Local Union IS To
Hold Election 9th
Central Labor Union Putting
On Intensified Drive In
All Industries

Perth Amboy, N. J.-Hot weather
and plenty of rain did not stop mem
bers of Local Union No 90 from show
ing their faces at the meeting Fri
day, June 13. No, not even the fact
that it was suppose to be an unlucky
day.
Nomination of officers was held and
President Louis Turkus and other Of
ficers now serving were again nom-
mated. Nomination and election will
be held at the June q meeting.
1t was reported that Central Labor
Union President Thomas Kelly, who is
also A. F. of l.. organizer in this To-
cality, is putting on an intensified
campaign to organize various indus
tries here. Brother Kelly is chiefly
interested in organizing labor, not for
the sake Of signing them up, but to
see that they are credit to the in
dustry which they serve
Recently one Of the terra Gotta COM
panies here took it upon themselves
to get some outside organizers to sign
VIC IoOO1 up ia CIICi SIiOp, kIlOWlIS
full we'll that the Central Labor Union
in this locality has been endeavoring
to get these men in line for some
time. 1t is about time the officials on
the top in the A. F. of L. put a stop
to allowing some of these fly-by-
night organizers put on a bargain
sale as bait to both employer and en-
ploye. This leads TO only one thing
and that is dissatisfaction and a bad
name for>labor.
Brother Hugh Church was chosen
to represent this local at the coming
convention in Atlantic City and prob
ably some Of our members will visit
the convention, as . number of them
will be having their vacation.
We are pleased to read that No. as
has invited us to attend the Eastern
Potters' picnic on Saturday, June 81.
TheXacsn expect ne Of our mem
bers there as we Know No. as always
puts on good party.
A copy Of the resolution to be up
at the convention was received and
we note locals 1873 and as have some
very good ones. Instructions were
given Brother Church to support these
resolutions. 0. c. 96.

Nearly J Million
Shown On Garment
Workers Report
Holt Million Is Spent For
Benefits And Charities
By I. L. G. w. u.

New York City QLNS).-The an
nual financial report of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, made public at Forest Park
Pa, by David Dubinsky, president
reveals that the union received near
ly $7,000,00O last year. Of this, near
ly 100000 was spent for charities
and for union benefits. Another
100000 went for recreation and edu-
cational activities.
The report, one Of the most detail
ed compiled by any labor organiza-
ton, showed that the parent union
and it's local branches throughout the
United States and Canada had taken
in $6,932,171 and spent $5,995, 1884, Civ
ing the union an operating surplus of
$936,7S7 for 1910.
Others Urged to Follow
President Dubinsky urged that all
unions follow the lead of the |. l.. G.
w. U. in issuing public statements
Of their finances. Such practice
would make officers more careful
about the way they spent union funds,
would increase public respect for Or
ganized labor and would end pressure
for government regulation of union
affairs, he said.
The l. l.. G. w. MS effort to in
sure the reelection of President
Roosevelt and candidates favorable
to the New Deal last Autumn cost
$145,603, according to Dubinsky's re-
port. The union leader emphasized
that mot one nickel" had been con-
tributed to the Democratic party in
connection with this effort. The
American Labor party and $92.048
and most of the rest went to independ-
ent and labor committees supporting
the President.
y. Communists Fought
Included in the American Labor
party expenditure was an outlay of
5000 by the union to help the anti
Communist forces retain control of
the party's New York state organiza-
tion in the primary contest Of April,
1910.
"Our union is vitality interested in
keeping Communists from capturing
the A. l.. P.," Dubinsky said. eve
consider the spending of $4,000 to
prevent the Communist stooges Nor

Recently Organized West
Coast Receives Wage In
crease In First Pact
ESTABLISHED FIRM
Manufacturers of Art And
China Wore For Past
FiftY-Two Years

