Roseburg Typographical union No. 785 has flooded the
City of Roseburg with a folder entitled "The Inside Story
of the Newspaper Strike." If it contains an "inside" story,
the story must have been inside the ITU for certainly the
facts as represented are not as they are known to the man
agement of The News-Review.
Because contractual negotiations were conducted ex
clusively by Mr. Edwin L. Knapp, business manager of The
Ncw-Rcvicw, we requested that he prepare in his own words
the true facts of the "nine months" of "negotiations."
Following is Mr. Knapp's statement :
In a folder circulated by Roseburg Typographical
union there are statements that are entirely untrue.
Until the composing room crew walked off the job the
night of last June 26, all negotiations and consultations
were solely with me, as business manager and representa
tive of The News-Review company.
These are the true facts as known to me:
The last written contract we had with the ITU expired
Nov. 1, 1947. At the time of contract expiration, I was in
formed that the ITU could not sign a new contract because
of the ban against a closed shop provided in the Taft-Hartley
Act. I verbally agreed that we would follow the terms
of the old contract, subject, of course, to the laws of the
land.
Ve operated in this way without controversy and with
most pleasant relations until the walkout on June 26.
The union's folder states that the agreement expired
Nov. 1, 1949.
How did it expire?
Management of The News-Review was never notified
that the union wished to annul it. We still were following
its terms when the crew walked off the job.
In fact, we were so strictly adhering to the terms of
the agreement, which we believed to be still in effect, that
we acceded to the contention of the printers that they were
entitled to two weeks vacation pay even though they were
leaving their jobs. Had the agreement expired Nov. 1, 1949,
as now is claimed by the union, we would have felt no obli
gation to pay out $1,754.19 in the form of vacation pay to
men on strike as provided by the old contract
Contract Refused To News-Review
In November 1949, the union's scale committee met
with me and asked for a raise in pay, but did not suggest
any amount. The matter of a contract was mentioned, but
it was not discussed at all. No mention was made of tele
typesetters. ,
Some weeks later an ITU representative arrived and
I met with him andthe scale committee. He informed me
that we would have to sign a contract giving the union juris
diction over teletypesetters, but he said that ITU would NOT
approve a contract with either Roseburg or Klamath Falls
SINGLY.
For almost six of the nine months mentioned by the
union no discussions or negotiations were conducted with me.
Then early in June, the local committee came to me and said
they were tired of waiting for a settlement at Klamath and
asked if I would negotiate with them, this being the first
offer to negotiate with The News-Review alone. At this
meeting I agreed to pay an additional 10 cents an hour, a
base of $2.25 per hour, but I told them I would not sign a
contract giving jurisdiction over teletypesetters. I agreed,
however, that we would discontinue use of the teletype
setters and would not put them back In use anytime in the
near future unless we couldn't get manual operators and
needed the machines for emergency use.
Local Union Satisfied
The local union had a meeting that night and the next
morning one of the local committee told me that this proposnl
was agreeable to the majority, but it was subject to ITU
approval.
On June 20, I mot with the local committee and two
ITU representatives. I agreed that we would put the tele
typesetters away and lock them up until we disposed of
them; that it was our intention not to use them during the
life of a contract. I informed the union that I would not
sign any written agreement to that effect without conferring
with our president.
Early the next morning the ITU representatives left for
Klamath Falls and nothing further was said to me about
this matter until ITU members of our composing room
pulled their cards at 8 p. m., June 26.
The ITU's folder says that on June 27 we offered a
proposal to remove the teletypesetters and give CO davs
notice before restoring them to use.
The matter of 60-days notification was never mentioned
in any of our talks. This suggestion was presented bv a mem
ber of the Roseburg Central Labor council (AFL) which
endeavored to bring about a settlement of the dispute through
compromise. We put our acceptance in writing in a letter
to Mr Frank Ashley, president of the Labor council, but the
ITU flatly refused the compromise offer.
The News-Review waited until July 19, while further
efforts were made by the Central Labor council to procure
a settlement. Then, with no prospect of settlement in sight, it
became necessary for us to get members of our advertising
nnd news departments out of the mechanical department,
where they had been doing the work of the striking print
ers. We set July 24 as a final date for return to work, and
I personally addressed a registered letter to each striking
employee, giving him the opportunity to return to his job
if he so desired. None responded, making it necessary for
us to undertake the organization of a non-union composing
room crew and to refuse further negotiations with the ITU.

