PRINTERS OF LONG IIOO
WERE PROGRESSIVELY
OUILDING FOR FUTURE
The picture above is that of
the Charlotte Typographical Union
on parade back in the ‘M's—in the
good old ‘‘horse and boggy’’ days.
Quite a large number of printers
were employed on the newspapers
and in commercial shape back in
those days. All the type was then
set by hand and long hours were
required to produce the typo for
the daily papers. Members of the
Typographical Union wore fore*
moat in promoting better working
conditions for American workers.
The Typographical Union ia the
oldest in America. It was the in*
stigator of plans to form the
American Labor Movement which
resulted in the setting up of the
American Federation of Labor.
Like Uncle 8am it has quite a few
thousands of sons and daughters,
nephews and nieces. It is proud
of its contribution to the better
ment of working conditions for all
American workers. Today it has
dosed shop agreements through
out the United States and Can
ada and its business with the
newspapers and commercial shops
is carried on in a business-like
and dignified manner. William
M. Witter, for many years pub
lisher of The Charlotte Labor
Journal, who has retired, is one of
perhaps two living charter mem
bers of Charlotte Typographical
Union. Re resides at Mt Marsh
Road. Charlotte. *
The Union today Is headed by
Claude L. Albea. preseident, C. J.
Pridgen, vice president; O. N. Bur
gess, secretary-treasurer: H. L.
Beatty, recording secretary, and
H. B. Alexander, sergeant-at-arms.
PENN8Y BALLOTT1NG CON.
CLUDED; BIG TASK OF
COUNTING STARTS1
Philadelphia, Pa.—After nearly
a month of ballotting, National
Mediation Board crew* this week
wound up the biff collective bar- '
graining election among 50.000
shopmen on the Pennsylvania.
Those voting by mail still have
a few days to get in their ballots.
However, the job of counting the
returns will be a huge one.
First, mediators must check
the signatures on the outer en
velopes of nil mail ballots against
names in eight big books contain
ing the carrier's shop payroll.
This is done to guard against any
irregularities.
That will take at least a week.
After checking, the mail ballots
are thrown with those cast at the
polls, and then actual tallying
will start, Board officials esti
mated the Anal count won't be
available until the second week
in May.
