Chicago Printers Vote
Today on Settlement
Of 22-Month Strike
By th» Associated Prats
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—The long
and costly Chicago newspaper
printers’ strike—a dispute that
clashed head-on with the Taft
Hartley Act—may be ended to
morrow.
The 1,500 striking printers will
vote then on whether to accept
a contract that would give them
a $10 weekly wage boost and per
mit the hiring of experienced
non-union employes in compos
ing rooms.
On non-union hiring, the Chi
cago Tribune reported, the pro
posed contract says: "Member
labor organization shall not be
a factor in such hiring or in the
tenure of employment.”
(A closed shop, which is
banned by the Taft-Hartley
law, requires that only union
members shall be hired. A un
Ion shop, permitted under the
law, provides that non-union
members may be hired but are
required to join the union
within a specified time. An
open shop permits non-union
employes to work with union
employes.
(The proposed contract was
not made public, pending ac
tion by the union. However,
some Chicago newspapers have
printed some excerpts from it.)
Favored by Union Officials.
The executive board of the
AFL International Typographical
Unioq has approved the manage
ment contract offer. Officials of
the international and local union
have urged the rank and file to
accept it as the best the union
could get “under restraints of the
Taft-Hartley law.”
The strike issues conflicting
with the Taft-Hartley law
stretched the dispute into one of
the longest and most costly cur
rent strikes in the nation. The
case was before the National Re
lations Board and in an out of
the federal courts.
The strikers lost about $13,000,
000 in salary during the 22
months strike. The dispute cost
the union an estimated $11,000,
000 in strike benefits, court costs
and loss of dues.
The printers got their last wage
boost—$10 weekly—on October
21, 1946. The strike started No
vember 24, 1947, when the two
sides failed to reach an agree
ment.
The union demanded a $14.50
weekly boost at that time. How
ever, the newspapers said the
dispute was over the union’s re
fusal to agree to a written con
tract. They claimed this was a
union effort to force closed shop
conditions in violation of the
Taft-Hartley law.
During the court hearings, the
union’s contract proposals were
held to be in violation of the
anti-closed shop provisions of the
law.
Under the proposed contract,
$95.50 for a 36Vi-hour work week;
night shift workers $101 for a
36Vi-hour week and third shift
workers 101 for a 30-hour week.
The strikers would retain pri
ority rights on rehiring. But if
a senior worker refused the job.
the top man on an extra list
would be called.
Will Not Use Vari-Type.
The publishers agree not to use
vari-type—a photoengraving proc
ess that permitted them to con
tinue publication during the
strike. However, they could re
turn to this process in event of a
slowdown or later strike.
The amount of "bogus work”—
printed matter that the union re
quires be reproduced—is curtailed.
All disputes are made subject to
arbitration. Union members are
not required to process any work
"received from or destined ex
clusively for a job or newspaper
shop legally struck or where the
union is locked out.
The contract provides that if
the Taft-Hartley act is repealed,
certain union proposals dealing

with closed shop, handling of

The contract would run to July
15, 1951, with, a clause for re
opening the wages question after
the first year.
Some 400 of the striking print
ers left Chicago during the strike,
but the union expects at least 250
of them to return.
Some newspapers expect three
weeks will be required after the
strike ends to change over from
vari-type methods to Linotype
operations. 4
