Atlantic City, N. J. last July we
adopted resolution, coming from the
Executive Board, to spend 100000,
if the employer would provide a SIM
liar fund, for ware making demon
stration at the New York Worlds Fair
to advertise our wares. We hoped thus
to secure more steady employment
This $3O,000.O0 was paid from the
Strike Fund of the organization, which
| am sure you now realize has ac-
cumulated through the years of indus
trial peace. Grover Whalen in recent
radio broadcast spoke very favorably
about the fact that here was an indus
try where employer-employe coopera-
tion has been such that money could
be spent jointly for such a laudable
purpose rather than for destructive
strikes. This miniature pottery is now

necessary to the industry. He acclaim
ed himself as a firm believer in "Buy

every union in the country would soon
be devoting ten minutes of each meet
ing to a discussion on the subject.
In closing the meeting, Father
Walsh stated that if all union members
would carry out their pledges to buy
only union-made articles, it would not
be necessary to worry about tariff.

Industrial, rather than plant bar

labor making it important that all be
together on this point Then too, he
added, the group will not allow the
chiseling employer or the graspng en-
ploye to operate. He ended by stating
that, when we forget narrow selfish

Roosevelt, on behalf of the Bakery and

Union of America, masterpiece of
the confectioner's art as token of
good will from the workers of the

The relationship of the bakers of
the United States to the British Crown
goes back to 1890, when the Company
Of White Bread Bakers of London
were given letters patent emitting
them to coat of arms. The coat of
arms in the union label of the Bakery
Workers of America is based partly
upon this precedent. However, it is
more democratic in design because
the place of honor is given to the tools
of the bankers trade instead of to the
trappings of knighthood.

Auto Union Charter
Restored by A. F.
Green Says the Reaffilidted
Union Has Complete
Autonomy

Washington, D. Civilian Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, presented the restored A. F.
of l.. charter Of the International
Union United Automobile Workers of
America to Homer Martin, president
of the International Union, at the
headquarters of the A. F. of L. here
on June 6.
Mr.. Martin, accompanied by Fred
Durance, George Kiebler and Peter G.
Noll, members of the Automobile
Workers Executive Board, came to
Washington from Detroit to receive
the charter following q referendum of
the unions members in which out of
70,364 votes cast, 66,768 favored re-
affiliation and 1910 opposed.
Green's Statement
In announcing the restoration of the
charter, Mr.. Green issued the follow
ing statement:
"The United Automobile Workers
Union, as represented by President
Homer Martin and his associates
voted to come back home to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. The vote
was most decisive, as we'll as signifi-
cant.
"In conformity with the decision Of
the United Automobile Workers
Union, the original charter Of affilia-
ton was returned and that means the
United Automobile Workers, as rep
resented by Mr. Homer Martin and
his associates, have again become af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor.
Complete Autonomy Granted
"With the return of this American
Federation of Labor charter to the
International Union United Automo-
bile Workers Of America goes full
and complete grant of absolute auton-
omy in the administration and con-
troll Of the organization. Thus, self
government and self-determination on
the part Of the officers and members
Of the United Automobile Workers
will be substituted for dictatorship
and domination from outside sources.
"This restored United Automobile
Workers. Union will be self-govern-
ing body. This rule will be applied in
the formulation and execution Of its
administrative policies.
"There are strong indications that
thousands of automobile workers, who
resent being used in the furtherance
of revolutionary subversive pro-
Gram will hecome identified with this
rebuilt American Federation of Labor
Automobile Workers. Union.
Sanctity of Contracts Emphasized
"They wish to become identified
with movement which emphasizes
the virtue and value of collective bar
gaining, the religious observance Of
contracts negotiated through collective
bargaining, and the substitution of
stability for chaos and uncertainty in
industrial relationships.
"The American Federation Of Labor
regards contracts entered into be-
tween employers and employees as
sacred and binding, calling for the
observance of every provision Of the
contract entered into. We are unal-
terably opposed to a policy of de-
ception wherein workers are called
upon to violate contracts honorably
entered into in order to further the
cause of some peculiarly destructive
political and economic philosophy.
"All automobile workers who wish
to come home to the House Of Labor
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-06-15

and become a part of the American
Federation of Labor will be accorded
a warm and hearty welcome"
At his press conference Mr.. Green
stated that all matters of jurisdiction
in connection with the United Automo-
bile Workers Union had been satis-
factorily adjusted.

