the discussions.
Vice President Slaven gave a report

After routine business was taken

President james M. Duffy
Attends Meeting Last
Friday Evening

Salem, OhiO.-A large turnout greet
ed our national president on his visit
to Local Union ~ last Friday evening
We have heard our president on a
number of occasions but the members
here feel that his talk Friday night
was one of the best.
In answering numerous questions
which We're asked him, President
Duffy brought to the attention of the
brothers and sisters the red tape and
formalitieS one has to go through these
days to get a decision on any quest
ton that pertains to wage adjustments
for the working man.
He cited recent meeting with the
labor concilliator from the War Labor
Department in regards to filing re-
port with that department for an
increase in wages. which was sane
toned by the last wage conference in
East Liverpool in December. Two days
was spent in compiling our data which
was forwarded to the regional office in
Cleveland.
From there it goes to another com
mittee for their sanction and if ii
meets with their approval, then goes
to Washington before the officials of
the Department of Labor. These things
take time and when you become nasty
in your remarks. think OF these things
and what your officials have to go
through.
He told of receiving complaints at
Headquarters of members being in
Structed by our local draft board to
secure employment in defense plants.

fled as non-esSential, and he warned

SILICOSIS BILL UP
Verbal Agreement With
Mould Shop Committee
Overlooked In Rush

Trenton y. Local Union a. does
not have as much to report this week
but several very serious matters have
come UP.
Vice President thinner, Organizer
Solon and the mould shop cOmmitte
met with the firm and discovered that
no request for an increase in wages
was asked Of the War Labor Board
for them after our conference last
October.
There was a verbal agreement that
their case would be taken up as the
firm admitted they were underpaid,
even though they had received the
limit under the Little Steel Formula
Through a slip-up on the part of all
parties this was not done.
We are beginning To feel it is time
labor got together and forced this
issue that these requests be acted on.
On every side patience has run out and
the results may be very serious in the
next few months if something is not
done soon.
On every side the enemies of labor
are accusing Us of lying down on the
job, but ii seems To Us that if labor
had acted the way some others are
doing, the war would have been lost
long ago.
Labor is tired of waiting and is on
the verge of taking things into their
own hands. They are as patriotic as
anyone, but prices have been allowed
to 90 up and are still going up while
wages are frozen.
A collection was taken up for the
Red Cross last week which we be-
lieve was very successful and we are
more than glad to contribute To all
worth while causes. The only Objec
tiOn we have is that we feel in all
charities the overhead should be kept
as low as possible. We are making
many sacrifices and are proud 10 do

JOY by members throughout the trade

called upon all congressman AMI
Senators who had pottarieS in their

to the attention of the proper au-
thorites our protest and complete dis
satisfaction with such un-American
activities.
The pottery industry is one, that
in most favorable times has not been
able to compete in American markets
with the cheap pottery that is manu-
factured in Japan and if the proposed
plan had been put into effect it GER
tainly would add to our troubles in
the postwar period.
President Duffy was loud in his
praise of Congressman Earl II. Lewis
Of the 18TH district and Congressman
4. G. Schiller of the 1St district of
West Virginia. for their untiring ef-
forts in our behalf These gentlemen
have certainly proved to be real
friends of the working men and women
