LodgsOn, Joe Strobe, Jess Isenhuth,
Mike Wheeler and Bus tell some nice
stories, but they are fishermen and
you have to allow a little leeway.
Captain Ralph Hooks and Frank
Simpson were plowing the Atlantic
seaboard around Wildwood, n. j. with
their old crony Captain Theodore
Reedel and can they tell stories about
the big ones (Of course they lost them)
the old Emm. r. Twin Screw Diesel
Powered was just like home to those
old salts.
The men have asked the firm for a
raise and the way things look at
present, l believe the firm will be will
ing to give something to combat the
high cost of living, especially those in
the lower brackets, who have to buy
in the same market as the high man.
There are a few brothers who in
sist on being delinquent in their pay
ment of dues and assessments. These
brothers are always willing to take
any raise that comes along, but cannot
find time to take any active part in
their local. What kind of wages would
you be drawing today, if it were not
for your Local Union? Better think il
over brother and pay up before you arc
suspended.-O.C 102.

what they are. 1t costs considerable
money to send delegates to our CON
vention and by all means we should
hear our representatives give an ac-
count of their stewardship.
We are in q great war and no one
can with any certainty say what the
future holds for those employed i'm the
pottery industry, but in so far as we
are able we must keep abreast of the
situation az it develops and affects us.
The best place to do this in your local
union meetings, which has always at
from many sources by our National
organization.
Due TO the rubber shortage, gas ra-
tioning, and other measures proposed
to restrict travel, many people are go

occupy their leisure time. May this
correspondent suggest, that one of the
most profitable ways, would be more
regular attendance at your meetings
full meeting hall is always an in
seldom any serious trouble in any local
where Il ma ajority of the members are
faithful i'm their attendance.
The increase in the payroll deduction
plan moves steadily onward and the
progress to date is more than crafty,
ing. Almost every meeting sees Il new
name added to our service roll and We
must keep our promise to these bro

The Red Cross Blood Donor Unit is
due here again in August and there is
no doubt that the fine record the pot
ters of Minerva made in May will be
duplicated in August We did it before
and we will do it again.
There is some talk of our annual
picnic being held shortly and since il
may be our last due To the war, it is
hoped that all members will be i'm at

We regret to inform the trade of the
death of Brother Frank "Hauk" Nc

Extension of the social security pro-
gram to include farm labor is also
urged by the Federationist, which
says:
.'The wartime scarcity of agricui-
tural labor is most desperate in the
case of the uStrialized farms, which
have counted upon migratory workers
whose need forced them TO accept
casual employment at pitiful wages.
AS soon as better employment is avail
able these workers end their migra-
tions. Family farms, with their more
stabilized employment, have fewer Ia
Dor difficulties.
1T is i'm industrial agriculture that
the first unions of agricultural workers
We're organized and these first among
the pickerS and packers. lnduStrlallZed
farmers have fought these attempts to
organize, while they themselves organ
lied to prevent the extension of pro
tective labor legislation to agricultural
workers even when employed under in
dustrial conditions.
Yet these workers need protection
Of their right to organize and bargain
collectively, as the report OF the La
Toilette committee points out with
this right and extension of the pro
lection of IL social security program,
including provisions for sickness. ag-
ricultural workers would have a sound
foundation for enabling them to work
out other problems of progressive wei
fare.
Group Exclusion Unjust
NO nation can safely exclude grouES
from protection granted by public
policy 10 other groups with similar
problems Migratory farm laborers and
their children have a right To Ameri-
can standards of life and work avail
able to other groups of workers.
"Our Federal government has an
extensive program of aid for Ameri-
can farmers, for we realize that we
cannot maintain prosperity at lie eN-
pcnSe of any one group. Agricultural
progress must include farm labor as

Recognize Assets
Of Older Workers,
Employers Asked
Women's Bureau Studies In
dicdte No Need For Speci-
fled Top Age Limits

Washington, D. c. ULNS).-Calling
on employers to recognize the assets
of older women workers, Miss Mary
Anderson, director of the Women
Bureau, t. S. Department of Labor,
declared here that a large number OF
older women are capable of doing good
work in war industries and civilian
services.
Employment of older women will re-
lease younger workers for more ardu-
Gus tasks or for services in the armed
forces, she pointed out.
"Some companies in hiring women
have the policy of selecting only those
in the 20 to 80 year age group Miss
Anderson said. The Women's Bureau
studies on the working woman indl-
Gates no need for a specified top age
limit. Certainly 81 is far too low a
limit Although girls under 20 are en-
plOyed in certain types of jobs, they
should not be used in hazardous indus
tries.
Work Assets Cited
"Women i'm the higher groups often
have had years of experience and have
considerable skill, Judgment and re-
liability. They do not have young chit
dren In fact the assets of these women
are important in employment, especial
ly in the war effort"
Citing an example of older women
in war industry, Miss Anderson said
Recently l visited war plant
where the youngest woman is fore
lady about 40 years old. The women
whom she supervses are all older
some considerably older, and they are
particularly good for the hazardous
work on which they are employed
They are excellent workers and have Il
minimum of accidents. Statistics show
more accidents among the younger
workers."
| Need for Older Women
Declaring that employers should take
such points into consideration in EN-.
pl0ying women. Miss Anderson said
that "in war industries there is need
I for speed and for young women III
various processes, but there is alS'
need on other jobs for the caution and
stability displayed by older women
In some areas where shortages are
acute there has been Il decided tr"nt
to revise job specifications in favor oi
older women, Miss Anderson said. II

shall remember for a long time. A
very few of our number had cross
ed before, so of course they assist
ed in our initiation. Each polywog
was subjected to a dipping and
padding, and believe you me the
initiators didn't spare the rod. We
had a few sub scares and of course
were subject to blackouts at night.
However, as a whole, our crossing
was quite uneventful. I'm now in
the End Battalion, and our camp is
delightfully."- situated in the midst
of a cocoanut grove on a gentle
slope that runs down to the water.
We are living in tents and except
for the intense heat, could almost
imagine being at Bethany Beach
as of yore with the d. N. G.
The natives here are very
friendly, although hard to under
stand. The flowers are truly beau
tiful-all colors of the rainbow
Tropical fish likewise are all
shapes, sizes and colors.
In addition to the cocoanuts we
get lines, oranges, bananas, water
melons, ETC., from the natives, and
they add a homely touch. There are
many other varieties of unpro-
nounceable and unspellable fruits
here which are tasty 'but odd and
have strange native names. We
have a very important assignment
here, and so far a very nice one.
No idea how long we'll be here.
