Huge Crowds Declare Potters' Displuy
Is Most Popular Feature At Exhibition
News Cdmeromun Pictures
Wdre-Mdking As Big
Hit Of Show
CROWD ENTHUSIASTIC
Manager Hull Is Receiving
Many Inquiries About
Union-Mdde Ware

More than 5000 enthusiastic visitors
poured through the gates of Cincin-
nati's giant Music Hall in less than
an hour after their official opening
at p. m. Monday to view the union
made products and services on display
at the American Federation of Labor
sponsored exhibition. The larger por-
tion of the crowd milled around the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters' booth in an effort to see the
ware-making show, according to word
received from Cincinnati yesterday.
Organizer Frank Hull is managing
the Brotherhood's exhibit which fea-
lures Vice President George Turner,
casting; Marion Shively, at the throw
er's wheel; Frank Meeks, jiggering,
Henry Hull, batting out and Lillias
Craig, lining.
After the first hour of the show all
attempts to count the visitors were
given up as the crowd continued to
swell and Tuesday and Wednesday
were reported much better days than
the opener. The largest crowd how
ever, is expected Friday when Presi-
dent William Green of the American
Federation of Labor, Governor Davey,
and practically all prominent labor Of
ficials will be present.
A 10 by 25-foot sign, easily viewed
from any point in the hall, featuring
the potters' union label and the
names Of the firms with which the
Brotherhood has agreements, attracts
the throngs as they come into the hall.
Ware from the union plants is dis
played around the booth along with
the huge Warwick China set the
Brotherhood will present William
Green Friday for his services in aid
ing the opening of the national "Buy
American" campaign in East Liver
pool early in December.
The United States Potters Associ-
atoms Vocafilm is running at prac-
tically continuous pace due to the
interest of the spectators. Manager
Hull states that he and the other men
connected with the exhibit are con-
tinually asked how and where to buy
union-made pottery. He was very
optomistic when in communication

Minimum Wage for
Government Work
Potters Will Receive Not Less
Than 1874 Cents Per
Work Hour
TAKES UNION BASE
Figure Is Minimum Set BY
Brotherhood Pact In
Vitreous Plunts

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
early this month announced a mini
mum wage of 42A cents per hour for
potters working on Government orders.
Madam Secretary's full report fol-
lows:
This matter is before me pursuant
to Section l (b) of the Public Con-
tracts Act (49 Stat. 2O36). At my
direction the Public Contracts Board,
created in accordance with Section
Of the said Act by Administrative
Order dated October 6, 1896, held a
hearing on December 9, 1897, in the
above entitled matter.
r Notices of the hearing were sent
to all known members of the industry,
to labor unions, and to all known trade
associations and trade publications in
the field. Invitation to attend the
hearing was extended through the
national press to all other interested
parties. At the hearing testimony
was presented by the National Broth
erhood of Operative Potters, and by
several members Of the industry.
The Board has reviewed the testi-
mony received at the hearing and on
the basis thereof advises me as fol-
lows:
Although the notice of hearing
covered both the vitreous or vitri-
fed and the semi-vitreous or semi
vitrified branches of the industry,
these branches are in fact separate
and distinct. Each branch produces a
product different from the product Of
the other, in different factories and by
different manufacturing operations.
Only vitreous or vitrifed china is pur-
chased under government contract. By
virtue of these facts, the Boards find
ings are confined to the vitreous or
vitrified branch of the industry.
There are approximately 44O0 work.
ers in the vitreous or vitrifed branch
of the china industry and 2314 are
employed in plants which have wage
agreement with the union. The union
agreement provides a minimum of
42A cents for the largest and lowest
paid occupational group in the indus

Event In Business.
Labor World

Cincinnati (ILNS).-The big A. F.
of L. Union Label and Industrial Ex-
hibition here, all this week, was hailed
by Director-General I. NJ. Ornburn as
zone of the outstanding events in the
business, as we'll as in the labor world"
and certain to do much to maintain
and improve American wage and
working standards.
Increased purchasing power" said
Mr.. Ornburn, "is the only remedy for
business depressions. No movement
has done more to increase the Ameri-
can standards and procure higher
wages with which to maintain these
standards than the American Fedora
tion of Labor. The gravest problem
that confronts our country today is
that, in many instances many millions
of workers have reached the point of
bare subsistence. With diminishing
employment, they cannot buy the ac-
cumulated products of our accelerated
industries.
"This Union Label and Industrial
Exhibition is being given for those
employers who believe in maintaining
the fairest wages and best working
conditions. We recommend our ex-
hibitors to the consumer-public be-
cause they are the manufacturers
who are sustaining American stand
ards, helping to return their nation
to prosperity.
"And greatest of all, these union
lied industries are doing more to pre-
serve democratic institutions than any
other group Of industries.
"The American people generally, as
we'll as organized workers, owe debt
of gratitude to our union-minded ex-.
hibitors, and should prove it by always
demanding union-made merchandise.

