Plan Is Forecast

New York, N. Y.-Matthew Woll
vice president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and chairman of the
American Labor Committee to Aid
British Labor, predicted in a radio
address that "within a very short
period of time all of the major strikes
and stoppages in this country will be
at an end and a plan of mediation
will be functioning to bring about
maximum defense production"
Mr.. Woll recalled the fact that Hit
Ter in "Mein kampf" said he would
nullify Americas war efforts by in
citing strikes.
"No doubt" said Mr.. Woll, Sub
versive elements in our country are
not averse to utilizing points of diff
ference between management and la
Dor as basis for the paralysis Of the
American war effort. However, we
are determined that no stoppages on
our part shall delay the needed help
to Britain in this hour Of crisis"
He then cited actions Of American

Brotherhood. Says Local
Union 1873 Writer

New Castle, Pa.-Members of Local
Union No. 1873 are of the opinion that
education is the only way to win over
those working on the shop who are
not members of the organization. But
it seems rather discouraging to have
so many of the fellows who are not
members of our union ask members of
the committee, "Did the committee get
raise in wages for us today when
they were in the office ?" This is
disheartening.
Some of these fellows need more
money very badly as they have bought
new cars, refrigerators and what
nots. They have told our organizing
committee that just as soon as they
pay off so and so they will be able
to come into the union. And some
of these men owe so many bills around
town that they give the honest union
man bad reputation when the busi-
nessman he wants to deal with finds
out he works at the Universal Sani-
tary Pottery.
Perhaps they will never learn or
appreciate the value of our organ
ization in giving protection, security
and stability. Fighting against low
wages, against favoritism, discrimin-

The meetings have been according
to the schedule, definitely routine.
A number of things before the stand
ing committee were settled recently
satisfactory to both sides. The decal
girls have nice settlement and the
lining prices are being adjusted to
regulate the earnings of the gilders.
1t looks like the whole thing will
swing over without much ado. 1t was
not an easy job with the day work
set up heretofore.
The health program is in full swing
with new posters placed all over the
shop and with cooperation from our
members there is no reason why we
can't have healthy place to work.
One-fourth of your time is spent on
the shop and you surely should have
the incentive to keep it clean. The
firm has shown willingness to help
on the campaign by paying half the
costs of the posters. We have i'm
proved the ventilation and have new
drinking fountains in the various de-
partments.
The resolutions have been coming
in very slow, but we hope to have
few for the main office before the
deadline. The conditions are not so
good, to hear the other fellow tell it,
but when it comes to a resolution to
change condition everyone is mum.

Local Cracks Down on Those
Continually In Arrears: De-
tense Work Rushed

Grafton, w. Va.-Local Union SO
is going to crack down on those men,
bers who are continually in arrears
with their dues and assessments ac-
cording to the word passed out by
President Tally Lisk. This local has
been carrying the load of some who
are never in good standing but always
on the verge of suspension and the
time has come to put a stop to this
practice. The idea of sending a COM
mittee to keep these members from
being suspended has cost this local
some money which could be put to bet
ter purpose.
In a conversation with Mr. w. j.
Frey, Sr., Vice President and General
Manager Of the Carr China Co., Mr..
Frey said, "The Carr China Co. wants
all of it's employees to belong to the
N. B. of o. P" and further stated
that he wanted them to pay their way.
Those in arrears have until next meet
ing, Wednesday, April %, 1941, to
get in good standing or they will be
suspended and those suspended will be
replaced by members in good stand
ing.
Speaking of requirements, Brother

Picnic Auto Last
Word In MOTORING

Have you ever driven a dream
well l did. Just came back from TAX
ing new 194l Olds with hydra
matte drive over the jumps and is it
nice! 1t makes driving so easy you
can't believe it. Why Aunt Minnie
out in Paden City would be able to go
from coast to coast without relief.
No clutch on the floor, no gears to
shift .. just sit down, press on the
accelerator and away you go. First
it's in low, then second, then high and
then fourth, all in jiffy and without
you even thinking about it. What
could be easier than that?
Let's say you are going up a hill
and there happened to be stop light
there. You tighten your foot on the
gas pedal just trifle and you come
to nice, even stop. No brake to hold,
no need to jump your foot back be-
tween pedals, just rest it there and
when the light changes press it down
firmly and away you go.
Is that motoring, or isn't it? Any
one can learn to drive a machine like
that. But the hydramatic drive isn't
the only talking point to this big,
roomy car the Picnic Committee will
hand over to some lucky person the
night of June IA. No sir, 1t is prob
ably as nice a looking job as you
have ever laid eyes on. Massive and
yet it is sleek and trim. A beautiful
blue with chrome and red trim, it
makes striking appearance in any
league, this Custom Cruiser sedan.
1t rides easier than a baby car
riage, in fact it is just like sitting in
your favorite chair in the living
room, only more comfortable. And

Skilled Mechanics

Washington, D. C.-An urgent ap-
peal to workers possessing various
degrees of skill to register at the
local offices every State Employment
Service for jobs in the defense in
dustries was made by President Will
liam Green Of the American Feder-
alton of Labor in an address over
the Blue Network of the National
Broadcasting Company.
Speaking in response to a request
from the Government, Mr.. Green
said:
"In every city, town and village
in the United States, the call has
come for men and women who are
looking for work to sign up for jobs
in the defense industries. A great
registration is under way-voluntary
of course, for in this country workers
are free-but a nationwide registra-
tion at every local office of every
State Employment Service, of men
and women who can fill the enormous
variety of jobs required for our ma
tional defense.
at will take four million more
workers than are now employed, ac-
cording to the estimates, to bring de-
fense production to it's peak. And
the United States Employment Serv-
ice tells US that the registers show,
for the entire country, less than 25
applicants for jobs in each Of a hun
dred skilled occupations essential for
defense production.
every American has an interest
in this registration. American labor
has an obvious self-interest, and a
patriotic one as WELL We want to
see our unemployed at work again. We
want to mobilize the skill, training
and service of all workers in support
of national defense. | believe mil

