Members All Keeping New

Buffalo, N. Y Once more Local
Union No. 76 can boast of record at
tendance. The members are living up
to their New Years resolution with a
real spirit this year, and we are GER
tainly glad to see it. The second and
fourth Fridays Of each month are
marked on the calendars by the men,
bers and the dates are kept.
Last weeks meeting did not adjourn
until almost midnight and then the
majority had to be told it was all over
before they would go home.
Several matters of Importance were
brought before the local where they
received a thorough going over. We
initiated four new members and re-
ceived the withdrawal cards of two,
while two other members were sus-
pended.
The members are of the opinion that
the last entertainment sponsored by
the local popped things up in great
style. To keep the present spirit up to
it's high level, the members have de-
manded another social evening. The
same committee was asked to serve
and President Winters Immediately
got busy. Since Lent will be with US

Grafton, w. Va.-Members of Local

aid because of certain article appear
ing in the papers January nineteenth
issue. 1t stated that Evansville and
Grafton were leading in the number
of dimes contributed to date, but, since
Grafton contributed $3.50 and Evans
Vile $4,000, we feel that the article
should have been captioned thusly:
Grafton and Evansville. Just little
mistake, but noticed by many.
l have my own pet peeve, however.
Why have the jokes been suspended
from the Herald? l make and second
my own motion that jokes be reinstat-
ed and become regular feature from
now on. EDITORS note: True it is that
Grafton had more dimes, but Evans
vile had more length in her name, and
that was what we needed in the first
line of the head, the shop not being
equipped with type stretcher-joke.

plaints.)

Building Boom To
Lost Three Years,
Says 1895 Writer
New Castle Sanitary Local
Concerned Over Rumored
Price Slash
BOWLERS FETED
League Celebrates Closing
Of First Holt At
Country Club

New Castle, Pa.-Members of SAM
tary Local Union 1873 received much
satisfaction in reading the last issue
of the Herald. The news concerning
the initiating of new members, work
ers of the Universal in Camden, and
the news from the Mutual plant gave
US all something to talk about.
We hear strange reports about five
per cent reduction in the selling price
CT washdown combinations. Last year
about this time we heard of a 25-cent
reduction on this item. 1t would seem
to me that the demand for sanitary
ware would be greatest at this time of
year.
What inducement would a small re-
duction be to a person building a
home? They are going to have a toilet
and tank if it does cost them 25 cents
more. Why should the manufacturers
put an item on the market, see it ac-
cepted wholeheartedly, and then sell
it at price which cuts out all profit
to the men forced to make more diff
ficult piece of ware of greater weight :?
In some plants they make about the
same number of pieces for a days
work.
This new feature of the spread on
seat attachment to support the tank
to which it is bolted, is now being man
ufactured at near-cost selling price.
Surely the progressive heads of sani-
TO- ch 70 ha
and the sincere efforts of First Vice
President Wheatley and the other Off
Gals in trying to organize. the sanitary
workers in order to do away with the
advantages some of these cut-throat
operators seem to have.
We read where the building industry
expects a boom this year and the rec
ords will show that it should continue
for three or four years. If this is true,
why should the sanitary workers be
denied a raise in their wage rates?
We have also read that the earned
wealth Of the people in this country
reached $64 billion last year. Proper
distribution of this wealth would in
sure prosperity and eliminate consid-
cradle unemployment.
The writer must mention the excel
lent chicken dinner served at the coun-
try club in honor of the bowling
league of Local 1873. This turned out to
be one of the best social affairs in the
history of our local. All of the men,
bers were welcome. All that was neces-
sary was the seventy-five cents the
dinner cost. They will be given a
chance to pay the six cents week the
bowlers pay during the second half of
the season.
Geno Veri served as POSTMASTER and
must be given much credit for the sue
cess of the evening.

Resolution Committee To Be
Appointed At Next
Meeting
NOMINATION HELD

Minerva, Ohio-Here we are again,
folks, just brimful of good news and
good fellowship down here at Local
Union No. 70.
The last meeting came to order un-
der the gavel Of President Smallwood
with full house, out to greet Presi-
dent James M. Duffy.
1t is a great treat for us to have
the pleasure of listening to Brother
Duffy. His time doesn't allow him to
spare US a visit very often, so we GER
tainly are tickled when he appears in
our midst.
His talk to us was a verbal master
piece and it surely shot the truth home
to most of us. 1t would seem as though
some of us have forgotten the golden
rule and how to Give and let live"
Of course, the age-old law of self
preservation is not to be overcome, but
if you are getting your day and the
other poor fellow is getting only a
halliday, there is no just reason for
you to take your day and his too. But
this seems to be the attitude of some
Of our craftsmen who can we'll afford
to "let live"
We had few difficulties over some
new applications which were settled
definitely. If some of the people
throughout the trade would remember
that the agreement and constitution
contain a set of rules and obligations
that some of us sorely need to study
we could be relieved from a majority
of these troubles. Personal feeling, NO
matter how we'll based, cannot enter
or be allowed to guide US, whene il
comes time to uphold the law and or
der of the organization.
New members, admitted to the local
at the last meeting, are: Edna Haines
and Opal Feldman, stampers; Maxine
Daugherty, sponger; Albert Daugher-
ty, laborer. Decal girls on the Saline
vile list were issued Withdrawals and
we welcomed Edward Taylor, who
transferred here from Local Union No.
121 to take a job in the warehouse.
Now for some big news! We read
in last weeks Herald that Local Union
No. 8 is in the lead in the collection
of dimes for Labor's Silver Salute to
President Roosevelt on his birthday
for the purpose Of stamping out in
fantile paralysis in this country. Last
Friday night our collection was count
ed and a check for forty-two dollars
and ninety cents ($42.90) was sent to
Washington. That should put US in
front.
Our nomination of national officials
was held and everyone was we'll pleas
ed with the nominees selected.
The meeting was a lengthy one, yet
everyone seemed to stand it pretty
well, so perhaps, they can stand the

