&C 4 Cites~-Need

At Meetings
Will Again Remember
Shut-ins At Christtnus

They say the pen is mightier than
the sword. Such being the case, your
new o. C. in his humble way will en-
deavor to point out the urgent neces-
sity Of members attending their meet
ings regularly. From time to time we
hear in the shop of the conditions of
the trade, and what could be done to
improve such. Yet, when the second
and fourth Monday of the month
rolls around, these same individuals
are conspicuous by their absence.
If we want a local to protect the
interests of our trade, there is only
one way that can be brought about,
attend your meetings regularly and
do your part in protecting your trade.
With the Christmas season at hand,
Local Union No. will again re-
member the shut-ins. Shop commit
tees have been instructed to solicit
you on the shop, and it is our earnest
wish that every member will give
generously. Let's help those who are
less fortunate than ourselves.
Brother Albert Hall has been
granted honorary membership. AL
ways an active member, we wish him
the best in life in his retirement.
The Standing Committee at their
next meeting will hear evidence on
the casserole from the Edwin M.
Knowles China Co. All those inter-
ested in this case, should make it
point to be present.

Strong Manufacturing
Company Buys Former
Oliver Sebring Plant

Sebring. = The old French China
Co., once operated by the late Oliver
Sebring, has been sold to the Strong
Manufacturing Company of Sebring
by the Stetson China Company of
Chicago, transfers recorded in the
Mahoning County courthouse show.
Walter Pfaefi, manager of Strong,
said no definite plans have been made
for Ghe property. The property in
cludes seven lots and large building
which has been leased for warehouse
purposes for some time.
The old French China Company
once one of the prosperous distric.
potteries, joined with a group of
other American pottery makers in
the late 20s to form the American
Chinaware Corporation. 1t failed in
1881 and was taken over by the Cen
tral United National Bank of Cleve-
land. The property was purchased
early in 1914 by the Stetson China
Company.
The property is listed on the 1943
tax duplicate at $4,000, including
allowed because the
plant has not been in use. Federal
revenue stamps totaling $3575 indi-
cate a purchase price of $32, 500 was

member to be present and help select

Although we have not been official

to receive our. 1914 vacation checks
for Christmas. We hope this report
is true as there seems to be lot of
dissatisfaction over the delay.
Last week we were pleasantly sur
prised when Brother Joe Stafford,
son of the superintendent at the

the shop following his return form

In a dispute over the payment of

Trenton, N. IA we'll attended
meeting was held by Local Union No.
45 last Friday evening. This spirit
should be shown throughout the year.
Discussions on our new agreement
are very important, but many vital
matters crop up during every meet
ing which merits your attendance and
active participation.
Nominations of local officers for
the coming term will be held at our
next meeting on December s and the
following Friday, December Is, will
be election night. Your selection Of
officials to handle the affairs of your
local are very important. We hope
to have the same record turnout as
we had at our last election of local
officers.

progress made on the protest over

ing the firm fora a grand evening.
Action spoke louder than words
upon being informed that employees
of the Fords Porcelain works were
facing an indefinite period of unem-
ployment, due to the tunnel kilns at
that plant being down for repairs.
Immediately after discussing the
situation with officials of our firm,
Local Union 174 by unanimous vote,
agreed to forego our overtime period
in hopes that they may take up en-
ployment with the firms who were
willing to hire the men.
Officers for the next six months
will be elected at our next meeting.
There are a number of candidates in
the field and we are looking forward
a fine turnout. Refreshments will be
served following the meeting.
Local 174 is very proud of their
record covering the past eighteen
months. We have not had one MEM
ber suspended for non-payment of
dues, fines or assessments. Some
months back, the local increased by
popular vote it's dues to $1.00 month
ly, and agreed to pay each member
SOC for attendance, namely the second
Friday in each month. We have given
this method a good trial and it has
worked splendidly, increased our at
tendance and improved the fellow
ship. We think other locals through
out the trade would benefit by the
adoption of the above plan, at least
there would be no harm in giving it
a fair trial-O.C. TIA.

The 60-4O split on the decal ma
chimes and the controversy over the
lining machine was the major topic
of discussion at the regular weekly
meeting of Local Union No. 124
Tuesday evening. With the recon-
vening of the conference scheduled
for next week at Headquarters, we
hope some settlement can be reached
that will prove satisfactory to both
sides.
Due to special meeting to be
called for all liners and gilders for
next Tuesday night, our regular
scheduled meeting has been post
poned until December 19.
The local voted to purchase $500
War Bond in the current drive. We
feel this is but small way we can
aid our many members who are now
in the service. Two health bonds were
also purchased.
A committee from Trades and La
DOR Council dropped in on the meeting
and informed us that the fiscal year
for the Central Body will start on
January /, instead of April. Dele
gates will be elected at our next
meeting.

Our new officers intend to see that

and staying there will face suspen-
sion and that means fine. Think it
over brothers and get paid up in your
dues. You may as well get what bene-
fits you can as long as your paying

With many questions up for dis
cussion, the meeting lasted little
longer than usual, however, through
the able guidance of President Kelly
who did not allow the discussions to
lag, the time passed fast and all dis

Of all parties involved.

a charge of accepting work in an un-
fair shop, Local Union No. POI at
their last meeting had no other al
tentative than to fine one of their
members 5000 and expell him from

The defendant i'm the case, Mr..
Perry Cunningham, thoroughly fami-
liar with the laws of the organiza-
tion, and the penalty imposed for
such an infraction, disregarded the
advice Of his shopmates and accepted
employment with the California Fig

Following a lively discussion over
the effectiveness of labor manage
ment committee, motion was passed
authorizing the chairman to name a
permanent committee. There is not
the least bit of doubt in any of our
minds but what this plan will be a
good thing if both parties show a
willingness to cooperate. 1t is work
ing satisfactorily in other plants and
will do so here, if all of US are will
ing to do our part.
The medical proposition proposed
by DR.. f. D. Tucker, was terribly
misconstrued on the shop. After dis
cussing the innovation from all
angles, the members understand it
thoroughly and will act accordingly.
Brother "Augie" Mazzie gave re-
port OF the activities of the shop com
mittee. We noticed in the report,
quite a few mouldrunners and bat
tersout are starting to work before
the scheduled time. The jiggermen
are responsible for their crews and
unless this practice is stopped imme-
diately, a penalty will be imposed

Paden City, w. Va.-Members of
Local Union No. 146 demonstrated
their enthusiasm for the sixth war
loan drive at their last meeting by
instructing their officers to purchase
a $4,000 war bond. The majority of
the members have pledged to buy an
extra bond this month in addition to
their regular weekly payroll deduc-
tion plan.
Chester Fox, chairman of the
Boosters Club reported that dona-
tions to the fund to purchase cigar
cites for the boys in the service broke
all previous records. Brother Fox
praised the officials of the Paden City
Pottery Co. for their splendid dona-
tion as we'll as the office force for
their contribution.
Since the first of the year the local
has collected $267.50 in fines for nom
attendance at meetings. To Helen
Buck and Cecil Haythorne we give
credit for their good work in collect
ing fines. The money will be put into
war bonds.
