{Board Fixes Standards for,

Companies Getting State Contracts.

' Wide-spread opposition to the

fixed by the State Printing Board for firms getting State contracts was reported in several sections of In-

diana today.

The Board, following a procedure prescribed by a new 1939 public printing law, fixed the scales yesterday following more than a month of

‘ |survey work conducted by the State

Labor Division. No minimum wage schedule was published for Marion County, since the law sets the full prevailing union scale as the minimum in first-class’ cities.

state was fixed as the average prevailing wage in the five metropolitan areas. of the state. were determined by zepresentatives of the Labor Division.as follows: Printers, $1.10 per hour; pressmen, $1.06; press feeders, .87; bookbinders, $1.07; lithographers, $1.00; engravers, 37; mailers, .72; bindery women, .55; stereotypers, $1.14. The 1939 law, which reorganized. the inting Bureau and changed procedure of letting contracts, provided that no contract should be let

Bidders Dropping Out Several printing firms who hav been bidding on State contracts were reported to be unable to qualify under the wage scale schedule, in many departments. Companies Wayne, South Bend and Evansville:

director, said. “A month ago we had about 200 bidders. This field now has been

7 reduced to about one-fourth the

number of original bidders.” " Under the old law, the State Printing Bureau awarded contracts

on state printing supplies for two-|

year periods. Under the new law, which became effective on Dec. 2, the reorganized Printing Board began awarding contracts under separate lettings for each of the various kinds of state printing. The board, following adoption of the wage schedules, rejected the low bid of the Ft. Wayne Printing Co. for the publishing of “Outdoor Indiana,” a magazine put out by the State Conservation Department. The bid was rejected because the Ft. Wayne firm was not paying the prevailing wage in some departments, board members said. New Bids to be Asked Mr. Beadle, State Printing Bureau director, said new bids will be advertised for .the magazine immediately. It was reported also - that the new set-up would work ‘against one: prominent sponsor of the bill in the last Legislature. “These averages were determined by representatives of the State La-

wide survey,” Mr. Beadle said. The state’s annual printing contracts total more than $800,000.
