Printers Outline Measures to Fight Taft-Hartley Law
Typographical yey to Act on Randolph
Plan in Effort to Bypass New Labor Statute
By FRED W. PERKINS, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer CLEVELAND, Aug. 18.—~The most vital parts of the Taft-Hirtley
law oecome effective Friday and by
pass «t will have been worked out here by a venerable and tightly’ knit
craft Jinn looks like a certainty as the 95-year-old International Typo-
graphical Union begins its business The plan of defiance of the new —— fabor law is sponsored by the union president. Woodruff Randolph, who. calls the act “damnable.” He blames it mostly on the National Association of Manufacturers. Mr. Randolph, formerly a printer in Chicago, now lives in Indianapolis which is headquarters for this union of about 90,000 members, There are bigger unions but none more powerful in its field. He is a middle-aged man -of mild appearance which contrasts with his proved ability to put up a stiff
fight. Challenge Congress There is opposition to Mr. Randolph in the Typographical union, as in most others. One group would like to unseat “the royal family,” as the union president and his executive board are called. But the insurgents do| not appear strong enough to make more than a gesture against the Randolph plan—whiclr essentially is to insist that employers must follow the Jaws of the union rather | than a law enacted by congress. Members of the Typographical union, Mr. Randolph says, - “will demonstrate, either individually or collectively, that . they ¢an. think faster than the legislators in congress. “If we choose, as free Americans, | even under the. Taft-Hartley law, not to make collective bargaining | agreements with employers, we have that legal right. If we don’t make them we are free to do lot of things that we are not free to do if we, make them.” Closed Shop Is ‘Bible’ The “closed shop,” which the Taft-Hartley law makes illegal, is
* the bible of thi union's chapels
or local unions, and has been for many years, As the convéntion goes on, details of the Randolph plan are expected to show that the union can “outsit” the employers inssnegotiations; that the union will not agree to any contract because that would make the union subject to some form of regulation under the law; and that in due time the employers will be presented with a set of the union laws, with a threat of strikes
. if they reject them.
Gets Close Attention Elemental in the “laws” is a provision that a union printer will not work with a non-union man, or on non-union products. There would go the Taft-Hartley ban on the closed shop aimed at giving any worker a chance at a job whether or not he carried a union card. The federal law further provides, however, that if most of the workers wantgit and the employer is agreeable, there can be a "union shop,” in which every person hired must become a union member after & short time. Authorities concede that if the Randolph plan is successful it could make the Taft-Hartley law a dead duck in any industrial field where the union could put it .into operation. Therefore a lot of labor, industrial and official attention will be directed toward this convention.

A 17-year-old girl today told police she was attacked as she re-
turned home from a date shortly
after midnight, The girl said she was grabbed as she walked around to the rear of her East side home after finding the front door locked. She said her escort left her at her
front porch.shortly after midnight. |
After she found the front door
{locked, she said, she went around | [to the rear. As she reached the rear door she! said a man grabbed her and attacked her. Police said the girl fainted and could give no description of her assailant. She was taken to City hospital. Police Hold Two A 42-year-old man was arrested on a vagrancy charge for questioning after a 13-year-old girl reported he attacked her while driving her {home from work.

Republicans Mum On Police Issue
Republican politicians today were giving’ the silent. treatment to charges of “political ineptitude” in administration handling of gambling and liquor law enforcement. Sources close to Governor Gates said “no harm can come of charging state police and excise police with enforcing ‘the law.” The charges came from within the state Republican committee and were said to be based on theory that “too much” enforcement in some parts of the state was jeopardizing G. O. P. mayoralty candidates in several cities. The goyernor, himself, studiously avoided comment on the reports which had reached such a stage that some quarters were predicting state Chairman Clark Springer might lose his job over the affair. Charge Police Snooping Principal source of the .complaint was Ivan Morgan, Austin industrialist and ninth district chairman. He charged excise police “snooping” was hurting business in taverns. He also held more state police should be used on highway patrol instead of continuing slot machine raids. There also was reported to be “heat” on charges that “too many Democrats” were being promoted on the state police force. = Records, however, indicate there is an approximately even split between Democrats and Republicans at all grade levels, a division which is required by law. Police sources pointed out the gambling raids are made “at the request of local authorities” and {not as state police policy.
Man Fined and Jailed ‘For Molesting Girl

By ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 18 (U. P. a brunet were sought=today to help solve the murder of a lonely seamstress whose beaten and stabbed body was found with her rhymed marriage proposal to an unknown man
A witness told police she saw the two women in-Miss Leda Duty’'s tie dress shop Friday night before the 57-year-old spinster -was stabbed with her own shears and beaten with a table-top- hat stand. An inquest was to be held today. Police belived the doggerel poem found on Miss Duty's sewing machine may have been intended for 8 57-year-old man who told them
“My dear and most respectful sir: “I send you this your love to stir. “Tis you I've chosen first of all “On whom to make this Leap Year call. “And if you think I'm dandy, “Then send to me a box of candy. “But if for me there # no hope, “Then send to me six feet of rope. “With all sorts of love “From one who wishes to be your Mrs.” The man told police he had not seen Miss Duty since a month ago when they discussed a sniall bill she owed him. He was to be given a lie detector test today. Police, said Miss Duty was several thousand dol-
AUTHORITIES DECIDED that the crime was hy motivated by sex or robbery. A cardboard box containing $56 and a check, and her purse, containing $10, were found in the shop. Police Lt. Roy Steffens began searching for the two women after another woman witness told him she had been in the shop Friday night,
The witness said the red-haired woman insisted on having a dress she nad bought altered immediately. The brunet apparently was with],
