Baltimore ITU Head
10 Testify Today on
'No-Contract' Policy
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-Charles
". Brannock, president of Baltimore
typographical Union No. IL, today
takes the stand for the third straight
Gay of a National Labor Relations
Board hearing to explain the Inter-
national Typographical Unions no
contract" policy.
Both parent and local union are
charged in an NLRB complaint with
unfair labor practices" in the first
case brought under the Taft Hartley
law under which union is accused
OF failing to bargain collectively.
Mr.. Brannock, on the stand
throughout the first two days. was
called by NLRB Attorney Sidney j.
Barban as a hostile" witness and
also was questioned by Attorney
Earle K. Shave of the Graphic Arts
League. bargaining agent for %
Baltimore print shops.
ITU Policy Cited.
The international has advised all
locals to 60 along without written
contract" Mr.. Brannock said, but
to work under union drawn CON
ditions of employment" posted on
bulletin boards. The. conditions
state they are "in no wise a con-
tract"
I'VE prefer to operate under these
pnn1itinnc hn
the Taft-Hartley law we were not in
a position to discipline our members
any more
| Under the law we cannot expel a
man as long as he pays his dues;
We might have non-union man
come into plant and cause dis
satisfaction and the men wouldn't
work with him, and you could sue
the union If there was contract"
Employers said this no contract"
policy was an attempt to get around
the Taft Hartley laws ban on closed
shops, and on September IL the
Graphic Arts League filed charges
with the NLRB. The Government
complaint was issued September %.
Proposal Offered.
Mr.. Brannock testified the local
then offered contract proposal
September 26 which contained a
clause stating the print shops can
not compel members to work with
non-union printers" and which
could be voided on go days notice.
Mr.. Shave said it was "a one
minute contract" since the new law
already provided minimum 60-day
no-strike waiting period. The en-
ployers did not accept this offer.
Il didn't expect them to sign it,"
Brannock testified. :.
The employers sought one-year
contract with a ''no-strike" guaran-
tee in further negotiations and Mr..
Shave said the union refused" to
agree to ''no-strike" clause.
Agree on Pay Scale.
Mr.. Shave said both sides ARE
in complete accord on all economic
questions, including a basic hourly
wage scale of $1.90, but Mr.. Bran
mock told Union Attorney Jacob J.
Edelman on cross-examination that
I'VE did not reach full and complete
economic agreement"
About 300 union printers have
been working under an interim"
raise of Is cents to SITS an hour
since the contract expired Septem-
ber 30. Mr. Brannock said ITU con-
tracts with baltimore newSpa Ders
