close watching. Brother Frank Hull
is commended for his handling of af-
fairs at Ell Cerrito, and we recommend
that the Board keep in close touch with
our far Western State. We also note
that there is some improvement, but
not enough to assure much progress:
therefore, we must insist that the EX-
ecutive Board use watchfulness and
keep in close contact with this situa-
ton.
UnOrganized Shops
We recommend that the Board con-
tinue their efforts to bring the unor-
ganized shops into the Brotherhood.
Organization
We recommend that organization
must continue in all branches of the
Trade, and that the Executive Board
use speed-up system to get better
results in the future, the speedup sys-
tenn to be left entirely in the hands
of the Executive Board.
Locals Finances
We reserve comment on local finance
at this point, and refer to the Com
mittee's report to investigate Local
Union Finances.
Foreign Competition
We recognize that during 1899
Japan exported to the United States
$3.50 more china ware than in previous
years. The japanese Boycott Buy
American Movement in the latter part
of 1937-193S slowed down sales Of
Japanese products, and while the
movement went we'll it was not last
ing, and interest died out nationally.
Our only recourse now remains
through contact with Legislators in the
various States and the Congress and
Senate of the United States. We rec
ommend that the Board continue eff
forts to reduce foreign competition by
keeping close contact with govern
ment affairs. We also recommend
continuance of the Japanese Boycott
Buy American Movement.
Fraternal Delegateship TO Canadian
Trades Congress
To Brother Wheatley went the
pleasure and honors of representing
our Trade. We are sure that we were
ably represented, and that the last
convention chose wisely and well, and
to him we commend highly his efforts
in our behalf
