Looking Forward
To 80 Convention
Local 1873 Hopes to Have oil
Shops In Brotherhood
At EdrlY Date

New Castle, Pa.-The sanitary To-
Gals are now looking forward to re-
ceiving some news of the unorganized
shops when delegates convene in this
coming convention. They will also be
glad to hear from the delegates rep
resenting the organized sanitary shops.
No doubt all the men in the organ
lied shops are looking to the Brother
hood for the possible way to bring
about better rate of pay to the skill
ed men in the industry A local union
in each sanitary pottery would soon
bring us in position to receive con-
ference with the manufacturers. This
would bring about a uniform wage at
a fair rate of pay, thus eliminating
the danger of cut-throat competition
which has placed the industry where
it is today From all reports we un-
derstand that the sanitary shops are
all doing a good business. 1t seems
strange that selling prices are not re-
spected. Out-of-date shops seem to
be competing with those considered the
most modern.
We are sending two delegates to
the convention in the hope that the
other sanitary delegates, whose locals
seldom give up any news through the
Herald, will go to Atlantic City with
plenty of news and some good sug-
gestions. These suggestions are need
ed to aid the officials of the Brother
hood in bringing to the trade the
standard of pay it once enjoyed.
The election Of officers of Local 1873
brought about few changes. Those
elected are as follows: Shirl Myles,
president; Theodore Roman, vice pres
ident; Tobe Mackey, recording secre-
tary; Dan Reed, financial secretary;
S. Moore, defense secretary; H. M.
Stevens, treasurer; Harry Mehlman,
statistician; Hershel Johnson, in-

Local As Outing Is Greeted
With Perfect Picnic
Weuther

Trenton, N. 1.-THE regular Friday
night meeting of Local Union No. 45
was held June 16 with Brother Tenn
pleton in the chair. A lengthy dis
cussion took place on the cashing of
pay checks during July and August
when the banks here will be closed
Saturdays. This matter was turned
over to the Mutual shop committee for
consideration The members of the
committee will report at the next
meeting.
Brother Jim Solon, who was pres
ent, gave us thirty minute talk, dur
ing which he stated the four new
schools, now under construction, will
put in Crane ware. Vice President
Wheatley and Charles Zimmer and
Organizer Solon will continue to fol-
low this work TO make certain the
agreement is not broken.
After adjournment the picnic COM
mittee got together, stating they
would be able to make a report at the
next meeting. The outing was great
success and many thanks to the wealth
erman for perfect day.
We were pleased to see so many old
members of No. As present. You could
find them standing in groups of five
and six talking over old times. They
probably hadn't seen each other since
the last picnic.
Some played soft ball while others
threw quoits and did bit of bowling.

The 1889 convention Of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters will

important bearing on the smooth run
ming of the organization.
The Jefferson, located on Kentucky
Avenue just few steps from the
world famous boardwalk, il very pop

TO the past two conventions. The eight
large windows on either side allow a
view of the ever attractive ocean to
the east and birds eye view Of At
lantic City's business section to the
west, in addition to affording cooling
breezes.
Members elected to the Executive
Board this year will be installed at the

The meeting gives the delegates an
excellent opportunity to visit the New
York Worlds Fair, featuring a pot
terry exhibit sponsored jointly by the
Brotherhood and the Homer Laughlin
China Co., Paden City Pottery Co.,
Edwin NJ. Knowles China Co., Cronin
China Co., Hall China Co. Trips will
undoubtedly be planned to Flushing
Meadows on the Fourth Of July as
we'll as the week-ends both before the
opening Of the convention and the one
falling on July 8.
Reports from the Fair state the pot
terry exhibit is easily upholding its
reputation as the hit of the Home Fur
nishings Building; visitors having
given it foremost place among the
many fine attractions of the entire ex-
position.

(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-Ohio can easily
qualify for liberalized benefit pay
ments to its unemployed as we'll as
reduce the 27 per cent payroll tax up
on employers if the United States
Senate approves amendments to the
Social Security Act passed by the
National House Of Representatives.
This information was given in q
fletter to Governor John w. Bricker
last week by H. C. Atkinson, admin
istrator of the Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation, accompanying the
first report Of the Advisory Council of
the BUG to the Governor.
Inasmuch as the Ohio unemploy-
ment compensation law must conform
to the Federal Social Security Act, a
special session of the 93rd General As
sembly will probably be called when
Congress completes it's work of amend
ing the Federal Act, if the final
changes affect the unemployment COM

Administrator Atkinson pointed out
in his letter to the Governor that an

change from three-week waiting

now provides no minimum.)

