ON hand to hear Vice President Chad

us out on several important questions
which have been hanging fire for some

hope he can visit us often.
The attendance has been rising
steadily since we inaugurated the cash

Pleads For Maintenance Of
High Morale Among

MEMBER LABOR BOARD
Peace Committee Still Intact
Wditing For Word
From CIO

DetrOit.--GeOrge Meany, secretary
treasurer of the American Federation
of Labor, in an address last Thursday
night in this key war production CEN
ter said that nothing is really impOr-
tant to any of us these days except
ultimate and complete victory for our
nation and urged genuine and indie
structible unity of the American peO-
pie as condition essential to the
achievement of that victory.
Let us remember that the worker
of today in this modern war is actual
~ a soldier in Overalls," Mr.. Meany
said. LET us remember that prOduc-
without delay, at faster and ever
faster pace.
''Let us remember that America s
workers are carrying the RESPONSE
bility of producing not only for our
people but for the liberty-lOving peO-
pie of all the world. Let us remember
that it depends on how we'll we do our
job as to what kind of world this is
going to be for many generations to
come"
Speaking before the Detroit and
Wayne County Federation of Labor,
the A. f. of l.. secretary-treasurer, who
is also a member of the National War
Labor Board and of President Roose-
velt's siN-man A. +. of L.-C. I. o. Com
bined Labor War Board, emphasized
that peak production of the articles
needed for winning the war requires
the maintenance of high morale among
! American wage-earners and condemned
the foolish or vicious men" who are
currently indulging in unwarranted
"sniping" at labor.
anyone who attempts for selfish
purposes to impair the morale of the
American worker is guilty of an act of
treason he said.
Pointing out that American labor in
the last two years has written pa
triOtic record which is uneXcelled any
where in the world, "and I include
Great Britain in this statement" Mr.
Meany said there is no excuse what
Soever for the activities of those who
are seeking to use the national crisis
to Shackle workers with restrictive
laws and to erase existing protective
labor legislation from the statute
books.

FRIDAY THE 18TH
Kiln,nen Lodfing Requested
To Contact President
Andy McGowdn

To many Friday, the 18th. is super
stitious, but to members of No 9. it
is just another meeting night, and the
attendance at our meeting was very
good
National President James NJ Duffy
attended this meeting, and gave some
very timely suggestions and decisions
pertaining TO our apprentices.
We believe these suggestions and
decisions were beneficial to our meni-
berShip inaSinuch as there have been
so many different opinions pertaining
to our apprentices on the various pot
teres
This writer earnestly believes if our
apprentices are permitted to act as a
stop gaps $50 long as they do not viO-
late any law it will be to the advan-
tage of every kilnman in the future.
President Andy MCGOWAN has very
generously offered his service, by sug-
gesting any kilnman who may be loaf
ing day should contact him and he
way be able to place him for that day.
This also applies to any bench boss
who may need man. Andy's phone
number is 36O9R.
When we talk of the shortage Of kiln
men and starting apprentices. it is
natural our thoughts turn back the
pages of days gone by l can recall
something like 40 brother kilnmen
who have passed away in the last 10
years. OF course space will not permit

Labor Omitted In
Selection Of Air
Defense Wurdens
Protection Of Lives In Tren-
ton District In The Hunds
Of Politicians

