LABOR COOPERATES IN
COMMUNITY CHESTS
THROUGHOUT NATION

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-Organ-
lied labor has won increased recogni-
ton as an important part of the civil
and social life of hundreds of cities
and towns throughout the United
States because of an agreement signed
3 months ago between United Nations
Relief of the AFL, the National CIO
Relief Committee, and the Community
Chests and Councils, Inc. The agree
ment provided for direct labor par
ticipation and recognition in cOmmun-
ity and war chests from coast to
coast.
AS result of the agreement, sepa-
rate appeals and campaigns will be
eliminated in cities where it has been
put in effect. Workers will be called
upon to make only two contributions
during the next II months. These will
be contribution to their local COM
munity war chest made in weekly
monthly, quarterly or semi-annual in
stallments as may be convenient.

These men will be very good officers,

the officers to make a successful local.
1t is your duty to attend the meetings
and take an active part.
Our National President Duffy is call
ing on all pOtters to meet their obliga-
tion to Uncle Sam by investing, ten
per cent of their pay in War Bonds.
The potters will meet this issue now
as they have in the past, 100 per cent.
This is not only duty, but very
good investment for the future So
everyone purchase their bonds and buy
till it hurts. Let us show the Axis
Just what we think of our country.
1t has been reported by the shop
committee at the Harker Pottery Com
pany that the management is insisting
upon an apprentice on dish jigger
while fiat ware jiggermen are asking
for the job and being refused. This is
very unfair to the brothers who have
worked for the company for years.

The American Federation of Labor
is determined that the millions OF
women entering war industries shall
get square deal.
Mary Anderson, director of the
WOmen's Bureau of the Department
of Labor, said that one of the most
encouraging developments in the revo-
lutionary new picture of woman
power is the firm stand the unions are
taking in their behalf.
''Our efforts to safeguard working
women have been helped immeasur-
ably by the trade unions" said Miss
Anderson, pointing out that the things
for which the labor movement stands
and the essential standards and poll
cies of the Bureau are practically
identical.
Their continued protection of wage
standards is vitally necessary, not
only to assure adequate minimum
rates for women on war jobs, but to
protect the standards of men,"
Women are pouring into the war
plants faster than men and by the
end of the year 3,5OO,OOO will be EN-
ployed. By the end of next year the
figure is expected to be increased by
another 100000.
In this extraordinary situation many
employers have sought to take ad-
vantage of the women. The Women's
Bureau has received complaints of
starting rates" ranging to % cents

his usual manner of not allowing our

the meeting of Local Sc Monday eve

Nomination Of Officers Will
Be Held At The Next
Meeting

With Vice Presiden Lois Coleman
again presiding and Norman Whippler
acting as vice president, Local 124
met for it's final meeting in November.
The meeting was one Of the best we
have had for several weeks. Everyone
present entered into the discussions.
Madeline Ruth Evans. Ruby May
Machin. Margaret Ann Connolly and
Robert Richards were initiated.
Carl Smith deposited his withdrawal
card and his name was added to the
roll.
Quite lengthy discussion was held
in regards to bond sales. Our repre-
sentative to the special bond meeting
held in the auditorium last week gave
Il fine report. Members of the various
shops who are on the bond committee
also gave full details of their prog
resS. 1t seems to me that the least all
of us can do is to invest 10 per cent
of our earnings in bonds, when our
boys in the service are giving every
thing they have without complaint
even perhaps their lives How anyone
can compare his sacrifice Of few
dollars to that Of the sacrifice of our
boys is more than 1 can understand.
So let's go potters, don't be Stacker
Let's roll up our sleeves and do our
part to get this war over before it
really does require everything we have
to finish it.
Every member is urged to be pres

Well here it is folks-the date of
our party is Friday evening, December
11th So keep this date open to come
and bring a friend for an enjoyable
time. There will be dancing and
lunch. The committee in charge has
promised us a real time, so plan to
be there-O.C. 124.

Sebring, Ohio--At our last meeting
we were accorded double pleasure.
Not only was Brother "Baldy" Bost-
wick back with us, but President Duffy
and Vice President Turner visited our
local.
1t has been long time since we
have had the privilege of welcoming
our National President to our meet
ing. We realize our National officials
are extremely busy, and vet l know
of no better way to improve the morale
of the lay member any more, than an
occasional visit from our officials.
President Duffy and Vice President
Turner gave us resume of the ne
gotiatiOns for the renewal of the con-
tract with the Spauldng China Co.
Their report clears up Il lot of mis-
understanding and allows everyone an
opportunity of seeing the difficulties
sometimes encountered by our officials.
The presence of our old friend
"Baldy" was Il pleasure that cannot
be expressed in words. He has been
absent for some time, due to ill health
and we are glad to see him looking
SO good.
