Resolutions Introduced By
Executive Boord-Rules
Suspended
DANEAU THKS
Canadians Are Praised For
Courage and Leadership
By President

Atlantic City, n. J.-Tuesday after
moons session saw the delegates whirl
through a number of resolutions,
speaking we'll for the rest they enjoyed
over the weekend of the Fourth. The
quickness with which they dispatched
a number of resolutions proved the
thoroughness with which the questions
were gone over in committee meetings.
In addition to splendid talks by
Spencer Miller, Jr and NJ. J. Flynn
last week, the convention enjoyed the
words of Representative Frank Dam
eau, one of the delegates from St.
Johns, Canada, who with his partner,
Leo Gauther, also of Local 78, asked
permission Of the convention to return
home.
Brother Daneau, speaking with
fine French accent, explained that it
had always been the experience of the
delegate to a national convention to be
fired upon his return to work, but the
Minister of Labor had always been
called upon to restore the delegate to
his job. This year the delegates were
granted week to attend the conven-
ton and they did not wish to be COM
PEELED once more to ask the Minister
of Labor for his aid.
Mr. Daneau stated that there was
a better feeling between the Brother
hood and the management now which
would mean more members would be
enrolled. He told of the last visit
of First Vice President E. L. Wheatley,
when the official was we'll treated by
the new manager.
His one complaint was that when
the organization fought for better con-
ditions and pay, including the 10 per
cent raise they received, the rats"
were advanced too. Not only were
they advanced, but, in the past, these
men were favored. He emphasized the
fact that conditions were better now
and extended the delegates an invita-
ton to visit the Canadians at any time.
President Duffy praised the work OF
the two delegates from the other side
of the border, reminding the conven-
ton of the delegate work that was
done and the able manner in which
these two leaders accomplished it.
Vice President Wheatley also lauded
the work of the brothers and stated
that the management was now very
fair minded He stated that Local 7S
has improved faster than any local in
the organization.
Other delegates asked to be excused
and were granted permission by the
convention.
The rules applying to the intro
duction of new resolutions was sus-
pended Tuesday to allow the intro
duction of the following resolutions by
the Executive Board:
Whereas, The practice of the Treas
ury Department in allowing goods

Death Of Son Calls
Delegate Home


Atlantic City, N. J.-Daniel Hilditch,
representing Local Union s6 here at
the forty-sixth annual convention was
given terrible shock when he re-
turned to his hotel after the Friday
session. He was told of the sudden
death of his son, William, in an auto
truck collision in East Liverpool.
The dead man is member of Lo-
cal Union No. 10 and was employed
as a handler at the Homer Laughlin
China Co.
MIR. Hilditch left for East Liverpool
at once.
A similar happening occurred at the
last convention when Dave Bevan was
called home. His son, William, who
had been sick for sometime, but we'll
on the road to recovery, so the doctors
thought, died suddenly.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Lauding the
officers and membership of the Natl
onal Brotherhood of Operative Potters
for the manner in which they have
carried their story to the public by
q. courage, exhibits and demonstra-
tions better than any other American
Federation of Labor Organization" N.
y. Flynn, head of Americas Wage
Farmers Protective Conference and
labor's leader around the Capitol,
greeted the delegates of the Forty
Sixth Annual Convention of the N. B.
o. P. here Saturday morning.
Mr. Flynn related how President
James M. Duffy has brought new re-
spect for his organization and told the
story behind low tariff. His complete
address follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Workers.
1t is indeed a pleasure to again
meet with and to address you.
l want to commend your organiza-
tion, and, especially your officers, who,
under the able and progressive lead
ership of President James NJ. Duffy,
have initiated and successfully carried
on campaigns which, while it is true
have enlarged your membership, have,
what is more important to all Of your
members, insured job opportunities
which otherwise would have been de-
MED to them.
Your campaign to have all Ameri-
cans boycott all japanese products,
started after President Duffy, working
with President Mara of the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union, prevailed upon
the last convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor to support such
campaign, has alone resulted in
thousands of your members having
had work, which, if this campaign had
not been so successfully carried out,
would have meant your workers
would have been idle and the work
done by japanese workers in Japan.
The memorable meeting sponsored
and promoted by your organization in
East Liverpool was extremely we'll
publicized in the newspapers all over
the country, in motion picture news
reels and over the radio. Your cam
paign has aroused millions Of Ameri-
cans who now refuse to purchase any
Japanese products.
The "Buy American" meetings spon-
sored or promoted by your organiza-
ton, under the able leadership of
President Duffy in various cities of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and other states have been highly suc-
cessful. have no hesitancy in stating
they also have helped to insure work
opportunities for your membership.
Your recent Wheeling meeting of

in the newspapers and commented up

AfFourfh Session
Traces importance Of Trdde
From Ddwn Of History
To Present Time
NEW ACT TOO LONG,
Wdge-Hour Act Is Compli-
Gated and Contains Muny
Loop Holes

