Why Organized Labor In Britain
Supports War Against GermomY

BY President James NJ. Duffy, First
Vice President f. L. Wheatley and
John O'Malley.
The fundamental reasons why the
organized labor movement in Great
Britain supports the British Govern
ment in their war to destroy Hitlerism
was fully explained to the annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor at Cincinnati, Ohio, by Her.
bert H. Elvin, Fraternal Delegate
from the British Trade Union Con-
greSs.
In presenting Mr.. Elvin to the con-
vention, William Green, President of
the Federation, said:
"His visit this year is the more ap-
preciated by the officers and delegates
in attendance at the convention, be-
cause he made the trip in the face of
danger to himself. We are grateful
to him because he was willing to take
such a risk in order to bring to this
convention a message of greeting
from our colleagues across the sea.
We have maintained this custom of
exchanging delegates with the British
Trades Union Congress almost from
the formation of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, with unbroken reg
ularity, and as a result of the ex-
change Of fraternal delegates between

social justice to the people of the
world could not be stopped because of
threats to the peace of the world.
"The United States Government,
together with many more Govern
ments, sent their experts and their
advisers to this conference which was
composed of nearly four hundred rep
resentatives, to consider the problems
that were on the agenda for the con-

ChindwdreL Lining
Hos Uniform Scale
Joint Committee Effects New
Agreement Covering All
China Liners

After five meetings, the joint COM
mittee authorized by the 1888 wage
conference to settle uniform wage
scale for chinaware lining, effected
an agreement November 2.
This is the first time in the history
of the Brotherhood that uniform
scale for decorating has been secured.
The accomplishment is contributed to
the excellent spirit and fairness of
the members of the committee and
their willingness to meet and conquer
any situation.
President James NJ. Duffy headed
the Brotherhood's committee, with
John D. McGillivray, secretary, Har-
old Benzel, c. w. Owrey, Howard
Peterson, Stanley Noble, Howard
Gamble, Mary Herr, Sam T. Allison
and John Riley. Representing the
United States Potters Association
were: J. NJ. Wells, chairman, Charles
F. Goodwin, secretary, Ben D. Har-
desty, chairman of the special china
ware committee, E. X. koos, secre-
tary, and w. J. Frey.
Copies of the agreement have been
sent out to all chinaware locals.
These should be studied and adhered
to. Liners in the various chinaware
shops must insist on these rates of
pay and all violations should be re-
ported to Headquarters at once.

Subject At LU No. 4
Casters Think Rising Prices
Should Be Met With
Higher Wages

Local Union No. met Monday,
November 13 with President Jack
'O'Malley presiding. Many important
affairs were taken care Of, dealing
with just about all Of the plants.
At the next meeting unfinished busi-
ness at Laughlin No. plant will be
up for discussion. All casters from
No. are requested to be present to
help take care Of these matters.
Highlights Of the discussion at the
last meeting was the need Of reopen
ing the wage agreement for the pur-
pose of a wage increase in the near
future. Our members feel the en-
ployes should get in on the wage in
creases sooner than they do. Every
thing else goes up and the employees
are the last to receive more compen-
sation. Another thought expressed
was to the effect that the manufac-
turers should propose voluntary in
creases to their employees when busi-
ness is good.
Criticism was heaped upon those
members who still insist upon making
individual settlements on the shops
without first bringing the new item
to the local for information on the
ware. Others accept low price on
q new item without making report
to the local and as result of this the
item sometimes is laid off for quite
while and when it comes on again in
another part of the shop, the second
caster, through lack of thought, re-
fuses to continue the protest because
he feels the caster before him should
have gone through with the protest.
This is a very common complaint.

Definite gains in the field of shorter
hours for workers through conven-
tions adopted by the international
Labor Organization of the League of
Nations were detailed by James Will
son, labor adviser of the l. l.. o., in
an address to the annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
at Cincinnati, Ohio.
"The record of the International
Labor Organization" Mr.. Wilson said,
"discloses the fact that much has been
accomplished in raising the standards
of living and bringing betterment into
the lives of millions of people.
"The annual labor conference held
in June of this year in Geneva was
held, as you will understand, under
most adverse circumstances. 1t was
the first conference under the leader
ship of an American, John G. Winant,
Director of the Organization. There
was much talk of war. People were
in an unsettled state of mind. Ma

not know what was going to happen.

