Employers Still
Losing While AFL-
Typos Stay Out

Indianapolis (LPA) = Through
hampered by a Federal court in
junction, the Intl Typographical
IJnion-AFL was still battling this
week for the fullest possible safe
guards against the restrictive pro-
visions of the Hartley Act.
In a bulletin sent to members,
the ITU made it clear that the in
junction, bad as it is, does not
mean a surrender by the union to
the kind of Taft-Hartley conditions
sought by many publishers and
printing plant owners.
"We will continue to bargain for
fair wages and for such protec-
tion as is permitted under the court
Decree" the union declared.
Also, it cited the fact "some en-
ployers' organizations are demand
ing impossible settlements on the
theory that the ITU cannot pay
strike benefits to a large number
of men on strike"
1t predicted failure for these en-
ployer efforts so long as the men,
bers "refuse to weaken in their de-
termination to support those on the
picket lines"
"Ignore the croakers and defeat
iSts," the ITU urged. "Our life as
union is at stake"
Meanwhile, despite the injunc-
tion and the fangs of the Taft
Hartley Act, the "Big Six" local
of the union won significant
round in New York City. There,
the big magazine and job shops
cancelled notices which imposed
40-hour week and which took away
other long-established union con-
ditions.
After that was done, nearly 1000
striking printers marched back to
work-on the 36Y2 2-hour week which
prevailed before. Negotiations were
then resumed on the issue of
wages. A second victory for the
union followed when the Natl La
Dor Relations Board, at the request
of the printing employers, with
drew unfair labor practice charges
against the "Big Six" local.
The union and the printing en-
ployers previously reached an
agreement on a precedent-making
formula, which protects the union
against many of the most drastic
provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act
and which goes far toward main
tanning the existing "closed shop"
Negotiations were also under
way with New York City publish
ers, both for a similar formula and
for wage increases. A deadlock
arose, however, over a publishers
demand that the union abandon its
'"bogus" rule-that is, the rule un-
der which local "ads" delivered in
mat or engraving form must be re-
set in the composing room of the
newspaper receiving such "ads. ~

Printers Resume
Contract Talks

Washington (LPA)-Agreement
was reached this week between the
Int'l Typographical Union-AFL and
the NLRB on the general terms of
a union security contract which
would be acceptable to NLRB on
legal grounds. The draft contract
will be presented to all printing
trades employers who have accept
ed the unions conditions of en-
ployment" notices as well as to
proprieters of struck newspaper
and job printing plants.
The joint announcement by the
ITU and the Board followed the re-
fusal of federal judge Luther Swy-
gert to grant the unions request
for a stay of execution of his in
junction against continuing strikes
to establish its "no contract" pol
icy.
Altho Swygert's order contained
a section forbidding the union to
pay strike benefits, the board
agreed with ITU it can do so if
it Immediately takes steps to re-
enter negotiations with employers
in good faith"
Until the NLRB completes its
hearings on the complaint of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Assn accusing lTU of unfair labor
practices in violation of the Taft
Hartley act, ITU will have to of
fer employers contracts in keeping
with the interpretations of NLRB
General Counsel Robert Denham.
Otherwise it will be subject to con-
tempt proceedings under the injunc-
tion, which runs until NLRB has
handed down its opinion on the
publishers complaints.
Meanwhile, negotiations between
ITU and job printers in New York
are continuing, but Chicago's news
paper publishers against whose at
tempt to use Taft Hartley to break
the union lTU struck last Novem-
ber, have not yet indicated whether
or not they are prepared to "bar-
gain in good faith"

cooperation of the employees in
producing a good quality product,
which we must have, in order to
maintain the rates and provide
steady employment. Mr., George
Crawford, Vice President, and Mr..
Dean M. Staley, factory manager,
also expressed their appreciation
for the cooperation of the local in
the past, and looked forward to the
future with the same hope.
Bro. Wheatley, and President
Kirkwood, responded for the local,
and gave Mr.. Whitaker the assur-
ance that the men would give the
firm their best cooperation, and
that the agreement would be lived
up to in the spirit in which it was
negotiated and signed.
Now that local 1873 has new
agreement, it the responsibility of
every member to do his part, to
see that there are no violations of
it, and also to keep ever in mind
that, through the medium of our
Local was it possible to write such
an agreement. If there are any
among our members who feel that
local 1873 has not given them good

thinking, will not meet their obi
cations when the Defense Collec
tor, comes around, then it's time
for that Brother to take stock of
himself, and make up his mind to
pay his dues regularly and help the

