Quoted into the army, the regular meet
ing of Local Union No. 96 was post
pOned.
The party was held at Tommy S
Tavern and practically every member
of the local was present Brother Nels
Z. Hansen was the main speaker of
the evening and praised the boys who
are leaving to join the army. He stated
the forces that are lined up against
the United States are the very ones
that do not favor organized labor. He
warned the brothers that this fight
is one that the union man must and
will do their utmost to win.
He concluded his talk with United
We Stand, Divided We Fall"
Brother Andy has been sincere
worker in our local and there is little
doubt that any one possessing the true
union spirit as he did, could help but
make a fine soldier He held the office
of guard in the local and has served
on the entertainment committee for
two years.
Corporal Paul JankOvich, a former
member of 80 who was inducted into
the army year ago was present ut
the party. BY the looks of Paul, one
can readily see that the boys in the
service are getting what it takes to
make the toughest soldiers that Uncle
Sam has ever turned out.
Pictures were taken by Brother John
Drotar who, by the way expects to be
called into the service in another
month.

Bring Your Problems To
Your Local Union
Meeting
DOOR PRIZE GROWING
Army Day Parade Forces
Postponement OF Last
Meeting

From time to time, and from various
sources one hears complaining about
working conditions, discrimination, etc
that is going ON in Il particular de-
partment, and then to top things off
the complainant will cloud up and rain
all over the Union, and ask you what
kind of an organization we have here
that let's such and such a thing go on.
In tracking down such complaints
one usually finds that the person
rarely, if ever, attends Union meetings,
and has very little notion of what the
Union does and could mean to him if
he We're as faithful to the Union as it
is to him. Here we have Il person who
is ready at the drop of the hat to
criticize the Union, yet he makes no
contribution to it's improvement, nor
does he make any effort to find out
just what the Union is already doing
for him. This kind of person is like
the proverbial dog that bites the hand
that is feeding him."
Your Union was organized for your
benefit. If you are not getting out Of
it what you think you shOuld--if it is
not giving you the protection you think
you should have, don't complain about
the Union to the man who works be-
side you, and don't go home and give
your wife a sermon on what the Union
ought to be. Remember, you are a part
of that organization, and it will be
exactly the kind of organization that
you and fellow members make it. II
you want your Union to do things for
you, you must help build it into the
kind of organization that you know can
do these things. Don't load your re-
spOnsibility as a member on to the
shoulders of the few loyal workers who
come out regularly, and then criticize
the Union.
Bring your problems to the meetings
where they can get a good airing, and
where something can be done about
them. It's mp to you as an individual
member to help ferret out the troubles
and bring them before the Union. Just
remember a few of these things the
next time you criticize the Union for
something that you yourself are re-
spOnsible.
Because of the Army Day parade
last Tuesday evening, the Local meet
ing was postponed. We want to re-

dollars. Better come out next meeting.

Potters Willing To Sacrifice
Everything For About
War Effort

Trenton, ~ J.-With the third floor
being renovated the members of l.. l..
A. met in the lower hall for our last
meeting with Vice President Charles
Zfmmers entertaining those present
before and after the meeting with Sc
lectiOnS from the .Juke Box.
A letter from headquarters was read
showing brother who failed to re-
ceive any insurance benefits because
he only paid half of his assessments
Over period of three years he saved
$4,000 and his widow loses $195M.
We are sorry to hear of such cases
when brought to our attention, but as
we have SO many times warned, there
is nothing that the local can do.
Some brothers are willing to jeOpar-
die their health, either by making
more than Il reasonable days work. or
by trying to see how fast they can
do it. Some want to break all the
rules that do not suit them and at
the same time expect the organization
to get better wages and working con-
ditiOns for them.
A present day slogan is America
Wake Up and we feel that workingmen
need to wake up, or one of these days
they will find that all the advances
they have made in recent years will
be lost and the boys on the battle front
are going to come back and find that
we couldn't hold the home front
Our days work is not finished when
we leave the shop. Our country needs
every act and thought we can give it
and that includes upholding the stan
dard of living.
We are willing to sacrifice every
thing to the war effort if necessary,
but the necessity must be clearly
proven and those who want us to make
these sacrifices must lead the way, not
try to force us for the profit of those
who are on top, or who would take
advantage of the war to get there as
some did i'm the last war.
We were asked last week If we
would fOregO our vacations this year
if necessary and accept an extra
weeks pay instead, especially the
younger men, which we believe the
majOrity accepted. The local feels this
should have been discussed through the
conference or Shop Committees before
going to the men individually. There

Support Your
Paper Is Plea

Recent Editorials Bring
Favorable Comments
From Sanitary Men

The timely editorials which appea red
in the last two issues of the Potters
Herald came in for quite bit of fav-
orable comment at our last meeting.
Members of the National Brotherhood
of Operative POtters are proud Of their
paper and the part it is playing in this
national emergency by exposing the
attitude taken by our local newspapers
in denolncing Labor and all its prin-
ciples.
How long are we going to allow such
practices to continue without raising
a hand. Is ii not the working class that
supports your local paper? How long
will merchants. who depend on the
workingman continue to advertise in
their papers. if members of organized
labor refuse to subscribe to papers that
continually publish false stories about
you?
Some members are loud in their
praise of our officers for the good
work they are doing, while others, who
no matter what YOU do for them, can
find fault. The shop committee quite
often comes in for lot of abuse when
performing their duties and the Occa-
sion is very rare when you hear Of
them receiving credit for improving
conditions This Is Il thank you job and
the least we can do is to stop our
growing and abide by their decisions.
We hear the wages paid the girls in
Il certain generalware shop here are
very low. These girls should realize
they would not be receiving this wage.
If it We're not for the other shops
around here being organized. This con-
dition also exists in the sanitary trade
Where would we be without the n. Il.
of O. p? Think this over brothers
and sisters.
The turnout of the pOtterS in the
Army Day parade was very poor. /
am afraid if it depended on the New
Castle pOtterS to win the war it would
be too bad l hope when it comes to
buying Defense Bonds they show more
loyalty. O. c. 1873.

New York Mayor Urges

pal station, Mayor La Guardia said
that the Building and Construction
Trades Council of Greater New York
has informed him $3.50 men of skilled
trades We're out of employment here.
He added that he believed 5000 of
these could do useful, skilled work
in shipyards and that he intended Ia
take the matter up with Navy officials
in charge of ship construction in this
area. Only $500 would require special
training, he said.
"These men are skilled in the build
ing trades, they work with their hands,
they have done precision work and
they could adapt themselves to the
very useful employment of turning out
more ships, and faster" the Mayor
said.

Preparing for Banner

There will be a record breaking
timber cut in Southeast Alaska
during 1912, it was predicted today
by Charles Burdick, assistant re-
gional forester of the Forest Serv-
ice, who returned here last night
from Ketchikan, where he con-
ferred with logging and mill OPP
orators.
Some Of the logging companies
have continued operations through
the winter and others will begin
falling trees in February, Burdick
stated Preparations for the biggest
timber cut in the history of the
Territory are being rushed to COM
pletion, he said.
Because of the demand for all
types of lumber for defense work,
and especially because Alaska caa
furnish much high-grade airplane
spruce, mill operators are being
flooded with orders, the forester
reported.