sections of the country to become the recognized aircraft manufac- turing centers, result which might lead to an exodus of the industry from New England MT. Williams emphasized the rapid gains in en- ployment expected in aviation in the next ten years and urged active ef- forts to keep New England in the forefront of aircraft production as a means of replacing industries that have moved away from New Eng land.
 Officers of United Aircraft Cor poration reported that more than 50 industrial concerns, newly seeking to become suppliers of parts, produc- tion equipment or materials, have contacted its engineering and pur- chasing departments since the first meeting of the aeronautical develop ment commission.
 The commission, also, heard a re- port from its subcommittee on the civilian pilot training program spon- sored by the Civil Aeronautics Au- thority. This committee has been seeking to encourage active partici- patton in this program by the col leges and universities of the state. It is Investigating the possibility of participation by other educational institutions, such as trade or voca- tional schools, under the legislative provision that 5qo of the enrollees shall be non-college students. The age limits are IS to 9 years.
 More Approvals
 Since the commission was ap- pointed Stratford Junior college at Stratford and Teachers college at New Britain have been approved by the Civil Aeronautics Authority and are making plans for the ground school and flying training called for in the program.
 Other colleges have submitted their applications to participate or are considering such action. In some cases, decisions are awaiting the arrival of a representative of the Civil Aeronautics Authority for joint discussions with college au- thorities and flying school operators. Last week Chairman Williams of the commission sent request to the Authority in Washington to expedite the visit of such a representative, supporting previous request made by Commissioner Morris of the state department of aeronautics. Courses given by educational in- stitutions, which participate in the program, must start by November l and be finished by June 15.

State Interest In
 Aeronautics Revived
Over 200 Manufacturers Reply to Questionnaires Sent
 Out By Connecticut Commission

Hartford, Oct. Affecting here, this morning, the Connecticut Aero nautical Development Commission heard reports of the activities of two sub-committees appointed at its first meeting a month ago, botE of which indicated that the commits sionS objective Of awakening state wlsae interest in aeronautics has made effective and rapid progress ir the seven weeks since the ap- pointmnts were announced by Gov- ernor Baldwin in August
 The subcommittee on industrial development related to aircraft pro- duction, reported that over POO manufacturers had replied to ques- tionnaires sent out for the commiS- sion by the Manufacturers Asso- citation of Connecticut. Of these, about 40 per cent make materials, parts or accessories for aviation manufacturers at present. Of the re- maining 60 per cent, 8 large ma jority expressed interest in the mar ket for such parts and accessories. In consequence, United Aircraft cor poration will cooperate with the commission in the preparation of in- I 'mation e ncerning typical pur- chases made by engine and aircraft makers from other manufacturers. It is expected that this data will be available for consideration at the commissions next regular meeting together with a complete analysis of the replies to the questionnaires.
 Speeds Up Production
 Harvey L. Williams of Greenwich, chairman of the commission, said: We understand that the war de- partment Is encouraging manufac- turers of aircraft engines, airplanes and aviation accessories to lean more heavily on general industry fer finished parts and other ma terial. This cian is expected to speed up the production of aviation indus try and offers an opportunity to Connecticut manufacturers equipped to undertake such work. We have in Connecticut large body of skill ed workmen as well as many young men who have been brought up in thc atmosphere of precision manu- featuring and pride of workmanship qualities, that are essential to suc- cessful production of parts or ac- ceSSories for the aviation industry. This business fits our manufacturing traditions, ou- labor and, often, our factory equipment. It is gratifying to see such an interest in the op- portunity that is offered by the growth of aircraft production"
 Recently, MT. Williams and E. E. Wilson, vice president of United Air craft Corporation addressed the 56th quarterly meeting of the New England council where both stressed the suitability of aviation manufac- turing to New England and urged greater interest in the industrys progress.

FASHION SALONS CARRY ON

As men have been gradually called to arms from the agricultural dis tricts, women have taken their places, as quietly and uncomplain- ingly as their sisters in the cities. Grey-haired, gnarled old peasant women who saw their men go to war over twenty years ago, work side by side with the younger gen., eration.
 In all the churches, at the fash ionable Madelaine as well as the humble suburban churches, women are to be seen praying. Working girls will come in for a few minutes taken from their lunch-hour and kneel beside the elegante.
 Yet life goes on, apparently little disrupted by the war. The elegant salons of the rue re. la Paix, the Place Vendome and the Eau bourg Saint Honore are carrying on as usual. Regularly every afternoon the glamorous mannequins prepare to show the collection of clothes which, for all they know, French women will never have a chance to wear.

Organized
 And Ready When War Broke Out
By RosETTE HARGRovE

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Paris-The women of France are helping.
 Amid the direst calamity, which modern warfare represents, they are doing what they can to help their men win the war There is no ela- tion; no cheering; no sending the soldiers to the front with flowers On their bayonets and in their "kepis" as in August, 1914. Instead a quiet, but very grim determination can be read on the faces of every man and woman.
 Over eighty thousand women in the Parisian area alone have re- ported for active service" and mo- bilized by various organizations in connection with passive defense" of the country. This comprises the taking care of children, evacuation, sanitary work and the manifold ac tivities open to women in modern war.
