Twice Roosevelt Supporter,
Ii Gives Reasons for
Opposing Third Term

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 19-The
New York Times. which supported
Franklin D. Roosevelt for President
in 1882 and 1886. came out against
a third term today in an editorial
supporting Wendell L. Willkie.
The Times. an independent Dem
ocratic newspaper. has not sup
ported Republican presidential
candidate since 1908 Observing
that it was making its choice in
lone Of the greatest crises of this
Nations history the paper said 1t
chose Mr.. Willkie primarily for
these reasons:
Because We believe he is better
equipped than Mr.. Roosevelt to pro-
vide this country with an adequate
defense; because we believe he is a
practical liberal who understands
the need of increased production;
because we believe that the fiscal
policies of Mr. Roosevelt have failed
diSastrously: because We believe that
at time when the traditional safe
guards of democracy are falling
everywhere it is particularly impor-
tant to honor and preserve the
American tradition against veSting
the enormous powers of the preSl-
dency in the hands of any man Tor
three consecutive terms of Office"
Hits Defense Omissions.
On the first Of these four reasons,
the Times said it recognizes that
the President has taken "a number
of necessary steps in the field of
national defense. but added that
there are number of equally i'm
portant steps which Mr. Roosevelt
has not taken.

stimulating business and expanding
industrial production can be man

editorial said:

professional and Mr.. Roosevelt IS
the amateur
On the domestic policy question,
the paper said it has given its sup
port to the sound social and eco
nomic reforms of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, but declared it be-
lieves the Republican candidate
could be relied upon not to make
some of the mistakes and not to take
some of the risks which Mr.. Roose-
welt has made and taken"
Huge Debt Criticized.
In the field of fiscal policy, the
Times criticized th- fantastic silver
policy" of the Roosevelt administra-
ton, the doubling of the national
debt in seven years and the admin
istration's abandonment of the idea
that "the best contribution it could
make to unemployment and recovery
is to put its own house in order"
The only present hope of check
ing the present trend toward bank
ruptcy," it said, lies IN a change of
administrations.
On the third term question, the
paper stated that in the election of
Mr.. Willkie there is an opportunity
to safeguard a tradition with the
wisdom of long experience behind it. !"

Perth AmboY Members Glad
To Greet Brotherhood
Officials

Perth Amboy, N. J.-At the regular
meeting of Local Union No. 96 Friday
evening, January 27, the conference
committee made their first report in
regards to seeking changes in our
working conditions. There were many
questions brought to light by the COM
mittee and, after a thorough discus
sion, they were accepted by motion.
President Steve Macy, Julius Sabo,
Paul Jankovich, Andrew Madsen,
Steve Nemeth, Felix Shurig, John
Adametz, Andy Vamos, Hugh Church
and Walter H. Lybeck, journeyed to
Trenton, Saturday evening to attend
the 40th anniversary of Local Union
No. as. We were met at the N. B.
of o. P. headquarters by Brother
James Solon, who saw that we got to
Weinmann's Grill in time for the BAN
quet.
Our members were pleased with
the reception they received by the
Trenton brothers and were particular
ly pleased with the introduction to
President James M. Duffy and the
members of the Executive Board. We
hope they don't have writer's cramps
from signing their autographs.

Dor in Europe. In the impending wars
sweeping changes have taken place in
the world.
"Within the last year no less than
four national centers that had rep
resentation in the l. F. T.. U. have
been wiped out as result of ruthless
exploits of Nazi Germany. Czechoslo-
vakia and Poland, Danzig and Memel,
formerly of the l. F. T. u, have now
been taken into the Third Reich. Aus
tria experienced a similar fate a year
ago.
"Today, even as we meet in annual
convention, the linking of Soviet Rus
sia and Nazi Germany in the treaties
of mutual assistance and economic
collaboration may mean the suppress
sion of other national centers which
have previously enjoyed membership
in the International Federation of
Trade Unions.
"And yet the purposes for which
the International Federation of Trade
Unions were brought into being re-
main not only basically sound, but
the need for some agency of interna-
tional collaboration among the free
trade unions has become even more
indispensable.

trade union is the bulwark of de-
mocracy and the sure defense against
totalitarianism. BY the same token

President James M. Duffy of the
National Brotherhood Of Operative
Potters testified against continuance

hope Of Secretary of State Cordell
Hull to renew the act, which is so
detrimental to the potters, for a period
of three years, June /, without sem
ate action. Turn to page 5 for COM
plete testimony Of Mr.. Duffy. That Of
Joseph Wells will be found on page g..
While delivering his prepared state
ment, President Duffy was frequently
interrupted by Assistant Secretary Of
State Henry F. Grady who described
the Brotherhood officials arguments
as political" Mr.. Duffy asserted Mr..
Grady conducted tariff hearings in
"a very autocratic manner"
This is not the first time Mr.. Grady
has used his high office in an attempt
to disrupt the arguments of President
Duffy.
Asked by committee members why
Mr.. Grady called his statements "po-
litical," the n. 3. o. P. chief replied
he assumed it was because they did
not agree with the views Of the AS
sistant Secretary of State.
While President Duffy was deliver
| ing his testimony, Rep. Daniel A.
Reed (R) of New York, a member Of
the ways and means committee, stated
that patterns used by plants under
contract with the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters are stolen
by the japanese, reproduced in their
factories and then shipped to this
country to undersell the original
manufacturers.
Citing one particular case, he OBJ
served, "If this plant were protected
properly, it would be employing 1900
to 1900 persons instead of 300 or 400"
1t was the contention of President
Duffy that the automobile and can
ming trusts" are benefiting from the
trade agreement act to the detriment
Of other industries forced to compete
with cheap-labor, foreign-made goods.

