market Massacre, printers stood side by
side with the most militant workers of
their day.
Many of them during the turbulent
1905 marched in parades sponsored by
the Socialist Labor Party, Marxist or
ganization which is considered the an
ceStor of the present Communist Party.
WHEN union paper cutters on the
city's daily newspapers walked out in 1912,
in a short but bitter strike which was
successful, the printers recognized the
publishers refusal to bargain as threat
to their security too.
News vendors who refused to handle
scab work were beaten by police. The
printers faced violence from finks. But
they stood by, and won.
Another union to which they gave
whole-hearted support, financially and
otherwise, was the American Newspaper
Guild, which went on strike at Hearst's
American and Herald Examiner in 1888.
That turned out to be one of the long
est and most bitter strikes in Chicago's
history, but the printers did not fail their
fellow workers.
Now, nearly a decade later, the
printers are leading the fight against the
publishers Taft-Hartley drive.
They've won before. They know they'll
win again.

First step in the UE'S counter
offensive against the glass coffee
brewer company was to charge
the corporations officers with
placing misleading help wanted
advertising in the Chicago Trib-
une and other papers in violation
OF state law.
Cory president James w. Ais
dorf was arrested last Monday on
the UE complaint, which charged
Cory with attempting to recruit
workers through ads which con-
cealed the fact that a strike is in
progress at the plant.
=
SIMULTANEOUSLY. the UE set
up a picket line in front of the
home of H. N. Pritzker, one of
the company attorneys, at $3.50 N.
Lake Shore Drive. This action i'm
mediately brought an injunction
handed down against the pickets
by lame duck Superior Court
Judge Robert E. Grove.
This was the third injunction
Grove has issued against union
in the two weeks of the strike.
He had previously enjoined UE
Local 1850 from mass picketing,
limiting the number of pickets to
10. He later issued supplement
tai injunction further curtailing
the number of pickets to four.
Preparations were made for a
giant anti-Taft-Hartley demonstra-
ton and parade in front of the
Cory plant this Friday, Nov. 81,
UE officers said. A number of
other CIO local unions indicated
they would join the striking Cory
workers in the protest action.

~ HICAGO newspaper publishers
" are facing spectre nearly a cen
tury DID,
It's a wrath of a weapon used long
ago by printers to raise wages and i'm
prove working conditions in the composing
rooms of the city's daily papers.
Even the Taft-Hartley law doesn't
help the publishers, for this old ghost
fought in its hey-day against anti-labor
practices just as vicious as those author
lied by the Both Congress.
The spectre, these days, is called "con-
ditions of employment"
cURIoUSLY. Chicago Typographical
Union No. Is revived the conditions of
employment" here during the same year
in which the Tribune, with much fanfare,
celebrated its Tooth birthday.
The link between the resurrection of
the old code and the Trib's centennial was
symbolic of the struggle that has taken
place between the workers and the owners
OF the press over many years.
It's the story of militant union which
has always fought for-and in the long
run always won-a better life for Chi
Cages printers.
THE printers union is the oldest in
Illinois, but it's just youngster as typo
graphical unions go.
Printers in Washington, D. c., were
already organized into union in 1915, for
example, but Chicago's printers didn't
have a union until about 1850. Two years
later, the National Typographical Union
came into being, and within a decade it
had become an international with locals
in both the United States and Canada.
CHICAGO now ranks second among
all y. S. cities as center of the printing
industry, but the first print shop didn't
begin operations here until 1898.
In that year John Calhoun arrived
here from Watertown, N. Y. On Nov. 26

By conditions of employment"
Notices of wage scales and hours
under which the printers would work
were posted on the walls of the news
paper composing rooms. If the news
paper didn't like them and refused 10
comply. the printers walked out.
And no publisher could afford walk
out. According to the census of 1860, there
were 375 printers in Chicago. All of them
belonged to the union.
LABOR UNITY. still a goal of the
International Typographical Union, was
always held of great importance by the
printers.
Andrew Carr Cameron, printer who
edited the Workingman's Advocate here,
was one of the early leaders in the fight
for united front against reaction.
Prominent in the National Labor
Union, an early precursor to the ALL and
CLIO, he demonstrated the printers desire
for worldwide solidarity of workers at
the 1869 convention of the International
Workingmen's Association, at Basic, Swift
zerland.
nv the fight for the nine-hour day,
and later for the eight-hour day, the
printers also played leading role.
Despite sweeping anti-labor injune-
tons, scabs, blacklists, and police brutality,
they struck the newspapers and won their
demands.
AS part of the larger movement for
these advances, they joined in alliances
with the Knights Of Labor and other early
labor organizations.
And when it came to demonstrations
such as that which resulted in the Hay

of the same year he published the first
issue of Chicago's first newspaper, the
Democrat.
A year and half later, on June 8,
1885, the second newspaper, the American,
first made its appearance.
WHAT has the union done to improve
the lot of printers on newspapers here?
The hours worked per week have
dropped from IL to 561s.
The Democrat paid its printers
about IS per week" They worked
more than IL hours day for six day.
for that pay.
Now the men who put out Chicago's
daily newspapers get $85 to $91 for 1914
hour week, and they're currently asking
increases to minimum of $102 and top
of slit!
But the change was not sudden. It
took place gradually, over the years. A
strike at the Democrat brought wages up
to $40 about 1850, but by 1895 the weekly
pay was still only $18.
FIGHTING spirit-as evidenced now
by the printers determination to fight the
Taft-Hartley law-lay behind their vic
tories.
At every step of the wAy, the news
paper publishers stood in their path, try
ing vainly to block their progress.
Before the union was even established
the first strike took place-and the print
ers won.
The publishers set up the Chicago
Daily Newspaper Association, which has
since been succeeded by the Chicago
