CRIDBEN AND SEXTON
STOVE STRIKE SETTLED

The Metal Polishers' international
Union have settled their four months
strike at the Cribben and Sexton Stove
factory Of Chicago, Illinois.
This strike which occurred Septem-
Der 16, 1925, was satisfactorily adj
justed on January rs, 1926. N
Every condition demanded by the
union was granted BY the firm.
The long series Of preliminary con-
ferenees which resulted in the above
settlement have effectively overcome
in every way possible all ill-feeling
which may have been engendered be-
cause of the strike. Nothing what
ever was overlooked which would
leave cause to doubt that complete
concord was finally effected. Both
sides express satisfaction and a will
ingness to work for their mutual in
terests.
The Metal Polishers' international
Union takes this occasion to express
its sincere thanks for the support
rendered them in the struggle by la
Dor and the labor press, and earnest
ly request this same spirit will be
manifest In 4 hearty cooperation by
giving this settlement the same pub
licity that you gave when the strike
was on, that organized labor every
where may know that the Universal"
stoves are again fair to organized
labor.

ders, and stayed for a time ON the
banks Of the Rhine. He availed hi1n-
self Of the opportunities in travelling
70 acquire a knowledge of the world.
He also studied at this time natural
history, geology and chemistry.
The year 1929 found him back in
his native land at Saintes, France.
Here he married and practiced glass
painting and surveying. When the
council of Francis / decided to estab4
lish a salt tax, Pallissy was commits
stoned TO survey and prepare y plan
Of the salt marshes in the neiehbor-
hood.
One day Palissy saw among the
treasures Of a nobleman q cup Of
Chinese porcelain, then regarded in
Europe as one of the wonders of the
world. He was inspired by it and de-
termined to discover the mode of
producing white enamel.
Palissy had to start his investiga-
tons at the elementary processes. He
had to study the various sorts of
clay and earth, and to acquire the
arts of molding and turning. He made
q collection Of different substances,
pounded them up fine and spread
them over pieces Of broken earthern
pots. He had no furnace, SO he built
one. In describing his work, Palissy
said:
But / had no idea how much heat
was required. Perhaps I heated my
furnace too much, perhaps not
enough. Sometimes my ingredients
were all burned up, sometimes they
failed to melt at all"
His resources were meantime fast
approaching the point Of exhaustion.

DEFINITE PROGRAM
SAYS PRES. GREEN
BY WILLIAM GREEN
President, Americas FeasFation
o. Eabof.

Organized labor Is committed to q
definite, concrete program. Z win use
its influence and its economic power
in the promotion Of the material, spirt
itual and moral> welfare Of its mem-
bership and the great mass Of the
people. It is irrevoeahly committed
to the maintenance Of high wages and
high living standards. If given the
opporfanity II viii cooperate eafnsst-
u and sinesrsly = All efforts tq pro
mote efficiency in management and
the high standard Of American work
manship.
In advancing the material interests
sf the workers and their famiIi~s de-
pendent upon them, the membership
81 organized labor is looking above
and beyond the accomplishment Of this
eommendable and praisewoFthy pur-
pose. It seeks to attain 4 high spir-
iEual and cultural developments.
Through the medium Of high wages
shorter hours Of enployIpent. and
healthy envir0nmeht We seek oppof-
tunity to satisfy the longines and the
vearnings Of the humah heart and
soul for the sniogmeat q higher and
better things.
This ideal can not be raaeAed where
depression and poverty reign. + can
only Be attained where The industrial
sky Is bright with the glow q fair
dealing, justice and fresdona.
Our country has become great IN
many ways and though comparatively
young Il has excelled IL industrial
arts, social progress and eeonomie aaf
vancenent. With al of this prDsHess
has come the establishment Of what
Is commonly called athe American
standard Of Iieine.H This stanaard
can only be maintained through the
payment of hish wesaa Muzklt
men and women. It is inconceivable
and tnthinkable that it viii ever be
lowered.
Our advancement and cur further
industrial expansion will depend upon
the maintenance Of high standard Of
living and high standard Of work
nianship. The Industrial supremacy Of
America must be upheld. We take
great pride in it and regard it as an
essential American characteristic.
We can not hope to secure our share
Of the markets Of the dorld through
the imposition Of low wages. We can
only achieve greatness in these en-
deavors BY virtue of our ability to con-
duct the affairs Of labor and manage
ment in such way as to produce
manufactured goods of high quality
in large quantities, through the med
ium of the labor Of weIl-paid, highly
trained, efficient worlmen

His wife was displeased. with the turn
Of affairs and her mood did not inn
prove when Palissy was at last com
PEELED to burg the furniture and even
the floeres of his house to keep his
furnace running.
Palissy was about to give up when
one day he noticed that one of the
fragments was covered with a bril-
liant glazing. He was at last on the
right track. II took months more, but
success was near. He finally in
vented a new kind Of ware superior
TO anything yet produced.
He soon became famous and was
patronized by the royal family and
the nobility. The king gave him 4
pstent and about 1863 he removed to
Paris and set UP his pottery works.
His sculpture in clay and his enameled
pottery won recognition as meritori-
GUS works Of art. and came into de-
mand for the decoration of the homes
of the wealthy.

tines were also users of enamel.
This exquisite art, while old, was
forgotten, in the west at any rate,
due to the troublous character of the
times. Enameling is prominently
an art of the luxurious ages, and has
never thrived IN times Of stress or
war.
Bernard Palissy was born about
1910, although the exact time and
place are not known. His father, a
glass workers, was too poor to give
the inventor a good education. He
endeavored to educate himself. He
acquired a knowledge of geometry,
drawing, painting and modelling, and
also land surveying. At the close
of his apprenticeship he followed the
custom Of the times and became
travelling workman.
In his travels he visited the chief
cities of France, Bugundy and Flan-

Capital Comment
By FRED s. WALKER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. A.
A House subcommittee has been Civ
ing the people of Washington chance
to convince them that our board of
education should be elected by the
people. Much is said and written
about giving the people the fright" to
elect this board, which, of course, is
all wrong. The very fact that Amer
lea still has a Congress proves that
all Americans have the right" to
elect their officers. In 1878 Congress
deprived the people here Of the privi-
lege of exercising that right, and all
that now can be done is to restore
that privilege, which is one of the pill
lars of the well-known Constitution Of
the United States.

were subjected, became so convinced

Q.-Has the purchasing power of
wages gained in the past year?
A.--The U. S. Department of Labor
reports that the purchasing power Of
wages is higher now than it has ever
been. This is because wages have
risen faster than prices, the Depart
ment, explains, adding that in 1921
the purchasing power Of wages was 16
per cent higher than in the prewar
year Of 1918. In 1922 the purchasing
power dropped one point to 10 per
cent above prewar. In 1928 the fig
ure rose to % per cent. 1t went to
"a per cent in 1924 and 81 per cent