shirks his obligations by being con
stantly on the delinquent list, there

Unions Fear Rent
Contro! Boss Has
Sold Out Tenants

Washington (LPA)- Suspicious
of labor spokesmen that acting rent
control administrator Tighe Wood:
has sold out to the real estate in
terests were strengthened last
week.
First, Woods decided that the ole
procedure for raising rents, with
out requiring public hearings or a
record, and without any recourse
for tenants if the rent control ad-
ministrator rules for a rent boost,
still can be used. The new law rs
passed by Congress is much strict
er. 1t would require public hearing
by the local board, proper advance
notice of the hearing, and prepara-
tion and transmittal of a record
to the rent control administrator.
In addition, if the administrator
fails to approve the local boards
recommendation, it automatically is
referred to an emergency court of
appeals for final approval or disap-
proval.
Woods ruling, attacked by the
unions as completely irregular, not
to mention illegal, is interpreted
as a capitulation to the landlords
lobby.
Chief stooge for the lobby in
Congress is Sen. Harry Cain (R.,
Wash.), who forced a special ses-
sion of a Congressional committee
the day after the 1913 rent control
law was passed At this session,
Woods was asked go questions
which Cain proposed, virtually all
of them intended to soften up"
the rent control administrator
Woods confirmation as permanent
rent control administrator (called
Housing Expediter in the law is

Wood under the new law turned out
to be complete ~decontrol of the

Denies Craft
In Two Mills

Washington LPA)-The NLRE
last week refused to grant sep
arate bargaining agent election in
/ two steel plants. Denying petitions
of the Bricklayers Union-AFL, the
board ruled unanimously that the
Taft Hartley law does not require
it to carve out jurisdictions in
plants where plant wide bargaining
has been the practice. Both the
United Steelworkers and an indie
pendent union joined company man
agement in arguing the case for
Industrial unionism.
Altho the Taft Hartley law for
bids the board from continuing a
single plant units status simply on
the basis of a previous decision, it
does not obligate NLRB to totally
disregard company's collective
bargaining history. Most important
factor in the boards decision was
it's finding that the work of the
bricklayers in thestwo plants is
closely integrated with that of
other workers, and places them
logically in the same union group.
NLRB asserted, however, that its
decision should not be interpreted
as an abandonment of its willing
ness to ease "the path of union
desiring severance Of craft
union" But it did close the issue
in 65 basic steel producing com
panies where "the same situation"
of bficklayers working ide-by-side
with production labor exists.

Small Phone Exchanges
Excluded From Union

Washington (LPA)- Over the
objection of Chairman Paul Her
zog, the NLRB ruled last week that
small rural telephone agencies
supervised by "agency contractors
are outside the scope of a phone
company's bargaining unit.
The board accepted at face value
the Southwestern Associated Tele-
phone Company's contract language
that the agency exchanges which
serve about 25 rural subscribers
each are run by "independent con-
tractors" Therefore they and the
operators they hire cannot be in
corporated into company-wide
bargaining unit.
Hergoz pointed out that the COM
pany can terminate the contract
on "a hours notice, and in fact has
"master-servant" relationship
with the agents. He warned against
taking independent contractor"
clauses in employment agreements
too seriously and urged the board
to look at the substance rather
than the form of the case.
A representation election for 9TH
er employees in the Southwestern
system was ordered, with the
Southwestern Telephone Workers
and the Int'l Brotherhood of Elec-
trieal -AFL on the ballot.
If we could see ourselves as 9TH
ers see us, we'd be a mess of plumb
folks.

Trucking Pay Rates Up;
Weekly Hours Drop

Washington, ID c. (ILNS)-Reg-
istering a gain of Is per cent with
in one year period, the average
hourly pay scale for more than
100000 union motortruck drivers

its annual survey of union wage
scales in local trucking in rs cities.
Rate levels ranged from an 80
cent average in Atlanta to S1.54 in
San Francisco. In 16 cities the av-
erage rate was SLIPS or more an
hour; the actual amounts of in
crease over the year varied from
IL to 80 cents an hour. Although
a number of the contracts on July
1, 1947, guaranteed a longer work
week with premium rates for extra
hours, nearly two-thirds of the
union drivers had a straight-time
of 40 hours. A year earl
ier the weekly schedule of over
two-fifths of the drivers was AS
hours or more. At that time, less
than half had a 40-hour workweek.
