Excerpt from Collective Bargaining in the Lithographic Industry Although the motion-picture poster, the label on canned foods, the office calendar, the illustrated post-card, and the numerous other products of lithography are not new to the readers of this monograph, it is improbable that many of such readers should be familiar with the process by which these articles of common use are made. Much less to be expected is an intimate knowledge of the labor problems of the industry. This study attempts to trace the history of collective bargaining in the litho graphic industry. It is the hope of the writer that the facts themselves, as herein related, will interest the stu dent oi labor problems; but it is also his hope that in chronicling these facts, he may make some contribution to a better understanding of the principles of wage bar gaining. To be sure, the entire lithographic industry of the United States employs a smaller number of men than does a single corporation in the steel industry, for ex ample. For this reason, it may be objected that the lithographic industry has labor problems peculiar to it self. This is admitted. Every industry has labor prob lems peculiar to itself. Yet there are common to them all the basic principles of wage bargaining. It is only by knowing intimately the methods used by employers and employees in many industries that we can determine these general principles which form the basis of the labor contract.
