VICIOUS ATTACK Being
MADE ON OFFICERS
OF I.T,U,

Incumbent officers of the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union are being
viciously attacked BY certain News
paper interests in an attempt To pre-
vent their reelection on May ~ tn
tho TIT Executive Council, John
Pilch. president Of Chicago TIT Local
IL chaieed yesterday.
Declaring that unprecedented gains
made for the membership within the
past few years are the chief cause for
the publishers ~animosity." Mr.. Pilch
cited "a scurrilous eight-page tabloid
circulated last week as an example Of
tho depths To which some can sloop
in the never ending effort to hold the
working mcn in serfdom.'
Mr.. Pilch said the tabloid. made up
IN the appearance OF a newspaper.
contained vicious lies and half
truths about the TT President. Wood
ruff Randolpli's policies and the Chi
eago lTt strike situation
He added, "sisnificantly. the tab
loid was not distributed here in Chi
cago where lTU members are on the
scene and know what the score really
is. The sheets hidden publishers
know their fabrication wouldn't be
swallowed here
The entire episode, Mr.. Pilcn said.
is part and parcel of the %unrelent-
ing campaign by newspapers to brow
beat the entire labor movement. 1t
continues the publishers policy OF
branding everything good for labor as
bad for the nation
Harassment and attempts to embal-
rass the TIT have reached "a new
frenzy Of activity Mr.. pilch added.
He said il has become obvious that
publishers throughout the country
have been advised to slow up new
agreements with the ITU until after
its election.
The plan. he said. is to create dis
sension within the union in order to
foster election OF officials with whom
the publishers cal deal to their bet
ter advantage. 'President Randolph
and the other members of the Execu-
tive Council, Elmer Brown and Larry
Taylor. vice presidents. and Don Hurd,
secretary-treasurer, have proved too
tough for the newspaper interests.
Publishers are pulling every wire to
interfere with their reelection Mr..
Pilch asserted.
All four OF the present lTU officials
have served two terms since 1914 eX-
cept Mr.. llurd who was elected to fill
an nneXpired term during the incum.
bency Of the other three and then re-
elected.

Mrs. Douglas said that the price of
- grocery items had increased IL per
cent during the last year. since she
had one shopping to inform congress
about food prices.
u come again today with the same
basket she said. but with different
price marks. The reason why the
price OF this basket of groceries is
greater than it was a year ago is the
business OF this House. After nine
months of NAM-sponsored decontrol.
the housewife had to pay SIS for the
same amount of food she could get for
SO under OPA. Let's see what an
other year of the MANS better to-
morrow has brought. The same items

Dewey And Truman

Reader, did you ever stop to think
how it is possible for a Washing
ton newspaper correspondent to be
"nOn-partisan in politics., Here's
the answer: He likely takes his big
political questions apart and re-
ports the positions taken by the
White House and Congress. Right
now, President Truman is laying up
his own failures en- Congress and
accusing the Republicans of trying
to make the West IAN economic
colony of Wall Street" That is a
sample of leadership" that the Ma
ton does not, and cannot, continue
at the Top of the Government of
the United States. 1t is as true to-
day as it was in 1863. Abraham Lin
coin said at Gettysburg that gov
ernment of the people, by the peo-
pie, shall not perish from the
earth" Truman cannot win on his
record.
On the other hand, Dewey prom
ises to unite the Nation and to "un-
snarl agencies" Dewey's promise TO
