PLANT TO
REHlRE FORMER WORK ERS

New York City ULNS).-Plans for
rehiring workers in the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany's plant at Mansfield, Ohio, in a
defense work program which will be
in full swing next May have been an
nounced by B. W. Clark, Westing-
house vice president. Government de
tense contracts at the plant eventual
ly will provide jobs for 900 workers
who had been laid off in recent months
because of curtailed production of
civilian goods.
"Our effort since last spring." Clark
said, "has been to solicit defense or
ders on a basis that would enable the
workers released by curtalment of
regular products to be absorbed in de
Tense work without loss Of time. This
goal has not been reached in the
Mansfield plant, but excellent progress
has been made"

Bon On Right To
Strike Is Opposed

New York City GLNS).-Urging
prompt action to ''help contribute to
a more rational handling of labor's
civil rights" the American Civil Lib
critics Union has recommended pro-
tests to Congress against any compul-
sion against the right to strike.
In calling upon members and
friends of the union to impress their
views on their Senators and Repre-
sentatives, Roger N. Baldwin, direc-
tor Of the organization, said:
'The Civil Liberties Union of course
holds that strikes are not in the pub
lie interest, and that they should be
minimized by every means possible,
short of governmental coercion. But
we cannot support the contention that
national defense justifes limitations
on civil rights. Our defense program
democracy"
Whatever legislation is adopted
dealing with industrial strife, the
union said, "should be based upon i'm
proving mediation machinery and en-
couraging collective bargaining. Re-
sistance to collective bargaining and
to mediation is responsible for large
part of the present conflict"
The union also stressed its opposi-
tion to restraints upon workers and
employers which would etfectually
prevent them from entering into con-
tracts which they jointly choose.

Lockhurt Retained
For Fifth Term
Stop And Remember The
True Meaning OF
Christmas

Sam Lockhart was elected presi-
dent of Local Union No. 130 for the
fifth term. He wishes to thank the
local organization for their vote of
confidence.
Comments are usually heard after
an election, but from those members
who do not attend the meetings. Re-
member, you have the same privilege
of going to the local meetings and
voicing your opinion in all matters.
Floyd Jividen, shop committee
chairman, gave report of the cases
that have been up within the past six
months. The local commended this
committee for their fine work. There
are several more problems to be
solved and the shop committee will
attempt to clear these by the time Of
the next regular meeting, December
26.
The auditing committee was ap-
pointed to go over the books, namely
Chairman Larcombe, Wilson and
Gregory.
The local wishes to extend it's deep
est sympathy to the families of
Brothers Michaels and Seudak in their
recent bereavements.
Before the year rings out, the
Christmas bells will be ringing, carols
sung and people, as they meet along
the way will be saying Merry
Christmas to all. All of this brings
JOY to our hearts and we rejoice that
we are living in a country where we
are permitted to celebrate the birth
of our Savior. 1t is easy for US to say
Merry Christmas to our friends and
neighbors, but hope with the most of
US it will not just be words, but that
the spirit Of Christmas and all that it
means will dwell in our hearts.
Just to think that in this year of a l
there are millions Of men who do not
have the spirit of good will toward
men. Gods greatest gift to men is
being rejoiced once more and we peo-
pie, in free America should never
cease to be thankful.
1t is with this deep feeling and
gratitude to the officials of the
Brotherhood and all members through
out the trade that Local 1905 mem
bership extends heartiest and sincere
greetings for a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.
You can help by buying Defense
Stamps. O. C. 100.

Material Shortages Cause
New York City LdYoffs

Albany, N. Y. ULNS).-Concern
pations in the New York metropoli-
tan area has been overshadowed by
greater anxiety over prospects of cur
tailed production and layoffs due to
non-delivery of materials or failure to
secure priority ratings, Milton O. 10y
sen, executive director Of the Division
of Placement and Unemployment IN
surance, State Department Of Labor,
says.
According to Loysen, information
available to the Division of Placement
and Unemployment Insurance indi-
Gates that in New York City at least
rs of some 500 firms operating in de-
fense industries have experienced or
expect layoffs. More than 400 work
ers have already lost their jobs and
employers anticipate that $500 more
may be laid off unless the situation
changes.
These figures actually underesti-
mate the situation, said Loysen, mas
much as information was available
only for defense firms employing 50
or more persons. Small concerns en-
gagged in non-defense work were ex-
cluded 1t is difficult to estimate ac-
curately the extent to which employ
ment in this area will be affected by
material shortages because of the pre-
ponderance of small firms in the met
ropolitan region.

