Labor Demands Real Partnership With
Cupitul In Production, Watt Declares

find common agreement to many basic
objectives.
Labor does not ask all of it's men,
bers to subscribe to single program.
Instead our program is shaped and re-
shaped according to the expressed will
of our members through their repre-
sentatives.
l assume you want fairly broad
view of our hopes and problems rather
than a summary Of resolutions adopt
ed at labor conventions. l shall give
you my opinions freely, but want you
to realize that l am expressing my
own appraisal.
American Labor today wants to be
recognized as the partner Of capital
in production, as the customer of
capital in distribution, as the majority
voice in political democracy, and as
the substantial center Of our COM
munity life.
Those aims may seem revolutionary
to some and as mere platitudes to
others. Personally l regard them as
healthy and constructive and Ameri-
can. l believe that they are truly con-
servative in the best interests of de-
Tending the capitalist system of eco
nomics, and the representative system
of a political and social democracy.

This Yeur

Grafton, w. Va.-With 1889 getting
under way this Local intends to make
it the best year in history by striv-
ing for a one hundred per cent mem
bership. Practically everyone work
ing under the jurisdiction of Local SO
belongs, with the exception of a few
laborers who cannot see the advantage
of joining even though their present
wages are under fifty cents per hour.
However, until they do join, this To-
cal will not stand up for them in any
way, but we believe they will see the
light in the very near future and be-
come members.
Work at the Carr China Company is
continuing to improve and the New
Year begins to look as though a
change for the better is in sight for
the pottery industry, unless some po-
litician in Washington decides to
throw another wrench in the cog of
American industry, by drafting one of
those trade treaties with Japan. We
do not believe that will happen, but

plete mobilization on the national

ternational unions, representing 4,OOO,-
900 members, have pledged their sup

result only in ultimate victory. Our

Need Of Cooperation Among
Sanitary Heods Now
Being Seen
OFFICERS ELECTED
Herb RidglY Narned to Lead
New Castle Local For
Six Months

New Castle, Pa.-The last issue O.
the Herald states that a great effor
will be made to organize the unorgan
lied potteries. The members of Loca
1873 are very, we'll. pleased with this
statement and it gives US an answer
to the action which we took up at ou,
last meeting.
Our secretary was instructed te
write to all sanitary locals asking fol
suggestions in the hope that some
remedy would be found for our situa.
tion.
We have men at the head of organ.
lied sanitary shops who have seen the
need of cooperation among all sani.
tary plants in order to save us from
ruinous competition. This competition
tends to bring the wages of the work.
ers down to that of laborers and il
hasn't been so long ago that this con-
dition actually existed. Skilled work.
men were giving the people product
that had to go into every home al
wages which just bought the bare
necessities.
We realize that the workmen in the
unorganized shops are, to a certain
extent, responsible for cut-throat
prices, and we are willing to put our
money into an organization that is
making an effort to remedy this stu
aticn.
The following officers were elected
to serve for the next six months at
the last regular meeting of the local:
Herb Ridgly, president; Shirl Myles
vice president; Roy Boston, recording
secretary; Mike PAMELA, defense Sec
retary; H. M. Stevens, financial Sec
retary; Joseph Flynn, treasurer; Jo-
seph Fortune, guard; Hershell John
son, inspector; Harry Mehlman, sta
tistician; Charles Vigne, trustee.
The retiring officers have left the
local in excellent shape and the men
will have to step out some if they ex-
[pect to do better job. The cooper
alton Of every member will be needed
to make 1889 as good year as 1888,
We cannot understand why our
large industries cannot compete with
those Of foreign lands. The working
men of this country produce two to
ten times as much as those of the
foreign industries. Our large concerns
have installed machinery which in
most cases need but few workmen to
run them, yet we still seem unable
to compete. Just what is the answer
With profits of $96,OO0,0OO in one
year for U. S. Steel, and we will not
even mention the salaries of the high
er officials, it would seem to this
writer that we should not have any
trouble holding South American trade
Some of those who receive the large
end of the profits seem to think the
wage earners are being over-paid
But the worker must buy the products
Of industry to keep them going. Tell
me what is wrong. tell me why
100000 people in this country
can't find a job.-O. C. 1873.
