Organizer George Pace favored US
with an interesting report of the high
lights of the recent A. +. of l.. Con-

concluded one of the highlightS of the
the \. +. of l.. convention was Il smear

were disappointed that it wasn't broad
cast as was the Commanders speech.
We also noted the public press pub

failed to publish President Green's
reply.
Brother Pace recorded that he had
Il splendid and enlighenng trip and
that his attendance as Il delegate to the
American Federation of Labor will be
of great value and assistance in his
future activities as Organizer. He eX
tended to the trade his deep feeling Of
gratitude and appreciation for having
been hOnOred as delegate.

We We're somewhat surprised to read
in the columns of the Pottpr'S Herald
| in Local Union No. 9'S article that
rumOrS were current to the effect that
the National Agreement was being
grossly violated in the California Pot
terieS with whom we have agreements,
and that it was necessary for PreSi-

West Coast Office. We wish to thank
our National President, James NJ.

in our behalf with Local Union No. 9
where ii seems he gave the facts CON
Cerning the California situation. We

job and we dare say our National
Agreement is respected and adhered 90

as is the case throughout the trade. We

concerning the actions and general atti

ployer$ from hiring workers. We ull-
derstand the program provides for al!
labor to be hired by the United States

might be, were SLY per hour WAS un-

trade in the pottery industry, he would
be compelled to report to the United
