Unions In Nations Capital Start
100000 Civilian Defense Fund

John Locher and Frank Coleman, the
Central Labor Union of Washington.
ID. c.. has launched drive to raise a
100000 contribution for civilian de-
fense here This money is being raised
by process which demonstrates more
elOquently than words the loyal and
devoted spirit of our union members.
Each of them has volunteered to turn
over days pay for this necessary
cause. Already the money is pouring in
and l have no doubt that the huge
quota will be exceeded before the drive
is over.
'TheSe working men and women are
not limiting their contribution to money
alone. They have likewise volunteered
to give their free time and their skill
to protect this beautiful city which
all America admires from devastating
enemy attacks.
1--WE hope and pray that the occa-
sion may never arise for putting these
men and women to work at jobs like
repairing damaged streets, restoring
wrecked communications, removing
wreckage of buildings and other tragic
assignments. We hope and pray that
not single American city will ever

Washington, d. Ca.-The AFL Cen
tral Union of the nations capital has
launched drive to raise a 100000
contribution for local civilian defense
activities by union members.
Under the leadership of President
John Locher and Secretary Frank
Coleman, thousands of AFL workers
have joined in a movement to con-
tribute days pay for this cause.
The drive, which is being worked
out in collaboration with Government
and civilian defense officials, was de-
scribed in a radio program featuring
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor as the chief
speaker.
After describing the varied and con-
structive efforts of the AFL to help
America win the war by giving service
on the job and the home front, Mr.
Green said:
I'VE do not have to go far afield
to find outstanding instances of labor's
loyalty. Right here in the nations cap
ital the men and women of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor are rallying
behind the civilian defense program in
a heart-warming way.

plants required to turn them out on Il
24-hour day, 7-day-week schedule"
The War Production Board should
then set the earliest possible dead
line" for the rest of the refrigerator
manufacturers to begin the shift over
from refrigerator making to war pro-
duction.
Maury Welcomes Advice
The WPB announced that Maury had
told the labor group that his first con-
cern was the maximum production of
war supplies" and that to that end he
would welcome advice from any
sources" He invited the labor group,
mot as an opportunity but as a duty"
to furnish qualified men to serve on Il
technical staff which he said he was
establishing to solve production prob
lens for the industry.
One feature of the labor leaders
plan was that the refrigerators should
bear the label, Victory" rather than
the trade mark of the plant producing
it. This was proposed, the committee
said, ito prevent the few firms licensed
to produce it from having an economic
advantage over the rest of the indus
try after the war Is wOn."

Will Start Meetings In New
Year Promptly At
7:30 P. M.

With our new President, James JOr-
dan in the chair, Bisque Warehouse
men held one of their best meetings
in a long time. Many subjects were up
for discussion, and the enthusiasm
shown by our members in their at
tendance at our meetings so far this
year indicate that we are going to
have a real live local in the coming
year.
President Jordan informed the mem
bers that the meetings would be started
promptly at Z 80 and requested that
all brothers make an earnest effort
to be on time. There will be no need
for any member to complain about
the length of our meetings in the new
year, for he promised that discussions
will be held strictly to the subject up
for consideration.
A withdrawal card was issued to
Benson Marshall who has accepted 4
position with the government in Wash

Washington, d. G. ULNS).-Repre-
sentatives of the American Federation
of Labor and Congress of Industrial
Organizations have placed before the
War Production Board Il plan for con-
centrating manufacture of limited
number of simplified, standardized re-
frigeratOrs in few plants for the
duration of the war. The remaining re-
frigeratOr plants would be devoted to
war production.
The proposal, by joint AFL-CIO
commission, was similar to the plan
adopted in Great Britain when the
shift was made there from peace time
production to an all-Out war economy.
Fixed Quota Suggested
The advisory committee of the two
labor organizations met with Jesse
Maury, chief of the durable goods
branch for consumers of the War Pro
duction Board, to outline it's proposal
that the government should determine
fixed yearly production quota of "a
thoroughly simplified and standardized
refrigerator on the basis of available
supplies and minimum consumer
needs"
Production Of this quota then would

league here in Trenton next winter,
and would like to see the pottery

also go along with us and make it
two divisions and have the playOffs

going.

