Cities i'm Action Called ON
May / in Attempt to Es-
tablish the 44-Hour Week
4,387 Out, Says Union
AlIege 242 Firms Have
Signed; Employers Assert
259 Are Now Open Shops

Representatives of the employers in
commercial printing shops and the of
ncers of the International Typograph4
ical Union each claim to have the adj
vantage in the strike called Nav / to
establish the forty-four-hour week.
The International Typographical
Union states its membership in the
strictly book and job shops to be
1925 and that only 4,3s7 members
are on it's list to receive strike
benefits. The strike, which started on
May 2 in ninety cities, now involves
only BIS shops, 242 shops having
signed up for the forty-four-hour
week.
The employers claim that a much
greater number went on strike and
the number has been estimated as
high as 10000. Two hundred and fifty
nine shops have been declared open
shops. Those shops which have
signed up are said to be "onc-man''
shops or those owned by printers who
are members of the union. The larger
shops are firm for the Congratulations
week and are backed by civic associa-
tions and business organizations re-
fusing to give work to the forty four
hour shops. One very noticeable fea-
ture Of the strike is the adoption of
the open shop or American plan.
Reports From Printing Centers
Recent reports from printing CEN
tiers indicate that the larger employ
ers are firm for the forty eight-hour
week. Philadelphia is nearly 100 per
cent strong for forty-eigHt hours
Freshmen have joined with the union
printers, but have not called out ali
pressmen in the Curtis publishing
plant. The employers claim that half
of the commercial plants are operat.
ing. No Typothetae member in Bos-
ton has settled with the union. Thirty
nine pressmen broke from the union
and signed up, making fifty now at
work.
Printers in Cleveland struck in all
the large plants. Some of the printers
have returned to work and the en-
ployers are adding to their forces by
advertising fer aelp. Grand Rapids,
MichY reports employers firm for
the forty-eight-hour week and some
plants operating at 10 per cent pro-
duction. Fifty~seven firms in st. Louis
declared for the open shop. These
shops do 65 per cent of the commercial
printing.
In Baltimore 112 plants out of 116
are standing firm for forty-eight hours
and report the strikers to be return
ing to work. Harrisburg has twenty.
five shops employing $50 men. Two

Supreme Court Justice James C. Van
Siclen replied Yesterday to the attack
m AIDE upon him at mass meeting held

Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. He
said that what Mr.. Gompers needed
was 81 spanking, and that If the labor

he would send him to jail
The meeting at which Mr.. Gompcrs
assailed Justice Van Siclen was called
to protest against the use of court in
functions in labor disputes. Mr.. Com
pers quoted the justice as saying that
the courts were the Representatives of
capital, and said that a man of Justice
Van Siclen's type was not fit to sit on
the bench and should be impesched
He challenged the justice TO hale him
into court for contempt for his re-
marks.
Justice Van Siclen said that in his
statements Mr.. Gompers was unfair
He declared his critic had not recited
the reSt of the opinion from which he
quoted, and he added that he had re,
ceived as much criticism for it from,
capital as he had from labor.

Riot i'm Albany Strike;
Cars Halted and Stoned

ALBANY, May 19.-Rioting broke out
tonight in connection with the strike
of former employees Of the United
Traction Company, which began more
than three months ago. The disorders
apparently were caused by new move
by the police to drive motor passenger
conveyances, which have been compel
ing with the traction company, from
the streets. Forty automobilists were
arrested and tire license plates removed
from their machines.
Most of the rioting took place near
the Postoffice and the Union Station.
Several non-union men who were op-
Grating the trolleys were assaulted and
the windows in their cars broken with
stones.
The frightened crews made no at
tempt to run the cars to the North AL
bany barns, but stopped in front of the
hotel where they live and dashed with
in doors.
Car service was suspended about two

amounted to $25,5o4,O73 at the punt
tive rates prescribed by the national
agreement. Under former arrange
ments providing for straight overtime
at pro rata rates this would have
amounted to $l7,7s6,188. The addi-
tional S7,75S,ss5 represents ths penalty
imposed upon the company by the
agreement requiring payment of punt
tive rates"
Mr.. Smith said he asked the Director
General to modify the rule, telling him
that the railroads would rather pay g
premium to employees to get the trains
in on time than a reward for keeping
them out overtime. The Director Gen
eral refused to change the order.
