Beaver Falls, Pa.-Although this /.
your O. C.'s first letter to the Herald
l will try in my humble way to report
the trade activities of Local Union No

The attendance at our meetings has
been fairly WELL considering the large
number from this local who have
answered their cOuntrys call. Fitting
ceremonies TO mark the dedication OF
a service flag for these members will
be held at our last meeting In May and
we are looking forward TO the best
turnout of the year. 1t behooves every
member to be present on this night tO
pay homage to their buddies. The LO
cal has purchased two service flags
one to be hung in the hall and the
other at the shop.
Due to his many duties outside the
organization, which requires the ma jor
portion of his time, Brother Lloyd
Cook has rendered his resignation as
a member of the shop committee.
President Bryan named Brother Harry
Shook to fill out the uneXpired term.
Any member who is not receiving
the POtters Herald should turn in
their name and address to our secre-
tary at once.

Hoffman Wants Courts To Decide
When Government Con Seize PIonfs

Washington (FP). = If there was
any doubt about the purpose of the
furOre in Congress over the seizure of
the Montgomery Ward plant in Chi
cagO, Representative Glare Hoffman
OR, Mich.) cleared the air with a reso-
luton introduced May 1.
Hoffman, whose bias against the
Roosevelt administration and labor
unions is widely known, offered an
amendment to the Smith-Connally act.
Under terms of this resolution the
federal government would be author
lied to seize plants only when Z. s.
District Court holds that more than
half of its production goes directly to
an agency of the L. S. government for
the prosecution of the war, or to Il
contractor or sub-cOntractor of such
agency for like/purpose.
The amendment would permit the
widest use of appeals and motions and
re-hearings that are so well known to
the legal profession and tie the War
Labor Board into SO many legal knots
that employers would actually be en-
couraged to ignore its orders.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1944-05-04

Another resolution calling for the
investigation of the Ward seizure has
been introduced by Representative
Charles Dewey Or, Ill) Dewey boast
ed 70 newspapermen May l that he
had received lots of fan mail follow
ing that action and invited them to
inspect the letters.
Most of Dewey's mail did cOngratu-
late him, but at the same time Ii was
almost all from people with vicious
anti-Roosevelt turn of mind One, from
Jackson, Mich, and signed simply An
American" said:
Roosevelt is not interested In Amer
lea nor American interests. His mother
made lot of investments in England
a few years ago. The American people
are such suckers as to send England
almost everything while Americans are
bled white. The Z. s. had no business
getting into this war"
Other letters called for the I'M
peachment of the President.
The Dewey resolution will be re.
ported to the house promptly. Repre-.

Voting Under New
Law. Hunndh Urges
Locol Unions Asked To Aid
In Success Of Armed
Services Bullotinq

Soldier voting under Ohio's new law
will be highly successful If suggestions
of Phil Hannah, secretary-treasurer OF
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
are needed.
A brief description of the new soldier
voting measure, enacted alss. special
session of the 95th General Assembly
last week, is that relatives Of members
Of the armed forces and auxiliaries
may apply to boards of elections for
ballots, and after certain information
is furnished, the boards of election
will forward ballots to service mem
bers.
Hannah, In a communication to Lo-
cal Unions and Central Bodies,
analyzes provisions of the law, and
strongly urges all AFL members to
encourage soldier voting by taking full
advantage Of liberal clauses in the new
measure.
5 IF you are a relative of a member
Of the armed services" he said, "file
an application now with your elections
board for an information blank and
ballot, and the information blank will
be mailed to you on or after Aug. 8.
If you know relatives of persons in
the services, urge them to also file
applications"
The Federation of LabQy secretary
called attention to these points in the
law:

ing in the armed services, the Red
