 Senator Hiram W. Johnson, R., Calf: What do you mean by short-of-war?"
 Knox: T mean everything short of sending military assistance, eith- CT navy or army assistance"
 Johnson: "Now, you would not go to war under any circumstances in this particular misadventure that is occurring in Europe, would you?"
 Knox: That is right"
 Johnson: "You never, on any oc- casion, would attempt to send our boys, as we term it, abroad in a European controversy"
 Knox: That is right"

 Last october 18th the young man filled out his card,4 and later went so far as to pass the physical eX- animation before it was discovered that he was under the required age. This year, however, every thing is official, but Schefeliti will have to take another physical ex- animation. The draft board has declared his first card null and void.
 The total of registrants this year was far below the figure of last Oc- tober. At that time 12.106 men from 21 to 35 years of age were signed up for the draft. The tre- mendous disparity, however, is due to the fact that the age limit this year was confined to the 21 year group. In view of this, the large number who did register is Some- what surprising.
 Several residents of Waterbury were unable to register due to their absence from the city. Among these was Francis c. Kelly who was married to Miss Nora c. Broderick here Saturday. Kelly registered in New York, and his card will be for warded to his Waterbury draft board. The same procedure will be followed in all other cases where registrants were absent from the city.
 Cards will be shNJled en July g. and given serial numbers. At & later date, national lottery will be held at which registrants will be assigned final order numbers. This will determine the order in which they will be summoned for service. 12,O28 in State

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-Two

ed 20 employees belonging to an Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor union in 1897
will not be required to reinstate them
with back pay, under a preliminary
to / decision of the National Labor
Relations Board.
The decision was based on the con-
tention that the technical violations
Of the National Labor Relations Act
of which the companies were found
guilty were involuntary and forced by
action of a CIO union.
The finding was the first the labor
board has made in favor of excusing
an employer from rehiring employees
found to have been Disseminated
against because Of union activity The
finding, in the form of a proposed
board order, was not final and the
various parties were given 20 days in
which to file exceptions and ask oral
arguments. The board will then
make a final decision.

Company, Edwin S. Smith dissented,
contending the discharged workers
should be reinstated with back pay.
The board said that the Puerto Rico
line had discharged ten members of
the A. F. Of LIS Commercial Teleg-

two others, and that the Cuba Mai

members because Of threatened or ac.

Cambridge, Ohio.-The July holi-

should be active ones. Despite a
heavy downpour of rain the first
meeting Of July was we'll attended.
The delegates who just returned from
Atlantic City gave US an interesting
and complete report Of the proceed
ings.
Optimistic views were prevalent
regarding the immediate future of
the pottery industry because of less
ened foreign competition. Mike Flynn
of the Protective Conference seems to
have an eye for bad weather effect
ing the American worker after the
second World War is over and the ma

three. There seems little historical
reason to expect the present conflict
to be the last-particularly if Uncle
Sam pays all the bills. l wonder if
the war experts are overlooking what
appears to be a splendid chance for
Britain to invade Hitler territory as
it is?

Official notice was received July 9
from Secretary Harold Pierson of the
New Jersey State Building and Con-

First Vice President E. L. Wheatley
that the five sanitary locals in New
Jersey, now affiliated with their re-
spective City Building Trades Coun-
ellis, have been duly admitted as a
unit into the New Jersey State Build
ing and Construction Trades Council.
The Executive Board Of the N. B. of

ress and it's appreciation will be sent
to the Executive Board of the New
Jersey council for the cooperation and
assistance given in making this affil-
iation possible.
The membership employed in the
sanitary potteries has been greatly
interested in seeking membership in
the Building Trades Council and now
that it has actually been accomplish
ed, all feel that greater progress can
be made to the benefit of everyone
concerned in that branch Of the trade
First Vice-President Wheatley will
act as the representative and dele
gate Of the potters' unit to the coun-
Gil meetings and convention.
National officials have always be-
lieved that at least 60 per cent of all
manufactured goods in this country
is handled or installed by some mem:
ber of the Building Trades Union. II
such an estimate is correct, it is rea.
sonable to assume that with the
strength of the Building Trades Union
being accorded in coordination with
other International Unions not now
affiliated with the Building Trades
Council that at least 60 per cent OF
the total industry of the country
could be organized by following out a
program, if necessary, of no mechanic
handling or installing products that
were not made or produced under
union conditions.
The National Brotherhood Of OPP.

endorsed the Boards suggestion that
sanitary and porcelain locals seek ad-
mittance into Building Trades Coun-
ellis in their respective cities and
states. The national officials agair

Trades organization functions, it car
