Next week, the Init. Typo
graphical Union (AFD strike
against Chicago's five m a jor
dailies will enter its ninth month.
While ITU members employed
by Chicago's 1400 small print
shops turn e d to work two
weeks ago, after settlement of
the unions demands, the ITU
and publishers of the dailies re-
main deadlocked.
On Sunday, the publishers re-
jected the unions minimum con-
tract proposals, demanding that
the union arbitrate the entire
contract. To arbitrate the entire
contract, even such technical is
sues as jurisdiction and produc-
ton terms, which no outside ar
bitrator could fairly judge, would
be in conflict with longtime
ITU policy.
BUT. what is behind this strike,
and what does it mean to all I'M
ion members? Briefly this.
If the Chicago Newspaper Pub
fishers Assn. succeeds in break
ing the strike they will have es-
tablished precedent which
would signify destruction of all
gains achieved by workers in the
past 48 years.
Denied the closed shop by the
T AFT = riley Law-and the
closed shop is the very founda-
tion upon which the ITU. one of
Americas oldest unions. has built
job security and strong union
the ITU is asking the publishers
for conditions of employment or
contract guaranteeing job Sc
CURLY to its members.
The Chicago publishers argue
that they will not sign any agree
ment which goes around" the
TIL Law.
CONSIDER the side of the
printers. Before they were we'll
organized, speedup conditions
prevailed. A well-trained union
man could be fired and replaced
by non-union help, although gen.
orally non-union printers are far
from competent craftsmen.
The ITU, while making no
statement, apparently has ac-
cepted this standard of COM
potency: that the applicant for a
position shall be judged by
board of examiners composed of
ITU men and management rep
resentatives. Six years in the
printing field does not always
mean that a man is well-quah-
fled.
Such a clause was included in
the recent contract with the
Franklin Printing Assn, repre-
senting many of Chicago's COM
mercial printing plants. In addi-
ton, the ITU won weekly wage
raise of $11.89.

We'll drive you QUIT
Fling def in teeth
Of House probers

We'll drive people like you
out of Congress-"
That was unions reply to a
full-dress witch hunt by members
of the House labor subcommittee
who tried to move in on the mill
tant union which represents New
York's department store en-
ployes.
A further reply came in the
form of an announcement that
locals of the CLIO United Retail,
Wholesale and Department Store
Employees would strike to protest
the citation of nine of their lead
ers for contempt.
The Committee investigation
began as headlines drew near on
contracts between employees and
various New York stores and
warehouses. Rep. Fred A. Hartley
R., N.JD at press conference
challenged the legality of union
hiring halls and announced he
may sponsor an amendment to
his Taft-Hartley law under which
workers ousted from unions for
Communist affiliations" also
could be fired from their jobs.
= =
THE PROBE was marked by
questions into the political affil-
iations of the union leaders. De-
Ginning to answer such questions
as violations of their rights under
the First and Fifth Amendments,
the union leaders denounced the
investigation as an sinquisition"
designed to railroad us and de-
stroy our union.
Local IS Pres. Arthur Osman
accused the committee of doing
for management the dirty job"
of trying to wreck the union.
For every Osmans you put in
jail 100 Osmans will spring up!"
he declared. He charged the COM
mittee with undermining indus
try relations and warned that
their efforts TO destroy the union
were doomed TO disappointment.
Spectators in the room cheered
osman's parting shot. We'll
drive people like you out of Con-
