The Truth About
the 44-Hour Week

An Associated Press Dispatch from Indianapo-
lis, May 2. quoting John Mcfarland, president Of
the International Typographical Union says:
"He said employees were dealing with employers
individually. BECAUSE THE EMPLOYERS HAD
NO TANGIBLE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
TO WORK WITH
This IS exact statement of the case. The en-
ploying printers Of Topeka are not members of
any organization which has or ever has had
authority to bind them to a 44-hour week The
president Of the International typographical
Union admits this.
Here is the official statement of the Executive
Council of the United Typothetae of America:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-05-04
What the u. 7. A. Has to Say
About the 44-Hour Week

l. The United Typothetae of America as a
body, has never agreed to the Introduction of til
4+hour week IN the printing industry
2 BY resolutions adopted at its annual conver-
tons held in 1919 and 1920 the United Typothetae
of America has unequivocaIly disapproved Of any
reduction IN the present working hours and recon-
n1ends to its members that they resist any at
tempt to enforce such reduction except where su-h
reduction has already been agreed to by contract.
g. The Closed Shop Division of the United
Typothetae Of America, a distinct and separate
organization in itself has been and could not
be empowered to represent the United TypothetEa
of America N any negotiations or agreements COT
sidered by the International Joint Conference
Council.
A. The executive council of the United Typothet-e
of America brands as absolutely false the state
ment that the United Typothetae of America is a
party to any agreement made between the repre-
sentatfves Of any printing trades unions and any
employing printers acting IN their individual Ca
pacIty members of a division
s. It should be recognized that the Closed Shop
Division Of the United Typothetae of America en-
joys complete autonomy IN the conduct of its at
fairs, and the executive council of the United
Typothetae of America wishes to particularly
phasize the fact that the membership of the
United Typothetae of America, as a whole, has
never, could it be, represented in the deIibera-
tons Of the international Joint Conference Couu-
Gil nor it-be bound by the conclusions thereof
6. The executive council of the United Tyr
othetae of America believes that the deliberate
and repeated Justification by labor union repre-
sentatives to the attitude of the United Typ
othetae of America the proposed shorter work
week now warrants and demands that such Of its
members as are under no contract to the contrary
take the most vigorous and positive action IN de-
tense of their already expressed refusal to agree
to any reduction IN working hours.
Executive Council United Typothetae Of America.
No broken contract-no broken promises IN
volved in the printers strike here It IS simply
demand for a shorter work week at a time when
every man should realize that adjustments to u
lower cost Of living and to normal conditions
IN business are absolutely necessary.
