Stanton In Tuesday's edition of The News-Review we presented in this column the first installment of a report by George Cornell, Associated Press reporter, summarizing labor dis putes between the International Typographical union and the printing industry. This report, written by a disinterested author, details some of the factors involved in the strike of News-Reviw composing room workers, In Tuesday's installment, the writer told how the ITU attempted to battle the Taft-Hartley law by stubborn de mand that the industry sign closed shop contracts in viola tion of law. He reported that the ITU is striving to keep out of court a National Labor Relations board finding of unfair practice and demand for compliance. To avoid getting the compliance order before the court (NLRB findings have no legal status until court action is taken) the ITU is asking acceptance of a voluntary compliance offer. (The writer failed to state that a second accusation has been placed before the NLRB, again charging illegal labor practice in demands for jurisdiction over teletypesetter pro cesses and coercion of unions.) Cornell pointed out that the ITU has been slow to accept now processes and is attacking the teletypesetter process in particular. Struck Newspapers Listed Ha listed as newspapers against which strikes have been launched this year, because of the teletypesetter pro cess, the Marietta, Ohio, Daily Times; the Texarkana, Ark., News and Gazette; the Eldorado, Ark., Times and News; the Hot Springs, Ark., New Era and Sentinel Record; the Klamath Falls, Ore., Herald und News; the Roscburg, Ore., News-Review and the Oak Ridge, Tenn., Oak Ridper. Contracts granting jurisdiction over teletypesetter pro cesses have been signed in 45 larger cities, the writer said, but only SEVEN of the 45 cities use teletypesetter equip ment. , (The writer did not mention the fact, but it might be pertinent to add that the jurisdictional clause granted in the 45 cities applies only for the life of the contract, usually one year. Thus the affected newspapers are in a position to reopen the issue when a new contract is negotiated. Few large cities have adopted teletypesctters in any large number to date, because they have been waiting for new and faster linecasting machines particularly designed for teletype setter use. These machines recently were placed on the market and we are informed that metropolitan papers have contracted full capacity of manufacturing plants for several years to come. One Chicago newspaper has 40 such ma chines on order, according to reports we have received.) Mr. Cornell further amplifies the situation today as follows : BY GEORGH CORNELL (The Associated Press) NEW YORK In about 40 cities where publisher! have tele typesetter operations, the union has not been granted jurisdiction. Most of (he papers arc operating without contracts, or are being struck. In a number o current strikes, some dating back as far as five years, other issues, such as wages and working conditions are in volved. But the teletypesetter question, along with carry-over discord from the Taft-Hartley battle, also are factors in some cases. struck papers, all pud- the AN PA notes. It says that 80 percent of the 1950 pacts have oiven nrintcrs increases of $2 to $3, while in 1949, 63 percent of the agreements provided increases ol is or more. The ITU reports that the cur rent average weekly scale for newspaper printers is $84.15 for clay work and $93.49 for night work, compared lo 1949 average scales of $81.72 for day work and $91.43 for night work. Scales gen erally are higher in the larger cities. Regarding work hours, ITU claims that 402 of its locals now have work weeks of less than 40 hours Cuts Manpower Needs uut icletypesetting is some thing elso. One of the main things about it that worries the ITU is that the perforating units through a teletype wire hookup can supply iinoiype-operating tape to a whole chain of newspapers in one operation, thus cutting manpower needs. Probably the most commehen sive solution to the telelvncsctler problem is contained in t lie con tract signed last July between the uu ana Washington, u. c, newspapers. This pact gives the union juris diction over the telctypesetters the right to man and maintain them but it also sets up a labor management "joint experimental committee" to study procedures for use of the machines, proper manning, standards of compet ency, training of operators, wages and kindred matters. It also calls for research into the economic soundness of replacing triwcnt printing methods. C MBmiilInV ffffi pffgg, ,. ....

Some of the strikes hinge o n wages. Generally, ITU locals this yejr have settled for smaller wage boosts than in recent years, : ; . . k r r - STORED LUMBER which can't be shipped because of shortage of railroad cars is piled in yards of Roieburg Lumber company mill.

The mill operates two shifts, but may have to cut down to one shift if shortage keeps up, officials said. I (Paul Jenkins photo) By Viahne.tt S. Martin In The Day's News .By FRANK JENKINS. We were settling world affairs over a soda in our usual rendez vous. As usual I had my "column lo write." My friend, who enjoys lending a hand, suggested giving someone an idea for making a living by shelling black walnuts. Maybe I looked doubious. At any rate she said emphatically; "A person could make a good liv ing working eight hours a day. There are worlds of black walnut trees around, only most people don't know the nuts can be convienf ly shelled." My friend (who edits church and school news, and the country news, when she isn't keep ing house or riding her pet saddle horse, Mars, or shelling walnuts) nodded vigorously. "You have to the information. I'll pass it on to him. Someone told J about such a material one time but we can't recall who it was, nor what the stud was called. Maybe you kno-r.

I M Harder Raps For Liquor Low Violators Advised PORTLAND WP Equalized economic penalties were sug gested to the state liquor control commission yesterday for Knox law violations. Chairman Carl W. Hogg, Salem, said economic differences between various establishments should be considered. He explained a five day suspension of a license where five persons were employed was more severe than a similar pen alty on a small tavern. Hogg suggested the commission study ways of varing the penal ties in ratio to uie sue of the club, tavern or package licensee. A second liquor store for Eu gene was approved. It will be lo cated near the big Y market on highway t on the north edge of that city. Stores supervisor F. E. Bprton said the Eugene area's one store had not been adequately serving the spproximately 40,000 people of the area.

Tracks' Over-Cutting Of Timber Worries U. S. Forester PORTLAND (PI The chief federal forester thinks timber :ur veys should he speeded up so the harvest areas would be mapped for any emergency. Lyle F. Watts, Washington, D. C, said continued military calls for reservists may cripple the forest service. He explained about 60 to 70 percent of the foresters are reservists. Here for a tour of the region's national forests, Watts said h c also will press for congressionl action on timber acess road bills. These would open up over-age timber for cutting. Watts was discouraged over the rate of cut. "We are over-cutting now. If war comes, we will be dangerously over-cutting. H o w ever, when we get into a war we have to do it whatever it takes to win It." FORT COLLINS, Colo.
