Mr. Rouse— Let me answer his point. The gen-
tleman twists our argument around. I said that
this was a part of the International Union— the
Hebrew Union— and that they could interchange
by traveling cards. Now, that meant if a Hebrew
printer desired to come to No. 6 he could transfer
his card; but quite the contrary from what Mr.
Folachek pointed out, they do not come Into No. 6
because they do belter in their own organization.
We find our Hebrew members taking cards from
our Union going to the Hebrew Union to get the
better conditions.
Mr. Polachek— The record will show what was
said.
In reference to this third shift again, only those
Publishers who have morning and evening editions
can economically use the third shift provision in
the contract. The Post, Glohe, Mail, Telegram,
Eagle, Standard Union and Citizen^ evening papers,
which do not have early morning editions, but go
to press at 9 a. m. or 10 a. m., must do the best
they can to get out a paper in the one or two
hours after 8 a. m. or else pay overtime and ex-
cessive penalties for calling men before 8 a. m.
Is it unreasonable or unjust to ask that day work
begin at 7 a. m. when this Is readily granted by
unions in other cities and is a regular and neces-
sary condition in New York? "We say not as
unreasonable as the Union's present practice,
which compels a member called at 7 a. m. to
work nine hours, or If called at 6 a. m. to work
ten hours, or if called at 5 a. m. to work eleven
hours.
