For March IL

Local Union No. q will hold a
smoker in celebration of the fortieth
anniversary of the signing of the uni
versal wage agreement in 1900 by the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters, Monday night, March II.
Chairman George Turner has an
nounced that his committee is plan
ming real entertainment and lunch
for the occasion. He is assisted by
Edward Turner, James Turner, Louis
Peislock, Max Uhlworm and Jack
O'Malley. Paul Stone and Norman
Hall head the entertainment commit

Local Union No. 4, now composed
of the East Liverpool district casters,
was originally the East Liverpool To-
cal, one of the initial five to comprise
the Brotherhood.
Of the men who struggled over the
shapes and prices of the various ware
in the different plants of 1900 to pres
ent an acceptable list to the manufac-
turers, Edward Miller, Patrick Quinn,
John McCarron, James Heckathorn
and T. J. Duffy are the only ones
thought to be alive today. Others to
comprise that committee were: Presi-
dent A. S. Hughes, James Miles, Will

Joseph Lawton.

hood, Local Union No. has been ever

Wheeling Wishes to Know
All Congressmen Voting
for Reciprocal Treaties

Wheeling, w. Va.-Local Union No.
6 has just about completed plans for
their anniversary party to be held Sat-
urday, April 27. At present we are
trying to obtain the Columbia Club
which is more spacious than the reg
ular meeting hall.
We regret to report that Brother
William Fenton, nightwatchman at the
plant who suffered a heart attack re-
Gently, passed away. Brother Fenton's
body was removed to Trenton, n. j..
for burial. He was well known
throughout the trade having spent
more than forty years in the pottery
business in different localities.
According to accounts in the news
papers, the Hull-Roosevelt Reciprocal
Trade Treaties with foreign nations
will be extended for another three
years, having passed the United States
Congress, going before the Senate,
where quick passage is expected. If
ratified by that body the United States
will continue to be plagued with
cheaply made foreign goods on our
markets. Secretary Cordell Hull and
his associates in the trade program
seem to have lost all interest in the
American workman when they insist
upon aiding our foreign neighbors at
the expense of our own workers, by
permitting competitive products to be
shipped to America under low tariffs.
Most of the foreign nations sell the
United States competitive goods and
in turn purchase war materials with
the money received. Indirectly, the
American people are helping to con-
tinue the wars in Europe Every pot
ter should vote against any congress
man or senator who favored the Re-
ciprocal Trade bill.

Administration Beats Down
All "a Amendments As
Bill Goes To Senate
TO HEAR EVIDENCE
Resolution Expected To Be
Brought To Floor EdrlY
This Coming Week

The House passed without amend
ment and sent to the Senate last
Friday the Administration resolution
to extend for three years the authority
for executive negotiation Of recipro-
cal trade agreements. The vote was
ZIG to 168. Just before that the House
had declined, by 22l to 163, to recon-
nit the measure to the Ways and
Means Committee for changes.
The Senate Finance Committee
opened public hearings on the resolu-
tion Monday morning with Secretary
Hull as the first witness. 1t was
planned to devote only few days to
hearings, since the Senate has avail
able the three huge volumes Of hear
ings over which the Ways and Means
Committee labored for three weeks,
and to bring the resolution to the floor
next week.
For more than eight hours Demo-
cratic whips kept enough votes avail
able to beat off twenty-four amend
ments. The closest the Administra-
ton came to defeat was on an amend
ment by Representative Disney, DEM
ocrat, of Oklahoma which would have
exempted from the field of trade
agreement negotiation the excise tax
es on imported oil, copper, coal and
lumber. This was beaten by 164 to
155 on a teller vote.
Says Republicans Beat Him
Afterward Mr.. Disney, who was
one of the tellers, said it was actu-
ally beaten by seven or eight Repub-
licans who voted only when they saw
the question was very close. 1t was
his belief that these Republicans help
ed down his amendment in the hope Of
making the whole resolution more
repugnant to the House
An amendment by Representative
Crowther, Republican, Of New York
be subjected, before proclamation, to
both houses of Congress, was rejected
by teller vote of 161 to 144.
Representative Coffee, Democrat,
Of Nebraska sought to require Sem
ate ratification by two-thirds vote,
as in the case of treaties, and was de-
feated by teller vote of 1T to 157.
By voice votes, the House rejected,
among others, an amendment by Rep
resentative Crowther to restore the
former privilege under which an ag-
grieved producer might sue to prevent
the importation of competitive prod
ucts; an amendment by Representative
Reed, Republican, of New York to pro-
hibit the lowering of duties to point
which would not equalize the differ

ConqresSmon Hits $
Trade Treaty Act
On House Floor
Compares American Wages
To Those Paid Foreign
Competitors

