The compositors walked out at noon of the same day, when asked to begin on new work lying in the offices, and the establishments were left without mechan- ical help. For more than two weeks most of the employers made no attempt to operate, continuing negotiations with the unions in the hope of securing arbitration of the demands for higher pay and shorter hours on a basis which would not make printing so costly to the public that they would send their orders’ outside Seattle, and so put the master printers out of business. Finally an offer was made to pay skilled mechanics $7 per day of eight hours and bindery girls $24 per week. The offer was accompanied by an ultimatum that, if the unions did not accept the scale and return to work, the Master Printers would end all negotiations and operate on the American plan, filling the places of the strikers with any help that could be secured, regardless of whether or not they belonged to unions. The scale offered, which WAS HIGHER THAN ANY PAID IN THE UNITED STATES, was turned down by the unions. The Master Printers opened up their plants on the American plan, which means: NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST EITHER UNION OR NON-UNION MEN OR WOMEN; COMPETENCY THE ONLY CARD RE- QUIRED WITH HIGHER WAGES AS THE PRIZE FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY AND INCREASED PRODUC- TION. Strike Was N-t Authorized As the strike has not been authorized by the Interna- tional Typographical Union and the representatives of the Bookbinders’ International Union had-ordered the striking binders to return to work, many of our employes in all branches returned to work, regardless of the action of the local unions. A large number of other skilled mechanics from outside cities, attracted by the high wages and-favor- able working conditions in Seattle, came to work in our plants and all the offices are now operating satisfactorily with a large percentage of their normal force. WE ARE PAYING COMPETENT COMPOSITORS, PRESSMEN AND BOOKBINDERS $7.00 PER DAY FOR EIGHT HOURS OF CONSCIENTIOUS WORK, THE HIGHEST SCALE ON THE PACIFIC COAST. San Francisco pays $6.50 per day of eight hours. Tacoma pays $6.50 per day for eight hours. Portland (scale now being arbitrated). Seattle pays $7.00 per day of eight hoyprs. So far as the employing printers of Seattle are con- cerned, the strike is over. TO THE MEN AND WOMEN NOW IN OUR EM- PLOY, WE GUARANTEE STEADY EMPLOYMENT. THERE ARE. STILL SOME POSITIONS TO BE FILLED. WE INVITE THE LOYAL AMERICANS AMONG OUR OLD EMPLOYES, WHO CAN MEASURE UP TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AMERICAN PLAN, TO RETURN TO WORK. NONE OF THE OTHER KIND NEED APPLY. The contracts of a certain number of employes who came to Seattle to fill the places of the strikers expire to- day. Their places have been filled with permanent employes, and they are leaving the city, as they are no long- er necessary to our operation. ployment under American conditions. Positions still open in our plants will be given to those seeking permanent em- Seattle Master Printers’ Association