 Program

On Tuesday evening, January 10th, Walden Trimble, of the W.P.A. Adult Education Program will start a new 12 week course in Business Personality Analysis and Development, at Crosby High school [ This course is based on research from the Carnegie Institute of Tech nology, and shows that even in the most technical type of work, knowl- edge is IS per cent of success, while the ability to deal with people in business constitutes the remaining 85 percent. The outstanding types of personalities are the mechanical type, and the persuasive, analytical, conservative, and managerial or executive types. Students are taught to analyze themselves by special tests. Then, by graphic pictures and charts, they can determine their particular type of personality, and start to develop it.
 A new 10 weeks course in Shop Mathematics is also being inaugur- ated next Tuesday evening, under the direction of Robert E. Browne The mathematic classes will meet from seven to nine, and will include instruction in fractions, percentage ratio and proportion, square root triangles, constants, trapezoids composite figures, circles, ring sec- tions, pulleys and gears, arcs and sectors, and priSmS,

STATE

This evening marks your last chance to see Warner Bros. aviation epic, "The Dawn Patrol" also swing, Sister, Swing' currently at the Warner Bros. State theater.
 Starting tomorrow the State will usher in the second big combined double feature unit show of its 1889 hit parade. Through the untiring efforts of Manager Julia Smith, two outstanding productions have been booked: Boris Karloff in, the sensa- tional movie of the season Devils Island" and the comedy riot Little Tough Guys Tn Society" with three comedy favorites, Mischa Auer, Mary Roland and Edward Everett Horton and the famous group of kid actors the Little Tough Guys talk ing the leading roles.
 Devils Island" brings to the screen for the first time a story that no picture before has dared reveal. Why convicts condemned to Devils Island describe their punishment as the "dry guillotine" is wildly brought out in this picture.
 Timely and powerful, it depicts with stark, unblinking realism the cruel and ruthless brutality that made this island penal colony seem to be misplaced in the Twentieth Century and led finally to its being temporarily abolished less than a year ago.
 Although the story is fictitious it is said to be an authentic represen- tation of the many stirring inci-- dents which have happened there.
 Karloff, the man who created the role to top all horror roles, that Of "Frankenstein's M on ster, and whose name has become a pet man. ner for some people to frighten children, is cast as a highly re- spectable surgeon, convicted of treason merely because he gave professional treatment to man who was shot and mortally wounded while trying to escape from prison train.
 Sentenced to Devils Island, the surgeon incurs the displeasure of bklC OIhA NO1AAAiARA3A0A4Vt eS44SA A2~AS ASS is no better after he performs an operation which saves the life of the commandant's little daughter.
 One of the highpoints of the film is the escape of several of the con- victs from the island and brutal treatment meeted out to them upon their capture.
 Supporting Karloff are James Stephenson, Hedda Harrigan and Rolla Gourvitch.
 The roughneck juvenile crew of Little Tough Guys, six strong, with Mischa Auer, Mary Roland and Edward Everett Horton head the elaborate cast of Little Tough Guys Tn Society,"" the second big treat.
 RolIcking in mood, subject and background, the story deals with the bewildered efforts of wealthy society matron to keep her indolent son in bed. Helen Parrish is also included in the cast.

POLI'S

For the first time in the history of the motion picture, the Ken lucky Derby will be seen on the screen in full natural color when Kentucky, filmed entirely in tech- nicolor, opens on the Loew-Poli screen Saturday with Loretta Young and handsome Richard Greene in the starring roles.
 Huge technicolor cameras have now captured every glint of bril- liant color to be found in Americas premier turf classic.
 Kentucky" in no way, just a horse-racing picture, is beautiful romance of the Blue Grass country, having captured the glorious tradi- tion of that state, and a love all fire and pride is the glamorous theme of the story. Lovely Loretta Young and Greene are seen as the two young lovers who are born to the traditional enmity between their families which has carried over since the Civil War.
 Walter Brennan, Academy Award winner, also has a sizable role in the film. He portrays a testy old southern gentleman who knows more about horses than anyone in Kentucky. As Loretta Young's uncle
