Anti Union Policy of DonnellY's
Notorious Printing Firm Uncovered

Chicago Organization Committee also
blocked the scheme and Moody's is still
printed in union shops.
"Time" and Life" two weekly
periodicals of national circulation, and
the catalogues of the Sears-Roebuck
mail order concern are still printed by
Donnelley & Sons Company, but the
sales of the periodicals are reported to
have been cosiderably reduced by the
knowledge of the five million members
of the American Federation of Labor
that they are printed by non-union
firm.
Organized labor's dispute with the
non-union R. R. Donnelley & Sons
Company came before the annual A,

Would Destroy AFL
Unions On CHICAGO
Daily Newspapers
Combination Of Guild And
N. L. R. B. Try Hdrd To
Hit A. F. Of L.
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago QLNS).-The American
Newspaper Guild is at it again in
Chicago. Or rather the National La
Dor Relations Board, at the instigation
of the guild, has set up court of al
legged investigation in the Chicago
Federal Building with the objective of
destroying two American Federation
of Labor local unions of "front Office
and editorial room employees; of gain
ing foothold in each and all of the
daily newspaper mechanical depart
ments, and of causing general con-
fusion and discord between the pub
fishers and the legitimate trade unions
with which they have maintained con-
tractural relations for many years.
The American Newspaper Guild
filed charge with the National Labor
Relations Board that the management
of the two Chicago Hearst daily news
papers had coerced and used various
unfair means to compel the editorial
room and "front office" employees to
join the Chicago Editorial Association
and the Newspaper Commercial AS
sociates, both chartered by the A. F
of L. This was an alleged violation of
the unfair labor practices" provision
of the Wagner act.
Previous Case Postponed
Previously, from May 26 to June IA
1888, the guild had tried to make a
case against each and all Of the Chi
cago printing trades unions. Under
the leadership of Don Stevens, guild
organizer, and Ben Meyers, young
lawyer who earns precarious liveli-
hood representing super-radical causes
the guild made such a poor showing
that the NLRB at Washington was
forced to postpone the case indefinite.
ly."
These two cases were consolidated
with another case of similar purport
late in October, and the whole business
was reopened with the view of bally'
hooing Chicago newspaper employees
in all departments into joining the
guild in sufficient numbers to give the

The Shiny and subversive tactics
used by the non-union R. R. Donnelley
& Sons Company, of Chicago, Illinois
in its campaign against organized la
Dor in general and the Chicago print
ing trades unions in particular, was
thoroughly revealed in a statement to
the recent annual convention Of the
American Federation of Labor at
Houston, Texas, by Nicholas M. Di-
Pietro, delegate from the Internation-
al Typographical union. Mr.. DiPietro
traced the history of this anti-union
firm from 1906 when it's founder was
head of committee which undertook
to destroy organized labor in Chicago
and the Building Trades Unions of the
Middle West.
1t was asserted by Mr.. DiPietro
that the Organization Committee of
the Chicago Trade Unions, which is
carrying on strong fight against
Donnelley, has persuaded the publish
ers of 48 telephone directories in In
diana to remove their work from Don
nelley and have the directories printed
under union conditions. Another re-
suit in the campaign against Donnelley
is the removal from that firm of the
Catholic Messenger, which has cir
culation of quarter of a million, and
the transfer of it's work to a union
shop.
With the loss of these jobs, Don
nelley endeavored to land the contract
for printing Moody's Financial Pub
locations, but the intervention Of the

Trade Questions
Settled By LII l46
Casters Advised To Refe,
Problems To Standing
Committee

Paden City, w. Va.-Local Union
No. 146 had large attendance at the
last meeting and very orderly and
business like session was carried on.
Some general matters regarding
trades were brought up, fully discuss
ed and settled.
+ A general resolution was brought on
the floor by committee from the Pot
ters headed by Joe Scott and from the
Flint Glass Workers Union by Har-
ley Weaver. The resolution was ap-
proved by the national president of
the Glass Workers Union and the Pot
ters desire an approval from our natl
onal president. The resolution has to
do with taxation of labor saving de-
vices and boycott Of foreign-made
goods.
The casters brought a proposition
on the floor and were advised by the
Chair to refer such matters to the
Standing Committee. This was agreed
to.
Shop and craft problems engaged
most of the members present in very
lively discussion. Among these was
the mould changing problem, which
was settled by a letter from John
McGillivray, national secretary-treas-
urer.
The Jiggermen and their helpers
voted for conferees to represent them
at East Liverpool for the conference.
Brothers Ernest Grimm and Berl Hen
thorne were chosen. We hope to hear
very good report on this conference
next meeting night.-O. G. JAG.

