Printers Union Held In Contempt Of
Court For Insistence On Closed Shop

indianapolis. - The International
Typographical Union and its a top
officers were held guilty of con-
tempt of court by Federal Judge
Luther NJ. Swygert for its insist
ence on the maintenance of closed
shop conditions in contracts with
newspaper publishers despite the
ban on such practices contained in
his injunction issued against the
union last March.
In Washington, Henry Kaiser,
attorney for the ITU, said the un-
ion would ask a stay of Judge
Swygert's order pending an appeal.
Claiming partial victory in the
case, Mr.. Kaiser declared that it
appears that Mr.. Denham has
Completely failed in his shameful
attempt to break the Chicago
strike"
Judge Swygert's order does not
specifically stop the payment of
benefits to striking Chicago ITU
members as urged by the attorneys
for the National Labor Relations
Board. The order also did not out
law the demands of the union that
hiring and firing shall be done by
union foremen. The opinion said
that the evidence showed little or
no objection by publishers to the
employment of union foremen.
No penalties were imposed upon
the ITU, its president, Woodruff
Randolph, or 3 other officers, but
they were ordered to submit
sworn statement to the government
showing the steps to be taken in
order to comply with the court rul-
ing, and to appear in court within
10 days and demonstrate that they
have in face complied with the
order.
The judges decree directed the
union and its officers "to purge
themselves of their contempt of
the court" by taking the following
action:
Cease instructing the ITU to give
effect to contract clauses which
would cause or attempt to cause
employers to discriminate against
union employees by requiring
them to pass tests of competency
not required Of union members, or
"in any manner vesting in the lTU,
its subordinate local unions, or its
members control over the selection
and advancement of apprentices,
including the absence Of proce-
dure to break tie votes of a COM
mittee constituted for such pur-
pose"
Cease and desist from instruct
ing local unions to demand adher-
ence to a "form contract Of the
ITU, which causes or attempts to
cause employers to discriminate
against the hiring of non-union en-
ployes.
Cease supporting strikes of locals
in furtherance of demands enjoined
by the courts March II injunction.
Notify all locals by bulletin and
through the ITU Journal that the
union and officers have been held in |
contempt, and chat they have
withdrawn the unlawful clauses
and provisions of the ITU form
contract" and, hereafter, twill not
approve any contract entered into
containing such clauses or provis-
ions"
The court also ruled, as the
NLRB General Counsel had asked,

Truckers About
For Taft-hartIey

Washington (LPA) - The Int
Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL and
all other unions with members in
the trucking business were put on
their guard last week by the Am
erican Trucking Ass'n-the en-
ployers' organization in the indus
try.
The Association directors enthus-
iastically accepted the report of
its president, Ed j. Buhner of
Louisville, KY, which boasted that
the Taft Hartley law "has been all
that it's authors hoped for, as far
as our industry is concerned" /"
Buhner was particularly gleeful
over the abolition of the secondary
boycott.
The truckers president called up
on his buddies to do all in their
power to pay off their debts to pro-
Taft Hartley Congressman.
"All of you have heard about la
Dor leaders determination to drive
from public life those legislators
who supported the Taft Hartley
law" Buhner said.
at seems to me that, in our own
interest, that program ought to be
by an equal determination
on the part of employers that these
valuable public servants, regardless
of party, be maintained in Office"
he declared.
A resolution endorsing Buhner's
stand was unanimously adopted.

Mine WORKERS B00S Dewey; PLAN
TO PRESS WAGE-H0UR DEMANDS

Cincinnati (LPA)-GOP candi-
date Thomas E. Dewey got the bird
last week from delegates to the
| United Mine Workers convention,
which only the week before had
cheered denunciation of his op-
ponent, ID ocratic President
Harry Truman. While the UNIV
was in session Dewey had made
his speech praising the Taft-Hart-
ley law.
President John l.. Lewis, in his
sharpest tones declared: "Some
politician said recently that the
Taft Hartley act at least protects
the right of labor to organize. 1t is
just the reverse. That man hasn't
even read the act. There is one line
in the preamble which says labor
can organize and bargain collective
ly, and II pages of restrictions on
anyone who dares organize"
Later in the proceedings one
delegate who lauded Dewey was
shouted down by the delegates. A
number of UNIV local leaders are
known to interpret the last days
rejection of Dewey by the conven-
tion as a green light for the CO.
operation they desire to give other
local union political groups work
ing for the Democratic ticket.
Much greater emphasis, however,
was put upon the unions 1919
wage and hour campaign. The con-
vention adopted a resolution auth
orizing the national wage policy
committee to plan a pay-boost, and
hours-reduction campaign to be
launched when current contracts
expire in mid-1949, if not sooner.
Wage clauses in the 194S contract
are subject to reopening after 60
days notice.
Behind the demand for a shorter
work week was fear that mount
ing coal stocks may lead to un-
employment in the bituminous
mines. A 40-hour week now pre-
walls. Early in the convention Lewis
promised that if such a situation
develops thru failure of the indus
try to stabilize itself the union will
tackle the problem. Lewis also said
that he plans to ask for a lowering
of the retirement age at which
pensions are paid from 62 to 60.
After some debate a motion was
passed raising UNIV dues from 81
to $4 a month, and initiation fees
from $40 to $50. The international
union treasury will receive 50 a
month from dues, district organiza-
tions 81 and local unions 81. A few
thought the locals should
get a larger share.
No opposition was made to a
resolution increasing Pre- i d en-
Lewis salary from $25, 200 to $780,
coo. Vice President Thomas Ken
nedy and Secretary John T. Jones !
will now get $4,000 and executive
board members $4,000. Several
delegates urged that Lewis be
granted flat 100000 stating that
he was worth more than the Presi
lent of the U.s. who gets $4,000. Il
Lewis assured the convention
hat the UMW's leaders will "be
glad to urge and join and become
,art of unified labor movement"
lespite the failure of previous at
empts to achieve organic unity due
o "the lack of wisdom of some Ia
,or leaders" The convention voted
ts support of the Int'l Typograph-
cal Union-AFL's fight against the I
'aft- Hartley law.
