Sears, Roebuck Management
In Form Letter Used as Reply
To Union Labor Protest Flood
Explaining It's Contract With Union Hating House, Mail
Order Firm Says No Union Plant Could Handle Work
An Assertion Contrary to Fact, With One of Worlds
Biggest Printers Nearby

nearly all of the printing plants
here, union and non-union, are called
upon to help out at times. This is an
untruthful statement that cannot be
backed up with a particle of substan-
tiating evidence.
Buddies Sticking Together
The truth of the matter is that
Julius Rosenwald, the boss of Sears,
Roebuck q Co. wants to give this
work to his old buddy, Thomas E.
Donnelley, chairman of the defunct
Lands award committee, of which
Rosenwald was a member and to
which Rosenwald was member and
to which he contributed large sums
of money.
1t should be of interest to build
ing tradesmen throughout the coun-
try that it is the boast of Sears, Roe
buck & Co. that it sells $15,0OO,O0O
worth of building materials annually.
Union officers might ask president
of Sears, Roebuck whether the facts
as here given are not true.

COAL INDUSTRY
Needs Help By Government

Hanover, N. H.-Congress should
apply it's theory of farm relief to
coal miners who are forced into the
unemployed ranks through no fault
of their own, said Ellis Searles, edi-
tor United Mine Workers Journal,
in an address to Dartmouth College
students.
Congress is discussing a revolving
fund of $500,00O,0O0 to aid the farm
ers, and it can justify the expendi-
ture of $l00,000,0O0 for stabilization
of the equally basic and important
coal industry" said the labor editor.
Labor is glad to see the govern
ment promote the welfare of the mil
lions engaged in the greatest indus
try in America, but why confine re-
lief to agriculture alone? 1t is we'll
known TO congress and everyone else
that the coal industry is in a worse
state of Generalization than the
farming industry. Sterilization of
the coal industry should be of such a
character as to protect the interests
of the miners and mine owners as
well as the consuming public"

Berry Sees Governor
Suggests Plan of Action

Knoxville, Tenn. (ILNS)-Maior
George L. Berry, president of the In
ternational Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union, said here that in
an all-day conference with Governor
Horton he had insisted that the gov
ernor call the strikers and employers
of Elizabethton into conference and
demand settlement. Major Berry
said he had given the governor sug-
gestions as to how to bring about a
settlement. "The opening of the
plants does not in any way settle
the ISSUE he said, adding that it
will accentuate trouble, rather than
reduce it." He added that it was
unfortunate" that the plants had
sought to reopen without arriving at
a permanent settlement with the
workers.

BY JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago, I'll (ILNS) - The mail
order house of Sears, Roebuck &
Co. has been trying to create the i'm
preston throughout the country that
the Chicago printing trades unions
are SO badly disorganized that there
is not union plant or group of union
plants in this city large enough to
handle the enormous qunatity of
printed matter required yearly by
this firm
That is the excuse offered by
Sears, Roebuck & Co. for the letting
of $30,000,000 printing contract to
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company,
100 per cent non-union concern, the
president of which, Thomas E. DON
nelley, has become notorious as the
enemy of all unions.
Not Telling Truth
To be blunt about the matter,
Sears, Roebuck & Co. is not telling
the truth on this point in the form
letter which has been sent broadcast
to trade unions which have sent let
ters of protest to this firm.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. executed it's
own printing in it's own plant, under
union conditions, for many years.
Finally, about five years ago the firm
leased this plant to the Cuneo Print
ing Corporation, which then had and
still has very large printing plant
at Twenty-second and Canal streets.
The Cuneo concern took over the
printing of the Sears, Roebuck & Co.
catalogues and other publicity matter
and continued the old Sears, Roebuck
q Co. printing plant in operating
and brought a large amount of out
side work into that plant.
Among Worlds Largest
The business of the Cuneo Print
ing Corporation has grown tremen-
dously, operating under union condi-
tions, until today it is the owner of
one of the largest printing plants on
earth.
1t can be positively stated that the
Cuneo Printing Corporation could
close down its Sears, Roebuck plant
and execute all of the Sears, Roebuck
printing at the Twenty-second street
plant, except small amount of four
color work, and that that could be
taken care of too, by the installation
of some additional equipment.
AS stated in these dispatches be-
fore, there are a large number of
strictly union printing plants in Chi
cago that never have done any work
for Sears, Roebuck & Co. Notwith-
standing this fact, the management
of the mail order house is telling the
trade unionists of the country that

workers
Elizabethton, Tenn. (nNS)-The
attempt to open the big Bemberg and
Glanzstoff artificial silk and rayon
mills, long tied up by strike, was a
miserable failure. The strike pickets
took out more workers than went in.
Undaunted by the presence in this
little city of 800 national guardsmen,
including a motorized machine gun
company, together with armed depu-
ties, the strikers are reporting in full
force for the picket lines, and are
showing determined spirit that
spells success. The first day the mills
tried to reopen there were between
800 and 1000 workers on picket duty
in the forenoon and l,50O in the
afternoon
Enlisting of new members in the
union is going on rapidly and virtu-
ally 100 per cent enrolment is in
sight. But the strikers will need
help. They confront powerful oppo-
nents and backing of the entire
movement is necessary. This cannot
be emphasized too strongly

coming of troops was drunken fight

ity is peaceful and widespread resent
ment has been aroused by sending

U. S. SHIPPING CONDITIONS
lMPROVE.-The American merchant
marine is now more active than in
several years past, it appears from
the latest shipping data made public
by the U. S. commerce department.
The tonnage of cargo ships laid up in
the country's ports is found to be
nearly 6 per cent less than at the be-
ginning of 1928, and 33 per cent
smaller than in 1924.
This increase in the operation of
American merchant vessels reflects
general improvement in basic condi-
tlons of the worlds shipping industry
which, according to the commerce de-
partment, is now in progress. Ex-
panding overseas trade is providing
employment for more and more of the
laid-up tonnage, it is stated. Rising
freights, moreover, are rendering
profitable operation less difficult.
