NLRB Moves 10 Add
Showdown Chareeto
Case Against ITU
BY the Associated Press

A statement that printers en-
ployed by newspapers have con-
Quoted "slowdowns" bobbed up again
yesterday in the unfair labor prac-
tice case brought by the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
against the AFL International Typo-
graphical Union.
The hearings before Arthur Left
a trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board, will be re-
sumed here tomorrow.
At that time the Office of NLRB
General Counsel Robert N. Denham,
which is prosecuting the case, will
seek Mr.. Leff's permission to add
the showdown charge to its official
complaint against the union. Mr..
Left removed a similar charge from
the complaint December 9 on techni-
cal grounds, and now the language
has been revised and expanded.
Copies Already Issued.
Lawyers for the publishers and
the union said yesterday that the
Denham Office has already given
them copies of the proposed amend
ment.
The amendment does not name
the newspapers at which the print
ers are alleged to have slowed down
their work
Mr.. Denham's Office and the pub
fishers expect to offer evidence on
this and other matters early in 1913.
Meantime. Woodruff Randolph,
president of the union, was asked
in radio interview over CHS yes
terday whether the union is deter
mined to carry its disputes with
newspaper publishers to the Su-
preme Court if necessary.
Mr.. Randolph replied:
Wen carry it through our own
economic strength, and before the
NLRB, and in all the courts of the
land, and at the same time will do
our best to maintain union
Four Charges Made.
The Denham complaint, issued
November 81, charges the union
with four unfair labor practices
under the Taft Hartley Act. One of
them is coercing employees in the
exercise of their rights.
The complaint as originally drawn
said briefly that one of the ways in
which the union had allegedly CO.
creed employees was that it had
caused its local unions to engage
in slowdowns. Mr.. Left dismissed
this part of the compaint saying it
was difficult to see how this could
be violation of the coercion of
employees" provision of the law
The amendment now proposed by
the Denham Office makes these new
points:
l. That sloWdoWns were "in sup
port of" or "a part Of the three
other unfair practices which are
charged in the complaint These are:
Trying to cause employers to dis
criminate against non-union en-
ployes Through the closed shop;
eXacting payment for services not
performed, and coercing employers
in the selection of foremen.
2sThat the slowdoWns were not
only "a, part of" unfair practices but
also resulted in two unfair prac-
tices-(D the coercion of employees
and 90 the payment of wages for
services not performed.
3. That the sloWdowns were Ill
legal" involving illegal occupancy
of the premises"

LOTS OF PAY BILLS-Shortlv
before Congress adjourned Friday
night, two more Government pay
raise bills were introduced in the
House. This makes a total of q
Federal pay raise bills that have
been introduced in the House, IL
during the past week.
Like the other bills sponsored
during the closing week, the two
latest ones-introduced by Repre-
sentatives Fogarty, Republican, of
Rhode Island, and Welch, Democrat,
of California-call for $500 raises.
An interesting sidelight is that
IL of the Is members of the House
Civil Service Committee are rep
resented by pay raise measures
The one pay raise bill in the Sen
ate has been jointly introduced by
Chairman LANCER of the Senate
Civil Service Committee and Sem
ator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico.
Meanwhile, Federal employees
groups are pressing for January
hearings on the pay raise legisla-
ton by the House and Senate Civil
Service Committees.
Il !: X
CAPITAL BRIEFS-The Senate
Civil Service Committee is investi-
eating reports that a bitter row
between two Civil Service Commits
sion officials over policy matters led
to the resignation of one of them.
The commission denies the reports.
Some members of the House
Ways and Means Committee have
promised that they will try to get
their colleagues to act on Govern
ment employees unemployment COM
pensation legislation which has been
shelved by the commit
tee. Their success, however, de-
pends on how quickly the commit
tee can dispose of tax legislation
and on the attitude of Chairman
Knutson. The attitude of the
administration on the Federal pay
raise question will probably be re-
vealed in President Truman's budget
to Congress when it con-
venes next month. If Mr.. Truman
mentions the subject at all, then
the administration can be expected
to support some sort of a pay raise
If the subject is ignored
in the budget message, then it will
be pretty certain that the White
House frowns on pay raise, legisla-
ton at this time.

landing ship with so men aboard
was reported in danger of breaking
apart 500 miles west of Johnston

