CoheY President
Of L. U. No. lag
Sees a Steady Improvement
In Understanding of Real
Collective Bargaining

Paden City, w. Va.-Local Union
No. 146 elected the following officers,
at the last meeting of the year, to
conduct the official business during
1910; James Coffey, president; Chester
Fox, vice president; Pearl Smith,
financial secretary; Beatrice Vogel,
recording secretary; Harold Yost,
defense collector; Vaughn Bowen,
treasurer; William Hanford, statisti-
clan; and Shirley Lewis, 18 month
trustee.
In following past custom The in
spector and guard will be appointed.
While this is not according to Hoyle,
it has been very satisfactory. Brother
Hanford Fox and Sister Loretta Krebs
were appointed to audit the books COW
ering the previous six months.
1t is evident we are entering the
new year with an improved financial
rating. We had to suspend a few
members at the last meeting, but it
couldn't be helped, you, and you alone,
can take care Of your standing in the
organization. There are few more
who will be suspended at the next
meeting unless they take care of their
delinquencies.
While collective bargaining, like all
other agencies for the betterment of
humanity, is far from perfect, never
| theless, there is satisfaction in observ-
ing there is a steady improvement in
understanding of genuine collective
bargaining. 1t should be definitely
understood that each party to a union
contract has certain rights and the
rights Of both must be respected. To
defer from, or underestimate the value
of this principal to any great extent
could only result in disaster. At least
we have ample evidence where trade
unions have weakened or been de-
stroyed, owners and employers have
met with similar fate. Had it not
been for our predecessors organizing
trade unions and those unions becom-
ing a part of our city, county, state
and federal governments, industry
could not have grown to the size it is
today. The wage standards set di-
rectly and indirectly by the trade
unions has been the only possible sal
walton for markets of products of in
dustry.
Mass production methods and in
creased efficiency has increased pro-
duction, consequently we have made
quate purchasing power. Labor with
out question has earned its right to
trade unions, earned it's right to own
automobiles, radios and all that labor
produces.
In view of-tfeae facts, we of the
pottery industry should find it appro-
pirate to resolve, to rededicate our
selves in making collective bargaining
greater in prestige, great in number
stronger in governmental affairs
stronger in those ideals which have
made the U. S. P. A. and the n. B.
of O. P. the outstanding units of en-
ploye-employer relationship.
This is my humble thought and sin
cere wish for those connected with
this unique and great industry during
the year 1000. c. 146.

FEEDING YOUNG HUSBANDS

Washington, D. C.-More marriages
are ruined at the dinner table than
at the bridge table!
That was the warning given "Mrs.
Average Bride" by the Bureau Of
Home Economics, U. S. Department
of Agriculture
The trick, the Bureau said in advis-
ing brides on the care and feeding of
young husbands, is to treat his
stomach well without injuring his
pocketbook too seriously. This is
easier said than done. say many
women who have tried it, especially
in the last ten years of depression.

IS Electrical Firms
Indicted by U. 5. Jury
On Trust Charges
Plot to Hamper Work Of
Other Contractors Luid ia
Alleged Combination
BY the Associated Press.

3! tne ASsoclateC Press.
DETROIT, March 21.-A special
Federal grand jury today indicted
13 organizations and 18 individuals
for alleged antitrust law viola
tions in the electrical contracting
business and charged that agents
for an electrical workers union
were paid to hamper work attempted
by contractors who refused to join
the combination.
The indictment, result of a six
month investigation of the con-
struction industry in the Detroit
area, charges all defendants with
conspiring to form combination
in restraint of trade in violation of
the Sherman Act.
Local So of the A. F. L. Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and two of its business
agents, Lloyd j. Coons and Frank
Caccia, are accused of ordering
union electricians to engage in
showdown" designed to increase
costs when working for any con-
tractor not party to the alleged
conspiracy. The intent, the jury
charged, was to make it improbable
for such a contractor to operate
here.
Arbitrary Bids Charged.
The Detroit Electrical Contractors
Association and 10 individual De-
troit firms are charged with estab-
fishing arbitrary and artificial bids
for electrical contracts and allocat-
ing the contracts among themselves
Also named a defendant Is Hatzel
& Buehler, Inc, of New York, which
has Offices in Detroit.
The grand jury charges that
Coons, the union agent. and Charles
D. Pierce, president of the Pierce
Co., Inc, who also was indicted,
together with a majority of stock
of the Motor City Electric Co. of
Detroit, electrical equipment manu-
facturer.
The indictment alleges that
Pierce, acting for the John Miller
Electric Co. and other contractors
whose names are not known to the
grand jury, secretly paid large sums
to the union representatives. The
Miller company was not indicted,
but the Pierce company was.
Boycott Threat Alleged.
Pierce also is charged with
threatening to boycott mapufactur-
ers of electrical equipment so as to
induce them to discontinue selling
to persons not members of the al
legged conspiracy.
Murry L. Ansel, superintendent
of the Brooker Engineering Co., is
alleged to have acted as agent and
to have been the payoff man for
most Of the defendants from Feb
ruary / to October l, 1899.
Detroit firms indicted are the
Brooker and Pierce companies; Fife
Pearce Electric Co., w. D. Gale. Inc;