Editors Note: This is the third in a
series of articles explaining Ohio's
Unemployment Compensation Law,
which enters into its most important
phase on January /, 1939-the pay
ment of benefits. This article explains
how the fund from which unemploy-
ment benefits will be paid was created
and how it will be maintained. Sub
sequent articles will deal with bene-
fits, procedure, eligibility and other
features of the law with which every
workingman and woman should be ia
miliar.
When unemployment compensation
benefits become payable after January
l, 1889, fund in excess of $11O, O,000,-
900 from which these benefits will be
paid will be on deposit with the Treas
urer of the United States to the credit
of the Ohio Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission.
This huge fund has been accumu-
lated by collecting quarterly contribu-
tions from employers of three or more
workers in covered industries, in
amounts based on the total wages
payable to employees.
Approximately $4,000 employers of
nearly 100000 workers are subject
to the law in Ohio, and the accumu-
lation of the unemployment compen-
sation fund in preparation for payment
of benefits has been in progress since
1886.
Employers contributions for 1896
were collected in a lump sum under a
rate of $50 on all wages payable to
employees, including all remuneration

ment by William Green, president OF
the A. F. of L. But at the same time
Mr.. Green warned that if the railway
workers were forced to strike against
the s250,C00,O00 wage slash proposed
by the carriers, the Federation unitedly
would support them.
"The facts in the wage controversy
between railroad management and
railway labor have now been clearly
presented to the public" Mr.. Green
said.
Several months ago when business
conditions were much worse than they
are now the railroads ordered a Is
per cent wage cut. Railway labor re-
fused to accept the reduction and
voted almost unanimously to go on
strike if it were placed in effect.
Lauds Boards Opposition to Wage Cut
"Since then various Government
agencies have considered the problem
and finally the President appointed a
fact-fnding board to investigate the
issues. This board reported to the
President a few days ago. 1t recon-
mended that railroad management
abandon its demand for the pay cut.
81 cannot compliment too highly the
cogent reasoning of this board. Com
ing at this time, a 250,OO0,00O rail-
way labor pay reduction would strangle
recovery. 1t might precipitate gen.
eral wave of pay cuts throughout in
dustry and adversely affect business
and agriculture as we'll as labor by cur
failing purchasing power.
"The Railway Labor Executives AS
sociation deserves the highest praise
for the admirable way, in which. it, has
conducted the negotiations in behalf
of railway labor.
."F Support For Strike Pledged
"If management, in the face of IA
vorable business developments, per-
sists in the foolhardy course of going
through with the pay cut, railway la
Dor has no other recourse but to
strike. In such a strike, railway Ia
Dor will have the complete support Of
the American Federation of Labor to
the full extent of its resources.
"But surely there is a better way
out of this dilemma than a strike.
Surely railway management can see
that strike would have far-reaching
not only to the country
as whole but to the present control
Of the railroads. Why shouldn't rail-
way management agree to a peaceable
and constructive solution of the prob
lem, which really lies not in the wage
structure, but in the financial structure
of the railroads?
Favors Legislative Aid
"The President has pointed the way
out. He has urged railway manage
ment to drop its insistence on a wage
cut and concentrate on a legislative

Poy for Projects

District officials are expected to
reach a final decision within a few
days as to whether the District
should pay any part of the cost of
the proposed projects for reduction
of the amount of sewage which
Maryland communities now dump
into the Anacostia River above
the District line.
A joint committee representing
the District and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission,
which has been surveying various
engineering proposals for some
weeks, is about to complete its work.
Engineer Commissioner David Nc
Coach, jr.. said today he expected
a report from the joint group before
the end of the week.
Officials of the Suburban Commis-
sion hope the District will agree to
a form of cooperation which will
make possible P. w. A. advance
of loans and grants to solve the
pollution problem. Following a con-
ference with the Commissioners
about two weeks ago, COL McCoach
and Melvin C. Hazen. president of
the Board of Commissioners, said
they were willing to permit a con-
nection of Maryland sewers with the
District system provided Maryland
paid present and future costs for
the solution of the Maryland prob
lem.
Col. McCoach last night added to
that statement his personal COM
ment that he believed the cost
could be made by Maryland and the
District lin proportion to the rela-
tive sources of pollution and the
benefits to be received" In further
discussion today he declined to COM
NIT himself as to any division of
the cost until after he had received
and studied the report of the joint
