Lobor's Progress
By DR.. CHARLES STELZLE

There are millions of workers in
the United States whose social and
economic conditions are deplorable,
but despite this fact, workers of all
classes are making steady progress
like the irresistible sweep Of mighty
river. Eddies have been formed, and
the pessimists, seeing only the eddy,
point to it as an indication that there
is only backward movement, indif-
ferent to the fact that the full flow
Of the stream just beyond reveals true
progress.
They have forgotten or they choose
to ignore the fact that only a few
centuries ago half the world, no mat
ter what their race or color, lived in
slavery, that human life was counted
so cheap and human dignity of so lit
tie consequence that men and women
were tortured and killed for sport
Speak to them of the progress made
by working people, and they will fling
into your face the bitter argument of
those who are unmindful of the day
when labor was considered degrading
and dishonorable-wh the philoso-
piers declared that a purchased Ia
borer is better than a hired one; when
workingmen lived in small, dingy,
foul-smelling rooms; when they slept
in cellars or over open drains; when
men worked sixteen hours a day the
year round, without being paid for
the ''over-time."
They have forgotten or they ignore
the time when manufacturers were
actually paid to rid parish of pauper
children, who then became white
slaves when it was crime to in
crease the workingman's wages above
a certain amount; when the working
man could be put into jail for owing
a storekeeper ten cents; when the me-
chanic received only fifty cents for a
days work.
The condition of the skilled work.
ingmen Of our country today is su-
perior to that of many Of the royalty
Of few centuries ago. The increase
in wages and the miracles being per-
formed with increased incomes, the
shortening of hours of work, the null
tiplication of comforts, the new edu-
cational advantages, the right to or
ganize, the superior position Of the
workers-all these have made thinking
workingmen progressive human be-
ings.
Many of these advantages have
been obtained only in our own gen.
Grafton. As we look back upon the
past we should take courage and re-
joice But as we see the plans of for
eign dictators to drive US back into
the slavery from which we have
emerged after a long struggle for
freedom, we will stand by our gov
ernment in its determination to save
America-the land Of the free-from
the dominance of the dictators who
have already conquered many of the
democracies in Europe, and who look
upon America with jealous eyes and
with unfeigned covetousness.

Unions Back Drive
For Aid To British
Duffy Is On Committee To
Help British Labor Win
The War

New York, N. with the bulk of
A. F. Of l.. national and international
unions already sponsoring the newly
formed American Labor Committee to
Aid British Labor, Matthew Woll,
vice-president of the A. F. of L. and
Chairman of the Committee, appealed
to the 800 central labor bodies
throughout the country, affiliated with
the A. F. of L., to give "full support"
to it's campaign.
William Green, president of the A..
F. of L., gave his approval of the new
committee and consented to serve as
it's honorary chairman. President
James M. Duffy of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters was
one of the first to accept a position
on the committee.
''In extending material aid to the
victims Of axis horror raids" Mr.. Woll
said in his appeal to the central labor
bodies, eve feel that British Labor
will understand the measure of our
sympathy, and gain in morale by the
knowledge that the workers of Am
erica stand behind them in their un-
flinching struggle"
The new committee was initiated by
the League for Human Rights, Free
dom and Democracy, in response to
the eloquent appeal made by Sir Wal
ter Citrine, General Secretary of the
British Trades Union Confress, at
the recent convention of the A. F.. of
L. and subsequently at luncheon in
New York, rendered him by the
League, attended by some two hun
dred labor leaders of the metropolitan
area.
The committee was welcomed by
Winston Churchill, British Prime Min
ister, through the British Embassy at
Washington, with the statement "No
assurances of relief and other aid are
more gratefully received than those
from a League dedicated to the pres
ervation of life and liberties of those
who labor"
The League and the new American
Labor Committee to Aid British La
Dor are both headed by Mr.. Woll and
will cooperate in various ways to save
overhead expenses for the committee.

