Any statement that the company,
in it's past dealings with union labor,
ever offered Substantial increases" is
untrue.
Considerable emphasis having been
given to the statement that Butte
Typographical Union repudiated a
signed contract, here are the facts:
The agreement was executed prior
to expiration of the Little Steel For
mula", and was contrary to the laws
of the International Typographical
Union, being declared illegal by the
executive council of the International
Typographical Union, with which the
Butte Union is affiliated and is sub
ordinate to, and whose laws the local
union is obligated to obey.
On September 20 Butte Typograph-
ical Union unanimously rescinded its
action in signing the illegal agreement
and Butte and Anaconda unions lined
up with Helena and Missoula unions
in demands for new contracts, this
joint procedure having been followed
in previous negotiations.
Followed weeks endeayor to ne

to secure action being resisted by the
company with dilatory tactics and
