factory personnel in the institutions of
the State | think. therefore, it is
essential that the low and inadequate
salaries of many of the employees in
the institutions be increased, both as
a matter of justice. and in order to
attract and keep workers in the serv-
ice of the institutions
The Governor also approved the
Ives bill increasing unemployment in
Surance benefits. He noted that more
men are being laid off from jobs be-
cause of the effect of war on our
domestic economy. The nature of New
YOrk'S commerce and industry re-
quires a greater economic sacrifice
than elsewhere, the Governor declared.
Under the Ives bill maximum I'M
employment insurance benefits are in
creased from $l5 to SIS a week, the
waiting period is cut from three to
two weeks, and the duration Of pay
ments is extended from thirteen to
twenty weeks.

ClarkSburg, w. Va. - The bowling
team representing the McNicol Pottery
in the City League here finished third

since it was their first year in this
kind of competition and we are happy
to report that Brother Dick Adams
carried off high honors in the singles
game series.
The team travelled to FairmOunt on
last Thursday evening and took the
scalps of the champs there in four of
the five games rolled. They wolld now
like to travel in another direction and
show the pOtterS in Grafton how this
game should be played, so Tally Lisk
and his bOwlers can consider them
selves challenged.

that our interests will be we'll taken
care of by these two brothers.
1t has been reported that one OF
our leading chain stores is still offer
ing for sale ware made in Japan. How
anyone can insult their customers in
this manner now, is beyond my under
standing, perhaps the manager has not
heard of Pearl Harbor, Bataan or Cor
regidOr. However l think he will be
brought up-to-date, when a committee
makes its investigation.
Brother John AIullens who has been
on the sick list for some time is re-
ported improving and hopes to be back
at his bench soon. o. c. 80.

Applies For Patent
On Minnow Bucket

The worries of fishermen in this dis
trict are over according to Brother
William Powell, member of Local
Union No who has applied to the
government for patent on his new
mnnow bucket.
It's method being natural aeratiOn,
is composed of two buckets. The outer
bucket which has a reservoir at the
bottom to hold any water that may
seep through from the inner bucket is
covered with mesh wire which enables
natural air to pass through.
The inner bucket is made of pOuris
water-proOfed materials. Through this
process it generates moisture evapOra-
ton which keeps the water cool, this
being beneficial to the life of the
minnOWS.
run MinnOws" were put in this
eight-quart bucket in September and
the same live minnOwS were taken to
| Camp Knox in November by Mike
Raffa, the we'll known fighter, who
kept them week and shipped them
back without the loss of single min
now.
The success of the bucket is due to
the fact that the amount of air passing
through the bucket forms oxygen
which over balances the carbon di-
oxide, that the minnows throw off
when they eXhale.
Fishermen interested in seeing the
unusual features of this bucket may
do so Mt the home of the inventor at
1906 st. Clair avenue.

cussiOn at the meeting of the emer-

cluded its sessions in London, the

Representatives from the United

Minister Ernest Bevin declared that
the future of the world depends upon
acceptance of the plans contained in

Quota To Atlantic City
In June
SUFFICIENT FUNDS
"CdrrYing Out" Question Is
\ Labeled Public Enemy
No. l In Clay Shop

,Sebring, OhiO.-Well, we enjoyed a
rather hectic half hour debate on the
ever present carrying out question. 1t
appears self evident that the Public
Enemy No. l of most clay shops at
present is carrying Out" l fully be-
lieve, that to emancipate the clay work
er from the grim spectre of carrying
out, would be an advantage gained
which would be hard to equal.
l was asked to announce that the
Officers of Local Al for the ensuing
six months will be nominated at our
next regular meeting. Delegates to the
convention will also be elected at this
time. Every member is urged to attend
and carefully determine the persons
best qualified to further the aims of
our Local.
Every year the question comes up
rs to whether we should send our full
quota of delegates or "just few. I
believe we should send the full amount
allotted us by our membership. These
members who are eligible as delegates
have attended meetings faithfully and
earned the right to this honorable
award. The knowledge and experience
gained at a Convention are of infinite
value to each delegate and to each
local as well. Although not Il vacation
in any sense, it does give a brief respite
from the hum drum of the average
work day. An opportunity is created to
see new and strange faces and scenes
to engage in open debate, to hear
other locals problems and to widen
the scope of knowledge about the entire
labor organization. Surely, the many
advantages gained in attending CON
vention are worth the expense involved.
Thanks to Bob Larlins, our treas
ury has sufficient funds to take care
of this obligation without undue strain
