All locals paying their officers, if

| per cent deducted from the amount
paid by the union to its officers and
employees The tax applies to part

turn, credited by the Social Security
Board to the old-age insurance ac-
counts of such officers and employees.
Taxes for the quarter ending June
80 must be paid by July 81 to avoid

Tuking Long Plunge
In Mountains
NO ONE INJURED

Louis Peislock, William Watkin and
Clyde Stull narrowly escaped serious
injury and probable death last Satur-
day in the mountains outside of Bed
ford while returning from the conven-
ton. A light rain, making the roads
combined with smooth
tires caused Peislock's car to skid in
to the guard rail. Three posts were
knocked down and only the guide wire
saved the car from going over the edge
of the mountain. None were hurt.
Before reaching Bedford, the party
was tagged down by state police
man who asked them to send out a
wrecker to tow away two badly dam
aged cars. This was done and they
had not gone more than six miles when
they needed the services of the wreck
er themselves. Delegates from Sc
bring came along and picked up the
brothers, but Pieslock decided to stay
with his car. He Immediately traded
it in for new one.

Plans Approved for

nO Committee Room To Be
Dedicated To Memory Of
Late Labor Leader
WALL TAKES PLANS
Room Will Be Show Place
Of Geneva. Says AFL
Vice President

Geneva, Switzerland. - Plans for
decorating and furnishing the Com
pers Memorial Room-a committee
room in one Of the new wings of the
international Labor Office building
that will be dedicated to the memory
Of the late Samuel Gompers-have
just been approved by Director Harold
=. Butler Of the ILO, and by Director
elect John G. Winant who will sue
ceed Mr.. Butler when his resignation
takes effect next Autumn.
The plans were brought to Geneva
by Matthew Vol, Vice President of
the American Federation Of Labor. All
expenses involved will be borne by the
Federation, and Mr.. Woll declared
that it was the Federation's intention
to make this room not only fitting
memorial to our departed leader, but
one of the show places of Geneva"
The principal feature Of the decora-
tions will be painted frieze, which
will occupy the upper portion of each
wall. The frieze will be executed by
Dean Cornwell Of New York, a we'll
known mural painter, and will depict
the fraternity of international labor,
the development of the arts, and the
development Of various crafts in agri-
culture, commerce and industry. Be-
low the frieZe, the room will be pan
eled in polish walnut; and on one side,
will hang laryes portrait of~-Mn.
Gompers in oils.
Like the paneling, the furnishings
of the room will be of polished wal
nut. They will comprise large COM
mittee table and chairs. The table, a
copy of the one now in use in the Con-
ference Room of the L. S. Depart
ment of Labor, will be of the "iron-
ing board" type, so-called from its pc
culiar oblong shape which enables
those seated at the head to see every
one on either side.
Although the United States did not
become a member of the Internati-
onal Labor Organization until 1884
Mr.. Gompers played a prominent
role in its creation. He was Chair
man of the Commission for Internati-
onal Labor Legislation which, at the

to the question of the organizational
status Of trade unionism and trade
union responsibility.
professor Felix Frankfurter, an
outstanding educator whom | regard
as a great philosopher, economist, and
recognized legal authority, made
most significant statement short
time ago which directly bears upon
this question He declared:
Maintenance of our democratic So
ciety and the promotion Of the good
life for the body of our people are
indissolubly linked with a united, re-
sponsible, disciplined, and generously
inspired organization of wage earn
ers.'
"This point of view so convincingly
expressed by Professor Frankfurter is
pretty generally accepted now.
Right to Organize is Won
collective bargaining is the logical
outcome of organization. We must
first have organization before we can
have collective bargaining.
"The fight for the recognition OF
the principle of organization and col
lective bargaining has been won. 1t
was the climax to the struggle of the
workers over long period of years
for public as well as governmental rec
ognition of the right to organize ano
bargain collectively.
working men and women who
possessed consciousness of theil
right to organize fought increasingly
and uncompromisingly for the public
recognition of that right. 1t was re
allied when that principle was writer
into the National Labor Relation:
Act, which is now part Of the Law
of the land.

employers of labor should now ad
lust themselves to this new legal ant
economic policy. Working men an'
women should be free and should b.
accorded the right to enjoy the eco

The important contribution made by
working women to the industrial life
of the United States is not generally
realized by the public, which frequent
ly lacks adequate statistical inform
alton regarding Americas women toll
ers.
From the relatively small number
of 2,647,157 gainfully employed
women in 1880 out Of total working
population of 17,392,O99, the U. S.
Census Bureau reports that in 1880
the number of women workers had
increased to 10,752,116 out of total
gainfully employed population of 49,
829,92O.
Standing on the census statistics
that % per cent of the workers who
toll for the benefit of those who own
and operate the means for the pro-
duction and distribution of wealth in
the United States are women, Miss
Mary Anderson, director Of the
Women's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor since it's establishment
as statutory bureau in 1920, in an
address before the 1887 convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
stressed the fact that collecting and
making available reliable information
regarding the conditions under which
women workers are employed is one
of the essential functions of the
Women's Bureau, and disclosed that

new "wayside industry" developed tt

Functions of Women's Bureau
"The Womens Bureau, when it was

tions women are employed. We have
been trying to do that now for num-
ber of years, and the information that
we have been gathering has been used
continually by the trades union move
ment in setting standards and in
knowledge Of what the women work
ers were doing, the wages they were
receiving and the conditions they were
employed under. That information is
always at your service.

The Forty-Sixth Annual Convention
Of the National Brotherhood of Oper-

Jefferson hotel, came to close at five
O'Clock last Friday afternoon after the
delegates had deliberated for ten days
on the large number of resolutions
submitted by the various local unions
OF the trade.
Those resolutions which were adopt
ed to go before the manufacturers in
the coming conference have been pre-
pared for the printers by Secretary
Treasurer McGillivray in order that
they may be presented to the members
of the United States Potters Associ-
alton when they meet July 20 at Con-
gress Lake.
Two other propositions must await
the action of the trade before the final
result will be known. One calls for a
ten per cent increase in wages for the
present salaried Offices, president, first
vice president, secretary-treasurer and
organizer. The second proposition,
which will go to the vote of the en-
tire trade, will, if favorably acted upon
in referendum, create the new salaried
office of second vice president. The
present vice presidents, with the ex
ception Of the first, would step down
one, making total of eight.
If the position is created, the office
will be filled through an appointment

the running.

Fair and the potters proposed partici-
patton in it, looked to be certain win

Wheatley, among others, pointed out
the extremely high cost connected to
weeks stay in New York, however,
and also the fact that the Fair would

convention hall and hotels. These
facts, coupled with the knowledge
that the delegates at next years con-
vention could attend the Fair in body
from Atlantic City, swung the election
back to the popular summer resort.
The work of the delegates and natl
onal officials cannot be praised too
highly. With record number Of res
olutions to be considered, they went
about their work thoroughly and
speedily. The chairman of the various
committees paid tribute to the fine
workmanship displayed by the mem
bers and congratulated them for big
job we'll done.
The convention ended with a few
remarks by all the officials.