Union No. 22377, A. F. of l..
The trial examiner found that by
the contracts with the dominated
union the company had utilized "an
employer labor organization to frus-
trate self-organization and defeat col
iective bargaining by its employees" :"
However, he said, nothing should be
construed as varying the wages, hours
and other substantive features of the
company's relations with the employees
which had been established under the
contracts.
Upon charges filed by the A. F. of

plant March 13. Public hearings were

MlLLMEN END WALKOUT
DUE TO WAR SITUATION

San Diego GLNS).-Acting speedi-
ly after Japan attacked Hawaii, union
officials ordered striking American
Federation of Labor millmen back to
work because Of the war situation.
They announced the wage dispute
would be settled in negotiations.
The walkout had threatened to
hamper defense housing construction
in the strategic San Diego area. More
than 1880 millmen struck on Dec.
against lumber yards represented by
the Lumbermen's Service Bureau for
a 1712-cent pay increase over the
present minimum Of 70 cents an hour.
Soaring living costs justified the
wage demand, union members said.

L. u. l22 WORKING
The Kiln Capacity
Feeler Put Out On Bowling
Tournament In Eust
Liverpool

Cambridge, Ohio.-Events are now
taking place which will affect not only
our everyday life, but may mean the
loss of life for many Of our bench
mates with whom we mingle daily.
Christmas will take on a rather
gloomy aspect because of absentees
among the family circle. However, we
must accept conditions as we find
them and do all in our power to
master the situation.
Our shop, here at Cambridge, still
continues to work the limit of kiln ca
pacity which is insufficient to take the
clap shop output. Sometimes we
wonder if anything is important at a
time like this. However, workers who
labor in industries which are permit
ted to continue in production, still
have some problems to iron out and
the more promptly and effective pro-
vision is agreed upon to meet situa-
tions likely to arise, the more har-
mony and less discontentment will
arise.
Local Union No. 1925 shop COM
mittee has been very busy solving
problems for the decorators and deco
rating kilnmen. Vice President Josh
Chadwick visited with US to straighten
out this affair.
Our bowling team has a plan in
mind. They would like to hold a bowl
ing tournament in East Liverpool. En-
tries to be pottery teams, composed
of potters. Brother Saul Mccoy has
mentioned this matter to some of the
N. B. of O. P. officials and would ap-
preciate the opinion of possible par
ticipants in the columns of the paper.
All contestants required to place entry
fee which would go towards prizes.
Brother Bob Bowman passed out
cigars on the shop. He recently mar
red Miss Taylor. Our best wishes for
a fruitful future.
The shop parking lot will soon re-
quire some regulations, leading to
more orderly parking, or dented
tenders will be the vogue here in
Cambridge.
Prosperity seems to be here again.
This membership wishes to extend
Seasons Greetings to one and all.

Changes Made
In Regulations Of
SeIecfive Service
Lieut.-Col. Goble Announces
MdnY Groups To Be
Reclussified

Lieut.-Col. C. w. Goble, Director of
Selective Service, announced Decem-
ber Is that registrants Of local boards
who have received their orders to re-
port for final type physical examina-
ton may enlist in the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps or Coast Guard, if they
received written release from their
local board. However, he stated that
if they have been sent their order to
report for induction, recruiting off
GERS cannot accept them for enlist
ment. Neither can the boards give the
release"
Regulations previously prevented
registrants from enlisting in the
armed forces, if they had been sent
their order to report for final type
physical examination.
The revised regulations will permit
registrants who would like to get into
the service Immediately an opportuni-
ty to do so, while in some cases it
would take registrants from 80 to 60
days to get into the armed forces
through the selective service system.
The director stated: "That if local
board thought that giving the regis
trant release would interfere with
the completing of official calls they
could not give release to man for
enlistment in the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps or Coast Guard"
Ho o1cn olu;ca1 {ho{ 81 r, ,,f
who had completed their training, and
who were classified in 4-A, would now
be re-classified, and if they were
found to be in Class IA they would
be subject to service.
Previously men who had completed
two and one-half years or more in the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast
Guard, and who had been discharged
were considered as men who had COM
pleted their training, and were not
subject to service during peace time
The director emphasizes, however,
in the reclassifying process, regis
trants should have all procedural
rights of classification including no.
tice to registrants from local boards
that they are reopening their case
and shall give the registrant the right
to present any evidence that will af-
feet his classification.
Registrants who have been in Class
"A, who are not sure of their status,
should contact their local boards.
State Director Goble announced
that there were 1881 registrants in
Ohio in A
State Headquarters announced that
they had received information from
National Headquarters in Washing
ton, that the War Department has is
sued orders that release of officers
and enlisted men from all components
of the Army, from active service, are
suspended except for incompetency
and physical disability.
1t is pointed out by officers at State
Headquarters that this would affect a
large number of cases that are now in
the process of investigation, wherein
the soldier requested discharge, or
transfer to the enlisted reserve on the
basis Of dependency and necessary
man in industry.
Since Selective Service System has
no authority over discharge or trans
fer Of men in the Army, any ques-
tions concerning proposed discharge
should be taken up with the Adjutant
General of this Army, and not with
the Selective Service System