Needs Awakening

Local Union No. 124 had a fairly
good attendance at their last regular
meeting. We have had some very in
teresting problems up for discussion
and the arguments pro and con have
been enlightening. 1t certainly would
be good thing if more of our men,
bers would take an interest in the af-
fairs of the local, then we would re-
ceive much more of the benefits which
should be ours.
Now is the time to present ideas
for resolutions to come before the con-
vention. The resolution committee
composed of Brothers James Slaven,
Roy Thompson, Claire Armstrong,
Sisters, Ruth Sullivan, Ola Weaver,
Lois Coleman, and Mrs. Tranter, are
willing to help with any resolution
any member would like to turn over
to them.
Our delegates to the Trades Council
reported on the McCrory situation

citizens of East Liverpool would be
guilty of disregarding a picket to go
into a place of business which every
one knows is unfair and in some in
stances inhuman. We are all hoping

Notable Achievements of American

A succinct and revealing summary
of the many fundamental benefits
achieved for working men and women
by the influence of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor since it was estab-
lished in 1881 was presented by Will

occasion like this to look back upon
the road we have travelled since the
pioneers of organized labor first es-

Mr.. Green said.
"At that time the trade unions were
hated by business, distrusted by the
public and oppressed by Government.
Today they enjoy the confidence of
our people, the respect of business
and the recognition that is their due
as a necessary and vital part Of the
nations economic structure.
"When the idea of the American
Federation of Labor was first con-
ceived in 1881, handful of scattered
organizations with a membership of
about $4,000 participated in its for

Additional Appropriation Is
Allowed For Work OF
Committee

Washington, D. C.-The nearly
unanimous vote of the House of Rep
resentatives in extending for one year
the life Of the Special House Com
mittee to Investigate Un-American
Activities, and the appropriation of
$4,000 more for the work of the
committee, followed a letter sent to
members of the House of Representa-
tives and the Senate by President
William Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
"The convention of the American
Federation of Labor which was held
at Cincinnati, Ohio, recently" Mr..
Green said, expressed approval of the
work which the Dies Congressional
Committee has performed and Of its
continuation of the investigation which
it is making into the activities of sub
versive groups within the United
States.
"In conformity with this action
taken by the highest authority within
the American Federation of Labor,
am officially requesting that you sup
port such proposal as may be sub
mitted to Congress, providing for the
continuation of the Dies Committee
and of an appropriation sufficient to
enable it to carry on its Investigations.

than those who. may be exposed
through association with communist
organizations, and communist front
organizations, objecting to thorough
investigation into the activities of
subversive groups by Congressional
Committee.
"Those who have no sympathy with
these un-American groups, these sub
versive forces within our social order,
who are constantly seeking to change
our form of government and to pro-
mote revolution, can with perfect
propriety give wholehearted support
to the work of the Dies Committee,
and to the investigation it has made
and which it can continue to make.
"The people of our country are en-
titled to know the truth. We of the
American Federation of Labor want
them to know the facts. We want
those who are undermining our form
of government and those who are en-
gagged in subversive activities to be
exposed.
"Ridicule, denunciation and sar-
casm, all directed toward the Dies
Committee by those who seek to sup
press its activities and prevent it
from carrying on its important work,
can only be looked upon with suspic-
ion. We cannot permit those who en-
gage in such tactics to prevent a
thorough investigation and public
exposure of the actions and of the
activities of individuals and groups

tivities, and who are seeking either

Minerva, O.-Here's Minerva back
in the limelight again and the news
is really interesting, for the Difficult
ties here are the ones that confront
all crafts.
All officers were present at the last
meeting at which we had a good turn
out. President Becknell swung into
the business session rapidly and we
covered lot of real problems in rec
ord breaking time.
We are glad to report that both the
ware boys and the bisque girls have
reached satisfactory agreement over
the hourly division. The stampers
were out in full force but had no
grievance to report. They are waiting
for President Duffy to visit Local No.
70 to settle their controversy. The
local took action to start all finishers
at Z a. m. and not before. This action
was taken to make a more even dis
tribution of the work in the clay shop.
We answered the call for the Fin
nish relief in addition to starting our
March of Dimes. The brothers will
contact you on the shop, so be gener-
Gus in your giving to this worthy
cause.
The recreation committee gave re-
port of their activities. The plan at
present is for Valentine ball to be
held at Minerva Lake Park on Febru-
ary 16. There will be round and
square dancing, bingo, home talent
show and fun for all. Anyone who is
an amateur entertainer please contact
the committee. They need your sup
port and cooperation.
The resolution committee is asking
for resolutions. Please give them the
aid they ask for. There are SO many
things in our daily tasks that need
changed and it is impossible for these
people on the committee to be aware
of all conditions. Tell them now.
Don't wait until the first of May and
then blame your delegates for not
getting anything done in convention. A
meeting of the resolution committee
will be held in the very near future.
We were glad to see a few of our
members visited with the Carrollton
local last meeting night. We would
like to extend an invitation to them
to visit us, we could stand little Of
their support. A number of our peo-
pie have gone to Carrollton to work.
We have had to suspend two of our
members recently, Stanley Kurtz and
Phil Evans.
We had a very interesting member
at our last meeting, unlimited and
without the password. He stood at
attention with both paws on the desk,
while Brother Laughley read all the
official mail. A very frisky little
white dog, owner unknown.
