week those interested in improving the
Government service should intensity
their drive to extend the Civil Service
System. This cause should be of par
ticular interest to Government work
ers who are themselves benefited
thereby. They should realize that
Civil Service gives them secure tenure,
protects them from being made the
pawns of changing administration and
affords them retirement annuities and
opportunity for transfer.
81 therefore urge all Government
workers to take part in the celebration
Of Civil Service Week and attend the
mass meeting called by the American
Federation of Government Employees
which will be held next Monday night,
January 16, in the Department of La
boz Auditorium"
A feature of the Civil Service Week
celebration this year is the Labor
Parade" Civil Service broadcast, pre-
pared for the American Federation of
Labor, and made especially in the in
terest of Government employees and
the Civil Service. The Labor Pa
rade' is broadcast from large num-
ber of radio stations in all parts of the
country. The date of the broadcast
can be ascertained from the radio
stations themselves.

bration of his birthday, it is fitting
that Labor should put on an extensive
campaign in an effort to eradicate this
crippling disease.
All locals have in their possession
the blanks used in this campaign.
President Duffy urges all local leaders
to renew their efforts to obtain the
signatures and dimes Of their members
quickly so they can be sent to the
capital in time to be presented to the
chief executive on his birthday. He
also reminds the leaders that an ac
counting should be sent to him at
Headquarters.
The fact that there is an additional
way in which Labor can help in this
great drive should not be overlooked,
added President Duffy. By saving
your union-made cigarette coupons
this month, more money can be raised.
Coupons found on the backs Of all
packages Of Raleigh, Kool and Vice
roy cigarettes, if sent to Labor Di-
vision, Committee for Celebration of
Presidents Birthday, Carpente S
Building, Washington, d. c., can be
cashed at three-fourths Of cent each.
The idea is adopted from case in
Milwaukee in which union members
and their friends saved the coupons
and with the proceeds purchased an
artificial leg for crippled girl.
If the idea could be made to help
SO well in one city for one little girl,
why not generally for many victims,
was the question asked by the Labor
Division.
This division, through President
Duffy, urges members of the~Brother-
hood to put box in every union
meeting room to receive the coupons.
Let's see how many can be saved.

No Change In 1889
Security Rdte of Tax

There is no change in the 1889 rate
Of the tax which is imposed for old
age insurance under the Social Sc
curity Act. This statement was made
today by Mr.. Edwin V. Faulhaber,
manager Of the Social Security Board
field office in the Erie Terminal Build
ing in Youngstown, Ohio.
"Thc rate this year is the same as
it was in 1887 and 1885," Mr.. Faul-
haber said.
workers contribute one percent of
their pay in jobs which are covered
by the old-age insurance plan, up to
a maximum Of 5000 a year for any
one job. Employers are taxed like
amount for each covered worker"
Taxes for the final quarter Of 1898
are payable not later than January
81 at the office of the United States
Collector of Internal Revenue in Clevc-
land, Ohio" Mr.. Faulhaber added.

working under them. Defiance and
arrogance marked them when they ap-
peared at the Regional Board hearing
in Indianapolis, over which Mr.. Cow
drill presided. They displayed reck-
less disregard for the provisions of
the Federal law and the natural law
of kindness toward fellow men.
Not less than a half-dozen times
accord had apparently been brought
about through the efforts of Mr.. Cow
drill, which was to be followed by vol
untary understandings between the
two parties, only to be followed by
every possible delay on the part of
the firm. With unmistakable intent to
heap every conceivable suffering and
misery on the striking members and
their families, the officials of the firm
refused to meet the issue.
A decision by the Board last August
26, definitely ordered the company to
return all men to their jobs and fur
ther instructed the firm to give the
men back pay from August, 1886 to
the time of the decision.
The naughty attitude of the COM
pany was again apparent as they re-
quested reopening of the case in
Washington. This was just one more
way to delay.
The appeal for a complete reopen
ing of the case which would set aside
the decision of the Regional Board and
review proceedings of the past -four
years before the n. l.. r. B. in Wash
ington was held in that city last Tues
day, with both Williams and Welsh
making eloquent pleas for a reopen
ing.
Opposing this action was Herman S
Thatcher, .AFL Washington attorney
President James M. Duffy, First Vice
President E. l.. Wheatley, l.. U. No
26 members Won Cannon and McCar-
ter.
The fact that the firm had INDUCED
in tactics of delay all through the his,
tory of the case was not lost on Chair
man Madden. He allowed the repre-
sentatives of the firm to know that
this aspect of the case alone was
cHOuSu W SllOW cNluSilCS Ol Udu ldlII
and intimated that the men had not
been accorded fair play in this con.
nection.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Chairman Madden made his bid fol
reconciliation by advising the repre-
sentatves of both sides to get together
in an effort to reach an understanding
while he stood ready to assist in any
possible way. While the Brotherhood
officials and committee were ready tc
follow this advice, the representatives
of the kokomo Sanitary Pottery Co
were not inclined to show interest.
While awaiting the decision Of the

