The Union Label Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor has shown unusual progress ac-
cording to its Annual Report released
by |. M. Ornburn, the Secretary Treas
urer. after the meeting of the execu-
tive board recently held in Cincinnati,
Ohio.
The report reveals an increased
number of affiliates to the depart
ment, a healthy condition OF the fl
nances, greater activities in every
field, and steady expansion in the
services.
Secretary-Tr Treasurer Ornburn show
ed that there was an increased trend
of consumers, especially members OF
labor unions and their families, toward
Union Label goods and Union serv-
ices. The demand on manufacturers
for the union label and upon service
establishments for the shop cards and
service button has steadily increased.
A greater stimulus has been given
to the union label campaign since the
war ended. Now that civilian goods
are again being placed on the market

phrase is used by employers to mean
destruction of the Wagner act, which
was passed to improve labor's pre-
viously unequal bargaining power.
Both Mosher and Pres. M. w. Gle
ment of Pennsylvania Railroad, who
offered the other plan, called for fact
finding bodies of "disinterested citi-
zens" to pass on the issues in any in
dustrial dispute. But it was generally
agreed that no management represen-
tatives would concede that such dis
interested citizens would have the
right to look into their records OF
costs, prices and profits-the only
basis on which labor might agree to
such plan.
Clement also demanded that labor
agree to 5O-day cooling-off period IN

tion and later by mediation. After ne

Life OF veferon
Trenton Potter

Camden, N. ]. = 1t is with regret
that we, the members of Local Union
No. 80 announce the passing of Broth
er Karl Schmidt. Bro. Schmidt was a
member of the Brotherhood for many
years and had to give up his position
at the bench at the Camden Pottery
in April, 1945. He was one of the
twenty original members of L. U. so
when it was re-organized in 1914.
Shortly after giving up his work at
the bench. he entered Philadelphia
hospital, where he underwent an oper-
atien, in an effort to relieve the ef-
fects of cancer, but with little success,
and he succumbed to the disease on
November 20, l945. Burial was made
in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.
Born in Germany, July 13, 1876. He
came to this country in 1901 and
worked at his trade for ii years in
Trenton, later working at the Great
Western Pottery in Kokomo, Ind, for
a period of 9 years. When the general
strike of the sanitary trade occurred
in 1922 he came back to New Jersey,
taking employment with the Camden
Pottery, where he remained continu-
ously until i'll health forced him to
retire. He resided in Oaklyn, New
Jersey.
He is survived by his widow, Martha
Schmidt, one son and one daughter.

four new buildings, two at plant No.

ing in all approximately $4,000 square
feet of floor space. When completed
this will mean additional storage room

Your O. C. has been informed that
this equipment has been ordered and
the mobile unit for X-raying the en-
ployees is due in Cambridge shortly.
Since everyone is becoming more
health conscious, l am sure this news
will be deeply appreciated.
Another added feature in the ex-
pansion program and one | am sure
will meet with the approval Of all jig

Washington-(FP).-As the labor
management conference struggled to
an end, industrial leaders began Nov.
26 issuing tipoffs to Congress and the
editorial writers on how to strangle
labor.
Unsuccessful in having their pro-
posals accepted in the conference, two
management men went to the news
papers with plans to destroy the Wag-
ner act, make unions subject to bank
rupting law suits and to set up time
consuming "fact-finding" bodies that
would be denied access to necessary
information.
Pres. Ira Mosher of Natl. Assn. OF
Manufacturers led off with a mild
sounding demand that unions not re-
sort to strikes, boycotts, slowdowns
or stoppages "until every means for
a peaceful settlement" had been ex-
hausted. Industry, he said, was willing
to pledge no lockouts. He did not re-
fer to blacklists, speedups or disciple
nary layoffs.

his proposal, however, where ne de-

for every post with the following

er; financial secretary-treasurer,
Francis Cubberly; guard, Harry Pode-
wells, George Lanning; statistician,
Ernest Terrence; inspector, Robert

game.
President Kelly in turning the gavel
over to Brother Digman, thanked the
members for their wonderful coopera-
ton during his term of office and
urged the membership to extend the
same cooperation to his successor.
Beginning the first of the year a
new set-up pertaining to shop commit
tees on the various plants will be put
into operation. The new plan has been
discussed at our last few meetings
and while some feel the new set-up
will not be the answer to our prob
lem, the majority are of the opinion
that it is worth a tryout. Every men,
ber is urged to attend the first meet
ing in January when the names OF
those chosen to serve on the commit
tees will be announced. Perhaps you
may be the one selected as the repre-
sentative from your respective shop.

Mr.. Green, therefore, rallied all

declarations of labor, city central
bodies and directly affiliated federal
labor unions - to join in the fight
against the Smith bill, and, above all,
to enlist their full membership in the
campaign.

of this communication" he urged in
a circular letter. "Organize cam

locality of the country in opposition
to this proposed anti-labor legislation.
Call upon the friends of labor to work
with you, to communicate with their
representatives in Congress along with
YOU, and call upon them to vote
against this legislation"
Ironically enough, the new legisla-
tive onslaught against labor was en-
gineered by Representative Howard
Smith of Virginia as an added starter
to his proposed repeal of the obnox-
ious Smith -Connally Act, which has
proved collosal failure. Rep. Smith
was one of the co-authors of this bill
which was designed to prevent strikes
but, in fact, tended to encourage them.
His new measure has been denoun-
ced, not only by labor, but by many
conservative newspapers which have
forcefully pointed out that it may ag-
gravate the tension in labor-industrial
relations.
Nevertheless, the House Rules Com
mittee gave the measure priority OF

At Next Meeting

Local Union 124 had very well
attended meeting Tuesday evening
and although nothing of major impor-
tance was up for consideration, spir-
tied discussions followed all topics
brought before the local.
We were very glad to see the
stampers' committee from Laughlin
No. present and make their report
on the controversy at that shop. AS
evidenced in their report, the commit
tee is doing a good job and although
the customary squabbles are bound to
rise from time to time, every effort
is being put forth to adhere to the
laws covering the agreement.
AS our last meeting in this month
falls on Christmas, members of the
various shop committees have only
two more meetings in which to qualify
for their attendance record or face a
penalty. This fact is called to your
attention at this time in order to
counteract any attempts to come be-
fore the local asking leniency, due to
only three meetings being held this
month.
Local Union 124 is doing their share
in order that the city's quota in the
Victory War Bond drive will be
achieved. Action was taken at the
meeting instructing the trustees to
purchase a $500 bond.
Several members were suspended
for non-payment of dues and the axe
will fall on others unless they clear
up their arrearages by the end of the
year. The local hates to take this ac-
ton but since all have been duly noti-
fled and failed to make any arrange
ments for settlement, there was moth
ing left for the local to do but sus-
