TIME TO ACT
Members Cautioned When
Buying Footwear; Dine
And Dance Friday

At our Tuesdays meeting the first
important order of business, of course,
was the coming wage conference A
lively discussion was held on this im-
pOrtant matter and we feel our con
ferees profited by what was said.
We also hope they caught the feeling
of optimism and determination which
was prevalent during the short speech
es made by some of our members.
One of our members reported on a
matter which | think should be given
plenty of publicity. 1t appears he went
into one of the large shoe stores in
the Diamond to purchase Il pair of
Union Made shoes. After examining
several pairs Of shoes in search Of the
Union Label, the clerk gave up and
called the manager. The manager con-
frOnted our local member and when
he found out the cause of the trouble,
informed him that he did not have Il
union made pair of shoes in the store.
Yes, that incident happened right here
in East Liverpool where union workers
are supposed to comprise about ninety
per cent of the entire working class of
people. So you good people be careful
which store you enter when you are
in the Diamond. Play safe and always
demand the Union Label on everything
you buy.
Another very important ma e +
which was given plenty of time and
discussion on the local floor, was the
recent article in the local paper an
nOuncing the staggered hour system
as recommended by the transportation
committee for the decorators in the
district plants.
When it was decided to change the
hours of some pottery workers to pro-
vide more buSSes for war industries,
the decorators were the first to be
singled out to have their hours
changed. Now, we all want to do our
part to help prosecute the war to a
speedy end, but we feel the proposed
hours of 30 a. III. to 6 200 p. III. is
entirely uncalled for.
Let's clear up one statement you
may have read recently in regards to
the proposed new hours for decorators
before we go any farther. 1t was
stated that the decorators were whole
heartedly in favor of the change in
hours Where anyone obtained this in
formation to be able to make that
statement is a mystery to us. SO far
the decorators have not been contact
ed, nor has poll been conducted TO
feel the pulse of popular opinion in
this matter
The correct method to straighten out
this little friction would be for the

is always on the job even if there is
not much to report.
The Conference Committee held a
long session with MesSrs. Aitken, Bent
ley and Rhoads last Friday and if they
did not get all they asked for it was
largely on account of circumstances
beyond their control War conditions
and price regulations make it very
difficult to secure adjustments ut this
time, no matter how great may be the
merits of the case.
We were glad to receive a favorable
reply to our request regarding the
Silicosis bill, now before the State
Legislature from Senator Wesley Arm
strong.
One of the main items of business at
our last meeting was the election of
officers for the next six months, which
resulted in Brother Albert Davies be-
ing chosen president; Russell Sleepy
vice president; Elijah Watson, tinan-
cial secretary; Lance Ansell, record
ing secretary; John Richards, treas
urer; Harry Jones, inspector; Russell

months.
The three retiring members of the
conference committee We're reelected
for another eighteen months. They are
Joseph Abrams, Lance Ansell and
Michael Gevak.
Would it be asking too much that we
make New Years resolution to sup
port our officers and committeeman to
the very best of our ability? Dark days
lie ahead and if we are to maintain
our present standards, they can only
be accomplished by all pulling to-
gether. Let's start the year off with a
bang and have our meeting hall pack
ed every meeting.
Our retiring president was con
graduated and given a rising vote of
thanks. Brother Bob Hannah was also
commended for his services as chair.

past year.-O.C. 45.

week. The employees of the Southern
Potteries are investing 90 per cent in
War Bonds and hope by next meeting
to announce 100 per cent. Local Union

Once again we are preparing for our
annual Christmas party to be held on
December 10. Members of the firm are
taking part in the affair this year and
we expect to have very large crowd
in attendance. Our gifts to the boys
from the pottery who are serving in
the armed forces have been sent. There
are approximately 70 boys already
serving and more to leave soon.
Some people are careless with the
truth. When your O.C. left East Liver

told the weather was always pleasant

Effective Immediately, the order in

Fundamentally the directive pro-

Skills as far as possible; and industry
must adopt programs of training, up
