Salem OhiO.-With a good attend

several matters that have been hang

of Local AZ was one of the best we
have had for some time Many of these
grievances which seem to carry over
from one meeting to another, could
really be settled promptly if the mem
bers would attend meetings and
register their complaints in the proper
manner.
Three visitors were present at the
meeting Thelma Craven of Sebring
and Clair Armstrong and William
Duke of East Liverpool. All were called
upon to say few words and very ably
responded.
Sister Craven who is president of
Local Union 121 was asked many ques-
tions by our decal girls. In answer to
some of the questions, she pointed out
the action taken at the recent wage
conference. She likewise told the men,
bers of the necessity of attending their
meetings and giving all the facts of
their case. When this is done there are
very few times that results do not
follow.
Brother Armstrong in his remarks,
asked to be enlightened on the issuing
of transfer cards by our local to mem
bers, whom he has been Informed, had
not served their required apprentice

Brother Armstrong, pointed out the
cards he had in mind, were issued only
after the proper investigation had been
made.

In Move To Create Better
Relations In Industry

Cambridge Mass.-Harvard Univer-
sity announced the names of the four
teen trade-uniOn representatives who
have been selected by their unions to
study for nine months as Labor Eel
lows under the auspices of the Harvard
Graduate School Of Business Admins
tration, the Littuaer School of Public
Administration, and the Department of
Economics.
Under the plan, trade-union leaders
hold fellowships, financed Jointly by
the university and the unions and
designated to create better relation
ship between labor and management.
Included in the first group, which has
already begun studies, are members of
the unions of railway clerks, ladies'
garment workers, hatters and electri-
clans.
The Labor Fellows are chosen by
their own unions. They are not re-
Uuired to meet definite scholastic re-
uuirements, such as the completion OF
a high school education. They range
from men who left school at the age
of II or 13 to a Master of Law.
The only prerequisites are general
intelligence, capacity for leadership,
and devotion to the labor movement.
Nearly all are men with record for
successful experience as shop commit
teemen, local union officers, or national
representatlves-men who have proved
their ability to serve the labor move
ment.

The plan originated with the unions
themselves in 1941, but the decision to
