wherein YOU DO ALL The WORK

Editor:
The present administration, with its
tariff and foreign policies, recall to
memory the great Tex Rickard when
he was about to stage "battle of the
century" between a champ and a
"paloOka."
Tex was, while the administration
is, master of ballyhoo. The former
knew, just as the latter knows, the
value of the build-up. Those who re-
member the propaganda and ballyhoo
of 1916-1917, which was required to
drag US into the last European argu-
ment, will readily see the analogy. If
by election time in 1910 there should
be no actual crisis, leave it to our state
department to create one. Then you
will be told not to swap horses while
crossing the stream Just another
giant red herring to distract attention
from the abysmal failure of the admin
istration to solve the unemployment
problem.
When either Mussolini or Hitler
finds himself confronted with bad
cCOIlOilllC NSiIIuit
and the people are told to tighten their
belts. This procedure allows the peo-
pie to forget the present and hope for
the future Now we find our inter
nationally y-minded administration plag-
iarizing the copyrighted policy Of the
dictators.
Now that we are arming for peace
it should no longer be necessary to
keep in force the so-called reciprocal
trade treaties negotiated by the Hon
orable Cordell Hull, Secretary of
State, in the interests Of peace. The
ink on Hull's report of a successful
pow WOW on the equator had scarcely
dried when the Argentine government
issued decree reducing her imports
from the United States by $35 ,000,-
GOO. A very successful sojurn, Mr.
Secretary.
Mr.. Albert A. Johnson, president of
the "Buy American" Institute sheds
some interesting light ON our tariff
>spalicy. To quote Mr.. Johnson, To-day
in America we are warmed with coal
from far off Russia, clothed in part
with cottons from Japan and woolens
from Europe, shod with shoes from
CZechoslovakia, and above all are fed
with hams from Poland, bacon from
Ireland and the meat products of
South America

By Proposed Pact
Representative Scion Makes
Detailed Explanation
Of Propositions

Perth Amboy, n. 1.-The reading Of
the proposed agreement held the in
terest of the members Of Local Union
No. SO at their last regular meeting,
March 10. Brother James Solon, rep
resenting the Executive Board, gave
a detailed explanation of various prop
ositions. These were given serious
consideration by the members and &C
cording to the opinion of all present
a strong determination was shown tc
have an agreement with the Fords
Porcelain Works.
Primary election for national off
GERS was held with very good vote
to turn into headquarters. We hope
everyone will be pleased with the out
come of the election. OF course we
realize it is very hard to please every
one; that is impossible.
Brother Thomas Kelly, president of
the Central Labor Union and the
Teamsters' Union was scheduled to
speak at our meeting, but during the
course of the meeting telegram was
received stating that due to serious
labor trouble in Camden he would be
unable to attend.
1t was reported that there is al
present bill before the New Jersey
State Legislature, Bill No. AZ, which
was introduced by labor's arch enemy,
Senator Foran. This bill, if passed
will make it impossible for men hav-
ing any work in connection with hand
ling Of food stuffs to organize union.
Labor's position as regards to the
passage of any labor Legislature is
very slim, so says Mr.. Vincent Muir
ply, A. +. of l.. Secretary. This,
Brother Murphy contends, is due most
ly to convincing politicians, such as
Senator Foran of Hmterdon County
and Assemblymen Fred De Voc OF
Middlesey County. Assemblyman De
Voc, who is leader in the Assembly,
has always appeared to be on the side
Of labor, but according to reports he
is nothing but "two timer" All union
organizations in New Jersey should
contact their representatives to vote
against "SENATE BILL NO. A."
Brother Turkus of the entertainment
committee cited few of the sug-
gestions for good time on our
twenty-first Anniversary on April IA.
He assured the members there will be
something that all who attend will en-
joy.-O. c. 96.

At Local Union l35
Roseville Local Continues to
Receive Many New
Applications

Roseville, O.-After some absence
from the columns Of the Herald, Lo-
cal Union No. 1876 returns with the
news and views of Roseville.
A 100 per cent attendance marked
the last meeting of the organization
when the primary election for national
officers was held. Looking over the
ballot, we see the names of some
mighty fine men.
Applications for membership would
seem to be on the upgrade. We re-
ceived five at the last meeting, while
obligating two with more in sight. 1t
looks as though we are still in the
business.
We would like to see all members
of the various shop committees pres
ent at every meeting. 1t is your duty
to be present to bring your ideas to
the fore. At one meeting some very
special business was brought to the
floor but action could not be taken
because some of these members were
absent.
| saw an item in the Herald re-
Gently which stated: "lf you are on
the right track and sit down you may
be run over"
Work remains good; appears to be
improving in fact. We hope it is the
same throughout the industry. We
haven't heard anyone complain about
not having enough work.
Sister Sylvia briggs suffered re-
lapse after only few days back OF
the job. After long illness she was
declared in good health and came back
to her bench, but she is now agair
confined to her bed, we are very sorr!
to report.

Duffy called upon Governor Bricker

sons long list include II 100000 dozen
pieces of pottery ware and nearly a
half billion bushels of grain (barley
corn and wheat). These figures are
for 1897. AS tax payer, you paid to
have the little piggies "liquidated' be-
fore they had a chance to say Harry
Hopkins" and you are still paying the
farmer to sit down, something the Su-
preme Court has held to be illegal.
The writer thinks it well, he pro
ceeded no further along these lines
since he may be investigated for sub
versive activities.

Full Membership
Is Aim Of L. u. 100
Delinquent Members Cut To
Two In Past Week As
Two Pay Fees

President Floyd Jividen presided at
the regular meeting of Local Union
No. 1870. We. had a very large attend
ance with many new faces throughout
the crowd. Our meetings are becom-
ing more enthusiastic each meeting
night; keep up the good work, fellows.
We had Brother Patrick Lynch with
US last meeting night. This is the first
for a long time, but we would like to
see him become steady attender as
he is an excellent member and would
do the meetings lot of good.
A withdrawal card was issued to
Brother Kenneth Kimble, fireman
from Laughlin No. a; transfer card
to Oliver Densmore, freman's helper
from No. 8. These two brothers have
both been advanced to better jobs
and we hope they find pleasure in
their new work.
In our last article we reported we
had four delinquent members. Well, it
has been cut to two members who are
three months in arrears. We are not
going to print the names this time,
but from now on if we have any de-
linquents their names are going in the
paper. SO if you don't want to see
yourself in the Herald under the de-
linquent title, keep your dues paid up.
We are aiming at one hundred
per cent local, it won't be hard to at
tain if the members are willing to
work together and help get in all
stragglers. We have one man who
promised sometime ago to pay his re-
instatement fee in payments. He has
paid $3.50 and hasn't been to local or
paid any since. We do not know why
this Brother wishes to do this way as
he should know that we are going to
have him in the local, we still insist
we are going to be one hundred per
cent-O. G.. 130.
