Scales of Prices, 1893-1972

Extent:
1 reels of microfilm
Scope and content:

Scales of prices are the typographical union's contracts with employers. Although the varying wage rates for different types of work and different shifts are incorporated into these documents, agreements on working conditions are also included. These scales of prices have been divided into general scales (which include all types of work), newspaper scales, and book and job scales. As newspaper work is the predominant form in the union, newspaper scales of prices make up the bulk of this series.

The dates for newspaper scales of prices are not inclusive.

Arrangement:

Arranged by type of scale and chronologically thereunder.
