New Jersey Saturday Bank
Holiday Hardship On
Trenton Potters

Trenton, N. J.-Local Union No. As
had such a splendid turnout last
Friday night that the president hated
to see the meeting come to a close,
while others felt that if the sessions
were short and snappy we would have
better attendance.
Mutual's shop committee had very
good representation and they are al
ways right on the job in deciding
issues. When they fail, the confer
ence committee is always ready to do
what can be done for them. The firm
has always been willing to give US
hearing and great many things
have been ironed out to our advan-
tage.
We hear that the banks of New
Jersey are talking of asking for a rul-
ing to be closed on Saturday morn
ings the year round. In which case
we still believe we should either be
paid in cash or some arrangement
made whereby we would not have to
depend on the saloon keeper, the gro
GER or some such person to cash our
checks.
In three or four weeks time the To-
cal hopes to put on another good So
social like we had at our fish and chip
supper a week ago. So please hand in
your suggestions and watch the Herald
for the date.

Trudes and Labor Council's {
FortY-Sixth BirthdaY
Observed By 200
CAIRNS-LYDEN TALK
Presidents of West Virginia
and Ohio State Federd-
tons Present

Excellent addresses delivered by dis
tinguished speakers, good entertain
ment featuring group singing and a
fine dinner made the forty-sixth an
niversary banquet of the East Liver
pool Trades and Labor Council held
last night in the parish house of St.
Stephens Church an outstanding event
for close to 200 guests.
Thomas Cairns, president of the
West Virginia State Federation of La
Dor, pointed out to those present that
the organized labor movement does
not only mean the bringing of people
into organizations, but the protection
of industry. He made it clear that
labor also aids those who invest their
money in the manufacturing of an
article as we'll as the employees.
He likened non-members to hitch
hikers who have all the advantages,
but refuse to pay the fare. He re-
minded his audience of the many
things labor, through the American
Federation Of Labor, has achieved for
the workers such as the Wage and
Hour law, Social Security, National
Labor Relations act, Unemployment
Compensation and the like. Admitting
that many changes were needed, the
labor official, who in 1900 was vice
president of Miners in Sub Division l
of Ohio, stated that the laws were
new and it took time to perfect them.
Mr.. Cairns advocated state Wage
and Hour laws, stating that women
should not be permitted to work for
less than 80 cents an hour. He also
said that men who have given the best
years of their life to produce the
wealth of the country should be pro-
vided for. He would have the age
limit reduced from 65 years and en-
large the benefits. He would also see
that all children were given the ad-
vantage of at least high school edu-
cation and not permit them to start in
the shops and mines before they had
reached the age Of 18.
Speaking of the labor saving ma
chimes which made it possible for this
country to produce more goods in 1889
than in 1929 with million less work.
ers, he said the labor movement is the
only one which has come forward with
any solution. The A. F. l.. has ad-
vocated the reduction of hours per
day from eight to six which would
give the workers more time to enjoy
life and more time in which to spend
their money. With an annual increase
in population Of one-half million, we
can't expect to find jobs for all if
hours are not cut, he stated.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
PICNIC GOES TO IDORA

The National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters' Golden Anniver-
sary Picnic will be held in beauti-
full Idora Park, Youngstown, on
Saturday, June Is. This was the
decision of the picnic committee at
a meeting held last Saturday night
when five park representatives
brought forth the advantages to be
found by the Brotherhood members
and friends at their respective play
grounds.
Believing that Idora held an ad-
vantage in location, parking facili-
ties, pleasant surroundings, safe
rides for children as we'll as adults
and layout, the members of the
committee chose this park in an
effort to bring the greatest picnic
since 1894, the Brotherhood's first,
to the largest number Of potters.
Subcommittee were named to
start planning an entire day of
amusement. Don't forget to mark
the day, it's only fifteen weeks
away.

