Cured between the employees of this
company since before the first World
War. An adjustment in wages was
made by the company to the men,
bers of Local 78 in accord with the
recommendations of the Canadian
Government under the War by Wage
and Profit Act which is now in effect
in the Dominion. This agreement also
contains provisions calling for vaca-
tion with pay, time and one-half for
overtime over 40 hours and double
time for Sundays and holidays. This
is actually new departure in collec-
tive bargaining in that section of the
Province and the national officials and
employees expect to abide by their part
of the contract. Mr.. Arthur Burgner,
formerly of the Resolute Pottery in
Trenton, is manager of the Canadian
plant and represented the company
during the negotiations and in sign
ing the agreement.
During the same series of confer
ences which have transpired in the
last two months, an adjustment has
been made by the Trenton Potteries
Company and new agreement ne
gotiated with Local Union 81. This is
the heavy porcelain plant known as
the Equitable Pottery.
Negotiations have also started with
the Trenton plant Of the Standard
Sanitary Manufacturers Company and
the Trenton Potteries Mutual plant of
Trenton.
Organizer James Solon and Vice
President Wheatley are representing
the various locals taking part in the
pending conferences. These advances
in wage rates are in several instances
the second and third increases grant
ed by sanitary manufacturers since
January of this year.
President James M. Duffy and other
national officials are now arranging
for a conference with all sanitary
manufacturers and it is expected that
something definite pertaining to the
date that will be set and the manner
of representation by the various sani-
tary locals will be ready for publica-
tion at an early date.

the citizens of this country to clarity
these facts"
The Currier Lumber Company's
labor record is SO bad that industrial
strife would unquestionably ensue if
the contract were awarded to that
firm, Mr.. Gray declared. He submitted
the following statement exposing the
company's labor record:
"The Currier Lumber Company has
a six-year record of practices which
under the National Labor Relations
Act are considered unfair and illegal.
1t has advocated an open shop and
encouraged such policy in the Retail
Lumbers Dealers Association of De-
troit. 1t has intimidated it's employees
from joining the union of their own
choosing. 1t has fostered company
union among the workers of the Cur
rier Lumber Company. It's subsidiary
workers pay, it has sent strikebreak-
ers into a number Of struck of lock-
out plants, as we'll as aiding and
abetting lumber dealers in their fight
against organized labor and we hold
Mr.. Currier is responsible for the
death of one of our members in a
lumber dispute last spring.
"As far back as March, 1887, when
the Truck Drivers Local No. 247 of
the Building Material Coal and Ex-
cavating Drivers and Helpers Union
was engaged in city-wide lockout
with the Lumber Dealers Association
Mr.. Currier was a very active men,
ber of the Labor Committee which
was set up by the Lumber Dealers
Association to conduct negotiations
with the union. Mr.. Currier assured
the union representatives that if the
men were sent back to work negotia-
tions for closed shop, wage in
creases, and other demands of the
strikers would be retroactive to the
date of the mems return to work.
"On this understanding and acting
in good faith the union representa-
tives carried on negotiations with the
Lumber Dealers Association for a
period of about 30 days At the end
of this time, Mr.. Currier announced
the association would not recognize
Local 247 and that the employers OF
their own volition were granting re-
troactive increases to their workers.
"Our union officials in Detroit tell
me that as result of this action the
organization lost it's entire member
ship in the lumber yards with the ex-
ception of one company, the F. M
Sibley Lumber Company, which re-
manned about 90 per cent organized.
"The union committee believed that
Mr.. Currier was acting in good faith
as he told our representatives that
the strike was effective and that the
wise course, for both management and
labor, was for the men to go back to
work and carry on negotiations.
"The Currier Company maintained
social club for it's employees. This
organization carried on social activi-
ties, sick and death benefits and a
credit union. The president of that or
ganization is now president Of the re-
Gently formed CIO union. The Team

the past ten years. At first the
Brotherhood was looked upon with
grave suspicion-its ways of settling
disputes considered inimical to the
best interests Of the employers. In
general the union was exceedingly
obnoxious to the California pottery
officials.

tional approach to any problem per.

that displayed by the officials of the
various local unions has been of such
a character as to win the confidence
of employers.
Second Vice President Frank Hui
has spent most of the past Is months
on the coast. His able management
of all matters has played major
part in this happy development.
George Pace, Wallace China kiln
placer, has represented the N. B. OF

Hull found it necessary to return
east. The work of Brother Pace has
made a deep impress of the name
of the National Brotherhood of Op
erative Potters to a degree that it i:
only fair to state that his part was {
decisive factor in this notable culmi
nation of events.
Joe Sergent, another kilnplacer
employed at the Standard Sanitar!

bassador in northern California, has
exhibited an ability to handle all af

an almost perfect manner.

Ray Dickey, delegate to the AFL con

MENACE
TO LABOR AND
AMERICA---FDR
Presidents Navy Day Ad-
dress Carries Denuncidtion
Of CIO Chieftuin

Washington, D. C.-Pre d n t
Roosevelt, in a nationwide radio
broadcast, denounced the labor lead
ership of John L. Lewis as a menace
to America and American workers.
Angered by the refusal of Lewis to
continue operations of the captive
coal mines pending negotiation of his
demands for closed shop, the Presi-
dent interjected his bitter denuncia-
ton OF the CIO chieftain in the midst
of his Navy Day address.
The President did not mention
Lewis by name but he pointed his
references to him with raised in
tonation of voice to which his audience
at the Mayhower Hotel responded
with resounding cheers. In the fol-
lowing quotation from the Presidents
remarks, the phrases he emphasized
are italicized:
"Our nation will and must speak
from every assembly line, yes, from
every coal mine, the all-inclusive
whole of our vast industrial machine.
OuE IdClOIicS dIlu Jul SIlpy oIus1
are constantly expanding. Our out
put must be multiplied.
"That output cannot be hampered
by the selfish obstruction of any
small minority, small but dangerous
minority of industrial managers who,
perhaps, hold out for extra profits or
for business as usual
"And it cannot be hampered by the
selfish obstruction of small but dan
gerous minority of labor leaders for
a minute. For labor as a whole knows
that that small minority is a menace
to the true cause of labor itself, as
well as for the nation as whole
Lewis called the captive mine strike
despite an urgent plea from the Presi-
dent to permit continued production OF
coal during negotiations so that stee
production would not be impeded. The
captive coal mines are owned by stee
companies and most Of the output is
used by these steel firms.
In all, the President sent three let
ters to Lewis but each plea was re-
jected
The President made it clear in his
letters that the strike endangered the
national defense program. All appeals
to patriotism fell on deaf ears.
Lewis tried to make it appear tha:
the dispute was between him and j. p.
Morgan and in no way involved the
defense program, but the President
refused to let the issue be confused
by such red herrings.
Meanwhile, Lewis defiance of the
President and the needs of the defense
program stirred up a torrent of de-
nunciation in Congress. Sponsors OF
anti-labor legislation took heart from
the situation and announced they
would Immediately press for laws pro
hibiting defense strikes, thus proving
President Roosevelt's charge that
Lewis is a menace to the best inter
eSts Of American workers.
