Perth Amboy, N. J.-In the absence
of President Chris Jensen, Vice Presi-
dent Julius Sabo conducted the No
vember 25 meeting of Local Union
No. SO in very efficient manner.
1t was brought out that some action
should be taken to make for better
understanding between our members
and the plumbers. 1t was contended
by one member that the plumbers
should give preference to union
made ware. This brother was re-
minded that the plumbers had sug-
gested that this local should get on
the job and have the architects specify
our ware.
1t was reported by the delegate to
the Central Labor Body that the
Auto Mechanics Union of Perth
Amboy are on strike at the Mort Mo-
tors and Polkowitz Garage. These me-
chanics have an organization of more
than 100 members and are attempting
to have agreements signed with the
various garages and service stations
in the city. The men on strike have
opened a repair and service shop on
outer State street near Hall avenue.
Anyone who has any repair work to
be done will get nothing but the best
of service. These men deserve plenty
of credit for the persistence they have
shown so give them a hand. 1t was
also reported that Brother Walter Ly-
beck was appointed to serve on the
c. L. U. grievance committee.
Spencer Miller, Jr., of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor Educational
Department gave an excellent talk on
the History of Labor at the Central
Council Labor forum, November %.
More than 500 people attended the
meeting and applauded Mr.. Miller, one

Oregon Anti-Ldbor
Low Hits Workers
A. F. L. Will Test VdliditY Of
Measure Restraining
Union Activities

The success of the anti-labor groups
in Oregon in mobilizing enough votes
in the recent election to pass an initia-
tive measure Regulating" trade union
activities to the point Of destruction of
the organized labor movement in that
State will undoubtedly be thwarted by
the determination Of the American
Federation of Labor to take the law
before the courts with final appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The law, which nearly final election
returns show passed by majority of
about $4,000 votes, prohibits strikes
and picketing except by a majority of
the company's employees in a direct
dispute over wages, hours and work.
ing conditions; limits the collection of
money by dues or otherwise to the
actual needs of the union and requires
a strict accounting of union funds; /;
forbids so-called "union intimidation
or coercion" of non-union workers, and
prevents union Interference" with
any lawful commercial, manufacturing
or farming operations.
Similar proposals were rejected in
the November election by the adjacent
States Of Washington and California.
The Oregon State Federation of
Labor declares that the Oregon law
will prevent collective bargaining
and place the workers at the mercy
Of unscrupulous employers.

All Members Requested To

Delinquent Members Make
Arrangements To
Pay Dues

Grafton, w. Va.-Although Local
Union No. 98's meeting was somewhat
poorly attended, under the leadership
of President Mathews spirited
session was held. Many problems were
disposed of to everyone's satisfaction,
especially the report that, with but
two exceptions, all delinquent men,
bers had arranged to pay up. The To-
cal considered the merits of the two
exceptions and granted additional time
for settlement. No. 90 will always
listen to good excuse and be as
lenient as possible when any member
gets behind in his obligations to the
local. So, whenever you are sick or
unemployed be sure to report it to one
of the officials and appropriate action
will be taken, relieving you of the
payment Of dues until you are again
on the job.
Not having a record attendance at
the meeting, plans for the party fell
through until the next meeting, De-
cember Ia, at which time everyone is
given a special invitation to be pres
ent and express his or her views on
the Forthcoming social.
We were happy to receive the trans
fer card of Brother Floyd. Lisk and to
welcome him into the local as one of
our own; also Eugene Kirby, the
travelling mouldrunner, who was initi-
ated. Eugene, who has been in prac-
tically every state in the Union via
the box car route, says that during the
year 1882 there was many box car
that did not contain standing room
due to the number of transients oc-
cupying them. However, Gene has
gained wonderful store of knowledge
during his travels which he would not
trade with any of us who stayed at
home during those several years of
depression.
Employment at Carr China is still
holding up fine and we are all ex-
pecting a very Merry Christmas, SO
be out, at the next meeting and do
your part.-O. c. SO.

Senator said:
OF course, the purge is directed TO

to intimidate and terrorize thousands
of citizens of Maryland who hold
minor positions under these officers,
many Of whom earn slender salaries
upon which they support themselves
and families"
BY endorsing Lewis, Senator Tyd-

Substitute Plank
The following plank was substi-
tuted for one entitled Equal Pay
for Equal Work" included in the
tentative draft:
whereas our representatives in
Congress have supported the equal
rights amendment, we urge their
commendable action be continued in
favor Of the adoption of an equal
rights amendment in Congress so
that men and women have equal
rights throughout the United States
and all places subject to its juris-
diction."
The plank on unemployment was
shortened to read only:
"The Democratic Party believes
that those Of our citizens who.
through no fault of their own, are
unable TO obtain employment must
be taken care of through an Or
ganized relief program"
The planks providing for the en-
pIoyment of only Delawareans on
State jobs and for a teachers PEN
sion law. for the restoration of sal
airy increments to teachers and for
enactment of a teachers tenure law
were deleted.
James A. Hughes, representative
of the Painters Union No. 100 wired
the convention that labor interests
are opposed to any plank favoring
the awarding OF contract to only
Delaware contractors. Mr.. Hughes
pointed out that many outside con-
tractors pay union wage scale and
observe standard working conditions
while some Delaware general con-
tractors do not.

The DOUe of Peace

There are no war clouds on the
American horizon and unless some
foolishness develops in our interna-
tional affairs the United States will
likely be able to hold aloof from the
troubles of the old World If some
group of politicians should break
away from the American way and be-
gin to talk seriously about the United
States mixing up in foreign troubles
the answer of the public should be
the reputation of all such political
demagogues. regardless of what
or faction, they train with.
