Thanks, Riggs" OLeary said. T wish you hadn't got yourself into that mess last night. I'll do what can to get you of lightly" When OLeary and Carroll were alone again. the lieutenant said suddenly, We're going places, Sergeant. We're going visiting"
 Subdued, Carroll nodded glumly. OLeary consulted his watch. ':I'm going to give you two hours of, Sergeant"
 Maybe I'll go down to Bermuda. " OLesry ignored the crack. "The first thing I want you to do is to call Appleby and tell him to let all his guests go to their homes. They know Riggs was arrested, so they'll think the case is closed. Be back here at 11:30. I think we'll call on Miss Leighton first
 Hazel Leighton's face reflected her shock at seeing the two officers at her apartment door. She looked even older than she had under the kindly lighting s.'stem of Sayler's home.
 Tailoring, she led OLeary and Carroll into the livi.2c rc "''1 asked them to sit down. The lieu near a walnut secretary, placed in the center of jutting solarium at one end of the room.
 We're just checking up on some loose angles" he explained Nothing to recome alarmed over Miss Leighton"

 You can," OLeary said abrupt ly. That letter on the desk - may l see it?"
 Hazel sprang to her feet and started for the desk. NO please, it's personal" Her cheeks were crested with glow of pink OLeary snatched the letter from the writing table before she coulc reach it. "Ill just read the first few lines. If it has nothing to dc with this case, I promise I wont continue"
 I'm not in the habit of letting other people read my correspond. ence," Hazel proclaimed angrily.
 O'Leary said, "I'm sorry," But he was already reading the letter: Jed Darling:
 I'm afraid the party is over. Sayler had me cornered and it was the only way out. The rat tricked me and spoiled our game and now all his little games are over forever. You must know what I mean. You've read it in the papers by now.
 T don't know what will hap pen, but you've got to stick by me I'll get out of here as soon as can.
 T tried to put the deal across the way we had planned. Hon. estly I did, dearest Sayler was just a little smarter than we fig ured. Maybe the next time ."
 Hazel hadn't finished. The of fcers had evidently interrupted her. OLeary handed the note tt Sergeant Carroll.

CHAPTER VIII

Sergeant Carroll tried painfully to suppress 8 yawn as he walked through the marble corridors of Central Police Station the next morning. A policeman's lot, indeed was not 8 happy one, he reflected Especially when something like this Sayler murder business came up.
 What annoyed Carroll most was that Lieutenant CLeary should still insist on playing around with the case after they had man 1n jail charged with the murder. AS far as Carroll was concerned, the dark-skinned Riggs was plainly and simply the murderer.
 Sure, there were some queer angles about the others that hadn't been cleaned up yet. But with a crook like Martin Sayler, there was bound to be plenty of funny business.
 With a shrug of his shoulders, Carroll turned into the detective bureau. He nodded curtly to the man at the desk and walked di- rectly to OLeary's office. The weary sergeant was astonished to see how fresh OLeary looked after the narrowing experiences of only a few hours ago
 Good morning, Sergeant" the lieutenant smiled. Ready for a days work?"
 "After three hours sleep?" Car roll asked sarcastically
 well, duck your head under a faucet or something. Both of us will get a good nights rest, when we clean up this Sayler affair.
 Carroll pushed his hat toward the back of his head and sank down into 8 chair. Chief, thought we had that thing cleaned up. What if Sayler did have George Barbour behind the eight-ball be- cause he discovered Barbour had been dipping his fingers into the till? And what if Sayler was going to toos Hazel Leighton overheard because he didn't love her any more? And what if he didn't want young Appleby to get any money because he didn't like the Waters girl? And what If Mardell did owe him some dough on gambling accountS?"
 OLeary tapped the desk with a pencil. You think we ought to forget all that concentrate or Riggs now?"
 Sure" Carroll insisted. "Ht did the job."
 "How?"
 q don't know. But he was tht only one who had a gun and th' time to do 1t"
 OLeary nodded. Sure, but what If 1t isn't the right gun?"
 "Ain't we got report on 1t yet from the ballistics expert?"
 The lieutenant picked up tht

ISSUANCE of a special U. S. \ aviation commemorative stamp for Aviation Day, Aug. 19, is un- likely. Postal authorities have in- formed proponents of the stamp that the U. s. 6-cent airmail, re- leased May IA, 1888, gave adequate philatelic recognition to the Wright brothers, pioneers of flight. The Coronado commemorative, honoring the Tooth anniversary of the explorations of the Spanish conquistador in the southwest, will be placed on first day sale at Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 2.

