Foreman Under Harris Refuses
to Say He Would Employ
Non-Unionist.
HOW HARRIS PAYS
OFF HIS PRINTERS
Uses Borrowed Money Until
February, and Injunction
Does Not Hurt.

Despite the fact that State Printer
Harris has announced that he ordered
the contract between himself and the
Allied Printers Trades Council abro-
gated some time ago and that he does
not feel himself bound by the articles
any more, the foreman Of the state
printing plant, Mr.. Brock, refused to
state today what his action would be
IN the event that non union printer
would ask him for a position.
Mr.. Brock has charge of the mechan-
ical department of the state printing
plant and the foreman generally does
the hiring of employees. He declared
this morning, in response to an inquiry
made as to whether or not Don.union
men would be employed in the plant,
that he was not in position to say
one way or the other. Consequently,
it is the general belief that the con
tract between the state printer and
the organized printers is still in affect
and cannot be broken until both par
ties approve. If the plant is not bound
by contract to recognize only union
labor, some plausible answer would un.
doubtedly be given out as to what the
officials of the department would DO
IF a non,union printer, capable and ia
dustrious, would apply for an open job.
Harris Furnishes Money.
State Printer Harris said today that,
with the exception of monthly payments
in warrants drawn in his favor, the
temporary order restraining the secre'
tary Of state from issuing salary war
rants for the printing plant has no bear.
ing in the matter at all, He declares
that he pays the members of the state
printing force out of his own pocket
every Saturday night and at Che end Of
the month settles up with the secretary
of state, The secretary Of state then
issues one warrant for the amount paid
out during the month by Harris and
thus the state printer is reimbursed and
the printers paid weekly.
A permanent restraining order
against the secretary Of state would
place the state printer in money-los'
ing position, however, as no warrants
could be issued to cover claims from
the printing department until the con
tract between Harris and he unions
could be abrogated, if it so that it has
not been.

Governor West this morning made
what must be considered q final de-
termination not to be candidate for
reelection The statement was made in
letter in reply to one from DR.. O. J.
Smith which, with It's answer, is given
below. 1t will be noted that the gov
ernor asks that "this statement be ac-
cepted by all my friends as final. "