"Herbs," said the grower there
of, smiling as she named the herbs
which she had included in a big
bouquet of old-fashioned garden
flowers. "There's basil, and sum
mer savoury ..."
1 didn't have the heart to tell
her that except for sage I could
enjoy herbs only with my nose!
Long ago I gave up or did 1?
trying to have 'something differ
ent as promised in magazine
spreads of luscious food dishes.
There was the time my Danish
neighbor started me on rosemary.
She gave me dried leaves and
fresh, and a -plant as well. How 1
treasured that plant; 1 can smell
it now although it is four years
since I saw it, "It's so good in
meatlnaf," she said, across the
back-fence, "Wait a minute . . .
There, try this!" I ate the sample
and resolved, come what might,
I'd have rosemary flavored meat
loaf. I'd use it cautiously, oh so
cautiously, and then later on
"line the bottom of the pan with
the leaves" after I had gradually
increased the use of it.
But what happened? As usual
I had baked the meatloaf in a
tube pan. Somehow or other I had
fallen into the habit of baking it
thus, then turning it out on a
large glass pie-dish, then rimming
it around the edge with peas.
Pretty! Mashed potatoes in little
piles, (or in another circle if a
platter was used,) wilh a tiny
sprig of parsley on each. And a
small maraschino cherry jar in
the center in which larger sprays
of parsley were put.
To be sure I was accustomed
to seeing the parsley treated as
if it were deadly nightshade or
something . . . but I despaired
sure enough when the first bite
of meatloaf brought a questioning
look at me, over the second bite
which was now being regarded as
potential ptomaine material.
"This meatloaf tastes queer,"
said the man who will tackle any
thing under the sun in a restau
rant, and tell a hostess without
balling an eye that her "piece de
resistance is the best he ever
tasted, and won't she -give his
wife her recipe? And dare said
wife lo ever 'do that' at home!'
:: What's in it?"
I explained about the little hint
of rosemary. "What beats me,"
said the head of the house, " is why
women can't let well enough
alone. What's the matter with the
meatloaf we've been having?"
I mentioned the 'something dif
ferent' objective in cookery, and
that I personally thought the meat
loaf was delicious. Well, there was
plenty for me if my appetite lor
it hadn't been ruined by its re
ception! Three hungry males
'filled up' on mashed potatoes,
gravy and whatever.
Which is why I never have tried
soup with peanut butter in it . . .
and many another recipe guar
anteed to be 'something different' I

