At Party

Coshocton, O.-Local Union No. rs
held its regular meeting Thursday,
March 8. Election of national officers
was held and we are glad to state we
had very large vote.
Our social committee certainly did
put on the entertainment for us. 1t
is too bad we don't have these social
gatherings more often, as the potters,
their wives, children and friends GER
tainly enjoyed themselves.
An amateur program was enjoyed.
James "Smoke" Conner won a pair
of spats for rendering "Old Gang of
Nine" Brother Conner has very fine
tenor voice and we appreciate hearing
him. "Pug" Davis won a set of dish
es, which was donated by the firm. He
was the lucky fellow to hold the Win

was won by Mr.. and Mrs. "Muggsy"

Praised For Aid In
Gdining Aim

Beaver Falls, Pat is not very
often that letter is sent to the Pot
ters Herald from Local Union No. SO,
but this time we certainly feel that we
have something to write about. After
two years of constant effort, we have
now reached that state which all To-
Gals strive for, namely 100 per cent
local.
In writing about an accomplishment
of this kind, it is necessary to hand
out some bouquets and we cannot give
too much praise to the national Off
cials who fought with us. President
James M. Duffy, Secretary Treasurer
John D. McGillivray and Sixth Vice
President George Turner worked with
US to give our local a real standing
in the Brotherhood.
Praise cannot be stinted when we
speak of our shop committee either
Brothers Shook and Glaab, Sister Gra-
ham, together with President Greco
deserve a great deal Of credit for their
work. Anyone engaged in it knows
how discouraging it can be at times.
If any other local wishes to shoot at
the mark, we recommend the members

Transferring From Local
Union No. l4l

Maintenance men of the East Liver
pool district were organized in a To-
cal of their own, No. 172, at a meet
ing held in the Brotherhood hall last
Friday night.
A majority of the members of the
new local were formerly affiliated with
Local Union 141 which embraced the
maintenance men until it was deemed
in the best interests of the members
and the organization to set up a sep
arate local. The Executive Board of
the National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters authorized this action after
contracting Local 141.
President James M. Duffy called a
series of meetings with the mainten-
ance men and was in charge of organ
izing them into strong group. Sec

Dancing. Cards and Lunch
Make Evening One To
Remember

East Palestine, O.-One of the
largest crowds Local Union No. 81
has had in months turned out for the
primary election of national officers.
Due to the death of his brother,
Charles Labor was absent and Vice
President Ches Whitehouse presided.
After the regular meeting about
seventy-fve members and friends en-
joyed dancing, cards and refreshments.
Brothers Charles Hall and George Hill
served a very nice lunch and the en-
tire local wishes to thank these broth
ers, as well as those on the entertain
ment committee for their efforts in
making this party success.
Charles Douglas and his band played
for dancing, which continued until mid
night. Those who didn't attend GER
tainly missed treat when j. E. Miller
and Bee Burns did the shag dance.
Willis Cartwright and Pearl Woods
went to town as a couple of Utter
bugs.
We would like to know why men,
bers of the clay shop don't attend our
meetings or affairs Speaking of the
clay shop we hear that one Of the
brothers has been sporting a pair of
black eyes. If anyone happens to be
in the decorating warehouse, notice the
young fellow when he smiles, the girls
fall. Girls believe it or not he is single.
Brother j. E. Miller is getting in
shape for an acrobatic performance at
our next social event. Ask him about
his double somersault from a bin. An
eye witness reports that Brother Mill
er escaped serious injury, due to the
fact that he landed on his head.
The financial secretary reports all
members in good standing with the
exception of twelve, who are three
months back. Check your dues book
and bring it up to date.
The local wishes to extend sincere
sympathy to our president, Charles
Laber, and the family of Henry Laber
who was called in death last week.
l have noticed other writer's urging
their members to attend the meetings
so we can surmise that this apparent
lack of interest is not confined to East
Palestine. How anyone can be so un-
concerned about something so vital to
their welfare as this organization is
just can't be understood by this writer.
A number of the members seeming
ly have the idea that the other fellow
can take care of things. Unless we
train ourselves, the organization is 60
ing to run out of those "other fell
lows" The parents of this writer can
be considered of this group. My father
is charter member Of the Brother
hood and has never been back in his
dues or assessments. My mother, up
until her death one year ago, had been
a member for over thirty years, and a
good one, too. There are many Of you

