Apprentices Go On
In Cambridge Shop
Mouldmokers. Four Casters
From Local Union l22
Started Recently

Cambridge, Ohio.-Local Union No
1872 held regular meeting February
3 which was well attended. The at
tendance prize of three months dues
was won by Sister Treasler. Brother
Sandy Robertson should have received
prize for telling his comic bedtime
story. 1t had the members in stitches
The meeting was very interesting
because of the selection by the firm of
four apprentices for the casting de-
partment. A dispute developed as to
who had the best claims for the jobs.
These apprentices are to work On q
night shift and as far as this o. G.
knows it will be the first night shift
casting crew. An apprentice mould
maker was also started.
The stimulated business activity
resulting from defense spending, has,
and will continue to create jobs for
some time, but editorials in the daily
press stress the necessity for public
planning to cushion the let down when
the boom is Debated. Crystal gazers
see renewal on much larger scale
Of the chaotic conditions existing up
to the beginning of the rearmament

Local Union No. 1872 has three men,
bers nominated for Executive Board
positions. Brother Dales Allison, who
recently attended the A. F. of L. con-
vention; Brother John w. Hamilton,
originally from East Liverpool, who
has worked in Cambridge for a num-
ber Of years during which time he has
taken an active part in N. B. of o.
P. activity, serving on numerous COM
mittees and Offices of the local, also
has been very active in the Gurnsey
County Central Labor Union, serving
his third term as chairman of the
organization; the third is Brother Dan
Killinger who came here from Hope

these brothers will contest for election
or not.

UNIFORM PRICE LIST FOR LINING IS
ESTABLISHED BY JOINT COMMITTED &
DUFFY SPEAKS
AT Gel EBRATlON
Cdnonsburg Has Banquet
In Honor Of Fortieth
Anniversary

Canonsburg, Pa.-President James
M. Duffy of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters helped make the
fortieth anniversary banquet Of Lo-
cal Union No. 81 last Friday evening
an unqualified success with a we'll
timed and stirring speech dealing
with the important part the pioneers
of the movement played in the real
lzation of strong organization and
the equally important part the pres
ent membership must play to main
tain and advance the movement.
Willard George, plant head, shared
the spotlight with a mixture of witty
and serious remarks concerning the
fortyyear history of the Canonsburg
pottery.
A seven-course dinner met with
the approval of the five hundred
guests as did the floor show and dane
ing which followed. Louis Weigand,
James Green and Bert Hatella, the
committee in charge, are to be COM
plimented upon the manner in which
they had everything going in clock
work shape. In addition to President
Duffy, other out of town visitors were
James Slaven and P. X. Calhoon of
East Liverpool, and Ray Dickey of
Wellsville.
Grace Vevian, military tap dancer,
and Elizabeth Ward, acrobatic dancer,
were the hits of the show. Billy Tay-
lor and his nine-piece orchestra won
the crowd with sweet and hot music
for everything from square dancing
to the latest jitterbugging.
1t was certainly Canonsburg's big
night and the membership went to
town. From six o'clock in the eve
ming until the wee small hours Of the
morning, the crowd was going strong
with their funny hats bobbing and
weaving all over the place. We must
say President Duffy looked quite the
swell in his topper and Bill George
was having the time of his life.
Among the personnel at the plant
in 1901 were: John Dixon, sagger-
maker; George Turner, P. Canon, T.
Stevens, kilnplacers; H. Turner, Sr.,
H. Turner, Jr. (both living), dippers;
Ed. Jackson Qiving), E. Friesel,
stickersup; E. Bero, Charles Weller,
L. MARBLE, pressers; John Kilgore,
bakermaker; Joe O'Brien, handler; w.
Lane, turner; H. Adds, cup jigger; S.
Hoover, Joe Woods, John Beppler, C.
Worstel Occupation unknown). Mary
McNary, grand old lady Of the decor
ating department, is still working.
Some of our older members who
are not charter members include:
Walter Gilman, William Dampf, Henry
Lawther and Rose Taylor. Foremen
present from the No. 2 plant were
Angus Campbell and Clyde Patton,
Sr., Jack George, son Of Willard, de-
serves special mention because of his
beautiful voice. Crosby has nothing
on him. Henry McCready called the
dances, doing an excellent job.

