Association of the United States,
which claims to be the oldest in
corporated labor union in the Ma
ton, yesterday marked its 18th
anniversary with a banquet and

lish or Irish descent, Eric Lind
berg, executive secretary, ex-
planned. At the time, Mr.. Lind
berg added, Great Britain DOM
mated the field of textile printing.
Craftsmen emigrating to America
then concentrated in the Provi-
dence area.
Until the turn of the century,
the association remained predom-
inantly English-Irish. with the
skill passed along on a father
to-son basis. With the develop
ment. Of the textile industry in
the South. and with the spread
of the trade through new appren-
tices, however. the association
spread along the Atlantic States.
At present, about $50 textile
printing machines are in use
Among an estimated IS plants,
none of which is located farther
West than Memphis, Tenn, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lindberg.

ebration the association devoted

ness of approving a referendum

Two Units Held Gully
Of Strike Ban Violation
BY the Assoeioted Press

Two California labor organiza-
tions have been held guilty by a
National Labor Relations Board
trial examiner of violating the
jurisdictional strike ban of the
Taft Hartley Act.
NLRB said it marked the first
ruling Of a trial examiner on the

jurisdictional strikes and boycotts
as unfair labor practices. These
grow out of disputes between un-
ions over which is entitled to per-
form certain work.
The organizations were the Los
Angeles Building and Construc-
ton Trades Council (AFL) and
the Millwright and Machinery
Erectors, Local 1907, of the AFL
Carpenters Union, which is af-
filiated with the council.
Examiner Peter F. Ward said
in an intermediate report that
charges against the council and
carpenters local were brought by
the International Association of
Machinists (unaffiliated after two
lam members were forced by a
strike of AFL craftsmen to quit
work on power plant at Redon-
do Beach, near Los Angeles. The
machinists had been employed by
the Westinghouse Electric Corp.
to help install a steam turbine
electric generator in the plant be-
ing built for the Southern Cali
fornia Edison Co.
Mr.. Ward found the two AFL
organizations guilty of having en-
aged in a jurisdictional strike
and of having encouraged en-
ployes of Westinghouse and of
building contractors to join them