Sanitary Men At
New Castle Show
Real Cooperation
Workers Willing To Help In
Every Way Possible Dur
ing Emergency

New Castle. Pa.-The members of
Local Union No. 133 are greatly in
terested in the situation facing the
sanitary trade and have been discuss
ing it to the fullest lately.
The report of the committee dealing
with the officials of the Universal Pot
terry Company shows the seriousness
of the plant operating on a full time
basis These men who direct the pro-
ducton end are forced to look into
the use of substitutes for many nia
terialS formerly used and which are
now needed very badly in defense pro-
duction. Many of the other shops are
facing the same situation. so we feel
sure the workers are willing to CO.
operate in every way possible to help
out.
This question Of cooperation seems
to be of great Importance and it seems
to be great need or a sad experience
is necessary at times to bring it about.
1t is hard at times for the committee
to convince officials that the members
of the union are truly interested in
the welfare of the company and that
they are willing to listen to the en-
ployerS' side of all questions. On the
other hand it is quite a problem to
make them realize that the head of the
company and other officials want to
see the employees prosper. The men
who have served on the committees
would like to think that the heads
of all other sanitary shops have as
much interest in the welfare of their
employees as the head of the Universal.
A man must be very small indeed who
does not have some desire to do great
good for humanity.
The welfare and prosperous condi-
tion of mans employees should be a
great pride in the minds of the heads
of all industries. We hope this is true
and that our future in sanitary will
be made more secure. Also that our
organization can do their part in
bringing about the protection and Sc
curity needed. A lot of men join the
union wholly to secure some gain for

Meeting Scheduled Sat-
urddY. Feb. 2lst

Addressing his newly appointed com
mittee at the initial meeting of the
1942 picnic committee President James
NJ. Duffy told the members to stick to
their lS-year-old custom of making
each and every picnic bigger and bet
ter than the last one.
Pointing out the recent suggestion
made by President Roosevelt to the
baseball moguls at their recent meet
ing in New York, of the necessity of
furnishing entertainment for the work
ers of the many Industries now en-
gagged in defense work, President Duffy
stated that this year, more than ever,
was the need for our annual picnic of
the pottery industry. With all potteries
working, and the members of the Ma
tiOnal brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters doing all in their power TO help
out in this National emergency, day

ficial to the whole pottery industry.
1t is hard to see how last years
outing could be improved upon except
in the matter of obtaining an auto
mobile, now that the government has
placed ban upon the sale of cars.
However the fertile minds of the mem
bers can be relied upon to find new
and improved ways of making the day
the merriest yet.

In allowing such practices to get

Frank, you should have been there.
The local wishes to express its
thanks to all who have cOoperated with
the defense movement in the various

we are one hundred per cent.
Mr. Francis White, of the Union
Group Insurance Company, gave us
some important information, comparing
our plan with the plan which was il
effect before and still in effect in
some plants. He pointed out to the
members, not to be misled into believ-
ing that there can be any continuity on
any other basis but that between a
bonafide insurance company and a
trade union. Those who did not hear
Mr.. White and his two associates from
New York discuss the ObStancleS con-
fronting us, certainly missed lot.

Poffers At Salem
Are Thankful For
New Pay Schedule
New Plan Will Enable Pot
ters To Receive rs Pays
In Year

Salem, OhiO-The members of Local
AZ for sometime have been trying to
have the pay days changed to every
other Friday. Last year when the COM
mittee approached Mr.. Mckee he in
formed them if arrangements were
completed, it would be acceptable. All
employees will receive their pay on Sat
urday from now on, with the first one
coming on February p. We feel the
members could make out better with
26 pays in the year. All members
would like to take this opportunity to
thank the officers of the Salem China
Company and the committee for grant
ing this favor.
Bank night was started last meeting
night with Brother Leroy Weigand's
name being drawn. He was absent,
therefore, the amount will be seven
dollars next meeting night. Although
the members felt winner should be
pulled every time, the trustees felt it
would be more inducive If just one
name was drawn. This would encourage
the members to attend the meetings.
President Jackson appointed a spe-
cial committee to get in touch with
all members to get them to buy de-
fense bonds. If unable to buy bonds,
then purchase the stamps and turn
them into bonds later. We urge all
members to buy bonds to help America
get all of the enemies back where they
won't bother us any more One hundred
and eighty members are buying bonds
through the plant office and the local
has purchased $500 in bonds.
Roy Ripple is working ut the Ra-
VIENNA Arsenal and has asked for an
honorary membership. We dislike to
lose Brother Ripple, but the country
needs defense workers.
At our next meeting we will have
a speaker with us to demonstrate and
explain how an incendiary bomb works.
Air raid precautions are necessary to
everyone and don't put off coming to
this meeting as you can never tell
when this information will be needed.
Someone from the fire department will
also be there to show us how to use
fire eXtinguishers.
