PUBLISHERS TO
 TAKE NEXT STEP

Washington, Jan 23-UP)- President Roosevelt said today that the next step in the dispute involv- ing jurisdiction over labor disputes within the newspaper business was for the publishing code authority to establish 6 tribunal to consider such cases.
 In letter yesterday MT Roose. welt informed the national labor relations board that labor boards authorized by code agreements had sole Jurisdiction In disputes aris- ing within the businesses governed by those codes. At his press con- ference today the president said his policy was based upon a desire to have the government live up to the letter of It's agreements. Disagreement over Jurisdiction arose over the complaint of Dean S. Jennings. former employe of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin, that his activities as 6 member of the newspaper guild had been in- terfered.
 MT Roosevelt said today that the newspaper code authority had failed to establish the labor board authorized by the code. Asked what was the next step In the Jen- nings case. Mir Roosevelt said it was for the code authority to es- tablish the authorized labor board.
 MT Roosevelt said the publish CTS had contended that the nation al labor relations board had not had sufficient cause to act In the Jennings case in which the deci- sion finally favored the employe. He added that he was endeavoring to give the publishers all the rope in the world.
