the District was advanced a step
further today when the Commits

had inspected the sample tags.
Under Commissioner Young's
plan, the tags would have a white

and ylce versa the next year
Tre plates also would have the
SHE'D of stars and bars which the
District used on the special tags

three-numbered tags, one being

Edst Palestine Members To

Friday Night

East Palestine, Ohio.-Local Union
No. 1865 membership held their reg
ular meeting October 20 with Ct mem
bers present. There was a great deal
of discussion about the one dollar fine
that will be imposed on every member
failing to attend one meeting a
month. In the future, unless you can
give reasonable excuse, such as i'll
ness or working, the members will be
fined.
The plant has slowed down in the
past two months, but we expect to be
going on full time soon.
There was a discussion in regards
to seniority rights between the firm
and the local. We hope they have
come to some understanding on this
clause.
A withdrawal card was presented
to Brother Crubaugh.
Our local will hold a Halloween
dance and party at the meeting hall,
October 81. Earl Biggins is in charge
Of the music with Glenda Mahon and

THE POTTERS HERALD
Shoe Wage Order
To Increase Pow
For About $4,000

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-A 40
cent minimum wage order in the shoe
industry, which will increase the
hourly wage rate of about 10000
workers, will soon be issued, Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division, U. S.
Department of Labor announced here.
The order, effective Nov. 3, estab-
fishes a Accent minimum for shoe
workers. More than 25O,OO0 workers
are employed in the industry as de-
fined for the purposes of fixing the
minimum wage. This definition in
cludes the manufacture of cut stock
and findings.
The 10000 workers in the industry
(the majority Of them women) now
earning less than 40 cents an hour
are located as follows: New England
10000; Middle West, $4,000; Middle
Atlantic States, 10000; Southern
States, 5000.
The industry has been operating
under a 35-cents-an-hour minimum
wage order since April 90, 1910.
The 40 cent minimum rate, the
highest which can be established
under the Federal Wage and Hour
Law, was recommended by commit
tee under the craftsmanship of Msgr
Francis ]. Haas Of Catholic University
on August 25. The committee, which
investigated economic and competitive
conditions in the industry, was com.
prised equally Of representatives OF
the employers, employees and the
public.

Threat Of Hitlerisn

(Coniinurd From Page One)
fense hinges on greater industrial
production. The Government has set
up machinery to adjust industrial dis
putes in the full confidence that it is
adequate to solve problems which
may arise on defense jobs in all fair
ness and justice to the parties con-
cerned. The Cancellation Service of
the United States Department of
Labor and the National Defense
Mediation Board provide ample facili-
ties for the adjustment of differences.
The time has come when the. services
of such agencies must be used before
any recourse is taken to a strike or
lockout and call now upon labor and
management to cooperate at all times
to that end.
This is not the time for idle
promises. This is not the time to take
chances with the national safety
through any stoppage of defense
work or defense production. Instead
this is the time for all of us to work
in harmony for the good of the indi-
vidual and the common good of all
the people of these United States,
Every American owes that to himself
and to the nation which has given
him SO much.
Yes, this nation has given to you
and given to me the right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness and
these are among the greatest bless
ings Of mankind. 1t is our job, our
everlasting job, to preserve them as
we have known them and to make
whatever sacrifice is necessary as in
dividuals or as groups in order to do
so. To do anything else would be to
threaten their destruction and ou,
own at the same time.
In this hour when civilization itself
is in the balance, organizational
rivalries and jurisdictional conflicts
should be discarded. Only by united
action can we turn back the Nazi
threat. The establishment of peace

Minerva Fdns Will

Special Trdin Chartered For

State Sunday

Minerva, Ohio.-Well summer and
baseball are things of the past and
about 85 per cent of this mans town
has been bitten by the football bug.
Sunday the fans move to McKees-
port, Pa, to see our Minerva Merch-
ants take on the Olympics. The spe-
cial train leaves Minerva at 9:3O a.
m., stopping at Salineville, East Liv-
erpool and Pittsburgh. On the return
trip it will leave McKeesport at 7:3O
p. m. If any Of the Liverpool potters
like football, as it should be played,
there will be room for them on the
football special. A good time and
good game are always enjoyed by all
those who make the trip.
The clay shop of the Cronin China
Company is putting on a dance Sat-
urday evening at the local park. Not
to be outdone, the other end of the
plant is talking strongly of promot-
ing a dance Of their own. This is all
very good, but from the reports about
the division in the decorating shop, we
can't see why it is that these people
can get together for a dance and
can't agree on conditions at work. If
they would work together on the shop
conditions in the same manner they
work on a dance, they may get better
results.
