State Federation of foLabor, ap-
peared before the Senate Judi
ciary Committee meeting in Co.
lumbus last week, opposing Sem
ate Bill ~, introduced by Sen

The bill which is an admins
trative measure would prove to
be a serious handicap to work

procedure, the bill would aid to
the confusion and red tape.
Every effort is being made to

"Now that the so-called labor con-

Of the conference, a lawyer in Mexico
City announced that he was going to
the United Nations Conference at San
Francisco in April as one of the rep
resentatives of the conference to
speak for all the workers of the

mediately was called upon for a few
remarks. "Cotton" is an old hand at
the game and his advice and counsel
is always appreciated. Too many
times do we find some sass. our mem-

members can find time in the near
future to honor US with their pres

there seems to be more apprentices
employed than there are journeymen

President Frank Hull reported VILE
approval for one weeks paid vaca-
tion for each employee with one
years continuous service record as OF
July l, 1945.
The vacation plan provides that
vacation pay for piece workers shall
be equal to pc of straight time an
nual earnings of the employees dur
ing the preceding twelve months. And
time workers shall receive one week 5
vacation pay to be computed on a
straight time hourly basis, based on
regularly scheduled work week, but in
no case will exceed forty-eight hours.
The members of Local Union No.

ton in our behalf. The vacation fea-
ture was mutually agreed to by the

While cooperation in the health
program has been very good, we still
have one very bad condition that we
feel should be attended to immediate
ly. The power whirlers IN the bowl
jobs throw quite a bit of dust and
right into the faces Of three or four
employees who work nearby. If equip
ment cannot be obtained to remedy
this condition, the writer suggests
that the power whirlers be replaced
with hand whirlers.
With the hot summer months COM

possible to have few shower baths
placed in the shop. This plan has
been suggested several times, but as
yet, no action has been taken.