Cambridge Kiln
Dispute Is Settled

Cambridge, O.-The regular meet
ing of Local Union No. 122 was held
Monday evening with large number
of members in attendance.
The shop committee reported a salts
factory settlement in the dispute be-
tween the kilnmen. Equal division Of
hours and rotation of day and night
shifts among all the kilnmen was the
final decision. This iron has been on
the fire for sometime and it was a
great relief to have it cooled salts
factorily. Other business of the eve
ming was taken care of in an efficient
manner.
Dan Cupid has not forgotten the
members of Local No. 122. We are
pleased to announce the marriage of
Miss Margaret Eistock to Mr.. Carmen
Lewis and Mrs. Della Lashley to Mr..
William Van Fossen. The Lashley-
Van Fossen nupitals were held at the
Fraternal Order of Moose Hall in
Cambridge. The wedding was attend
ed by approximately 600 friends and
members of the Moose. Mr.. Lewis is
employed as modeler and Van is one

Help Fund To Fight
Vicious Oregon Law

Washington, D. Can appeal to
national and international unions to
assist in the court fight against the
legality of the Oregon anti-labor law
was issued by President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor.
This law was originated by hostile
employers and adopted by referen-
dunn vote in Oregon. The fight to
have the law declared unconstitutional
has now been carried to the Oregon
Supreme Court. The litigation has
cost the Oregon State Federation and
the A. +. of L. substantial sums of
money.
In response to request from the
State Federation, the Executive Coun-
Gil last February decided that affili-
ated organizations be asked to con-
tribute to the cost of carrying on this
litigation.
Pointing out that the law limits the
legitimate operations of organized la
Dor in Oregon and that similar leg
islation has been defeated in other
States, Mr.. Green said in circular
letter:
81 am appealing to national and in
ternational unions to contribute as
generously as possible to fund to be
used in carrying on the fight against
the Oregon AntiLabor Law. This is
an important case affecting all ma
tional and international unions. We
hope and trust that we may secure a
favorable decision declaring the Ore
gon Anti-Labor Law unconstitutional" ;"

Meany, Secretary-Treasurer of the

!. Labor Problems
!. Never Settled
:. By DR.. CHARLES STELZLE !
!: = i i !. !. !. = i 4 :. ! i 4 4 i

There are few labor troubles in
Darkest Africa. 1t is only as we prog
ress toward q more advanced civiliZa-
ton that controversies in the economic
field develop, paradoxical as this may
seem. This is on of the penalties but
at the same time one of the signs Of
human progress. Instead of being
satisfied with a low standard Of living
which halts all progress, civilization
demands that life for all of US shall
become richer and fuller. This means
constant change and adjustment. And
these changes will never cease until
the last days work is DONE
Here are some Of the problems fac
ing Industry and Labor today; First.
changed economic conditions arising
out of the use of revolutionary inven-
tions; Second, the increasing develop
ment of mass productions; Third, the
dislocation of skilled workers through
the use Of machinery; Fourth the COM
petition of low-standard workers in
backward countries which have learn
ed to use the high-power production
methods Of the United States; Fifth,
the higher social standards which are
inevitable in the development of the
human race. These are all determin-
ing factors in the labor situation, in
fuencing both Industry and Labor.
1t is disconcerting to some employ
ers that when they grant all that La
Dor demands in particular contro-
n,.rroy,;,al oho
not to make further demands upon
them. Labor knows that neither In
dustry nor Labor can prophecy as to
the future Labor knows that there
is no standard which can serve as a
permanent basis for future contracts,
excepting certain principles which
are more or less fixed. Too many ele-
ments which are constantly changing
enter into the question. Because of
this the need for adjustment is con-
tinually arising.
But the ability to see and under
stand these problems is not limited to
the men at the top-whatever may be
their professional position in educa-
ton or economics. Among the work
ers there are many who also have the
vision to see and understand them. For
after all, the fundamental facts to be
discovered are basically human and
have to do with life. 1t would there
fore be the part of wisdom for employ
ers to become better acquainted with
men Of this type and to counsel with
them, for they may learn much which
might otherwise be hidden from them.
An important fact to be remembered
in this connection is that Labor will
have an increasingly important place
in world affairs. And with this de-
velopment there will come to Labor a
larger responsibility for the well-being
of all classes.

