Calls Chicago
Victory Greatest
In lTU History

ST. PAUL (LPA) - Settle
ment of the 22-month strike of
the International Typographical
Union-AFL against Chicago
newspapers was "the greatest
victory in the history of the
ITU," President Woodruff Ran
dolph told the LPA.
1T was basic victory in Sc
curing the standard commit
ments by employers to union
laws heretofore accepted all over
the country during the entire
history of the ITU," Randolph
said.
Under the contract, fright out
lawed by the Taft-Hartley act
will be automatically restored
when the law is repealed" he
declared.
Randolph said the employers
had unlimited money and were
buttressed by the most damnable
anti-labor law ever adopted. The
employers were shepherded
through the intricacies of that
law and its most vicious injunc-
ton processes by government at
torneys. r. N. Denhan, czar of
the TIL act, sided with the pub
fishers all the way through, as
did Senator Taft and the Re-
publicans in Congress-"
Randolph revealed the union
had to spend S14,000,000 of the
S18,250,000 raised in special as
sessments to defend itself.

Union Counselling
Pays Off In Chicago

CHICAGO LPA) - A m e
Steel shut down for two weeks
a year, and the employees, MEM
bers of the United Steelworkers-
CIO, get a two-week paid vaca-
tion-if they have qualified by
length of service. Newer en-
ployes are just laid off.
On their return to work, the
newer employees thought they
might be entitled to unemploy-
ment pay for those two weeks.
The company had done nothing
about it, so the Locals counsel
lors went to work. They found
out that claims could be filed,
and those laid-off workers will
soon get their benefits.

pealed to CIO President Phillip

Pofman AssaiIs
Arp campaign
Calls II A
MISREPRESENTATION

WASHINGTON, D. c. (CNS)
- The A & P case has now
become major American eco
nomic battle. This week Rep.
Wright Patman, chairman of the
House Committee on Small Busi-
ness, told the House that this
nation has never before seen a
comparable effort to obtain a
pre-judgement in the public
mind of suit pending in duly
constituted court"
Patman estimated that the
APP ''has so far poured nearly
S5,000,000 into this propaganda
campaign-S5, ,000,090 that will
eventually be paid for by con-
sumers who buy in A&P stores" i.
Misrepresentation Is Charge
''The A&P is telling the peo-
pie that this antitrust suit has
been filed against them because
they are selling food at low pri-
ceS Patnan said They say
they are being attacked because
they have grown large through
efficiency and economy; that the
government wants to destroy
them because they are big, even
if the public gets hurt in the
process. This new, unexpected,
and unjustified attack upon
them. APP says, will raise food
prices, will penalize efficiency,
will destroy APP and every 9TH
er efficient chain store in the ma
ton"
Patman branded this line of
attack in its series of newspaper
ads a conscious employment of
gross and deliberate misrepre-
sentations.
Every so-called fact, every
inference, every innuendo in
APPS propaganda material con-
tains a deliberate Justification,
Patman charged. Il say deliber-
ate because no mind capable of
preparing this material could
possibly be unaware that every
line distorts and misrepresents
the charges made against A&P
and the results that will follow
the government suit"
Will Not Raise Prices
''The pending suit will not
raise prices, Patman said. "It.
will reduce the costs and hence
the prices of all of those inde-
pendent grocery stores who must
now pay higher prices because
of the rebates which the Arp
secures. Over go percent of the
American public buys in grocery
stores whose prices are artificial
ly high because of this subsidy
paid to the APP. The pending
suit will end these subsidies and
enable these stores to reduce
their prices"
Moreover, the suit will end
the APPS practice of forcing con-
Sumers in one area to subsidize 4
APPS price wars in another. 4
Price in most of APPS own
stores should come down when |
this evil procedure is forbidden. 1
The suit will not close single
A&P store, the Congressman |
concluded.
The Congressman is making
to all who ask COM \
plete texts of his talk in the
House.