Tracy Report Condemns Five Bills
As Injurious To Organized Labor

fully, and to carry on any other law
full union activity when such acts i'm
peded production for defense.
"Under the act, strike, slow down,
temporary stoppage, loafng, quitting
work in midshift and picketing would
be treated equally with violent sabo-
tage, bombing and dynamiting, with
out regard for existing legal rights or
criminal liability. If any or each of
these activities impairs or interferes
with real or personal property, thus
retarding national defense, it can be
met by the extreme penalties of the act.
"A union member, who joins his
brothers in obeying strike order,
peaceably walks out Of a plant pro-
ducing airplanes under contract with
the United States Army, under the
provisions Of Section 2, can be ar
rested, convicted, fined $4,000 and
imprisoned for ten years. This is so
unless the right to strike is specifi-
cally exempted from and protected by
the terms of the act.
"The union leader who calls the
strike in the above case is likewise
criminally liable either as a conspira-
tor or as principal, unless the terms
Of the act do not specifically exclude
striking.
'These examples are equally ap-
plicable in every varying degree and
graduation of union activity in Sc
rious or merely trifing industrial dis
putes, unless the act specifically ex-
cludes union activities from it's scope"

InfunfiIe Drive
Looks To Sebrinq
For Real Leader
Led Nation Last Year: Has
Better Record For Al.
Says L. U. AZ

Sebring, Ohio-Hi folks, how's
your flu? Several things have hap
pened in this town that we think you
would be interested in. First, we of
Sebring are going to give you mark
that we don't think any other town
can equal. Last year Sebring con-
tributed more money in percentage to
the Infantle Paralysis fund than any
other town, village, city or hamlet
United States! In fact, no one was
even close. This year we did even
better We don't have the final figures,
but we know that we bettered last
years amount.
Let me show you how Sebring gives
to this Infantile Paralysis fund. We
have a new artware local at the
Grindley Artware Inc, No. 178. This
local of 40 members sold 351a dollar
tickets to it's members. Null that one
over boys and gals-shame on you.
Now then to Local 44. Our presi-
dent, Clarence Bostwick, has been
nominated for third vice president.
This o. C. wishes to inform the trade
that they will have to go far and wide
to get better man for that office.
We in Sebring know that. We have
his record and it's perfect-a go-getter
if there ever was one.
One of 44's younger members final
ly got break last week. Ford Howell
started his apprenticeship making
moulds at the Limoges.
] This o. G. recently learned that a
"trouble shooter" committee is going
to be appointed at the next meeting of
Sebring's Trades and Labor Council.
This committee will be empowered to
go into any dispute that may arise
in an effort to settle it.
The batterout question still causes
trouble One day last week there
were seven batting out jobs open in
town, none were filled. That threw 21
people, exclusive Of battersout, out of
work. We feel that some of these
jobs could have been filled by the
mouldrunners. Something is going
to have to be done about it. If you
are batterout and want job, come
on in, we are glad to see you.

The Committee Continues
in Session To Consider
Other Branches
MEETING TODAY
subcommittee On Decdl
And Stamping Ready
To Report

A uniform price list for lining was
established last Friday afternoon
after the joint decorating uniformity
committee had been in session two
days at Brotherhood hall in an effort
to straighten out wage differences in
all the decorating departments of the
various pottery districts throughout
the trade.
Subcommittee on stamping and
decal were appointed by co-chairmen
President James NJ Duffy of the Natl
onal Brotherhood Of Operative Potters
and Joseph M. Wells, Labor Commit
tee head of the United States Potters
Association, while the conference con-
tinued through Saturday and Monday
with the problems concerning tinting
being considered.
At time for adjournment Monday
evening, it was decided to convene
again Thursday morning when reports
would be available from the sub
committees. The entire committee,
with the exception of liners, was
called to order this morning at 9
o'clock.
The stampers' subcommittee COM
pleted it's work Monday and is pre-
pared to give a report this morning
as is the subcommittee on decal which
finished it's business last evening.
Members of both sides appeared
confident just settlements would be
reached at this time. A vast amount
of data has been compiled by the
members and a number Of meetings
held the past four months which
should lead to a satisfactory settle
ment of all problems at this time.
The uniformity committee is an out
come of the 1910 wage conference
which was held in Atlantic City last
September. The need for uniform
wage scale in decorating was recog-
nized at that time and steps taken
to accomplish it. The industry will
benefit tremendously when the scale
is reality.

