Resolution Aimed
At Lindbergh Being
Considered BY AFL
Illinois Convention Asks
Hero Be Hit For Speech
At Des Moines

Danville, III. - Condemnation of
Charles A. Lindbergh for his anti
Semitic speech in Des Moines was
asked at the Illinois Federation Of
Labor convention. The resolution was
introduced by Tillie Carle of the
executive board of Pocketbook Work
ers' Local No. 3 of Chicago and was
referred to the resolutions committee,
of which George Sand of the Car
penters' District Council of Chicago is
chairman.
The resolution reads:
"Resolved that this convention of
the Illinois Federation of Labor joins
with the rest of outraged America in
condemning the anti-Semitic speech
of Charles A. Lindbergh at Des
Moines as violent Nazi outburst that
violates every American principle"
The measure undoubtedly will be
called before the convention and prob
ably will go to vote.
"Of course l expect to abide by the
action of the convention" said R. G.
Soderstrom, president, "but person.
ally | think that Lindbergh's utter
ances were vile"
A score of delegates introduced pa
triotic resolutions condemning Nazism
and urging that every aid be given to
England and Russia in their fight
against Hitlerism. Several of the res
olutions also asked that more aid be
sent to China to help balk Japanese
aggression.
One of the resolutions for help to
the Allies was in the nature of a pc
tition that was signed by several hum
dred of the delegates attending the
convention.

New York Unit To Make cIo+hing For
Refugee Children In Great Bri+oin

A new shop for the manufacture of
warm clothing for British refugee
children opened last week at the Rand
School, 7 East 18th street, New York
City. Two hundred women are regis
tered for volunteer work to keep the
shop running every day during the
week.
William Collins, A. F. of L. repre-
sentative in the East, greeted the vol
unteer workers, mostly women, stat
ing that their work twas an addi-
tional significant way of carrying the
message to the British workers of
American Labor's wholehearted sup
port of their unsurpassed heroic
struggle against the Axis nations"
Mr.. Collins pointed out that "this
important work of providing warm
clothing for children in bombed out
areas who have lost their homes and
whose families have lost all their pos
sessions, had the support of the
American labor movement and the
American people and that it was
recognized as an important way to
maintain the high morale of the Brit
ish people in this period of their
trial"
The shop was organized by the
Women's Division of the Social Dem
ocratic Federation in cooperation with
the American Labor Committee to Aid
British Labor, of which Matthew Woll

is chairman.
Max Bluestein, head of the Organi.
zation Department of the New York
Dress Joint Board, ILGWU, repre-
senting Charles S. Zimmerman
ILGWU vice president, hailed the
establishment of the volunteer shop in
the name Of his organization, stating
"On the basis of my experience in the
garment industry, you have great
courage to undertake the task that
you are now starting. 1t is not an easy
one. l can assure you, however," he
continued, "that far from coming
down here and trying to limit the
hours of your work as we do in or
dinary commercial shops, our organi-
zation gives you it's full blessing, and
l promise that we will not try to pre-
vent you from working as long as you
wish or are able to-"
Contrary to the unions practices in
the general industry, Mr.. Bluestein
stated that in this case his organiza-
ton would even "condone and encour-
age homework for the benefit of the
British children. In carrying on this
volunteer work to manufacture gar
ments for the British children, "you
are doing" he pointed out, "what we
did last spring when the membership
of our organization throughout the
country contributed a half days pay
to war relief nnrnOSes"

BILL SLAPPED

Washington, D. G. 0LNS).-The
Bland bill aimed at "subversive" ma
rine radio operators represents "an.
other legislative effort along the lines
Of many made in recent months to
punish labor under the guise of fer
reting out subversive activities" Rev.
erend Owen A. Knox, chairman of the
National Federation for Constitu-
tional Liberties told q subcommittee
of the Senate Commerce Committee
in hearings on the bill.
The bill, H. R. sofa, gives the
Federal Communications Commission
power to withhold or suspend marine
radio operator licenses if it finds that
there is a reasonable probability
that the applicant or holder is "suo-
versive individual" BY its language,
Rev. Knox charged, the measure gives
the FEC unprecedented authority,
going much farther than any other
piece of Federal Legislation to punish
persons for their beliefs, both past
and present, as well as for their past
or present activities.
Declaring the federation which he
represents to be opposed to call forms
of truly subversive activities" Knox
urged defeat of the bill "to prevent
the American people from being dis
united"
The legislation is so framed, he
said, that it would be unnecessary to
prove that a particular individual had
subversive ideas; the FEC would
merely have to have information
which would in the opinion of the
commission justify I finding by it
that there is a responsible probability
that such operator is a subversive in

