Accomplishments
OF Printers Union

New York City ILNS)-History
and accomplishments of big 6"-
international Typographical Union
No. (Which celebrates it's Tooth
anniversary this year-are pre-
sented in the April issue of the In
dustrial Bulletin, the State Labor
Departments monthly newsmag-
azine, which features a survey of
the printing and publishing indus
| try in New York state.
This New York City union, gen.
orally considered the top-ranking
collective bargaining unit in the
industry, has a membership of ap-
proximately 10000 journeymen and
500 apprentices. About 5000 of its
journeymen do "book and job
work, some 1000 are employed by
newspapers and the remaining l.
900 are pensioners. The "book and
job" classification includes virtu-
ally all kinds of printing done out
side of newspaper plants.
Unions Gains Cited
The Bulletin points out that from
its inception in 1850 "Big 6" has
worked constantly to improve the
lot of its members. 1t won an g.
hour day after strike in 1906 and,
during the early 1905, it achieved
the 5-day week. 1t is primarily
responsible for the current stand
ard work-week of 36H hours for
book and job printers.
The local negotiates one annual
master contract with the New York
Newspaper Publishers Association
and another with the Printers Lea
que Section Of the New York En-
ploying Printers Association. In
dependent employers, in most in
stances, abide by the terms of these
master agreements.
Against an historical backdrop
tracing the development of the
printing and publishing industry
back to Gutenberg's day, the Bull
letin's survey gives information
about the principal printing pro-
cesses, the subdivisions of the in
dustry, apprenticeship programs,
employing printers associations, as
well as the printing trades unions.
Printing Union Pioneer
The study points out that the in
dustry was one of the first in
which organized labor emerged as
a potent force. The formation of
printers into organizations design
to promote their own interests
dates back to the American revolu-
ton.
Printing trades apprenticeship
programs in the state are current
ly in progress in more than 2,0CO
plants with total enrolment of
almost 1000, the survey says. Only
the construction trades boast more
apprentices.
In addition to the survey, the
April issue also includes a report
by thosNew York State Commission
on Displaced Persons, digest of
recent developments in the labor
and labor relations fields, interpre-
tations of selected sections Of the
labor law, and Qualifications of the
new disability benefits law.

Rail Workers Hit
Plan For Leasing
OF Freight Cars

Chicago LPA)-A widely pub.
licized scheme by which big insur-
ance companies are to buy new
freight cars from manufacturers
and then lease them to the rail
roads drew the fire this week o1
the AFL-Railway Employees De,
partment. The department repre-
sents seven unions with quarter
million members employed in rail
road shops.
Rep. Emanuel Celler Cd, N. ",
chairman of a House monopoly in
vestigating committee, previously
assailed the plan on the ground
that it was another move of the
insurance trust" to grab control
of industry.
The AFL department declared
the result would be loss of jobs for
railmen-mainly, because carriers
which now build their own box cars
would lease others instead, wiping
out their car building shops.
chronological changes have al
ready caused sharp reduction in
railroad employment, and this plan
will intensity the loss," the depart
ment said.
Also, it warned the railroads
might in the future find themselves
in life-and-death crisis if their
rolling stock is in the control of a
third party"-the insurance COM
panies, and if the latter foreclose
on unpaid debts.

Business killing
Free Enterprise,
Survey DiscIoses

| Washington (LPA)-Free enter
prise is being killed by business it.
self, not government. That is the
conclusion of a survey made by
The Machinist, publication of the
international Association of Mach
linists.
The survey shows that the gov
ernment brought to court more
than 500 different firms in the past
two years on charges of attempt
ing to eliminate competition by
price-fixing or violating the anti
trust laws. In 1949 alone, the sur
vey shows, 263 corporations were
charged with attempting to elimin-
ate competition in violation of the
antitrust laws.
In its copyright story, The Mach
mist points out that even the fig
ures it gives do not tell the story.
as authorities agree that the De-
partment of Justice can investi-
gate only about 10 per cent of the
complaints it receives, because the
antitrust division annual budget is
about $3,750, 0,000-less than most
cities spend on their police depart
mentS.
"Illegal price fixing and other
attempts to throttle business COM
petition have reached such pro-
portions" declares The Machinist
article, that Attorney General
McGrath has labeled antitrust
violations the most pressing do
mestic problem of our time next to
unemployment"
In an editorial commenting on
the survey, The Machinist points
out that the antitrust laws, design
ed to maintain free enterprise are
dying, and that big business, which
talks loudest about protecting the
American way of life, is killing
free enterprise.
Declaring that big business has
made every effort to stifle COM
petition and free itself from the
antitrust laws, the editorial points
out that the drive began in the 80th
Congress, when the insurance and
transportation industries won COM
plete exemption from competitions;
that the drive is continuing with
an attempt to ram through legisla-
tion to wipe out the laws intended
TO protect small business firms
from price discrimination.
Even in industries still supposed
ly covered by the antitrust laws,
violations are common, and when
the companies are caught the fines
are small, are charged off to busi-
ness expense, and the violations
continue.
& In a majority of the government
suits price fixing to prevent price
cutting is charged. Other illegal
transactions include boycotts, price
discrimination against independent
retailers, industry-wide carte |
agreements under which corpora
tions pledge themselves not to COM
pete in one another's territory.