Drastic Changes
In Unemployment
Law Are Proposed
Would Replace Commission
With Administrator;
Allow Appeal
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, Ohio - Ripper legislation
abolishing the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission set up two years
ago and placing control of the admin
istration of the unemployment COM
pensaton law in the hands of Cover
nor Bricker and each Of his successors
was introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives and Senate last week.
Sponsored by Majority Floor Leader
J. Harry McGregor, Coshocton, and
Representative George B. Marshall,
Columbus, House Bill No. 167 proposes
that the three-member Unemployment
Compensation Commission and its
seven-member Advisory Council be su-
perceded by an Administrator Of the
Bureau of Unemployment Compensa-
ton" and a three-member Board Of
Review"
An identical bill, S. B. No. 81, was
introduced in the Senate by Montgom-
cry County Senator |. E. Baker, Phil
lipsburg manufacturer, for the pur-
pose of speeding consideration of the
reorganization proposal in committee.
Neither bill was assigned to stand
ing committee following introduction
last week, but it was predicted that
hearings would be held this week.
Introduction of the ripper bills fol-
lowed the recommendation of Cover
nor Bricker to the General Assembly
on January 16 that the administrative
features of the unemployment compen-
sation law be amended "for the sake
of efficiency and economy" and the be-
lief that the law should not be ham,
pered by narrow, partisan administra-
ton"
Under the provisions of the meas
ures, the Administrator would serve
only during the term Of the appoint
ing governor, thus giving the Chief
Executive of the State and his success
sors political control Of the admins
tration of the unemployment compen-
sation law. Salary Of the Administra.
tor would be $4,000 per year.
The Administrator would have com.
plete jurisdiction over the personnel;
authority to coordinate administrative
functions, hold Investigations and hear
ings and appoint deputies, and is vest
ed with all powers and duties of the
present Commission of three. Location

unemployed and payment of benefits

Members Persist In StdYing
Well Must Be Fine
Roseville Air

Roseville, Ohio.-The attendance at
the meetings of Local Union No. 1876
is improving each night. Naturally
there are still few who are lax in
their obligations to the other men,
bers, but we hope to be able to prove
to them the value of consistently at
tending the meetings. In the mean
time, the rest of the members should
keep up the excellent work.
AS the meeting progressed we found
one of our trustees was absent. 1t
would seem funny to see two or three
chairs empty while a meeting was be-
ing held.
During the reading of communica-
tions we had the pleasure of listening
to an exceptionally fine letter from
the International Electric Workers
Union, B-1061, which is affiliated with
the Cincinnati Trades Council. The
merits Of the Crosley Co. were extolled
and the splendid cooperation between
the firm and the union explained. A
collective bargaining contract has been
signed recently. We hope our members
will remember this when they wish to
see ball game or buy a radio, cleo
trio refrigerator, etc.
We are still after a 100 per cent
local here in Roseville and our efforts
were rewarded last meeting night by
two more applications for member
ship.
We hope the members who were up
for reinstatement some time ago will
take warning. Only part Of the rein
statement fee has been paid at this
time and unless the members show a
willingness to cooperate with the local
by February 1, the names will be again
stricken from the list which means
that the usual $1,000 fee will be ap-
piled.
We can feel proud of the financial
standing of Local 1876 as reported by
the auditing committee. With all bills
paid, the books show nice balance
for the year ending December 81,
1888.
One thing this local is going to be
very strict about is the presenting of
bills. 1t has been the practice of every
Tom, Dick and Harry to turn in bill
for this or that and then have the local
vote on it's acceptance without an in
vestigation. In the future all bills must
have the approval of the president and
bear the seal of the local.

Salem Chatter, NewsY Shop
Sheet. Makes Bow On
PdY Day

Salem, Ohio-The members of Local
Union No. AZ elected officers at their
last regular meeting. These members
will serve for six months and do their
best to please you and if they don't
succeed, don't forget. they are your
choice, so please don't slam it in their
faces. Those chosen follow: R. Reedy,
president; c. Mohr, vice president; c.
krepps, recording secretary; R. Rip
pie, defense secretary; H. Gisbert, fl
nancial secretary; Z. King, treasurer;
X. Reesh, Inspector; L. Walters, guard;
F. Reed, statistician; trustees, r. Balls
ley, Is months; F. Shatfer, II months
and P Mclaughlin, six months. Mat
hew Miller was given the honor of in
stalling these officers and we must say
he did right good job. He comment
ed on each and every one for the job
they had finished and the job to begin.
We hope all will feel this way and at
tend the local meetings more often.
The local wishes to extend it's SYM
pathy to Brother McGaffic who recent
ly lost his mother and to Helen San
derson who lost her grandson. The
local sent both floral piece.
Labor's Silver Salute is making good
headway in the dime collection. Very
few have refused to contribute to this
cause, all realizing what those little
silver dimes mean. Even our office
force at the plant came through with
flying colors.
We have something new to look for
ward to on pay day. Mr.. Mckee has
started the Salem Chatter and it is
certainly going over with bang. We
hope he will continue this newsy sheet.
With this pamphlet and what goes
into the Herald, the Salem potters

Reading the report of the audit, jan

that we are in many respects better
off than ever before in the history of
the local.
Almost half of our members are paid
far in advance with their dues and at
this writing we do not have single
member on the delinquent list. We are
certain any local would be proud of
this record.