that has made some of our members
appreciate our organization more has
been that four or five men who have
died since we organized, had they be-
longed to the organization their fami-
lies would have received insurance
money, and in some cases sanitorium
treatments.
We feel there is something wrong
with the people who don't want to be-
long to the union, it is to their ad-
vantage. We know of some who are
not in the organization, who seem to
be very poor workmen, their loyalty
to the company can be questioned and
in several cases they were known to
be dishonest.
We take pride in saying that this
local is run on very economical
basis, due to many loyal and sacrific-
ing individuals and we feel the same
about our national organization.
We hear our resolution committee
has been very busy and several res
olutions have been drawn up to be
presented to the convention.
The progress being made in the east
has pleased the members of this local
very much. We hope to hear all sani-
tary shops are organized 100 per cent
within the next year.

(This is the second of a series OF
articles on the issues involved in the
General Motors elections to be- held
April 17.)
In Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany
elections are held from time to time
to give the people the false idea that
they have some voice in deciding ma
tional policies. But Stain and Hitler
take good care that the people have
no choice in the elections. They can
only vote "Yes."
The same system is enforced in
that American relationships which
masquerade as labor organization
the C1O.
At its last convention in San Fran
cisco many important issues had to
be decided by the delegates. But they
were only permitted to vote eyes" to
the resolutions presented by them by
John l.. Lewis and his associates who
ran the convention. During the en-
tire proceedings which lasted full
week, not single "No" vote was re-
corded on any proposition.
The American Federation of Labor
therefore asks the automobile work
ers employed by General Motors-do
you want to be subjected to dictator
ship? Do you want to surrender con-
troll of your unions policies to die
tator who will tell you when you may
work and when you have to strike?
Anexample of how CIO dictatorship
affects the pocketbooks of the workers
is found in a case now pending before
the National Labor Relations Board.
1t involves runaway shop. This COM
pany for several years prior to 1887
had an agreement with the American
Federation of Labor's Metal Polishers'
Union which called for a wage rate of
$1.10 an hour. To cut labor costs the
company moved its plant to Adrian,
Mich. 1t signed closed shop agree
ment with company union for a
wage scale of 70 cents an hour. Short
ly afterward, the ClO moved in and
forced the dissolution of the company
union. The same lawyer who did this
job for the company then represented
the CIO in wage negotiations which
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1940-04-04
A Message To General Motor Workers!

resulted in an agreement on 45 cents
an hour scale. This was less than
even the company union scale and less
than half of the rate formerly enjoyed
by A. F. of l.. workers in the same
company.
This sell-out cannot be dismissed as
a single, unimportant incident unre-
lated to the CLOS regular policy.
Proof that the CIO has adopted a
definite, scab, wage-cutting policy is
afforded by its present campaign to
sell out building trades workers to
employers.
In New York City, Denny Lewis,
brother of John l.. Lewis, has just
made an offer to contractors to put
men at work for 50 day for an eight
hour day on jobs now held by Ameri-
can Federation of Labor workers at
S11 to $14 day for a six or seven
hour day.
If the CIO wins out in the General
Motors elections, this same policy may
be applied to automobile workers.
Therefore, the American Fedora
ton of Labor says to the automobile
workers of General Motors, if you
want your wage scales protected, if
you are determined to improve your
working and living standards, if you
want to carve out better life for
yourselves and your families, you
must vote Oh April II for the United
Automobile Workers of America, A.
F. of L., which guarantees you demo-
cratic control of your own union and
the power to decide your own union
policies.