New York City.-A resolution en-
dorsing Mayor La Guardia for third
term was adopted at meeting Of the

F. of L., in Beethoven Hall.
The resolution was offered by
Thomas J. Lyons, president of the
State Federation of Labor, as chair

Important to the members of Loca
Union No. 124, several changes have
been voted to be put into effect or
October l and November l. After Oc,

ings for liners, tinters, decorating
kilnmen, wareboys and printers on the
first and third meeting nights of the
month; on the second and fourth
meeting nights the balance of the
crafts will convene. If fifth meeting
night occurs during the month, it viii
be an open meeting. What you must
understand is, although your trade is
not scheduled for a meeting, if you
have questions that need attention
they will be considered only after the
scheduled trades have taken care OF
their business.
After November l, if you send youl
dues in by collector you will have to
stand the collection fee instead of the
local paying it. If you bring in youl
own dues no fee will be added. 1t is
hoped by this method to increase the
attendance at our meetings. Although
with the problems at hand for severa
of our trades the meeting room should
be packed to the doors. Have you
checked your due book lately? Look
it over and if you owe for the last
quarter bring in your book and pay
your dues. It's wise to keep in gooc
standing.
With cooler weather at our doors
the entertainment committee is ready
to serve you. Any suggestion for ar
evenings entertainment will receive
consideration by the committee.
The local membership hopes that
the stampers will be able to adjust
their differences after getting the uni.
form scale. If you are stamper, il
will be a good idea to attend the
meetings so it will not fall on just q
few to straighten out the difficulties

President

Perth Amboy, N. 1.-THE regula,
meeting of Local Union No. SO was
held last Friday evening with well
attended gathering due to the i'm
portant matters to be brought up by
the conference committee.
Mr.. William S. Collins of the Union
Labor Life Insurance Company was
present to give US talk on the group
insurance which is rapidly being SUBJ
scribed to by the potters' locals
throughout the country. Mr.. Collins
gave a fine talk on this group insur-
ance plan and the members present
voted on it.
Brother James Solon was present
to hear comments on the conference
committee report and he assisted ir
giving the propositions fair going
over. After considerable discussion
the committee was instructed to fol-
low Mr.. Hugh Petersen's instruc-
tions. A meeting with the firm was
held Tuesday evening with special
meeting of the local later in the eve
ming.
We were very sorry to read in the
paper that Brother Ross Templetor
was unsuccessful in his campaign fol
sheriff in Hunterdon County, but we
are sure the people of that county
still believe Brother Ross is a good
man for public office, in view of the
small ma ajority by which he was de-
feated. Better luck next time.
Sorry indeed are the members OF
Local 96 to read that Third Vice
President George Chadwick has beer
called by death. We know that

Members of Local Union No. 1872
had sad opportunity to appreciate
the Brotherhood sponsored group in
surance plan recently put into effect
in the plant. Within period of ten
days, three members of the local
passed away, one death was caused
by an accident while the other two
were due to natural causes. In the
case of the accidental death, which
pays the beneficiary $1,000, copy of
the death certificate was received
September 20 and the check was in
the hands of the beneficiary six days
later.
Since the plan was put in operation
late in May there have been three ac-
cdental death claims paid. The latest
being to the benefciaries of Gerald
Sutherin, 2O-year-old w. S. George
employe who died last Sunday follow
ing an automobile accident ten days
previously. Numerous hospital bills
and disability checks have been paid
, by the company.
Members of the Brotherhood in
California have become so enthusiastic
to gain the benefits to be derived from
this bargain insurance they have
taken the matter in their own hands.

