Printers Expected
To Settle 44-Hour
Week Fight To-day
International Union 10 Take
Up Question at Meeting
Here: Break With Locals
ii inge ON Decision

With the convening nf he United
Iypothet@ Of America at the Hotel
Commodore to-day it is expected the
situation in the printing industry will
begin to clear up. The big question TO
be taken up b. this organization Of
employing printers is the granting OF
the 44hour week. BY an agreement
with the employers organization the
international unions OF the printing in
dustrles OF the book and job divisions
took referendum vote on this issue.
These unions ratified the proposal
which is to give them the 44-hour week
after May / if the United Typotheta
agrees
Local unions, however. are making a
stand for the enactment Of the forty
fourhour week beginning October /.
Fourteen allied unions, including Typo
graphical Union 6 ("Big Six'). Press
mems Union 81, Franklin Union %. and
others have threatened TO get their
demands by the first OF ncXt month OF
strike. They are to meet the Printers
League Section OF the Association Of
Employing Printers at a conference
FRIDAY. following the convention Of the
Typothetae. If the national organiza-
ton Of employers votes to grant thc
44-hour week from 1920. it is be
leved a split will be forced between
the local unions and their int .rna-
tionals. This rift has already been
started in the pressmen's union
The employers feel that they are the
victims Of an internal union fight In
a statement issued yesterday William
Green, chairman of the Printers
League section of the Association Of
Employing Printers, said

Coolidge a Man of Iron viii,
Boston Police Union Finds
Sphinx of Beacon Hill
Talks Little, but Silence
Speaks Loud; Noted for
His Lean, Hungry Look
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
BOSTON, Sept. 14.-Beacon Hill,
where sits the man who in undramatic
fashion has stood the test of dramatic
police strike situation in this city, has
doubly earned it's name the past week.
This man has sat firm, dogged in his
determination not to yield to the Cen
trail Labor Union Of Boston. From
Bet con Hill he has called men to him
and from there brought nearer the
hope Of settlement of the strike.
10 one who has never seen Governor
Calvin Coolidge Of Massachusetts,, he
is sphinx or an enigma. He talks
little. 1t is his silenccs which seem to
speak loudest, for when one ventures
to put question to him the answer
comes in the tightening of the Cover
nor's lean face and the closing Of his
lips. He has a lean and hungry look,
and the Policemen's Union and the
Central Labor Union of Boston dis
covered that such men are dangerous.
Contrary to the accepted charactcris-
tics of the usual sort of politicians,
"Cal" Coolidge seldom smiles, hardly
ever does any handshaking and has a
reputation that his word is as good as
geld.
Typical New Englander
"Ethnologists in search of specimens
to be preserved in bronze or marble as
reminder Of the type Of the true New
Englander for future generations
should come to Beacon Hill and take
the measure of the Governor He is the
type of New Englandcr one sees on the
stage-long and thin. He has red hair
tinged with gray. A pair of pale-blue
eyes pierce the veil of silonce that usu-
ally envelops his face. Where other

grave. Where home folks pretend to
effervesce with enthusiasm for Wis
itor or the possessor Of vote the Gov
ernor is austere, aloof and forbidding.
Generally speaking, Governor Cool
idge is a living contradiction Of that
school of politicians anxious for
career. Massachusetts politicians, not
do him homage, but few, if any, have
ever discovered the secret of his sue
cess. Politicians say that it would be
impossible TO beat Coolidge in an clcc-
garded as unbeatable, and has proved
to mention the people of Massachusetts.
himself so from the moment he entered
politics. He has passed without threat
of fear from member of the Legislat-
ure, president Of the Senate and Lieu
tenant Governor to Governor of the
state. The Governor is a Republican,
but it is said that the Democrats Of
Massachusetts would do anything for
him, many Of them as much as vote
for him.
Comes From Vermont Farm
Mr.. Coolidge came to Massachusetts,
from q Vermont farm, and it is said
that he is as proncient in the secrets
of scientific agriculture as he is in the
law. He is retiring and reticent, takes
no part whatever in social life, and

