Wheeling. w. Na.-Fully aware that
while reminiScing has its appeal to
the older members of our craft, it is
\ not so interesting to recent additions,
ESQ your O.C.. this week will refrain
from ancient memoirs and will discuss
items of current interest
First, I would like to comment on
the warehouse situation here. AS I
understand it, our Standing Committee
has it under consideration in fact,
has had it for some time. ! hope this
does not mean intprnment for the
duration. Would also like to read COM
ment from sc to learn if there has
been Il feminine invasion, and if there
has, how they have handled it. 1t
seems to be understood that women
and girls were to receive mans
wages for Il mans work. If the fair
sex has been doing warehouse work in
the East Liverpool section, have they
entered this branch of the Trade on
an equality with the men?
Fully aware that both skilled and
unskilled workers have been taken
from plants in such numbers that
operating now is most difficult in
many pOtteries, it has been source
of almost continual shifting. However,
this does not mean that employees can
he taken from low priced jobs and
placed in better paying ones at the
low wage scale. If wOraB and girls
are to fill in on mems jobs In the
warehouse because of the manpower
shortage it is only fair and just TO
give them the pay called for in our
Scale There seems to be a lot of
hair-splitting as to just what cOnSti
|mteS warehouse work. This should be
clearly defined. so that shifts to this
kind of work would automatically
bring the pay that warehouse duties
entities the worker to.
Another query l would like to make
concerns active membership in a local
by fOremen or fOreladieS. The person
who is head of a department naturally
owes first allegiance to the firm. When
Il question comes up involving an EN-
plOyee's rights; the head of the de-
