The Buffalo Pottery, Inc is TO he
commended for taking the first step
along this line to insure the safety of
their employees and we sincerely hope
that other manufacturers in the
Ceramic industry will faIl in line with
them and seek means 10 eliminate
some conditions that have been called
to the attention pf the brotherhood
authorities lately.
Al our last convention in Atlantic
CITY, numerous resolutions were
brought upon the floor, StrcSsing the
deplorablc conditions that have been
allowed to prevail, without any effort
being put forth by the employers to
remedy the situations.
4 letter was sent 10 all Local Unions
requesting that they contact their
members in the different plants and 10
gather all the necessary data in order
that II protest could be made to he IA
dividual firm. This WAS complied with
generally, and in some instances Ger
tain hazards were Immediately climi-
mated. However, there are still some
firms who have made no effort along
this line and brotherhood officials will
insist that if these conditions are al
lowed 10 prevail, state authorities will
be called upon in order 10 safeguard
the health of its members,
No better example of the hnrmiul
effects that results when the necessary
precaution is not taken, comes 10 light
when many members of the pottery in
dustry today, who by the shortage of
manpower have been forced 10 leave
the trade and seek work in defense
plants, only to return because of moi
being able To pass the physical exam
ination required 10 obtain work III
them. Too many times has ii come 10
the attention of the Brotherhood Off
cials their rejection was caused
through siliCOsis.

The following shop committee was
named: William Hayberger, casting
department; Frank Brodidi, ramming
department John Banko, grinding
room; Charles Lane, shipping depart
ment.
1t was voted that the monthly dues
of the local be raised from 80 cents to
80 cents per month. This will swell our
treasury so we will be able to provide
some entertainment and activities to
entice the members to attend the meet
ingS. 1t is also necessary to meet the
rising cost of materials.
Our membership has fallen off since
the war emergency, but it is slowly
coming into it's own with the new
members being added to our roll.
Within the next month we will have
about sixteen new members.
The membership wishes to take this
means of thanking our retiring presi-
dent, Phil Crane, who has don VOL
derful job of directing the affairs of
the local. Many were the times he
took the load on his shoulders when
his fellow members were not satisfied
with the way things were going. But
in the end it all turned out for the
best Thanks Phil, for your untirinS
efforts in directing the affairs of our
local.
TO the retiring committee men,
James Anderson, James Adams, John
Babosky, Ellis Allen and Gibson
Nicllum, you have done a wonderful
job under critical membership. The
members do not realize that most of
your work was done on your own time
after working hours, when they went
home to supper and you had to stay to
attend meetings with the company otli-
cials on some grievance. Many were
the times the meetings lasted two
hours or more and this time was all
put on the cuff.
TO the new committee, we wish you
Il very successful campaign in what
ever task confronts you.-O.C. 161.

may be granted.
Minor changes were made in Il num-
ber of instances in the matter of con-
ditiOns, work regulations and Il mini
mum ofspay increases. The general in
crease proposal, time and one-half for
kiln work and vacations with pay
proposals were set aside pending Sc
curing information from the Price Adj
ministrati0n as TO the possibility of ii
price increase to enable the employers
to pay these increases.
President Duffy requested the aid Of
the manufacturers in presenting our
case to the War Labor Board for their
ruling, and Of the effect il would have
on that body by both sides going to-
gether.
Chairman Wells, in answering the
request of President Duffy, contended
that IN order to keep all plants going
and TO cRable our employees to receive
fair days wage, it is necessary that
we in order to continue to operate and
keep our Old time employees working,
and where conditions are such that
women must be employed, we have got
to work these out together on Il fair

Despite the fact that we are opcr-
a,in@ at Il loss and are still patriotic,
we will absolutely not 90 along in ask
ing any increases in rates of pay. Such
Il move is only leading 10 imitation, and

Invdsion By Head
Of Coal Diggers Is
Called "Nuisdnce"
It's "A Lot Of Talk. Rather
Thun An Effective Cdm-
paign. Says Luhrsen

Washington. ID. C.-With fanfare
of publicity. John l.. Lewis has launch
ed raid" on the railroads. but rail
union chiefs are annoyed rather than
alarmed by the threat of the coal
miners chief.
They pointed out that the c. /. o.
some time ago started a similar cam
paign, but got nowhere and virtually
gave up the attempt.
Since the 1,350,OOO railroad workers
are already the best organized group
in the country, Lewis action in plung-
ing into the field can only be designed
for DISRUPTION, union spokesman de-
clared.
Il think this movement is just lot
of talk rather than an effective cam
paign,' declared julius G.. Luhrsen,
executive secretary of the Railway La
Dor Executives Association. We'll
meet the issue when necessary, but
meanwhile the drive will simply ere
ate disputes that won't help the har-
monious conduct of the war"
"One Big Noise"
The Lewis invasion" is being under
taken by District No. 80 of the United
Mine Workers, the ''catch-all' division
which has been trying to rope in
such odd groups as dairy farmers un
der the Miners banner. Ora GaSsaway
president of District No. 80 billed the
drive as movement to build 'ont
big union on the railroads.
Labor chiefs, however, were inclined
to label it as lone big noise" Coming
at a time when the country is at war
and the A. +. of l.. and c. l. o. are
negotiating for unity, the Lewis cam
paign, they said, can only have the
effect of harassing both labor and the
war effort.
Will Comfort The Enemy
Harmony in labor's ranks is needed
now more than ever before" LuhrSer
said. ''Disruption of such harmony is
| inconsistent with a desire to win the
war. 1t will give comfort to the na
tons enemies"
Union leaders pointed out further
that Lewis picked time when tn,
organizations are making demands OF
the railroads for wage increases. A
raid" they said, is calculated to en-
courage carriers to believe there is {;
split among organized railroad work
erS - but that impression won't las
very long.
