^[[my]] [[preprinted]] TERMINAL CLEANING CONTRACTORS, INC. ESTABLISHED 1914 130 WEST 42nd STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. TELEPHONE - WISCONSIN 7-3393 [[/preprinted]] October 28th, 1948 Jacques Seligmann & Co. 5 East 57th Street New York City Gentlemen: Your attention is invited to the attached excerpts from the daily newspapers, concerning the settlement of the window cleaners' strike affecting our industry. In addition to the $5.00 weekly wage increase per man, which we had agreed to as a result of arbitration proceedings, our compensation insurance carrier, New York State Insurance Fund, increased the premium from $1.01 per day, per man to $1.34 per day, per man. To these amounts must be added the insurance and tax items which are based upon wages. We realize we are asking you to assist us in sharing the burden of these increased costs. However, if we do not come to you forassistance, we have no other recourse. Therefore, in a spirit of mutual cooperation, we respectfully request, that as of November1st, 1948, you grant us the amount of 50ยข, to be added to our existing contract price. We thank you for your valued and esteemed patronage and we assure you that we will make every effort to give you satisfactory service. Very sincerelyyours, TERMINAL CLEANING CONTRACTORS, INC.
