Hears Plea for Peace
By Cardinal SpeI|man
By the Associoted Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 23.-
Francis Cardinal Spellman, Arch
bishop of New York. today launched
the Buffalo Centennial Eucharistic
Congress with plea for peace. de-
claring that mankind faced either
"self-strangulation or survival"
The sands of time are running
out as mankind faces its moment OF
decision" The cardinal said in a
sermon during the congress opening
pontif1cial mass at Civic Stadium.
1T is folly he continued, for us
to deceive ourselves that we are at
peace, for in truth we know that
naught for which we fought has
come to fruit. The whole world and
every human in it, today face the
greatest crisis in the history OF
civilization.
The atomic age seems to have
brought but grim interlude in our
decade of despair, when science Is
appraised not for the uses Of peace
but for its protection against new
wars"
The mass was celebrated by the
apostolic delegate to the United
States, the Most Rev. Amleto Cicog-
mani, titular Archbishop of Laodicea
A papal message from Pope Plus
XII urging the Buffalo diocese's
635 900 Catholics to uphold the
sanctity of family life was read by
the Right Rev. Leo r. Smith, chan
ceuor of the diocese.

.HU Will Fail in Effort
To Escape Labor Law,
Printing Group Told
BY the Assoeio,ed p,s..

FRENCH LICK, Ind, Sept. IA
prediction that the International
typographical Union would be "un.
successful in its device to escape
responsibility" under the Taft-Hart-
ley law was made last night by
Thomas. .shroyer, general counsel Of
the joint congressional committee 10
study operation of the new labor
law.
Mr.. Shroyer made the statement
without elaboration in addressing
the annual dinner meeting of the
industrial relations section of the
Printing Industry Of America, trade
association holding its annual con.
vention here.
The union has announced it will
not enter into formal contracts with
employers under Hartley law
restrictions. A special committee
of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association is to discuss a
working agreement with ITU ofi-
cials in Indianapolis Thursday and
Friday.
Mr.. Shroyer said it was too early
to report what his study commit
tee has learned except that the
new law is working. While labor
leaders are condemning the Taft
Hartley law to the skies in the press
and on the radio they are bargain
ing around the conference table
with much more reasonable
approach.
There has been considerable talk
Of by-passing the law of contracts
wherein the employer renounces the
right to sue the union for strikes
and breach of contract. In those
cases, however. the employer has
received something in return"
Mr.. Shroyer pointed to the Inter-
national Harvester contract.
1T provides he said, that In
case of a wildcat strike. the union
will Immediately post on the bulle-
tin boards a notice to its members
to ignore the picket lines, to not sup
port the strike. and a request that
the strikers return to work. Any one
familiar with labor relations must
know that such q provision is worth
many times more than a right to
sue for damages"
James F. Newcomb. retiring as
sociation president, told the conven-
ton that the ITU decision against
further contracts might force the
commercial printing industry to
bear the brunt OF the union-in-
dustry fight over the labor manage
ment relations act"
Mr.. Newcomb urged the printers
Ito see that the provocations of the
moment do not lead to chaos in our
labor relations and to a general COL
lapse In our industry"
