Q. G.. Worms
President Duffy
Attends Meeting

Local Union 80 will vote for Ma
tional officers and delegates to the
AFL convention at their next meet
ing on Thursday, March s. In order
that all those who may be working
night shift will have a chance to vote
for those you think best qualified to
serve you, the polls will be open from
! 100 p. m. until the close of the meet
ing. We hope every member will take
advantage of this opportunity and
cast their vote on March s.
President Duffy dropped in at our
last meeting and gave US a very good
talk on organizational affairs and the
progress we have made over the past
years. Outlining the procedure our
National officials must take in pre-
senting our problems before the War
Labor Board, he gave a detail re-
port of how our vacation with pay
was gained and the efforts put forth
by members of the Executive Board
in our behalf.
We hope it will not be long before
the various governmental agencies
will be thing of the past and we
can sit down at the conference table
and negotiate an agreement as we
did in the past. Too many of these So
called Government experts, do not
understand our conditions and we do
not feel they should be the ones to
make our agreement.
A very enjoyable time was had fol-

Why Throw
Cog In Wheel
Of Progress
Lend Your Efforts
Along With Others

Clarksburg, w. Va.-Local Union
SO met last Monday evening with all
officers at their respective posts
Since fine was imposed for nom
attendance, the attendance has in
creased with each meeting and we
are GLAD to see the interest displayed
by our members i'm the Locals tran
sactions. We noticed quite a few new
faces at our last meeting and was
glad to see these individuals enter
into the various discussions.
The only sour note in the evenings
transactions was voiced when a reso-
luton to abolish the non-attendance
fine was presented. The ma ajority
were at loss to understand just why
such a resoluaion should be intro
duced, in view of the fact the prog
ress we have made since it was put
into effect. With the majority of
Locals throughout the trade planning
now for the postwar period and the
protection of our jobs, it behooves
each and every member of this Local
to do his share along this line. To
those individuals who feel otherwise,
and willingly shift the burden to their
fellow workmen, the writer is of the
opinion that the fine should be in
creased, instead of abolished.
The excessive dust from the power
whirlers was brought to the attention
of the health committee and the
Local was assured this matter would
be taken up at once. Dave Bevan will
substitute for Sister Riley on this
committee until she recovers from her
present illness.
'Auggie' Maize made a very short
shop committee report which proves
that the Labor Management, shop
committee and health committees
have less complaints to handle when
the members get better understand
ing of the part they have to play,

The Recording Secretary was in
structed to write the state represen-
tatives, asking their. support on sew

We are proud to report we have
done something about the Free Trade

New Contract
Discussed By
Trenton Local
Present Agreement
Expires In May

Trenton, N. 1.-THE tempo OF
union activities is increasing at the
meetings of Local Union ITS. This il
due to the fact that our contract with
the American Radiator and Standard
Sanitary Corp, Trenton plant, will
be up in the near future.
Our meetings as l have stated in
the past have always had record
breaking attendance, achieved per.
haps by the penalty of a dollar fine
imposed upon non-attending mem
bers.
AS all unions have experienced, at
the time of negotiating new con-
tract, the full support of the Local is
needed to arrive at satisfactory
plan concerning conditions through
out the shop. Therefore, we want to
say that the harsh ruling of a one
dollar fine for non-attending men,
bers is really paying off with divi-
dends. Committees working on the
new contract which becomes effective
on May 4, are being guided by the
full strength OF the Local.
President Clawges who is highly
looked upon as an ardent leader by
the entire Local, expressed his sin
cere appreciation for the splendid CO.
operation and attendance offered by
each individual at our last meeting.
Touching upon the fine improvements
in working conditions at the plant, he
stated, the congenial atmosphere was
made possible by our organization
and the superb cooperation of Mr..
Kelly, plant manager and his able
staff.
We are looking forward to the
signing of new contract satisfac-
tory to our union and the plant man.

The old saying, "When you have a

present as President James Kelly
raped the meeting to order.
Discussions were lively and to the
point, with the chief interest being
shown in a resolution presented for
the first reading, to abolish the fifty
cent fine for non-attendance. Many
took the floor to voice their opinion
as to the adoption or rejection of the
resolution. Some were of the opinion
that the present system has proven
to DE satisfactory, while others were
of the opinion that it created hard
ship upon them. The latter statement
to the writer's opinion, is entirely out
of line with the policy of organized
labor. Are we to Judge by such state
ments that compelling members to
uphold their rights and maintain de-

have fought for years to attain, is

New Research Center Opens
By ESTELLE BOND

Cambridge, Mass, March 9--CUP) A psychologist who fought for his native Germany in World War to- day opened an unique research cen- ter here which aims to teach people how to be good neighbors.
 Dr. Kurt Levin, director of the new research center for group dy- nainics, said that in broad way he and his staff will try to find out how people can live together most effectively and amicably.
 First such organization of its kind, the research center was established under an original grant by Marshall Field III. It's purpose is to analyze group behavior scientifically in an effort to discern the motivations which direct society
 "As our daily lives become in- crcasingly complicated, the average man must learn more and more about what makes a Democracy" pr. Levin explained. We must dis cover and understand the qualities that 30 into a Democratic leader and ultimately our findings may even be applicable to aiding world peace"
 However, the affable 54-year-old scie3tist said the project would be conducted in a practical vein and with MT and Harvard graduate students studying group behavior.
 We are starting with the prob- lems at hand he said. We want to be able to solve problems in indus try, in minority groups, in commit mites, even in clubs"
 pr. Levin said that while each person in his daily life is part of some group, there has been so little scientific study of communal be- havlor that the individual must bungle along doing his best even though his best may not be good enough.
 Group dynamios is just as much science as physics" he asserted. People don't live in masses; yet we've had much more work done on mass psychology than on group pat terms"
 Besides groups in the United States, the cultural backgrounds of other nations must be studied, Dr. Levin declared.
 The project opening today he said, is a tremendous one" which will be taken step by step and kept down to earth"
 At the outset, he added, his re. search will take the form of field cxperiments in communities and factories as well as laboratory work. A former professor at the Uni. versity of Iowa. Dr. Levin has lived in this country for IS years. For the past nine months, he has been full. time consultant to the Omce oi Strategic Services at Washington and still works there in 6 part-time capacity.
