The Labor Board ruled that the con-

they were invalid under the provisions
of the Labor Relations Act and order

from giving them effect.
The Edison companies and the Elec-

the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals for the Second Circuit to set
aside the Labor Boards order. The
Labor Board, supported by the C. 1.

enforce the order. The Circuit Court
granted the Boards petition. The Edi-

this is a move in the right direction

This local was honored by a visit
from President James M. Duffy. He

New Castle, Pa.-Universal SAM
tary potters can't do go much boast
ing about their bowling teams these
days. Local Union 1895 best met a
fine outfit from Local Union 81 on the
East Palestine hardwood last Satur-
day and at the end Of the three games
were behind by l52 pins. Shinn,
Quinn, Flynn and Co. overwhelmed our
boys in the last game to take the
match handily. We hope to see them
in New Castle soon for return match.
They certainly treated US to an ex-
ceptional time in East Palestine.
We would be glad to hear from any
team within forty or fifty miles from
here made up of union potters and
willing to bowl ducks. We would be
especially happy if the Ford City To-
cal would organize a team.
The potters are all looking forward
to the annual Christmas party to
which all employees have been invited
by the management. 1t will be held
Saturday night. 1t is always an en-
joyable time for everyone.
The new road leading under the B.

ing along nicely to our great delight
1t has been reported That it will Be
completed in about eight weeks time.
We certainly appreciate the news
received from the new Universal shop
in Camden. We hope we can take ad-
vantage of their kind offer to visit
them for their Christmas party.

held by Local Union No. 156 last Mon
day night. No doubt, the promise of
a report on the conference with the
company was somewhat responsible
for the record attendance. This report,
given by the shop committee, was far
from being favorable.

Entertainment Held After
Lost Meeting-To
Aid Poor

Paden City, w. Va.-The members
of Local Union No. JAG crashed in on
another red letter meeting. The busi-
ness period was taken up with some
very perplexing problems and trade
questions. There is a dispute which
arose in the decal shop between the
busters and stampers. The agreement
revolves around the refusing of these
girls to admit to membership those
who would not give up their jobs when
stamping got slack.
We held election of officers with the
following being chosen: Joseph Scott,
president; William Krebs, vice presi-
dent; Everett Smith, financial secre-
tary; Berl Henthorn, defense secre-
tary; Beatrice Price, recording secre-
tary; Kenneth Yost, treasurer. Trus-
tees, guard and inspector to be ap-
pointed by the officers.
After the meeting we had an enter
tainment. Albert Book served as
master of ceremonies, ably assisted by
Edna Armbruster. This troup of
frolic makers from Wheeling was
made up for the most part of singing,
dancing, acrobatic and musical num-
bers.
The business session and entertain
ment was very we'll received and
brought banner crowd for the season.
Mr.. Book is to be congratulated and
it is hoped that a move has begun to
stimulate better attendance at local.

Interest Shown In
: Locul l3l Meetings
Boys Realizing Importance
Of Knowing Doings
of Trade

The last meeting of Local Union
No. 13l, held December 8, was very
we'll attended and we feel that all of
the boys are now realizing the import
ance of attending their local meetings
in order to know what is going on in
their branch of the trade. We are
thankful that they are giving the To-
cal their support so we may carry on
for the greater benefit of all.
A few reports have been received
that non-union boys have been hired
and learners have been started. This
has naturally caused a great deal Of
dissatisfaction among the members.
The unemployed in our ranks should
be given break. We hope similar
reports will not be heard in the fu-
ture.
We are happy to report the i'm
provement Of Brother Orville Parsons,
who is now in sanatorium. We are
attempting to raise a fund for this
brothers benefit and know everybody
will be willing to aid. All donations
will be appreciated and accepted by
your local treasurer or the various
shop committeeman.
A few of our delinquent members
are making no effort to catch up with
their dues and assessments. You may
take this as warning that they will
be suspended the first meeting in
January.
Don't forget, we nominate officers

To Prosecute
PICKETS PROBABLE
Buy American" Committee
In Session Last Night On
Short Notice

Pickets will undoubtedly be march
ing in front of East Liverpool stores
to warn Christmas shoppers that GER
tain local managers have failed to
keep the pledges they signed with the
"Buy American" Committee of the
National Brotherhood Of Operative
Potters.
This will be in accordance with the
wishes of the committee which met on
four hours notice last night after
President James NJ. Duffy Of the n.
3. Of 0. p. had been given repeated
reports that two local stores were
having foreign labels removed in the
basement before placing the goods on
the counters for sale as American
made merchandise.
Upon a motion by Vice President
George Turner, President Duffy was
given the power to plan course of
investigation, place pickets and in the
event additional evidence is uncov-
cred, turn the matter over to the Fed
eral authorities for prosecution.
Although the short notice made
full turnout impossible, the flaming
spirit Of those present more than made
up for the lack. Of numbers. The
meeting came just one year and day
after the huge celebration here, which
saw the Brotherhood, with the assist
ance Of President William Green of
the AFL, launch the "Buy American"
movement into national waters.
Chairman George Salsberry an
nounced the reason for the meeting
and stated it was very discouraging
to see the amount Of foreign-made
goods being sold in the birth place of
the movement.
President Duffy said that if there
ever was a community relying on the
drive, it has been the center Of the
pottery industry. He explained how
the potters are the hardest hit Of all
workers by foreign competition and
the recent trade treaty has made the
situation more acute. He then told Of
the reports he had been receiving per-
sistently against one store on the
Diamond and another on Fifth street.

