Guild Demands
Newsprinf Probe

NEW YORK NPA) - The
American Newspaper Guild has
appealed to Congress to investi-
gate the newsprint monopoly, in
the wake of the demise of the
NY Sun. Sam Eubanks, ANG
vice-president, has wired to
Rep. Emanuel Celler 3D., N.Y.
asking that Celler's committee
investigating monopolies take
up the matter.
Eubanks said the newsprint
monopoly over supply and
prices "is a major factor in de-
struction of newspaper proper
ties, and cited the 104 per cent
price increase since 1899. He
cited enormous prifts of news
print producers totally unrelat-
ed to any reasonable measure of
fair return on mill investment"
and charged Excessive news
print costs in last three years
have contributed to d e t h of
newspapers, unemployment of
newspaper craftsmen and i'm
paired the ability of many pub
fishers to provide adequate eco
nomic security for t h ir en-
ployees. Eubanks said capacity
of Canadian mills exceeds de-
mand but that prices will be
maintained artificially in 1850
"to the further injury of the
newspaper i n d ustry in the
United States"
(The Sun, in folding, empha-
sized that the chief factor was
the unreasonable demands of
unions" Other newspaper pub
fishers have always shrieked
about union d e m a n d S also.
There is nothing to indicate that
they are doing anything about
the gouge in newsprint prices.)

sphere is getting thick with
demands for injunctions filed
by some of affected unions.
CIO has already held hear
ings on two unions-Office &

Food, Tobacco & Agricultural
Workers; and others are
scheduled in coming months.
Both unions have trooped
into courts in Washington,
Philadelphia and New York
with requests for injunctions
agai nst CLOS democratic
hearing procedures. It's in
teresting to note that these
unions, asking for injunctions
against CIO, use propaganda
that CIO had adopted "Taft-

Charges against unions are
that they've followed Com
munist, rather than CIO poll
cies, through every zig and
gag of party line.
Don Henderson of Eta, for
instance, announced in 1949
he'd resigned from Commu-
