E. L. Retdil Clerks
In All Out Drive
Duffy Encourages Union At
First Annudl Banquet
Held Last MonddY

Speaking to more than 100 store
employees at the Retail Clerks Inter-
national Protective Association Local
1885 first annual banquet at Hotel
Travellers here last Monday night,
James M. Duffy, president Of the Natl
onal Brptherhood of Operative Potters
urged the union to seek a unity of
purpose while placing greater per-
sistence in back Of it's desire for i'm
proved wages and working conditions.
The potters' chief stated that other
organizations would back the clerks
drive wholeheartedly but they would
first have to be made familiar with
those firms cooperating with the
clerks and those refusing to deal with
the union. President Duffy indicated
that the potters and other organiza-
tions would be urged to patronize
only those establishments able to
make the fair list, which would mean
100 per cent organization.
Real trade unionists, he pointed out,
in addition to purchasing only union
made articles, purchase them only
from union clerks and these can be
distinguished by the buttons they
wear
James H. Grafton, secretary-treas-
urer Of Trades and Labor Council,
acted as toastmaster, calling on sew
eral other labor leaders for remarks.
George Salsberry, Central Body presi-
dent and Walter Crease of Columbus,
clerks international representative,
were among those responding.
Mr.. Crease assured the clerks the
state body would back the local in it's
program, but stated the heads of the
organization are of the opinion that
there has been too much delay in
East Liverpool. He added that it has
been definitely decided to get action
quickly.

Experienced Committee Is
Predicting More Fun
And Features
RECORD TO TUMBLE
Last Years $4,000 Crowd To
Take Back Sect After
Saturday. June IL

There can be little doubt about it
the seventeenth annual Potters Picnic
to be held at Idora Park, Youngstown,
June IA, just matter Of FIVE weeks
in the future, will far exceed any,
thing yet attempted by the expert
enced committee in avoiding the pot
tiers with the best in entertainment
for whole day.
The reputation for staging bigger
and better outing year after year is
not hollow one. The committee has
been on the alert, watching all fea-
lures with a close and critical eye,
discarding anything which failed to
live up to the high standards set
while constantly striving to bring in
new and amusing novelties.
You can be certain that this year
will be no exception to the rule. You
have this on the word of the COM
mittee, but there is only one way to be
absolutely sure and that is to have
a good look yourself. That is the
way the committee wants it.
Last year record crowd of $4,000
proclaimed the Golden Anniversary
Outing the best ever staged in this
section Of the country. Since salts
fed customer is always the best ad-
vertisement, it is confidently predicted
that upwards of 10000 potters and
friends of the Brotherhood will come
from fal and neas to renexs old friend
ships and have the time of their lives,
June IA.
There is nothing like a Potters Pic
mic to provide the time and place for
a good old fashioned "bull session."

seen in years, or at any rate since

fight promoters have contacted the
committee and the bouts, too, may be
awarded at the meeting.
In an attempt to find new features
to replace a couple Of we'll worn ones,
the committee wrote to Bill Stern,
Rosy Roosevelt, Ted Husing and Tom

Southern Labor
BIumeS Defense
Strikes On CIO
No Defense Jobs In South
Have Been Hdlted Or
Slowed By Strikes

Atlanta, Ga.-Southern Labor has
spoken through four great conven-
tions of Southern State Federations
of Labor within the past few days,
and resolutions adopted in each of
these conventions have emphasized the
following facts:
That there have been no strikes on
any national defense jobs in the
South.
That the A. F. of L. unions have
done and are doing practically all
work on all national defense jobs in
the Southern States.
That there will be no strikes on any
defense job in the Southern States
where the A. F. of l.. unions have
the power, through collective bargain
ing rights, to prevent strikes.
That strikes occurring in other Sec
tions of the country have been caused
and called by the CIO, through which
the Communist Party members and
llow-travelers operate.
That hysteria demand for legisla-
ton, such as the Vinson bill, has been
caused by the activities of subversive
groups working through CIO.
The conventions were held by the
Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and Ala
bama State Federations of Labor.
President William Green, speaking at
the Alabama State Federation con-
vention, sounded the keynote when he
said:
"Strikes in defense industries are
to be found only in those places where
the CIO is active" President Green

