Pdden City Potters
To Remember Their
Friends At Election
Congressman A. C.. Schiller
Responds To Appeal Of
National Head
PERSONAL MENTION
Locals Should Nome Cor
respondents Who Will
Fulfill Duties

Paden City, w. Va.-It is with eX-
treme pleasure that we announce to
the trade. the potters in the first dis
trict of West Virginia are one hundred
per cent behind the movement to re-
turn Congressman 4. G. Schiller to
Office. We will not forget the fight he
waged in our behalf when President
ping the teaching of the secrets of the
American pottery industry to interned
Japanese.
He has been Il friend of the working
man for years and we have not heard
of one single instance when they called
upon him. that he has let them down.
Hats off, brother potters, to Congress
man Schiller, he is doing just what he
said he would do.
A letter was received from Hon.
Chapman Revercomb, one of our Sena-
tors, stating that he has done labor
no harm. He states there is but one
union, the American people. We re-
member when he was Il candidate and
spoke favOrably Of the labor unions.
Labor remembers the promises you
made and will carry that thought to
the polls with them.
Conditions throughout the shop are
somewhat improved with the rennova-
ton of the rest rooms. 1t is q shame
that we have to ask repeatedly that Il
little thoughtfulness of some of our
members will help Il great deal along
this line.
We were glad to see so many local
letters in last weeks Herald. We have
the means of keeping one another in
formed of conditions throughout the
trade through the columns of our
paper, and we ask every local to ap'
point correspondents who will keel
up the good work

President Green Insists CIO Accept
American Federation Of Labor Terms

"ProSpectS of peace in the next six
months are not within the realm OF
possibility" Mr.. Green replied to
direct question.
Asked whether they would be any
better in the next year, he said that
they would not. since the juriSdictional
disputes between rival unions would
be heavy obstacle unless the CIO
accepted the AFL proposal.
The executive council authorized
Joseph 4. Padway. AF'L attorney. to
prosecute court actions in States which
have adopted stringent labor regula-
tory measures in the last few years
1t received report from Mr.. Padway
on suits seeking to restrain enforce
ment of such laws in Colorado, Texas,
Idaho, Alabama and Kansas.
Further Suits Planned
According to Mr.. Green, suits will
soon be started in Florida, North
Dakota and several other States.
The suits contend that the laws de-
prive American workers of their free
dom of speech and assemblage as
guaranteed under State and Fedora!
constitutions and that they would de-
stroy the effective operation of trade
unions.
The executive council expressed con-
fidence that the AFL would attain its
goal of $5OO,OO00OO Of war bonds pur-
chased by Labor Day and its members

Turn Following Pulling
By Federal Arbiter

Members of Local Union No. 130
employed by the Homer Laughlin
China Co. who have remained away
from their jobs pending a settlement
of their grievance with the firm re-
turned to their work on the three
o'clock turn Wednesday following a
decision reached by the Standing Com
mittee and federal arbiter.
The walkout which occurred August
. was brought about when the com
pany elevated a trackman to assistant
kilnfireman over fellow employee
who the union contended. had the
seniority rights and was entitled TO the
job.
The case at that time was presented
10 the Standing Committee for ruling
on the eligibility of the individual who
was entitled to the promotion. with
that body handing down ruling
which specified that the payroll records
of the firm should be checked with a
committee from Local Union 130 to
clarity the situation.
The local c0ntended the records that
We're made available We're not the pay
roll records. but merely cards that
We're handed in by the foreman. They
further stated that they were not per
mitted to see the cards. but only heard
the records of the two men read off
the cards in their presence.
President Duffy, SecretaryTreaSure
McGillivray and Vice Presidents Chad
wick, Turner and Jordan appealed IL
the men at two meetings they held and
urged them to return TO their jobs
pending a settlement.

members asked them to return to their

Miners Work Week Is Raised
To 48 Hours To Spur Production

eight hour week at mines designated
formity to the Smith-< <onnally Act, the
President signed the order
The action in increasing the miners
hours followed decline in bituminOus
coal production for the week ended
Aug. of 10000 tons by comparison
with the previous week, and Il drop
also in anthracite production. At the
time, Secretary IckeS pointed out that
the mines must continue to increase
their output each week if production
goals We're to be attained.
The bituminOus goal for 1943 is
6OO,OOO,OOO tons as compared to $780,
100000 tons last year, and a CORE
spending increase was asked in anthra
cite production.
A spokesman for the WLB said that
ceive time and a half pay for the extra
eight hours, just as they received over
time for the increase from 35 to ~
hours early this year. Some officials
said that the additional pay, which
would accompany the heightened work
week, would lessen somewhat the like
lihOod of further mine wage difficulties.
No date was set for the new work
week to become effective but, in view
of the critical coal situation, there was
every evidence that Secretary Ickes
would make it operative as soon as
possible.

