Passing Of Former
3rd Vice President
Sad Blow TO MOP
Member Of Executive Board
For Twenty-Five Years;
NBOP As Years

George William Chadwick, a men,
ber Of the National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters' Executive Board
for the past 25 years, died yesterday
morning at 3:2O at his home, SO2
Bank street, following two-year ILL
ness. He was 62 years of age. A
caster, he was member of Local
No. d.
While death was expected, it came
as a shock to Brotherhood officials
and members throughout the trade.
Mr.. Chadwick had been member
of the N. B. of O. p. for almost as
years and was first elected to the Ex-
ecutive Board in 1916: as Second Vice
President. He held this position until
1888 when he moved the post of
Third Vice President when the con-
vention of that year recommended an
other salaried position to be known
as Second Vice President and the
recommendation was upheld by vote
of the trade.
At the election held this year, Mr..
Chadwick was not a candidate for Of
flee, having been retired from the
trade the past year. No one in the
history of the Brotherhood has ap-
preached Mr.. Chadwick's 25-year term
of office.
Mr.. Chadwick attended 80 consecu-
tive conventions Of the Brotherhood
before missing this past July when
he was in Cleveland hospital where
he underwent an operation.
For years he headed the important
Law Committee at the annual conven-
tions and acted as that body's assist
ant secretary. He had always been
proud of the Brotherhood and had
every dues book issued to him in his
44 years as a member-and the books
show he never was late in the pay
ment of dues or assessments. His so
convention badges were displayed in
a glass-topped case.
Recognizing the loyalty and true
service rendered the Brotherhood by
Brother Chadwick, the delegates to
the 1941 convention unanimously
adopted the following resolution,
sending him a copy from Atlantic
City:
"Whereas, we the delegates assem-.
bled in the 10th Annual Convention
of the National Brotherhood of Oper-
ative Potters at the Dennis Hotel, At
lantic City, N. j., are saddened by the
fact that our worthy brother, Third
Vice President George Chadwick is
absent from his first convention in 33
years because of the necessity of an
operation from which he is recuper-
ating, and
"Whereas, we appreciate the rs
years of loyal service Brother Chad
wick has rendered this organization
as member of the Executive Board
and his "a years of continued men,
bership, therefore be it
"Resolved, that the delegates extend
to Brother Chadwick in recognition
of mis- extremely commendable record
in the cause of true trade unionism
an expression of sincere gratitude
and wish for an early and complete
recovery so that this organization
may continue to profit by the wisdom
and understanding of one of it's most
experienced members"
President James M. Duffy was ad-
vised of his friends death by phone
in Washington. He stated that Mr.
Chadwick's passing was real blow
to the organization. "He lived for the
Brotherhood and was never happier
than when he was aiding the members
in their meetings or swapping stories
with them afterwards" declared Mr.
Duffy.
Mr.. Chadwick was member of the
Discharge Committee which, while re.
ceiving little publicity, has compiled
one of the most enviable records
boasted by any Brotherhood Com.
