With fine crowd in attendance.
Local Union 124 met for its second
meeting in October. Maybe it is the cool
weather, along with the important
questions under discussion that is re-
spOnsible for the interest in our meet
ings lately but regardless the recent
turnOuts have been very gratifying to
our officers
The decal girls are to be commended
for the large delegation each shop
sends as representation. If all our
trades were on their toes as these girls,
there would be less friction among our
members.
We were pleased to have Firemen
Anderson and Cunningham from the
local fire department with us. They
spoke on the splendid fire equipment
and capable force in charge Of fighting
fires and keeping down the rate Of fire
insurance in our city. They brought
forth the fact that the levy which
comes up for vote next month should
be passed. or there may be pOssibil-
ity of our fire force being cut down
and also the rate of fire insurance
would automatically raise They urged
all present to support the levy for the
good of our homes and our city as a
whole
1t is gratifying indeed to read in an
open letter from one of our Local
Unions that they also are concerned
with the attitude of our local mer-
chants, in regards to advertising in the

we can make our city union conscious
and make our merchants realize the
trade they receive from the potters is
we'll worth catering to.

Toronto, Ont. - Delegates to the
American Federation of Labor cOnven-
ton unanimously adopted a resolution
charging that the broadcasting indus
try, the antitrust division of the De

"ganged up" on the American Fedora
ton of Musicians "and launched one
of the most vicious campaigns in labor
history in order to prevent a just and
equitable solution" of the problem of
the use of live musicians" for making
records and electrical transcriptions.
A ban against the making of cleo
tive by the musicians union on Aug. l,
and as result James G. PetrillO, presi-
dent, and the union were indicted I'M
der the antitrust laws.
The resolution enlarged on the spe-
cial report made by the executive
council on Tuesday and went much
further in characterzing the efforts of
Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney
general, who initiated the antitrust
action.
Earlier in the day William Green,
president, rejected the suggestion of
Jack Tanner, fraternal delegate from
the British Trade Union Congress, for
an immediate second front.
While praising the valor of the
Russian army and common people, Mr..
Green, In effect, also swept aside Mr..
Tanners plea for united labor action
by all the trade union movements of
Britain, the United States, Canada,
Soviet Russia, South America and the
other United Nations.
The A. F.. of L. previously had re-
fused to join in proposed Anglo
American-Soviet trade union committee
and Mr.. Green declared that the A.

tarianism preached by any other die
tator," aside from Hitler and Musso-
lini.
Later Mr.. Tanner explained to the
delegates that while he knew he had

denounced at Mondays session of the

Prior to adoption of resolution
which held Labor Board decisions to be
opposed to trade union autonomy, dele
gates asserted that the board was
'sabotaging' the national shipbuilding
program by entertaining complaints
against conditions surrounding certain
AFL contracts with Mr. Kaiser.
Renewing earlier attacks upon Thur
man Arnold, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral, the convention adopted a resolu-
ton recommending that Attorney Gen
eral Biddle be requested to ascertain
by investigation whether Mr. Arnold
had exploited the prestige of his public
office for his own material and finan-
cial gain
Action against Mr.. Arnold was taken
at the instance of the resolutions COM
mittee, which brought in a report on
Labor and the antitrust drive" which
supplemented the executive councils

The complete report reviewed the
charges against Mr. Arnold, including
the allegation that he had conducted an
anti-labOr campaign and summed up as
follows:

Mr.. Green courteously but deciSively