Two Representatives ofBUC
Council Recommend
ManY Changes

Editors Note:-This is not an of
fetal release of the Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation, nor is it au-
thorized by the Chairman of the Ad-
visory Council.
The release is made at the per-
sonal request Of two public represen-
tatives of the Advisory Council, who
have signed the report.
Columbus, GA minority Report
released today byz.:.gn public men,
bers of the State Advisory Council,
Bureau of Unemployment Compensa-
ton, recommended to Governor Brick
er, the General Assembly, and the
Administrator, "a twofold program,
including both reduction of contri
buttons liberalization of benefits"
Public members signing the Report
were DR.. +. j. Bowers, chairman of
the Department of Economics at Ohio
State University, Columbus and Rabbi
Almond E. Cohen, Of the Jewish Cen
ter, Cleveland. The Report was issued
as a supplement to the Councils
unanimous Report of February 26,
1911, which failed to include specific
recommendations on major benefit and
tax issues. The seven-member State
Advisory Council, appointed by the
Governor with the advice and consent
of the Senate, includes three repre-
sentatives of the public, two of en-
ployers, and two of employees.
The minority Report offered the fol-
lowing recommendations to provide
more adequate unemployment compen-
sation benefits for workers genuinely
attached to the labor market:
1.-Basic period earnings require
ments of $3.50 and employment in 1S
weeks. The Report recommends that
the present requirement of employ
ment in 20 weeks Of the year pre-
ceding the claim, as condition of
eligibility for benefits, be changed to
a double requirement of employment
in 1S or more weeks of the four-quar
ter base period, and earnings of $3.50
or more during such base period.
2.-Waiting period of one week.
Under the present unemployment COM
pensation Law three-week waiting
period is required for which benefits
are not payable. The Report recon-
mends reducing this waiting period
to one week.
3.-Minimum benefit of 81. The Re
port recommends payment of a mini
mum benefit of 81 for week of total
unemployment. The present Law pro-
vides no minimum.
4.-Maximum benefit of S1S. The
Report recommends increasing the
present maximum for a week of total
unemployment from SIS to SIS, citing
the rising cost of living and the work
mems compensation maximum of
$18.75 per week.
5.-Duration of IS weeks. The Re-
port recommends increasing the maxi
mum duration of benefits from 16
weeks to 18 weeks Of total unemploy-
ment. Maximum benefits payable to a
claimant in his benefit year would
thus be equivalent to 18 times the
amount he is eligible to receive for a
week of total unemployment.
6.-Payments in even dollars. The
Reports final recommendation on
benefit payments proposes that each
check be rounded upward to an even
dollar. The minority Report offered
the following recommendations to re-
duce contributions from employers,
through the merit-rating provisions of
the Ohio unemployment compensation
law.

Sensible Pay Raises

BILL before the Legislature would increase the
salary of all elected officials to 81 500 year.
That is not an excessive sum.
If public office is to attract men of character and
ability the taxpayers must expect to fix the salary scale
somewhere the level of private business and industry
Except for the state highway commissioner, who
receives $780, all elected officers today paid
only $1,000 annually The governor receives additional
$1,000 for expenses but inasmuch Michigan does not
furnish executive home, the expense allowance is
justified
One unhealthy development is that many appointive
state officials receive money than do the elected
officers to whom they are responsible.
THERE is for paying larger salaries to the
banking commissioner, liquor control commissioners,
civil service and sales directors and other departmental
heads than received by the governor the state treas
ureF and the secretary of state.
Michigan has been fortunate in that public spirited
citizens have consented in Lansing at financial
sacrifice.
Still, this is not sound theory. 1t is only fair that
state salaries be raised to level commensurate with
service rendered.

OId-Time Broadway Actor
Plans Shows for Draf+ees
BY DAMON RUNYON

DILL MORRISSEY, grand old
A. time actor and producer and
Broadway legend, who has been
laid up with the govt. of all
things, got out of bed the other
morning, hobbled down to his
little office in the Palace The

some distress to a letter read to
him by Billy Jackson from the
latter's son in a southern mill
tary training camp.
Dad" said the letter, 1--WE
are seven miles from town, no
buses and no shows"
Then Jackson also showed
Morrissey a clipping from
newspaper which said that

tons TO supply the soldier boys
with entertainment, all of which
reused Morrissey 10 action and

w is taking the form of col
lecting a big top trucks, lights
and costumes for the purpose of
a perambulating show to make
the rounds of the camp and

Bill says. enthusiastically that
they are going to knock off
Billy Rose for the costumes,
that Jake Shubert is a cinch for
the scenery and that the jokes
will be stolen from Milton
Berle.
Bill thinks we ought to go
with the outfit, but whether for
the purpose of delivering the
stolen Jokes, or just as a spec
tator. he does not state. He
says it will be healthy life. as
we will have TO go to bed before
midnight, and get up early in
the morning. and that there is
no danger of us overeating, as
it will be a Morrissey show.
That is exactly why we are
puzzled by Bills ailment. How
on earth did he get the govt?