Prevailing Pay
Law Amendments

Committee Also Approves
Amendments to Workmen's
Compensation Law

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-The Senate
Committee on Commerce and Labor
last week gave it's approval to Senate
Bill No. 63, extending and strengthen
ing the state prevailing wage law.
The measure establishes the wage
rate prevailing in the county nearest
to one in which none has been created
by agreements between employers
and employees, and prevents the prac-
tice of sub-contractors paying less
than the specified rate of pay.
Senate Bill No. 131, containing
amendments to the workmen's COM
pensation law which were agreed upon
by committee representing the Ohio
State Federation of Labor and en-
ployers, was also approved by the
Committee.
One of the amendments prohibits
the accumulation of more than two
years compensation, but in no way de-
prives injured workers of the full
amount of compensation allowed them
by the Commission.
The amendment protects their award
by limiting the time in which compen-
sation is accrued, and thereby pre-

Personnel of BUG
Ruled Unaffected
BY Change In Law
Ruling Removes Doubt Of
Employees Right To
Positions
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, On an opinion to Her.
schel C. Atkinson, administrator of
the Bureau of Unemployment Compen-
sation, Attorney General Thomas Her.
bert last week ruled that the enact
ment of legislation changing the adj
ministrative sections Of the unemploy-
ment compensation law did not affect
the personnel hired by the Commits
sion.
Administration leaders were of the
opinion that the ripper bill abolished
all positions under the old Commission,
and that the entire personnel was sub
iect to replacement of reappointment
regardless of civil service certifca-
tions.
Attorney General Herbert ruled,
however, that the service of employ
ment of the employees hired by the Un-
employment Compensation Commits
sion prior to the time the Commission
was abolished by the enactment of rip
per legislation was not terminated by
the new act.
He held that the section under which
they were appointed was not repealed
in the enactment of Amended Senate
Bill No. 81. 1t was pointed out in the
opinion that the administrator could
abolish jobs through consolidation
powers granted in the act.
The dismissal of 16 managers Of
branch Offices of the Bureau on March
4 formed the basis of suit filed in
the state Supreme Court last week, in
which Lucian F. Jenness, Chillicothe,
one of the dismissed managers, asked
the court to order Administrator At
kinson of the Bureau to reinstate him
to his position.
Jenness was appointed from the
state civil service list to the position
of manager on December 8, 1888, and
was dismissed at the close of his 80
day probationary period by Admins
traitor Atkinson.
He asked the court to issue writ
of mandamus ordering his reinstate-
uent on the ground that he was re-
moved without specific charges being
filed against him.
All rules and regulations which had
been adopted by the Commission were

Work Is Steady On
All Sebring Shops
Advancement Of Buy Amer
icdn' Drive Should Keep
Them Going

Sebring, O.-With President Howell
in the chair, Local Union No. Al held
it's regular session with a fair attend
ance; not what you would expect on
primary election night. However, it
was a good meeting and there were
several points brought out through the
discussions on the floor.
The shop committees had some
minor reports and Brother Allcorn re-
ported from the Central Labor Union.
The Gem Clay Forming Company has
put on three apprentice casters, as
they were unable to find journeymen
casters.
We are certainly glad to hear work
is getting so plentiful, and if all would
practice the BUY American" plan for
awhile, it would continue to be plenti-
full. You hear people say, 81 don't
bother to look at what l buy to see if
it is made in America, what little
buy doesn't hurt anyone" Oh no, if
there are several thousand people who
feel that way, then it will hurt all of
US eventually.
Local A, also the president of the
Labor Board, received a letter from
the Knowles Drug Company of Alli-
ance, thanking them for their efforts
in the "Buy American Campaign" l
think that is something we should re-
member when we need drugs, or what
ever the Knowles Company may have
that you wish to purchase.
The shops in this district are all
working good. You can see number
of strange faces in our shops-a good
sign.
Some of you boys who are catching
extra days battingout and running
moulds, don't forget you must pay
percentage just the same as if you
had a steady job.

