Ehan two hundred members of the sec

National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters assembled in the banquet hall
to celebrate their twenty fifth anniver-
sary after a short business meeting
last Friday night.
The brushers, waredressers and dip
pinghouse girls know how to celebrate
an anniversary and they know how to
appreciate loyalty. Led by LYDIA
Smith, who has held the office of presi-
dent for some forty terms herself, the
girls made it personal triumph for
Molly-the only recording secretary
the local has ever had.
In the midst of enjoying we'll pre-
pared lunch and listening to many
glowing tributes to the accomplish
ments of the local over the past quar-
ter Of a century, Molly heard Miss
Julia Bricelin praise the loyalty and
hard work of the secretary. Ending
her speech with a toast,
"You came into this world all naked
and bare,
You go out of this world-God knows
where,
If you're a good fellow here, you'll be
a good fellow there"
Miss, Bricelin presented Molly with
a bouquet of roses and gladiolas, do

A letter from the locals first presi-

Labor dnd Industry
Should Cooperate
Address Delivered at Chico
go by Matthew Woll. Vice
President A. F. Of L.
BIG GOVERNMENT
Capital. Management and
Labor Have Common
Interest

Capital, Management and Labor,
which together compose industry, have
common interest. This reflects itself
in the continuing and continuous op-
Grafton of our national economic
system. This statement needs no an
alysis, nor enlargement, unless it be
to emphasize the continuous" feature,
which is of especial interest to labor.
In the nature of things, those who
live by their labor cannot live nor
NAL life if their employment is not
regular or the conditions of their
work unsatisfactory.
If private industry is to survive
it's major purpose must be to promote
satisfactory human relations. On the
success or failure of that achievement
depends the welfare of industry, indeed
the welfare of the nation. 1t is be-
cause l believe it is possible to pro-
mote satisfactory human relations un-
der our present economic system that
| have accepted an invitation to par
ticipate in this Institute of Public
Problems. But l should like to en-
phasiZe the fact that | purpose to
speak on this subject from no partisan
standpoint. Indeed | am persuaded
that the enduring basis of cooperation
between Capital, Management and La
Dor for the promotion of these OBJ
jectives is essentially non-partisan
and non-political.
There is another reason which
prompts my acceptance of this kind
invitation. 1t is a growing concern
about what is happening in the world
today. On every hand we see nations
being projected headlong into econ
omic conflicts as we'll as theological
debates. All this seems to threaten
the peace of the world. When Muss-
olini asserted that the struggle of the
future would be between "We and
They" between the democracies on the
one hand and the relationships on the
other hand, he gave us warning of
what lies ahead.
In recent two months trip in
Europe, l have been made acutely
aware of the gravity of the present
international situation. | have OBJ
served with apprehension the forces
of conflict which everywhere seem
ready to be unleashed. While for the
moment there is appeasement east of
the Rhine, or on the Iberian PENN
sula, nevertheless there is going for
ward a program of rearmament which
is staggering in it's cost. Indeed this
program may prove to be the undoing
of every nation that is following in
that pathway.
Europe today faces either another
world war or else bankruptcy and So
cial revolution. This, it seems to me,
is the logical consequence of national
ism run riot. International cooper
alton and ideas of collective security
seem to have been forced into the
background. Every nation, large and
small, is now proceeding upon the

Ohio Progress Under Social Security

in operation in Ohio during the past
year, Mr.. Edwin V. Faulhaber, man.
ager of the Social Security Boards
office in Youngstown stated today.
Some 2,375,OOO workers in Ohio have
applied for social security account
numbers under the Federal old-age in
surance program; 1,719,O0O workers
have earned credit toward unemploy-
ment benefits under the Ohio unem-
ployment compensation law; an esti-

State are receiving Federal-State pub
lie assistance; and health and welfare
services have been extended through
out the State.
The old-age insurance program is
entirely under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Government. Participation in
the other nine programs calls for
action by the States. These are pub
lie assistance programs providing for
financial aid to the needy aged, the
needy blind, and to dependent children
unemployment compensation; services
for maternal and child health, child
welfare, and for crippled children; vo-
cational rehabilitation; and public

Kohler StrikersFirm
After Long Struggle
Silent Pickets Parade At The
Memorial In Honor OF
Two Killed In 1884

