\bv OnlO LABOR NEWS oeTVICc)
Columbus, GA minor welfare de-
partment building measure, appro-
priating $1,0O0,000 for remodeling
and expanding four state hospitals,
was approved last week by the Senate
as the only important legislative
action taken by the Assembly so far
in it's third special session.
Under the provisions of the appro-
priation bill, the money will be match
ed by PWA funds. Oakley Spaght,
assistant state welfare director, said
tentative plans provide for ALLEGATION
of $80O,O00 for the Cleveland state
hospital; $5OO,OOO for the Massillon
state hospital; 100000 for the Long
view hospital at Cincinnati and $780,
600 for the Dayton state hospital.
This welfare building measure is
apart from the $15,O0O,OO0 state insti-
tutional building program advocated
by Governor. Davey, upon which no
action has been taken by legislative
committees to which it was assigned
for study.

week following the holiday recess,
they were asked by an 11-member
House committee investigating Ohio
poor relief conditions to delay action
on relief measures until late in June
in order to give the committee further
time to study the situation.
The Senate last week deferred
action on a major relief measure,
which provides for the establishment
of state relief administrator who
would have limited authority to con-
troll relief work in local subdivisions
and enforce compliance with state
wide standards.
A measure proposing levying a one
and one-fourth per cent tax on gross
sales and gross income was introduced

Huge Potter's Cone Unveiled
In Tribute To Pioneer.
F. A. Sebrinq
PRESIDENT SPEAKS
One Of First To Recognize
Vdlue of Collective
Bargaining

Sebring potters, honoring the men,
ory of a true pioneer, unveiled huge
replica of potter's cone at the en-
trance of the Limoges China Co. last
Tuesday. F. A. Sebring, founder of
the town and many potteries, was the
man whose spirit was paid the tribute
of this splendid memorial.
Born in Vanport, (Pa.) Mr.. Sebring
and five brothers moved to East Liv-
erpool early in life. A grocery store
first held the interest of the brothers,
with F. A., as always, the leader.
When the brothers were able to take
positions in the Foutts' Pottery, the
store was forgotten. Later they built
the Klondyke plant here, ahd then
moved to East Palestine to take over
the East Palestine Pottery Co.
Frank Sebring had long dreamed
of town where everyone could own
his own home and have enough ground
for a garden, hence Sebring, (Ohio)
was born and so were three plants in
the town. The man found time to
make success of a pottery in Niles,
Salem, Alliance and Minerva. In ad-
dition to these he had far-flung enter
prizes throughout the country.
Mr.. Sebring was born in 1865 and
died in 1886.
President James NJ. Duffy of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters,, making the principal address
of the day, told Of the dreams and
aspirations of the stern, lovabie char
acter that was F.. A. Sebring; Of the
hardships and difficulties he surmount-
ed in establishing his plants which
gave employment to so many potters.
Contrasting Sebring with company
towns" as we know them, Mr.. Duffy
pointed out the ever-present domina-
ton of the "boss" in the latter and
the democratic rule which has always
prevailed in Sebring. 1t is the work
ers who have filled the offices in the
Ohio pottery center, he said.
Mr.. Sebring, along with W. E.
Wells, Hal Harker, Pat McNicol,
Colonel Taylor and others, according
to Mr.. Duffy, was the first to recog-
nize the value of bargaining collective
ly with the employees. The labor
leader stated that while Mr.. Sebring
was outwardly gruff, he was always
solicitous for his workers.
1t is we'll known that mutual under
standing and high regard existed be-
tween the two men.
Jack Lindsey, sales representative
of Limoges, after sketching the ac-
complishments of the "peace-time
fighter" paid tribute to sculptor
Viktor Schreckengost and the appro-
pirate monument he fashioned:

| tenants today.
| The eleven northern states, in
Guiding Maryland, have been allot-
ted approximately one million and a
quarter dollars for this purpose dur
ing the first two years of the pro-
grams operation. Maryland's share
last year was $41,100 for farms in

closed.
| For the current fiscal year which
began July /, an ALLEGATION of $113,-
Anne's county, the Secretary of
Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace has
designated three other counties
Charles, Frederick and Worcester
as areas where loans will be made
this year. The ALLEGATION is expected
to cover the purchase of Fl farms
in these four counties by loan re-
cipients.
Despite his youth, Dukes has had
considerable training and experience
in farming. A. high school graduate,
he specialized in agricultural cours-
es, and since his graduation he has
spent six years farming in partner
ship with his father and one year
alone. Mrs. Dukes is also high
school graduate. Both were brought
up on Queens county farms, and
have been active in All Club work.
| Dukes tenant purchase loan
will run for 40 years with interest at

based upon the income from the
farm, will average 4.3 percent an
nually.

ton will make supplementary

nine dairy cows, three calves, poul-
try and hogs. His work equipment
