TYPOTHETAE OPPOSE
WEEK OF A HOURS
Never Agreed to Introduction
in Printing Industry, As
serts Council.
AGAINST REDUCING WORK
Says Closed Shop Division Has
No Power to Represent
Whole Body.

CHICAGO. Aprii s.-The executive
council OF the United TypothetR Of
America issued the following statement
to-day:
"The United Typothetse of America. as
a body, has never agreed to the intro
duction of the forty-four hour week In
the printing industry.
"By resolutions adopted at its annual
conventions, held in 1919 and 1920. the
United Typotheta of America has un-
equivocaily disapproved of any reduc-
tion in the present working hours and
recommends to its members that they
resist any attempt TO enforce such re-
duction except where such reduction has
already been agreed to by contract
'The closed shop division of the
United Typothets of America, distinct
and separate organization In ITSELF has
never been and could not be empowered
tc represent the United Typothete of
America in any negotiations or agree
ments considered by the international
Joint conference council
'4The executive council of the United
'Typothetae OF American brands as alb
solutely false the statement that the
United Typothetae OF America Is q
party to any agreement made between
the representatives of any printing
trades unions and any employing print
ers acting in their individual capacity
or as members Of division.
1T should be recognized that the
closed shop division OF the United Ty-
pothetae of America enjoys complete
autonomy in the conduct Of Its affairs
and the executive council Of the United
Typothetae OF America wishes to par
ticularly emphasize the fact that the
membership Of the United Typothetae of
America as whole has never been,
nor could 1t be. represented in the de-
liberations OF the International joint
conference council, nor can 1t be bound
by the conclusions thereof.
The executive council Of the United
Typothetae OF America believes that
the deliberate and repeated Justification
by labor union representatives as to the
attitude of the United Typothetae of
America on 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 defence
of their already expressed refusal to
agree to a reduction in working hours

TO MEET AGAIN TO-DAY

Organized labor in New York city
began yesterday to concentrate it's
forces to fight the use Of injunctions

The executive committee OF tho
Central Trades and Labor Council,
representing approximately 100000
union workers, at conference ad-
dressed by Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation Of Labor,
in the Continental Hotel, decided to
give its entire support to the move
meut to fight In the courts against
the Issuance Of injunctions forbidding

While the proposed plans Of the union
leaders we're not made public. 1t Is
understood that the best legal counsel
possible will be hired and the full re-
sources of the American Federation OF

lower courts have rendered adverse de-
cisions.

Labor, It was learned. also will be asked
to back the movement when 1t meets
next Thursday in Albany. Mr.. Gompers
made no statement after the meeting

under way with which 1t hopes to sue
cessfully meet the court attacks
The conference was arranged by Ben
jamin Schlesinger. president Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, who went to Washington and
called President Gomperss attention to
the series of injunctions obtained from
New York and Kings county courts pre-
venting picketing by various organiza-
tions in the needle trades. He pointed
out the danger that all strike activity
of New York labor organizations would
be forbidden by orders of Supreme
Court Justices.
Among those at the conference were
Morris Hillquit. counsel for the union
OF which Mr.. Schlesinger Is the head.
and John Sullivan president Of the
Central Trades and Labor Council. 1t

PEOPLE REALIZING ON RAILROAD
 ALREADY

The people of the Interior are already beginning to profit from the benefits of the Alaska Railroad, and if MT. Gerig and his associates who engaged in working through tariff schedule from Seattle Fairbanks of S45 ton, the benefits will be inn mense. MT Gerig estimates that it will reduce the cost of living 50 per cent. Such reduction should make it so people could operate many mines and carry many directions that high operating costs prevent at the present time -t
 However, the benefits to the Interior are not con- fined the reduction of the cost of transport ating freight They get freight in whole year through whereas before the completion of the railroad it only during the four months of navigation on the Yukon waterway. This required merchants to carry very large stocks of goods subject to wastage slrnkage and deterioration during the nine months that it remained In cold storage ware houses, not mention the cost of insurance interest the investment care and other costs.
 Two trains operated each week, and the time consumed by travel is only four days from Seward or eleven days from Seattle This improves the mail service and reduces the of and time of travel between the coast and the Interior.
 The completion of the railroad means a great deal the people of the Interior of Alaska and that the effects will surely be noticeable in very short time
