CONTRACT WILL RUN OUT
Printers and Employers Agree Not to ACT
Till October Fifth.
CONFERENCE or LEADERS IS HELD
strike at once Seemed Imminent
for while over Employment
OF the NOn-UniOn
Men.

After a prolonged conference the COM
mittee of the, Typographical union and
Typothetae yesterday afternoon reached an
agreement that all differences should be
considered settled until october 5. the limit
Of the present contract.
The Typothetae held out for arbitra-
ton of the question, maintaining
that the contract calls for such
disposition OF controversies. The
committee from the union responded that
the question involved-whether or not the
firm is employing nonunion men-is not
one proper for arbitration. In support OF
this view the argument was voiced that
the union knows who are members of Il
and that any contradiction OF this posi-
tive knowledge was a thing not amenablo
to the Jurisdiction Of an arbitration board.
Both sides Are Firm.
The conference did not lack in stormy
scenes, but both sides held firm. The
unions complaint was that two nonunion
men have been working at the Klopp 8
Bartlett shop for some time and that
neither has complied with the rules of the
organization. though given ample time
to do so. When they were put to work
they made application for admission, but
It is said one has not deposited the fees
as required and the other has not been
obligated"
Notwithstanding the fact that a local
issue seems to be raised by the trouble
at the Klopp g. Bartlett office, it is rec
ognized by both sides that the controversy
is merely a pretext to start the strife
impending over the demand of the in
ternational union for an eight-hour day
instead of nine hours as under existing
contract. In retaliation the National Ty-
pothetae declares that nine-hour, day
will be enforced with an 'open shop"
subject to no union regulations.
Preparing for Struggle.
The Klopp & Bartlett Co. for weeks has
been preparing for the struggle by getting
nonunion men lined up to take the place
of strikers when the actual trouble took
place Alleged violations OF the contract
have been winked at by the union, which
refused to be drawn into the fight pre-
maturely. Now that the strike in Chicago
and Indianapolis is under way and Presi-
dent Lynch has sanctioned strikes all over
the country where contracts expiring before
January are in force, II the demands of
the union are not complied With, it is be-
lieved the time for action has arrived.
