THE PRINTERS1 STRIKE.
THE MAIL TRIBUNE appears in a somewhat abbre
viated form today, due to an unexpected, nnnec
jjaiy, needless and absurd strike of its printers, who at a
meeting held last night, voted to walk ott"t at 7:30 o'clock
this morning unless the management renewed the agree
ment with the tvpographiearunion for another year at
once. "MHJtftfii
- ' Tlio Mail Tribune has always boon a union shop. Its
printers have always been paid the top vage. Altlroiigli
the scale has been $3 a day for floor men and $1 a day for
linotype operators, the wages paid were $3.50 and $.t.o0
a bonus of 50 cents per dav per man. Before the advent
of the management there "wore no union printers in Med-
lord and $12 per week was the average wage.
The pay in the Mail Tribune office was above the union
scale, eight horn's constituted a day's work, and a light
aritl airy office was provided for the men. It deemed as
though no cause could be trumped up for a strike or that
the employes could better their condition by striking.
'A week ago the Mail Tribune took a temporary eon
tract to print the Mcdford Sun for a mouth. Having su
perior facilities and equipment idle a part of the day, it
was supposed that it eould do the printing cheaper than
the Sun itself could, by lifting duplicate advertisements,
etc. This was the excuse for the strike. It the Mail Tri
bunc and the Sun had been one institution or owned in
common, the union would have had no complaint. Being
entirely separate, and legitimate competitors, exchange
of matter is prohibited under union rules. Therefore, the
effort of both papers to print as large aiid as excellent a
paper as possible, through cutting out ccononue waste, has
been thwarted by the printers themselves, who in the long
run would be the chiet beneficiaries.
The local typographical Union, then, in spite of the fair
treatment always accorded its members, in spite of the fact
that the Mail Tribune paid the highest wages in the state
outside of Portland, in spite of the fact that the paper was
the first to recognize the union south of Salem, in spite of
an tins ana lnucn more, snowed .tucir appreciation by or
dering a strike upon practically no notice at all.
Furthermore, the strike was one of the most absurd on
record it was for a scale of wages half a dollar a day per
man less than that alread paid..
The printers, it is needless to say, won their unneces
sary strike, that is, the management signed the scale agree
ment and ior three years will adhere to it stnctlv. The
printers will receive just what the scale calls for and no
more. Each striker succeeded in his effort to secure a
$3 a week reduction in wages and is the recipient of con
gratulations. ,

PRICES
FOR BARTLETTS
Recent Low Prices Have Materially
Inereased Consumption and This
Will Tend to Force Prices Up With
Better Quality Arriving.
Sgobcl & Day of New York, under
date of August 16, say:
Sixty-three cars sold Monday, 35
Tuesday and 44 today, Wednesday,
certainly show heavy receipts.
Bartletts 31000 boxes out of the
above sold and we arc glad to report
a little higher market, more espec
ially on tho better quality of many
of the pears now coming In from
points outsido of Sulsun and tho riv
er. Today the best Bartletts of 135
to 1G5 sizes aro in good demand at
J1.S0 to $2.20, others of lower grade
and irregular packing and some well
colered up sold $1,45 to IJ.7G. The
low prices lately have materially In
creased the consumption and as wo
must cxpoct better quality pears wc
believe next week will shqw a dif
ferent etnto of things. This market,
according to reports, continues above
other markets In prices.
Peaches Immense arrivals con
tlnue, 41,700 boxes sold since Mon
day ,and Elbortas made 75c to $1.00,
apd Crawfords, Susquehannas. etc.,
7Dc .to 90c. Soiuo of the latter va
rjytljcs.aro getting a better color. On
tho expected lighter arrivals we shall
see better prices on peaches, but they
certainly have been hurting this mar
ket lately for all other fruits.
Grapes About 7000 Malagas and
9400 Thompson Seedless sold since
Monday, tho former doing very well,
were prlmo In every way and sold
$1.75 to $2.00 on clusters and $1.50
to $1.75 on ordinary, but somo dull
looking and soft sold around $1.10.
The Thompsons sold mostly from SOc
to $1.10 and they aro not going well,
buyers'' complaining of their small
size. If Malagas drop to $1.50
Thompsons will go to 75c
First three days of this week 142
cars have been sold against last year
precisely the same number. In Jcr
soy City today waiting are 65 cars,
while due tomorrow and Friday 41
cars more. It is said the arrivals next
week will be lighter and If so we
hope for higher prices, especially on
Bartletts, tho consumption of which
Is very heavy Indeed. Glad to hear
that the first cars of Italians have
started from the northwest and If
good they will do well.
