The unions, acting in accordance with
old-established provisions of their con-
tracts with union employers, are now
refusing to handle Donnelley's "emer
gency" work unless the company will
agree in writing to end it's "Open shop"
warfare against them. Originating in
Chicago, enforcement of the "struck
work" clause against Donnelley has
since spread to other cities, notably to
Philadelphia, where eastern editions Of
Time and Life had been printed.

story printed in Life, and on the con

Leading officials of the CLIO,
A.F.L. and railroad brOtherhoods have
characterized LIES Detroit story as

article was on alleged ''interracial
strife" in the Motor City. According to
the Chicago Printing Trades Unions
Publisher Luce himself has become an
accessory to ''interracial strife" by
having his printing done at the anti
union Donnelley plant, whose racial
and religious discrimination was made
the object of recent investigation by
the National Religion and Labor
Foundation. An R.I.L. committee -
composed of a Catholic priest and two
Protestant ministers, one of them q
Negro-was able, after a number of
SnubS, to gain an audience with the
Donnelley concern. The company's posi-
ton was that 'it was not answerable
to any outside group and was within