A lot Of our people visited the Ger

the report certainly sounds favorable.
SO the outlook for the potters looks
bigger and better for the coming year.
| see by the Scio paper that big
enterprising concern of Lou Reese's
paid a Christmas bonus. Well per-
sonally, would rather have my bonus
on my pay check every pay day in the
form of union wages than a slice of
Rcese's blood money. A dictatorship
such as he has set up in Scio makes
trade unionist see red. The article
didn't mention that the store owners
who dished out the money to start
the plant are the ones getting their
noses pulled now since the company
owned stores in operation. But good
for them if they did not have the fore
sight to stipulate that union potters
should be employed.
1t is funny that a fellow with one
suit could buy surrounding property
and move his family there. Although
ne received his education of the
trade through the channels of trade
unionism under the banner of the n.
b. Of O. F., he positively refuses to
allow his people the right to organ
ize. He even takes from them the
rights to be good citizens!
| only hope our people see the need
of pushing forward with organization
work. There is fertile field here
and it is necessary that the work be
done. Let's hope 1889 is a bigger and
better organization year, resulting in
even stronger brotherhood.

Congressman Will
Heur From L. u. IS
Will Demand Excise Tax Be
Imposed On All For
eign Goods

Trenton, N. Local Union No. 35
got off to a very good start this year.
The extremely cold weather did hold
the attendance down, but the interest
that was taken in the problems per-
tanning to the trade, more than made
up for the small attendance.
A word to the wise should be suffi-
cient, so those of you who are behind
in dues and assessments take heed.
Drastic action is going to be taken by
the local within the next few weeks.
There is going to be determined
effort to compel everyone working at
the Scammell shops to join the hos
pital fund. 1t is our belief that some
have been receiving the benefits of
disqualification without donating the
twenty-five cents a month necessary.
This is very small sum for the great
benefits which come at a time when
money is scarce.
We were glad to hear that Fifth
Vice President Alex Young has start
ed to work again. 1t is our hope he
will have steady work after such a
long period of idleness. The local is
proud that Brother Young not only
attends his own local meetings, but all
those Of the other locals in Trenton.
He has always been very active in the
work of the Brotherhood.
Our recording secretary has been
instructed to write to all congressman
demanding them to impose an excise
tax on all unfair foreign-made prod
ucts. We believe that if this should be
accomplished, the American worker
will have steady employment and be
able to provide living for his family
as an American should.
We wish to congratulate our audit
ing committee for the fine work they
accomplished. They made very
thorough examination. This commit
tee was composed Of Elvin Applegate,
William Kurtz and M. j. Carolan.
There was quite an interest shown
in the nomination of national officers.
This is healthy sign, proving the
members are interested in the affairs
of the organization.-O C. 35.

Prospects Under
Director Winunf
4 Former Governor Of New
Hampshire and Social Sc
curitY Head Leader

Geneva, Switzerland.--On January
/, 1889, an American, for the first
time, became the Director of the In
ternational Labor Office. He is John
G. Winant, former chairman of the
United States Social Security Board.
Mr. Winant was elected to the>direc-
torship last June by the governing
body of the LILO after Director Harold
b. Butler of England had announced
his intention of resigning at the close
Of the current year.
Mr. Butler, who was elected director
in 1882, after the death of Albert
Thomas of France, became the head
Of a new college of social research en-
dowed recently at Oxford University
by Lord Nuftield.
Mr. Winant first came to the ILO as
an assistant director in April 1885.
However, at the request of President
Roosevelt, he left for the United
States in October of the same year to
head the newly-created Social Sc
curity Board. After his resignation
from the board, late in 1886, he return
ed to Geneva and again became an as
sistant director of the lLO.
Born in New York City, Feb. %,
1889, Mr.. Winant was educated at St.
Pauls School in Concord, n. H., and
at Princeton University. In 1917, and
again in 1923, he served as a member
Of the New Hampshire State Assembly
and in 1921 as member of the New
Hampshire State Senate. In 1924 he
was elected Governor of New Hamp-
shire.
His reelection as Governor, in 1880,
broke a one-term precedent for the
governorship that had existed in the
State for more than 100 years. In
1892, he was elected Governor for a
third term.
Soon after the United States entered
the World War, Mr.. Winant enlisted
in the Air Service. He served over
seas and rose to the rank of captain.
Mr.. Winant's services as Chairman
Of the Textile Inquiry Board during
the textile strike of 1884 in the United
States, won him wide recognition, as
did the services he rendered as the
first Chairman of the Social Security
Board
The international Labor Office is
the permanent Secretariat of the In
ternational Labor Organization, which
was established III 1919 and now has
z membership Of sixty nations, includ-
ing the United States.

"Fifth, the public is asked to coop

Mr.. Vandeleur cited numerous Incl
dents where promoters had mulcted
unions, their members and friends,
business and professional men, and
others. A racket during the holiday

wives and kiddies of unemployed
