ed that they be notified three days in
advance on all grievances coming from
the local union, except in case of
an emergency, and that all parties
concerned be present when these griev-
ances are discussed.
A better understanding was reach
ed in regards to delinquent members.
Those suspended and new members
are to join the local in reasonable
length of time and the firm will CO.
operate.
The local has received word that
when unemployment benefits are not
paid us, we will have the right to APP
peal to a board which will be set up in
Charleston, and both sides will have
equal representation.
The behavior Of the membership was
not only admirable, it was remark
able, for in not one single instance
were the members involved in any
trouble. Their cooperation was per
feet and their loyalty 100 per cent
Their conduct has won them and the
local union, which they represented
the respect of the entire community
Work is picking up at the plant

able for jobs, but that the manufac-
turer wanted them to work for 40 per
cent less than the prevailing scale.
"No wonder he found shortage"
said Fleming
All evidence gathered so far, he
added, confirms the report he made
recently to President Roosevelt that
not the slightest need exists to re-
lax the Wage e-Hour law for the sake of
national defense.
Those who claim the law should be
crippled were assailed by Fleming as
"enemleS of labor, posing as patriots" +"
Every country of Europe that tried
lengthening Of working hours to build
up armaments found that latter a
certain point production declines
rather than increases" Ne pointed out.
"Thc requirement for time and one
half pay, after AZ hours, will tend to
keep the workweek down to where it
is most efficient" Fleming contended.
"And, more important, it should in
duce employers to train additional
personnel now.
"We must not forget that we have
pressing responsibility toward our
eight to ten million unemployed" he
concluded.

formed by professional promoters for
the sole purpose of combating legitl-
mate organizational effort, will receive
due attention.
Effort in the entire State of Ore
gon will be included in the campaign.
Oregon has long been under the dom
nance of anti-labor influences with the
result that the unions in that State
have been driven hard and their
treasures constantly depleted by con-
tinued legal action, in order to exist.
Of particular Importance in this in
stance is the gruelling battle being
waged by the Oregon State Federation
of Labor to disqualify the bitterly
drastic and decidedly un-American la
Dor relations law, passed in 1888
when California and Washington turn
ed thumbs down on similar proposals.
Another and perhaps the most I'M
portant local point of action to be
taken will be the Southern California
area, at present practically overrun
by innumerable labor-fghting groups
dominated by the ruthless Associated
Farmers"
"None of these spots where pressure
is used to keep working men and wo-
men subdued, are healthy" Lewis said.
"The strength Of the entire resources
of the American Federation of Labor
will be brought into completely or
ganized play to correct these stu
ations. The effort Of the Associated
Farmers and their underling organiza-
tions at Ventura has brought a strong
realization to us of the immediate
need for concerted action. That is
just what is going to be planned and
accomplished by this conference"

The Mobilization is sponsored by the
Committee to Defend America by
Keeping Out Of War, composed Of 1876
prominent trade union, farm, youth

The West Virginia state baseball
championship again went to Clarks-
burg's fine team which appeared at
the Potters Picnic along with Minerva.
Rain robbed the fans of a great game
that day.
The club made a long journey by
auto to Wichita, Kan, for the national
tourney, but the trip is said to have
been too much for the team. In the
first game with another pottery town
representative, Trenton, the usually
steady first baseman and catcher blew
themselves to six errors in the fatal
eighth inning to drop the opener 1915.
In the second and final game they
were able to get but one hit from the
Kansas champs star twirler and went
down Ito.
With the teaming of the German
American Bund and the Ku Klux Klan
for the good of "Americanism," we
can set ourselves for some startling
results.

When the pOtters received word that
Brother Hull was returning to the
West coast they were pleased, as
Brother Franks advice on questions
is deeply appreciated.
1t is this writer's opinion that the
good attendance at the last meeting
was due 90 per cent to the reports of
the delegates. The other ] per cent
may have been the one dollar fine
which was to be imposed on any
member failing to attend at least one
meeting a month. The sooner some
understand that many heads are bet
ter than a few, the better off this To-
cal will be.
Any man who is so indolent, so un-
interested, so lazy and selfish he can
not spend at least three or four hours
month to help himself, his family
and his fellow man, that man deserves
no better fate than the iron heel of a
dictator. If every man who tolls for
a living shrugged his shoulders to the
wages, hours and working conditions
we would soon have dictator in our
own United States. We make pos
sible our public institutions Of this
great nation, we foot the bills to the
greatest extent. Through our cooper
alton with industry we turn the wheels
of progress. The wheels of industry
must turn lest our children and our
chldren's children fight over the bat
ties our forefathers won. Let the
members Of this union assume their
responsibility in this period Of uncer-
tainty. Let us, every member, ad-
vance in body as a local union

period has ended, is not enough. At
the present time we pay one per cent
of our weeks wages into fund for
this compensation and the firm adds
an equal amount. We would like to
know how other firms and locals
handle this problem, as many feel that
so many things are deducted from our

along that line.

