| Sumario: | Though times have changed since the following statement was included in the "Introductory Remarks" to the Constitution of the New York Typographical Society that "Scarcely any employment can be more laborious than that of publishing a daily morning newspaper.... It requires the united exercise of the mental and bodily labor of the persons employed, for nearly the whole night, and a considerable portion of the day; being seldom able to allot more than seven hours to rest and refreshment," nevertheless, it still remains true that there is perhaps no industry today in which pressure of work is more conspicuously the daily routine of mechanics and staff. In the production of a product, the perishability of which is a matter of a few hours, not only has a high degree of cooperation been imperative, but the necessity of speed has made the newspaper industry one of the most difficult and expensive manufacturing processes. Moreover, no industry except the automobile industry has shown such rapid advance in technique to meet the demands of modem life.