Businessmen Hit
An+i-Sfrike Bills
Being Considered
US. Chamber Of Commerce
Against Proposals To
Coerce Workers

Washington, D. C.-Taking the def
mite position that Federal anti-strike
legislation would not only prove "in-
effective" but likewise "deny funda-
mental rights to our citizens" the
committee on manufacture Of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
submitted in a formal report ex-
pressed opposition to such legislation.
The chambers committee stated the
following conclusions:
Public policy is opposed to inter-
ference with defense.
"The interrelation of businesses
makes it next to impossible to draw
a line between defense and monde
fense industries.
"The national chamber believes
that anti-strike laws will prove inef-
fective and that they will deny funda-
mental rights to our citizens. The
chamber further believes that public
interest will be best served by volun-
tary cooperation.
"To this end the chamber enlists
the support of its member organiza-
tions in urging all employers to de-
velop plans with their employees de-
signed to promote the amicable and
prompt adjustment of labor disputes
which may arise! and, should these
internal plans fail, recommends that
existing conciliatory services now
available to enlisted and used to IA
cilitate prompt settlement of such dis
putes."
The chambers report indicated that
there is no need of additional Federal
legislation in the field of industrial
relations.
"In this connection" continued the
report, 1--WE refer to legislation of the
anti-strike' variety. Despite the oc-
currence of isolated instances of la
Dor disagreements which appear to

Too Few Potters Seriously
Consider Results Of
Machine Age

Sebring, O.-The stand the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor has taken in
regards to labor saving devices is, in
my opinion, very commendable. 1t
seems that all too few Of Us give this
question the serious consideration
and thought that we should Especial
ly is this true Of the pottery workers
where this practice is in it's infancy.
1t seems 10 be the attitude of the
majority Of US that as long as it
does not affect US individually, we
shouldn't worry about it. This, |
imagine, was the same attitude taken
by the steel workers in the Pitts
burgh district toward the new con-
tinuous strip mill erected there. How
ever, when this plant was put into
operation, according to the READERS
Digest" sixty-four per cent of the
population of a certain town was
forced onto relief rolls, with one hun
dred and twenty-six men doing the
work previously done by four thous-
and, five hundred and twelve men, and
thirty eight thousand men displaced
by labor saving devices in this dis
trict. They no doubt had a different
slant on the situation.
In this day and age nothing is i'm
possible and what happened in steel
yesterday, can happen in pottery to-
day. Simply because it has not affect
ed US individually, for as have stated
these are days of wonder and yester-
days theories are tomorrow's prac-
tices is no reason to feel complacent.
If You have not been affected, don't
kid yourself into thinking you never
will be, for it is bound to catch up
to you sometime. We do rot like
to make such dire predictions, but
there is nothing gained by fooling our
selves. We may as we'll face the facts
and start doing something about it.
Since the resolution providing a
remedy for this evil was introduced by
our organization, it behooves US to
get behind them and start the ball
rolling-O. G. So

At Hotel Vanderbilt.
Park At Gath

Members of the Executive Board
and elected conferees Of the National
Brotherhood Of Operative Potters will
head for New York City this weekend
to convene at the Plymouth hotel Mon
day morning at 9 o'clock for the first
pre-conference session before meeting
the Labor Committee Of the United
ing day at the Hotel Vanderbilt.
The two-year wage agreement sign
ed September will be reopened at the
request of Brotherhood officials after
receiving numerous petitions from
various local union affiliates. The
formal request was presented by
President James NJ. Duffy on Janu-
ary 7 while the Board was in session
here.
Officers of the L. S. P. A. immedi-
ately called a meeting Of the men,
bership for the following week. The
request to reopen the pact was grant
ed and representatives were ordered
to meet with Brotherhood officials to
name the place and date for the meet
ing.
President Duffy ind Joseph NJ.
Wells, chairman of the U. S. P. AS
Labor Board, will be co-chairmen of
the conference. Mr.. Duffy will head
practically the same group that at
tended the 1910 conference in Allan
tic City, conferees being elected for
a two-year term. ses4
Improved Dasine conditions
throughout the country form a basis
for majority Of the petitions received
by Brotherhood executives. A special
session in 1888 resulted in the last
general wage raise in the industry.
The Plymouth hotel is located on
East Forty-Ninth street between
Broadway and Radio City. All Broth
erhood meetings will be held there
and practically all members Of the n.
B. Of O. P conference committee will
be quartered at the hotel. For those
driving, it would be we'll to remember
that Forty Ninth is a one-way street
running away from Park and Fifth
avenues toward Broadway. The hotel
cannot be reached from Broadway or
Seventh avenue. The Vanderbilt is

