CLEVELAND, June 12.-There is
a concerted one-man effort to con-
vert Manager Bucky Harris of the
Mats into an amateur astrologiSt,
but Mr.. Harris, who belongs to the
Scorpio school of thought, is shun-
ming the invitation. His stubborn
attitude may ruffle the planetary
powers and shackle the Mats in the
cellar, but Bucky calmly defies
disaster.
"Mr. Harris" wired sincere
Washington fan, w. w. GrubbS, Il
am the man you was talking to in
Washington about my system on
selecting pitchers by astrology. Mr..
Harris, will you just try this for
Wednesday and Thursday-Wednes-
day Sundra, Thursday Kennedy
and see your results. I know you
will win both games if you use
them
There were two victories handed
to Harris for the price of a telegram,
but this sinister Scorpio character
wanted to win the hard way. He

Aries influence probably was out of
whack today, when Harris requested
him to pitch.
What the Stars Say.
In regard to Vernon Kennedy, the
Milky Way and Big Dipper probably
will be forced to come down and
have a chat with Bucky before he'll
start that Pisces product.
well, are you gonna consult the
stars?" questioned Coach Clyde
Milan when Harris displayed the
telegram. why, 1t was only last
week I was talking to Rudy York, y

and had fine discussion only
yesterday. I'll talk to those fellows
any time"
Mr.. Harris, as depicted, is no en-
thusiast of astrology. Seventeen
years he has been trying to learn
something about pitchers and now
the magical touch is offered and he
snubs it, Our quest for higher edu-
cation carried us to the corner drug
store, though, where we purchased
two-bits worth of heavenly dope.
We've thumbed the literature thor
oughly, Mr.. Grubbs, but there isn't
anything astonishing in view for
Aries Sundra or Pisces Kennedy.
The magazine says Pisces people
show distinct possibility of en-
countering some problem with others
this month. We would take that to
mean Kennedy isn't going to get
anybody out this month either.
Maybe Bucky better save him and
see what the July issue predicts for
him.
The Pisces prediction goes on to
say, Mr.. Grubbs, Short trips should
add to your enjoyment-but avoid
risks when travelling" Maybe this
Western trip was a bit too long for
Kennedy because I'm not scooping
anybody when I tell you he hasn't
enjoyed the journey. Harris is see
ing to 1t that he doesn't take un-
necessary risks. such as pitching
regularly.
Sundra, we learn, is in for a heck
of time. The Aries article says,

tarily," Mr.. Woll said: "We have al
ways been in the forefront of the
struggle against totalitarianism and
know how closely our fate as trade
unionists is tied up with those who
are fighting Nazism and Fascism
abroad. In addition to providing the
tools of defense for these active
fighters, labor has undertaken to re-
lieve the sufferings Of the civilians,
particularly the workers and their
families in the countries now engaged
in war against the axis powers and
suffering from their unbridled horrors
of the axis aggressions.
81 urge labor everywhere to work
as hard and to contribute in proper

be the same wherever we may live in

Ford Breaks Labor
Law Unions Chdrqe
Advantage Is Given Lewis
Union In Election Drive.
NLRB Told

Washington, D. C. ULNS).-The
Ford Motor Company has violated the
National Labor Relations Act by
favoring the Congress Of Industrial
Organizations in various ways, Ia
American Federation of Labor local
unions charge in complaint to the
National Labor Relations Board.
In the middle of October the NLRB
ruled that the union shop contract
made by the Ford company and the
CIO United Automobile Workers was
no bar to an election asked by the
A. F. of L. The effect of this ruling
vas to deprive the CIO Of that part Of
the contract covering ID Ford feeder
plants in Michigan, for the agreement
had covered all Ford plants, though an
election, won by the CIO, had been
conducted in only two plants the big
River Rouge and Lincoln factories.
AS no collective bargaining election
had been held in the feeder plants
where the A. F. of L. contended it had
a majority Of the employees, the labor
board agreed to an election, which was
set for Oct. 20.
In view of the charge of the A. F.
Of L. unions, Joseph A. Padway, A. F.
of L. general counsel, filed a request
that the labor board postpone indeti-
nitely the election, pending the boards
investigation of the complaint.
The complaint accuses the Ford
company of number of violations of
the labor act in the period previous to
the election date. 1t is charged that
supervisory employees in the ID plants
"talked up" the CIO and talked
down" the A. F. of L. and threatened
A. F. of L. members with penalties If
they did not vote for the CIO.
1t is also charged that the company
permitted the CIO to post union bulle-
tins in the IA plants and to have with
held permission for the A. F. of L. to
post similar bulletins on union activi-
ties.
Other Violations Charged
CIO employees, according to the A.
F. of L. charges, were permitted to
go through the plants freely on COM
pany time and urge employees to vote
for their organization, while that priv
ilege was denied A. F. of L. members.

Convention Of Electrical Workers
Is Largest In History Of Union

and the Rural Electrification Admin
istration, are also participating.
The convention will be the first in
IL years, and for that reason will
have a record amount of business to
transact. 1t won't be surprising if un-
friendly newspapers and other foes of
unions make adverse comment about
the lapse of time since the last con-
clave, but the explanation is simple.
Shortly after the 1929 convention
the worst depression in history de-
scended on the nation. Nevertheless,
officers of the Brotherhood felt that
conventions should be held each four
years, as provided by the constitution.
They so recommended to the locals,
but each time the proposal was made
it was turned down, because many
members were out of work and local
unions funds were too low to meet
their share of convention expenses.
In all, five referenda were held on
the subject, and the vote was mega
tive in each case, up to the present
convention. In the interval, the Ex-
ecutive Council efficiently transacted
the unions business, but many impor-
tant matters were submitted to men,
bers for their decision by referendum.
Despite the severe economic crisis,
the Brotherhood not only held its
ranks firmly, but steadily advanced,
and today it's membership is three
times as great as at the last conven-
ton. Financially, the organization is
in an unusually sound position.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1941-11-06

St. Louis, Mo.-One Of the nations
strongest and most progressive labor
organizations, the international
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
opened the biggest convention in it's
history here.
Nearly 1900 delegates, from all
parts of the United States and Can
ada, as we'll as from Alaska, New
foundland, Hawaii and the Canal
Zone, were on hand when President
Ed ]. Brown called the session to
order in the impressive Thomas JEFF
ferson Hotel.
The convention marks the fiftieth
anniversary since the founding of the
Brotherhood by 10 courageous line
men in this very city.
When the international was born, it
had total of 300 members. Today,
it's rolls include far over 100000.
Wages then averaged about $1.50 for
a 10-hour day. Now they are nearly
that much per hour. Electricity was
then in it's infancy. Today it is the
nations mightiest source of power.
This marvellous progress of both the
union and the industry will be drama
tized by a huge electrical exposition
at the Municipal Auditorium by Local
No. /, the first to be chartered by the
Brotherhood.
Every phase of the giant electrical
industry is represented by exhibits,
and government power agencies, such
as the Tennessee Valley Authority