Employees of the J. A. Bauer Pot
terry Company of Los Angeles have 6
signed contract with the firm calling
for substantial wage increases and i'm
proved working arrangements.
The contract was signed June anC
will expire on that date in 1912. Botf
the Brotherhood members and the
firm report satisfaction with the terms
of the agreement.
1t has long been the aim of the
Brotherhood to organize the employees
Of this company, but it was not until
last month, after repeated attempts
had failed, that the workers realized
the benefits to be derived from af-
filiation with the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters and formed Lo-
cal Union No. 1876.
Second Vice President Frank Hull
held many meetings with the work
ers and firm officials before returning
to Headquarters. Final negotiations
were handled by George Pace of Local
Union No. 113, an active Brotherhood
representative III CIc Loo AHSCiCs
district. Mr.. Pace is kilnhand en-
ployed at the Wallace China Co.
The j. A. Bauer Company is well
established firm in the art and china
ware fields, having been in operation
the past so years.
Reports reaching this office from
California state between 100 and 150
members make up the roll Of the new
west coast local which promises to be
an extremely active unit in the Broth
erhood according to all indications.
Officials have been chosen by the
local to guide the young organization
through it's first months. Thomas
Poulton has been named president
James Johnson will take over the du-
ties of recording secretary, Keathley
Gentry has been chosen financial sec
retary, Lemuel H. Beclllhymer will see
that the funds are in order as treas
urer, while Frank Minnie was elected
vice president.
The membership is certain that the
local will be successful one and a
strong force in the locality. The
Brotherhood welcomes Local Union
No. 1856 into the fold and will be glad
to give the members all the assistance
possible in Strengthening out Difficult
ties which may arise in any smooth
running organization.
In accordance with the wishes of
recent conventions, the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters con-
tinues it's organizational drive along
all fronts. The addition of Local
Union No. 1856 is the result of per-
severing policy which will soon see
all clay workers members OF the or
ganization.

Sports Fans Enjoy
Full Day At Idord
Minerva Cops Boil Game
As Hitler Takes Terrific
Ldmbdsting

Sports fans enjoyed a full day last
Saturday when they had continuous
show at the Potters Preparedness
Picnic. Starting at l o'clock with the
track events and continuing through
the ball game, Gus Q. Fan had to
rush dinner so he could hurry back to
the ball park for the fights.
Once again the hit Of the afternoon
events was the craftsmanship dis
played by the so-called weaker sex.
A huge dummy Of Hitler, complete
with uniform and medals, took ter
rife humping from the red, white
and blue rolling pins slung with vigor
and aim by more than 100 women. 1t
would take all the kings horses and
practically all of his men to ever put
Hitler back together again, but why
should they?
By the time those with the best
aim were taking their second shot at
der fuehrer, he was past repair with
the ball bat used during the prelimi-
nary heaves, so rope was needed to
hold him all in one piece.
Take it from one who was there,
never argue around a kitchen with
Lillian Caldwell, Florence Graham or
Evelyn Hooks, the winers.

A Law On Strikes?
10th Century Fund Says
Real Solution Is
Mediation

Following is a summary of a
comprehensive survey conducted
by The Twentieth Century Fund on
the so-called strike problem. This
survey, is complete in partial, de-
veloped conclusions which are Of
great interest to all of organized
labor):
Laws to forbid strikes in defense
industries are being demanded by
many persons. Totalitarian countries
absolutely forbid strikes and lockouts; !;
practically speaking, workers have lit
tie or no chance to express their griev-
ances. This amounts to forced labor
or industrial slavery.
Compulsory arbitration is usually
suggested to accompany proposals for
outlawing strikes in this country. Un-
der this arrangement strikes and
lockouts would be forbidden by law
and workers and management would
be required to submit their differences
to arbitration by public agency. Both
sides would be compelled to accept the
award of the arbitrator, no matter
what it might turn out to be.
Australia has had a compulsory ar
bitration statute since 1904. Strikes
extending into two or more states are
forbidden, and disputes must be sub
mitted to the Commonwealth Court Of
Arbitration. Most of the states have
similar laws to govern disputes with
in a single state. However, the Fund
research staff finds that Australia for
the past twenty-five years "has had
far more strikes relative to her popu-
lation than either the United States or
Great Britain. While many of these
strikes were clearly illegal, penalties
have seldom been imposed on the
strikers"
Canada has had since 1907 an Act
requiring a period of investigation by
special board before strikes may be
called in the mining and public utility
industries. During the period of 1907
to 1925, the research staff reports
"there were 425 unlawful strikes in
which the requirements of the Act
were simply ignored. Any at
tempt to enforce this section would
have alienated all union support and
would probably have brought quick
repeal of the Act"
In Great Britain more than one and
half million munitions workers took
part in illegal strikes after the gov
ernment attempted to prohibit strikes

tuberculosis Can't
Be Wiped Out Until
Sums Elimination
Decent Housing Absolutely
Vital To Health. Declares
USHA Administrator

