NLRB Rules Out ITU's No Confrocf
Sfrofegy In Sweeping Judgments

Washington (LPA) - In tive
sweeping decisions that revealed
the full viciousness of the Taft
Hartley act, the Natl Labor Rela
tions Board ruled unanimously thai
Int'l Typographical Union-AFI
and it's Local 16 in Chicago violated
the law by following a bargaining
strategy aimed at obtaining closed
shop conditions.
AS a result, the board ordered
the ITU, its four top officers and
Local 16 to cease and desist from
causing or trying to cause
employers to hire employees in a
manner contrary to the Taft-Hart-
ley act.
2-Threatening to strike to make
employers observe a closed shop
or anything like it.
3-Encouraging loyes to
strike for closed shop conditions.
In addition, the board ordered
the international union and its
chief officers to cease and desist
from influencing employers in the
choice of foremen. Local 16 was
ordered to bargain in good faith,
and to embody any contract reach
ed "in signed agreement having
a reasonable duration" With two
board members dissenting, the
order to Local 16 was made to ap-
ply to the international.
The decisions were made in cases
originating from charges brought
by the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Assn in behalf of more
than 800 papers against the inter-
national, and by the Chicago News
paper Publishers Assn against
Local 16.
The bargaining strategy ruled
out of order by the board was
adopted at the ITU convention of
August 1947 just before the Taft
Hartley act went into effect in an
effort to reconcile the traditions of
the printing trade with the new
anti-labor statute.
The ITU abandoned written con-
tracts and drew up set of "con-
ditions of employment" under
which ITU members would work.
One condition was that no ITU
man would work beside non-union
men. According to the NLRB, the
conditions embody a threat on the
part of the union to declare a
lockout against an employer who
failed to meet the conditions.
A few months later, the ITU
this strategy by introduc-
ing what was called a "P GA" con-
tract under which the union would
enter an agreement that could be
at any time on 60 days
notice. The board ruled the P GA
"a tactical maneuver" designed to
force closed shop conditions by
use of continuing threat to strike.
Local 16 struck five Chicago
dailies in November 1947 over hir-

ing principles and remained out %
months until Chicago publishers
agreed to establish a joint union
employer hiring commission.
The international union has been
under injunction against using
policies allegedly in violation of
the Taft-Hartley act since March
1948. The injunction was expected
to be lifted when the US District
Court in Indianapolis received IA
copy of the NLRB's decision.
Whether the ITU will appeal the
decision to federal circuit court
was undecided when the board de-
cision was first released.

Smdll Town Unionists Show
Need To Vote In Local Polls
By DAN SMYTH

Oglesby, Ill. - The people of
0glesby, a small town of $4,000
citizens and two garmmar schools,
have given demonstration in min
iature of the effectiveness of poll
tical action i'm accomplishment of
labor's aims.
The AFL Trades and Labor
Council had trouble for months
with the Oglesby school board over
a union teachers grievance. So the
council put up its own slate of
candidates and elected new
school board.
The teachers grievance is now
considered settled.
Mrs. Helen Mecum, the teacher,
is a member of the Tri-Cities
Teachers Federation, a local Of
the American Federation of Teach
ers. The same local also represents
teachers Of LaSalle and Peru, Ill.
Illinois has a state teachers
tenure law under which three years
of teaching experience qualities the
teacher for permanent status. The
first 2 years are considered pro-
bationary, during which the school
board may drop the teacher with
out formal charges or a trial.
Last spring, at the end of Mrs.
Mecum's probationary period, the
Oglesby school board decided to
dismiss her. The union objected.
The matter was presented to the
Trades and Labor Council, which
supported Mrs. Mecum.
Wayne C. Butler, superintendent
of schools, and the board charged
organized labor was challenging
their right to administer the
schools. The union replied that
teachers have the right collectively
to protect their professional rights.
Just before the start of the l949-
1850 school year, the teachers local
called a strike. Irving Kuenzli,
AFT secretary, went to Oglesby
and tried to settle it.. Strikes are
illegal under the AFT constitution.
After comforting all night with
school board officials and repre-
sentatives of the union, Kuenzli
obtained an agreement that So
hour truce would be called, during
which the full board would be pre-
sented with this proposed settle
ment: (D that Mrs. Mecum would
be employed for her third year, but
(2) she would agree i'm advance to
resign at the end of the year.
The teachers, after debate, voted
to accept the agreement. But the
school board turned it down. The
strike was resumed. School started.
Both schools were kept closed by
picket lines.
Another board meeting was held,
at which angry parents and towns
people ordered the trustees to put
Mrs. Mecum back to work. The
board did, but four of the six trus-
tees resigned. The Illinois state
superintendent of public instruc-
tion charged the board had been
coerced, and withheld state funds
for financial aid to the school dis
trict.
Isaac Mason, the board presi-
dent, an insurance man, was one of
those who resigned. Then he ran
for reelection. The trades and
labor council put up James j.
Scaliarini, a cement works fore
man, against him.
The Mecum issue was the only
