made to obtain decorating uniformity,
and we urge our officers and members
responsible for the progress so far
made, to carry on until they have OBJ
tanned the end we seek.
Carrying Out
We regret the failure to reach a
satisfactory conclusion in the carrying
out conference, and we condemn those
who placed selfish interest above the
betterment of the trade as Il whole.
Circular Kilns
On this question the committee feels
that every effort should be made to
rectify the hardship imposed on those
working on these kilns, and we com,
mend our officers and conferes for
their effort to date.
Apprentice Questions
We join the National Officers in the
hope that our members will familiariZe
themselves with this feature of our
agreement, and insist upon its enforce
ment.
Other Conferences
We are glad to note, that the queS-
ton of conferences, on ten hole tea
Saggers, and nine hole seven inch plate
SaggerS. and establishment of packing
prices, are still live issues, and we
await with interest the successful con
clusion of the continued efforts of the
L IL
questions.
General and China Ware Competition

vice to our members employed in these
branches will if followed greatly re-
lieye this situation.

of much good. and we urge our menl-

question of the age limit for appren-

definitely settled at this, s,convention.

been reSorted to in several instances
in the past year, and we are certain
that a more thorough knowledge on the
part of members, of the possibilities in
our constitution and wage agreements.
will dO much to offset the reoccurence
of these unfortunate affairs. We fur

enues by Il greater share in the trans
portation of war supplies between De-
troit, Cleveland and Buffalo"
The Seafarers' International Union
of North America, AFL affiliate, asked
for an increase from $155 to 1925 a
month, plus subsistence, for able
bodied men. The board granted the
men Sis Il month, plus subsistence.
Corresponding increases were ordered
for other classifications.
Some Requests Denied
The board ruled against vacations
with pay, Il guaranteed season of EN-
plOyment and uniforms to be supplied
by the company, all asked by the
union.
The decision was the unanimous
recommendation of Il board panel, COM
posed of Edwin e. White, representing
the public: Gearge Nj. Rogers, repre-
sentng industry, and Richard j. Gray,
representing labor
The panel reported that the normal
full-time employment of Seamen by the
company was seven to eight months a
year, and that in 1941 able-bodied sea-
men employed by this company re-
ceived between $1,000 and $1,000, while
ordinary seamen earned less than 5000
last year
Deficit Fully Recognized
'The panel and the board fully
understood and took careful account of
of the fact that the company is Oper-
ating at loss and has been doing so
for many years." William II. Davis,
the chairman, said in writing the board
opinion.
"The PANELS recommendation has
been approved on the familiar princi-
pie that, from the practical point of
view of getting the service of workers
and from the more general point of
view of equity and good conscience, an
award of this kind should not provide
a wage scale below the prevailing rate
merely because the employer is unable
to pay the going rate of wages i'm his
labor market.
1T is true that this well-accepted
rule may in particular cases, and per-
hapS in this case, substantially affect
the company's ability to stay in bust
ness and it is also true that if the
company goes out of business it cannot
any longer employ seamen. 10. ," a'-
Direct Bargaining Advised
Realities of this kind are things
which can be taken care of only by
direct collective bargaining between
the workers, through their chosen rep
resentatives, and the employer. 1t is
only in such bargaining conferences
that effect can be given to the desire
of employees, if it exists, to choose to
work for Subnormal wage rate rather
than have the company discontinue its
operations
