DONNELLEY TO
CONTINUE OPEN SHOP
BUT NEARS END

Chicago (ILNS).-The anti-union
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co., also
known as the Lakeside Press, will con-
tinue its open-shop policy.
T. E. Donnelley, chairman of the
firms board of directors, has so de-
creed, in a statement issued to his en-
ployes.
In reply, N. M. Di Pietro, executive
secretary of the Organization Com
mittee of the Chicago Printing Trades
Unions, said that the statement
merely reiterated the position that
company has held for nearly 40
years." adding:
"It is not possible to understand
the statement of policy unless the
open-shop, as the Lakeside Press un-
derstands it, is fully understood"
Di Pietro told International Labor
News Service that "from the time our
unions were locked out of Lakeside's
plant nearly 40 years ago, our men,
bers have been effectively barred from
that plant" and said that only "since
the National Labor Relations Act was
adopted has the company refrained
from discharging employees who per-
mitted their union sympathies to be-
come known" He revealed that the
unions "have in their possession
scores of copies of the yellow-dog
contract that Donnelley compelled en-
ployes to sign as the price of holding
job at Lakeside"
eve have found evidence of the
cruelest kind of discrimination in the
company's treatment of it's employees"
he declared "Such abuses have to
some extent been corrected since our
unions launched their counter often
sive, but many of them still exist.
Much of the evidence has been placed
before the National Labor Relations
Board, and still more will be placed
before that board from time to time.
"Donnelley's latest statement prom
ises cooperation. We will give the
company plenty of opportunity to CO.
operate. Arbitrary rule is about ended
at Donnelley's, as public sentiment is
solidly behind the Chicago printing
trades unions in their crusade"

tising medium of Chicago's big de-
partment stores. 1t also does millions

Basic State Legislation For Protection
OF Labor Should Be Maintained,
Seven Federal Agencies Warn
Blanket Suspension Held Not Needed Temporary Modi-
cations Certain Labor Standards Permitted
Under Proper Safeguards; Laws Preserved

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) There
is no need for blanket suspension of
state labor laws, seven agencies of
the Federal Government, six of them
war agencies, declared in an emphatic
warning against general lowering of
labor standards.
The War, Navy and Labor Depart
ments, the War Production Board,
War Manpower Commission, Mari
time Commission and Office of De-
fense Transportation joined in a
declaration that longtime production
had been aided by preserving laws
regulating hours of work and safe
conditions.
The statement was issued to state
labor commissioners in response to
inquiries as to whether the war pro-
duction and transportation programs
would require further amendment of
state legislation.
Basic Principles Listed
State laws embracing seven basic
principles should be preserved except
where modification might be neces-
sary to insure the maximum produc-
ton, the statement urged. The basic
principles were listed as follows:
/. A maximum 48-hour week
q An 8-hour day.
3. One day of rest in Z.
d. Adequate rest and meal periods.
s. Adaptation of hours of work and
working conditions to the age and sex
of the workers, except that there be
no relaxation of standards governing
employment of those under 16 years
old
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-01-15

6. Proper safeguards for health
and safety.
7. The same wage rates for women
as for men.
1t was pointed out that the recon-
mendation as to hours in no way af-
fects provisions of the Wage-Hour
Act requiring time-and-a-h half pay for
all work over 40 hours a week Re-
ports to the Department of Labor
shows that practically all war produc-
tion plants in the United States are
operating at least 48 hours week.
Reports from the field show that
state labor standards have not inter-
fered with war production" the state
ment said.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-01-15
Temporary Changes Made

Temporary modification of certain
labor standards has been permitted
under proper safeguards, and at the
same time maximum longtime pro-
duction has been aided by preserving
laws regulating hours of work and
establishing working conditions.
"In some states it has been neces-
sary to enact legislation authorizing
such action for the war period; in
other states temporary modification
has been authorized under existing
laws or under the emergency powers
of the governor.

Production Peak
Near, WPB Hints

WASHINGTON. Oct. % HNS)
--WPB announced tonight that
overall war material production
failed to gain in September. indi-
eating that the nation may he
nearing the peak OF its war man
ufacturing ability.
The board reported that NUM-
tons output in September held
substantially TO the August level
although important vance :
were made in production Of
planes, ammunition and other
major items.
WILSON CITES CAUSES
Acting WPB Chairman Charles
F.. Wilson said that the poor
production records for several
items may be traced TO impend-
ing or recent cut-backs in pro-
grams. Other factors such as de-
sign changes, failure of parts or
materials 10 arrive on time and
labor shortages have been contri-
butory causes
Wilson cited the following table
showing production gains over
the previous month:
April, 6 per cent; May. nothing
juno, 2 per cent; July, 3 per cent
August. per cent; September,
nothing.
Additionally. the gain on the
munitions production index was
only one point over the preceding
month compared TO a gain of 20
points in August over July. The
September index stands al 614.
BOMBER OUTPUT RISES
Wilson said that heavy bombers
not only met schedule but ran 6
per cent ahead Of August and as
a result helped push the output
OF plane production up 3 per cent
on an air frame weight basis. In
September 1888 planes were pro-
duced compared to 1872 in Au-
gust.
The report showed that air
planes increased by 4 per cent in
dollar value and that airborne
signal equipment was s per cent
ahead in production.
Ammunition which made poor
showing in August registered a
3 per cent gain in September. and
in artillery and tank gun ammuni-
ton the gain over August was ii
per cent,
