MOLDERS' UNION 80 YEARS OLD
AND PROUD OF IT,

The July issue of the Journal of
the International Molders' Union of
North America is a handsomely
printed and historically valuable SOU
venir of the unions eightieth ami
versary.
The record shows that the first con-
vention was held in Philadelphia
where 81 delegates from local unions
in Philadelphia, Troy, Albany, Utica,
Peekskill, Port Chester, ST. Louis,
Jersey City, Providence, Wilmington,
Del, Baltimore and Cincinnati, con-
vened July 5, 1859.
Successfully launching the ma
tional organization, which has con-
tinued until this day, a prominent
part was taken in the movement to-
ward national labor movement of
crafts upon the principle of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor Charles
Silvis of Philadelphia, one of the out
standing figures in the dawning
American labor movement and active
in the establishment of the Molders'
Union, contributed much to this ma
tional effort.
Of nine men who met in Terre
Haute, Ind, on August and 8, 1881,

in connection with the movement for
formation of the A. F. of L., two were
members of the Molders. The Mold
ers were also prominently represented
in the convention for permanent or
ganization of the A f. of L. held in
Pittsburgh in November of the same
year.
In addition to pioneering in the
field of national organization, this
militant union has also contributed
materially to trade union history and
development. Among the many other
''firsts" in it's record is that of having
signed the first national agreement
with an employers association. This
agreement, made in 1891 with the
Manufacturers Protective and Devel-
opment Association, is still in ex-
istence.
In addition to the early figures in
the movement, such as Charles Silvis,
the Molders have contributed largely
to leadership in the A. F. of l.. Among
such might be named Joseph F. VAL
entine, for 23 years president of the
Molders and for long period a mem
Der of the A. F. of L. executive council.
As might be expected, the Interna-
tional Molders' Journal, as one of the
earliest official periodicals, has played
prominent part in the development
of labor journalism. Inaugurated as
regular publication in 1895, there
have been but four editors, David
Black, 1896-1903; John P. Frey, now
president of the Metal Trades Depart
ment of the A. F. of L., 1903-1927;
Robert T. Mccoy, 1927-1933; and
John F. Dunachie, present incumbent

Tough On Shoplifters

Middletown, Ohio. Out of town
shoplifters, hoping to find Middle
town merchants "easy pickin's," were
given sharp warnings in municipal
court Monday by Acting Judge Harry
Dell when he imposed fined of 5000
each and county Jail sentences of 80
days on three Cincinnati negroes on
larceny charges.
'It is mistake to believe shop
lifters can come to Middletown and

Impatience

Impatience never got anybody any
where, except into trouble. Many
motorists expect the horn to work
miracles. They forget that the horn
was placed on the car as warning
signal and not to frighten motorists
and pedestrians. An ancient Chinese
philosopher once said, "big voice be-
tokens small mind" Five thousand
years have not altered this truthful
saying, although, it is expressed on
our highways today with less grace
and more profanity.

FIRST STAGE OF CANNING
VENTURE is SUCCESSFUL
Practically All OF 300 PeagrOw-
ers Agee On Cooperative Ar
rangement With Canning Co.
PLANT THOUSAND ACRES

The first step in the peagrowers' CO.
operative canning venture, that of
signing an agreement, has turned out
successfully, with practically every
grower acquiescing The results of the
remainder of the project, however, will
depend upon the future developments
in production, canning, marketing and
sale price.
The cooperative arrangement be-
tween the growers and the Mount Airy
Canning Company was entered into
early in April, by which the farmers
were given an opportunity to grow
peas and market them at the cannery
again this year. The price per ton,
however, will depend upon the net
profit received by the canning COM
pany after expenses of canning and
marketing have been deducted.
The canning company officials had
previously decided not to operate at
Loeb Lynn this year because Of an
oversupply last year, but because
number of peagrowers did not wish to
lose this early cash crop they worked
out a plan with company officials to
operate on a cooperative basis.
The first step needed was to have all
peagrowers sign the contract. 1t was
estimated that there were approx
mately 300 peagrowers in the county
interested in production. Clifton E.
Sponseller, manager of the canning
company plant at Loeb Lynn, stated
this week that practically every one
had signed the agreement and that
1000 bushels of seed had been dis
tributed and planted during the latter
part of April.
Mr.. Sponseller also said there are
now about 1000 acres of peas planted
by the nearly 300 growers. This acre
age is less per grower than last year.
The next step in the agreement IS
up to Mother Nature, and after that
the marketing problem will be the one
upon which the success or the failure
of the project really depends.
1t was estimated that growers re-
ceived last year 100000 from the sale
of their peas to the canning company,
with the latter contracting for peas at
$500 per ton. This year the growers
may receive much less or they may
possibly receive more, depending upon
conditions this fall.
A Growers Committee, cosisting of
one member from each of four sec
tions of the county-Grantsville, Acct
dent, Gortner and Mountain Lake
Park-and member at large, is hav-
ing charge of the details, and which IS
the contact between the remainder Of
the growers and the canning company.
