Typos To Vote On Strike Fund

WASHINGTON (LPA)-As a curtain raiser to an expected show down struggle with big newspaper publishers of the country, members of the International Typographical Union
 AFL will shortly vote on whether to set up a $500,00O union defense fund. Creation of such fund was author ized unanimously by delegates just be- fore the close last week of the ITU's 88th annual convention in Miami Beach, Fla.
 Among other action, the convention at its closing sessions:
 Voted to fight for laws in each state which would compel employers, whose plants are strikebound, to note that fact in "help wanted" advertisements. Directed officers not to approve any local contract which provides for a work week of more than 371a hours, or vacations with pay of less than two weeks; Voted for an amendment to the unions laws to provide that future contracts shall carry not less than double rates for overtime work

High Inventories
 Leading To Bust?

Washington (LPA)-A bright red danger" signal was flashed last week when the Commerce Dept reported that in July manufacturers inventories rose more sharply than during any other month on record, to an all-time high total of SIS billion
 The high inventories were seen as the first sign of the bust that may follow the present imitation, at least by some financial and industrial ex- perts. Following the government an nouncement, stock prices broke sharp ly, and lost more heavily than at any time since the middle of May, 1940, when Hitler's armies were sWarming across France and the 1ow1ands.
 Current inventory changes are sig nifcant," the Commerce Dept indi- cated, "since they may oive a clue to a slowir~ in consumer buying or may indicate an infationary boom reminis- cent of the last war"

 MT. Schwellenbach denied the charges of people who declare that organized labor is short-sighted and self-seeking, that the goals of organ ized labor are incompatible with. the goal of a democratic nation.
 ''I deny it both from the record and from my own knowledge" he said, ''but in the last analysis, it is you, the spokesmen and leaders of organized labor, who can best re- flute that charge"

NeWDefinitionOf. Free Speech Is
 Given By NLRB.
Employer Can't Force His Workers To Listen To
 Anti-Union Speech

WASHINGTON - (LPA) - An employer who forces his workers to listen to an anti-uniOn speech on the eve of an NLRB election is guilty of an unfair labor practice, the NLRB has ruled in a precedent setting decision. Involved were Clark Bros. Co. Inc. of Clean, NY.
 Employers, the NLRB held, have every right to express their views on an NLRB election, but the circum- stances under which Clark Bros. off cials expressed their opinions make it clear that the company's campaign was designed to go beyond mere per suasion and to achieve restraining and coercive effect upon its employees free expression of their organizational will"

 According to the Boards findings, "The employees were compelled by the company to assemble at the plant during working time The speeches were made on the premises during
The union times., 1946-09-07

working hours and were broadcast throughout the entire plant The DOW CT and engines were shut down. All plant operations were suspended and employees were directed by the man. agement, through some foremen and by the public address system, to as Semble to listen to the speeches. (In the past, the employees had been ad- dressed in the plant on such matters as the Community Chest, the Red Cross and bond drives; however, the addresses on such occasions had all ways been made during the regular lunch hour when employees were free to leave the plant)
 Thus, the employees were required to listen to these speeches because the management controlled the manner in which the employees were to occupy their time. The only way the efn- p1oyees could have avoided hearing the speeches would have been for them to leave the premises, which they were not at liberty to do during working hours.
 Under such circumstances, the NLRB stated, Eve must perform our function of protecting em- ployees against that use of the em- ployer's economic power which is inherent in his ability to control their actions during working hours The company exercised its superior economic power in CO., ercing its employees to listen to speeches relating to their organiza. tiOnal activities.'

Says Price Spirals Lead To Strikes

Washington (LPA)-The chief of the US. Consolidation Service last week warned that labor management relations may be in serious difficult ties" if prices continue their upward spiral. At the same time, he reported successful settlement of 20 strikes which in many cases have caused pro- duction bottlenecks, even though they only involved 7400 workers.
 Less working time was lost by strikes and lockouts in July than ill any other month since the war ended, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveal ed last week. The only large strike be- ginning in July was that of 5000 workers at the US. Rubber Co. in Detroit.

 In a brief reference to the 1947 session of the General Assembly, Rourke said that efforts should be made to liberalize the Workmen's Compensation Law. One of the changes he proposed was that com pensation be paid for life instead of for ten years to workers perma- nently disabled.
 Both Collins and Rourke urged that greater efforts be made to improve wages and working conditions flor governmental employees by organizing them into labor unions and, if neces- sary, by increasing tax rates to finance higher wages.
 Collins and Rourke joined also in criticizing jurisdictional labor dis putes.
 Said Rourke:
 ''The public is just about fed up with being incOnvenienced by jur- isdictional disputes. They are a curse upon all trade unionists, and in this day and age should be abOl- ished."

CANNY SCOTS!

"Handfasting," formerly practiced in Scotland, was temporary mar rlage solemnized by a verbal pledge of the couple while holding hands, ac- cording to the Encyclopaedia Britan- mica. The pair were then permitted to live together for a year and a day, after which they could either marry permanently or become single again. The child, if any, was supported by the party who objected to making the marriage permanent.
