The Typographical union did not call a atrlke, although the fifteen largest shops had posted notices declaring that after the expiration of the contract with the union Thursday. October t, the union would not be recognised and the employment open to all labor regardless of union affiliations. The union took the stand that the old contract provides for thirty days time after the agreement ends for the discussion of nego tiations. .For this reason no strike was called. Samuel Rees of the Rees Printing com- pany. who Is president of the Omaha Ty pothetae. presented each member of his composing room force with a letter acoom-' panying the pay envelope Thursday night. Borne of them expressed regret at parting with old and trusted employes. A sample' la the follnm-lng: OMAHA, Oct. l-Mr. Charles Anderson. Omaha. Neb.:, pear Sir Inasmuch as we consider that the demand of the Typo graphical union for an eight-hour day are unreasonable arid cannot be granted with out sacrificing our business, we have de termined commencing with tomorrow morn ing to run our shop a an open shop, em ploying men without anv reference to their affiliation with the Typographical union. I nless you wish to remain at work under these conditions we think It Is most satis factory to all parties that your employ ment should cease with the expiration of the contract with the Typographical union tonight. Ymin truly, REES FfifNTiNI COMPANT, . By Sa.ra'1 Keen, President Part at KatUaal Flffbt. The controversy In Omaha is part of a Huitional struggle . brought on by the de mand of the Typographical union for an e;;ht-hour day for job printers, starting January J. In reply the National Typoth e:ae declared It wouM not grant the elght-'-our day, but, on the other hand, would re .ie to make contracts with the union in the future and conduct business on the "open shop" plan. In many other dtles fct:i!:es are on. Aside from the four offices where the men were paid off and did not return, the usual onion forces were at work Friday morn-na-! and.ino intimations wars given of a walkout. The other shops, parties to the open shop . agreement. are the Omaha Print,'' j con-nany. Klopp at Bartlett company. Puikley Printing corn aany. tie Western Newspaper Union, Kramer- at Chandler, Kggers-O Fling company. Douglas Printing company, L A. Medlar company, .Reed Printing company, McCoy ( Printing company, Potter Printing company. Only the little shops, manned by one or two persons are not In the deal. The most of these have signed the Union agreement. . Salts Threaten by Falaa, Should the strike resolve into the bitter conflict that Is promised suits against the Omaha Business Men's association, charg ing coercion and conspiracy are threatened by the union. It is for this purpose that Attorney W. J. Crmnell has been employed by the union. Leading members of tho organisation say they have evidence show ing that the Business Men's association, which was organised to combat union labor, has employed various means to drive cer tain employing printers into line, with the object of crushing the Typographical union. These charges Include, alleged threats to foreclose mortgage, attempts to. deprive employers of credit and Intimidations of boycott and refusal te deal with proprietors unless they joined with tha National Typotheate la insisting upon the open hop, L President Reea of the Typothetae said: We have no aversion to taking back any of our old employee providing they to us on oar terms and as Individ They may belong to anions If they please. Arrangements are being made to supply this and other shops with all the FISHER SPEAKS FOR THE tjKIOJ Prewldeai Blames Baslaeaa Mea'a Aa- ee-rtatlea Kseoatlvo Ceaa ealttee. President K 8. Fieher of Omaha Tyro graphical anion No. 1 Friday gave this statement to the newspapers: Our sympathy la with the employing printers because recently thev have not be'n In a poeition to "run their own hni neas." In the paet the Typographical union and the employing printers hare alwavs been able to reach a basis of settlement of all their differences. In the negotiations for the elrM-hour Aav w hav fr...tA th.t many employing printers under duress have ! been forced to take a position In antarn- j nlsm to the union and against their ewn good business Judgment. This "unarnert- I can" system of boycott has b-n conducted 1 by the executive committee of the Business Men's association, which la composed largely of Jobbers and men not engaged In retail business. If this fight Is forced onfo the Typographical union the business men of Omaha will have an opportunity to show whether their practical sympathy is with the lobbing Interests or with men who earn wagea and spend their money for the neces sities of life. There are well known business men In Omaha who are ready to go Into court and swear that they have been forced Into the I Business Men s association by duress. We j are not seeking a conflict with those with whom we have been spending money, but ; will be compelled to fight baok If forced J Into a comer. To avoid trouble and for the prosecution of damage suits we have retained -W.-J. Connell as the attorney of the Typograph ical union. His services are free to em ploying printers who are threatened with , aoyoott by the committee of the Business ' Men's association or Individuals or firms. There are aurprises In store for some em I nently respectable people if they continue I to force the issue, we know from evidence ' and facts In hand that the business men i of Omaha, through the manipulation of their chosen representatives, are responsl- I ble for the conflict between the employing and Journeymen printers. The argresslve work of the executive com- ! mltte of the Business Men's association I has affected members of the employing j printers association In different waya. The employer, who is Inclined to play to the grandstand, hoping to make himself solid i with business men. has talked "fight" long ; and loud whenever or wherever he thought . he could Impress a customer present or i prospective with the Idea that he Is a "union hater." Other employers, who have well organised offloea and are good managers and business men. and want to keep their present working organisation, have many of them frankly said, that they were ready to meet the union half way. If It was not for fear of an 'Tnamerlcau boycott by members of the Business Men's association. Knowing the real power "behind the throne" the Typographical union has done everything poMUbie to help the employing printers out of their difficulty. The union and Typothete had a three years contract, which expired today, but with a provision that It should continue In force thirty days after October , HKK. pending negotiations for a new contract. The Typographical union has carried out every provision of tho contract, as it always does whenever It makes a contract. The Typographical union Is not an anarchistic organisation, but Its membership is made up from among the best clisa of our citizens It was a surprise to the officers of the union this morning to learn that four of the union offices working under this con tract paid off their men Thursday night and either discharged them or locked them out this morning.
