installation Dispute Delays
Use Of Phone Recorders
BY the As.oeioted Press

Automatic recorders can't be used
legally on interstate telephone lines
until March /, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission has decided.
Their use originally had been
authorized to begin January Is, but
a postponement was ordered as the
result of a dispute over who would
install and maintain the warning
sound device which the FEC says
must be hooked up with the re-
corders.
The device emits a "beep" sound
at regular intervals to serve notice
to phone users that what they say
is being recorded at the other end
of the line.
The Bell Telephone System COM
panies have asked that they be
given full responsibility for supply
ing, installing and maintaining the
warning signal.
Dictaphone Corp. and Sound
scriber Corp, which make recorders,
have objected that this would give
the Bell System a complete mo-
nopoly' in the warning device field.
The commission said the matter
requires further consideration.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Official pub
locations of the international Typo
graphical Union were admitted yes
terday at a National Labor Relations
Board hearing on unfair labor prac-
tices charged against the union and
ITU counsel charged the evidence
was being offered through the back
door"
In response to a subpoena, copies
of the ITU Journal were brought to
the hearing by Reese J. Highf1eld,
So, of Akron. Ohio. Mr.. Highfield
is secretary. and business agent of
local 1872, ITU, and a member of an
Independent union faction opposed
to some policies of Woodruff Ran
dolph, TTU president.
introduced in evidence was a
paragraph from a December, 1914,
issue of the Journal which quoted
Elmer Brown, second vice president
of the ITU, as saying:
"The ITU Executive Council will
declare lockout exists whenever a
nonunion worker is allowed to work
in union composing room. When
nonunion worker enters a union
composing room the union members
will leave"
The article also told of the out
lawing of the closed shop in two
States.
Gerhard Van Arkle, ITU, counsel
objected to introduction of the
journals. He said subpoenas to pro-
duce the journals had been served
earlier on ITU headquarters, but
that the union had asked the NLRB
to revoke its subpoena. The NLRB
referred the question to Trial Ex-
aminer Arthur Left, who asked that
the records be produced. However
the union refused.
A round of boos from an audience
including some striking Chicago
printers greeted Mr.. Highfield when
he took the witness stand. Quiet
was restored when Mr.. Left threat
ened to clear the room.

Farm Union Asks
Court TO Dismiss
Injunction Sought

Washington, d. c. (ILNS) -
Hearings on a petition by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board seek
ing to enjoin a strike of LOO agri-
cultural workers were scheduled to
be held in U. S. District Court in
Fresno, Calf, said state
ment released here by H. l.. Nit
chell, president of the National
Farm Labor Union.
An NLRB petition to enjoin agri-
cultural laborers is unprecedented,
in that the Taft-Hartley Labor
Management Relations Act of 1947
specifically excludes from its COW
erage "any individual employed
as an agricultural laborer." Quote
from Section 2, part 8, Public Law
1917.
The petition for an injunction
charges the National Farm Labor
Union Local 21S of Bakersfield,
Calf, which has been on strike
against the 22,O00-acre Di Giorgio
Fruit Corp. ranch since Oct. l.,
1947, with engaging in a secondary
boycott by causing others to cease
using, selling, handling, transport
ing or otherwise dealing in the pro-
ducts of the producer.
Alexander H. Schullman, noted
labor relations attorney of Los An
geles, is representing the AFL
Farm Labor Union and is filing a
motion to dismiss the governments
application for an injunction, on the
grounds that the NLRB is seeking
to invoke a law that specifically
excludes all agricultural laborers.
He is challenging the constitution
ality of the action since it would
penalize agricultural laborers while
denying them any rights under the
law. The labor attorney will also
challenge the constitutionality of
the secondary boycott provision of
the Taft-Hartley Act.
The strike of the AFL Farm La
Dor Union members against the Di
Giorgio Fruit Corp, which is now
in it's 9nth month, has been carried
on with the full support of the la
Dor movement.
The injunction proceedings by
the NLRB in the Di Giorgio Farm
strike was preceded by the attempt
ed assassination of the strike COM
mittee which was meeting in the
private home Of one of the men,
bers May II. James B. Price, presi-
dent of the local, was shot down
when fusillade of shots was fired
into the peaceful meeting. Price
was seriously injured and has not
fully recovered from the attack.
Gov Earl Warren, COP vice.
presidential candidate, denounced
the ATTEMPTED assassination but so
far has taken no action to bring
about a settlement of the long
drawn-out strike in his state.

Board Holds Lady
Can Get Benefits

Columbus, Ohio, July "A wo-
man who lost her job because she
joined a union was held to have
been discharged without just cause
and therefore eligible for unem-
ployment benefits in a unanimous
decision of the Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation's Board of

The Board found that the wo-
man, a dancing instructor, had not
only been considered a good in
structor by her employer but had
actually received considerable pub
licity to that effect.
Evidence showed that the wo-
mans employer had been hostile
to the formation Of a union among
his employees and had actually in
formed her that those employees
who joined a union would be dis
charged. When the union was form
ed, the woman and several other
dancing instructors were fired after
bt coming members.
In coming to its decision, the
Board stated that taking all evil

Greek Summer Drive
Against Rebels Nearly
Over, Officials Say
sy the Associated Pres,

KOzANE, Greece, Aug. 1s-High
Greek officials expressed belief to-
day that the summer offensive
against Communicated guerrillas is
nearly over"
Col. James F. Birmingham OF
Baltimore, chief Of the joint United
States military advisory planning
group attached to the I'd Army
Corps, supported this view. He said
the offensive will end VIGOROUSLY
within 10 days.
The Greek officials reported, how
ever, that 5000 rebels still are hold
ing out in the Northern Grammos
area. Guerrilla controlled territory
has been slashed to 8 square miles,
they said.
Gn Athens, q general staff
spokesman said the guerrillas
still held about 100 square miles
of Grammos territory, and that
stubborn resistance was indi.
Gated by the fact that govern
ment' forces gained only about
30 square miles in the past few
days. The spokesman said in
dications were that the rebel
forces were ordered to hold a
22-mile perimeter at all costs.)

Greek and American military Of
fcials predict most of the guerrillas

will seek refuge in Albania before
the battle ends.
These officials predict that Al
bania will not, disarm and intern
guerrillas retreating across the bor-
der despite a request from the
United Nations Special Committee
on the Balkans.
In addition, Greek military intel
ligence officers said Albania Is con-
tinually violating the Greek frontier
by permitting small groups of guer-
rillas to attack the Greek Army
from Albanian SOIL" They further
asserted that Albanians belonging
to special Communist brigades are
fighting with Greek guerrillas on
the Albanian Greek border"
British and American officers en-
phasized that the Greeks have
been careful not to violate the Al
bantam frontier and not to create
any border incident"
Rebels Still Have Arms.
Greek military intelligence re-
ported that from 5000 to 1000
wounded guerrillas have been trans
ferred into Albania since the Gram
mos offensive began June 81. Sur
rendered guerrillas said some Of the
wounded were sent on to Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia.
Col. Birmingham said the rebels
still appear to have substantial
amounts Of arms and ammunition.
He added:

supplies from Albania because
