HONOLULU. Aug. 16 JV
The Hawaiian governments first
move to unload a thip on the
itrikebound Honolulu waterfront
ran into a threat by member of
two maritime unions Monday to
walk off the vessel.
Atty. Gen. Waller D. Acker
man Jr- and Ben F. Rush, tern
torial harbor commissioner, con
ferred aboard the Matson freight
er Hawaiian Merchant with rep
resentatives of the four seagoing
unions aboard.
Spokesmen for the CIO Marine

The CIO Marine Engineers'
delegate said his union was meet
ing in san Francisco to aeciae
its attitude. The delegate of the
Typos' "No Surrender" Policy
Toward Employer Contracts
Opposed By Convention Unit
OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 16.
(.P) A dissatisfied faction with
in the International Typo
graphical union called today for
convention action to throw out
the ITU's "no surrender" policy
toward employer contracts.
A test vote was assured. The
St. Louis delegation Introduced a
proposed amendment to yank the
collective bargaining formula out
of the ITU's by-laws. Pro-administration
delegates countered with
a measure to extend the union
president's control over con
tracts. Close associates of ITU's six
term president. Woodruff Ran
dolph of Indianapolis, conceded
the opposition little chance to up
set the bargaining pattern set up
in 1947. The 91st annual meeting
of the nation's oldest trade union
is in its third day here.
The policy, has involved the
AFL affiliate in an intense two
'. years of battle, both on the legil
front and the picket lines.
At the heart of it is the ITU's
bitter opposition to the Taft-Hartley
act. The ITU contends the law
has hit it - harder than other
unions because of the printers'
history of closed shop contracts
and close regulation of work. -
The union has been on strike
against Chicago newspaper pub
lishers since Nov. 24, 1948. It has
been the target of 10 manage
ment comp'aints to the National
Labor Relations board. The em-,
plovers accuse the ITU of at
tempting to avoid provisions of
the Taft-Hartley act.
NLft Counsel Assailed
In one case, that filed by the
American Newspaper Publishers
association, NLRB General
Counsel Robert Denham obtained
a federal court Injunction to keep
the union in line with the labor
statue. The same court in Indian-

polls slapped a contempt cita
tion on the ITU.
Henry Kaiser, ITU attorney, in
an address yesterday, spoke of
Denham's action as vicious, un
constitutional attacks" on the
very life of the printer organiza
tion. He said that if Denham suc
ceeded in efforts to invalidate 30
of the union's laws it would turn
over to employers the right to
run the ITU.
The ITU first decided in 1947
that hju-anc nt Taft.Hnrtlev r.
strictions it would be better off I
without formal agreements. When
that didn't work it set about to
put in formal contracts. ITU law
years evolved clauses designed,
in effect, to maintain union Job
control.
Convention delegates who op
pose Randolph on the bargaining
issue say nobody is in disagree
ment on fundamentals in the fight
eeainst the Taft-Hartley statute.
But members differ on methods. !
Randolph Has Rival
Jesse B. Manbeck, for five years
president of the Washington local
and an announced candidate for
ITU president to succeed Ran
dolph, told a reporter his 12.000
mile campaign tour convinced
him the ITU membership wis
"receptive" to a change in leader
ship. The Taft-Hartley act Is on the
books." he said. "What we oueht
to do is protect ourselves as best
we can on our contracts. Instead
of having them dictated from
union headquarters. Let the mem
bers work out contracts to fit in
with their own local conditions."
Randolph, on the other hand,
told delegates, "There is no sur
render" on the disputed points.
If locals were left on their own,
he warned, chaotic bargaining
conditions would result. Seeking
to carry nis program a step
further, the convention commit
tee on laws has drafted an amend
ment banning any local contract
which has not previously been
approved by the international
president.
Besides Manbeck, two other
names have popped up as possible
candidates for Randolph s post, j
They are John Evans of Wash-1
Ington and Claude M. Baker of ,
San Francisco, who headed the 1
ITU In the 1938-43 period.
Convention caucuses probably
will submit prospective slates in
a day or two. The referendum .
election will be held next May 17. i
Canyenvillt Boy Scouts'
investiture Thursday
"Parents night" will be ob
served at the regular meeting
of the Canyonville Boy Scouts in
the Community hall next Thurs
day night. The V. F. W. will
furnish the dinner for the boys
and their parents. The mothers
will serve the meal.
All parents and committeemen
are urged to attend, as the scout
master and the committee would
like to plan the next year's work,
which begins in September.
Following the dinner, a can
dlelight ceremony will
and the boys will be given their
tenderfoot badges. It was orig
inally planned to pass the boys
last Thursday night but only two
were eligible at that time, so it
was decided to wait until parents
were on hand to observe their
sons' Investiture.
A board of review will be held
for the older boys and it will be
necessary for the committeemen
to be there at that time.
AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific
made no comment.
Acktrman said he and Rush
would art to remove the three
man ILWU picket line in front of
the Hawaiian Merchant's pier,
presumably by injunction pro
ceedings. Police squad cars were
stationed nearby.
The 2.000 ILWU stevedores In
Hawaii have been on strike for
108 days, demanding a raise of
32 cents In their $1.40 hourly pav.
In an effort to end the paraly
sis of territorial business, the ter
ritorial government is going into
the stevedore business under s
special law passed Aug. 6. The
ILWU had defied it, calling the
law an attempt to break the
strike.
Ackerman told the seagoing un
ion men that the law provided
stringent penalties for interfer
ence with government operations.
Meanwhile the government was
orepaiing to start Immediate un
loading of the Panamanian ship
Nortuna. A harbor board spokes
man sid no trouble was expect
ed, as the ship has a non-union
crew. It arrived Sunday from
Vancouver, B. C, with a fertilis
er cargo.
Uncle Sam produced more than
11 million bales of cotton. 308
million pounds of wool, and 973

Portland's New Lictns
F Under Court Test
PORTLAND. Aug. 16 UP) A
court test of Portland's new city
license fee program began here
Monday.
Merchants opposed to the pro
gram, designed to raise much
money for the city's coffers, ar
gued that the fees were uncon
stitutional. Attorney Peter A. Schwa he, re
presenting the Portland. Retail
Trade bureau, told Circuit Judge
James W. Crawford the program
should be voided because it ap
pended taxes by use of amend
ments to a license code passed
in 1941 as a regulatory measure.
"This whole thing of tacking
a multi-million dollar tax pro
gram onto a policing ordinance
is a simple case of the 'ail wag
ging the dog. Nowhere has any
thing like this ever been attempt
ed," he said.
Dr. John Gorrie of Apalachi

ed the first ice in this country in
