by the employers will be about $4,000
600. Mr.. Feinberg explained that ap-
prOXimately 5000 workers would be
eligible for retirement within the next
few years. Each will receive 5000 a
year.
The retirement fund will be ad-
ministered by commission to consist
of an equal number of representatives
of employers and employees, with
three additional members representing
the public, to be chosen by the en-
ployer associations and by the union.
The employers contributions to the
fund will begin Jan. l, 1914. The fund
will begin functiOning within three
years, as soon as a specified reserve
fund is accumulated. Details of the
administrative machinery are to be
worked out by the commission when
it is created.
Creation of the retirement fund
marks the only major addition to the
old agreement for the industry, which
is to be renewed after May 81, with
a clause providing for readjustment of
wages in the vent of further rises in

After an absence of two meetings
due to nursing an injured leg as re-
suit of an accident outside the shop,
your O.C. was back on the job Fri
day evening.
The attendance was not large, but
there We're some fireworks so to speak.
1t all came about because two appren-
tices went to the National head with n
complaint instead of bringing it to
Local No. 8 first. However, the matter
was finally disposed of by union
vote that we live up to the October
1942 supplement to the agreement,
which specifies that apprentices shall
serve eighteen months on the glost and
eighteen months ON the bisque when
ever the change can be made without
the necessity of discharging kiln
man from the opposite crew.
In the discussion it was brought out
that two journeymen kilnmen would
have to be discharged in order to send
two apprentices to the bisque to serve
their eighteen months, since there
were no apprentices put on the bisque
side. Every member should bring their
trade problems to the local first be-
cause the local knows the answers in
most cases. and to all apprentices we
urge you to attend your local meet
ings regularly. In SO doing you will
receive first hand information and all-
lightment on union principles and en-
able you to avoid. t'.f. harsh unjust
criticism you sometimes may hear
from stay-at-homers, whose blasts
against unions are based on prejudice
and half-truths which hurt uniOnism

naits Report Of Meeting
With Firm

Trenton, n i'm spite Of the fact
that the ma jority of our members had
excuses which justified their being ab-
sent from our last meeting. the busi-
ness Of the Local was carried on to the
best of our ability.
Vice President Charles thinner gave
report of Il meeting of the Confer
ence Committee with the firm last
Monday afternoon. A request was sub
mitted that vacation pay be on the
basis Of a six-day week instead of
forty hours as at present 1t was dis
cussed at length and pointed out that
our members stand to loose three days
pay where it IS necessary to use one
day emptying mouldS, etc.
Mr.. Atkins read several rulings OF
the War Labor Board on this ques-
ton, all Of which are against the en-
ployees, but promised to send In
request that our case be granted and
if approved by the board he would
be glad to go along with us.
A request for two weeks vacation he
said was out of the question at present,
mainly because the men could not be
spared for that long a period and the
firm might have 10 ask our members
to work their vacation week due to the
labor shortage.
Some of our members have a habit
of starting to work at the earliest pos
sible minute in the morning and work
ing as hard as they can 70 until their
allotted time Is computed, perhaps TAX
ing an average Of ten minutes for
lunch, sacrificing safety and good
workmanship In some cases for speed
in order that they may finish their
day an hour or so before quitting time

CompdresStdtusOf

"Wdges" Of Men In Armed
Forces Higher Than Av-
erage On Home Front

There has been so much loose talk
concerning the status of men in the
armed forces compared with that of
workers in industry that the Office OF
War Information has felt it necessary
to issue a statement clearing up many
misconceptions.
Captain Eddie" Rickenbacker and
other labor-haters have been trying to
arouse distruSt and hostility between
our fighting men and soldiers on the
home front. They have sought to make
it appear that the average worker
earns as much in a week as a private
soldier gets in a month.
The o. w. /. knocks that fallacy or
the head. In the first place, it shows
that the average worker does not gel
$50 week, and then it points out that
the total compensation of a soldier is
much more than $50 month.
Soldier Gets S1,7OO A Year
In addition to his basic pay of 5000
loweSt-paid soldier receives food, shell
ter, clothing. medical, dental and hos
pital care and other allowances and
benefits that bring his total earnings
to $1,7O0 year. The average for all
men in the service would be much
higher.
On contrast, the average earnings OF
industrial workers, as reported by the
latest figures of the Department OF
Labor, are $32.51 weekly, or S1,69O. 81