Policies and Principles Of A. F. Of L.
ExPounded BY Secretary Morrison
Unions Are Necessary For
Protection Of Workers.

MEMBERSHIP GAINS
Much Of Labor Legislation
Achieved Is Beneficial
To Workers

Chicago, Ill.-The fundamental poll
cies of the American Federation of
Labor and the achievements for the
workers in many fields by their appli-
cation were instructively set forth by
Frank Morrison, A. F. of L. Secretary
Treasurer, in a radio address here
broadcast by Station VIGIL.
Beginning with development of
trade union organizations as absolute
ly necessary for the protection of the
workers and advancement in their liv-
ing standards and political and civil
rights, Mr. Morrison explained in de-
tail the organization structure of the
American Federation of Labor with
it's flexible provisions for amalgama-
tion, preservation Of the rights of the
various affiliated unions, the func-
tions Of the trades departments, the
organization of mass production work.
ers and the adjustment of complica-
tions arising from overlapping indus
tries peculiar to automatic machine
production and the application of
scientific processes.
In the legislative field he enumer-
ated such measures as the Norris La
Guardia Anti-Injunction Act and the
Wagner Labor Act as definite progress
for working men and women. He
found that the administration of the
Wagner Act is not satisfactory. He
gave an account of the organization
of the secessionist and dual c. l. 0.
in 1885, and said this was not the first
time. the A. F. of L. had met such a
combination of disruptive forces.
Finally, as very plain evidence that
the workers are realizing more than
ever the validity and virility of the
American Federation of Labor and
the benefits accruing from member
ship in it, he said that since Septem-
ber 5, 1886, the membership of the
unions affiliated with the A. F. of L..
has increased 1,2170OO.
The text of Mr.. Morrison's address
follows:
A. F. of L. Policies Outlined
Policies of the trade union move

principles. They are constructive and

A.F.L. Speeds Up
Campaign Among
Textile Workers
Court Decision Is Impetus
Needed For Movement To
Swing Thousands

Washington, D. C.-Plans to accen-
tuate the militant drive to swing in
the neighborhood of a million textile
workers into unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor were
considered here at a conference which
included several former organizers
for the c. |. o. Textile Workers Or
ganizing Committee.
Joseph Sylvia, of Providence, R. l.,
who at one time was New England
organizer for the United Textile
Workers of America, after comforting
with American Federation of Labor
leaders, said:
"We are making progress towards
our objective Of bringing the United
Textile Workers into the A. F. of
L."
The American Federation of Labor
recently issued a Federal labor union
charter to a textile workers union
with 5000 members in Providence,
Rhode Island. The union comprised
eight locals banded together in the
Providence and Woonasquatucket VAL
ley WOODEN anu " OTSteu DlsIilSe
Council, formerly affiliated with the
C. |. o.
Officials estimate that about 40 for
mer locals of the United Textile
Workers have affiliated with the A.
F. of L. during the last Is months.
Mr.. Sylvia and his counsel, State
Senator Joseph J Roberts of Rhode
Island, expressed the belief that many
local unions of the United Textile
Workers would file suit against the
C. l. o. for the recovery Of dues paid
to the John L. Lewis group since
March, 1887.
They based their prediction on the
recent decision of the Rhode Island
Superior Court that the contract ex-
ecuted on March 8, 1887, by Francis
J. German, international president OF
the United Textile Workers, turning
over that organization, it's property

Minerva, O.-Howdy Folks! After a
rest, we are back in the limelight
again. The old Christmas spirit has
US and CHEEKY countenance is being
worn by all members of Local No. 70.
The outlook for the future is an
optomistic one and we feel the New
Year will bring an increase in pro-
duction.
We have had two very interesting
meetings since we last wrote you and
each has been an education in itself.
Both meetings were we'll attended and
we believe all members enjoyed them
selves.
Our local is going to have a dance!
Brother Joe Gallagher is in charge
and he promises US a, gala event. A
very good orchestra has been pro-
cured, the Morgan Cranes of Alliance,
and they are really in class by them
selves when it comes to hitting it up
for the light fantasies.
The local talent will also take some
spot light the night Of the dance. We
have some exceptional talent among
our members. The Woodward boys
are going to sing while the younger
actors will do solo numbers. Also they
are going to show US just what the
"Jitterbug" is. There will be round
and square dancing and probably some
good old fashioned waltzes. That is
all am going to tell you-buy a ticket
for twenty-five cents and come to the
dance. l am sure you will enjoy your
selves.
Last meeting night the officers were
nominated for the coming six months.
