Conference Report
Heard By Local 96
Special Meeting Called By
Perth ArnboY Members
To Learn Details

Perth Amboy, N. J.-President
Louis Turkus presided at the meeting
of Local Union No. SO Friday eve
ming. This meeting was well attend
ed even though the weather was a
combination of rain, sleet and snow.
The question which attracted the
boys to the meeting was the recent
understanding that the management
of the Fords Porcelain Works had
given the conference committee on
Thursday, January %. This confer
ence was attended by Vice President
Wheatley and for this reason the
committee requested a termination of
the discussions which were becoming
heated, by suggesting that a special
meeting be held. This was agreed to
and Wheatley and Solon were inform
ed.
Two new members were voted on
and will be initiated at our next meet
ing. They are Arthur Thomas and
Frank Peksa who have been away
from the plant for sometime. With
the influx of new workers in the plant
the president thought that the sug-
gestion made by Brother Andy Mad
sen, regarding the appointing of an

Sebring and Salem
Tinters OutldWed
Brotherhood Officials Call
Strike Illegal; Order
Men To Work

Tinters in Sebring and Salem, 60 in
all, held an illegal strike last Tuesday
in an effort to bring wages up from
CTS cents per hour to 1856 cents per
hour. Production in the four plants
affected has been slowed.
The joint committee provided by the
1910 wage conference held last Sep
tember has been endeavoring to work
out a uniform wage scale for all dec
Grating processes including tinting.
In view of the efforts being made by
this committee it is especially hard for
Brotherhood officials to understand
such reckless action as has been in
dulged in by the very people who have
been urging the establishment of a
uniform agreement.
This action will undoubtedly retard
the progress of the committee since
the manufacturers have refused to

New York, n. Y.-Governing bodies

cations have approved a proposal by

Union to raise $1,5OO,O00 for a pro-
motional campaign throughout the

ager of the joint board.
Acceptance by the governing bodies
of employer groups insures that the

suit, and creates situation unparal-
leled in American industry. For the
first time a union has forced employ
ers to intensity their advertising and
promotion. Except for NBOB-ED.)

A picket line has been formed at

Jan. 20 when misunderstanding re-
garding the wage agreement with the

Heading the list of differences be-

the failure on the part of the COM

industrial Peace
Traced To Unions
Compulsory Arbitration Is
Unworkuble In q
Democracy

New York City QLNS).-Unionism
makes for industrial peace.
Compulsory arbitration has been
found to be unavoidable" in a democ-
racy.
Voluntary mediation works, with
the proportion of success in mediated
cases usually running above 80 per
cent"
These are some findings in an
emergency survey of labor policy un-
der the defense program now being
made by the Twentieth Century Fund.
Advance portions Of the report,
made public by Evans Clark, execu-
tive director of the fund, say that
since workers in defense industries
are "only 80 to 40 per cent unionized,
with aggressive organizing cam
paigns under way Or projected in most
fields . many disputes are likely
to get out of hand and result in
strikes" Only voluntary action, how
ever, is urged to settle disputes.
The research staff, which is headed
by DR.. Lloyd G. Reynolds Of the Johns
Hopkins University, reports that in
dustrial peace is most often found in
unionized industries that have a long
experience in collective bargaining.
The staff believes that questions of
union recognition are more likely to
cause strikes in defense industries
than. questions Of wages and hours.
"A union will usually compromise on
questions of wages or working condi-
tions. But it cannot compromise on
the issue Of union recognition without
sacrificing it's existence"
Mediation Services Successful
In discussing voluntary mediation
as means of avoiding strikes, the re-
port emphasizes that "mediation is
service which has to be sold to both
unions and employers and describes
some of the state and Federal agen-
cies available for this work. The re-
searchers find "The United States
Cancellation Service was able to ad-
just all but JAG of the 1,678 disputes
in which it intervened during 1888
1889. The New York State Mediation
Board adjusted all but 80 Of 80 cases
during 1885,"
The report points out that even
though the Cancellation Service Of the
Department of Labor has been ex-
panded in recent years and now has a
staff of some seventy conciliators
that "unless the conciliation staff is
increased, the service may now be

Meeting Shippers
Hit By Local No. 4
Casters Unable To Improve
Conditions If Changes
Go Unreported

Local Union No. met last Mon
day evening with Brother Albert Ever
hardt in the chair for the duration
of the six month period. The other
officers are as follows: William Ash
baugh, vice president; Fred Glynn, re-
cordng secretary; Clyde Stull, finan-
cial secretary; Ed Edger, inspector;
Brother Nelson, guard; Ray Ham,
mond, treasurer; Roy Masker, trustee
18 months; William Ashbaugh, IL
months; George Wilson, six months.
The attendance was not as good as
it has been on previous occasions
owing to the heavy downfall of snow.
Although the discussions were inter-
esting, as usual, and many points Of
interest were brought to light, the
subject that created condemnation Of
some of our members was that they
fail to attend meetings as often as
they should. They therefore neglect
to convey to the local some new or
different conditions under which they
are asked to work and which in many
cases, are more difficult than previous
conditions under which original prices
were established for that particular
type of casting. We must report
these changes to our local when they
occur, so that proper steps can be
taken to have them corrected.
A motion was passed that the cast
ers from T. S. & 7. and Laughlin No.
be notified to make special effort
to be present at the next meeting.
This is your notification, SO pass the
word along to your benchmates.
Another group of dissatisfied cast
ers are those who are compelled to
work in the bucket shops. This is

