ITU Practices Costly
To Small Newspapers,
Publisher Testifies
BY the Asseeicfsd Press

Walter E. Hussman, Texas pub
Usher, said today that rules and
practices of the AFL International
Typographical Union are costly and
harmful to small newspapers and
that bargaining" isn't the sole an
swer to the problem.
Mr.. Hussman, president of the
Texas Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation and assistant publisher Of
the Texarkana Gazette and News,
appeared before the Senate Small
Business subcommittee which Is
studying problems Of smaller publ
cations.
Mr.. Hussman said that, while pub
hcations dealing with the union
must agree to the closed shop, the
ITU frequently fails to furnish suf-
ficient men for the composing
= rooms. This inability, he said, "is
due almost solely to its past and
continuing practice of restricting
apprentices to far less than even re-
placement requirements"
Printer Shortage Called Acute.
As a result of the "acute" printer
shortage, he said, publishers must
pay their help time and a half to
whatever extent necessary to pro-
\ duoe their papers.
Mr.. Hussman said new type set
ting devices have been manufac-
tured which would help newspapers
solve manpower problems and pro-
duce better papers, but that
through passive and outright re-
sistance at the local level, the in
PRODUCTION OF these machines has
been confined largely to open shop
composing rooms"
Three witnesses testified yester-
day that some of the unions gen.
eral laws and policies threaten the
life of small newspapers.
The witnesses were Thurman
Arnold, former head of the Justice
Departments Antitrust Division:
Tom Tanner, Chattanooga, Tenn,
labor commissioner of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association,
and Theodore A. Sheriff., associate
manager in charge of the industrial
relations division of the Pennsyl-
vania Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation.
Committee officials invited Wood
ruff Randolph, union president, to
express his views later.
Can't Make Adjustments.
Mr.. Serrill told the committee the
"confining character of union regu-
lations, these ITU laws, afford very
little opportunity for the newspaper
publisher to make adjustments if a
recession in our economy occurs"
Mr.. Tanner told the committee:
THE recent difficulties encoun-
tered by newspapers in their deal
ings with the ITU and its tightly
controlled local unions-due to
strikes, strike threats, abolishment
of contract arbitration and dele
ton of 'no-strike' clauses from con-
tracts-constitute serious threat
to the economic life of many news
papers. . ="
Mr.. Arnold proposed that "the
following practices should be speci-
fed as unlawful:
Il. Economic restraints or eco
nomio coercion of any kind by a
labor organization designed to pre-
vent the use of cheaper material,
improved equipment or more eff
cient methods. s',1a {. Ssa.,> !
90. Restraints of trade or organ
lied coercion Of any character by
any labor union to compel the hir-
ing Of useless and unnecessary
labor. s''
SO. Restraints of trade or organ
lied. coercion of any kind by labor
unions to compel or induce or aid
In fixing prices for any commodity
or service except Wages.n

workers must join the union shortly
after they are hired.
Authorize court injunctions to
stop or block national paralysis"
strikes, such as a coal or telephone
strike. The. injunctions would stay
in effect during compulsory media
ton.
Set up a new Federal mediation
agency, independent of the Labor
Department.
Make unions liable for unfair
labor practices. Employers already
are.
There the parallel on major pro-
visions stops short. The House bill,
but not the Senate's, would:
!. Outlaw jurisdictional strikes
and secondary boycotts. Jurisdic-
tional strikes usually stem from dis
putes between unions as to which

ernments, which may have tax juris-
dictton over my properties. I de-
| sire and hereby direct that my
executor shall as far as possible ar
range that my specific bequests
made herein to my wife, Clara
J. Ford. and my specific be-
quests Of my voting shares In the
Ford Motor Co. known as Class
b stock, shall be given to the
legatees intact and without diminu-
ton.
'If for the purpose of paying OBJ
legations of my estate it shall be
necessary to sell any part Of it,
| it Is my desire and will that my
executor shall have free discretion
to sell, or borrow on the security
OF, or dispose OF as in his judgment
he may deem proper, all other prop
erty for the purpose Of meeting such
obligations"
Left Undisclosed Cash.
Mr.. Longley said the provision for
| the sale Of real estate would apply
to such real estate as was solely in
Mr.. Ford's name. There is prop
erty at Richmond, Ca, which the
attorneys said probably would go to
the foundation.
Aside from the stock in the Ford
Motor Co., Mr.. Ford left an undis-
closed amount Of cash.
This, Mr.. Longley said, he pre-
sumed will be used to pay taxes
These taxes In Federal and State
levies, he added, could eat up as
much as n per cent of the total tax
able estate left by Mr.. Ford. He as
serted, however, that he foresaw no
necessity of disposing of any real
estate or stock to meet taxes as
provided in the will.
To a direct question, Mr.. Iongley
said he had no idea Of the extent
Of Mrs. Henry Ford's wealth.
