ITU Accepts Contract
In New York Granting
Control of ’Varitype’
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 4.—Union
representatives have approved a new
contract offered 2,500 printers bj
New York City newspapers.
Woodruff Randolph, president ol
the AFL International Typograph
ical Union, announced the action
yesterday.
He said the proposed agreement
had been approved by the ITU
Executive Council, which had re
jected an earlier tentative contract.
A favorable vote by the local
union’s membership remained the
only obstacle to settlement of tfffe
six-month-long dispute.
Laurence R. Victory, president of
Local 6, said he has called a mem
bership meeting for Sunday to vote
on the proposed contract.
He refused to predict the results.
171 e contract provides a $9 weekly
increase, gives the union a “priority”
hiring clause, and control over “sub
stitute” printing processes.
It was the lack of a provision
giving the union jurisdiction over
“substitute” processes, such as “vari
type,” which was cited by the ITU
Council as its main reason for re
jecting a proposed contract last
spring.
By use of varitype machines,
newspapers may be produced
through a photo-engraving process
without normal typesetting meth
ods.
The new terms were negotiated
in recent weeks by the Publishers
Association of New York City, rep
resenting 12 major dailies, and lo
cal and international officers of the
union.
Under the new proposals, the un
ion gets control of varitype and
other “substitute” processes, so long
as they are actually used on work
destined for the newspapers.
Several New York newspapers had
set up varitype equipment in prep
aration for a strike. In Chicago
and ^>ther cities, newspapers have
used such equipment to continue
publication during printers’ strikes.
The “hiring clause” of the pro
posed contract gives journeymen
printers who have worked in the
shop priority for jobs over those
who have passed printers' school ex
aminations and others.
Negotiations for the contract be
gan last February. The previous
agreement expired March 31, but
workers agreed not to strike pend
ing outcome of the negotiations.
Turkeys Will Cost
More This Year,
U. 5. Agency Reports
By the Associated Press
That Thanksgiving turkey
will cost you more than ever
this year, the Agriculture De
partment forecast today.
The holiday birds retailed at
about 60 cents a pound last
November in Washington.
The department also said
there is no prospect of lower
chicken and egg prices before
next year. The reason: Farm
ers reduced poultry flocks the
past year because feed grains
were scarce as well as high.

Here are the Facts!
F. W. Woolworth Co. New York warehouses had a
labor contract with Wholesale & Warehouse Workers
Union Local 65, C.I.O., which expired on July 8, 1948.
Another union (AFL), claiming
to represent a majority of our ware
house employees, petitioned the Na
tional Labor Relations Board for
certification as the exclusive bar
gaining agent of our warehouse em
ployees. The National Labor Rela
tions Board took jurisdiction and
ordered an election.
However, the name of Wholesale
<& Warehouse Workers Union Local
65, C.I.O., could not appear on the
election ballot. This union has not
complied with the anti-Communist
provision of the law of our land—
the National Labor Relations Act of
1947.
The petition of the AFL union is
presently pending before the
National Labor Relations Board.
Officers of Wholesale & Warehouse
WorkersUnion Local 65, C.I.O., im
mediately demanded under threat
of a strike that we enter into a new
contract with Local 65 even though
they admit failure to comply with
the provision of the law.
•
F. W. Woolworth Co. will bargain
with respect to wages, hours and
working conditions of its warehouse
employees with a union at any time
when, and only when, said union is
properly certified by the National
Labor Relations Board.
F. W. Woolworth Co. shall con
tinue to refuse to sign a contract
with any union which is not certified
by the National Labor Relations
Board.

Increase in New England
By the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 4 —
Textile mill cutbacks to a four-day
week mounted in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts today.
The Berkshire Pine Spinning As
sociates. Inc., disclosed yesterday
that it had placed 5,300 workers in
six Rhode Island and Massachusetts
cotton textile plants on a four-day
week because of lack of orders.
The Bourne Mills of Tiverton,
R. I., put 900 workers on a four-day

Berkshire officials would not pre
dict how long the cutback would
continue. Mills affected are in War
ren, Coventry and Valley Falls, R. I.,
and three mills in Fall River.
Textile sources said three factors
were affecting orders: Word-wide
import and export controls and the
dollar exchange situation, Southern
competition, and a postwar move

tile into American and world mar
kets.