Chicago Painters Offered 10 Cents

Chicago (LPA)-A strike of a.
900 AFL painters here apparently
has been averted by an offer from
the contractors association of an
increase of 10 cents an hour, re-
troactive to April L. The offer will
be submitted to a referendum. The
painters previously had rejected
71a cents. The increase would make
the scale S247. The average for
other building trades is around
$3.50.

German Unionists
Stress Training
Of Younger People

Washington LPA) - German
trade union leaders consider that
one of their major jobs is to help
the young people train for peace
time jobs and to become effective
citizens of a democracy.
That was made clear by a group
of IL German unionists, sent to the
US under the auspices of the mill
tary government, who are starting
three-month trip during which
they'll see the Congress and feder-
al agencies in action, unions and
industrial plants in big and small
communities, and will live in the
homes of industrial workers. The
delegation which began their trip
in Washington April 13 is one OF
many such groups. t 49, !
"Therycnhg people are reSones
who only learned about democracy
after 1896" Walter Rau pointed
out. Rau is an enthusiastic, APPLE
checked lad of "a, railroad work
er, and a member Of the youth sec
ton of the railroad union. The
youth sections, which have no coun-
terpart in the US, have two func-
tions. They help boys and girls to
become apprentices and work for
the best possible laws governing
employment conditions for those
learning crafts. And they are try
ing to train the young people in
democratic procedures.
In Rau's union in Stuttgart, for
instance, there were voluntary
classes one night week last year,
at which they studied public speak
ing, writing for publication and
parliamentary procedures. Most of
the active young unionists, like
their pre-Hitler elders, are mem
bers of the SPD, the Social Demo-
cratic party. Some belong to the
Christian Democrats, leaving the
pro-fascist parties to Others,
There are two other younger
workers in the group. Margarethe
Weiss, stunning blonde, is secre-
tary of union local, and a mem
Der of the government workers
union which also includes office
workers and transportation work
ers. A brieklayer, Edgar Wilhelm
of Stuttgart, is member of a
building trades union, and is rs
years old. ~ A
There is still lot, of friction in
relations between the older union
leadership and the 20-year-olds,
members of the delegation were
frank to admit. AS Eugen Bach,
a German government labor offic-
lial explained, "the older people had
to take over in 1945 when the union
were reconstructed after going un-
background in the Hitler regime.
They naturally wanted to continue
| in the old scheme of things. That
didn't suit the younger people. 1t
was new situation. 1t demanded
new methods. But generally speak
ing now they're working together.
Several of the older men and
women in the delegation were in
concentration camps under the
Nazis because of their anti-Hitler
activities. Visiting the Senate, they
were especially impressed with the
freedom enjoyed by the Easter
time visitors to the Capital to go
where they wished, and to sit and
listen to the discussions of the
Senate.

POLIO
IN West, NORTH;

The steady spread Of poliomyelitis
in Anchorage and Fairbanks with
cases divided about evenly between
civilian and military residents
amounts to an epidemic there, Ter
ritorial Health Department officials

Since August TO-. DR.. Robert P
German, Fairbanks Health Officer
has reported 10 cases to date. while
10 have been reported from An
chorage.
There is uncertainty as to whether
some of these reports are duplica-
tions. as several Ladd Field patients
are believed to have been transfer
red to the Fort Richardson Hospital,
and possibly to the states.
The "score" for Southeast Alaska
remains the same. There was a
death September 20 in Ketchikan
and one active case remains.
One mild case was reported here
The young Juneau patient is greatly
improved, and has been allowed
to walk around little in his room
at st. AIMS hospital.
A Health Department spokesman
said today that reports indicate the
recently reported cases were dag
nosed as polio of non-paralytit
nature.

He found evidence of good coho
