Delegates Chosen
On First Ballot
By Trenton Local
Ansell. Cooper. Simpson
And Templeton Repre-
sent L. u. As

Trenton, n. J.--LOcal Union No. 4JS
day night to elect delegates to the 1912
convention. All other business was dis
pensed with and then we gave our
selves Il great surprise in choosing the
four delegates on III first ballot.
Those who wnrF, lss5e IGNORED were
Brothers Ansell. Cooper, Simpson and
Templeton. Alert Davies was named
alternate. We do hope that those who
We're not elected will measure our
appreciation of them by the number
of votes they received.
They are all fine fellows and some
of them have always been ready to
pitch in and help whenever there was
any work to be done for the good of
the organization. We hope they will
continue and try again. Those elected
are good workers too and we know
they will do their best to look after
the interest of the Brotherhood at the
convention and at all other times.
Fourth Vice President Charles Zim-
mer and Brother John Simpson gave
an excellent report of the progress
made at the recent sanitary conference
held in New York. The attendance
of Mr. Theodore f. Mueller, superin-
tendent of all American Radiator Com
pany factories was greatly appreciated,
he favored the plan submitted by our
organization, as a very practical basis
for settling any employer-employe con-
troversy.
A communication was received from
LabOr's Joint Defense Committee for
Victory, requesting blood donors. Any
member wishing to assist in this
worthy cause, will forward his name
and address to our secretary.
Brother James Eardly, a veteran of
the first World War, left the trade
last week to enlist in the Navy.
We were notified by Headquarters
that the beneficiary of our late broth
er, Charles Belts. has received Il check
for $4,000 and check has been for
warded to Mrs. George WalOwski.
Brother Belts was an honorary mem
ber.
We are sad to hear of the passing
of these brothers, but are glad to be
able to do this service in an hour of
need. Many of our members will soon
be in the ten-year class and entitled
to $4,000. This is very cheap in
surance, but will only be paid to those
hot, IN, f,,1
A delegation, headed by Brother Al
Kato from Camden dropped in at our
last meeting. We are always glad to
have these brothers and hope they will
pay us another visit soon.
Once again we remind you that our
meetings on May 8 and 22nd, will be
held in the Polish War Veterans hall
at the corner of Cass and Grand
streets. O. G. 45.

Gases In Decorating Kiln Presents
Serious Problem To Manufacturers

presented serious problem to the pot
ter. Correct kiln atmosphere is impera-
tive where the attainment of certain
decorative effects neceSSitateS several
consecutive firingS. as is generally the
case with fine bone china and pOrce-
lain. In some instances the loss OF
single piece may have Il very high
dollar value. In the SO-called luxury
class of finely decorated pOrcelainS and
table wares, a single piece falling short
of perfection may result in the loss OF
several hundred dollars. The import
ance of correct kiln atmosphere in
creases directly with the value of the
decorated goods.
The standard of criticism applied to
decorated ware in the lower price
fields is, fortunately for the manufac-
turer. not nearly SO eXacting. COnSe-
Quently, loss due to unstable merchan-
disc is apparently. small, as goods ON
which the colors or applied metals
are deficient in quality are passed as
satisfactory.
Manufacturing losses are of two
kinds:
Firstly-The most obvious type in
which the finished decorated piece
becomes a total loss, as spit-out ware
or discoloratiOn.
Secondly-Ware which, though ship

Officers And Delegate To
Convention Elected At
May 2 Meeting

Cambridge, OhiO.-Despite the small
attendance a very interesting meeting
was held by Local Union No. 100 last
Saturday night when local officers and
delegates to the national convention
were elected.
The following We're chosen to head
us for the next six months: President,
James Coffey; vice president, Lee
Woodward; recording secretary, Ar
thur Ferber: treasurer, Earl Johnson ;
financial secretary, Elmer Lewis
guard, Rutherford Sheets; statistician,

II months, Harry Mallpass.
We will be represented in Atlantic
City this July by James COffey, Harry
Mallpass, Marie Adams, Dan Killinger
and Arthur Ferber.
Our legislative committee lodged
some effective complaints with Sena-
tors Burton, Taft and Congressman
Secrest, and received some very en-
cOuraging replies regarding pottery
price fixing, etc.
Congressman Secrest mailed us a
copy of congressional speech which
related to his effort to exclude Japan
ese products from U. s. markets,
namely pottery, glass ware, silk, cotton
cloth and American flags of japanese
origin.
This speech also points out, that pri-
vate enterprise under the profit mo.
tive, supplies Japan with the fuel, oil
and scrap metal with which they sank
our ships.
The trend now is towards one hun
dred per cent efficiency. The one com
plete delivery system, eliminating
wasteful duplicated effort and it is
only natural to expect the retention OF
proven economic results after civiliZa
ton batters itself back to normal rea
son. While In the meantime scarcity
of labor will create more widespread
use of labor-saving devices.
I see by the Herald that the day fol
that grand and glorious spree is only
