Fox suggesicd tat in the lormer days re- ferred to by air. Wright the government work Was done in offices 0. the city. Mr. Overly asked whether the arbitrators could increiise the rate as to morning papers Without increasing 1 as to evening papers. Mr, Wright said that he would ivave it to the whether wey bad power make such a difference. Mr.WGx oujected because there was no guar autee that the Union would abide by thearbi- Mr was Rodier replied that the seal of the Union, iven usw pledge that the Union would | abide by the decision of the arbitrators, Alter further discussion the hearing closed, and the arbitrators agreed to meet to-day to consider what their award shouid be. THE DECISION OF THE BOARD OF ARBITRATION. The Proposed Increase Should Not Be Made.

Hoxatio Kino, NouMan J. COLMAN, If I belicved the issue made to be as stated by the mujority of the board Lwould, without hesitation, concur in the conclusion arrived at by the mijority; but the issue made was, in niy opinion, broader one, and under it a price of composition on morning papers aud it tess WaAsHinaTox, D.C., May 10, 1886, Mr. Frank Pearson, U.S. Geological Survey, City: ‘Dear Sir—Having heard of your intention 1 go to Europe to pursue your musical studies, and desi ine to show our appreciation of your musical ability and in a slight degree ze your frequent gratuitous services for charita- ble and other purposes in the past, we, the un- dersigned, would respectfully ask that you name a tine and place for a benefit, so that we, as well as maby others, may substanti- ally assist you In your proposed plans, Very respeetiully, W.M, Shuster € Sons, Wm.G.
