Sebring, OIL am very pleased to
announce the Sears Roebuck store in
Alliance has been removed from our
"do not patronize list" Mr. Alden,
the manager has agreed to go along
with US one hundred per cent in pro-
noting the sale of American union

not been bit backward in advertis-
ing it as union-made. He has also
agreed to handle only union made
ware and insists that it bear the la

While we are pleased to cooperate
with a man such as Mr.. Alden, we
believe that outside of the Alliance
store and any other individual store
that shows willingness to cooperate
with the BUY American" movement,
the Sears company should remain in
standing with US as long as they
maintain their present attitude in re-

At L.U. No. 4 Jubilee
Outstanding Program Lined
Up BY Casters Local
For Celebration

The year 1941 will get off to an
auspicious start Friday night, Janu-
ary 3rd, when Local Union No. a
stages it's Golden Anniversary cele-
bration.
Headed by Vice President George
Turner, the committee in charge of
the Jubilee has lined up a program
which will match anything ever Of
fered in the past and be extremely
hard to top in the future.
Thomas Duffy, Columbus attorney,
former President elected 1909 of
the National Brotherhood of Opera
tive Potters, and secretary of the
new organization before that time,
will be the featured speaker. The fact
that Mr.. Duffy figured so prominently
in the early history Of the Brother
hood undoubtedly fits this nationally
known speaker better than any living
individual to give the main address on
this occasion. He will be introduced
by James M. Duffy, present Brother
hood head, under whose leadership
the organization has enjoyed it's great
est growth.
Other highlights Of the program
will be the double quartet from the
East Liverpool Male Chorus, soloists
Wilber Glenn and John Coleman and
the music of Bill Lodges orchestra.
Lunch will be served at the close Of
the program.
The oldest active local in the Broth
erhood is limiting the program to

The new agreement which was ne
gotiated through the eastern office,
provided for increases to every en-
ploye ranging from SC per hour to as
high as 10c and 12c per hour to insure
uniformity in the various depart
ments. During the period Of organi-
zation, the company granted pre-
vious sc per hour increase, making a
total Of at least 1Oc per hour to every
employee on the plant since the first
of November.
Provisions for a weeks vacation
with pay, assurances that draftees
will be returned to their respective
positions upon concluding their SER
vices in the United States Army,
closed shop and other usual agree
ment features were also included.
During the proceedings of the several
conferences, the management indi-
Gated friendly attitude and since the
agreement was signed a relationship
that is very cordial has developed.
The management, in order to cele-
brate the new working relationship,
financed banquet with the committee
of Local l81, their friends and wives
preparing a roast beef supper and ad-
ding suitable entertainment. The cele-
bration was held in St. Michael's hall,

Der 18th.

President Roosevelt tells the ma
tion that again the L. S. is the deter
mining factor whether or not Democ-
racy perishes from the earth. But our
soldiers will not fight on foreign soil
and if Britain loses, our economic
situation will be terrible. Democracy
and capitalistic enterprise are said to
be one and the same thing. And from
1890 up to the present time capital
istic enterprise has been so much un-
certain that both employer and en-
ploye has had the ground kicked from
under them and dangled in midair on
artificial stimulation.
My imagination can conceive no
economic disaster, caused by a Ger
man victory, much worse than the
situation of 1882, with banks closing,
factories down, markets shot. With
panic, suicide and suffering, soup

National Unity and Defense
Demand Protection Of
Social Coins
NO GOING BACK
Democracy Does Not Re-
treat; It Always Marches
Forward

Washington, D. C.-Flat prediction
that the next Congress will not weak
en- or destroy labor safeguards was
made by Senator Robert F. Wagner
of New York in a nation wide radio
broadcast.
Effective national defense requires
high civilian morale and a vigorous
economic system backing up the
armed forces, the Senator said. To
sacrifice social gains would undermine
national unity, he warned
Hitler boasts of strength through
national unity" the Senator explain
ed, "but what he calls unity is
achieved by sacrificing all that makes
liberty sacred and life safe-unity
enforced by the blood purge and the
concentration camp. To defend
against these forces, America mar
shalls the strength of a free society
where unity rests upon the spon-
taneous cooperation of a free people
"a people firm in their democratic
faith, and convinced that human prog
ress and happiness has no bounds in
a land where liberty prevails.
"To those who say that the first
task of the Congress will be to re-
treat from the liberal and humani-
tartan reforms of the past seven
years, the answer must be: Democ-
racy does not retreat; it marches for
wardw
"To discard or weaken these meas
ures would be to weaken ourselves"
the Senator warned. "This step Con-
gress will never take"
"Now, more than ever" Senator
Wagner continued. '.we must pre-
serve those measures that provide de-
cent jobs at fair wages. We cannot
now accept the sweeping proposal to
reduce the number Of jobs by making
the hours of labor of defense workers
longer and longer. This proposal
would defeat its own objective"
The Senator also explained that the
Wage-Hour Act in no way places a
maximum limit on hours worked by
any employe. The only requirement,
he said, is that overtime rates be paid
for all work exceeding eight hours a
day or 40 hours a week. Far from
impeding production, this standard
has caused many industries to put on
extra shifts and employ more men in
stead Of paying overtime, the Senator
pointed out.
The attention of the next Con-
gress also will be drawn to a variety
of proposals to abolish the right to
strike and to impair collective bar
gaining" Senator Wagner added.