Trenton, n. J.-At the last meeting
of Local Union No. 35, Il committee
of ten volunteered to attend the joint
meeting of the c. l. o. and A. +. of
l.. in regards to plan for the defense
of this city in which labor will play a
great part.
Several speakers We're on the pro-
gram, including the mayor and the for
mer prosecutor of Mercer county. Much
criticism was placed on the heads of
the defense committee, owing to the
failure of labor not being represented.
The labor speakers showed that the
II air raid wardens appointed were
all politicians and not fitted for their
work, especially in the districts where
the defense plants are located.
Mr.. Andrew Ouch stated he headed
the committee in name only, and had
no part in appointing the wardens, as
it was all cut and dried before he was
asked to serve as chairman. Do the
people of Trenton want such people
as wardens on this committee. This is
war and let us have the best we can
get to do the job right. If the politi-
clans were best fitted, we would say
O. X, but we must take politics out
of this war, or we will be in the same
category as France.
The police department gave dem
OnstratiOn on how to eXtinguish in
cendiary bombs. Also gave the duties
of each and everyone on the various
COMMITTEES. The government sent rep
resentative from Washington who
spoke on the part labor was playing
in this war. The w. =. A. band rem
dered several musical numbers during
the program The national anthem was
shown on the screen and the entire
audience joined in singing.
Brother John Hobson was inducted
into the army last week and left for
Fort Dix, which is only II miles from
here He wants to see Joe Louis and
maybe get n chance to watch him

Looking Forwdrd
To Wage Increase
Feel Rise In Retdil Prices
Justifies Demands Of
Workers

New Castle, Pa.-DO You members
OF the trade want evidence or proof
that the Allies are going the win the
war? DO you want to hear that you
are going to pay for ii in some way!
1t may cost your dear ones lives, or
perhaps even your own. You know we
will pay in money YOU cannot hope
to get through it without sacrifice
Some will no doubt gain from it, but
the working man will pay and pay
plenty.
Do yon think you will get enough
pay increases to settle your income
tax, sales tax and higher rents? What
can you do to meet it? One solution
we know of and that is, we are going
to do without a lot
The sanitary potterS are looking
forward to the employers helping them
out There seems to be plenty of evi-
dence that retail prices have gone up
enough to give returns to increase the
pay to cover the workers needs We
do not need to state where we find the
evidence.
The wOrkmen now fear there will
be a limit placed on wages SO far we
have not read anything about limits
being placed on salaries of officials
of industries, or limits on dividends
to stockholders. The wOrkmen must
pay and so many of them pay without
any real effort being made on their
part to find out why, or to organize
against the unjust, unfair methods that
are used against them. 1t seems we
do not have the energy, time or in.
telligence to help ourselves.
Credit unions are now being organ
lied to help the workers. We have
read a report that 800 such unions
are in existence In Pennsylvania and
over 5000 nationally. Each year mil
lions of dollars are loaned out to
share holders. Who runs the credit
union? A board of directors, credit
committee and supervisory committee,
all elected by the members. We hear
about men in our shop borrowing
money from a finance company, and.
of the high rate of interest they are
charged. 1t is time to act, as everyone
knows what interest YOU receive when
you put your money in Il bank.
We have read in the paper of the
Brotherhood insurance. We wonder
when the older men in our plant who
need insurance most, will realize what
this means to them. Is it possible for
those who can speak their language
to educate them in the realization of
its value and the reasonable cost to
older men in the trade?
Local No. 133 will meet the bowlers
of No. 33, Beaver Falls, on Saturday
afternoon, March 81, at New Castle.
We are all looking forward to a good
time. o. G. 1873

LAG has a very important bit of news,
and they would like to share it with
the other locals. Within the past six
months this local has purchased $1,000
in defense bonds.
A very interesting meeting was held
last Thursday evening in our new
meeting hall. the Tyler County School
building We will be able to meet here
for the next two months providing our
members refrain from smoking. If this
rule is broken we must leave. The
meeting in the school room brought
back lot of school day memories to
our members. Some of them forgot
themselves and started singing school
Day." Also you could hear different
ones Throughout the crowd saying, Il

they did 1t was lot of fun. What Is
more enjoyable than reminiscing?
Eight new members were obligated
at this meeting Russell Paden, George

Hazel Wallace was granted a with.

The decorating kilnmen were out on
strike from Wednesday midnight until
Friday midnight. 1t seems the foreman
hired non-union helper on the kiln
and the boys refused to work with
him, so they walked out. The boys had
good cause to refuse and they were not
blamed one bit. They finally reached
an agreement with the firm and went
back to work under protest. o. G. LAG.

controversy over the radio in the Bowl