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Per
kins committee on defense bills
sharply criticized five bills, designed
to prevent sabotage Of defense activi-
ties, which were drawn up by Fed
eral-State Conference on Law En-
forcement Problems of National De-
fense convened by Attorney General
Jackson.
The committee which condemned the
bills as inimical to the welfare of
organized labor was named by Secre-
tary Perkins in compliance with res
olution adopted at the Seventh Natl
onal Conference on Labor Legislation
which she called last month.
Dan w. Tracy, assistant Secretary
Of Labor, is chairman of the COM
mittee.
The five draft bills are a sabotage
prevention act, an explosives act, a
State Guard act, an Interstate Public
Property Act, and an act providing
for "fresh pursuit" by military forces,
which would permit the entry into
one State of military forces Of another
State in pursuit of insurrectionists,
saboteurs and the like.
On the sabotage bill, the most dan
gerous of the group, the report said:
"The act in peace time would prac-
tically prevent any free individual
from doing any act impeding produc-
ton for defense under pain of the
heaviest criminal penalties. 1t would
seriously curtail or prohibit the rights
of labor to strike, to picket peace

Beaver Falls Too
Tough For LU 1873
Local 33 Bowlers Come Out
On Top In Both Matches
Last Saturday

New Castle, Pa.-Locals 33 and 1873
have had another of their bowling
contests, also a banquet and gen.
eral good time here at New Castle.
The bowlers of 33 again came out
on top, the first team winning by
a margin of % pins and the second
team winning by Is pins. The Beaver
Falls teams seem to have someone
who is able to stimulate their boys
into getting strikes when they need
them. No doubt another match will
be made as the interest in these
matches seem to be getting greater
and the fish supper we had has de-
veloped true friendship between the
members of these locals.
The social committee Of 1873 did a
good job in putting on real spread.
Geno Veri, as chairman and toast
master, must be given great deal Of
credit for it's success. We hope to
have the boys from No. 33 back with
US again. We also hope to have some
one from Headquarters with US.
The trustees of the Beaver Falls
local carried off the welcome sign
which hung over the door at the head
of the tables and two members Of
their teams also carried away the
prizes offered for high score average
of three games. We heard many words
of praise expressed by members of
both locals over the tasty fish sup
per served. Also the music seemed
to stimulate the boys into song. Len
Greco and several others Of 33 re-
sponded to POSTMASTER Veri's request
for few words. They expressed their
appreciation of our efforts to please
them and with the exception of sew
eral of the boys from Beaver Falls
who must have left someone back
home who was very dear to them,
everyone seemed to have a good time.
We hope they all arrived home in good
condition. We gave them something
to remember US by, although we were
not able to give them a beating at
duck pins.
The members of our local are hear
ing reports Of increases being given
in sanitary potteries and as the prices
of food and coal seem to be climbing
higher, while workmen are willing to

Upholds Validity
Of Wdge-Hour Act
Opinion of Supreme Court
Sustdins Minimum Pay
For Workers

Washington, D. C.-The constitu-
tionality of the Federal Wage and
Hour Law, last of the major New
Deal statutes to face a legal chal-
lenge, was unanimously sustained by
the Supreme Court in an opinion af-
fecting minimum wages for millions
of workers.
The decision sustains wage in
creases amounting to $lOO 900 an
nually, the Wages and Hours Division
of the Labor Department said.
1t upholds the right Of Congress to
forbid interstate commerce in goods
produced by child labor, thereby over
turning a twenty-five year old court
precedent.
Finally, it validates the maximum
hour provisions of the law and the
requirement for the payment of over
time for work in excess of eight hours
a day or forty hours a week.
The decision, written by Justice
Stone, declared that the power 70 reg
ulate commerce is the power to pre-
scribe the rule by which commerce is
governed"
The motive and purpose of the
Wage and Hour Law, Justice Stone
said, is plainly to make effective "the
Congressional conception of public
policy that interstate commerce should
not be made the instrument of COM
petition in the distribution of goods
produced under substandard labor
conditions, which competition is in
furious to the commerce and to the
States from and to which the COM
merce flows"
"The motive and purpose of a reg
ulation of interstate commerce are
matters for the legislative judgment
upon the exercise of which the Con-
stitution places no restriction and over
which the courts are given no con-
troll" he added.
This decision was handed down in
the case of the F. w. Darby Lumber
Company of Statesboro, Ga, indicted
for failure to pay the required 25-
cent minimum hourly wage and time
and one-half for hours longer than a
forty-hour week, failing to keep prop
er records and shipping into inter-
state commerce lumber produced by