Labor Crisis
Continued from pngc

IAN improvement in general business
conditions and the continuance of an
undertone Of confidence" and "a dis
tirct Improvement in the labor and
employment outiook.'
During April according to The
Bulltin," business generally is con-
sidcred on better and stronger foot
ing" there is less unemployment, and
production was increasing in almost
all lines. In May it reports q "notice-
able upward trend in business, with
evidences Of great activity in certain
lines" and says that "reports point
to summer and fall of unusual ac-
tivity." 1t was about this time that
the number Of strikes began increas-
ing. For June "The Bulletin" told of
even better business, and reported full
employment and somc labor shortage.
Following this, in Juy, the number of
strikes, so far as available data show,
reached its high mark. 1t was also in
July that the commercial reports began
to show a falling off in production.
inquiries Ilduc Oh tno ncaQ9 or the
departments of labor Of the various
states show that most of them suffer
from the same lack of information
that cripples the national department,
but the opinions expressed and the
estimates given in their replies show
81 fair agreement on facts, though there
is sharp cleaverage between the men
who are apparently politicians and
those who seem to be ex-labor leaders
who have been appointed to the posts.
Practically all Of those who replied
report an increased labor unrest,
though few measure it. Those that do
run from 20 per cent increase in
trouble to "thrce times the normal
amount" Only one state, Missouri,
reports that there is less unrest than
10 usual.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-15

have gone UP in at least the same
ratio.
Tho opinions of leading bankers in
various cities are much more pessl is
tic than those of the labor commis-
sioncrs. but agreed with theirs on the
main facts. The bankers estimated
the increase in unrest and in labor
troubles far higher than did the labor
commissioners, the general opinion
placing it at more than twice the nor
nal. They agreed as to tho shortage
Of labor and the maintenance Of the
standard Of living, and were unani-
nous in declaring that there had been
a Very serious loss in efficiency among
the workers. None put this loss at
less than 20 per cent; one estimated
it at 40 per cent, and simply stated
that it was "alarming' or "startling."
1t is characteristic OF the general
lack of detailed Information that in
one state the labor commi issi0ner re
ported that there we're no strikes,
while the leading banker Of its great
Industrial centre writes: "'The number
Of strikes on at this time is more than
twice that Of year ago, probably
three times
number Of strikes now going on come
furnish confidential information to
business. These figures do not pur-
port to be complete, and in several
cases the information given about the
strikes listed is meagre, but as they
are based always on the same sources
Of information they do furnish a
means Of comparison.
The principal demand, as always, is
for higher wages, though shorter
hours and, to still less extent, union
recognition or powers are involved.
There Is a noticeable reduction in
the number of sympathetic strikes. or
those brought on by revolutionary agi-
tators. as compared with three months
ago, the slump dating from about the
time of the failure of the attempt at
Winnipeg.
Unemployment Crisis
Is Virtually Over
Unemployment has practically dis
appeared, and there is now a labor
shortage in most centres.
There has been general shorten
ing of hours The sixty-hour week
ten-hoar working day--has practically
disappeared. In many industries the
nine-hour day still exists. but it is
being driven out. The forty
elGnt-nOur week Is general and IN
about half the strikes now going on,
where data can be secured and the
question of hours is involved, the de-
mand is for less than forty-eght hours
- for, ,y-fivc, forty-four forty and in
one case q thirty-hour week being
sought.
In spite of the high number of
strikes it seems certain that far more
increases in wages and reductions OF
hours have been granted without
strikes than as a result of them.
There is reported among the workers
spirit which will not compromise,
for there is less demand for official
mediation in proportion te the number
of strikes than is usual.
Finally, the employers are reported
meeting the situation with more
conciliatory attitude than in the past,
and are making serious efforts to make
working conditions more attractive, as
we'll as to reach better understandings
with their men.
