C. ITU PRESIDENT DENOUNCES NLRB SUIT Woodruff Ranolph, president of the International Typo graphical Union, denounced the action of the general coun sel for the National Labor Relations Board in filing a com plaint against the union and its local in Baltimore, alleging refusal to bargain on the part of the union. The complaint challenged the “no-contract” policy adopted by the Typographical Union. It accused the union of refusing “to bargain collectively in good faith with' the Graphic Arts League, an employer organization. ‘The Baltimore Typographical Union did not refuse to bargain on anything,” Mr. Randolph said, “and was ex pecting more meetings when the conspirators against the ITU took over.” “The Baltimore union did not break off negotiations and and even today, before the expiration of the current agree ment, is available for further negotiations with a view to coming to a conclusion with satisfactory arrangements. “Having made it impossible for trade unions to use the National Labor Relations Board, Mr. Denham, by the pre cipitate issuance of this complaint in this case, makes it abundantly clear how one-sided both the Taft-Hartley act and his enforcements of it are. “Contrary to the invariable practice of the board, no ef-( forts whatever have been made to settle this case on an 1 amicable basis. The complaint was served on us without warning, without adequate investigation and without ex ploring a possibility of reaching an agreement. Mr. Randolph referred to a meeting scheduled with the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association as an attempt on the part of the union and the industry to adjust any outstanding differences through “genuine collective bar gaining.” He said: “Despite Mr. Denham’s interference, this will continue to be our policy. I am persuaded that when all the facts are brought out, our position will be found to be in full compliance with the law.” NLRB GIVES UNIONS UNTIL OCTOBER 31 TO D*flfrRlBt)TE DATA Robert N. Denham, general counsel for the National La bor Relations Board, announced the grant of another time extension to unions in order that they might comply with the requirements of the Taft-Hartley law concerning filing and distribution of their financial reports. Unions now have until October 31 to satisfy the NLRB that they have circulated financial statements among their members, as required by law. Another requirement is that unions file their financial statements and other data about their organizations with the Labor Department in order to qualify before the NLRB. The postponement of the deadline or filing of financial data is the second such time extension granted by the NLRB’s general counsel’s office. Following the action of the AFL Executive Council and in response/ to requests of various unions, the general counsel moved ahead the date originally set for the filing of non-Communist affidavits by all unions officers. * As things stand now, October 31 is the date on which both non-Communist affidavits and financial data must be filed in order to satisfy thq NLRB. The double postpone ment saved nearly 5,000 cases pending before the board from dismissal. NATION’S FOOD BILL TO HIT $35 BILLION The nation’s food bill for 1947 will take $35 billion out of consumers’ incomes, the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics estimated. Soaring food prices are expected to push the grocery bills of American citizens nearly $6 billion above the 29.1 billion spent last year. The estimated total for food purchases this yewr is 2^ times the average spent in the prewar years 1935-39. At the bottom of the depression the nation spent only a third of thid year’s estimate for food. In the inflation of 1920. following World War I, food cost the country $17.4 billion, just half what's expected to be spent for eating this year. According to latest official figures, meat prices are up 130 per cent from mid-1939. dairy products prices up 92 per cent, fruit and vegetable prices up 118 per cent. These increases are based upon price jumps occurring through July. Further sharp gains have been scored in prices of food since then. - = Last Polio Health Hint: Avoid Sudden Chilling!

LABOR BACKS CAMPAIGN FOR COMMUNITY CHESTS Organized labor, through AFL President William Green, gave its and his personal and official endorsement to the 1947 campaign to raise funds for the Community Chests of America. Mr. Green, appointed a vice-chairman of the organiza tion, said in a letter to H. J. Heinz, 11, chairman of the Community Chests of America: “Thousands of members of the American Federation of Labor in every part of the United States are taking prom inent positions in the activities of their local Community Chests and Councils. “As you know, this participation on the part of our membership was responsible in large degree in making successful the campaigns of the Community War Chests. I am deeply convinced that this co-operation with thei* fellow Americans of all walks of life should be maintained during the peacetime era through the full participation of all citizens in local Community* Chest operations. “1 and the members of the American Federation of La bor are well aware of, the many fine services rendered to our citizens by the Community Chest supported Red Feath er Agencies. “Because of my deep interest in Community Chests and in the promotion of the humanitarian services rendered by tfcem, I give^ny personal and official endorsement to thd 1947 Community Chest campaigns.” ^XrrcrEvtRr 22 UVIMG PERSONSpWE wiasPFwop\f?roF HIS LIFE in AMEWTAt IMSTI1UTIOI. e famous BAujn a ^otuiwn m i»io IN VIRGINIA DEVELOPED LARGELYH20M a SERIES OF WHITE.
