The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-07-14
Convention
(Centinued From Pode One)

Duffy and the Executive Board on
their splendid report given to the
National Labor Board and feel that
through this report greater amount
of work will be brought to our people
and that more substantial hour and
wage shall be received.
Buffalo and James Rivers Potteries
The committee on Officers Report
recommend that the members of the
Executive Board use their influence
and assistance to bring the Buffalo
China Company into the fold of the
U. S. P. A. again, and that all as
sistance possible be given to our MEM
bership who were employed by the
James Rivers Pottery Co., to secure
employment through the reopening of
the plant now idle. We also recon-
mend that a uniform wage scale for
the chinaware workers of our organ
ization be set up at the coming wage
conference.
Sanitary Ware
The committee of Officers Report
find after careful study that the sani-
tary trade has made remarkable
strides in the past year and we marvel
at such ,unselfish interest shown by our
different locals throughout our organ
ization and we recommend that the
aggressive spirit of action so fearless
ly shown by these members Of the
sanitary trade be carried to the most
vital point of the unorganized and
when the field of battle is cleared it
will be found that this splendid army
of sanitary workers have again
achieved the goal of all good Union
workers; complete organization in
their trade And our final recommend
alton is that this branch Of the trade
be given an organizer.
Building Trades
The committee on Officers Report
cannot be too earnest in their in
tentions to orecomnend-to this .conven-
ton the necessity of all local unions
to make their main objective for the
coming year the affiliation of their
respective locals with the Building
Trades Department of the American
Federation, of Labor, as we, the COM
mittee, feel that this is the one de-
pendable method of entirely elimin-
ating the non-union made products
from the field Of building construction.
For inspiration to gain this great OBJ
jective we refer you to the splendid
results of the Eastern locals of the
sanitary trade and results achieved
through their affiliations.
Earthenware
We note with satisfaction the re-
markable strides toward complete or
ganization being made in this branch
of our trade and feel that with the
continued efforts of our capital organ
izer and his colleagues that we feel
shortly he will welcome to the folds
many new faces from the Earthenware
trade and we further wish to commend
the efforts of our National board and
members for the extensive driye being
put on in this branch of our organ
ization.
Porcelain
Here again we note with deep inter
est the incompatible work carried on
in this field and especially note the
increase in wages brought about by
the activities of our organizers and
the Executive Board; and we feel that
this is bit Of work well done. We
recommend that special care and at
tention be given this branch of the
trade until all distressing conditions
are eliminated and they are firmly es-
tablshed and that an organizer be
placed in this branch.
Un-Organized Shops
Brought to the minds of this com
mittee is the steady decrease OF the
unorganized shops throughout our
National territory and this commit
tee recommends to the Executive
Board that this praisewothy work be
especially noted and proper ammuni-
tion be supplied to the splendid army
of organizers and the battle be car
riedtto the camp of the enemy.
California
The committee on Officers Report
note with the keenest satisfaction the
splendid and amazing results obtained
in the great land of opportunity by our
Executive Board. We feel that the
fertile soil Of this great land, which
has put forth to man the untold
wealth she so jealously guarded, has
at last opened to the pottery trade the
way to new field in our great and
growing industry.
The most vivid imagination cannot
construct the future of the potting
trade in this state. Potting is the new
field of the west and with this thought
in mind, the committee on Officers Re-
port recommend that the Executive
, Board Immediately appoint new
member of the board to be a perman-
cnt resident and officer of the state
~ of California. And we further rec
ommend that we be consistent in our
effort to organize pottery industry Of
the entire state. Amended-From
now until next convention the Execu-
. tive Board shall make extensive or
- ganizing efforts wherever needed.

surance Company; and we call at
