Head of ITU Yields Point In Court Quiz
INDIANAPOLIS AP Under sharp questioning by a federal judge President Woodruff Randolph of the International Typographical Union conceded that hiring discrimination against non-union printers is possible under ITU contract proposals to newspaper publishers. Randolph testified during a 40 minute quiz in the contempt case against the union and its officers. They face charges of pressing for closed shop terms despite a Taft Hartley injunction. The ITU seeks competency tests with a two union two publishers board. non union applicants would be accepted without a test. Randolph said the system could work fairly but acknowledged discrimination as possible though highly improbable. He insisted the scheme would maintain trade standards and allow non union printers to obtain jobs, while noting unions dislike working with non members. He suggested adding a fifth board member to break ties if needed. The judge pressed whether all around competency tests would discriminate. Randolph said union members must apprentice before regular work and publishers want to maintain skills. He claimed there is no ulterior motive and denied intent to maintain closed shop.
