petition That Exists

New Castle, Pa.-The abnormal situa-
ton that exists in the sanitary trade
today seems to be puzzle to good
many potters here in Tew Castle.
All government orders. are rush or
ders and the. casters Are not on any
one piece of ware any length of time,
except on the washdown Jobs. How
long these orders will hold out keeps
us all guessing. for a number of the
boys have other jobs in sight at better
pay but do not like the idea of leav-
ing good old New Castle the town of
many trees and churches.
Latest report is six of the boys
will leave lis soon. We hope the future
is brighter in their next job.
There is little hope that sanitary will
improve during this war period when
all prices seem to be stabilized, and if
the set price goes in any direction, 1t
will be down. We still have the cOmpeti-
tion of unorganized shops to contend
with. We hear sanitary ware has been
sold on housing project in the East
by Western shop at less than cost
of production.
No doubt the sanitary manufacturers
realize by now, there is only one hope
for the trade and that is the Organiza-
ton of the sanitary workers.
There seems TO be a desire existing
in the minds of the leaders of all or
ganiZed ShODS that their WOrkmen
should receive good wages which will
enable them to live in decent surround
ings, homes with modern appliances.
Union organization is the only hope
we have. 1t is pleasure to hear some
of the officials of these firms who are
in favor of such move. Officials do
not get high wages in any industry
where the workers are working for
starvation wages.-O.C. 133

Local Union "A is cooperating with

various Locals will benefit by this
move.
Labor unions in Sebring take very
active part in local civic affairs, but
we are sorry to say there have been
times in the past, when Labor has been
forgotten when it came to appointing
the personnel of various committees.
We hope this condition will not be re-
peated in the future.

enthusiasm that is displayed at the
meeting of Local Union 1875 is really
something to boast Of With men,

be followed by other Locals through

meetings is exceptionally good and the
lively discussions have been very in

Our Local has been asked to particf-
pate in the Navy Day parade on Tues

worthy cause and the Local was one
hundred per cent in favor of 1t. We

Locals of the Brotherhood. This is one
of the few times Labor has been recog-
nized on any committee for any civic
enterprise in East Liverpool. So let's
show the public that we will cooperate
one hundred per cent, by having every
member of organized labor in East
Liverpool in the line of march.
Our delegates to the convention gave
very interesting report of the con-
