incibiagaaaai MOVE ON TO BAR PUBLICATION OF RADICAL WORKS Boss Printers Scheme to Enlist Aid of Unions By SYLVAN A. POLLACK, (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 21—A move to censor the printing of radical literature can be seen in the action taken bythe Employing Printers’ as- sociation to obtain the help of the Allied Printing Trades Council to have an ordinance passed by the mu- nicipal assembly licenseing all print shops in the city. The ordinance would establish com- plete police control over the print shops. Sponsors of the bill openly ad- mit that one of its main’ purposes is to prevent the printing’ of “seditious literature.” The boss printers admit that the ordinance is doomed unless it is en- dorsed by the union men. The union refused to indorse a legislative bill to the same effect two years ago. The measure came out of the bill drafting committee in the closing days of the session and the union was unwilling to endorse it on such skort notice, so the bill fell thru. The home rule act was passed since then and the boss printers behind the Dill were adivsed to present their measure to the municipal assembly. Before laying their plans for submit- ting the measure as an ordinance, the sponsors of the licensing plan ex- plained the objects of licensing to the union men, who were under the im- pression that it was a scheme to li- cense only the workingmen. Wants Union to Co-operate. In order that the members of the union might be made partners to the scheme they were promised represen- tation on a board of examiners, which would have power to approve or re- ject an application for a license before the commissioner of licenses took ac- tion, The ordinance in its present shape provides for a board of examiners, to include—a representative-each of the employing printers’ association of New York City and the Allied Printing Trades Council of New York City. Each organization would submit a list of 20 names, from which the commis- sioner of licenses would pick two examiners, The two examiners jointly would submit another list, from which the commissioner of licenses would pick the third member of the board of examiners.

L. Deimel, assistant chief, division of foreign tariffs, U. S. department of commerce. Deimel says, “The change to be encountered by our foodstuffs trades with Germany will consist of a number of increases over existing rates, coupled with the application of duties to many articles which have been entering free of duty for 10 years.” Germany has been forced to this tariff change by the reparations pa ments.

The] heads insisted new duties on these four items alone would add about $20,000,000 to their cost to the German people. These duties, particularly those on agricultural products, are also expect- ed to serve as a basis for bargaining. The German government in negotiat- ing trade treaties will offer conces- sions to secure lower duties on the articles which it exports. ogre | under the Dawes’ plan must cut down its imports and increase its exports. To gain a market for its manufactur- ed products in the United States it wants to persuade the United States to cut the high tariff which now im- poses a barrier. When the bargaining starts, Ger- many’s concessions to help the Ameri- can farmer find a market will be bal- anced by American concessions which will bring the American factory work- er face to face with severe compe- tition. The new German tariff em- phasizes that American producers on the farms and in the-factories owe the Dawes plan anything but gratitude. Laborers Strike for Wage Increase on Atlantic City Job ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 21.— Laborers working on the new Presi- dent Hotel, Albany Ave. and the Boardwalk, have gone on strike. They ask that their wages be raised from 40 and 50 cents an hour to 75 cents an hour. It was said that if nonunion labor- ers were employed all members of the fourteen other trades belonging to the Building Trades Council would strike. the union upon wage increases and the company officials were will- ing to grant the wage increases only on the provision that certain condi- tions which the men had won from the rail’company be forfeited. The company after being refused these concessions then tried to force the issue and a’strike resulted. Suburban Rail Rates Go Up.
