Crooksville Coils
Meet For Gilders
Local 66 Looking Forward
To Uniform Scale For
All Gliding

Crooksville, O.-Atttention! Calling
all gilders. The gilders Of the Crooks
vile China Company are calling
conference Of all gilders throughout
the industry. We feel that it is about
time some definite steps were being
taken to establish uniform price for
gliding. The present rate of pay
throughout the industry is an in
justice, not only to the gilders, but to
the employers who are paying a liv-
ing wage.
1t is about time the gilders awaken
to the fact that all other tradesmen
in the industry have a uniform rate
established. Practically all other lines
in the decal department have a uni
form scale of wage, but the temper
mental gilders have been left hold
ing the bag, getting only what the
firms were grateful enough to concede
them. In many cases this has proven
to be hardly a living wage.
To prove this statement, Local &C
has recently sent out letters in re-
CARDS to rates of pay and in some
cases there is range up to three
hundred per cent.
Gilders get in line for the coming
conference by asking the decorating
shop to support you as you have sup
ported them in the past. 1t is time there
is little more cooperation among the
gilders throughout the industry, SO
be sure and come to the conference
to be held in the near future. We will
set up a uniform price for gliding
which is not half as difficult as the
firms would have you believe. Resolu-
tions will be made to be submitted to
the coming wage conference.

Death Claims Ashbrook

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-In the
death Monday, January l, of Con-
gresham William A. Ashbrook of the
Seventeenth District the State and
Nation lost one of its oldest repre-
sentatives in Congress. In all of his
ten successful campaigns for Congress
in this district Mr.. Ashbrook always
had the support of Organized Labor.
He died from a paralytic stroke at
his home in Johnstown, Licking
County.
Governor Bricker has under consid-
Grafton a suggestion that he call
special primary and election in the
near future to fill the vacancy in Con-
gress created by Mr.. Ashbrook's
death and also to fill the vacancy in
the 22nd (Cleveland) District created
by the recent death of Congressman
Chester C. Bolton.
In the past it has been the policy
to hold these special congressional
elections in conjunction with the reg
ular primaries and elections, thus
saving expense to the taxpayers. It
is estimated that it will cost approxi-
mately 100000 to hold special elec-
t;ons in the two districts.

ROBERT FECHNER

He Stunned the limelight. He
never sought personal credit or pub
licity. He went early to his office
and often out into the field.
The American public knew little
about Robert Fechner, the man. But
that public knows much about, and
heartily approves, the Civilian Con-
servation Corps which he directed for
nearly seven years without once sub
jecting the program or it's admins
tration to serious criticism. One can
not help but think that more of the
New Deal would have succeeded had
more Of it's agencies been entrusted
to selfess administrators.
Let us hope, for the future of the
CCC, that President Roosevelt can
find successor of similar mold
