At the GIL meeting, President
John J. Pitch OF No. 16 thanked
the delegates for their formal en-
dorsement and for the informal
assistance which the federation
had given the union since the
strike began more than a month
ago.
Pitch expressed special graft
tude to the federation for giving
No. Is free time over its radio
station, VIGIL, to get the facts
on the strike to the radio audience.
More than $4,000 in voluntary
contributions has been received
by the strikers, he disclosed.
Joseph Rhoden, chairman of No.
16's newspaper scale negotiating
committee, asked the delegates for
all-out political action to ensure
defeat at the polls next November
of all Congressman who voted for
what he bitterly described as "the
Taft-Hitler" law.
Attacking two false issues raised
by the publishers, Rhoden pointed
out that their objections to the
printers demands to posted Soon
ditions of employment" cannot be
considered valid, since the pub
fishers themselves in 1892 posted
similar conditions when the work
ers refused to accept wage cut.
At that time, he reminded the
meeting, the printers worked for
three years, nine months, and six
days without contract because
the publishers refused to sign one,
although they now maintain that
they will not grant a wage boost
without a contract.
A few days after the GIL meet
ing, the National Labor Relations
Board hearings into the publishers
complaints against the union were
to open here.
The course taken by the gov
eminent in earlier NLRB hearings
on the case prompted Gerhardt
Van Arkel, ITU general counsel,
to tell strike meeting here that
the government was engaged in
trike-breaking."

Along with the majority of

To the state boards claim that
national Go policy, as expressed
in resolution passed at the Bos-
ton convention, opposed third

resolution had specifically con-
demned both the Democratic and
the Republican parties, and had
pledged support to progressive
candidates.

A GIL meeting endorsed the
strike and passed a resolution
offering the federation's assistance
toward reaching an agreement
where it is unanimously request
ed by both parties"
After declaring the vote to pass
the resolution unanimous, GIL
President William Lee pointed out
that members of all the other

ballots with the printers, mem

The daily newspapers had been

unionists were opposed to the
strike.
Earlier, President Reuben C.
SoderStrom of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor had issued a
statement supporting No. 16 in its
fight against union-buSting use of
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Reaction can bring fascism to
America just as it did to Germany,
Italy, and JAPAN" Soderstrom
warned. He pointed out:
"Fascism's first blows are al
ways aimed at the unions of the
workers
Recalling that ALL President
William Green last week had ex-
pressed complete approval of the
strike, Soderstrom declared:

Soderstrom emphasized that the

unless defeated by the printers,
would destroy the movement of

Candidates for the Progressive
nomination for offices ranging
from U. S. Representative to
county coroner were announced
last week by George R. Cermak,
chairman of the party's central
committee.
At the elections next Novem-
Der, the slate will be headed by
Henry A. Wallace for President.

Homer F. Carey for states at

justice of the Municipal Court,
and Earl B. Dickerson for Rep

is. The petitions will be filed
between Jan. IS and rs.
One change in the Progressive
slate was announced. Mrs. Lucy
Sassaman, of 1927 S. Green ST.,
who had planned to run for the
3rd districts Congressional seat,
was forced to withdraw because
of the pressure of other activities.
SHE PLEDGED complete sup
port to the Progressive Party's
local slate and to the Wallace
candidacy.
Meanwhile rourt decision
clarifying the status of the Pro-
gressive Party was expected from
Judge Jacob Berkowitz of Mat
toon, sitting in Circuit Court.
Attorney Ted Raynor was to
present the Progressives' argu-
ment that the large vote for the
party in the recent judicial cleo
ton qualified 1T as new party
in Cook County.
A NEW PARTY, under the law,
is required to get at least five
per cent of the vote in order to
gain recognition. Carey, the Pro-
gressive Party's top candidate for
Superior Court judge, received
A per cent of the vote.
Opponents of the Progressives
have claimed, however, that the
results did not count because the
election was for judicial offices,
and not general. Raynor was ex-
petced to argue that the presence
of bond issues on the ballot made
the election general.
Regardless of the decision in
that case, the Progressive Party
will begin laying plans to become
