Open Mind Is Urged In
Employment Of Women

Chicago, QLNS).-Employers engag-
ed in war production work were urged
by Chester w. Hepler, United States
Employment Service Director in Illi-
nois, to consider with an open mind
the employment of women.
with our armed forces daily grow
ing in volume, the demand for war
production will continue to grow in
proportion" said Director Hepler.
And the employment of women in
war industries in increasing numbers
is inevitable.
I'm general, women will not add to
the supply of skilled labor, but they
do present large and promising
source of workers for wide variety
of operations"
Curtailment of civilian production
will undoubtedly release numbers of
women with varying degrees of skill
These women, he pointed out, are
available for Training in war work.

Erwin Potters Help

Shop Agreement
Organized Labor Called
Upon When Merchants
Refuse To Sign

Erwin, Tenn.-The recently organ
lied Clerks Union No. 1412 appealed to
members Of organized labor here in
Erwin for assistance in negotiating a
contract with our local merchants.
A committee composed Of the follow
ing brothers: f. l.. Kerr of l.. u. 1O3,
N. b. of o. T., Callie Casey and II. II.
Walker of the Railroad Craftsmen as
sisted the clerks In drawing up a con-
tract which called for a closed shop.
This was presented to the merchants
who flatly refused to sign il. Several
meetings were held and the merchants
finally agreed to go along with the
clerks and sign their contract. prOvid-
ed the closed shop clause was elimi-
mated. T.. l.. Kerr, chairman of the
committee refused to listen to their
request and warned the merchants that
it was closed shop or nothing.
After much discussion the committee
was asked to leave the room for a
few minutes in order that the mer-
chants could reconsider the clause.
Calling the committee back the mer-
chants agreed to the closed shop clause
and the following merchants who are
considered the Big Five were imme-
diately signed up: A. Il. Brown, Huffs
Grocery, Carter Bros. Grocery, Service
Grocery and Unaka Store.
Several stores as yet are not in the
fold but labor men here have made it
known that any who fail to sign with
the Retail Clerks will not have the
patronage of union men in Erwin.

According to interpretations of the
opinion, unions hereafter must bear the

have been paid by the labor board in

AS some of the board cases have
been in the process of hearing, rehear'
ing and appeal for as long as four
years, few of the smaller organizations
could undertake financing of prolonged
litigation and many such complaints
may have to be dropped.
