Smashing Federation Victory Predicted
In International Harvester Elections

Chicago, Ill.-All signs point to a
smashing American Federation of La
Dor victory in the National Labor Re-
lations Board elections to be held June
1S at the six plants of the Internation-
al Harvester Company.
Membership in the six A. F. of l..
Federal labor unions at these plants
has gained by leaps and bounds in the
past month, Harry E. O'Reilly, re-
gional organization director for this
district, disclosed.
All affiliated unions of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor are pitching
in to help the International Harves-
ter organization drive and the work
ers have been deeply impressed by
their strength and solidarity and sup
port.
O'Reilly declared that the wildcat
strike called at the Mccormick plant
by the CIO with only handful of
members has taught the workers the
folly of joining an irresponsible union
influenced by Communist leaders.
The elections will be held simul-

Contracts Signed
With Seven Firms
Two-Yedr Poets Coll For S
And ? Per Cent Boosts
In Wages

Two contracts effecting the en-
ployes Of seven firms were signed the
past week by locals affiliated with the
National Brotherhood Of Operative
Potters.
A five per cent increase in wages
was Incorporated in the agreement
for the Ceramic Speciality Co. of this
city which was reached last Thurs
day. This contract incorporates a
closed shop and check clause.
The shop committee was headed by
Vice Presidents Frank Hull, George
Turner and Joshua Chadwick.
Mr.. Hull also headed the commit
tee which reached an agreement with
six firms in the Roseville-Crooksville
district last Tuesday night.
This contract calls for increases
which will mean a seven per cent
boost on the shops payroll. A six
and one-half per cent increase was
effected at a conference held last
January.
The firms which are party to the
agreement are the A. E. Hull Pottery
Co., Star Stoneware Co., Watt Pot
terry Co., all of Crooksville; the Brush
Pottery Co., National Pottery Co.,
both of Roseville, and the Zane Bur-
ley Co. of South GAINESVILLE.
The employees voted to accept the
terms of the new contract after many
many discussions of the clauses.
Although the Universal Clay Prod
ucts Co. of Sandusky had agreed to
close the plant while the employees
were enjoying their paid vacations,
the local voted to stagger this time
off in a patriotic move when the firm
was granted large government or
der. Mr.. Hull was present when the
vote was taken last Monday night.

Local As To Elect
This Friday Night
Three Hundred Attend Lo-
col Outing To Set Record
Last Saturday

Trenton, N. J.-In spite of the hot
weather much interest was shown at
the regular meeting Of Local Union
No. as last Friday evening.
Nomination of local officers for the
next six months was the main item of
business. Election will be next Fri
day, June 27 and we hope there will
be good turnout to take care of this
very important matter.
Brother Davies reported for the
Outing Committee and stated every
thing was ready for the morrow.
Brother Jack Forester has been
granted a leave of absence from his
bench which we all hope will be Of
great benefit to him. Charlie Smith
is back on the job in more ways than
one and we trust he will be with US
for long time.
We are sorry to hear that one or
two Of our members are still trying
to make our days work harder than
ever, but we hope that a little rea-
soning and good common sense will
be all that is necessary to straighten
this out. The other 275 will do all in
their power to retain the pace from
getting any faster. We can see the
bad effect of this extreme racing on
the faces Of the men and also loss Of
weight.
We had wonderful day last Sat-
urday for our outing and it brought
out a record crowd of close to 300.
Many old-timers were able to be with
US and it was great joy to welcome
them all, including Arthur Wlidblood
Sr., Jim Elder, Jack Morton, Frank
Liliandahl and others whose names
we do not recall.

Radio Address

London, England.-Arthur Green
wood of the British Cabinet broadcast
an appeal to workers in the United
States, urging them to "play full
and active part in Americas defense
of democracy" and the defeat of Naz-
ism.
Mr.. Greenwood, Minister without
portfolio in the Churchill Cabinet and
Labor party leader, asked the Ameri-
can workers in a transatlantic radio
broadcast to stand side-by-side with
British labor to fight "for our COM
mon liberties, common hopes and for
the future"
"My message to the workers of the
United States is this: The British
workers have blazed the trail for de-
mocracies working class organiza-
tions," he said. "We have, as result
of ceaseless struggles for a century
and half, built up an organized la
Dor movement which, because of it's
past sacrifices and achievements for
our humble folk and our workers, is
determined to defend Britain.
"Organized labor in the United
States is newer growth. 1t has it's
own problems. But in this world sit

Red Issue Splits
CiO As Reported
Purge Is Denied
Fear Organization Will Hit
Rocks During Next
Convention

Washington, D. C.-Revolt within
CIO ranks against Communist lead
ership assumed such threatening pro-
portions that impartial observers free
ly predicted the organization would be
split wide open at its next conven-
ton.
President Phil Murray, after chas-
tising Communist leadership in two
local CIO unions, finally was forced
to draw in his horns and send out
letter to CIO affiliates denying any in
tention of "purges" or "Red hunts"
The Washington Merry-Go-Round
column attributed Murray's sudden
change of front to pressure from
Harry Bridges and other Communist
CIO chiefs.
Meanwhile, right-wingers and left
wingers in the CIO slugged it out ver-
bally and in the public prints. One
of the most enlightening comments
came from John Green, head Of the
CIO Shipbuilding Workers Union, who
was quoted in the New York Times
as saying:
"The real saboteurs are the Com
munists hiding behind John L. Lewis's
coat tails"
The CIO Newspaper Guild was
again in a turmoil of strife over the
Communist issue. The New York
chapter adopted resolutions condemn
ing President Roosevelt for sending
troops to break the Communist strike
at the North American Aviation Com
pany in Los Angeles, but other local
unions promptly condemned the New
York group.

