PRINTElPl
ARE
DISMISSED
Notified
of
Dismissal
By
Newspaper
Managements
WINNDPEG,
Q
One
hundred
and
twenty
printers
of
the
Winnipeg
Tribune
and
Free
Press
have
been
notified
of
their
dismissal.
They
have
been
on
strike
since
November
8.
Officials
of
the
International
Typographical
Union
say
the
Union
will
protest
the
dismissal
to
the
National
Employment
Service
because
of
the
wording
of
the
notices
sent
to
the
50
printers
of
the
Tribune.
These
notices
gave
the
cause
of
dismissal
as
"serious
misconduct."
The
print
ers
contend
this
will
-prevent
,
them
from
seeking
employment.
The
Free
Press
men'are
taking
'no
action
because
their
notices
say
merely
"absent
from
work
since
November
8."
However,
National
Employment
Service
sources
"in
Ottawa
say
printers
of
both
papers
will
be
treated
alike,
regardless
of
the
wording
of
their
dismissal
notices.
The

of
