Local No. Sc Aids
Sight Campaign
Wdrehousemen Contribute
To Lions Fund To Care
For Needy Children

Local Union No. sc met in regular
session last Monday evening with
President Smith and all other officers
present A very interesting meeting
was held with a fine report from the
resolution committee.
This local made a donation to the
Lions Club movement to purchase
glasses for needy school children. We
all agree this is a very worthy move
ment and suggest all locals help as
much as they can.
We had three brothers visit US from
Local Union No. 121 asking our opin-
ion on an important resolution which
they want to put up at the coming
convention. We would like to see
more out of town visitors with US at
our meetings.
There was delegation present from
the Retail Clerks local. We would
like to see every member of the Broth
erhood get behind this local and help
them in their fight for unionism.
Bank night will be observed next
Monday evening, so come out and
maybe you will win three months dues.
We are still disappointed in the
regular attendance. 1t seems a shame
that out of a membership Of 400 or
more members only about 20 to rs at
tend regularly. 1t would seem that
you should show more concern in re-
CARDS to your trade and come to meet
ings at least once month. It's a poor
policy to grumble about your trade on
the shop and never come to your To-
cal where you have the privilege of
talking it oyer.-O. c.. sc.

April Fool Ddnce
Planned By LUM
Dance Will Be Held After
Regular Meeting-All
Expected To Go

Sebring, Ohio.-Local Union No. 44
met in regular session with a better
attendance than usual. Keep up the
good work, do not depend on someone
else to tell you what happens at the
meetings, as their opinions may not
be the same as yours. There were no
reports from the shop committees.
The local is planning on holding a
dance April 1, after the regular meet
ing There will be tickets sold in the
shops, so try to hel p US in any way
possible by bringing your wife or gal
friend and relax for the evening.
Music will be furnished by union or
chestra.
We wish to congratulate Brother
Jordan on his appointment to the EX-
ecutive Board. We know he will be
good member of the official family.
We were also pleased to see Brother
Steve Leighton appointed on the pic
mic committee. That's reminder for
all members to begin getting their due
books in shape. You cannot register
unless your dues and assessments are
both paid up. This also holds true
when it comes to elect delegates to
the convention, so pay up now.
There will be special Central La
Dor Union meeting on Friday of each
month for all presidents of locals be-
longing to the Central Labor. Good
idea, it will give the men chance to
exchange their ideas and get new
ones. The minutes of all Central La
Dor meetings will be sent to all unions
and that means each local will know
who is fair and who isn't, as they
often have reports which our own To-
Gals do not get.
Beginning Monday, March 18 our
meetings will open at the regular time,
1880 instead of $50. Work is not so
good at the present time, but we are
hoping it will pick up soon. Don't for
get if you have any resolutions, don't
put them on the desk and then Won
der why they are not acted upon. Hand
them to the resolution committee,
that's why they were appointed.
We still have several members on
the sick list and we wish them a
speedy recovery.-O. C. "A.

RoseviIIe LocuI
Gains Strength In
Past Six Months
Members Asked To Ready
All Resolutions Pertaining
To New Wage Scale

Roseville, Ohio.-We, the members
of Local Union No. 1876 feel keenly the
loss Of our dear and beloved brother
Theodore Ashford who passed away
last February 10.
At the last regular meeting we had
a new resolution, governing the work
ing conditions read and lively dis
cussion was held by all present. The
sad part of it all is that we have SO
many good members absent when it
is 80 essential to have each and every
one present to present their views to
be embraced in our working condi-
tions. 1t seems the members are re-
luctant to come to the meetings and
help draft our next agreement. They
seem to forget that each and every
member has the same right to voice
his opinion without any i'll feelings.
AS soon as the men and women who
are organized in this district get it
firmly imbedded into their minds to
look out for Roseville Local Union No.

so far. In the last six months we
have gained more than twelve times
the amount gained the first six months
of 1889 in our treasure.
1t would be wise thing for all the
men and women in our
district to pay strict attention to the
daily newspaper in order to follow up
all the moves which the manufactur-
ers and Chamber of Commerce are
in an attempt to tear apart the
one and only thing that they, the un-
workers, did not have to pay
one red cent for the Wagner Labor
Law.
Now, we are asking all members to
get resolution drawn up for each
type of work performed in each plant

Question Of Added
Work Irks Local 96
Writer Urges All To Work
For Uniformity In
Sanitary

Perth Amboy, N. J.-President
Steve Macy welded the gavel at the
regular meeting of Local Union No.
96, Friday, March 8.
The question of added work on a
piece work job was brought up at
this meeting. More and more our
members are realizing that this added
work will have only one conclusion
and that is the breakdown of mans
health. The shop committee was in
structed to take these complaints up
with the Fords Porcelain Works man.
agement as soon as possible.
The above question we believe is
common in all sanitary shops, due to
the fact that various changes are al
ways being made in the construction
of ware. Local Union No. 1873 in the
March Z issue speaks of stabilization
in the sanitary industry. This should
be affected by the Brotherhood get
ting the sanitary manufactures to-
gether so that uniformity can be
reached. The writer stressed this
question some months back, and it is
pleasing to read the very interesting

aid l guess others have a similar COM
plant. 1t is hoped that all sanitary
locals in the country will send res
\ olution to the coming national conven-

necessity of stabilization of the sani-
tary industry.
Kohler and Kohler is still under
fire at the Perth Amboy Housing

James Solon everything points to the
eventual turning down of Kohler ma

It was reported at the meeting by
the Central Labor Union delegate that
letter was read regarding the form

Post throughout the country. This
letter came from President William
Green and urged the American Legion
members to contact Mr.. George C.

Bricker Placed In
Ohio Driver S Seat
Cleveland OHiciuls Euting
Out of Governors
Hand Now
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-When Cleveland and
Cuyahoga County officials journeyed
to Columbus last week at the invita-
tion Of Governor John w. Bricker to
sit in conferences with the State off
cials on the relief situation, peace and
harmony marked the gathering.
The storm which had been ranging
a few months ago between the city
on the lake and the State Capitol at
Columbus, and which had reverber-
ations heard across the country, has
apparently subsided. 1t had attracted
nationwide publicity; some thought it
had "made" Governor Bricker a pres
idential possibility, while others
thought it had wrecked any chances
he may have had in this connection.
The fact that Mayor Harold Bur-
ton, Of Cleveland, has since become a
candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for United States Senator in
competition with Congressman Dudley
White, of Norwalk, may account for
the Mayors conciliatory attitude to-
ward the Governor.
In the entire conference, if a con-
ference it could be called, there wasn't
even a sign of fight. The Governor
made it plain to the Clevelanders what
he wanted and while Democratic
County Commissioners, smiled and
said nothing, Mayor Burton peacefully
acquiesced in the program outlined by
the Governor.
Briefly, this program contemplates:
l. Issuing s2,O38,O tax delinquency
bonds, provided the Supreme Court
will permit. There is suit pending
in the local courts of Cleveland to en-

With scurrying mattresses and hard
pressed cooks estimating the diners at

all existing records for the National

Committee members were overjoyed,
and perhaps little awed, by the tre-
mendous success which crowned their
efforts. Not only was the dinner ex-
cellent, but the program was on par
with any seen in many year. Larry
Finlay, master of ceremonies, did not
allow the entertainment to lag at any
point while the speakers were interest
