Cleveland, O. (OLNS).-With the
backing of President William Green Of
the American Federation of Labor, and
John P. Frey, president of the AFL
Metal Trades Department, five local
AFL Unions launched fight and court
action against a National Labor Re-
lations Board decision multiplying a
closed shop contract held by the
Unions with the Electric Vacuum

Formal notice of objections to the
NLRB ruling invalidating the three
year-old closed shop contract held by
the Unions was filed here last week
with the local regional labor board
office. Appeals will be filed in the
near future with the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals at Covington, KY.
counsel for the Unions announced.
The Unions involved in the appeal
are the Metal Polishers, Machinists

dated the closed shop agreement on a
CIO complaint in behalf of "a former
Luc DOdIu Vic SOAll-

James P. McWeeny, president of the
Cleveland Metal Trades Council, with
which the Unions involved are affiliated
indicated that members would refuse
to work with the "a men ordered re-
instated, which would prevent the com

"We shall not allow the Nationa

PrevieW Of Fair

Potter Lunches With Worlds
Fair Executives While
In New York
50.0OO.OOO VISITORS
Expect Patrons To Spend
Billion Dollars At
Huge Expo
5O.OOO,OOO VISITORS

The favorable attitude taken by the
Forty-Sixth Annual Convention to-
wards the erection Of a pottery ex-
hibit at the New York Worlds Fair
in 1889, as reported in the Herald, is
very encouraging news to the sup
porters of this enterprise.
The delegates should also be COM
mended in their efforts to guard the
finances of the organization as shown
in their selection of Atlantic City for
next years convention city, but New
York city should have been given fur
ther consideration. The slight differ
ence in the cost of such an experiment
would be small item compared to the
publicity for the Brotherhood and the
unusual forms of entertainment for
the delegates and their families.
AS to the location and other data
concerning the Fair, the following in
formation, secured on a recent visit
to New York, is offered to those in
terested.
The exposition will be situated in
Flushing Meadow Park, covering some
1,21612 acres Of ground. This is near
the geographic and population center
of the city, being but eight miles from
Times Square and the Pennsylvania
station and but IL miles removed from
the financial center of the world, Wall
street.
Concentrating the 150th anniver-
sary Of the launching of the United
States Government under the Federal
Constitution, the Fair will open it's
gates to the public, April 80, 1889 at
an estimated cost of s15O,O00,OOO.
The daily average attendance is ex-
pected to be 250,000 people, with a
maximum attendance on any one day
set at 100000. One billion dollars
will be spent in the grounds by so
million visitors, according to the Fair
officials.
Nothing seems to have been over
looked in the preparations for the
worlds greatest show, especially in the
field of transportation. When you ar
rive in New York, you will have a
choice of numerous ways to reach the
| SiooHoo' W. may 6o W oode, OH
bus, trolley, or any one of three sub
way systems. You can choose one of
three direct boulevards via the Tri-
Boro and greensboro bridges, or take
the Long Island electric train which
will run on an 18-minute schedule be-
tween the Pennsylvania station in
Manhattan and the Fair site. The
parking grounds will accommodate
$4,000 automobiles.
The proposed Hall of Ceramics will
be located very close to the 'Trylon
and Perisphere,' which is the theme or
central building, and next to the bridge
leading to the Marine theatre and
amusement section.
Most of the information here was
secured through the courtesy of two
hour conference, ending in an invita-
tion to lunch at the McAlpin Hotel by
L. S. Baker, G. j. McCartin and r. v
Hitchcock, directors of exhibits and
concessions. These gentlemen assured
me they will be pleased to send a rep
resentative to meet the potters and dc
all in their power to establish a pot
terry exhibit at the Fair.
