This file contains correspondence between St. Joseph's and the Irish National League for the Blind relating to increases for the blind workers of the institution. The correspondence contains references to The Richard Institution for the blind which appears to have been, at the time, in a better financial position than St. Joseph's but nonetheless supports the proposals to increase the wages for the blind as it will benefit the basket weaving industry. It also contains a list of prices for basket products pre- and post-war, the reasoning behind the need for an increase in the wages and the amount of the increases and the sources from which they are coming.
