International Union Votes
Five-Day Weçk With Lim
ited Assessments.
By the Associated Press.
LONG BEACH. Calif., September 17.
•^The International Typographical
Union, after voting for a five-day week,
found itself'last night in the throes of
a legislative tangle.
Shortly before approving one of a
erore of plans for a five-day week which
were presented at the seventy-seventh
annual convention, the delegates adopt
ed a resolution limiting assessments
against workers who are on a five-day
T.eek basis to 1 per cent of their weekly
incomes.
Would Rebuild Fund.
Later, the Finance Committee pre
sented a recommendation calling for an
assessment of 1 per'cent on all incomes
of workers for one year to rebuild the
administrative and defense fund.
Inasmuch as workers already are con
tributing 1 per cent to the fund, the
delegates found themselves faced with a
problem of how to meet the recom
mendation of the Finance Committee in
view of the action on limitation of as
sessments which would affect all work
ers if the five-day week is approved by
the various unions.
Convention leaders said steps would
be proposed today to straighten out the
conflict of the two propositions.
Plan Carried 76 to "4.
The adoption of the five-day week
plan for printers on newspapers which
are operating on a six or seven day week j
schedule was carried. 76 to 74, and later
an· amendment was added specifying
that the plan must be approved by the
individual unions in a referendum vote j
before it can become effective next
'January 1. The vote on the amendment
Was 111 to 39.
The proposal of the Finance Com
mittee for an additional a.ssessment was
presented with the statement that by j
such action the convention could add |
$1.600,000 to the fund affected.
During the debate, a proposition call- j
Jng for a four-day week was killed and 1
a resolution authorizing the Board of I
Trustees of the Union Printers' Home.1
st Colorado Springs, to require of the
340 inmates and others who might en
ter wills bequeathing whatever property
t'icy might have to the institution was
adopted.
