the 1900 hours requirement en-

Local Union 124 was host to many

always glad to have members from

Brother Duffy's remarks centered
largely upon paid vacations for mem

Operative Potters, as granted by the
War Labor Board. Going back 10
January of 1913, when the original
petition together with request for
wage increases was filed with the
WLB, President Duffy outlined the
course taken by our National officials
and the efforts put forth to secure paid
vacations for members of the pottery
industry.
We thank President Duffy for his

invited President James Nj. Duffy in
to explain it. Previous to this we had
only the usual rumors drifting in.

was finally decided to grant the pot
ters one days vacation for each years
service up until five years, or In other
words, to receive 5-day paid vaca-
tiOR. you had to be employed five years
in your particular plant. BY diplomacy
and fate we were able to have this
ruling reconsidered with the outcome
being our present vacation plan, which
calls for one weeks vacation with pay,
for one years service record.

vacation with pay for l943, the actual
date governing the vacation, ETC., will