members with President James NJ.
Duffy being present to discuss and
clarity many questions which have
been pending. President Duffy's po-
sition in these matters was encourag-
ing and indicate improvements in
working conditions.
We should now have evidence to
show that our officials can only sup
port US according to our willingness
to support ourselves and each other.
1t is evident that if our agreement
was brought up to date many Of our
differences with each other and the
management could be avoided. 1t is
very confusing with clauses remaining

In the order of business was the

Pearl Smith, financial secretary; Har-

Puerto Rico Sugar
Producers Decide
To Sign With AFL
Workers Satisfied With Pdcts
Signed Last Six Years
With Federation

San Juan, Puerto, Rico ILNS).-
Satisfied with the working of agree
ments made for the last six years, the
Sugar Producers Association will ne
gotiate a new wage agreement for the
194l crop with the Free Federation
of Labor, American Federation of
Labor affiliate.
Decision to make an agreement was
based on the fact that the Free Fed
Grafton of Labor represents the high
est proportion of field and factory
workers and on the satisfactory oper-
alton of past contractural relations.
AS the employers made known their
decision, two newly organized rivals
of the Free Federation tried to OBJ
tain recognition as representatives OF
the workers The two are ClO at
filiate and the Puerto Rican FEEDER
alton of Laborers, just organized by
Resident Commissioner Bolivar Pa
gan, successor to his father-ln-law,
the late Santiago Iglesias, as Resi-
dent Commissioner from Puerto Rico
at Washington.
Iglesias, veteran labor leader, first
organized the laborers, then obtained
A. F. of L. affliation for them. Pa
gan's organization has taken for its
name that dropped by Iglesias when
he won A. F. of L. support.
Observers say Pagan's organization
is more political than labor and fore
cast failure for it as a labor body.
The convention which formed it re-
ferred to a committee a resolution
endorsing President William Green Of
the A. F. of L. as inadvisable for
the present.

By N. B. of O. p. Delegates to the

The American Federation of Labor
will continue to give all assistance
possible in the execution of the natl
onal defense program, the sxtieth
annual convention told the people of
the United States-and undoubtedly
the word got through to Adolf Hitler
and other interested foreign parties.
William Green, president of the
Federation, made clear the position of
the A. F.. of l.. in his opening address
to the convention.
eve are in accord with the defense
program" he declared. We believe
in it. We want America to be kept
free 1t is our determination and pur-
pose to carry on and to give to our
government all assistance possible in
the execution of its defense plans and
policies"
But the convention emphasized that
organized labor, while cooperating
wholeheartedly in the defense pro-
gram, would insist that none of la
boris achievements be set aside and
none Of labor's standards be lowered
during the emergency.
The convention recorded it's hope
that Great Britain will win her che
roic battle" against the totaitarian
nations and endorsed the policy of ex-
tension to Britain of all aid "short of
war itself"
Sir Walter Citrine in a mastery
address, appealed for planes, planes
and more planes" and Presiden.
Green responded by saying that the
American Federation of Labor will do
it's part so that "a steady stream Of
war materials" flows across the At
lantic to the British.
On the other hand, unalterable op-
position was expressed to the partici-
patton of American armed forces in
the European cona:-s-
owe will not consent to the trans
portation of our young men abroad"
President Green said. "But we do not
believe our nation will become in
volved. We have faith in Congress.
We have faith in the President of the
United States.
He solemnly assured US that Amer
ican boys would not be sent abroad
to engage in European conflict. We
believe him. And we know Congress
can be relied upon to guard and pro-
tect u.s."
But, said President Green, the
wage-earners Of the United States
will not hold back if the defense of
"our own homeland" is involved. In
that event, he said, "we will fight"
In an outstanding address of the
conventions first week Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson announced
that "the practice and procedure of
collective bargaining through freely
chosen and independent unions will
not be sacrificed" during the emer-
gency.