Brotherhood Group
Insurance Benefits
Will Be Increased
$4.00 Per Day For Hospital
Core Will Go Into Effect
September lst

Effective September 1 In response
to popular request of our members the
daily hospital benefit as provided I'M
der the brotherhood plan of Group
Insurance is increased to S4.OO per
day The contract formerly provided
$500 per day. The hospital daily bene-
fit is paid in addition to any and all
other benefits payable under the policy.
Our investigation disclosed that prac-
tically every hospital now charges
more than $500 as the minimum for
hospital care.
The increase in hospital benefits is
another indication of our intention to
keep this, our own plan of Group
Insurance, up to date More than $780,
10000 has already been paid to our
members and the families of deceased
members.
The cost of the additional insurance
is 20 cents per month. however, due
and we stand to share in the profits
the cost is partly offset by a divi-
dend. The increase in payroll deduc-
ton will only amount to 10 cents per
person per month. The payroll deduc-
ton starting with September will be
S1.45 for women and S1.75 for men.
Each insured member will receive an
endorsement to be attached to this in
Surance certificate which will explain
fully the new cOverage. Due to the
manpOwer shortage there may be some
delay in receiving these endorsements.
Nevertheless, any insured member
who enters a hospital on or after
September /, 1913, will be entitled to
receive $4.OO per day for hospital care,
not exceeding 20 days in any one case
of disability, even though the new en-
dorSements have not been received to

Tuesday evening when several com

viOuS week, only to find no meeting.
This was discussed pro and con with
the ma ajority i'm favor of returning TO

day in September
There still seems to be some in doubt
as to whether the local has the right
to fine members who are notified t"
appear before the local and fail to do
so. 1t was the duty of the local to fine
several members lately, and when it
comes to collecting the fines it cannot
play any favOrites. There are rules
that must be observed by the local,
which are unpleasant at times.
Brother Roy Thompson is our dele
gate to the Ohio State Federation of
Labor convention in Columbus. Roy
has taken an active part in the affairs
of our union and we know he is
capable of doing a real job for us.
The appeal from the Red Cross for
equipment for Camp Shenango was
answered in the form of twelve card
tables which the trustees We're in
formed to turn over to this worthy
cause.

real job and our thanks were extended.
Brother Van Fossen, delegate to
Trades and Labor Council gave re-
port of the last meeting of that body.
1t seems some local restaurants still
insist in forbidding their clerks to
affiliate with the union. He urged all
members to insist on seeing the Union

in local restaurants.
The value of the brotherhood group
insurance plan was explained to the
younger members. This Is something
that we all should carry, and if you
examine their records you will find
that no better bargain in this day ana
age is offered the working people. Ii
you do not have it, sign up at once.

of Labor, said in announcing that the
executive council had completed the
report to be presented to the Fedora
ton in Boston Oct. IA.
He added that the AFL labor unity
committee had reported to the eNecu-
tive council that the Congress of In
dlstrial Organizations had refused to
accept the AFL suggestions organic for
unity.
Most of the hurdles to be overcome
are questions of jurisdiction, MI.

that these hurdles could be overcome
if the Go accepted the proposals we
made in 1888.

then we proposed that the Go unions

agree to come back to us, that then a
Joint committee be named to adjust

iusted all of the former AFL unions

Of Military Rule
Peril To Liberties
DR.. Robert E. Cushmdn Says
Danger Lies Ahead In
This Development

New York City GLNS)-"The in
trusion of military authority into the
civilian life of the nation is the most
serious danger to our civil liberties
at present" declares DR.. Robert r.
Cushman, Professor of Government at
Cornell University.
The civil liberties that are threat
ened today are not the same ones that
were endangered during the first
World War, according to DR.. CuShman
in IA new edition of the Public Affairs
Pamphlet, Safeguarding Our Civil
Liberties just published by the Public
Affairs Committee, 80 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York.
The special military areas eStab-
lished by the Army and the enforced
evacuation of thousands of American
citizens from these sections to federal
relocation centers cause the author to
believe that we appear, during the
present war. to have abandoned the
rule that martial law cannot validity
be in force side by side with civilian
law.
Warns On Martial Law
1--WE should watch with jealous SuS-
picion and concern he says, this
tendency to supplant civil authority by
martial law. Serious danger lies in this
development"
In the field of free speech DR.. Cush-
man finds no serious problems at pres
ent, although nearly 5000 persons were
prosecuted for alleged unlawful
speeches, publications, or meetings
during the last war.
And the brutal treatment of aliens
by federal officials, which was a ma
tional scandal during the last war, has