The 18th Naval District dispatched
tug to aid the Navy LIST 1885,

the plates.
The Coast Guard diverted the
tug Tekesta to the position, 24O
miles southwest of Adak, Aleutians
and instructed the captain to try to
remove at least two feet of the
grain. If this can be done, Coast
Guardsmen expressed belief the
ship could continue its voyage
from the Canal Zone to Yokohama.
The Simon Benson, with steel
reinforcing strips holding together a
crack in the hull and deck forward
OF the bridge, radioed that seas
were subsiding and the wind was
down to 20 knots. The ship was
proceeding under its own power
toward Honolulu, about 1000 miles
to the southeast, with the Coast
Guard cutter Iroquois for escort.
The Army tanker Ell Caney, rud-
der gone and propeller damaged
five days ago, was being towed
towards Midway by the Navy sal
wage ship Bolster from a position
$50 miles southwest of Adak.
Fishing Crew Rescued.
There was no new word from the
Mlddlesex Victory, which was en-
route to Japan and was last re-
ported nearing the Kuriles with 16
cracked deck plates.
The Coast Guard reported that
the cutter Hemlock rescued the six
man crew of the fishing vessel
Attu, which went aground Friday
on Mary Island, southeast of
Ketchikan, Alaska.
twenty-five miles off Ketchikan,
Alaska, small fishing craft with
six aboard was reported laundering
in mountainous seas. An Alaskan
Coast Guard cutter was racing to
the scene.
The small Army freighter FS-245.
which ran aground on Herbert Is
land, 215 miles southwest of Unimak.
was being towed to Adak by the tug
LT-132.
Two tugs were en- route to aid
the Army barge BSP-866, which
reported shifting cargo, smashed
portfolios and flooded galley about
$50 miles west of Adak.
While the weather generally was
easing, the fleet weather central
at Pearl Harbor warned that fierce
winter storms, only a few days apart.
could be expected to lash the North
Pacific until March.

FOur-H Trio Leave ElmendOrf

The parka-ed and mukluk-ed figures of Lynn Sandvik Of Palmer, Flo Alice Dinkel of Wasilla and Richard Dangler of Seward climbed aboard an Alaska Airlines plane at An chorage at 6:45 last Friday eve ming. When the pilot lifted his ship from the runway at Elmen- dorf field it meant the beginning of a 10-day vacation Outside, for the three where they will repre- sent Alaska at a national All conference in Chicago.
 H. A. Floyd, local represents tive of the Allis Chalmers Co.,, which is sponsoring Lynn's trip, and Parker Lester, Extension agent for the Valley, were at the plane to see the big three of Alas. kan FourH work on their way.
 For Lynn it was beginning to have all the earmarks of a com mon occurrence, for he has only recently returned from another flight Outside. Lynn won a trip to Portland, Ore, for his top gar den exhibit at the Matanuska Valley fair this year.
 The three were to stop at Seattle's Olympic hotel until Tuesday of this week, when they will join Washington and Ore gon delegates on the special Four-H train that will take them to Chicago.

 A Good Thing Ls Worth Repeating

Fun for Valley folks and funds for a travelling basketball team again are the basis of plans being formulated for a dancing eve ming at Butte hall.
 This time it's the Shamrocks, town mems team, who invite Valley residents to a pre-holiday dance at the Butte this Wednes- day evening. Dancing begins at 9 o'clock and will last as long as the dancers do.
 The barn dance theme of the recent Butte dance will be re- peated on Wednesday. It's to be come-as-you-are dance," Art Stacey, Shamrock manager, ex- plained. We've got the same or chestra, and are planning the same type of dance as the girls had. We think everyone will have just as much fun this time, too."

tra, which pleased Butte dancers greatly three weeks ago, will be even better this time, according to MT. Stacey. The musicians have added another instrument since their first appearance.

Wilbur Keith Caught Near Alpine Inn

Wilbur E, Keith, 19-year-old convicted murderer, had four and half hours of freedom Fri day, keeping the entire Valley alarmed until he was captured.
 Keith, found guilty of the knife staying of Melvin Beck with at Trent's Resort last Feb. 6, escaped at HOP a. m. from outside the federal jail in An chorage. He just dropped his coal bucket and ran, and his un- armed guard gaped at him for a few seconds and then rushed in to phone for help.
 Keith found a car with a key in it, and headed for Palmer. He ran both the MP gates at the Post and the soldiers watched him breezing by.
 Reports circulated that he was out ts get Mrs. Walter E. Hunt ley who testified against him in the two trials. If that's what he had on his mind he had strange way of showing it because he just Whizzed through Palmer. No road block was set up because apparently the call didn't get through in time to warn Deputy Marshal Bill BouWens.
 Highway Patrolman Wesley I. Gilman and Andy Anderson, former Anchorage police officer, nabbed the youth seven and half miles east of the Alpine Inn. His car stalled about AZ miles further back.
 Hi, Andy," Keith exclaimed as he recognized Anderson. He submitted without protest and the handcuffs were slipped on him.
 He had a jackknife in his pocket and plenty of cigarets, but no money.

Firefighting Jobs To Be Assigned

Who's going to drive the shiny new firetruck that will be deliv- cred in Palmer this week? Who'll be the man who handles the hose nozzle at Valley fires? And who'll be detailed to man all of the other fire-fighting gad- gets with which that new truck IS equipped?