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-The
campaign to stamp out tuberculosis
in this country by 1860, which has
been undertaken by large group Of
associations, cannot succeed unless in
creasingly greater emphasis is placed
on adequate housing for low-income
families--chief victims Of the disease
Nathan Straus, administrator Of the
United States Housing Authority, said
here.
Tuberculosis and bad housing go
hand in hand" Straus said, "and we
fail if we attempt to solve the prob
lem without giving proper attention to
the other.
"This year it is estimated that 50,-
0G0 Americans will die of tuberculo-
sis. This should weigh heavily on the
conscience of the nation since tubercu-
losis is both preventable and curable.
"The cost of tuberculosis not only
in the dollars and cents we spend in
our efforts to stamp it out, but in
terms of lost man power, is enormous.
tuberculosis is the leading disease
cause of death among people between
the ages of Is and as, the age when
we count on them to produce and do
most.
Decent Housing Vital
"Survey after survey has shown the
intimate relationship between this
disease and bad housing" continued
Straus
"Tuberculosis must be fought with
decent houses as we'll as hospitals,
with slum clearance as we'll as with
Christmas seals. In dense popula-
tions, which crowd people to-
gether amid insanitary surroundings,
tuberculosis has it's best opportunity
to spread from person to person.
Slum clearance and sanitary housing
will help to eliminate it. This quota
tion is from Tuberculosis, Its Nature
and Control recently published by the
Pennsylvania Department of Health.
1t expresses an idea that has been rec
ognized ever since the 1905, when
Robert Koch shook the scientific world
by his discovery of the tubercle bacil-
lus.
"But until the last few years the
fight against tuberculosis centered
around the use of the x-ray and the
tuberculin test in diagnosis, proper
disposal Of sputum, treatment through
rest and proper diet, sunlight, and
lung collapse, etc. While these were
practical weapons in the anti-tuber
culosis arsenal, the rehousing of slum

Gains Seen Kept
Senator Mead referred to the sue

mediation under the Railway Labor
Act and declared that it "would be a
boon to the nation in this defense cri-
sis today if similar mediation machin-
cry were available to all elements and
factions of labor in the country"
Discussing the future, Mead said:
"There will be no permanent black
out of labor's well-established gains.
There will be further rewards to COM
pensate for the sacrifices which are
now demanded. In this struggle be-
tween democracy and despotism, we
cannot afford to take halfway, half
hearted measures. We must accept
our individual and appointed RESPONSE

Exploiting Crippled
Children

IT HAS become increasingly difficult for Michigan laymen
TO decide whether public officials concerned with the
crippled and afflicted children of Michigan are more IN
terested in themselves or the children.
The constant quarreng between probate judges
county supervisors members of the crippled children
mission welfare officials physicians hospitals, and mem
bers of the state Legislature continues undated to the
obvious detrment of the suffering little ones.
Perhaps the twisted viewpoint of politically minded
individuals ailng and INDECENT child as political
asset of description To them can only point out
that of the major given for the downfall OF
the administration of Governor Dickinson the sorry
mishandling Of the crippled children program.
MOST ALARMING development of the present legsa-
INI tive session is that the members chose for their pot
cal connving the al-mportan bill affecting crippled and
sick children.
The bill is dead today in Rep Fred L. Krchers well
fare committee and this Lansing member himself revealed
the ugly truth during Yesterdays debate when he said
I'VE being asked to release this bill only TO allow
the governor to fulfill prediction promises
Krcher erred. The committee being asked to
revive the bill because would create simple and

Administration leaders have been told the

Lansing member is interested.
OPPOSITION also has from probate judges