In the House on Wednesday of last
week at Washington, Congressman
Earl R. Lewis of St. Clairsville, criti-
cized the administration reciprocal
trade agreement program. Mr.. Lewis
has been particularly active against
perpetuation of the Hull trade agree
ment pacts and in his speech on the
floor of the House he bitterly con-
demned this whole administrations
trade agreement policy, claiming that
it is driving American markets away
from the products produced by Amer
lean labor and is letting into this
country wholesale quantities of prod
ucts produced by pauper-paid laborers
of foreign countries.
Lewis stated that 900 Of the total
cost of production Of handmade
glassware is labor cost and that the
labor paid in the manufacture Of for
eign glassware is only 16c per hour.
while in this country such laborers are
paid an average Of 66c per hour.
He also stated that more than 900
of the total cost of pottery in this
country is labor and the average wage
paid in America for pottery workers is
Toe per hour while in foreign coun-
tries, notably Japan, such labor is only
paid &c per hour.
The Congressman also entered his
objections against the importation Of
coal from Russia and stated that last
year Russia had sent into this country
100000 tons of coal, mined by labor
that was paid but a few cents per
hour. He stated that recently a trade
agreement has been entered into with
Venezuela by the terms Of which the
excise tax of one-half cent per gallon
on fuel oil was reduced to one-fourth
cent per gallon, and that fuel oil is the
greatest competitor of all the other
fuels. That by this agreement millions
of tons of American produced coal are
displaced annually by fuel oil throw
ing thousands of coal miners out of
jobs. He urged approval of bill by
Representative Smith to increase the
excise tax on imported fuel oil from
one-half cent to three cents a gallon.
He also spoke in behalf the steel
industry and stated that in certain
parts of this country certain Ameri-
can steel products have been almost
entirely driven from the market. That
Belgium in 1888 paid her steel workers
19c per hour while in this country
they are paid 84c per hour.
Congressman Lewis also stated that

McCrorY's Unfair
Joint Fish Fry Scheduled For
Saturday. March 9Th. In
N. B. Q. P. Hall

Local Union No. 12 met Tuesday
evening with President Larry Finlay
conducting the business of the eve-
ming.
Our social committee composed Of
Guy Digman, Charles Blazier and Ed
Shingler made arrangements for a
blow out at the Crockery City Banquet
room. Everyone attending enjoyed
themselves. Many of the members at
tended the Trades and Labor Council
banquet held at St. Stephens Parish
House Wednesday evening. 1t was
quite a successful affair, with every
one enjoying the speakers of the eve
ming.
Don't forget the fish fry Saturday,
March 9. Locals IL and So are spon-
soring this get-to-gether at the N. B.
Of O. P. banquet hall. A good crowd
is expected and we know everyone will
enjoy the fish dinner.
Brother Harry Podewel, member of
our local, has been appointed by Pres
ident James M. Duffy to serve on the
picnic committee this year. The pot
ters will celebrate their Golden Ju-
bilee in 1910, so we expect the picnic
to be some affair.
There was quite discussion at the
meeting about the jiggering machine.
The committee who has been working
on this has done good job so far.
This machine is quite a problem no
matter what the outcome might be.
The old maxim holds true: "a ma
chine does not eat, neither does it
buy"
We are sorry to note E. NJ. Knowles
plant has slumped in production and
hope it doesn't last for long.
Local Union No. 12,' went on rec
ord placing the McCrory Company on
the unfair list. All members and their
families are asked to deal elsewhere.

Ability of Home
Towners Amozinq
To Minerva Local
Roller Skating Act Is High
Spot On Entertainment
Program

Minerva, Ohio.-Local Union No. 70
is quite pleased with the turnout at
the last meeting, there were fifty-one
members present With all officers in
attendance. President Becknell cover
ed the business of the evening in
short time.
The dance committee gave detail
ed report of the most gala affair of
the season. Although the committee
was responsible for the work the sup
port of the members made the success
possible.
The home talent displayed during
the program was fine. Brother James
Woodward gave a number of popular
songs and we could have listened to
many more. Brother Harry Hern had
the novelty spot of the evening and
his cowboy renditions lived up to his
title of "The Gene Autrey of the Gro
min China" Sister Viola Saltsman's
daughter, Margaret Ann, offered two
readings and a tap number. This
youngster is really an able elocutionist
and she is bound for dramatic success.
The high spot of the evening should
go to the roller skating act presented
by Misses Dorothy Mckenzie, Agnes
Garbett and Bud Hines. These young
sters really have something. They
are home town kids who have learned
their skate act at our own little rink.
They can put to shame quite a few
of the professionals on the road. A
swing act, a climbing through act and
and several spinning novelties kept
the audience in suspense. The applause
did not come as quickly as possible,
but it was due to the fact that we were
amazed to find such ability lying loose
in our own community. Any local put
ting on an entertainment will not do
wrong in getting these youngsters to
perform.
This part of the program was under
the supervision of our able master Of
ceremonies, James Loughley. The re-
mainder Of the evening was spent
dancing to the music of Roberts Band.
Hats, horns, serpentine and balloons
helped keep the fun going. The To-
cal membership seemed we'll pleased
with the success Of the event and we
hope to repeat it in the near future.
We had a report from the resolu-
tions committee and they have some
fine resolutions ready. They will be
read again at the next meeting for
legal action on them.

Census Takers To
Report On Living
Conditions In US
You Will Be Asked The Con-
dition of Your Home
Repdirs Needed

"The first and only complete sta
tistical record presenting all the facts
about the houses in which 33 million
American families live will be COM
piled by the Census enumerators in
April" according to John B. Fickes,
District Supervisor of the Census for
this district.
"For years it has been the conten-
tion Of many, declared Mr.. Fickes
"that the expansion of home con-
struction was essential to bring
about a return of prosperity. But ex-
perts have never been able to obtain a
composite picture of existing housing
facilities, nor obtain even an approx
mate demand for additional homes.
This lack of information has made
private capital timid about entering
the field with any long-range, sys-
tematic development plan. The Gov
ernment and cities have beeen making
efforts to stimulate home building but
the lack of factual data has acted as
a deterrent to these efforts"
According to District Supervisor
Fickes, Congress decided that an
actual, factual survey would be neces-
harry to obtain an exact measurement
of housing needs as preliminary step
to the development of plan which
would invite private capital to meet
the need. So when the Census enum-
orator calls on every family in April
he will seek information from each
family on the type of structure in
which it lives. He will ask how old
the building is; what material it is
made of; whether it is located in a
city or on a farm, and whether or not
it is in need of major repairs.
