WORKING HALF TIME

Grafton, w. Va.-It has been some
time since Local Union No. SO has re-
ported, but we are still in existence
and going strong. Our plant is con-
tinually being improved with new ma
chinery and addition, also two new
shower rooms for which we wish to
thank the management.
Although we are working but half
time now we are very optimistic about
the future and expect to see an in
crease in business very shortly. The
clay shop worked forty hours the past
week, a feat which they very seldom
get to perform; in fact, the writer be-
lieves that it is the first time this has
happened in 1888.
With squirrel season coming in Oc-

rods making plans for a short camp
ing excursion next week. Brothers
James Chester, Cleveland Curry,
Dewey Jones and Less Kirby make up
a party ready to bag, in addition to
squirrels, a few bears, a turkey apiece
and do little fishing on the side. At
least they are taking a trailer along
to put up a good front. Good luck

Federal Inquiry Ordered -
"The convention with unanimity re-
quested the President of the United
States to appoint commission to
make study Of this particular abuse
and the whole subject of vocational
education. H..
"Such commission was in fact ap-
pointed. After spending year on this
inquiry, they discovered that it was
difficult to report on vocational educa-
tion alone without reference to the
larger field of education.
Accordingly the terms of reference
of the committee were enlarged and
the time was extended. ~, $50 r
Local Advisory Committee Created
''ln December of last year the re-
port of the committee was submitted.
1t represented a conscientious en-
deavor to explore the defects as pre-
sented by the resolutions of the
American Federation of Labor and to
make some concrete recommendations.
"The criticisms of the Federation
were substantiated and machinery es-
tablished to prevent the recurrence of
such an abuse by providing for the
creation of local advisory committees
on which labor was represented.

Crooksville, O.-Howdy folks! 1t
has been long time since the O. c.
has had an occasion to write, but |
just must tell you Of our wonderful
party. The members of &C are still
smiling and their stomachs should be
we'll filled by the amount of food that
was consumed. After the local meet
ing all members assembled at Pocahon-
tas hall, two hundred strong. Greet
ings were given by our president,
Russell Brannon, who proved his
worth as not only being a business
like president, but a real master of
ceremonies. We believe he could run
a close second to Jack Benny.
A very fine program was presented
by the committee. Everyone enjoyed
himself and much praise is due the en-
tertainers. Tap dancing, musical Sc
lections and barber shop harmony
topped the bill. An appetizing lunch
was served by the Pocahontas ladies.
The way Local 66's members can eat
sure made the mattresses run around
like Indians. .,. .. ,.,,..,,

confronted with opposition from some
of their best friends, on one conven-
tion covering all matters of employ
ment. And the workers group, after
a considerable discussion, finally rec
ognized that it would be practically
impossible to secure such a far-reach-
ing convention, with the result that
they modified their position and were
agreeable for two, three, four, or five
different conventions covering indus
try, transportation and commerce.

that it could probably be acted upon

"One of the many things that has
stood in the way of this question has
been the preparations for war that
have been going on in the different
European nations. Armaments have
been uppermost in the minds of the
governments.
There is no question, judging from
what the conferences are discussing,
that there is coming a change in the
minds of those who originally were
opposed to these reforms as proposed
and advocated by the international
Labor Office. And l believe that it will
not be long before there will be a

Vocational Guidance Meth

LABOR SCHOOL OPEN
Excellent Stdff Chosen To
Teach In Recently
Opened School

Perth !Amboy, N. 1.-THE regular
meeting of Local Union No. 96 was
we'll attended in spite of the fact that
most of the bowl men have been off
work since August. 1t is reported
that number of them are going back
to work on Monday.
The delegates to the Perth Amboy
Building Trades Council gave report
of the first meeting to which this To-
cal was admitted. In the report it was
said that Edward Herbert of the To-
cal public schools as teacher of vo-
cational guidance gave talk on what
he thought would help the young peo-
Pile in public life. His idea is to allow
Is students in the upper grades to be
sent out to do office work and sales
work. This he contends will enable
them to adopt themselves quicker to
do and find work when they have
finished school. He condemned the
action taken by the Perth Amboy Cen
tral Body last spring, in which that
body hit such method of vocational
guidance by resolution.
What Mr. Herbert said sounded
good, but if good union men think the
matter over seriously they will find
that Mr.. Herbert is guiding himself
into better job instead of helping
the young people. Therefore later in
our meeting resolution was passed
such action by our public
schools in view of the fact that we
believe this will tend to undermine
the fundamentals of unionism.
Mr.. Thomas Kelly Of the Teamsters
Union and president of the C. L. U.
officially opened the labor school on
October 8. A fine turnout of union
men from the surrounding towns
showed US that unions are going

