COLUMBIA TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
DEMANDS EmPl OVERS ABR0GATE
CONTRACT With OTHER
PRINTING TRADE UNIONS

THIN INV InHDE UNIVVO
After ten weeks of bargaining, and when it
appeared that a new contract was in sight,
negotiations between the Scale Committees
Of the Columbia Typographical Union No. TOT
and the Graphic Arts Association of Wash
ington, p. c., Inc., Closed Shop Division, were
broken off on the morning of Friday, Septem-
Der 20, 1916, when the representatives Of the
Union stated thot the jurisdictionoI clause
contained in their proposal must go into the
new contract. This clause reads as follows:
IT, The Union reserves to it's men,
bers jurisdiction over all composing
room work OR ANY MACHINERY
OR PROCESS APPERTAINING TO
PRINTING AND THE PREPARA-
TI0kS THEREFOR, WHEREVER
PERFORMED"
The acceptance of this clause by the Associ-
alton would extend the Jurisdiction of the
Typographical Union to all departments and
operations in printing plant. Alternate pro-
poso|s we're suggested by the Union Commit
tee, but it was admitted by it's members
that acceptance Of any Of these would produce
exactly the same result as the Unions original
proposal.
1t is the Associations position that, since it
has valid and bindino contracts with other
American Federation of Labor unions repre-
sentine employees in the bindery, pressroom,
stereotype, eIectrotype, photo-engrovin9 and
other crafts, it would be violation of the
National Labor Relations Act, as we'll as
breach Of these other contracts, for it to sign
contract with the Typographical Union con-
tanning the junsdictionoI paragraph submitted
above.

In Nebraska Fight

Washington, D. CAN urgent ap-

the Nebraska State Federation of La
Dor was issued by AFL President Will
liam Green to all officers Of AFL ma

block a movement there for an anti
union shop amendment.
Enemies of organized labor, Mr..
Green pointed out, have obtained
about 101 900 signatures to a petit
tion for the anti-union shop amend
ment- 900 more than are required
Only by vigorous campaign, we'll
supported, can this move be defeated,
he said. The issue will be submitted
to Nebraska voters in the November
II lection. Mr.. Green made clear that
the AFL is contributing as much as
it can, but that more funds will be
required to defeat the anti-labor
amendment.

Cleanliness of milk supply is an i'm
portant factor in public health.
1t used to be thought, for example,
that undulant fever was a tropical
affliction. 1t comes, so the scientists
say, from beef and dairy products. In
cattle it is known as Bangs disease.
Herds must be free from Bangs di-
sease- and dairy products must be
pasteurized, for the sake of public
health.
Fifty years ago nobody thought Of
that. But today the health officer who
didn't ought to be fired and generally
would be.
Labor can afford to be deeply con-
cerned with public health. As mat
ter of fact it cannot afford NOT to be
concerned.
Whatever else you may think of
John L. Lewis, he did great service
when he put public health prominent
ly into the picture of employment re-

There are two vitally important SUBJ
divisions of the general health picture.
One is what we know as industrial
hygiene; the other is mental hygiene.
We are generally deficient in our
concern in both these fields and in

There are in this country more per-