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor salutes the un-
sung heroes of labor's war against in
dustrial autocracy!
High upon labor's honor roll should
stand the names of the employees Of
the kohler Company, kohler, Wis,
who for many years have remained
on strike and refused to bow to in
dustry.
The strike was called in July, 1884,
by A. F. of L. Federal Labor Union
No. 1S545 and was characterized by
violent methods used by the company
against the union which resulted in
two union men being killed and AZ
others wounded so seriously that they
were sent to hospitals.
The following letter, received by
President William Green, tells story
of human courage and devotion to
cause that speaks for itself:
Sheboygan, Wis, August 6, 1888.
Mr.. William Green, President,
American Federation of Labor,
A. F. of L. Building, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed we are sending to you sew
eral pictures taken last Sunday, July
81, at the fourth annual memorial in
honor of Lee Wakefield and Henry
Engelmann, killed on July 27, 1884, at
kohler, Wis, in a riot provoked by
the Kohler Company.
At this fourth memorial for our de-
parted brothers several hundred men,
bers of Federal Labor Union 1S545
marched in a silent picket line past
the offices and plant Of the kohler
Company and then marched to the
picket camp where a short memorial
service was held. General Organizer
David Sigman delivered an outstand-
ing memorial address at the picket
camp.
This silent memorial picket line con-
sisted of only actual 'Kohler strikers,
with the exception of several relatives
of our slain brothers.
The memorial picket line was head
ed by the four-y -year-old daughter of
Henry Engelmann and the parents of
Lee Wakefield.
-Four years after" finds our men,
! ners still loyal and more than ever de-
termined to win this struggle against
industrial autocracy.
We are proud to be members Of the

DubinskY Forecast
AS Ndtiondl Figure
L. C. w. u. Leader in Whip
Hand Position; Ready To
Use influence

The possibility that the strife be-
tween c. |. o. and A. F. of l.. will
mold David Dubinsky, president of
the Ladies Garment Workers Union,
into an important national figure is
forecast by Will Irwin, noted political
writer, in the current Liberty maga-
zine.
Outlining the causes which led to
Dubinsky's recent threat to withdraw
his LGWU from the ClO, Irwin de-
clares Dubinsky has put himself in
the whip hand position, ready to use
the influence of his powerful union
against the evils of dual unionism.
"Dubinsky sits tight, dangling the
whip" declared Irwin. "His Execu-
tive committee has voted leaving the
C. |. o. for the present; but as to the
proposal to form into freak, self
contained rival of the A. F: of l.. they
announce meancingly that they will
retain liberty Of action The rival
camp has expelled all the unions in
the original C. |. o. except Ladies
Garment Workers, which is only
suspended 1t forms, in short bridge
to reconciliation-which was probably
Dubinsky's idea all along.
"Since three quarters of his men,
bership lives and works in New York
Dubi1isky has had little fame or pres
tige in the rest of the country. Now
events may be molding him into a
national figure" says Irwin.

Polls Opened For Voting On
Two Propositions; Cast
Your Vote

Buffalo, \. Y.-Local Union No. 7f
met in regular session Friday, August
II, with every officer present. The
attendance was the largest in many
a month. Our newly elected officers
are on their toes and are deserving
Of a packed hall every meeting night.
These meetings are the kind where
you can get results on your problems,
because you get the sentiment Of all
the members. So when you have
troubles bring them to the meetings
and let the other members help you
with them
Our shop committee has been kept
pretty busy the last few weeks. 4
thorough report Of their work was
made by Bert Clark, chairman Of the
committee. The committee is to be
commended for they certainly have
been doing a fine job and getting re-
suits.
President Duffy paid US a visit On
Monday, August and took up num-
Der of our problems with the firm. He
has promised US return visit Friday,
August l9. There will be a special
meeting held that night and every
member Of No. rs is requested to be
there.
The polls were opened to vote on the
two propositions passed at the last
convention concerning the new office
of a salaried second vice president
and 10 per cent increase for the sal
aried officers. You will still be able
to vote at our next regular meeting,
so be sure and be out to cast your
vote.
Well, it looks as though our newly
elected president, Kenneth Winters
has something on the ball, for | no
ticed the attendance of the fairer sex
was out Of the ordinary.
Brother William Blazer and Helen
Chanda were at the meeting. The boys
are all getting kind of anxious to
know when the cigars are going to be
passed out by Bill.
We are working on an average Of
two and half days a week, but things
look little brighter for the future,
as they are making alterations all
over the plant. Our old electric tun-
mel kiln is being changed into a gas
kiln. The firm expects to have it in
operation in about four to six weeks.
This kiln when completed will be used
for glost.
Our assistant foreman, Al Kohl has
severed his connections with the Buffalo
China Company and will leave for
California to take charge of the clay
shop at the Wallace China Company
Huntington Park. The boys here all
hate to see Al go, for he is we'll liked
and they know the workmen there
will be we'll satisfied with their new
boss. Good luck Al in your new job.