The National Brotherhood of Oper-

through the organizations representa-
tives at the American Federation of
Labor convention, President James NJ.
Duffy, First Vice President f. l..
Wheatley and William Watkin, that
immediate steps would be taken by
the Executive Council to bring to the
attention of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporations officials the dis
astrous effect its policy of financing
unfair firms in direct competition with
those employing union workers and
paying the wage scale attained by col
lective bargaining is having on these
fair companies and their employees
Immediately after President Duffy's
impassoned plea last Tuesday for
favorable action on the resolution
which he introduced the first day Of
the meeting, Chairman William Green
stated, 81 feel justified in assuring
President Duffy that, inasmuch, as
this resolution was referred to the
Executive Council, we shall give it
priority and preference. We will take
it up as quickly as possible"
The resolution probably headed the
list in Importance, making the second
straight year the Brotherhood repre-
sentatives have brought far-reaching
proposals to the floor Of the AFL con-
vention. Last year President Duffy
introduced the japanese Boycott and
Buy American campaign to the country
through the American Federation of
Labor when it was in session in Dem
yer.
First Vice President E. L. Wheatley
was named to represent the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at the Can
adian Trades Congress to be held next
September. 1t is not known definitely
where the meeting will take place.
Recommendation of the Brotherhood
official was made by President Duffy.
This is the second time the Natl
onal Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters has enjoyed national recognition
and both of these occasions has been
within the past two years. In Janu-

Houston, Textile many contribu-
tions which the American Federation
Of Labor has made to the cultural life
of the nation were emphasized by
Spencer Miller, Jr., Director of the
Workers Education Bureau, in an ad
dress before the annual convention of
the Federation here.
Notable among these contributions,
he declared, was the Improvement Of
our vocational education system, which
intimately affects so many working
men and women. In reviewing this
subject, Mr.. Miller said:
81 recall to your mind your respon-
sible part in inaugurating the inquiry
on vocational education which resulted
in the Report of the Presidents Advis-
ory Committee on Education.
Public Funds Were Used For Schools
In Private Plants
"The sequence can be rapidly traced.
Three year ago at the Atlantic City
convention three resolutions were in
troduced calling attention to the way
in which Smith-Hughes funds have
been given to schools located wholly
within private industrial plants and
operated in a manner which seriously
affected wage earners, not only tend
ing to overcrowd certain skilled
trades, but in other ways to lower pre-
vailing wages in these skilled trades,
thereby increasing unemployment as
well as lowering standards of living

Houston, Tex.-With only one dis

GRAFTON of Labor declared there was
no solution of the trouble in the labor
movement growing out of the contro-
versy between the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the Committee for
Industrial Organization until that
secessionist and rebel group deprives
John L. Lewis Of his dictatorial au-
thority or until Lewis voluntarily
steps aside.
In addition, the convention declared
that the high command of the C. l.
0. and it's affiliated unions must be
purged Of Communists.
The report Of the Committee on
Resolutions, which the convention
adopted, said Mr.. Lewis's dictatorial
mind has made reunion under the fed
Grafton banner impossible. Last years
broke down, the report
insisted, for the solitary reason that
it was mot possible to satisfy the

mates and dictates to the C. |. O."

The action of the annual convention
Of the American Federation of Labor
at Houston, Texas, in unanimously
electing William Green to the office

for that important position.

December, 1924, the A. F. of L. Ex-
ecutive Council named Mr.. Green to
fill the vacancy. He was first elected
to the office of president by the 1925
A. F. of L. convention and has been
reelected every year since then with
out opposition.
Nominated by Duffy
At the Houston convention he was
