Union Printers to Fight
Proposed Newspaper Code
President Howard Declares Publishers Proposal Does
Not Conform to Spirit of Recovery Act and That
Employers Seek to Evade Rules Accepted by Other
Industries.

Washington, D. c. ILNS)-The
printing trades unions will oppose the
code proposed by the American News
paper Publishers Association, and
offer substitute when hearings are
held, Charles P. Howard, president of
the International Typographical
Union, announced here
President Howard denounced the
code of the publishers as not conform
ing to either the letter or the spirit
of the national industrial recovery act
and as prepared without conference
and without consideration of the
rights of the employees or their rep
resentatives" He added that an invi-
tation from the Typographical Union
to the publishers for conferences was
not accepted, and that it was appar-
ent the publishers "intended to use
their great influence to escape rule
and regulations which were to be ap-
piled to every other industry in the
nation"
"The Representatives of the en-
ployes," Howard continued, will re-
sist the code presented, and we shall
oppose modification of Section z of the
national recovery act as it attempts
to restrict the rights of the workers,
prevent them from bargaining coll
lectively through representatives of
their own choosing, and also legal
izing individual contracts between en-
ployers and employees.
Eve shall also oppose the 40 and
44-hour week proposed in the code.
"The members of the Typographical
Union have spread employment by
limiting themselves to five days per
week for five days pay. In addition
to this they have accepted reductions
in wage rates, and have assessed

ployers who discharge employees be-
cause they have joined a trade union
are provoking industrial unrest and
fomenting strikes, William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, declared in pointing
out that the right of workers to or
eanize, bargain collectively and be
represented by men of their own
choosing must be maintained, recog-
nized and respected.
''No employer can justify his
action in discharging working people
because they voluntarily organize into
trade unions for mutual helpfulness
and protection" Green said. He con-
tinued:
1T is the purpose of the American
Federation of Labor to accept into
membership all workers who desire to
become organized, to assist them by
counsel and advice and to extend to
them all possible help and assistance.
Such action will tend to allay indus
trial unrest because if workers are
permitted to enjoy rights to which
they are entitled to make real and
vital their desire to unite with their
fellow-men, a state Of mind will be
created favorable to the promotion of
industrial peace. 1t is when they are
prosecuted, discharged from their en-
rloyment and compelled to lose their
jobs merely because they organize

Industrial and Labor Advisory Boards of Ma
tional Recovery Administration Approve Plan
for National Arbitration Board Of Seven Men
to Adjust Labor Disputes Arising Under
Roosevelt's Blanket Code and the Admins
tration Of the National Recovery Act.

Washington.-With the approval of
President Roosevelt, the national re-
covery administration created the Ma
tional Board of Arbitration after sew
eral days of conferences of the indus
trial and Labor Advisory Boards of
the administration
Underlying the formation of the
board was the conviction that unless
some organization with power to ad-
just labor controversies was estab-
lished during the war on the depres-
sion lockouts and strikes would throw
the nation back to the jungle method
of settling disputes.
The board, consisting of seven out
standing leaders of labor, industry
and the public, will conciliate, mediate
and arbitrate labor disputes arising
out of differing interpretations of the
presidents unemployment agreement
and the administration of the recov-
cry act.
It's functions will parallel those of
the War Labor Board, which was set
up by President Wilson in 1918 to
adjust labor disputes during the
World War.
Pointing out the gratifying prog
ress in restoring employment and in
creasing purchasing power by indus
trial codes and the presidents re-
employment agreement, the joint
statement issued by the Industrial
Advisory Board and the Labor Ad-
visory Board announcing the creation
of the National Board of Arbitration
expressed the fear that the
situation may be jeopardized by
different interpretations of the codes
and agreement by some employers
and employees, and appealed to all
those connected with industri rela-
tions to unite in the preservation of
industrial peace.
Jobless Increased by Labor Disputes
STRIKES and lockouts will increase
unemployment" the statement said
"and create a condition clearly out of
harmony with the spirit and the pur-
pose of the industrial recovery act.
Through the application of the act
the government is sincerely endeavor-
ing to overcome unemployment
through nationwide reduction in the
hours of work and to increase pur-
chasing power through an increase in
wage rates. This objective can only
be reached through cooperation on
the part of all those associated with
industry"
Expressing the conviction that the
greatest degree of cooperation on
the part of labor and management
could only be developed if all possi-
BILE causes of industrial discomfort are
removed, the statement urged that
the rights of both employees and en-
ployers be mutually respected and
that aggressive action in controver-
sizes be avoided as provocative of dis
cord, and appealed to the "sound judg-
ment and patriotism of all our peo-
pie" to assist in settling the most
vexatious problems between employ
ers and employees with justice and ex-
pedition. "In that way only can the

themselves heavily to pay benefits and
grant relief for those for whom there
was no employment.
During the period of the depres-
sion the entire burden of caring for
the unemployed has rested upon the
shoulders of the employed members
and no part of this burden has been
borne by the employers. Now the
association presents a code which
would extend the hours of labor
rather than reduce them"
Representatives of New York print
ing trades unions came to Washing
ton this week to file emphatic protest
with the recovery administration
against the notifications of the
newspaper code, and New York Print
ers' League code, which have been
made operative to bring the printing
operations covered therein under the
blanket code, permitting use of the
blue eagle.
In the New York delegation were
President Leon Rouse, Vice President
James P Redmond and Austin Hew-
son, Frank Cozzolino and F. Elmer
Brown, of Typographical Union No.
6; and President William Wilson and
Secretary Edward Neway,
of Pressmen's Union ST.
These representatives announced
that New York printing trades and
bookbinders' unions will cooperate in
code matters, acting through a joint
committee and in cooperation with
the printing trades Board of Govern
ors.

ident Charles p Howard, of the In
ternational Typographical Union here,

An increase in business is reported
by Gastonia business men and store
keepers. Even before local workers
had drawn their first pay under the

anticipation of higher wages.

ment and hate is famed to the point
where strikes occur.
Employers exercise the right to
organize as completely as possible in
order to promote their financial and
economic welfare. They cannot deny
the exercise of the same right to
working men and women.
"These are days when all reason
able men and women should unite for
the purpose of overcoming unemploy
ment by making the industrial re-
covery act function in satisfactory
and successful way. In order to
achieve this purpose the National La
Dor Board has been created for the
purpose of settling industrial disputes
and for the purpose of applying the
remedy to the causes of industrial
conflict.
"Working men and women will not
foment strife and industrial unrest by
merely exercising their right to or
ganize. Employers can, however, pro-
woke strikes by discharging workers
because they organize.
"Industrial peace can be promoted
and advanced through organization,
cooperation and understanding on the
part of those associated with indus
try. If the employers of labor expect
the workers and the public to respect
their rights they must respect the
rights of the workers to safeguard
their interests through organization
and collective bargaining"
