Stanton The International Typographical union, which hat forced a strike against Tha Newt-Review, hat been charged before the National Labor Relations board with unfair labor practice. The accusation is the second to be filed against the ITU. ' The NLRB found the ITU guilty of unfair charges alleged . in a prior complaint and has instruced its general counsel, Rob' art N. Denham, to file court proceedings against the ITU. Specifically involved in this later charge filed by the American Newspaper Publishers association is the issue of control over teletypsetter processes. This is the issue on which News-Review composing room workers were ordered on strike . by the ITU. Three Locals, having the intestinal fortitude to defy ITU orders to strike, have had their charters revoked. They are the Locals, at Mansfield, Ohio; Fort Smith, Ark., and Hot Springs, Ark. .In the dispute with The News-Review, the ITU has been demanding control over the teletypsetter process, which, if granted, would force teletypsetter operators to become ITU members or be replaced by union workers without their first i. having the opportunity, guaranteed them by federal law, to . elect their own bargaining representative. , The News-Review has contended that it would be illegal for ; management to sign away rights protected by law. The News Review also contends that the teletypsetter punching operation is not a part of composing room process; that operators are ' typists not printers; that processes are matters of management . policy and not for union control. the new' charges, filed with the NLRB offers opportunity for speculation on an interesting question: Should it be found that the ITU is engaged in untair labor practices and illegal acts, what would be the liability status of the ITU and those agencies and individuals aiding and abetting in an illegal act, thereby causing deliberate and malicious damage to a corpora tion? . . The ITU already has been found guilty of unfair labor practice, following the filing of charges by the Chicago News paper Publishers association, the ANPA, and the Baltimore Graphic Arts league.- The NLRB has directed filing of a court action seeking an' enforcement order. ' - Like the squirming of an angleworm, as it feels the barb of a fishhook, the ITU is struggling to keep the case from getting into court. It has made offers of formal compliance and is de manding hearings and investigation as a means of delaying : action and avoiding court discipline. NLRB orders are not self-enforceable but may be tup ported by court orders and contempt action.' The ITU doesn't want to face the courts, which have power to tie up union funds, toss officers into jail and levy heavy fines. But even while ' it tries to convince the NLRB of compliance, it, is endeavoring to secure by indirection tha illegal hold it desires over the in dustry; just as a "meanie" wrestler, after being warned not : to repeat his foul tactics, keeps pulling hair when the referee turns hit back. Cotrcion of Locals Charged In the new complaint the ITU is charged with coercing its Locals into carrying out mandates of its executive council. Cood evidence, it would seem, is at hand in the experiences of the local unions who have had their charters revoked. : - Throughout its battle to cram an unfair and illegal juris diction clause down the. throats of newspaper publishers, the ITU has been guilty of false and misleading statements and in formation. A good example of the use of misinformation is found in a ' broadcast made Friday over Radio Station KRNR by the local - ITU spokesman, who declared "It is also a fact that Frank Jenkins is the only publisher in this fine state of Oregon who hat thrown the ' union printer! into the street and refuses to negotiate a contract for this so-called new process. Mr. Jenkins has thrown no one into the street. The union, lacking the courage to defy the ITU executive council's edict, meekly went out on strike, after expressing satisfaction with the wage and hours negotiations conducted with the management of The News-Review. Insofar as we have been able to learn, the ITU does not have a current, written, signed contract with ANY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE STATE OF OREON. We know of no contract written with any daily newspaper in "this fine i state of Oiegon" since the Taft-Hartley act banned the closed shop. Relationship between labor and management has rested on verbal discussions which the ITU even declined to classify as agreements; as was the case in the office of The News-Review prior to June 26. '...v . Why should The News-Review and Klamath Falls Herald and News be singled out for contract demands? Is it because we have always had friendly relations with employes and the ITU figured, because it has had so little difficulty In the past getting what it wanted, that we would be easy marks?- U it be cause we have been too active in adopting modern processes and trying to improve our service, so that we needed to be "put in our places?" to quote ITU President Woodruff Randolph. Is it because the News-Review has invested so heavily in new machinery and equipment that the ITU thought we were not in an economic position to fight a strike? You explain it. We can't.

Seeing a box of animal crackers in a tiny tot's hands today reminded me of some of the things 1 used to do with them to please two small boys. Of course every mother "par ades" the animal; around a cake in one way or another, or stands them on dabs of frosting on pieces of graham crackers. Two yoked together hitched to a tinv cart snipped out of paper, loaded with a lew prignt red candies or marshmallow, makes a hit. We had cake-and-candles at the slightest excuse, even for the dog's anniversaries. Although I prefer pastel colors, wc sometimes had vivid red, white and blue oh. what do they call the tiny pin point frosting colors? I kept for many years a beauti ful smilax hanging basket which supplies a wreath for cake around the plate edge, sometimes lust laid on the table around the plate. II the cake was made in lube pan, and it usually was, the center was either filled with marshmallows, bright gumdrops, or something, and quite often the hole frosted right over after being covered with a bit of stiff notepaper. If the "hole" was left unfilled, I dropped in a small bottle such as maraschino cherries come in, just a little wa ter, and then put in a few flowers to match whatever colors were on the cake. Needless to say the bovs preferred edible filling in the "hole." Alphabet noodles cooked two or three minutes in sweetened water, or in colored juice left over from fruit, and dnef somewhat on paper, were then dropped on the cake frosting to spell out gay greet ings and messages. Since boys arc not critical, merely appreciative, 1 squeezed out names and letter ing with a cake froster too, but never very expertly. During vacation the boys tucked away an amazing lot of raw, peel ed turnips and carrots left casually near the faucet, along with fruit and cookies. Alphabet noodles in jello made a hit. Cook in liquid carrots have been boiled in, and make jello with that liquid. (I sun pose now that he knows this E. J. will quit eating jello too.) ESTATE IN PROBATE County Judge D. N.

The 30 foot falls, located below the town of Valsetz, blocks salmon and steel head migrations to the upper reaches of this coastal stream. The completed fishway will open up manv miles of spawning ground its Siletz hatchery. Summer-r un steelhead are known to gang-up under Valsetz falls in large numbers, a lew passing over in periods of extreme high water. The Fish commission has announced plans to stock the area above the falls with fall Chinook and silver salmon from its Siletz hatcher. Upon completion of the excava tion work, a permanent concrete fish ladder will be poured. The fishway will be completed in two to three months.

Here's the best news we'rve had from Korea yet: ALL OF A Sl'DDKV WE SEEM TO BE Bl'STINC, COMMIE TANKS LIKE SHOOTING FISH. Here's how it happened: The bazookas we were using (most of them left over from- the last war) weren't good enough. So out there on the front lines, where the shooting was going on we figured out the kind of bazooka that WOULD DO THE JOB. We radioed the specification for the new baiooka back home and our factories turned a lot of them out QUICKLY and they were flown bark over to the fighting lines in Korea and yesterday or the day before or somewhere along there they went into action and they seem to be busting Communist tanks rather satisfactorily. It's teamwork like that that wins wars. We learned that trick from the krauts in the last war. All through the first end of the last war. the Germans were smarter than we were. With all their armies in the field, thev had factory techinical experts. These technical experts watched the German military equipment IN ACTION When some thing was wrong with it, they fig ured out what was wrong and then figured out how to cure it. As soon as that was done, they telephoned the word back to the German factories and the German factories fixed what was wrong QUICK and got the new fighting equipment bark to the fighting front with as little loss of time as possible. As long as we can learn new tricks from our enemies and apnlv them to our own problems AND DO IT QUICK, we'll be all right. II .. .