condition the International Labor Or
ganization continued to function, real

Usurped Power

By President James NJ. Duffy, First
Vice President f.. l.. Wheatley and
John OMalley.
One Of the major complaints of the
American Federation Of Labor against
the administration of the National
Labor Relations Act by the National
Labor Relations Board is that the
Board, through the arbitrary interpre-
tatlon of appropriate units in cases
dealing with the question concerning
representatives of employees, has
sought to impose upon workers re-
gardless of their wishes the type Of
organized labor the Board favors, this
arbitrary Interpretation being used
detrimentally to A. f. Of l.. craft
unions. One Of the amendments to
the National Labor Relations Act
proposed by the A. F. of l.. seeks to
prevent continued use Of this arbitrary
power by the Labor Relations Board.
In his address on labor legislation
in general before the recent conven-
ton Of the American Federation of
Labor at Cincinnati, Ohio, Judge Jo-
seph A. Padway, counsel for the
American Federation Of Labor, gave
4 detailed explanation of the amend
ments proposed to the National Labor
Relations Act by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. This article con-

ment of the Labor Board for its bias

New York, N.AG-"BUY JAP

CAN PROSPERITY" = BUY JAP
ANESE AND GIVE WORK TO
AMERICAN FARMERS, MINERS,
AND OTHER WORKERS." stated the
Japan Foreign Trade Federation in a
full page advertisement in leading
New York City newspaper.
"That is BUY AMERICAN in re-
verse;" stated F. X. A. Eble, Managing
Director of the MADE IN AMERICA
CLUB, which has been sponsoring a
national BUY AMERICAN MADE
GOODS campaign for the past several
years.
"Japan's "BUY JAPANESE appeal
is based on the fact that she buys al
most 81 worth of American products
mostly raw materials-for every 81
worth of her goods which we buy from
her.
However" continued Eble, "sixty
per cent of her purchases this year
will be for war materials. Does the
sale of scrap iron to Japan provide
any great number of jobs? Does it
provide any buying power?"
Eble called attention to the fact
that real jobs are created in Ameri-
can production, and the wages paid to
the holders of those jobs is what
makes the buying power that promotes
American prosperity. Every single
item that Japan buys from us in the
form of raw materials, from cotton to
copper, has low percentage of labor
cost in the production of those items.
"For instance, continued Eble,
"copper" is produced under large scale
mining operations and the man hours
and percentage Of labor costs are low
The same applies to cotton, petroleum
products, and various other materials
which Japan buys from us.

Personnel Changes

Says III Reporter
Few Weeks See Many New
Faces In Los Angeles
District
BUSINESS BOOMs
Defeat of Ham and Egg Plan
Sturts Orders Flowing
Once More

Stockton, Calif.-Here is a bit of
news from Local Union No. III. Now
that California's Ham and Egg cleo
ton is over, we can settle down to
the daily routine of work. Business
has been just a little quiet for the
past few weeks, due no doubt to
orders being held up, pending the re-
suits of the election. However, things
are booming now and the outlook is
encouraging for heavy Christmas
trade.
There have been many changes in
the personnel during the last few
weeks. Brother Phil Mccormack has
returned to Los Angeles, Phil is the
same jolly Irish lad that | had the
pleasure of working with in Salem
forty years ago. Brother Snyder is
back on the turning job and getting
along very we'll, not withstanding his
handicap of the loss of a thumb.
Brother Herman Atkinson has taken
the cup handling bench, Brother Bill
Edwards is sharing the saucer job
with his brother, Arthur. Brother
Harry Cotton, an old timer on the
coast, having come here from Sebring
when the old Homer Knowles plant
started some 18 years ago, is doing
his bit in the mould shop. Brother
Albert Podwell has accepted super
vising position in Los Angeles. AL was
the locals president and recently
elected corresponding secretary. This
local will miss Brother Podwell, his
ability and willingness to take on any
amount of work; his rare judgement
and devotion to the cause Of organ
lied labor makes him valuable asset
to any local. This local gives him a
vote of thanks for his work here and
wishes him success in his new po-
sition.

Columbus, O.-Administrator H. c..
Atkinson of the Ohio Bureau of In
employment Compensation blew hot
and cold at once on the subject of un-
employment benefits being paid Ohio's
iobless in speech before the conven-
ton of the Ohio Chamber of Com
merce in Cleveland November IT,
The Administrator advocated
higher unemployment compensation
benefit amount and cited statistics
that Ohio stands eighteenth among
he states in the average weekly bene-
it amount paid to unemployed work
ars while it is third in the size of
average annual wage paid, facts
which were revealed last week by the
Ohio Labor News Service.
At the same time Administrator At
kinson told the Chamber of Commerce
that Ohio should follow the lead Of
3S states that have eliminated the
"full-time weekly wage" formula from
their statutes, substituting either a
weekly wage calculated on the basis
of earnings in the highest quarter of
the previous one or two years or upon
a Traction of the annual earned
wage" which would yield the unem-
ployed person something better than
an average obtained by dividing it by
the exact number of weeks in which
the wage was earned.
Ohio labor officials were quick to
point out that either of these two sug-
gested methods would result in lower
benefits than would be paid to unem-
ployed workers by the proper and
honest application of the "full-time
weekly wage" now provided in the
Ohio law.
The American Federation of Labor
and the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor are definitely opposed to benefits
based on accrued earnings, contending
that the benefit rate should be based
on an equitable standard in keeping
with the principle Of unemployment
compensation, which was to provide
adequate benefits during periods of
unemployment to Cushion" loss of
buying power.
