fur industry faces Il gradual suspen

Speaking at the first national con

organized, Mr.. Harper stunned dele

industry "will bleed tO death rs its

He told reporters later that he ad-
dressed the fur convention as a sound

cosmetics specifically, but said the
number could be expanded to include
many other 'nOn-eSSentiar' lines from
which hundreds of thousands of men
would be withdrawn in 1943.

months, Chairman Paul V. McNutt, of
the War Manpower Commission, an
nOunced.
He said the Federal Committee on
Apprenticeship, Il management labor
committee which has been advising
the Federal government on apprentice
ship matters for eight years, had ap-
proved sos apprenticeship programs

Commission show 1914 approved pro
grams now in effect as against 1,O6G

OF the total in effect, 1856 are pro-
grams to meet the specific training
requirements of individual establish

programs, covering the training of
apprentices in Il recognized craft with

The greatest single advance reported
for one industry was for machinery

Serious Problems

Better Attendance At Your
Meetings Only Sure Way
To Remedy Situation

Salem. Ohio.-The results that can
be attained when the members carry
their complaints TO their local union
meeting was very evident at our last
meeting.
In times like we are facing today
the pottery industry, like all other
industries, is finding the labor short
age, their chief problem. Likewise they
are turning to the hiring of female
help to relieve the situation.
We are not opposed to the hiring OF
female help on jobs when male help
is not available, but we do insist that
in so doing the firm live up to our
agreement and 90 about it in the right
way.
The apprentice question again was
up for discussion. with many new
angles being brought to light 1t seems
that whenever vacancy occurs on
the shop, the first thing the firm does
Is demand an apprentice be put on
Immediately. We have laws governing
this situation and once again we re-
peat, it is the duty of the firm to live
up to them.
\ letter was received from Mr.. Nc
kee regarding this situation and
pending an answer from National
Headquarters no action was taken.
The following Brothers and Sisters
are requested to get in touch with the

Day Services Are Held
At Steubenville Pottery

The program commemorating Armis-

the members of the decorating shop
at the Steubenville Pottery.
Mr.. Joseph Durbin, manager of the
shop, acted as master OF ceremonies,
and in that capacity he is certainly to
be commended. There was Il three
minute silence followed by a short
but interesting talk, then a prayer
was given by Mr.. Durbin thanking
God for his goodness to us and beg
ging Him for n speedy end to this wal
and a safe return for our boys. This
was followed by the singing of the
National Anthem.
The Steubenville Pottery now has
sixteen employees in the service, and
more will be called SoOn.-O.C. 20.

His Office reported that by the end
of the year the turnover of employees
in the United States Employment Serv-
ice will have reached the eXtraOrdi-

Mr.. McNutt repeated earlier state

McNutt said this figure has risen to

Without control or planning, accord
ing to Mr.. McNutt. the manpower
drains of the armed forces and indus
try since May would have resulted in
drastic curtailment of war production
and heavy losses of agricultural crops.

West Virginia To
Continue FightFor
Fldg-Sdlute Law
Appeal To Highest Court In
Land Following Federal
Court Decision

Charleston, w. Va. ULNS). - The
state of West Virginia has decided to
appeal to the L. S. Supreme Court the
recent decision of Il three judge Fed
eral district court vOiding the state ;
compulsory flag salute law for chill
dren having conscientious scrupleS.
The Supreme Court will therefore
be faced with reconSidering its deci-
sion in the GobitiS case upholding the
ag-Salute S to !. since the lower
courts action was based on a refusal
to follow that decision. OF the seven
judges now members of the Supreme
Court who participated in that deci-
sion, three have since reversed their
stand. Including Chief Justice Stone
who diSsented in the Gobitis decision,
four of the eight judges now sitting
are on record in opposition to the com
pulsory flag salute.
The West Virginia court had de-
clared that "the salute of the flag is
an expression of the homage of the
soul. To force it on one who has con-
scientious scruples against giving it is
petty tyrany unworthy of the spirit
