A. F. of l.. affiliate, notified Emanuel
Baumgarten, Inc, Washington, d. c.,
that the union had abrogated the
agreement which was signed between
the two parties in April, 1889, and
that the firm was no longer entitled to
the use of the Metal Engravers union

In making public the action taken
by the union Mr.. Woelfel said: "The
Emanuel Baumgarten, Inc, few
months ago received large Govern
ment contract for rubber stamps, hired
a number Of new men to take care of
the increase in business, failed to no
tify us of this action as all new help
was non-union, worked their employees
from GO to so hours week without
overtime compensation, and, of course,
did not pay them the union scale set
forth in the agreement. Some Of the
men are paid as low as 50 per cent

Four-Stdr Essay
Contest Popular
Hundreds of Essays Pour
Into Union Label
Department

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-An-
nouncing that the 4-Star Essay Con-
test of the Union Label Trades De-
partment, American Federation Of
Labor, is in full swing, |. M. Ornburn,
secretary-treasurer of the department
emphasized the necessity Of becoming
familiar with the rules of the contest
before entering it.
Hundreds of essays are still pour
ing into his office in the American
Federation of Labor in Washington,
Ornburn reported.
When asked how to enter the con-
test, Ornburn said: at is necessary
for every contestant to read care
fully the twelve rules for the 4Star
Essay Contest. No one should start
to write an essay before, obtaining
these regulations, which will be mail
ed upon request.
"Upon casual glance at many es-
says we have found that many con-
testants are disqualified because they
do not abide by the rules. 1t would
not be fair to award a prize to one
who did not follow the rules while
another sent in an equally good essay
and complied with all of them"
The subjects of the first two essays
are: "Why | Buy Union Label Goods"
and "Why | Use Union Services"
These contests are free for everyone.
Any person, man or woman, boy or
girl of any age, is eligible to enter
essays in these contests regardless of
whether he or she is member of
labor union or women's auxiliary.
Essay No. is "Why | Am Labor
Unionist." The writer's of this essay
are confined to members Of labor
unions. Essay No. a is entitled
"Why Joined Women's Auxiliary"
This subject is confined to members
of women's auxiliaries. 1t is absolute
ly necessary, however, that everyone
who desires to write an essay should
first read the rules and regulations
for the contest.

Administrator IS
Supported By the
Advisory Council
legislative Amendment Of
Ohio Unemployment Act
Is Recommended
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Ny OAtuV A0UOA 4>S"o tDNi WV
Columbus, O.-The State Advisory
Council of the Ohio Bureau Of Unem-
ployment Compensation in it's annual
report issued last week recommends
that the Ohio law should be amended
at the next regular session of the
Ohio General Assembly to provide:
l. A single specific method for COM
putting benefits for total unemploy-
ment, and
2. A single specific method for COM
putting benefits for partial unemploy-
ment; in each case in such terms that
no rules Of Interpretation need be nec-
essary.
Thus the Advisory Council joins in
supporting the recommendation of
Administrator H. c. Atkinson to Gov
ernor Bricker that "the Number one
problem" of the Ohio Bureau can only
be solved by legislative change.
In the meantime Atkinson proposed
that the Attorney General take the
question into the Court of Appeals for
review Of Judge Leach's decision on
the question, more than a year ago.
The Court of Appeals will not con-
vene here until September, so this
means that it probably cannot be
heard in the court until a new Legis-
lature is elected and, being in court,
the Administration would be relieved
of the troublesome question during the
coming campaign.
The Board of Review refused to fol-
low the so-called compromise formula
proposed to it by Administrator Atkin-
son and consequently he withdrew his
formula.
While the Advisory Council in it's
report states that "the Council is
unanimously agreed" upon the advis-
ability Of legislative formula, it does
not propose any specific formula, but
states that it will do SO in a separate
report which will appear prior to the
next regular session of the Legisla-
ture.
The Advisory Council further states
in it's report that it has been study
ing experience rating in Ohio, as we'll
as the provisions of other States, and
should experience indicate the desir-
ability of revision or amendment, the
Council hopes to be able to indicate
the direction in which changes may be
effected.
The members of the Advisory Coun-
ell are William C. Stafford, Cincinnati,
Chairman; John E. Breidenbach, Day.
ton; Ralph H. Miner, Akron; Edison
L. Bowers, Columbus; Albert P. Dali
ton, Cleveland; Albert F. Dawson,
Cincinnati; Almond E. Cohen, Cleve-
land.
Mr.. Dalton and Mr.. Breidenbach
were appointed on the Council by
Governor Bricker as representatives
of Labor.

Excellent Entertainment and
Limburger Feature
April PortY

Sebring, O.-The party held by Lo-
cal Union No. SO on April 3 was a
grand success. Our members turned
out in mass and all entered into the
spirit Of the occasion as only potters
can.
The entertainment was of exception
al quality, with, bingo making a great
hit. BY 11:3O the refreshments were
all cleaned up and square dancing was
in full swing. According to Brother
Dutch Gassman there was only one
incident that threatened the evening
some of the sandwiches met with a
slight accident, but since they were
made Of limburger no harm was done.
The committee, consisting of Broth
ers Gassman, Buehler, Booth, McMum,
Harp and Banner deserve a world Of
credit for their work. We hear some
talk of making them permanent
committee for all such occasions. be-
lieve the vote would be unanimous in
favor of such action.
The resolution committee reports
plenty Of resolutions on hand. Some Of
these resolutions have been read be-
fore the local and the remainder will
be read at the next meeting. Men,
bers are requested to be present and
express their opinion as to the merit
of the ones presented.
According to reports on the shop,
Brother Mike Bruner is now father.
Accept our best wishes for the health
of the family Mike.-O. C. SO.