Flu Slows Work At
Cambridge Pottery
Local l22Jiggermen Request
Relief From Percentage
System On Specials

Cambridge, Ohio.-The local MEM
bership of No. 1872 has its trials and
tribulations. The epidemic of flu has
affected quite number of Universal
employees and retarded production. AS
result, the decorating department
has slowed down considerably.
The decal girls are up in arms about
dispute over a pattern that had
previously paid nine cents, but was
reduced to six cents. Wage scales
never seem to be clear enough to elm
mate arguments. The application of
the percentage system of earnings on
jiggers making inside, outside or
special articles not covered as dinner
ware is cause for some concern. Many
jiggermen claim the percentage sys-
TEN of determining earnings for the
crew to be a weighty burden, from
which some relief should be provided.
Especially when crew members are re-
placed by substitutes during pay
periods.
One remedy suggested is that the
basic price and all percentages be
Jumped into one price and said price
be divided according to the percentage
ratio giving a price per dozen for jig
gering, also batting out, mouldrun-
ming and finishing and that each crew
member turn in work card
Shift work where workers are re-
quired to use equipment used by other
workmen still continues unsatisfac-
tory as no one workman can control
the conditions under which he works.
An additional jigger is being erected
in the old sagger shop. An appren-
tice caster has been added and in
ability to secure mouldmakers may

Defense Program Is
Endorsed By Duffy
At Trenton Banquet
Virtue Of Patience Stressed
BY President At
Anniversary

Trenton, N. 1.-THE virtue of patti
ence was stressed by President James
M. Duffy last Saturday night in a
speech delivered at the banquet held
at Weinman's in celebration of the
41st anniversary of Local Union No.
As. To illustrate his words, the chief
executive of the National Brotherhood
Of Operative Potters pointed to the
large number of our organization who
spent a happy Christmas season when
it could easily have been one of sad
ness if hasty action had been taken.
The efforts made at the New
Orleans convention of the A. F. of L..
to have the Building Trades use only
union made goods were reviewed by
President Duffy as well as plans be-
ing made now to further our products.
Speaking for the Executive Board,
Mr.. Duffy gave high praise to the
foundation of our movement by the
charter members and iauded the work
of the members now taking leading
part.
Emphatically endorsing the defense
program Of the country, President
Duffy stated that he is very happy
to have been chosen to serve on a
committee to work in conjunction with
the British labor movement.
In addition to Pres ident Duffy, we
were fortunate in having Vice Presi-
dents E. L. Wheatley, George New
bon and Charles thinner with us. 1t
was hoped the entire board would be
present, but President Duffy explained
that it was impossible for some of
them to make the trip.
Eighteen charter members were
among the ITO who sat down to an
excellent dinner. They were intro
duced by Elijah Watson as were the
officers of the local and the Execu-
tive Board members. Perth Amboy,
Frenchtown and the three other Tren-
ton locals were well represented to
aid us in our celebration.
Excellent entertainment was pro-
vided by Billie Snaith & Co. with
Mirth, Magic and Mystery. Brothers
Andy Jameson and Ted Engler as
sisted ably, making the presentation
100 per cent union. Albert Deardon
and Tom Dennis sang many of the old
and new favorites for us.
Among those we noticed renewing
old acQuaintences were Aaron Potts,
Jack Remele and Jim Bailie. Everyone
who helped make the evening a grand
success is thanked by the committee
which deserves plenty Of credit. The
members serving were: Brothers Den
mis-, Watson, Birns, Davis, Harper,
Kramer Simpson and Templeton.
In spite Of very stormy evening
last Friday we had an excellent turn
out at the regular meeting presided
over by Vice President Sleepy. There
was not dull moment as much busi-
ness was transacted. At times some
of US become a little stirred up, but
in the end it does US more good than
harm. We were delighted with the
good news from Perth Amboy which
came to US through Jim Solon. 1t is
hoped that much more along the same
lines will be heard in the near future.

HIT REFUSAL TO
HIRE YOUNG MEN
OF DRAFT AGES
Un-Americun Policy Is As
suiled BY American Youth
Commission

Washington, D. c. 0LNS).-Vig-
orous denunciation of employers re-
fusal to hire young men of draft age
because of the possibility they might
be called for military service features
a report just made public by the
American Youth Commission.
The morale of "those who may later
be called upon to defend their coun-
try" is seriously damaged by such
"short- t-sighted, unpatriotic and un-
American policies" the commission
declared, urging that such practices
be discontinued at once.
at is the strong belief of the Amer
ican Youth Commission that every
employer should so conduct his en-
ployment activities that he will avoid
any form of discrimination against
those who are subject to call for mil
itary training the report says.
Other immediate steps urged to de-
crease youth unemployment include:
reorganization and expansion of the
public works programs, such as the
Civilian Conservation Corps and the
National Youth Administration; en-
largement of the new occupational
outlook service in the Department of
Labor to meet the great need for ade-
quate forecasts of the many complex
shifts in occupations; closer liaison
between youth work-training centers
and the public employment offices;
and vocational training program for
men who leave military training
camps, if the need proves substantial.