Atlantlc City, N. J.-Spencer Miller,
Jr. reminded the potters of the ancient
craft they were representing when he
spoke to them here in convention last
Wednesday afternoon. The Educa-
tional Director of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who spoke on three
different occasions in East Liverpool
less than a month ago, traced the art
of potting from the beginning of man
to the present time. He stated that
the ceramic industry told the story of
man better than the written word be-
cause it was older. 4 ~
In emphasizing the Importance of
the craft he stated that the story of
bronze takes but three pages in the
Encyclopedia Britannica while ceramics
needs 81 pages to tell it's story. The
story of the creation is summed up in
z pages and the entire history of the
founding, building and cultivation of
America is told in 103 pages, or less
than twice the number used for the
trade of the pottery workers. This,
he made clear, showed the Importance
of the work the potters were doing
and called the delegates privileged to
be included in such a trade.
"The unexamined life is not worth
striving for" said Mr.. Miller, quoting
the ancient Socrates, "And," he con-
tinued, "unexamined labor existence is
not worth striving for" He warned
the delegates to chart a true course
while assembled in convention.
Stating that eternal vigilance is the
price Of freedom, he said that when
man feels most secure, he is most like
ly to loose his advantages. r...
The man, who President Duffy call
ed the Scholar of the American Labor
Movement, said the most important
problem facing the trade union move
ment is the way in which it treats the
great army of workers. He said con-
fidence must be created. He traced
the success of the early movement
when it thrived on hardship and sac
rifice. He told how children were elm
mated from the factories, how women
were protected and how education
brought forth better laws.
When labor had attained a high
goal, Mr.. Miller stated, it fell be-
cause of personal ambitions. He told
the delegates never to forget that no
organization with such foundation
ever falls from attacks outside of the
movement. Loss is suffered because of
a lack of adhesion within the move
ment. .:~..
After violent anti-union campaign
the movement was privileged to have
a second chance, but before it could
take full advantage Of this course, il
split on matters of policy and person.

SUPPORTED BY 4. F. or L.
Virginia Legislature Com
pletes Program for the
Aid of Aged

When Governor James H. Price of
Virginia affixed his signature to the
Weaver Hillard Omnibus Social Sc
curity Bill enacted by the recent sess-
ion Of the Virginia Legislature, he
placed the last State of the Union on
the roll of old age pension common
wealths.
The enactment of the Virginia law
completing nationwide legislation pro-
viding assistance for the INDECENT aged
in the United States may be rightly
regarded as a definite achievement Of
the American Federation of Labor,
which has long been the militant ad-
vocate of this eminently just pro-
lection for persons who have reached
old age without adequate income to
provide them with the necessities of
life.
AS early as 1902 the American Fed
Grafton of Labor approved the prin-
ciple Of old age pensions. The in
creasing need for this form of social
legislation was emphasized by A. F.
of L. conventions from year to year
coupled with efforts to secure both
Federal and State assistance for the
needy aged. In 1927 the Federation
assumed the leadership in vigorous
movement for the prompt realization
of this necessary type of social JUS
tice.
Ordered Study of Pension Systems
Impressed by the continual increase
in the number of aged destitute per-
sons and the utterly inadequate sys-
TENS in operation in a few States for
their protection, only six States and
the Territory of Alaska having pen
sion plans, the 1927 convention of the
Federation adopted the recommends
tion Of the A. F. of L. Executive Coun-
Gil for comprehensive study of all
plans of old-age pensions"
The Council made voluminous re-
port to the 1923 convention covering
old-age pension systems in the vari-
Gus States of the United States and
in Canada, including forty-seven bills
on this subject submitted to the Con-
gress of the United States beginning
Will Illc Ul1l 1utIOuuSCu NY SOH6AOoo-
man w. B. Wilson in 1907, the Fed
eral bills all having had the support
of the American Federation of Labor
Believing, however, that there was
urgent need for more adequate infor'
nation, the Council recommended
"that the American Federation Of La.
Dor ask the Congress Of the United
States to make the necessary appro'
priation and to authorize q commiss'
ion on old age income to study the
problem and make report" The Coun'
Gil said that "such commission
should consist of representatives Of
labor, employers and the public anc
should have adequate technical coun
sell"

Owners Of Privdte Cdpitol
Lend $500, 600, 600

Confronted in the Summer of 1884
with the nationwide refusal of banks
and other money-lending institutions
to meet the demand for loans for mod
ernizing and repairing homes, small
business establishments and institu-
tional properties, the United States
Congress passed law authorizing the
Federal Housing Administration to in
duce the owners of private capital to
enter this field by means of a plan
of government insurance Of the loans,
which it was believed would material
ly relieve unemployment in the hous-
ing field.
The lack of risk persuaded private
capital to advance the funds for these
loans with so much alacrity that up to
April /, 1887, when the loans were
temporarily stopped by Congress, the
Federal Housing Administration, ac-
cording to Stewart Mcdonald, FILA
administrator, had insured 1,45l 600
notes amounting to more than $780,
OO0 900. On February 8, 1888, the plan
was restored and liberalized under
amendments to the National Housing
Act. Since then $4,000 loans amount
ing to $44,OO0,O00 have been insured
by FHA, and the present rate of in
sured loans is more than S4,000,00O
weekly.
1t is interesting to note that resi-
Dental units represent about 80 per
cent of the loans, the owners of more
than 100000 homes having taken ad-
vantage of the Governments modern
ization plan. The remaining 10 per
cent of the total was represented by

Paul Wright Been Convicted Killing
 Wife, Children

LOS ANGELES, Feb. l2, P)- Paul Wright, former airport ex- ecutive, was convicted of man. slaughter for the slayings of his wife Evelyn and his best friend John Kimmel, the case having been given to the jury last night
 The trial, lasting for more than three weeks, was marked by Wright's contention that he shot them in a white f1ame'' of jeal- ousy when he found them in an unnatural embrace on the piano bench in Wright's residence last November 9th.
 The charge calls from one to ten years, having been convicted on two counts-one for killing his wife, the other for the death of Kimmel.
 Judge Ingall Bull called atten- tion to Wright's plea of not gull ty by reason of insanity, and i'm mediately ordered trial on that point before the same jury.