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-You have
heard of members Of the Legislature
drawing pay for sessions they did not
attend, for meetings that were never
held and being paid mileage to and
from their homes when they remained
at home or in Columbus but here's bad
news for the Solons.
Members of the Ohio General AS
sembly are not eligible for unemploy-
ment compensation, even thought they
may have become separated from en-
ployment in private industry in which
they are engaged when the Legisla-
ture is not in session.
Administrator H. C. Atkinson has
so ruled in an opinion to member
of the last General Assembly, whose
name he did not divulge. Members
of the Legislature are paid an annual
salary of $4,000 year. The ruling

Washington Avenue
 Bridge Open Again
Traffic Resumes Following Repairs Engineer Be-
 Iieves Structure Will Survive Two More Years

The Washington avenue bridge, source of a spirited controversy since it was closed for repairs last spring, was open to traffic tdoay. Reopening of the bridge will ease traffic jams that have developed near it and eliminate lengthy de- tours which have been necessary.
 According to statement by City Engineer Charles A. Root when the repairs were being planned, they would make the bridge passable to limited-weight traffic for two or three years"
 The bridge was first closed to al- low temporary repairs to be made. It developed, after the planking had been removed, that the structure was in a precarious condition and, that new iron work was needed. Some authorities declared that new bridge was needed, that tenn pororary repairs would not make the structure safe enough. Factory en- gineers declared that new bridge was needed, and that repairs would be useless. Supt. of Streets Herbert Scott-Smith concurred in this opin- lon.
 After weeks of discussion, 1t was decided not tc build 8 new bridge, since funds were not available. City Engineer Charles A. Root then as- serted that repairs could be made. and after further delay it was voted to let the contract for new iron work and nlake other temporary repairs.

William Allen White Committee Urges Drastic Action;
 Local Chapter Joins in Nationwide Movement

Miss Elizabeth Curtis, executive vice-chairman of the local chapter of the William Allen White commit tee, issued the following statement this morning: "The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies has been honored by MT. Stuart, the chairman of the newly formed America First Committee in saying that this isolationists organization was patterned as a counter to ours. There could be nothing more hatter- ing than opposition from a group of people bent as these are on keeping our country unprepared and unde- tended in a world of Comunist-N -Nazi propaganda.
 One wonders how much the polit- ical aims of such diverse characters as Lindbergh, Oswald Willard, Alice Longworth, Henry Ford and General Hugh Johnson enter into this curi- ous alliance. They all wish to stop aid to Britain while MT. Ford and MT. Willard have long been avowed pacifists. On analysis when a person assumes an illogical point of view one can usually trace it to some per- sonal or political spite.
 ITO anyone. politically unpreju- diced, it is obvious that American interests are identical with those of the British empire now standing between Hitler and the United States and fighting alone for the freedom of the whole world.

DEMPSEY HAS DATES MIXED
Ex-Heavyweight Champ Fails to Appear in Nau-
 gatuck for Talk

,Naugatuck, Oct. l8-Jack Denp- sey, ex-heavyweight champion, who did not appear yesterday for & speaking engagement here through a misunderstanding. was to speak this afternoon at the corner of Ma pie and Water streets at BIS D. m. A mistake in the schedule was re- sponsible for MT. DeiEpseyis failure to appear yesterday, Burgess Joseph Dinney, Democratic town committee head, explained.
 Several hundreds had gathered to see the former chmapion, including number of women.
 Congressman J. Joseph Smith gave short talk, predicting that if the Republicans are elected to pow- CT, conditions will return to the state they were in under the last G. O. F.. administration, and reminded that when banks were closed, people were losing their homes and jobs, the country sought a leader and found him in the person of PreSi- dent Roosevelt. He stressed the number of laws advantageous to labor and to the common man that have been passed under the Roose- welt administration and asked if the Republicans will repeal any of these. He said they have promised not to cu' relief or change the labor law but they are against the Roosevelt administration, he said.
 He said the fine response of men to registration illustrates the deter imitation of the people to make the nation so strong that no nation will attack it, and urged continued unit as the best defense" The men .and women who work in our industries, here in Naugatuck as in the rest of the country, have cooperated mag nificently in the great preparedness program" the congressman said.
