They also took some clothing and
small amount of Jewelry belonging to
Mr.. White, but obtained none of Mrs.
Whites jewels, Mr. White said to-day.
Reports that official Government doc
uments were included among the papers
were said by Mr.. White to be without
foundation. He had refrained from dis
cussing the affair, he said, at the request
Of the police. who hoped to get on the
track of the men.
The thieves entered the house by way
of the porch roof and an open window
leading into a dressing room. 1t Is be-
lieved they arrived in an automobile.
The despatch case was found to-day
on concrete coping at the entrance to
the White estate. Although 1t had been
broken open the papers were intact.
About two dozen of Mr. Whites neckties
were found near. but no jewelry was
recovered.

TYPOTHETAE
DENOUNCE a
HOUR WEEK
Employing Printers Say They
Firmely Oppose Any
Cut In Work Hours

y CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 9-The
United Typothetae of America, as a
body, has never agreed to the in
PRODUCTION of the forty four hour
week in the printing industry, ac-
cording to statement issued today
by their executive council in ses-
sion here.
The statement says:
l The United Typothetae of
America, as a body, has never
agreed to introduction Of the "A
hour week in the printing industry
"2-By resolution adopted at its
annual conventions in 1919 and
1920 the United Typothetae of Anne
rica has unequivocalIy disapproved
any reduction in present working
hours mad recommends TO its mem
bers that they resist any attempt to
enforce such reduction except where
such reduction has already been
agreed to by contract.
"3-The closed shop divisions of
the United Typothetae Of America,
as a distinct organization. has never
been and could not be empowered to
represent the United Typotheae of
Amberica in any negotiation or any
agreements considered by the in
ternational joint conference coun-
Gil.
"4-The executive council of the
United Typothetae of America
brands as absolutely false the state
ment that the United Typothetae of
America is a party to any agree
ment made between the representa-
tives Of any printing trades union
and any employing printers acting
in their individual capacity or mem
bers Of a division.
'5-lt should be recognized that
the closed shop division of the Unit
ed Typothetae Of America enjoys
complete autonomy in the conduct
Of its affairs and the executive coun-
Gil of the united Typethetae of Anne

the fact that membership Of the
United Typothtae of Ameria as a
whole has never been, nor could ii
be, represented in the deliberations
of the internationl joint confidence
council nor can il be bound by the
conclusions thereof.
"6-The executive of the United
Typothetae Of America believes that
the deliberate and repeated falsi-
fication by labor union representa-
tives as to the attitude of the Unit
ed Typothetae of America on the
proposed shorter work week now
warrants and demands that such OF
its members as are under no con
tract TO the contrary take the most
vigorous action in defense Of their
already refusal to agree TO any re-
duction in working hours"
