Bud Suinor
Secretary OF
L. u. No. IL
Larry Finlay Given
Vote OF Thanks

Local Union No. IL at their meet.
ing Tuesday evening elected Frank
(Bud) Sainor, secretary treasurer
succeeding Larry Finlay who asked
to be relieved of his duties at pre-
vious meeting when he found the
activities of Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil of which he is president, occupied
most of his time. He was given a
vote of thanks for his term in office
The attendance was very good and
discussions lively and to the point.
The benefits derived from such dis
cussions more than pay for the hour
or two spent each Tuesday evening.
Our meetings are never long drawn
out affairs and it is a shame more
members do not attend and help to
further the interests of the trade.
We are still confronted with the
shortage Of help and all indications
point to no relief along this line.
Speaking of the postwar period,
wonder how it will feel to be able to
have the same mouldrunner and bat
terout for a full pay.
The situation at the w. T. Grant
Co. store found many taking the floor
to express their views. This concern
has openly stated that unless the
Clerks union signed a contract which
was drawn up by the company, they
will have nothing to do with the
union. The time to meet such a chal-
lenge is at hand and if the company
thinks they can come into a city

will find the Local taking action.
1t was revealed that some members
in the decorating shop were sweep
ing the floor during working hours.
Our health rules forbid any sweeping
while others are working.
A report from the Health Commit
tee was read and very well received.
A set Of rules was read and adopted.
This is a start on a good program and
other rules will be added from time
to time.
A change has been made in raising
the windows in the kiln shed, which
makes it possible TO receive fresh air
without creating a draft in the glost
warehouse.
We are looking forward to having
our national president with US in the
near future. His visits are always
welcome and we profit greatly by
them. We also have the door open
for any national official who can find
time to visit US.
Members who have shortages on
pay day are asked to contact their
foreman first before going to Miss
Wilcox in the office. If this is done
adjustments can be made more
promptly.

Price settlements on cups presented
before the Local at our last meeting
by the jiggermen brought forth q
lively discussion. These include the
New Saxon, New Tulip, Millershir
and Stack No. and 2. They will be
entered before the Standing Commit
tee for settlement.
The liners are still at sword points
about misunderstanding of a COM
mittee appointed in January. This
was ironed out successfully when a
new shop committee was appointed
for the decorators including Messers
Orrey, West and Caird. We hope their
efforts will be appreciated.
The employees of the No. clay
shop of the Sterling China Co. halted
operations one day last week when
the shop was filled with dust, due to
a car of clay being unloaded on a
siding. When called to- the attention
of the foreman, the machine was
turned off, but after a short time, the
machine again was in operation
showering dust all over the shop. The
Health Committee was called in on
the case and took the matter up with
the firm. The clayshop has and al
ways will have enough dust without
outside help.
$500 was given to the March of
Dimes, and in the opinion of our
members, could not be given to a
more worthy cause. We all know the
benefit derived from this organization
and only wish our donation was twice
as much.
The Entertainment Committee made
report of the party held last Fri

torium. The attendance far exceeded
expectations and everyone had a
grand time. Due credit was given Jess

job well done.-O. G. "a.

3 Fined For
Ignoring
Local S Call
New Shop Committee
Named For Plant 8

Ladies were in the majority at the
meeting Of Local Union 124 Tuesday
evening, resulting in members of the
fair sex taking the leading role in the
various discussions on trade prob
lens.
A new record for the Local was set
last month when Carlos Sayre, treas
urer, announced that the total amount
collected for dues paid year in aG-
vance amounted to 81, 1,609.24. In addi
tion TO the 10 per cent savings by
paying a years dues in advance, the
plan further assures your protection
in the Brotherhood by being in good
standing if the inevitable so happens.
Sister Lois Coleman was named in
spector and chairman of the Enter
tainment Committee, replacing Helen
Leatherberry.
A Decal Committee for Plant No. 8
of the Homer Laughlin China Co. was
named with the following being
chosen: Katherine Miller, Pearl Buz-
zard, Hazel Watson and Sara Davis.
Failing to answer summons to
appear before the Local resulted in
$500 fine being assessed three mem
bers.
Brother Henry Cresswell, statis-
tician par excellence, missed his first
meeting in a good many weeks. Henry
is always on the job and never misses
union meeting unless he is sick.
Better shine next Tuesday Henry, or
the boys will begin to worry.
Sister Lois Coleman has been given
new nickname on the shop. We men
tion this fact in case you pass her
bench and she fails to respond to
CHEEKY hello.
Two members were initiated and
their names added to the roll; one
card was issued and two
transfers granted. C. 124.

New York City QLNS).-Exploita-

Progress n Aluminium
Thsrapay
By w. ID. Robson, Medical Director,
Mcintyre Research. Limited,
Toronto, Ont.

