PITTSBURG PRINTERS WALK OUT
In the COnrse OF Controversy With
the LinOtYpe Machinists

the Linotype MachknlSts.
Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-THE members of
Pfttsburg Typographical union No. 7
nave walked out of the Offices of the
Pittsburg daily newspapers and struck
work, although the scale or contract be-
eween the printers and publishers does
not expire until December "a Tehy have
not struck for higher wages The demand
is that the machinists employed to care
for the linotype machines and who are
members of DuQuesne Lodge No of
the international Association of Machin-
lists, be forced to become members of the
Typographical union. To accede to this
demand would be to violate a contract
between the publishers and the machin-
lists. The contest of the Tyypogra phical
union, therefore, resolves itself into an
attempt to disrupt a union of fellow
workmen. 1t is not primarily dispute
between newspaper publishers and print
ers, but an attempt of the printers to
use the publishers as a club to drive the
machin1sts into the Typographical union
The Pittsburg printers were not allowed
to vote on the proposition at all, but
were ordered out by some ;outside au-
thority. The strike has not the sympa-
thy of other labor organizations, for.
whether other unions take the side Of the
printers or the side Of the machinists, it
Is contest of one labor organization
against another. In this effort to COM
pei the machinists and the publishers TO
brea kthelr contract the printers have
broken their own contract with the pub
fishers, and by this act they have ar
rayed against them the Machinists'
union and have not the sympathy of the
allied printing trades