Supreme Court Bdrs
Ford Company Appeal

Washington, d. C.-The Supreme
Court refused to review a National
Labor Relations Board order requir-
ing the Ford Motor Company to cease
interference with the collective bar
gaining right Of the company's en-
ployes and to reinstate with pay %
employees who were dismissed at River
Rouge in 1887 during drive of the
CIO auto workers to unionize the
plant.
The Supreme Court action leaves
in effect the boards order which pre-
viously had been upheld by the Sixth
Circuit Court Of Appeals requiring
the reinstatement Of the employees.
The Appeals Court held, however,
that the company was within its
rights in distributing among its en-
ployes circulars disparaging the
union.
In statement issued in Miami,
Florida, William Green, president Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
predicted the Supreme Courts decis-
ion on the Ford Motor Company la
Dor case would speed organization of
the workers at Ford's River Rouge
plant in an 4. F. Of L. union. Even
though the case involved an order
for Ford to reinstate CIO workers,
Mr.. Green said: "This won't keep US
from organizing the River Rogue
plant. In fact, it will strengthen our
campaign, because it shows clearly
the right of the men to organize and
will encourage them to join.
81 interpret the decision as sus-
tanning the National Labor Relations
Board. 1t is entirely in accord with
the spirit and letter of the act"

lndustriol Democracy Is
Mechanized By Union Label

Washington, d. C.-The union la
bel as the symbol of democracy in in
dustry and one of the main supports
Of the American Federation of Labor
in establishing and maintaining high
er wages, shorter hours and better
working conditions was emphasized
by |. NJ. Ornburn, secretary treasurer
Of the Union Label Trades Depart
ment of the A. F. Of L., in a radio
address delivered over the nationwide
network Of the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.
In explaining the set-up and i'm
portance Of the union label, Mr.. Orn-
burn said:
"a union label is a cloth or paper
label, stamp or other imprint placed
upon merchandise to indicate that
they are made in shops, factories or
other industrial establishments that
have collective bargaining agreements
with American Federation of Labor
unions.
"To illustrate the extent to which
union labels are used, let me cite that
the Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers' international Union issue three
and onc-half billion union labels an
nually. If placed end to end, they
would encircle the world one and one
half times each year.
"The union label gives assurance
that products are not made in sweat
shops or prisons by underpaid men
and women workers. 1t is a guaran-
tee that the goods arc made in Amer
lea by labor unionists who receive de
cent wages, work reasonable hours
and under good conditions. The union
label is the trademark of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor"

New York Drivers
Will Bur Strikes

New York City 0LNS).-Strikes
and lockouts in the local and long
distance trucking industry are pro-
hibited by an arbitration agreement
accepted by representatives Of three
employer associations and three loca Is
Of the International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters.
The union and employer groups
agreed by unanimous vote on the
naming Of Hugh L. Sheridan, an en-
ployer, as impartial chairman under
the agreement. Sheridan, former
president Of the Merchant Truckmen's
Bureau, will pass on all disputes that
the unions and the operators cannot
settle through direct negotiations. His
decision will be binding on all parties.
Sheridan's selection was ascribed to
his background as a truck driver
holding union card, an employer of
union drivers, head of the largest op-
orators association and undisputed,
though unofficial, arbitrator of con-
troversies arising in the industry.
Nearly 15,0C0 drivers on local and
over-the-road trucks are covered by
the wage scale contract, which the
arbitration agreement is designed to
supplement. Although the unions are
forbidden to call a strike on their
own account against any Of the sigma
tories to the agreement, they will
retain the right to refuse to allow
their members to pass through picket
lines established on strike-b bound jobs,
provided they give advance notice to
the impartial chairman that no de-
liveries or pick-ups will be made.

Cambridge Pottery

Brothers Hamilton and Smith were
again the outstanding players. A re-

and Senators are opposing the Lease
Lend Bill. Most sentiment | have met

The percentage plan, as applied to
the jigger crews, continues to be a
bone of contention on jobs employing
two mold runners. Production con-
tinues at capacity. A tinting machine
is being set up for use in our
plant. 1t is a fact that in an eight
hour day as much, or more ware is
made by clay workers as in the pre-
vious nine-hour day when a set day
was often made in less than eight
hours. We hear Of some potteries so
busy that fifty-four hours per week
are now being worked. Can that be
fiction % C. 122.
