FAINS OF UNION PRINTERS
FILL SOUL OF "OPEN SHOP"
- ADVOCATE WITH BITTER WOE
By Staff Correspondent International
Labor .News Service. .
Chicago, Jan. 31. R. J. Tufts, secre
tary of the Open Shop Employing
Printers' Association, of Chicago, ap
parently has become greatly alarmed
over the results being achieved from
the organizing drive that has been
carried on by all of the local unions in
the printing industry here during the
last several weeks. Mr. Tufts has been
sending out frantic appeals to non
union employers imploring them to get
busy and head off the "menace" of the
union shop. '
Mr. Tufts agitated over the increas
ing use of the union label on printed
matter, which has been cultivated by
a hard and systematic label campaign
carried on by the printing trades
unions. Mr. Tufts had the following
to say on the subject in a confidential
circular letter mailed to, non-union em
ploying printers :
Shocked to See Label Everywhere
"While riding on thevelevated rail
road I noticed that their own adver
tisement, selling their bonds, very
prominently displays the union label.
I also heard that the letter head of the

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS
American Red Cross appealing for
funds carried the label; also that a
downtown bank had the label on all
pay roll checks. I will appreciate
it if you as well as the members of
your family will forward to us printing
that bears the label from firms that are
appealing to the general public for their
business. I believe we can create
a good impression with the buyer if
this matter is presented to him in the
right way."
Mr. Tufts also warns the non-union
employers to be careful to watch
whom they employ at this time and
to guard the blacklist. He says:
"Everyone should be extremely care
ful at this time about hiring new men.
Make sure of their records. While
you are doing this, don't forget to keep
track of your present employes tne
unions are very active. Keep strangers
out of your plant unless they are
cleared with permission from this office.
Take all practical precautions. 'An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure.' "
The above excerpts are taken from
confidential circular letters which have
fallen into the hands of E. A. Patzke,
president of Chicago Typographical
Union No. 16.
Fake "Open Shop" Directory Issued
"Secretary Tufts t has published an
alleged open shop directory, purporting
to list the open shop printers and
allied trades," said President Patzke to
International Labor News Service.
"Tufts' 'directory' lis the worst kind of
a fake. We have gone carefully over
this 'directory' and have found over
100 union composing rooms listed as
being manned by rats, and there are
about 40 union pressrooms declared to
be scab. Union binderies and union
electrotyping plants also are listed in
this rat directory.
"When we directed hte attention of
union employers to this fake listing in
Tufts' fake .rat directory they became
indignant, declared that they were un
aware of even the existence of such a
directory and took immediate steps to
compel Tufts to discontinue the use of
their firm names in this misleading
and untruthful manner.
Listing Padded, Patzke Charges
"If Tufts can point to exceed three
emploiyng printers in his organization
who employ as many as 25 men in
their composing rooms, I'll eat one of
his directories," continued President
Patzke. "The listing looks formidable,
but it is outrageously padded. There
are scores of them which are only bed
room or cellar print shops, which the
owner operates unaided by other help
at night or on Sundays and holidays
when not engaged at his regular em
ployment. "Forty printing offices have, been
unionized since the beginning of the
organizing campaign, and there are
many more prospects in sight."

share the view of the National Indus
trial Council that the Republican vic
tories mean that reaction is to reign.
In Congress the heartening of the re
actionaries is heralded by the passage
in the Senate of the Underwood
Muscle Shoals bill, opposed by the
Senate rogressives, and the uphold
ing of President Coolidge's veto of the
bill raising the pay of postal workers.
Little in the way of progressive leg
islation has been proposed in the
House and there appears small chance
that anything of practical value to the
farmers and industrial workers will be
done at this session. The Howell-
Barkley railroad labor bill will not be
pushed and apparently there is a good
chance that other progressive bills
will be blocked.
Reports from state legislatures tell
of the sam ereactionary, "stand-pat"
policy. The reactionaries are concen
trating their fight against the hilCd
Labor Amendment and are resorting
to a campaign of mendacity almost
without parallel in this country to de
feat the 'measure.
Labor men who know that "Rome
was not built in a day" are not at all
discouraged over the outlook. They
realize that to enact progressive leg
islation entails educational campaigns
lasting years and that the foundation
for progress must be laid by" the hard
est kind of work. They point out that
the people are getting precisely what
they voted for but express confidence
that the reactionary wave has spent its
force and that progressive principles
are once more on the ascendent. It
is only a question of time, they say,
when the people will have enough of
standing still and will demand that
government once more move forward
in harmony with the trend of the
i times.
