strikes would be contingent upon the
striking local unions full compliance
with new instructions to be issued by
the international union in accordance
with the decree.
THE outline Of 4 form agreement
was arrived at which might be offered
as a basis for negotiations not in con
flict with the terms Of the decree.
The international union agreed TO
recommend such form Of agreement
which does not contain any discrimi-
natory provisions based on union
membership OR non-membership to
its local unions as a basis for negOti-
atoms. to instruct It's local unions to
disregard advice previously given, and
to enter into agreements for a definite
term"
The joint announcement marked a
new phase in the TITUS battle against
the Taft-Hartley law, which began at
its Cleveland convention last August.
At that time the ITU announced that
rather than sign ~Taft-Hartley con
tracts wiping out traditional closed
shop and other union guarantees. the
printers would simply post conditions
OF employment in each shop. About
6S4 agreements have been reached on
a n%o-contract basis.
Van Arkel said the union was not
certain what it would do If a pub
Usher refused to reopen negotiations
or what it would do In those cities
where a lockout exists. Newspaper
printers have been locked out at
jamestown. N. y. Rockville Center.
n. y. Abilene. Tex. Allentown. Pa.
and Bartlesville. Okla.
The new agreement permits contin-
uation of lTU strikes against Is news
papers in nine cities, First interpre.
tation of %Swygert's Injunction was
that striking locals would be barred
from receiving strike benefits from
the international union.
Willingness of the lTU to drop its
~no-contract policy il substitute safe
guards could be found was indicated
in negotiations between Local 6 and
commercial print shop employers in
New York. An agreement was
reached there on a written contract
safeguarding existing lTU conditions
but a dispute on wages and other
issues has held up actual signing.

hold off on an appeal.
Taking part in the drafting of the

But. from talking to farm leaders
close to the grain trade | get the
opinion, although actual proof would
be hard to establish, that some Of
the fat boys up the line" are pulling
the strings which actually caused the
market drop. They point out that for
the past year there has been a full
blown campaign to make the public
believe that farm prices were too
high. They have even been trying to
convince the farmers themselves OF
this-just as the NAM is trying to
convince industrial workers that de-
zen wages cause high prices.
Anti-Labor and Anti-Farm Campaign
From Same Factory
1t can be easily seen. by those who
will see. that the anti-farmer cam
paign is of a piece with the campaign
against labor. which led many farm
ers to blindly vote for lawmakers who
put across the d%ictatorial Taft-Hart
ley law. Now look at the connections