on our hands and an unimaginably
vast and vital war possibly in the
offing, votes to renig o recent
postoffice economies and restore
mail service in the cities and
towns lo two deliveries a day!!!!!
Why is that bad?
Here is why:
The congress of the United
Slates (the senate is expeclrd to
go right along with the house in
this tickv little postal delivery bus
iness) THINKS THE PEOPLE OK
THE UNITED STATES WOULD
RATHER HAVE TWO POSTAL
DELIVERIES A DAY THAN TO
HAVE THE TIME AND ENERGY
SPENT IN PREPARING OUR
COUNTRY TO DEFEND OUR
LIBERTIES AND OUR LIVES
AGAINST A GRIM AND POWER
FUL ENEMY.
You and I, of course, Vnow bet
ter. What do we care, in a pinch,
whether t h e mailman comes
around twice a day with his cus
tomary load of ads and blurbs and
bills or only once a day? If we
want our mail oftener, we can go
down to Ihe postoffice for it, just
like grampa and gramma used to.
It wouldn't hurt us a bit, and we
know it.
But we do know that failure to
muster our resources fully in the
struggle that may be facing us I
could mean the end of our way of '
life. .
The trouble is that in the
strange, wicrd, lotus-eating dream
world that is Washington our mem
bers of congress and our adminis
trative officials and employees lose
all effective touch with the think
ing of the people back home.
To them, Washington becomes
the center of EVERYTHING IN
THE WORLD. They come to look
upon elections as the beginning and
the end of all human affairs. If
they lose their Jobs at an election,
that, so far as thev are concerned,
is the END OK THE WORLD.
In their desperate need to he re
elected (which in fheir minds is
the first essential of everything)
they are willing to try anything
that might result in bringing in
enough voles to assure them of
keeping their jobs even down to
such absurdities as borrowing
money (we're running in the hole
all the time, you know) to con
tinue two postal deliveries a day
at a time when we ought to be
using every dollar of our income
and every ounce of our strength
in preparing to meet an enemy
that we must defeat it our way
of life is to continue.
I don't think we need to worry
about the stamina of our fighting
men. That is being demonstrated
every day in Korea. But if we
can t get a HIGHER QUALITY OF
LEADERSHIP than is being dem
onstrated these days in the monkey
cage that we call the city of Wash
ington we re in a Dad way.
Church Of England
Issues Rejection
Of New Doctrine
LONDON (P) The heads
of the Church of England sharply
rejected today a newly announced
Roman Calholic doctrine that the
Virgin Mary went to heaven bod
ily as well as spiritually.
"There is not the smallest evi
dence in the scriptures or in the
teaching of the early church of
belief in the doctrine of her bodily
assumption," said a formal state
ment. , The statement was issued from
Lambeth palace, official quarters
of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
It was signed by Dr. Geoffrey
Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury,
and Dr. Cyril F. Garbett, Arch
bishop of York.
Their statement said that ac
cording to an announcement from
Rome last Monday, the Pope in
tends to proclaim the new doctrine
as an article of failh on Nov. 1.
"We profoundly regret that the
Roman Catholic church has chosen
by this act to increase dogmatic
differences in Christendom and
has thereby gravely injured the
growth of understanding between
Christians based on a common
possession of the fundamental
truths of the gospel," the arch
bishop said.
This strong statement indicated
a further setback to postwar ef
forts to reach a communion be
tween the Anglican and Roman
Catholic churches.
Proclamation of the doctrine as
a new article of faith "will mean.
that the Roman Catholic church j
now regards this doctrine as a
necessary part of the Christian
revelation and will henceforth re
quire all its members to believe
it to be true," said the Anglican
statement.
"We must at once state pub
licly that the Church of England
does not and cannot hold this doc
trine to be a necessary part of
the Catholic faith, belief in which
may be required of members of
the church. . . .The church of
England refuses to regard as re
quisite for a saving faith any doc
trines or opinions which are not
plainly contained in the scriptures."

HOSPITAL STILL PICKETED
PORTLAND .P-AFL team
sters planned only sidewalk de
liveries at Emanuel hospital today.
Non professional workers are pick

building service employes, said
only oil, medicines and surgical
supplies would move through the

management had refused to negotiate.
California Doesn't Need
Northwest Water, Claim
WASHINGTON LP) Rep.
Paulson ( R-Calif) says C a 1 1 f o r
nia doesn't need or want water
from the Columbia or any other
river of the northwest.
He said in a statement an inter
ior department proposal to send
some of the mighty Columbia's
water hundreds of miles southward
to California "assertedly has the in
terest of President Truman."
The Californian accused the de
partment of bringing forward the
plan "in a desperate attempt lo
aid Ihe fantasic Arizonia project,
which would take an enormous
share of California's Colorado riv
er water."
"Tt is a npfnriniic crhAm0 '
charged, "to rob California of Col
orado river water by diverting at
tention to tne Columbia river di
version proposal . . ."
The deparment never has said
just how the water would make the
long journey from the Columbia to
California.