The fifth of a series of articles
dealing with the efficiency of metal
lie aluminium as a preventive for
silicosis in humans.
Research In The United States
During 1910, DR.. j. w. G. Harmon,
of Washington, Pennsylvania, visited
Ontaria. He had been engaged in a
study Of silicoss as it affects the
ceramic and silica-brick industries.
Hearing of the success being had with
aluminium, he sought permission to
conduct on silicotics in his field an
investigation similar to that made at
the clinic i'm Porcupine.
The number of men being treated
by Drs. Crombie and Blaisdell was
not large. The utility of aluminium in
other industries where silicosis was
a hazard had not been proved. 1t was
felt, therefore, that acceptance of DR..
lannon's proposal would considerably
enhance the value of the research in
progress Accordingly, the request of
the American doctor was granted.
Application OF Aluminium Therapy
Since 1887, experiments have been
conducted at the Mcintyre mine to
determine the best means to apply
the use of aluminium in the preven-
tion of silicosis. Mr.. A. w. Jacob,
Ventilation Engineer of that Com
pany, has been in charge of this in
vestigation.
Control OF Aluminium Therapy
The use of aluminium in silicosis
therapy has been patented in most of
the principal countries of the world.
The reasons for so doing are as fol-
lows:
Q) We were concerned in the
earlier stages lest some outside party,
learning of our work, might apply
and obtain a patent, then attempt to
fit the process into commercial ven-
ture.
(2) We realize also that, whatever

Two Fires In
One Day AT
Local Pldnt
Loss Covered
BY Insurance

Damage estimated by the fire de-
partment at between $500 and 5000
resulted from two fires in one day at
the Speciality Porcelain Works on
Michigan Avenue, East End.
The first call was received at $40
a. m. and firemen extinguished blaze
in the kiln shed. They were called
back at 1912 by another fire which
had started in the adjoining clay
shops.
Firemen said that the blaze was
caused from kiln, the door of which
had been opened in preparation for
drawing" The loss is covered by in
surance. A large part of the plant
was destroyed by fire about six years
ago.

tude taken by the Company when the
controversy began in November
1943, when the Local entered negotia-
tions with the company to renew a
working agreement. A representative
from the firm met with officials of
the Union and presented them with a
contract which excluded a mainten-
ance of membership and arbitration
clause, both of which were embodied
in past contracts. The Local refused
to sign such contract and despite all
efforts to persuade the company to
carry on as they had in the past, with
a contract providing for maintenance
of membership and arbitration clause,
the compory refused to consider any
contract Z. ,dying the two clauses.
The auditih.. committee made their
report of finding the books in Al
shape and our funds solvent. The
committee was given vote of thanks
for their work as were the officers of
the Local for their efficient service.
Judging from the shop committee
reports, everything seems to be under
control. We are glad when we can
make such report and again we call
to your attention, this is due mainly
to faithful attendance at meetings
and keeping informed of conditions in
your trade.

tage he has won or been granted
unless he pulls himself together
right away and gets rid of his own
burden. That burden is, lack of
mass discipline, lack of respect for
the rights Of others, and true pride
in honest race achievement.
The war is going to end some
day and when it does, many of the
temporary advantages we have
won in the midst Of national hys-
terra are going to be taken away
from US by the white man flushed
with victory and with enhanced
pride in the abilities of the Nordic
to rule the world; including its
darker peoples.
Dark Future Looms
The prejudices which we fight at
home so valiantly are going to be
more vicious, and necessary to the
white man as he settles down to
reconstruction of his domestic So
cial order. First and foremost
among the reasons that will be put
forward why the Negro must be
kept in the status of a second rate
citizen or inferior being is that he
cannot control his own people. 1t
will be claimed that he must con-
stantly be supervised by whites
whether by policemen, lynching
mobs, or Jim Grow rules and regu-
lations) to avoid serious conse-
quences. to the overall pattern of
American domestic social and eco
nomic values.
The white man is going to point
to all the outward manifestations
of our lack of control as a basis
for his superior attitude; he is 60
ing to illustrate his case with the
increasing incidents of our juvenile
delinquency, pointing out cases
which he will contend stress char
acteristic racial tendencies. He is
going to show that Negro children,
masses of them are almost COM
pletely ignorant of the disciplinary
controls that go with American
family life and run wild through
thousand streets of as many
American cities until they either
settle down of their own accord or
are disciplined by the prison cell,
gallows or electric chair. He is
going to point out, in his argument
for his reason for putting increased
pressure on the Negro, that Negro
leadership is demanding and get
ting more economic and social ad-
vantages than the Negro public or
is ready to receive, that the Negro
of earlier generations (reared in
the fear of the white man, taught
by example to accept the inferior
status in which he was placed) is
tVDical of the kind of Negro to be
desired to live in the midst of the
"new white" civilization the white
man intends to build in this coun-
try, after the war.
