MeanY Stresses Ldbor's Patriotism
In Making Defense Mediation Work

the record, a measure of responsible
ity unequaled in this country's indus
trial history. Since the National De-
fense Mediation Board was estab-
lished, there have been more sweep
ing changes in wages and conditions
with less time lost through industrial
disputes than ever before in our ma
TONS history.
"This in itself is real tribute to
the patriotism of the officers and
members of the American Federation
of Labor.
"The work of the National Defense
Mediation Board is healthy and en-
couraging demonstration of the value
of democratic cooperation among
labor, management and government
in the interests of the national well
fare. By and large, labor and indus
try alike have accepted the recon-
mendations of the Mediation Board
because obviously the recommends
tions have been practical in them
selves.

rest of the skilled and semi-skilled
branches, 10 per cent and laborers,
five per cent. There are to be some
adjustments made for the kilnplacers.
This agreement was brought about
after several conferences with the
company. We are very pleased that
our employer has always been will

asked to do so. This we appreciate
very much.
The company has installed several

Develop Harmony
By New Agreement
For Locul Union 1873
Women's Union Label Holds
Convention At Cdstleton
In New Castle

New Castle, Pa.-Members of Local
Union No. 1873 have been reading
some interesting news in the Potters
Herald. They were certainly pleased
with the views from Robinson and
hope to hear more from the boys out
there who seem to realize that our
only hope is to organize the sanitary
industry on a national scale. This
local voted to send them a letter of
encouragement.
The company has granted Local 1873
an agreement that has eliminated
some friction here and developed more
harmony. We feel this will give more
security to both sides. The members
are requested to show their apprecia-
tion by making a great effort to i'm
prove the quality of the ware being
produced and to eliminate all loss Of
ware caused by carelessness.
The delegates to the convention
brought back a good report of the
enthusiasm existing in the organized
sanitary shops as we'll as the favora-
bic cooperation between the workmen
and the management. No doubt,
these officials who have shown a
willingness to iron out the dissatis-
factions and improve the conditions
of their shops have found out that
the employees are just, as anxious to
see their company produce ware Of
fine quality and hold their trade as
the officials. They take pride in do
ing things we'll and strive for security
and stability in having steady en-
ployment and better shop conditions
to protect their health. Can any
right thinking manufacturer do
otherwise but appreciate and value
employees who strive for these
things? Sincere, honest expressions
Of what is right will gain a hearing
and bear fruitful results.
The members of this local also re-
alize the need of intelligence on the
part of the officials. Without ability
and a willingness on their part, to
look after the interest of the COM
pany, our jobs would not last long.
We know our officials are subject to
respond to a call to the plant any
time during the night and there is no
40-hour limit to their weeks work.
They carry the load many times for
others failure or neglect.
The hopes existing in the minds
of members of Local 1873 are perhaps
far reaching in getting all the heads
of sanitary potteries to come to a
better understanding with their en-
ployes and to realize the sanitary
pottery business, which does not have
foreign competitors, can be made
secure by a little more cooperation.
This local has elected new set of
officers and it is a pleasure to the
older officers to see the interest and
ability they are showing in their
duties. President Huston seems to

People To Work In
Slavery

Washington, D. C. ILNSl.-A
practical, legal and effective program
for waging economic warfare against
Nazi and other countries where eco
nomic liberty no longer prevails has
been undertaken at the instigation OF
the Committee Against Slavery of the
National Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor, it is announced by Will
liam S. Bennet, president Of the COM
mittee.
The committee believes its program.
raises moral issue behind which the
free peoples of the world can be
united.
The programs aspects Of economic
warfare are not limited by any war
emergency, for the program is based
upon law passed by Congress in
1880 which can be enforced in a post
war period. The law is now being
invoked for the first time since its
passage.
Status of Slavery Charged
Complaint has been filed with the
Commissioner of Customs under sec
tion 307 of the Tariff Law of 1880
against entry into the United States
of any German goods on the ground
that the German people are working
under a status of slavery, status
that the Nazis have declared they in
tend to extend to conquered coun-
tries.

Stare Labor Board
Fails TO Recognize
CIO Drivers Union
Minneapolis Radicdl Union
Bosses Meet With
Setback

Minneapolis GLNS).-The Dunno
brothers, Miles and Vincent, radical
bosses of a big CIO truck drivers
union here, have met with a smashing
setback
The State Labor Board has denied
certificaton of the union as bargain
ing agent for SEQ truck drivers and
inside workers employed by ID Min
neapolis furniture stores. The ruling
is seen as shaking the grip of the
aimnne brothers on the General Driv-
y rs Union, which they took out of the
international Brotherhood Of Team
sters, A. F. of l.. affiliate, on June 8,
to enter the CIO. Six thousand men,
bers followed the DUNES.
The DUNES were already in hot
water, as they were indicted with 26
others by a Federal grand jury on
July Is on charges of seditious con-
spiracy. A majority of those named
were members of the union. All of
the defendants are officers or men,
bers of the Socialist Workers party,
the Trotsky wing of the Communist
movement. They were accused OF
having advocated insubordination and
the overthrow of the Federal govern
ment by armed revolt. The indict-
y lents followed a raid by Fedora.
Q s.gents on the Minneapolis and st.
Paul headquarters Of the organiza-
ton.
Soon after the Dunno brothers took
the drivers out Of the A. F. Of L.,
those employed by the furniture
stores were ordered to strike, and the
strike was called two days after the
General Drivers Union entered the
CIO. The men were out three days
and returned to work when the CIO
asked an election. The furniture deal
ers refused to bargain with them on
the ground that they did not know
who represented their employees.
