LOckhart Retires
With Good Record

Backing up their pledge made
some months ago to support the Re-
tail Clerks Union in their .contro-
versy at the w. T. Grant Co., Local
Union 130 at their meeting last Fri
day made a cash donation to aid in
maintaining a picket line in front of
the local establishment. To those
who were not present at the meeting
and to all members in general, we
wish to inform them that the $500
fine imposed on those found guilty of
crossing the picket line is still in eff
feet.
Shop committee reports from the
various plants indicate that every
thing is under control. To maintain
this condition it is necessary that we
be on our guard at all times and at
tend the meetings and keep informed

Buffulo Shop
Sets Record
In Drive
Hold First Meet
ing In New Hall

Buffalo, n. Y.-Local Union rs had
the largest turnout they have had for
sometime, largely due to the primary
election for National officials, social
held following the meeting, and the
first session in our new hall.
Fredro Hall was a disappointment
to some of the members. 1t is prob
ably more centrally located than any
hall we have previously had, but we
must consider everyone when select
ing a hall. Probably with an intelli-
gent discussion at our next meeting
on March 16, everyone can be con-
sidered.
To just refrain from attending
your meetings is no way to run a
successful Union. Remember the well
known passage, Every kingdom di-
vided against itself, is brought to
desolation; and house divided
against a house, falleth"
A report of the Red Cross drive re-
vealed the success that can be OBJ
tanned through the proper coopera-
ton of Labor and Management. The
sum raised through solicitation Oil
the shop was two-thirds better than
last year and we extend our thanks
to the following committee: Frank
Szankiewicz, glost packing, shipping
depts. Carl j. Heintz, glost kiln; Gus
Schwager, glost kilndrawing and dip

last year. In order to meet this quota
it is necessary to increase our pledge
of former years.
This year every skilled worker is
asked to contribute $3.50; semi
skilled, $3.50 and the lower paid
workers, $500. Contributions will be
made through the payroll deduction
plan and will be taken out of the last
pay in March and the first pay in
April
The Red Cross call is not an ap-
peal to our charity. Rather it is
simple notification to US of our OPP
portunity to do, in the only way pos
sible, what we would gladly do in
person for our men in battle. To give
quickly and unsparingly to the fund
is the surest way in which we can
help those who offer their lives for
our safety and the savings of all that
we hold dear.
The Red Cross is no vague, inn
personal institution imposed upon US

Bedford, Ohio.-News items from
Bedford have been few and far be-

are still going along out here since
we have dug ourselves out of the
snow. Some of our members were

were impossible, even for snowplows

Strike Man-Day Losses
Near Zero In January

Washington, d. C. QLNS)-Strikes
and lockouts in January were fewer
than any month in 1914 and caused
an almost infnitesimal loss of time,
compared to total time worked, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, reports.
A total of $4,000 workers were in
volved in the 240 January stoppages,
causing 22S,O00 man-days of idle
ness, amounting to three one-hun-
dredths of l per cent of the available
working time.
The number of workers was about
half the total engaged in December
strikes and less than any January
since 1882.

Los Angeles Labor Assails
Peacetime Military Draft

Los Angeles (1LNS). - Because
peacetime military conscription "has
been used repeatedly in Europe as a
weapon against labor" the Los An

fcially denounced the proposal that
peacetime conscription be continued
after the war. The resolution says
that the CONSUMPTION criticism is
based on the idea that the individual

Appreciate Visit OF

Clarksburg, w. Va.-Whenever an
opportunity arises, take advantage of
it, such was the comment heard
throughout the shop last Wednesday
which led up to Local Union No. SO
calling special meeting for that
evening when we were informed
President Duffy and Seventh Vice
President Jordan would visit the
plant to clear up several disputes
which have been hanging fire for
some time.
In addition to the satisfaction re-
ceived when the plant controversies
were cleared up by their afternoon
visit, the knowledge gained by their
wise counsel at the evening meeting
more than paid for the few hours we
spent in session. Touching upon
working conditions as exist today,
pertaining to health standards, Presi-
dent Duffy cited numerous instances
where we can help ourselves, such as
wearing clean clothes, throwing all
refuse in barrels, and refrain from
splitting on the floor. An explanation
of how much dust accumulates on an
apron and how the movements of the
arms in performing our daily tasks
releases this dust to be inhaled by
others as we'll as ourselves, brought
a vivid picture to everyone. The
health rules adopted by the Local
provides for clean clothes at least
once a week, and oftener will never
be amiss, as health can never be
by dollars and cents.

was decided at our last meeting when
a committee was appointed to formu-

will be announced in a few weeks.
Brother Bill Hibbs who did such a
grand job at our party in the sum-
mer was again asked to head the
committee, but due to other pressing
business, declined the appointment.
His successor no doubt will aim to
surpass any party we have held in
the past and to accomplish this, the
unexpected must happen. Members of
the Executive Board who were in our
midst and attended the last party,
pronounced it one of the finest they
have ever attended. We are looking
forward to having them with us again
for this event. Entertainment will be
of the highest calibre, with Eddie and
