ITU Denies Favoritism
For Union Is Likely
Under Hiring Plan
BY the Associofed Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 24.zThe
contempt trial of the AFL Typo
graphical Union went ahead today
with the union conceding that hir-
ing discrimination is possible under
1T newspaper contract proposals.
Woodruff Randolph, ITU presi-
dent. testified Yesterday that job
favoritism for ITU members is pos
sible but highly improbable" under
the union-proposed hiring system.
The Taft-Haruey Act bars the
clc~cd shop and hiring discrimina-
tn against nonunion workers. The
IT, and its officers are charged
WI violating Federal Judge Luther
N. SWygert's injunction against any
ITU insistence on contracts tend
ing to preserve the closed shop.
Questioned Closely by Judge.
For 40 minutes Judge Swygert
questioned Mr.. Randolph closely
about the unions new hiring plan
of establishing board of two union
and two publishers representatives
to pass on the competency OF all
nonunion applicants for newspaper
composing room jobs.
Members of the ITU could get
Jobs under the proposal without
taking the test required OF a non
union applicant.
Judge Swygert wanted to know
two things about the arrangement:
First, whether union examiners
wouldn't be bound to have bias"
favoring union man for job over
a nonunion man; second, whether
the test requirement for non
union man wouldn't mean delay,
almost guaranteeing that an imme-
6iately available union man would
get the job. i
Randolph Sure of Fairness.
Mr.. Randolph said he was sure
the plan would work out fairly, with
nonunion men getting jobs, and
succeed in preserving skilled stand
ards in the trade.
But Judge SWygert pressed for
an answer on whether discrimina-
ton was possible.
Its a possibility isn't it?" the
court asked.
Yes. it's possible but highly i'm
probable" Mr.. Randolph said.
The ITU chief said union men
are required to take apprenticeship
or tests before becoming full-fedged
union members and, as result, they
have prior proof of competency.
Mr Randolph said the ITU would
not approve placing the hiring re-
sponsibility in the hands of COM
posing room foremen as had been
proposed by some newspaper pub
fishers.

Wise and loving parents take time
to teach their children about money.
In the beginning, all children know
about it is that the coin daddy gives
them will buy something they want
very much. Their first experience
with money is spending it. That Is
quite as it should be-for little ones.
AS soon as a child reaches the
age of reflective reason, which
means he can think about an ex-
perience and come to a decision
about it, he needs to be taught a
| little more about this. He needs to
know that the money-the coins
and bills he handles-are in them
selves valueless. What put value
into them was labor in making
something that people needed. His
dollar was created by labor, and Is
valuable only because there was
something useful stored for our, and
his, service.
He must learn that the money he
uses is but symbol OF labor, OF a
bit of some ones precious life turned
into a board, sheet Of steel. a
can of paint. barrel Of -four
something valuable to people. This
money is precious because there is
behind it the hopes, the power, the
skill and devotion Of many other
people. Money is valuable because
it is distilled power, power that
springs from the body and brains
of people.
When child gets that idea-and
he will get it very quickly if he is
allowed to earn a dollar by actual
work-he will not be inclined to
part with it for whimsey. Too
many young people, who should
know better, toss money about in a
gay gesture that to thoughtful peo-
pie Classics them as ignorant, If
not worse. About the older people
who waste money wantonly, there
is nothing to say beyond classifying
them with the delayed adolescent
group.

comes a complex matter. The best

Saving Money

way for children to begin is by
saving for a specific want or need.
Saving without purpose is too close
to boarding. Let the child save to
spend for a worth while purpose and
he learns something about the value
of money that will stand by him for
long time to come.
1t must be his own money that
he saves. Giving him quarter out
of the family purse so he may put
it in the bank is not doing much
to teach the child to save. His
parents saving is not his. His ex-
perience must be personal to be
valuable. All children need such in
