towards any practical ideas which
might be presented by our side.
Our representatives on the commit
tee let Mr.. Mueller know of their ap-
probation of his coming to the confer
ence and asked him to convey to
President Reed their sincere thanks
for his interest in the restoration of
collective bargaining for the industry
as existed prior to 1922.
The temper of membership in sani-
tary is definitely ruffled by reason of
the fact that management in the in
dustry has for years said that, if the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters could induce the Standard San
itary Manufacturing Company to at
tend meeting to discuss collective
bargaining, they would readily partici-
pate in such conference. 1t should
not be difficult to understand why the
workers are so intensely critical of
management generally because they
fail to keep their promise of participa-
ton in the collective bargaining con-
ference, if and when Standard would
agree to be Il party to that manner OF
dealing with the brotherhood. Many
callstic remarks were made because OF
the insincerity of assurances given in
the past by plant executives that they
would appear and their failure to keep
their word.
Despite the disappointment at the
non-attendance of ownership, discus
siOns lasted for two days, resulting in
furtherance of the plan to effectuate
industry wide collective bargaining
with standing committees such as eX
listed prior to the unfortunate 1922 hap
penings. The nOn-attendance of the EN-
ployers aroused the spirit among those
speaking for the Brotherhood towards
perseverance for the ultimate objective
with even greater determination thai
has been shown at any time in th'
past.
Among other approaches to th
problem is that of contracting affiliate
of the American Federation of Labo
$ for their support, with an eXtensiv
education and publicity program as
Il means of completing the drive for on
d aims and purposes.