Palermo To Promote Fights
Again This Yeur For
Committee

Teams representing East Palestine
and Sebring will fight it out on the
baseball diamond at Idora Park the
afternoon of June IL for the Potters'
"Buy American" Picnic championship.
There is a natural rivalry between
these two ceramic centers and their
teams will probably not have another
opportunity to settle the question Of
supremacy this season. Both outfits
are said to be exceptionally strong
this year.
The selection Of the fight promoter
was also made known by sports head,
Bill Watkin, at last Saturday nights
meeting of the committee. Frank
Palermo of Sebring will again arrange
the card and promises more action
than was seen on last years exception
ally popular roundup. Mr.. Palermo
is not yet able to announce his bat
tiers, but has number Of good bouts
in mind.
Secretary George Turner's purchas-
ing committee stated they bought 100
pairs of the best skates in town to
give to the children for gate prizes.
The bathing beauty winners are also

Education Director
Comes Here Mdy rs
Labor and Democracy" To
Be Spencer Miller's Topic
Wednesday, Night
COUNCIL INFORMED
Security and Unemployed
OMcidls Address the
Central Body

Speaking before the East Liverpool
Trades and Labor Council, Wednesday,
May rs, Spencer Miller Jr. has chosen
Labor and Democracy" for his sub
ject. Mr.. Miller is director Of the
Workers Education Bureau Of Amer
lea, educational branch Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. He will
discuss trends within the labor move
ment with reference to the internati-
onal situation as a whole.
Mr.. Miller had many requests from
Ohio Central Bodies, but is able to fill
only three. In addition to East Liver
pool, he will be heard in Cleveland and
Youngstown. The program is being
held in the N. B. of O. P. auditorium.
Sponsored by the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, Mr.. Miller will be
accompanied by Dewitt Huffman,
educational director of the State
Federation.
Stating that his chosen subject is
rather a broad one, Mr.. Miller said
he thought it very appropriate to dis
cuss democracy both within and with
out the labor movement.
He will describe the threat to de-
mocracy which exists at the moment
in the world, and the necessity which
rests upon the labor movement to be
one of the guardians of democracy,
and at the same time, emphasize the
demands which rest upon the labor
movement to put its own house in
order on democratic lines.
Mr.. Miller is we'll known to Ohio
labor, having appeared in speakers
role before conventions of the Ohio
State Federation Of Labor. In ad-

Four Delegates Are
Elected To Annuul
Convention By No. 4
Casters Recommend Their
Apprentice Committee
To All Loculs

At the last meeting of Local the
members voted for their choice of dele
gate to the AFL convention and also
elected four representatives to the
Brotherhood convention June 27. Will
liam Ashbaugh, Louis Pieslock, Jack
O'Malley and Clyde Stull were the
winners with Ben Bixby, George
Brunt and Fred Glynn alternates.
1t is quite important that we con-
tinue to have a large attendance at
our meetings. A number Of inter-
esting questions, coming from the To-
cal casting shops, are being discussed.
Complaints are registered every
now and then concerning the making
of some items. Longer periods of
time are used before settlements are
made than would appear necessary.
Those involved should make better
effort for early settlements.
We have, in our local, group
known as the apprentice committee
whose duty it is to investigate ques-
tionable applications for casting jobs
and to investigate those who secure
jobs where little is known of their
past casting or pressing record.
Unless it is proven beyond doubt
that these men have served their full
apprenticeship at pressing they stand
no chance of chiseling a job on the
casting bench. May we suggest other
locals adopt the same method. Two
applications are on the investigating
LIST at nraSent and ono of these men
openly AYERS that he prefers to work
in an un-organized department of a
steel mill and will go back there as
soon as the mills pick up. We hope
that is soon.
We are all looking forward to the
Potters reunion at Idora Park and
especially to winning the Packard Sc
dan. Don't forget to bring that dues

Local 1873 Members
Ready To Meet Old
Friends At Outing
Buy American" Picnic Will
Attract Potters From
MdnY Districts
TO ELECT DELEGATE
Representative To Annual
Convention Will Be
Named May Is

New Castle, PA large number
of potters here will be attending the
"Buy American" Picnic at Idora Park,
Youngstown, June II, and most Of US
are looking forward to seeing many
old friends there.
At the next regular meeting Of Lo-
cal Union No. 1873, a delegate will be
chosen to represent the local at the
annual convention. All members are
expected to be present to vote.
We still have plenty Of work before
US in the unorganized shops. Ways
and means of getting these plants in
line were discussed at the last meet
ing. Shops in Cincinnati and Perrys-
vile, with their wages far below the
living standard, are cutting prices in
their unfair war for business.
Some of the boys think high salaries
and dividends to stock holders are
necessary to keep the wheels Of in
dustry moving. Something seems to
have gone wrong with the system
somewhere. We wonder at times, when
we hear reports of the number of
working days the potters in many
places received, just how the system
can live. Going through a winter on
two and less days week, just what
products outside of food can a man
purchase? Not even as much as the
men on relief. And think of the
millions who have no jobs in this land
of plenty. There is plenty of food,
clothing, furnishings, fuel and so on
here, but you can't purchase them
without money and money comes from
jobs.

Reports that the Capital Transit
Co. next month Is to start operating IS
new street cars prompted members
Of the Park View Citizens Association

District relief appropriation OF $780,
900 to 100000 by Budget Bureau