Brotherhood Insurance Plan
Receiving Much Thought
By Members

Trenton, n. J.-Local Union No. 45
had a very lively and enjoyable time
last Friday evening. The only COM
plant being that some of the refresh
ments were not chilled enough. We
hope to correct that at another date
but hope that some new blood will
make it their business to help things
along. Some of those who have been
doing all the work for a long time
say they would like to be served for
change, but we have sneaking
idea that it is hard for them to keep
out of the thick of it.
Visiting members of Local Union
No. 1873 were given hearty welcome
and asked to come again. Dave Hotf-
man, an oldtimer of as was given a
welcome, as were some friends from
Lambertsville.
Our 194l picnic was lived over
again on the silver screen. Thanks
very much Mr.. Operator for the pic
lures shown. Arthur Wildblood, Jr.,
was with US for this part of the pro-
gram and we shared his sorrow that
his father who was with US for the
event had passed on.
Another item which made great
hit were the "brown" sandwiches pre-
pared by Brother Charles Smith. May
we have many more of these sand
wiches.
During the business session, a let
ter of appreciation from Mrs. Hout
was read, thanking US and the Broth
erhood for sympathy and aid given in
the passing of her son. We were glad
that we could pass on the full insur-
ance for this member.
Brother George Copestake is back
from his vacation in South Carolina.
He speaks very highly of the hous-
ing facilities he found there, but
states the scenery is not to be COM
pared with this section of the country.
Frank Schek finished with US this
week and leaves for Fort Dix next
Wednesday. We believe there are
others leaving at this time, but we do
not have the details.
We were greatly saddened to read
in the Herald of the passing of Third
Vice President George Chadwick and
our sincere sympathy goes out to his
family and all his friends.
Local Union No. sos letter was
very interesting. We hope you get all
you are asking for boys and we also
wonder if you had anything to do
with the "roof raising 2"
The N. B. of o. P. insurance plan
is still receiving a lot Of thought and
we hope that way will be found to
incorporate it with our present setup.
Mr.. White and Mr. Collins will be in
vited to come and talk the matter over
with US again. The thing that appeals
to us is it's permanence. We thank
the officials Of the Trenton Potteries
Company very much for the interest
they have taken along this line for
many years, but we cannot forget that

Union For Democratic Ac.
ton Holds $2l Monthly
Inadequate

New York City QLNS).-The ex-
ecutive board of the Union for Demo-
cratic Action, meeting under the
chairmanship of Dr. Reinhold Me
buhr, Professor of Christian Ethics
at the Union Theological Seminary
announced plans to bring immediate
pressure on Congress to raise the rate
of pay to American soldiers consider
ably above the $21 monthly now being
paid.
In announcing the unions plans, DR..
Niebuhr stated that mo fair minded
American can claim that $21 a month
is sufficient to meet the needs of
recreation and personal and family
necessities, especially since so little
is left after compulsory army expen-
ditures."
DR.. Niebuhr pointed out that the
union had received numerous COM
munications from its members and
friends among the draftees, all of
whom supported the Administrations
foreign policy but complained that a
$21 monthly check left them almost
nothing for recreation, travelling ex-
penses, etc., and less than nothing for
any family responsibilities back home
Among those present at the execu-
tive board meeting, in addition to Dr.
Niebuhr, were Prof. George Counts of
Teachers College, president of the
American Federation of Teachers, and
Mark Starr, educational director Of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. The Union for Demo
cratic Action was founded last spring
by group of American liberals tc
carry on two-front fight for democ-
racy, at home and abroad.

inaugurated by the locals of the

con at the Weinman Grill. President
James M. Duffy was scheduled to
make an address at the meeting but
due to urgent business matters had
to cancel his appointment, but con-
veyed by telegram, his interest and
approval of the Union Labor Life In
surance group policy to locals who
desire this protection. He also urged
that all locals in New Jersey affiliate
with their respective Central Labor
Unions and the State Federation of
Labor. Due to President Duffy's alb
sence, Vice President E. L. Wheatley
presided at the meeting and intro
duced Mr.. Edmund Tobin, vice presi-
dent Of the Union Labor Life Insur-
ance Company and Francis White of
East Liverpool, special representative
of the same company. Both presented
remarkable speeches concerning the
merits, benefits and protection that
can be secured by potters who are in
terested in Union Labor Life group
insurance.
Following the speeches both Mr..
Tobin and Mr.. White invited questions
from the delegates and much enlight-
eminent was given by the two gentle
men on group insurance, which, if
taken back to the locals should
eventually lead to the plans adoption
by all locals.
The Union Labor Life Insurance
Company intends to send it's special
representatives to any or all locals
interested in group insurance if the
locals concerned will communicate
with the eastern office, the Union
Labor Life offices in New York or
East Liverpool, Ohio.
President Louis Marciante of the
State Federation of Labor also ad-
dressed the meeting and pointed out
to the delegates the fact that much
labor legislation has been enacted in
New Jersey through which the pot
ters are receiving benefits. 1t is sad
but true that the potters have failed
to show proper appreciation by af-
filiating with the State Federation
and lending their support (Which is
always necessary to convince poll
ticians that labor is united) to the
legislation that the State Federation
officials are endeavoring to have en-
dorsed by the Assembly and Senate.
At the present time silicosis bill,
which is vitally important to all pot
ters, has been endorsed by the State
Federation and will be proposed in

zation support is needed to force the
