I stood resting on one leg, not for long.
I relate the above facts not as a reflec- tion on dear old San Francisco, but that printers of today may the better appreci- ate the advantages they enjoy under the. Wise and humane provisions that have since been installed by the union.
There was one little daily the Mir- ror that slipped my mind. After a couple of years of gasping, in the winter of 1861 it rolled over and died. It had large advertising contracts with the city that kept it alive during... the fall, until a crisis came, which was met by half a dozen printers who with the union's con- sent agreed to get the sheet out for sev- eral weeks and take for pay $1, 800 worth of city scrip, payable when special taxes for certain street work were collected. The scheme looked good to me as com- pared with nothing doing, and I was one of the gang that took the hook.
102 IN THE EAJ*LY SIXTIES The contract was completed and we got our scrip all right. Then we placed it in the hands of the foreman, Tom Biail, who was to lobby a bill through the legislature authorizing the city to cash the scrip in a lump sum, as the taxes were being paid in dribs.
