CouncilTakesUp
Fight Against Biff
Printing Concern
Attempt To Persuade Firm
To Recognize Rights Of
Trade Unions
The influence of the American Fed
eration of Labor to persuade R.
Donnelley & Sons Company, Chicago
anti-union printing concern, to recog
nize the trade unions in the printing
industry was mobilized by the recent
A. F. of L. annual convention at
Houston, Texas.
The matter was brought -to the at
tention of the convention in a resolu
tion introduced by delegates from the
International Typographical Union,
International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union of North America,
and the International Photo-Engravers
Union of North America.
The resolution asked the American
Federation of Labor to "endorse the
campaign of the Chicago, printing
trades unions against the anti-union
concern of R. R. Donnelley & Sons
Company, also known as The Lakeside
Press and the Reuben H. Donnelley
Corporation," and urged the use of the
"facilities of the American Federation
of Labor to the end that the vast
volume of work now being done at the
Donnelley plant shall be printed under
union conditions."
The convention adopted the follow
ing report of the Committee on Resolu
tions:
"Your Committee is in full accord
with the purport and objective of this
resolution, which is designed to the
end that work of printing tradesmen
employed by the R. R. Donnelley and
Sons Company of Chicago, now done
under non-union conditions, shall be
performed under union conditions.
"This of course can b«' accomplished
in one of two ways, either to organ
ize completely this establishment in
all of its departments and enforce
union standards or through influence
that may be brought to bear upon the
company through the power of patron
age or by a combination of both these
procedures.
"The resolution does not indicate
the procedure to be followed. It refers
to a campaign inaugurated by the
Chicago Printing Trades Unions, but
your Committee is wholly unaware of
the character of campaign outlined.
"Your Committee is unaware, there
fore, as to the extent this campaign
embraces cooperation on the part of
the A. F. of L. and its affiliated unions.
"Inasmuch as your Committee is de
sirous and anxious that the A. F. of
L. and its affiliated unions shall be
of service in every possible way, it
recommends reference of this resolu
tion to the Executive Council and in
the light and for the purpose herein
before indicated."

GRANTS REVIEW
Washington.—The Supreme Court
granted the Federal Government's
petition for a review of the Fifth Cir
cuit Court of Appeals decision holding
that membership in the communist
party is not, in itself, grounds for de
porting an alien from the U. S. The
Circuit Court rendered its decisions in
releasing Joseph George Strecker, Hot
Springs, Ark., from threatened depor
tation on a writ of habeas corpus. De
portation was ordered for Strecker,
born in Austria, on the basis of ad
mitted membership in the Communist
Party in 1932 and 1933.

Washington, D. C.—Whether history
is to decree war or peace for the
United States, nobody knows—but
whatever happens, thousands of pri
vates in the United States Army will
do their duty under hats that carry
the Union Label behind the sweat
band.
This important news was received
here by the Union Label Trades De
partment of the American Federation
Of Labor from Norwalk, Connecticut,
where the American Hat Company has
just received another Government
order for 25,000 army lids. The com
pany has a signed contract with the
United Hatters, Cap and 'Millinery
Workers' International Union.
When the order for 25,000 has been
completed that will make 55,000 Union
Label Army Hats according to Hugh
J. Glover, Organizer for the Hatters'
Union.
Work is dull only to those who take
no pride in it.

NEWS of the DAY—Selected
Employers Delinquent
In Reporting Earnings
Five Thousand Employers Warned
Failure to File Reports is
Punishable
Columbus, O.—Charles S. Leasure,
Chairman, Ohio Unemployment Com
pensation Commission, today reported
five thousand employers are delinquent
in reporting individual earnings of
employes for the first quarter of 1938
and warned that failure to file quarter
ly wage reports is a misdemeanor un
der tbe job insurance law subject to
persecution.
"The processing of benefit claims
•for eligible unemployed who were
formerly in the service of these em
ployers, will be seriously retarded if
they continue to be delinquent, in
asmuch as benefits are determined
from the worker's wage record on file
with the commission. If there is no
wage record, the commission must ob
tain the record and delay will result,"
said Chairman Leasure.
"The commission requires quarterly
reports from employers on individual
earnings of. each employe regardless if
the work ife over 65 or under 21 years
of age. These reports, made on Form
UCO-75, are due in offices of the com
mission within thirty days after the
end of the quarter. Reports for the
third quarter, due October 31, will be
delinquent after that date," he said.
In the first quarter 42,751 employers
reported the earnings of 1,547,971
workers covered by the job insurance
law and in the next quarter 39,800
employers reported the wages of
1,507,106 covered workers. These work
ers have established wage credits on
which the commission will figure their
benefits if they are jobless and apply
after January 1st.
From the worker's viewpoint, the
wage report is the commission's most
important requirement of employers,
according to Chairman Leasure. An
employer may be unable to pay his
contributions to the unemployment
compensation fund, but he should not
fail to report wages of his employes
since a qualified worker will be entitled
to benefits even though his employer
failed to pay contributions.
Employers cannot hope to conceal
failure to report wages since this fact
will be disclosed when former em
ployes apply 'for benefits, it was
pointed: out» Workers desiring inform
mation regarding wage records may
write the commission giving their so
cial security number with names and
addresses of employers.

Not Deal With Unions
Company Union Charge Referred To
A. F. L. Council
Because "The Magazine Photo-En
graving Corporation have persistently
refused to deal with any legitimately
organized union of the labor move
ment and during the last year fostered
and entered into an agreement with alt
organization of its employes, which
organization cannot be regarded as
other than a company union," the res
olution asked that the A. F. of L. de
clare the eight publications to be un
fair and that all state and city cen
tral bodies be notified of the conven-^
tion's action.
While expressing complete sympathy
in the object sought by the resolution,
the Committee on Industrial Relations
said that an attempt should first be
made by the officers of the American
Federation of Labor to adjust the
grievances complained of and recom
mended that the matter be referred to
the Executive Council for such pro
cedure. If the Executive Council fails
to adjust the controversy the conven
tion ordered that body to so notify
"organized labor and its many affili
ated bodies of the cause for such fail
ure and for the purpose of advising
labor how best to direct its patronage,
and in channels fair to labor."
The annual convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor at Houston,
Texas, adopted the recommendation of
the Committee on Industrial Relations
referring to the A. F. of L. Executive
Council the resolution introduced by
delegates of the International Photo
Engravers Union of North America
asking that seven publications of the
McCall Corporation 'be declared un
fair by the American Federation of
Labor."
The resolution charged that the
'Magazine Photo-Engraving Corpora
tion of Stamford, Conn., is an adjunct
and subsidiary of the McCall Corpora
tion "established primarily to produce
the engraving used in printing the^
magazines published by the McCal^?
Corporation, which include McCali