President of the Guild and dubbed q

Retires As
Local 6 President
Held Office Thirteen Years;
Wheeling Wonts Boil Club
At Next Picnic

Wheeling, w. Va.-Local Union No.
6 wishes to extend a vote of thanks
to Brother George Grimm who has
served the organization in an official
capacity for over twenty-one years
and as president for the past thir-
teen years. He declined the nomina-
ton for another term, stating that he
wants a vacation from all official du-
ties and plans to spend most of the
summer evenings at his camp on Fish
Creek. While the camp is not COM
pleted, we understand a large crop Of
vegetables has been planted and per-
haps some of the boys at the shop will
help Brother Grimm dispose of the
produce later on. A corn roast will
be in order at the proper time.
Brother Charles Conrad, liner, be-
came Mr. Grimm's successor in the
balloting and we feel he will carry on
in the same energetic manner as the
former president. Brother Ted Mount
ford received the vice presidency and
the remainder of the officials were re-
elected for another six-month term.
Now that the picnic is over, this O.
c. would like to express the locals
thanks to the ticket committee of No.
6 who did very good job this year
in disposing Of the pasteboards on
the car. Quite a few members are
not entirely satisfied with only one
prize on the ticket and believe the Pic
mic Committee should make a change
next year. The suggestion is ad-
vanced to have several less expensive
articles on the chances, thereby Great
ing more interest.
This seems the right time to call
to the attention of the Picnic Commit
tee the Warwick A. G. ball clubs ef-
forts on the diamond. The boys play
ing with this team are made up of
potters in the shop and they are now
near the top of the semi-pro league
in this city. A chance to perform at
the picnic next year is the teams aim.

Easy Does III!
Fourth of July Should Be
Sole And Sane

Chicago ULNS).-The Fourth of
July this year will bring the biggest
traffic jam in the nations history. the
National Safety @nea predicts.
More important, It also will bring
the biggest holiday traffic toll, the
council warned-unless the extra haz-
ard is met by extra caution.
More than 100000 vehicles will
pack the highways over the three-day
holiday period, the council said. They
will travel four billion miles-the
greatest total ever rolled up on the
nations speedometers in any one
week -end
Safety Effort Asked },
To meet the threat of a record
breaking traffic toll, the council call
ed on every driver and every pedes-
trian to enlist in a nationwide effort to
avoid accidents. Thirty national or
ganizations are joining with the coun-
Gil in a campaign to cut the holiday
toll on the highway, on the beach, in
the home and from fireworks.
Last year these same organizations
united in a similar drive, and the ma
tons traffic toll came down in July
the only month in the last 10 to show
decrease. The keynote Of this
years campaign is, "We can do it
again!"
Even with it's lower traffic toll
July in 1910 brought death to $500
persons through all types of acci.
dents. More than 100000 others
were injured in accidents, and the
economic cost was $3OO,OOO,OO0. In
traffic alone, 2,79O lives were lost.

Atlantic Shipyord
Workers Will Win
Boost Under Pact
Proposed Zone Standards
Are Submitted To Workers
And Management

Pay increases are provided under
proposed zone standards, submitted
for consideration to the managements
and workers of SIS Atlantic Coast
shipyards by the Shipbuilding Stabili-
zation Committee of the Labor Divi-
sion, Office Of Production Manage
ment. The standards were recently
formulated by the subcommittee Of
the Atlantic Coast Shipbuilding Sta
bilization Conference and are de-
signed to stabilize employment and
production in Atlantic Coast shipbuild-
ing.
Fifty-fve ship plants along the
East Coast, employing some $4,000
workers, from New England to the
Baltimore Norfolk area, are covered
by the standards.
The proposed standards embody a
potential two-year agreement includ-
ing the following terms: Uniformity
of wage rates and conditions for con-
struction and repair workers; basic
wage rate of SLIP for first-class skill
ed mechanics, with corresponding per-
centage changes for other employees;
adjustment Of wages after one year

Wage-Hour Ruling
Put More Workers
Under 4O-hr. Week
Retail Employees Benefit In
Great Numbers BY
New Policy

Washington, d. C. OLNS).-A
new policy expected to bring many
employees of retail establishments un-
der provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act for the first time has
been announced by the Wage and
Hour Division, U. S. Department of
Labor.
Explaining the new policy which it
said was based on direction Of Federal
Appellate Courts that exemptions
from humanitarian legislation should
be strictly construed, the Wage and
Hour Division said that rs per cent
of the sales made or services perform
ed by commercial establishments
must be retail to qualify them for ex-
emption from the law.
Where wholesale, commercial and
industrial sales, non-retail in char
acter, total more than rs per cent,
the 4O-hour week and the 3O-cents an
hour minimum will apply, the ruling
said.
Retail Sale" Concept Broadened
At the same time, the division will
broaden it's concept Of "retail sale. F"
AS a result, some sales to industrial
or commercial purchasers may be in
cluded as retail in determining the
status of an establishment under the
wage and hour law. These sales must
be of articles commonly sold both to
business and private purchasers and
must be in quantity or at a price
similar to sales to private purchasers.
This policy, effective July l., was
announced by General Philip B. Flem-
ing, administrator of the division, in
making public an "interpretative bull
letin."
Court Decisions Cited
Some 6,242,000 wage earners are
employed in the distribution and SELL
ing of goods and services, according
to most recent figures compiled by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those en-
gagged in retail or service establish
ments and those engaged in "local
retail capacity" in any type of estab-
lishment are exempt from the wage
and hour law. The 30-cent minimum
wage and 4O-hour week apply to the
others if they are engaged in inter-
state commerce or in the production
of goods for interstate commerce. AS
a result of this exemption, the regu-
lation of retail store employees has
been left to state action.
"From the first," General Fleming
said, "the division has taken the posi-
ton that a Substantial amount of
