proved by the international presi-
dent. He declared also that the in
ternational had no power to direct
or force a local to go on strike.
Operation without a contract is
not new, Randolph pointed out.
Even prior to the Taft Hartley Act,
60 to 20 locals operated without
written agreements, he said
Randolph asserted, too, that the
uniform standards laid down by the
union are of great benefit to man
agement and workers alike. "Our
uniformity" he said, ais one of the
greatest assets we have and un-
doubtedly Of great value to en-
ployers. Our members can work
from Canada to the Gulf and al
ways perform the duties expected
of them"
Meanwhile, the typos" ap-
preached a showdown battle in
Gotham. There, as in Chicago, the
newspaper publishers filed unfair
labor practice charges with the
Natl Labor Relations Board against
the union.
Also, the New York Employing
Printers Assn waved the "red
flag" by unilaterally ordering a
40-hour week at straight time pay
for 4,000 union printers who had
hitherto been on a 30M hour week,
Gotham's "Big Six" local of the
ITU charged this constituted a
lockout" designed to provoke
strike" in an endeavor to force the
union to accept the publishers terms
on new agreement. In an anX-
ious effort to head off threatened
strike, Mayor O'Dwyer conferred
with both sides, seeking a com
promise settlement.
In the case Of the newspapers,
things won't come to head until
March 81 when present contracts
expire, but the action Of the pub
fishers in pushing unfair labor
practice charges was assailed as
an attempt to "intimidate" the
union in advance Of final negotia-
tionS.
In Chicago, Local 16 revealed
that it is making real progress in
its strike battle with the Windy
City publishers. 1t cited the fact
that each of the papers has lost
many thousands of subscribers
since the strike began.
Also, the local hailed the action
of ITU members around the coun-
try in voting a 5 percent assessment
on their pay for a strike defense
fund.
"The men and women who toll in
the composing and mailing rooms
of the United States and Canada" "
the local said, "have given a ring
ing answer to the anti-union forces
among the publishers Of newspap-
ers and owners of commercial
printing plants"
"That is an eloquent tribute to
their loyalty and to the union which
commands that loyalty Such
people and such a union will never
be beaten by the publisherjob shop
NLRB axis"

NYC Employers In vite
Strike e By Provocdtion;
Typos Heard In Court

Indianapolis (LPA) = Develop
ments came thick and fast during
the past week in the battle of the
Int'l Typographical Union-AFL to
protect its long-established stand
ards from the ravages of the Taft
Hartley Act. Highlights were these:
/. ITU President Woodruff Ran
dolph took the stand in the Federal
injunction proceedings against his
union, under way in Federal court
here. He gave a stirring defense of
the TITUS policy in fighting to
avoid the pitfalls of the TIL Act.
2. Both the big daily newspapers
and the huge commercial printing
establishments of Americas largest
metropolis, New York City, virtual
lv declared "war" on the typos"
8. Despite all obstacles, the lTU
has rolled up many new gains in
its battle to win wage increases
without being tied up in the snarls
of a Taft Hartley type of contract.
Latest "box score" of the unlor
shows that BAT agreements have
been negotiated with newspapers
and 304 in the commercial print
ing industry, without any Taft
Hartley strings attached.
At the federal court hearing on
the injunction sought by Robert
N. Denham, general counsel of the
Natl Labor Relations Board, Ran-
dolph vigorously denied that the
self-defense policy now being pur-
sued by the union violates the Taft
Hartley Act.
For example, the union is not
demanding CLOSED shop" contracts
of the type outlawed by the anti
labor law, Randolph pointed out.
The union, he said, is willing to go
upon its own strength to maintain
without any contracts and rely
long established union shop condi-
tions.
"We have not asked for any
contract continuing the closed
shop" Randolph said Owe don't
intend to ask any closed contract
in any of our locals, in spite of
all the misrepresentation to the
contrary from the publishers as
sociation, the printing industry and
the public pres - and from the
government attorneys"
All that the ITU wanted to do
is maintain "closed shop condi-
tion'-one under which everyone
in the shop would be a union man
and he insisted that the method
by which the union is seeking to ac-
complish this was not illegal.
He declared also that the union
is "sincerely" seeking methods of
fe-guarding traditional and vital
working eonditions-many Of them
a century old-without transgress-
ing on the law.
Randolph gave a detailed ac-
count Of how the ITU policy was
arrived at and how it is being ap-
piled. He contended that manage
ment and labor could peacefully
get along under this policy, but
that many "hostile" publishers and
JOB shop owners are deliberately
trying to use the Taft Hartley Act
to stir up strife and undermine the
union.
He also riddled publishers claims
that ITU top officers exercise a
dictatorship" over locals. In no
case, he said, has "A local been pun

Pledges Backing
To Union In Test
OF New Labor Act

Washington, d. c.. OLNS) -
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
pledged the federation's fullest
support to the local union indicted
in Connecticut for alleged viola
tion of the Taft Hartley labor act.
The indictment, he declared would
intensity workers resentment
against Congressional hackers Of
the new law.
The indictment, returned by
federal grand jury at New Haven,
charged that Local 481 of Hart
ford, Brotherhood of Painters, Dec
orators and Paperhangers of Am
erica, and the locals president, John
r. O'Brien had violated the politi-
cal spending ban in the Taft Hart
ley Act.
eve will challenge the indict-
ment and the constitutionality of
the aft-Hartley Act upon which
the indictment is based," President
Green said here. "Our 8 million
members will rally to the support
of their fellow workers who are the
victims of this criminal Indictment.
Our entire legal department will
be assigned to render all possible
legal service"
Sees Law Aiding Communism
Green said further that the indict-
ment "will serve to intensity the
feeling of resentment which pre-
walls among the workers of the
nation against those who voted for
the aft-Hartley law. They will re-
gard it as an attack against ele-
mentary freedom and justice and
also against free press and free
speech. They will interpret it as
a legal blow directed against all
labor.
"There is now presented to the
public an exhibition of the purpose
and meaning Of the notorious Taft
Hartley law. This is the law which
Senator Taft and Congressman
Hartley, authors Of the bill, said
would serve to promote good will,
cooperation and friendly relations
between employers and employees
This is to be accomplished through
criminal indictments and criminal
prosecution of labor. Is there any
one SO moronic as to belive that |
Instead it will serve to promote
the cause of Communism among
the masses of the people"
The indictment specifically ac-
cused the Hartford union of lille
gally using union funds in January
to pay for political advertise
ment in the Hartford Times and to
buy radio time for a political
broadcast over Station WKNB of |
New Britain.
Test Was Sought
Both the advertisement and the
broadcast asked defeat Of Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft and the Con-
necticut members of Congress who
voted for the bill. Union officials
said then that test of the law
was desired.
Following his indictment, Presi-
dent O'Brien Of the local union said
that he and his union were "de4
lighted" that they had been given
"the opportunity" to bring about
the test.
Albert Vol, general counsel of
the AFL, said that the union local
and its president took "a calculated
risk to test whether freedom of
speech, of press, or assembly and
Of petition are still vibrant, living I
guarantees today, or have become ]
merely mocking phrases to remind !
rs of a priceless heritage once held
out lost"
