The excellent weather has been a
great aid to Local Union No. 1873. The
attendance has increased nicely while
the payment Of dues has jumped ac-
cordingly. Although the brothers seem
to be taking their financial obligations
seriously on the whole, we did have
three members we were forced to sus-
pend last meeting night.
1t would certainly be appreciated if
those brothers who can would drop
in to see Ed. Davis at the home Of his
son Earl, BIT Lincoln avenue. Brother
Ed. is former member of Local 8 and
one of the oldest members of the
Brotherhood.
Don't forget next Thursday night,
brothers. We vote for our national
officers at that time. Let's turn out
strong to support the men we believe
will continue to lead the Brotherhood
to great heights. .'a

Division Activity
Almost $4,000 In Back PuY
Secured For Restaurant.
Hotel Workers

Columbus, O.-First quarterly re-
port of James p. Walsh, Jr., superin-
tendent of the division of minimum
wage of the Ohio Department Of In
dustrial Relations, reveals increased
activity in the enforcement of the
minimum wage law since January |,
1889.
During the three month period end
| ing April /, the division secured $9,-
863.96 in back wages due employees in
the dry cleaning, laundry, food and
lodging industries, in which manda-
tory orders designating minimum
wages are in force
OF this total sum, $9,465.43 was OBJ
tained for 2O2 employees in ia estab-
lishments in the food and lodging in
dustry, embracing all hotels and res
taurants.
A total of 1894 SO was obtained for
10 employees in dry cleaning estab-
lishments, and $34.O0 back wages was
secured for employees in four laundry
establishments.
Since the first of the year, 1882 in
vestigationS have been made by the
small force of field representatives of
the division, and their activities are
reflected in increased compliance and
payment of back wages.
Fifty-four cases have been taken to
court, % criminal actions being filed
and 81 civil actions for recovery of
back wages undertaken.
Increased cooperation of local courts
and officials in prosecutions and en-,
forcement of the minimum wage law
has been effected, largely through the
assignment of A. w. Galloway, an as.
sistant Attorney General, to the divis.
ion to assist in prosecutions.
Mrs. Marie Amarose, Columbus, op
orator of chain of dry cleaning es
tablishments in number Of cities
throughout the state, was found guilty
in Dayton police court of failing tc
pay the minimum wage required by
law, and was fined $780,
Two of four employers hailed into

lations of the minimum wage law en-

Walsh reports. Sentence of the two
was deferred until May II, when tn,

Grafton To Elect
Next Regular Meet
Picnic Buick Is Expected To
Park In Grafton After
June 10th

Grafton, w. Va.-Many sad glance
has been cast in the direction of the
glost kiln shed during the past three
weeks, especially by the old timers
due to the tearing down of the up
right kilns which have given way to
the tunnel kiln. To those on the out
side it might appear as though the
plant is being torn down completely
but such is not the case, as work is
still much better than in 1937-38.
This fact can best be attested to by
the new cars one sees in evidence
Ching Rupp is sporting new Pontiac
where once he drove a Chevrolet and
Hook Glover has stepped from the
Ford class into the Dodge bracket
a Chevrolet. However, Brother Ed
Kirby takes all honors when it comes
to getting new cars. During the last
two years Ed has had eight cars in
cluding Dodges, Bucks, Grahams
Oldsmobiles and now he has finally
ended up with new Studebaker. Sc
if anyone is thinking of purchasing a
new car, | would suggest that they
consult Ed before buying and he will
give them the low down on the various
four wheelers.
Speaking of automobiles, we have
received the tickets on the car to be
given away at the picnic. We hope
that after the picnic is over some
member of this local will be sporting
a new Buick. We can't always lose
Our meetings have been poorly at
tended, especially on the ladies' side
We would like to see more representa-
ton from the kiln departments, glost
and bisque ware rooms. The clay shop
and decorating shop, with one man
from the dipping room and two from
the kiln shed have been bearing the
load of the local for sometime. Since
several heads are better than a few
we invite one and all to our next
meeting at which time national Off
GERS will be elected, as well as a dele
gate to the 1889 convention. So every
one come out and support your fav-
orites.
Brother Erston Weaver has left for
North Carolina where he will enter a
sanatorium for treatment. We wish
him the best of luck and a complete
recovery in a short time.
Brother w. r. Sheets has been ap-
pointed representative for the Central
w. Va. Hospital Association in this
plant and anyone wanting hospital in
surance will be taken care of by con-
tacting Brother Sheets.
With trout season opening in w. Va
on April 80, several local boys have
made extensive preparations for that
day, even going to the point of get
ting subs for their jobs so they will
not be denied the first days catch.

New Castle Workers Urge
Manufacturers Bargain
Collectively

New Castle, Pa.-With all of the
sanitary shops moving every piece OF
ware they are able to produce, it would
seem it is time the workers received q
raise in wages. The selling price is
better and the men should profit by
the building boom which is keeping
the various plants busy.
We hear that the impending wal
might bring harm to sanitary, but the
manufacturers in this branch of the
industry has encountered plenty of
war and should not fear little more
Here is an industry with no foreign
competition and extremely little COM
petition from firms using clay substi-
tutes. The cooperation Of the skilled
workmen is given freely to do almost
the impossible in pronouncing high
quality ware and yet we are not bene-
fitting.
A bonus was once paid for improv-
ing the ware and this system must
have paid dividends because great
strides have been made in the past ten
years, but there are no more bonuses
We feel more consideration should

for itself. The casters record of to.

Local Union No. 1873 enjoyed an.
other one of those grand parties al
the country club. An excellent chicken
supper, followed by a five hundred
party and dance was given the 100 pei
cent approval of the wives and gir1
friends. Geno Veri, toastmaster, must
be given much of the credit for the
success of the evening.
The songs and music were enjoyed
by everyone. Everyone joined in to
sing Kate Smiths "God Bless Amer
lea" as if it were not new to them.
Joe Cunningham, chairman of the
committee, did an excellent job. He
and his committee have the thanks of
every member of Local 1873.
Another of those fine fish fries given
by the bowling team is scheduled for
Saturday night. We would certainly
welcome the officials at this party.
Our next meeting will be held in the
new Trades Council hall at Croton and

cards can be secured from the shop
