9-a-Week Wage Rise
Gained by Printers on
is New York DaiIies
BY the A.soeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, April 15.-Repre-
sentatives of AFL printers and 13
major daily newspapers in New
York reached an agreement today
on a new contract calling for 50
weekly wage increases.
The pact, announced jointly by
the International Typographical
Union and the publishers associa-
ton, climaxed two months of nego-
tiations. The old contract expired
March 80, but the printers have re-
manned on the job.
The new agreement, effective for
1872 months, will be submitted to
the individual publishers and the
membership of the unions New
York local for their approval. 1t
also must be approved by the TITUS
Executive Committee.
Comes After Nine Hour Session.
The announcement was made
early today at the conclusion Of a
nine-hour negotiating session.
The wage increase will raise the
scale of day printers to $99 for
36A hour week and that of night
shift workers to s104 Printers or
the late night shift will receive $10e'
for 35-hour week.
Spokesman for the negotiators
said the new scale exceeded that
received by ITU members in any
other section of the country.
Complete details of the tentative
settlement were not made public
The announcement said, however,
that the contract calls for an in
crease in the number Of apprentices
and some changes brought about
because of the Taft-Hartley law.
Other Terms Stand.
Other terms are the same as those
in the expired contract, 1t was said.
The Taft-Hartley Act bans the
closed shop. The union recently
abandoned its stand on the closed
shop issue in favor of the union
shop plan. Under the latter, nom
union members may be hired by
employers but they must join the
union after a specified period.
One Of the city's daily news
papers, the Journal of Commerce,
is not involved in the agreement.
The unions membership Is
scheduled to meet Sunday to vote
on acceptance OF the contract.
Some $500 printers are affected.

improved conditions.
The operators committee, headed
by Frank j. Taylor, countered with
five proposals, including opposition
to the hiring hall system, under
which the union sends men to ships
on a first-come- -first-served basis.
Other operator proposals asked
for elimination from the agree

OF Army Recruits
Never Saw Dentist

Seventy per cent Of the men en-

Surgeon General, estimated today.
Meanwhile, he added, the Army
has approximately 50 per cent less
than the number OF dental officers
it needs to cope with the demand
even though the Army has not ex-
Ipanded to the limit set by Congress
Gen. Bliss said the Army had
conducted a survey of men coming
into Fort Knox, KY, scene Of its
universal military training expert
ments, when it found so many men
needed immediate dental work.

Of the new recruits everywhere.

three recruits there-or 772 out of

has been much better than from

The Kiwanis Club Of Hardin
is sponsoring in Big Horn
County, a drive to assist in the
program of the Montana Chap
ter of the National Society for
Crippled Children and Adults.
The purpose of the Montana
chapter of this society is to
establish treatment and educa-
tional centers to serve the needs
of the cerebral palsied of the
state Of Montana. The first
center was established in the
fall of 1947 at Billings. The
second center was established
in the fall of 1948 at the Shod-
air Crippled Children'S Home.
The third will be established
early in 1949 and will be To-
Gated some place in western
Montana.
1t is reliably estimated by the
Montana State Board of Health
that there are 615 cerebral pal
sled children under the age of
81 who are desperately in need
of treatment and training The
purpose of establishing centers
for the care of these children
is to give proof to our legis-
lators of the need of legislation
to the end that a special edu-
cation law for the education of
these handicapped children
might be presented to the Leg
iSlature and enacted.
At present the center at Bill
ingS is taking care of Is Ger
ebral palsied children enrolled
in the nursery school at the
Eastern Montana Normal. The
nursery school begins at 900
A. M. and is continuous until
800 P. M. Children between the
ages of three and six are elig-
ible for nursery school work.
