Of Labor Union Label Trades Depart
ment. '& ', 3i
A Union Label campaign has already
been started among the merchants in
every city to stock up with union-made
goods. A more intensive drive will be
made during the month Of December.
The retail sales during this month are
greater than at any other time dur
ing the year.
Labor unionists intend to take ad-
vantage of holiday business by encour-
aging all consumers to buy products
bearing the Union Label and patronize
firms that use union services. 1t is
the best guarantee that merchandise is
made in America and under standard
Union Labor conditions.
While members of Labor Unions
continually urge the consuming public
to buy Union Label products, Mr.. Orn-
burn said:
"The Union Label Trades Depart
ment is especially desirous of building
up Union Label trade during the holi-
day shopping season. Many practical
and useful gifts can be purchased that
are made under union conditions. The

Excise Tax and Education PROGRAM
Seen As Recovery Aids BY President
BUY American" Campaign.
Government Protection
Needed. Says Duffy
FORT WAYNE RALLY
Brotherhood OHiciul Spedks
At Allen County Labor
Club Meeting

Speaking at the great "Buy Ameri-
can" celebration, staged by the Allen
County Labor Club in Fort Wayne
last Monday night, President James
M. Duffy Of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters told his audience
that two steps must be taken to aid
the American workers. He stated the
people must be educated to "Buy
American" and legislation must be
secured to protect them. This latter
would be in the form of an Excise Tax
through which our government would
collect the difference between the
landed costs of the products of foreign
labor and similar goods manufactured
here and sent to the markets.
President Duffy's address follows:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow workers:
1t is indeed privilege to be honored
with an invitation to address this vast
body Of American citizens, called to-
gether for the patriotic purpose of
promoting much needed job opportuni-
ties for our millions of unemployed
American workers.
In behalf of the millions of America s
organized workers, members of Natl
onal and International Unions, affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor, l wish to express to you their
gratitude for your efforts to promote
job opportunities for our millions of
unemployed workers and to protect the
jobs of those now employed by pre-
vailing on all Americans to purchase
only the products of Americas work.
ers.
During the past ten days the news
papers have featured the closing Of
some plants resulting in workers be-
inc deprived of jobs because their
heartiess employers refused to comply
with the Wage and Hour law and pay
to their workers a minimum wage Of
25c an hour for "a hour week.
However, from what tabulations 1
have been able to make, the total num-
ber of workers temporarily deprived
of their jobs by the Wage and Hour
law will be less than 100000.

Wy oulV ANCWo
Cincinnati, O.-Published arguments
by the proponents of an amendment
to the Ohio constitution providing for
appointment instead of election of the
judiciary, were attacked as shame
fully misleading" by Hamilton County
Common Pleas Judge Stanley Struble
last Friday, in an open letter address,
ed to two prominent members Of the
Ohio Bar Association who were CO.
drafters of the argument.
The letter called upon Hugh L.
Nichols, Batavia, former Chief Justice
of the Ohio Supreme Court, and Robert
N. Wilkin, New Philadelphia, former
Associate Justice of the high tribunal ,
to publicly renounce misstatements
and untruths" in the arguments.
"You gentlemen are former judges
of the Supreme Court of Ohio and
stand high among the citizenry of
Ohio as jurists, lawyers and citizens
and would not, feel, consciously en-
gage in an attempt to mislead the con-
fiding people of Ohio" Judge Struble's
letter read in part.
"Yet as members of the committee
which prepared the Argument for the
amendment for an appointive judiciary
you subscribed your names to state
ments which are shamefully mislead-
ing and in some ways untrue.

of the misstatements and untruths in
this Argument, and call upon you
gentlemen for public remuneration of
these misstatements and untruths.

MOP Officials Confer With Jones,
Reconstruction Finance Corp. Head
Green Accompanies Duffy
and McGillivruY In
Conference
OFFICIALS PLEASED
Expressions of Jones Very
Favorable For Future
Policy of R. &c.

The promise made to President
James NJ. Duffy by William Green at
the recent American Federation of
Labor convention was kept yesterday
when President Duffy and Secretary
Treasurer John D. McGillivray were
called to Washington for a meeting
with Jesse Jones, Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation chairman.
President Green accompanied the
Brotherhood officials to the important
conference with the RFC head and his
counselors on the Board to discuss
the detrimental effects to the wage
standards of the pottery workers cov-
cred by collective bargaining agree
ments brought about by the birth of
new concerns in the already over
crowded industry. These plants are
being built, in the main, through the
Use Of federal moneys loaned by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
All aspects of this adverse situation
were discussed in detail, resulting in
a very favorable expression from
Jesse Jones regarding the future
policy of the RFC in such matters.
President Green was extremely help
full in bringing to the attention Of
these officials the effects on the wages
of organized workers brought about
by the indiscriminate loaning of money
to "fiy by night" companies.
President Duffy stated that he was
certain the meeting would result in
more complete opportunities for Broth
erhood officials to be informed about
any such Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration loans for pottery concerns.
Both he and Mr.. McGillivray were we'll
pleased with the outcome of the meet
ing.
After supporting his resolution from
the floor Of the convention, President
Duffy was assured by Chairman Green
that early action would be taken. He
stated: ~ feel justified in assuring
President Duffy that, inasmuch, as this
resolution was referred to the Execu-
tive Council, we shall give it priority
and preference. We will take it up
as quickly as possible"

Affected by the fund exhaustion are

allowances for travelling expenses

said that the Departments funds were

Extra Expense

Appointment of a paid commits
sion or commissioner OF traffic safety
for Washington was approved last
night by the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association.
Six citizens associations previous
" have opposed such a commission.
Action was taken after Adelbert
w. Lee, president of the association,
told the group:
1.-The expenses thus enta1led would
not increase our taxes. The COM
missioner's salary would be drawn
from the revenue derived from the
gasoline tax, which we would pay
anyway. The appointment would be
no reflection on existing traffic au-
thorities, but would aid the func-
lions of the law In prosecuting Of
tenders and preventing accidents. In
my opinion the proposal is well
worth trial"
Favors Pedestrian Control.
The association favored some
method Of pedestrian control as
means to cut the number OF traffic
accidents. More rigid enforcement
Of existing laws was asked, along
with the enactment of legislation to
prevent "jaywalking" and to pro-
vide fine or jail sentence for Of
Tending pedestrians.
A renewal of the fight to change
the name of the new Pennsylvania
Avenue Bridge, now under construc-
ton on the site of the old bridge,

was voted by the association. Mr..
Lee was instructed to appoint a
committee whose function will be to
interest members of Congress In
introducing bill providing the
change in name.

the association to adopt means OF