Trenton Local Backs Dance
Team To Stop Any
Worlds Fair

Trenton, N. Jon March 4, Local
Union No. 45 enjoyed one of the best
socials held in many long day. Presi-
dent Templeton had things moving
fast in order to give the party enough
time. A request by the committee for
ten walters was filled when the chair
appointed the required number.
The music got under way with all
the latest song hits and was going
quite nicely until the boys decided it
was about time to sing, so Ray Thomp-
son lead them.
Jack Simpson distributed the fun
makers and the party was on in earn
est. w. S. Pete and Bog Haggerty went
into their dance routine and the boys
were of the opinion that one Of the
two fairs is missing a real bet here.
The committee is to be commended on
the excellent refreshments and the
way they were served.
During the business session a few
more suspended members were rein
stated after paying their fifteen doll
ars. We were pleased to have Brother
w. Parker with us. He gave US a great
amount of advice which was especially
helpful during the reading of our by
laws.
The committee from the Mutual re-
ports that work is much better, but
there seems to be shortage of moulds
in some lines. All six kilns are run
ming and we are looking for better
times so better wages can be paid. We
are working "A hours now, but it will
not be long until we are on AZ, then
a 4O-hour week. So let's start think
ing little.
Brother Fred Bailey from the
Mutual mould shop was granted a
transfer card to Local 81. We are
sorry to part company with Fred. He
was regular in attendance and a good
committeeman. We certainly wish him
the best of luck.
Brother Joe Abrams, who had an
accident while at work at the Mutual,
is now nursing fractured collar bone.
1t is our hope that he will have speedy
and painless recovery.-O. C. As.

Additional Labor Measure
Disposed Of In That
Munner
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Wy OhIo NEWS oVTtlCc)
Columbus, O.-Labor continued to
fare rather badly at the hands of the
93rd General Assembly last week, par
ticularly in standing committees of the
House of Representatives where con-
signment of labor bills to sub-commit-
tees for "study" appears to be the ac-
cepted method of killing off measures
proposed by organized workers of the
state.
Worst offender is Reverend L. H.
ub-Committee" Myers, Lima, chair
man of the Labor Committee, which is
becoming identified more properly as
the Anti-Labor Committee.
After disposing Of the "Baby Wag-
ner Act" measure in that manner
three weeks ago, the Reverend hit a
new high for passing the buck last
week when he shunted the innocent,
voluntary apprentice training stand
ards measure to a subcommittee when
hearings were completed. He then at
tended meeting of the Temperance
Committee, which is considering two
measures sponsored by the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bartenders'
Union, and moved that the bills be
committed to subcommittee for
further study"
One of the measures, House Bill No.
AZ, would prohibit the employment of
women as bartenders, and the other,
House Bill No. as, would require all
persons handling food to be American
citizens or applicants for citizenship.
His action followed strong argu-
ments for favorable consideration of
the measures by Ernest Howard,
Cleveland, president Of the Ohio State
Branch Of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees and Bartenders' Union;

ganization, and Louise Cochran, busi-
ness representative of Cincinnati Wait

ment. Several new faces are seen in
the different departments. Brother
Ross Page from Carrollton is the new

The new wage and hour law has GER

it has made two jobs grow out of one,
this is some accomplishment.

two boys to straighten out our affairs
for US and we are always glad to see
them, as we know things will be placed
in tip-top shape. 1t is the first visit

coast it is too much to expect a visit
very often. Come again soon, you are

We wish them the same success this

decorating foreman is driving a new
Buick "8". 1t is reported Fred Hall