Observe Holiduv
With Satisfaction
Cain Of Over 100000 In
Employment Over
Last Year

The wage earners of America can
observe Labor Day this year with
satisfaction in surveying the gains
they have made in the last 12 months.
Some 100000 more men and women
are on jobs in private industry than
were drawing pay envelopes a year
ago at this time. In that same period
factory pay rolls alone increased near
ly $22,000,00 weekly.
The Social Security Wage and Hour
and Public Contracts Acts and the op-
Grafton of the United States Employ
ment Service, all included in the Ad-
ministration's 7-year program to aid
the Nations workers, have helped to
bring about these improved conditions
for wage earners during the past year.
They have also played an important
part in increasing employment in in
dustry from 26,63O,OOO in March 1898
to 35,600,OOO in July 1910, an increase
of approximately 100000. In addi-
ton some 100000 others are at work
with WPA, CCC and NYA. In this
7-year period weekly factory pay rolls
jumped from only $72 $4,000 in March
1888 to $1S3,240,0O0 representing an
enormous increase of more than $11O,-
100000 weekly.
This increased prosperity has been
shared by farmers and business. Farm
income last year, not including $685.
100000 in benefit payments, was some
S3,0OO,OOO,OO0 greater than it was ir
1882 and American business, as rep.
resented by 2,490 companies, reported
net profits of $3,456,OOO,0OO last yeal
as against huge losses in 1882.

Increase in CeIanese
Debt Approved by
Preferred Holders
Management Program
To Provide Money
For Expansion
BY the Associated Press.

oy tuc haSOCldtEa
NEW YORK, June 27.-Prior pre-
ferred stockholders of Celanese
Corp. of America today approved
management plans for increasing
the company's indebtedness from
$20,000,000 to $50000,000 in order
to provide new funds for plant ex-
pansion, refunding and other cor
porate needs.
Common stockholders approved
these recommendations at a meet
ing on June 20, but because of the
late arrival of proxies from Euro
pean holders there was not a suffi-
cient number of prior preferred
proxies at the meeting to approve
the proposals by that class Of stock
holders.
The new indebtedness could be
bonds, debentures, or other forms,
as determined by the directors.
Company officials said after the
meeting no new plans for further
expansion of plants or other i'm
provements were in immediate
prospect, but that such plans would
undoubtedly receive early considera-
ton now that the financing end of
the program had been cleared up.
The company and its affiliates
have plants at Cumberland, Md:
Celco, Va: New London, Conn;
Williamsport. Pa; Newark and
Arlington, N. j.

Greater Demand Seen
For Farm Equipment
In Coming Months
Good Profit Margins
Are Also Forecast
In Industry Survey
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 27-Greater
demand for agricultural equipment
should be experienced during the
next few months as a result of high
er farm product prices, according
to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. Although manufacturers
raw material costs probably will
continue their recent rise, price re-
strictions on forward buying should
permit satisfactory profit margins
and fair earnings growth.
From the actual marketing of
farm products farmers received
nearly $4,000, ,000,0 during the first
four months Of 1910, a gain of
nearly 10 per cent over the corre-
spending 1899 period" continues
the analysis. Government soil
conservation payments totaled $751;
100000 during January April, 1910,
as against s282 900 900 in the like
1889 months, bringing total farm in
come for the period to roughly
$4,000, 900 900. a IL per cent rise over
corresponding 1899 volume. Al
though farm income probably will
not maintain this rate of improve
ment over last year, since Federal
subsidies will continue to taper OF
from their January, 1910, peak,
$500, 900 900 gain over 1889 appears
to be a logical expectation.
Based on a s per cent rise in
farm fNl1rrto0 einn
turers' sales of farm equipment for
domestic use may reach $3.50 00O0, 900
this year, an IL per cent rise over
the 1889 figure Of $406, 900, 900. Such
an amount, If realized, would ex-
ceed the $409, ,oo0, 900 level of 1888
and would be only II per cent under
the al-time peak of s507 ,0O0, 900
established in 1887. Anticipating an
improvement In demand, manufac-
turers of agricultural implements
have stepped up their production
substantially in recent months.
During January-April. 1910, en-
ployment throughout the industry
was liz per cent greater than in
the corresponding 1889 period.
Exports OF agricultural machin-
cry and implements in January
April, 1910. ran n per cent higher
than corresponding year earlier vol
un1e, with Al per cent rise shown
for April, 1910. Increased farm
mechanization abroad, occasioned in
no small degree by a shortage of
man power in the warning nations.
has been one reason for the recent
sharp rise in exports. Removal of
a large portion of German competi-
ton in South American markets
likewise has been contributing fac
tor. Unsatisfactory currency ex-
change, however, is doing much to
onset the advantages OF the in
creased volume the analysis con-
cludes.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Demand
for domestic corporate and for Ger
man loans gave the bond market
an upward slant today.
Many rail and industrial issues
were up fractions to more than 3
points in late dealings. The broader
buying in these groups seemed to
be based chiefly on hopes of further
business gains in the second half
of the year under the lift of heavy
arms spending.
Outstanding gamers included Wal
worth as, Louisville g. Nashville
AIS, Gotham Silk Hosiery 5s, La
clede Gas 51as and Republic Steel
412s.
A group identified with the Rome
Berlin axis pushed up from l to
around points on light demand.
These included Rhine-Westphali
6s of 1852, Frankfort 61as, Heidel-
berg 712s and Bavaria 61as. Others
improving included Argentine As of
1872, Buenos Aires 4a4s and Ru-
mania Institute rs. Minor losses
were posted for most Italian and
Japanese loans.
Domestic bonds gaining slight
ground included Montana Power
3s4s, International Paper IS, Good
rich 414s, Allegheny SIS of 1949 and
Youngstown Sheet e. Tube As.
Nickel Plate 41as ran up more
than point in early dealings fol-
lowing proposals of the manage
ment to refund the issue by paying
40 per cent in cash and the balance
with new obligations bearing the
same interest rate.
United States Government bonds
were quiet, up 1882 of a point to
down 1882.
Additional gains appeared in the
corporate list in the final hour.
