Mai. Hershey Tells
Conscription Merits
In T ak to Club

Unity at home and q better army

Service Committee, declared yes

Addressing a summer study group
OF the Woman's National Demo-

Hershey said the American people
haven't taken much personal in

If you broaden its base, how
ever" he said, you are going to

men, ETC., that you don't demand as

Recalling a spirit of unity in his

War, Maj. Hershey expressed the
belief something similar would take
place in the event Of conscription.
Without debating the merits of

Hershey explained how its provi-

later answered questions.

Minerva, O.-Minerva is back again
with her bit of news. Local Union
No. 70 went into session last Friday
evening at the usual time with full
house and all officers in the hall. The
meeting was lengthy one and we had
a: short address by George Ingram
who is running for senate.
He gave US very able talk on the
premium situation in the senate and
on the "Buy American" campaign with
it's effect on the buying public. Also
the effect on the pottery situation if
premium buying is stopped in this
state. 1t will surely knock the pins
out from under our own particular
plant. At least two-thirds of the
sales of our company are to premium
buyers. His. talk was absolutely non-
partisan. Remember these things when
you go to the primaries on May IA.
The ware boy situation remains
just about the same, lot of difficulty
but no actual way to iron it all out.
The resolution committee gave it's
final detailed report on the resolu-
tions for the coming convention. The
discussion became rather heated when
the committee was accused of unfair
ness. None of the members of this

Interest Mounts In Potters Golden
Anniversary Picnic At Idord Park

With the amount of interest that is
being shown in the coming Potters
Golden Anniversary Picnic by every
one connected with the trade, it can
hardly help being the most success
full of the sixteen thus far held by the
committee representing the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters.
Committees have been named in
eastern, western and southern locali-
ties to gather information about
chartering buses to Idora Park in
Youngstown, Saturday, June Is. Far
distant locals are concerning them
selves with the planning of automo-
bile caravans to the popular play
ground while great interest is being
exhibited over the $1400 Nash to be
given away for a dime. Tickets are
going at rapid rate and many are
going to the Ohio Motor Sales show
room on West Fifth Street to view
the beauty.
The boxing bouts should be ex-
ceptionally good if the amount of pro-
moters contracting the committee for
the chance to demonstrate what they
can do means anything. Probably
never before have SO many sought to
put on a fight show for the potters.
The ball game is another feature
that is drawing a great deal of at
tention. Many teams have written in
showing great records compiled dur
ing the past few seasons. 1t is the

| hope of the committee to pick the two
best teams available for the champ
ionship match. 1t looks like hard
job, but all information possible is be-
ing sought in the hope that the best
talent obtainable outside the big
leagues will take the field picnic day.
We don't like to give the women
any bad ideas and have them prac-
ticing on their husbands for distance
and accuracy, but it has been rumored
that the weaker sex" will have an
opportunity to see what they can do
with an old fashioned rolling pin.
Latest word from the park manage
ment has all rides being given a thor

and concessions are being given a
fresh coat of paint so the park will be
in tip-top shape for the coming of the
potters, one of the first big picnics of
the year.
Those working on this years outing
and reunion appreciate all the sug-
gestions that have been received. They
will all be given close attention. One
request for bowling match, however,
seems impractical since it would mean

MeanY Hits CIO Woil Against Craft
Unit Provision In Norton Amendment

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-Pro-
vision in the Norton bill, amending
the National Labor Relations Act, to
permit workers of a particular trade
to decide themselves whether they
want a craft or industrial union, was
vigorously championed by Secretary
Treasurer George Meany of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor in letter
to Representative Mary Norton.
The letter replied to recent criti-
cism of the proposal by President
John l.. Lewis of the CIO and cited
facts which Meany said made the op-
position to the amendment "appear
ridiculous"
Writing to Mrs. Norton in her ca
pacity as chairman Of the House La
Dor Committee, Meany said:
The purpose of the National Labor
Relations Act is to give workers a
free choice in the selection of their
collective bargaining representatives.
Mrs. Norton Commended
May l, therefore, commend you for
including in your bill, amending the
act, the amendment to Sec. 9B which
gives workers the right in each case
to decide for themselves whether they
want craft or industrial union.
Already we hear shrill outcries to
the effect that this, provision will
"carve up'' industrial unions and it is
reported in the press that certain
members of your committee intend to
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1940-04-18

file a minority report alleging this
provision will cause industrial dis
cord"
Lest these objections be taken too
seriously, let me cite the record and
the facts.
Based on New York Act
This particular provision in your
bill is taken word for word from the
New York State Labor Relations Act.
When that act was passed by the New
York legislature in 1887, Sidney Hill
man, vice president of the CIO, OBJ
jected strenuously to the provision
which gave workers the right to de-
eide whether they wanted craft or
an industrial union. He charged it
would bring mot industrial peace but
industrial discord." He declared "it
means that no employer can sign an
agreement with union with any GER
tainty that some craft unions may not
kick over the traces" Nevertheless the
bill, including this provision, was
adopted and became the law of New
York State.
Since then almost three years have
passed. The New York State Labor
Relations Board has disposed of 4,760
cases up to April l, 1910. The rec
ord shows that in not a single one of
those cases has the CIO protested
against the operation of the so-called
"craft unit" provision. The record

Public Housing
Is SfimuIunf To
Building Trode
$l5.000.000 Worth Of New
Residential Construction
Grows Near Projects

Washington, D. Gully S15,OOO,-
600 worth of new residential and COM
mercial construction, more than half
built by private individuals, has grown
up within the immediate neighbor-
hoods of 7S public housing projects,
according tc the xssasts, of a survey
made public today by Nathan Straus,
Administrator of the United States
Housing Authority.
That the national slum-clearance
and public low-rent housing program
of the USHA is having a stimulating
effect on the private building indus
try is directly in line with similar re-
suits in England and Wales where
private construction has expanded as
the British public housing program
grew, Mr.. Straus declared.
The USHA survey, which included
35 projects constructed during the
present USHA m-clearance and
low-rent housing program and 43
projects built by the Housing Division
of the Public Works Administration
and turned over to the USHA, indi-
Gated that about $15,O000O0 was
spent during the past two years on
private and public construction in the
neighborhoods of these 7S projects.
Of this sum, $8,841 900 was expend-
ed in constructing, improving or re-
pairing $500 privately owned build
ings, of which 2,133 were used for
residential purposes and the remain
ing 467 were either commercial build
ings or churches.
Included in the residential con-
struction were 962 new individual
homes and 18 apartment houses. An
additional GIT individual dwellings
and 536 apartment houses were re-
paired or renovated.
In addition to this private home
construction and renovation, there was
much construction in the mercantile
field. More than 100 stores were built
and 119 were improved or repaired.
Mr.. Straus stressed that, while it is
too early to estimate the ultimate ef-
feet of the USHA public housing pro-
gram upon private building, these
data indicate that the public housing
movement in America is travelling in
the same direction as the successful
British public housing program, which
has been in operation since 1919. He
said:
perhaps the chief reason that
private housing in England and Wales
was able to thrive during period of
world depression was because of the
stimulating effect of the British pub
lie housing program on private enter
prise.
Private housing production in Eng
land and Wales, which rose steadily
between 1921 and 1924 and then level
led off, rose sharply between 1929 and
1888 when it reached peak nearly
five times higher than the 1929 level.
