here June 6 in the senate committee

the Senate Office Building.
Due to the powerful dairy bloc,
margarine has long been subject to a
heavy tax of 10c pound and under
a legal prohibition preventing it from
being colored by the factory.
Senator Smiths bill says mar
garine is wholesome, nutritious and
inexpensive table fat manufactured
from agricultural commodities. AS
such, it is necessary to the proper
nourishment of lOw-income groups,

papers of conducting a smear cam

Treasury Counts Upon Labor To Put
Fifth War Loan Drive lover The Top

leadership of organized labor has rec
ognized in this program an unusual
and acceptable way to help win the
war, to fight imitation and at the same
time, to protect the future welfare OF
the workers themselves, according to
James l.. Houghteling, director of La
Dor Relations for the War Finance
Division. This is one reason why men,
bers of organized labor have been
buying hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of Series e War Bonds every
month, he said.
"Our experience in the Payroll Saw
ings Plan and in the sale of extra War
Bonds during drives has proved that
the best statesmen to reach and per-
suade any given group of workers are
their own leaders - union officials,
shop stewards, and the like" HOugh-
telling stated.
1.-The country owes a great debt Of
gratitude to it's thousands Of volunteer

Washington, ID. C.-Organized labor

which will start on June IL, and run
to July s. Secretary of the Treasury
Henry MOrgenthau, Jr., announced
that the goal will be $4,000, 100000, of
which $6OOO,OOOOO0 is to come from
sales of War Bonds to individuals.
I'm the Fourth War Loan" Secre-
tary MOrgenthau said, individuals in
vested $4,000, 100000. In planning to
get $6,OO0,0OO,OOO in individual sales
in the Fifth War Loan we are asking
the American people for more than
ever before Fifth War Loan goals were
set high because the nations treasury
must borrow a great deal of money
this year to keep the war going. We
will need more than twice as much as
we can expect to get in taxes"

Treasury in the spring of 1941, the

Next Meeting
Support Of Every Potter Is
Expected In Fifth War
Bond Drive

Local Union No. S6 met in regular
session Monday evening with Presi
dent Joe Hester In the chair
Next Monday nights meeting should
be well attended as we will nominate
local officers and then June IL will be
election of officers. Don't forget to be
present for both meetings.
Surely all of the ladies are not
planting victory gardens, or are they
just using this as an excuse to stay
away from the meetings? We are sure
you will derive SOME benefit if you
will attend the sessions and aid us in
taking care of the problems of the
trade.
With the Fifth War Bond drive on
it's way, we know each and every
potter will do all he can to help put
it over. A few of our members attend
ed the meeting held last "Wednesday
evening at Headquarters, but we will
need more support from the ware
hOusemen. President James M. Duffy
appreciates our support, so let us go
all out in this drive.
We fail to understand why some of
the manufacturers go back 25 or 80
years and give some of their ware
housemen 5la cents per hour more
than the others. When they have gain
ed SO much from collective bargaining
this idea will not work out any better
now than 1t did in the old days.
Don't forget, come out to the meet
ings and lend your support.-O. c. SO.

The seniority question on the plant
is again in the news. Quite debate
was held at the meeting. In the last
contract there was a clause that the
older employees receive the preference
for the better jobs and then when our
contract was renewed this time, the
company representatives refused to
sign the agreement with this clause
included. Rather than hold up the sign
ing of the contract, the clause was
omitted and it has been regretted ever
since.
When the contract was signed, omit
ting this clause, President james Nj.
Duffy issued the statement that the
company must give the older men the
preference or the local membership
would be bringing it up all the time.
The time has come for the local mem
bership to make up their minds as to
the kind of seniority they want--plant
or Experimentation it into effect and
make it stick.