Jiggermen Holding
Saturday Meeting
To Nome DeIegotes
Machine Problem Discussed
At Lost Session Of Local
Union No. IL

| Local Union No. 12's meetings con.
tinue to be we'll attended and inter-
esting. Many fine speeches are being
made on local meeting nights in behalf
of the variens 4prefAtas that confront
us. Those who are missing these
meetings are not keeping their edu.
cation up to standard as the prob
lens are new and must be met with
some different approach than has been
formerly used.
We voted for national officers Tues
day and this coming Saturday we will
select the delegates to the National
Convention which will be held in Buff
falo. This date, May 10, was selected
because Of those jiggermen who are
employed on the night shift at the
various plants. The meeting will start
at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon and
all members are requested to be pres
ent.
The principal problem confronting
us at the present is that of ur en-
ployed jiggermen. This is caused, no
doubt, by the machine process of
manufacturing many articles that
were formerly done by the hand jig
gers. A special committee has been
appointed by No. IL to ask the natl
onal officials to call conference to
deal with this displacement of jigger-
men. While they have made one fav-
orable report the situation is still
much the same.
In all of our conferences with the
manufacturers we have been assured
that we would be taken care of and
that the machine would lower the cost
of producing ware enough to create a
greater demand for other articles
made in the shops, thus giving us an
opportunity to qualify for other work.
A special conference held during the
depth of the depression resulted in our
being granted so per cent of the op-
portunities at other trades for dis
placed journeymen clay workers whose
mode of work had been made obsolete
by new methods of manufacture.
Some dlshmakers have taken advan-
tage Of this, but at this date not one
jiggerman has been advanced to any
Of these new jobs. Naturally some
of our members are quite ranked
over this, and we hope that some
progress will be made soon in carry
ing out the settlement of the past
conference.
All jiggermen who are unemployed,
or those holding what are called tenn
porary jobs are urgently requested to
register at Headquarters. This tenn
porary job business is getting to be a
pain in the neck. One member recent
ly related an experience of working
eight years for a local firm without
being considered regular. It's high
time to call a halt to such practices
as these.
Well, the daylight savings time
shenanigan was surely some fasco.
Some bright boys got an idea, and
they think it'll help their business,
so they take it up to the Little Build
ing. They give US only a few days
to vote on it, going to the trouble Of
mailing in your votes, etc. Too many
ideas have been hatched up in that
building for the good of the city, and
here's hoping that none of US will be
caught sleeping in the future.

Il Million Poppies
For Poppy Day

Twelve million poppies to be worn
on Poppy Day May "a. are being
completed by disabled veterans
working in government hospitals
and American Legion Auxiliary
workrooms in every part of the ma
ton, according to Mrs. Ed. Holm
gren, Poppy chairman of the local
Auxiliary Unit. The largest OBJ
servance of Poppy Day since the
custom OF wearing peoples in honor
of the World War dead was estab
lished is expected this year
THE poppy has increased mean
ing to US this year." said Mrs. Holm
gren. 1T reawakens memories of
the sacrifices made in Americas
service in 1917 and 1918 and re-
minds us that freedom is ours only
because Americans have been will
ing to give their lives for the ma
ton. With new dangers facing our
country, we need the inspiration of
unselfish service which the poppy
brings"
The memorial flowers which the
local Auxiliary women will dis
tribute are being made at Fort Har-
rison, under the sponsorship Of the
Montana Department of the Auxili-
airy. Employment for many dis
abled veterans has been provided
here by the poppy work, as at APP
proximately 80 other manufactur-
ing centers in all parts of the coun-
try. Every poppy offered by the
Auxiliary will be veteran-made and
the earnings of the veterans will
total $4,000.
Members of the Auxiliary here
will form part of poppy army of
100000 women who will go into
action on a nation wide front by
the morning of May "a, distributing
peoples on the streets of thousands
of cities and towns. All will serve
as unpaid volunteers, permitting ev-
cry penny of the contributions
made for the peoples to go into the
welfare funds of the Legion and
Auxiliary. These funds work
throughout the year, bringing re-
lief and aid to disabled veterans
and needy children of veterans. The
bulk of the local contributions will
remain in Libby to finance well
fare activities here.

Food Substitutes

During the World war, starving
Germans invented numerous food
substitutes, but it is unlikely that
they will resort to such extremes at
this time. Elephant steak was
delicacy in Dresden and Leipzig in
1877. Grass became an important
vegetable. Crows and sparrows
brought high prices. Bread was
made from one part grain, two parts
sawdust; chalk was added to flour;
glue was used in making pudding.
A coffee substitute contained fruit
seeds, turf, nutshells-no trace Of
coffee.
