PRINTERS
FOR
AMPLE
CITY'S NEED,
ION
Declaring there to be an adequate
supply of Journeymen printers in the
city to meet the needs of the- prlnt-
; Ing trades, and asserting" it to be the
1 duty of the employer to instruct ap
prentices with private funds, Mult
nomah Typographical Union No. 68,
hasjfljed a petition with the school
, board which takes Issue in part with
the petition urging the establishment
-of a department of printing at the
- Benson Polytechnic j school which
waa presented to the board a week
ago !by the Portland Newspaper Pub
lishers' association and the Portland
brartch of the United Typothetae.
BOABD adopts POLICY
After a hearing on the petition of the
employing 'printers, the school board
adopted a resolution declaring It to be
,the policy of the board to consider the
recommendations of a committee of
three authorized to report concerning
the equipment and administration of a
school of printing. This committee In
: eludes a member of the school board, a
representative of the Portland News
paper Publishers' association, and a rep
resentative of the United Typothetae.
Director Orton Is the board member of
this committee.
In; its petition the Typographical union
urges that a representative of the union
bo included on this committee and sug
gest that, if the committee be increased
to five members, a representative of the
Allied Printing Trades Council be added.
The Typographical union petition fur
ther urges against the discontinuance of
the printing department at Jefferson
high; school.
rEIJSTERS' tJITION STATEMENT
The petition reads in part as follows :
W maintain that the number of print
ers meets the requirements of the in
dustry. As to apprentices, we deny that
we. In any manner, impose restrictions
so that at the present time there are
onlyi 34 apprentices employed in this
city.: Your petitioners further maintain
that In the past few years the union has
found ft necessary to insist that em
ployers shall either give their apprentices
more thorough Instruction or not em
ploy them at all. which may account for
the small number employed. But we
further maintain that It is the duty of
the employer to Instruct apprentices
with! private funds.
400 JO r It K YM K Ji EMPLOYED
The petition recites that there are at
present 400 journeymen printers regular
ly employed In Portland and 61 journey
men j not regularly employed.
The petition continues: J
Your petitioners, 'who have spent many
years at . the printing business, have
made a survey of the printing depart
ment of the Jefferson high school of this
-'ty. and have ascertained the following
facts: That there is now available room
for linotype machines and such addi
tional equipment as would be needed
to bring that department up-to-the-minute
as a vocational school (Insofar as
printing is concerned) : there is also
room for a bindery, where girls could
e Instructed in that branch.
We admit additional equipment should
be purchased, but We deny that that
school lacks either necessary curriculum,
or competent Instructors, as your com
mittee Is informed a complete vocational
course has been planined under the direc
tion of Hopkin Jenkins, one of the best
known principals In the Northwest, and
was filed in April, 1918, with the super
intendent of schools, and, we are in
formed, approved as a course coming
under the congressional Smith-Hughes
act.
COMPETENCY JTOT ISSUE
Aj! to the competency of the instruct
ors, their work for the school district
speaks for them, and we sumblt that if
they have been incompetent, the re
flection would be equally upon your
honorable board for retaining thern, as
we are Informed they hare continued in
the employ of the school board for the
past five years and moje, without one
word of complaint.
Your petitioners respectfully submit
that taxpayers' money should not be
ured to move the printing department
from where it is now located in the
Jefferson high school for the following
reasons t
. At the Benson school girls would be
prohibited from receiving instruction
(seven girls, we are informed, are now
studying printing at Jefferson). Women
sre employed on linotype machines and
In the proof room of both the Oregoniah
and The Journal, and In the proof room
of the Telegram and he News, and girls
should be equally entitled to receive this
: instruction, tr they so desire.
1 REPRESENTATION 18 ASKED
; And your petitioners respectfully re-
I quest, in the interest of fair play to ail
concerned, tnat a immoer or tms union,
and If your honorable board desired to
make the committee five, another mem
ber ivrn 1 1 ,t t
council, be added to the number, making
up the committee appointed to investi
gate the needs of the printing industry
at this time. ,
