Stories of Painters
Walkout GarbIed

Members of the International
Brotherhood of Painters, Dec.
orators and PaperhangerS, Local
No. 1853, went back to work at
the Capitol yesterday under cir
cumStances which were partially
overlooked or enormously reported
in news accounts.
The understanding by which the
union painters took up their
brushes again includes the proVi-
sion that the conditions behind
their strike, which began on Tues
day, shall be settled by suitable
committees of the Senate and the
House OF Representatives.
Those who walked out were 48
union men and several nonunion
men who acted in sympathy. The
other nonunion painters were
taken off the various jobs on
Capitol Hill-except the Senate
Office Building-by David Lynn,
architect of the Capitol.
There was no quarrel between
the union and the Senate Rules
Committee, which hires only union
men in that part of Capitol Hill
under its command and-also con-
trary to a story printed in rival
afternoon neWspaper-the media.

ton service of the Department of
Labor was only partly responsible
for the settlement actually reached
between Lynn and Bryce P. Hol.
combe, business agent of Local
No. 1853.
Another and more serious error
that saw publication was the
statement that the union wanted
only union men employed. Hol-
combe says they have never even
thought of a closed shop at the
Capitol. The union desires only
that reasonable basis Of ap-
portionment shall be worked out,
possibly along the ratio of union
to nonunion painters on private
jobs here. Further, the painters
local is chagrined by the introduc-
ton of out-of-toWn workers.
