Return 10 Bargaining
Urged on Union by
Printing Industry

Employers in the commercial
printing industry today called on
International Typographical Union
members to return to collective
bargaining and help avert a de-
generation of labor relations that
might result from a long court
fight.
The Union Employers Section of
the Printing Industry Of America,
Inc, representing 80 per cent of
the Nations commercial printing
employees. announced it was send
ing the appeal for better relations
to 10000 print shop employees.
George P, Mallonee, executive
secretary of the Graphic Arts As
Sociation of Washington. said the
pamphlets would be distributed
among employees at so commercial
print shops here as well as allied
crafts, totaling 400 workmen.
Explain NLRB Case.
Explaining why they filed unfair
labor practices against the TTU
with the National Labor Relations
Board, the employers said it was
necessary because the union had
"fatly rejected the Labor Manage
ment Relations Act (Taft-Hartley
Law and substituted a policy of
no collective bargaining"
1T is the policy of the Union
Employers Section to try to settle
this whole issue without provoking
civil war within the industry" the
booklet said.
Pointing to the unions insistence
on the closed shop, ruled out by the
Taft-Hartley law, the employers
said they had offered to discuss this
phase with the union in top-level
talks.
Deny Planning Suits.
The adoption of unilateral poll
cies to control the conduct of the
other fellow might well give way to
a meeting of the minds,'"' the en-
pIoyers added.
Denying they planned to bring
suits against the unions, the en-
ployers noted they recently had en-
International Printing PresSmen for
a uniform arbitration clause in all
local contracts ito relieve respon-
sible unions from possible damage
suits"
The whole problem could be
washed up if the officers of the ITU
would recognize that the union en-
ployers are not out to break the
union, the pamphlet added.
The employers said they feared
the kind of turmoil that existed 40
years ago before orderly labor re-
lations and that unless there is
return to cooperative bargaining
time and energy would be wasted
in guerrilla warfare"
while complex and prolonged
legal proceedings are going on labor
relations in the printing industry
can easily degenerate, the employ
ers added.
1T will take men of exceptional
ability on both sides to prevent

Irish Race Meetinq
Asks Sanctions 10 End
.Country's Partition
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Nov. PA petition
calling for United States economic
sanctions against England to COM
pei her to cease continuing the
wrong which she is inf1icting on
Ireland" is to be presented to Presi-
dent Truman and the special ,ses-
sion of Congress by the Irish Race
Convention.
The petition, claimed by its spon-
sors to be signed by 100000 Amer
leans, was approved yesterday at
the closing session of the conven-
ton, sponsored by the American
League for an Undivided Ireland.
Two thousand Irish Americans
with a sprinkling of delegates from
the old country moved to ask United
States aid in ending partition of
Ireland.
SAYS U. s. Can Exert Pressure.
Patrick Maxwell, member of the
Northern Ireland parliment, told the
convention that only force or the
threat of force could win freedom
for all of Ireland. and he suggested
the United States has sufficient
prestige to exert the economic pres
sure.
Meanwhile, in Belfast, Edmond
Warnock, Northern Ireland'S Min
lister of Home Affairs, yesterday
referred to speech before the
Congress Saturday by Mayor William
O'dwyer of New York, and assailed
what he called false propaganda
of certain advocates of Irish unity"
Mayor ODwyer, calling for COM
plete autonomy for Ireland, had said
the only peace formula that will
work is to take injustice off the
backs of the peoples OF the world"
Calls FOR Autonomy.
The mayor declared we've got to
guarantee to the whole world that
autonomy is the God-given right
of the children Of heaven. The
problem is to aid that little isle in
aiding its people to obtain freedom
in every inch of that isle
Replying to Mayor O'DWyer, who
is a native of Fire, Mr.. Warnock
said II venture to think that Mayor
ODwyer is not aware that the union
of north and south would debase
standards of living of every man
and woman in Northern Island. The
Fire propagandists do not tell this
to American audiences. Mayor
ODwyer may speak for some Fire
Americans, but he has no title to
speak for Irish Americans.
