Challenges Validity Os Taft-Hartley Act * Typographical Union Challenges New Law Baltimore, Oct. in —(UP)— The constitutionality of the TaftHartley act was challenged today by local 12 of the International Typographical union fAFLi which charged that it imposed "involuntary servitude" on union members. The union’s challenge was contained in its answer to the first unfair labor practice complaint ever filed by the national labor relations board against a union. The ITU local said th? new tabor law violated the first and fifth amendments to the constitution. The union also questioned the jurisdiction of the NLRB to administer the law. The ITU local and its parent international union were cited by the NLRB two weeks ago for violating the Taft-Hartley law by refusing to sign a contract. The board’s complaint was issued at the request of the Graphic Arts league representing 22 Baltimore printFOR THAT PARTY Double Kay Nuts HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

ing .shops. The NLRB action was. in effect, an attack on the widely publicized "no contract" policy of the typographers. In his answer to the complaint, union counsel Jacob Edelman said the Taft-Hartley act is unconstitutional because: • 1. It deprives union members of their right to contract freely concerning a closed shop, union security, health and welfare funds, check- ’] off of union dues and "similar sub- , jects of collective bargaining.” 2. It obliges the union to file financial statements and its officers to sign non-Communists att fidavits as a condition of using NLRB facilities, but imposes no equivalent obligation on the Graphic Arte league. 3. It conditions rights of persons “upon the belief of others over which these persons have no control and (conditions) federal rights and access to governmental agencies upon an arbitrary and discriminatory classification based upon political belief.” 4. It imposes “involuntary servitude” on union members by denying them the right to .seek work or refuse to sell their labor “upon such terms and conditions as they deem fair and reasonable.” “Provisions of the act," the union brief said, “are mutually interdependent and not .segregable, and the provisions cited are so intergral a part of the statutory scheme that their unconstitutionality makes the entire act impossible of enforcement.”

Taft To Decide Soon On Candidacy To Study Prospects With Top Advisers Chicago, Oct. 10 —(UP) —Sen. Robert A. Taft. R., 0., headed for home today and some private political talks before announcing whether he will be a candidate for the 1948 Republican presidential nomination. Few political observers doubted that his answer would be "yes.” Taft planned to spend some time in his home state after the speaking tour that has kept him going almost continuously for five weeks. That phase of his campaign ended last night in suburban Winnetka, where he put the national administration on notice that the Marshall plan will be given rough treatment by congress “unless it is reasonable and confined to certain definite purposes.” In Ohio next week. Taft will canvass his prospects with Rep. Clarence J. Brown. Ohio Republican chairman Fred Johnson and Dewitt Sage and William McAdams, two of his 'Washington advisers. He expects to announce his decision about Oct. 24 in a letter telling the Ohio Republican committee whether he consents to let his name be used on the ballot for Ohio delegates to the Republican convention. Taft had the biggest audience of his five-week speaking tour last night at a meeting sponsored by North Shore Republican groups. I Some persons were turned away 1 after the Winnetka high school ■ gymnasium was filled to its 3,500 1 capacity. Talking principally on foreign policy, he endorsed the Marshall I plan principle of giving economic aid to help European countries return to a self-support basis. But > he showed alarm over the size of ’ the bill for the program proposed 1 by the recent Paris conference of European nations. 0 Princeton Man Dies In Headon Collision - Terre Haute, Ind..

Anderson added that he and Luckman were cooperating fully. He said Luckman telephoned him in Chicago- early yesterday to discuss the secretary's conference with distillers' representatives. Thje amount of grain saved, he said he told Luckman. would depend on how much could be diverted from livestock and poultry feed. Other food developments: 1. The United States brewers foundation met in Chicago to discuss what the nation’s beer manufacturers can do to help in the food drive. They report to Luckman on the results of their meet ing next Tuesday. The beer makers are not being asked to shut down completely as were the distillers because they have no large reserves. 2. The agriculture department reported that grata shipments during September totalled 1.335,000 long t0n5—50.812.054 bushels. This was 350,000 tons less than was shipped in August.

The bureau of labor statistics reported that average wholesale prices rose 0.6 percent iast week, chiefly because of higher grain, livestock, poultry and produce prices. The index on Oct. 4 was 25.6 percent higher than a year ago. 4. Rep. George H. Bender. R..
