Labor Board Receives
Data on Slowdowns
On 2 Detroit Papers
DETROIT, April 3.—A labor board
hearing record was loaded today
with date*, places and figure* on
alleged printer slowdowns at two
Detroit newspapers.
They were put there ae evidence
In an unfair labor practice oaee
against the AFL International
Typographical Union.
Here Is what they were purported
to show:
Editions of the afternoon Times
were delayed or canceled on at
least 10 days between last November
18, and December 13. During that
time, 130 editions were affected and
306 hours of operations and more
than a million and a half copies of
the newspaper were lost.
Circulation Suffered.
On tee Morning Free Press op
erations were affected at least six
night* between November 19, and
December 8. In some cases more
than half of the newspaper’s cir
culation was lost.
The Times figures were given
yesterday by its business manager,
W. H. Mills. Circulation Manager
E. R. Hatton submitted the Free
Press data under questioning by
National Labor Relations Board at
torneys.
Mr. Mills said the interruptions
at the Times were caused by work
ing-hour chapel meetings of ITU
typographers and mailers. Mr. Hat
ton said only the mailing room was
hit by chapel meetings at the Free
Press.
Clifford G. Sparkman, president
of Detroit Typographical Union 18,
and Max Burns, president of Detroit
Mailers’ Union 40, were at the hear
ing, but their testimony was put
over to today.
Warned of Firing.
After several work interruptions
at the Times, Mr. Mills said, he
told Sparkman the management
“has gone about as far as we could
go.’’
“I told Sparkman,” he added,
“that unless the situation was cor
rected we would have to start fir
ing.”
Mr. Mills said both Mr. Spark
man and Mr. Bums “expressed sur
prise” when informed of the alleged
slowdowns “during the general
rumpus.”
The NLRB complaint accuses the
ITU of attempting to evade the!
Taft-Hartley Act’s ban on a closed!
shop by insisting on "conditions of
employment” which, in effect, would
give them one.
The hearing was moved here
Thursday from Chicago, and will
continue in Buffalo, N. Y., Monday.
Bill Would Extend Licenses
Of 5-Year Electricians
Electricians who have operated
here for five years or more and who
face a District Commissioners’ or
der that will put them out of busi
ness July 1, unless they can pass
a master electricans’ examination,
would be permitted to continue
their work under a bill Introduced
In the House yesterday by Repre
sentative Dlrksen, Republican of
Illinois.
The measure also would cover
other craftsmen who might be
affected by such a regulation.
The commissioners Issued their
regulations under an act of 1944
giving them broad powers to con
trol certain businesses and to Issue
licenses for a wide variety of con
cerns here.

"FIGHT CANCER" ...
Trite word*? Not when you know the tregic fact*
of which these words are sum and substance. Last
year more than 188,000 Americans died of cancer—
rich and poor, young and old—one every three min
utes. Research and education are our most potent
weapons in the war on cancer. Your contribution is
needed to corry on the fight—to wipe out cancer—to
guard yourself and your loved ones from this dread
disease.
