OFFICIAL OF POTTERY
SOCIETY TO VISIT HERE

Arthur Holiins, general secretary
of the National Society of Pottery
Workers, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent,
England, notified President James M.
Duffy this week of his intended visit
to the United States in May.
The visit which is sponsored by the
British Pottery Research Association,
has for it's primary objective, an in
vestigation of the layout of the vari-
Gus plants, working hours, wages and
the collective bargaining relationship
as practiced by the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters.
Commenting on the proposed visit,
the Brotherhood chieftain stated, it
marks the first time an official of the
Society ever visited this country and
Brotherhood officials will be glad to
be of any service they can to further
the interests of the pottery workers
in England.

Return OF
Skilled Workers

Cleveland, o. QLNS).-Warning of
the American Federation of Labor
nearly two years ago that vital war
production would suffer if too many
skilled workers were taken by the
armed forces was recalled here by
union members when the National
Tool Co., announced it had offered to
guarantee a 25 per cent jump in pro-
duction if military authorities would
trade so skilled employees in uniform
for SO other men from it's shops.
The company is engaged in produc-
tion of great Importance to the mill
tary services.

men from our plant who were drafted
and inducted," said Samuel ]. Korn-
hauser, president, "and have submit

the statement that if these men were
returned to their former duties in our
plant, we could increase our produc-

MOVE AGAINST UNIONS is SEEN:
Bill Proposed To Allow Servicemen
To Vote BY Mail In NLRB Elections

sentation case involving four Chicago
printing trade unions at r. r. Dom
nelley & Sons Co. (The Lakeside
Press), anti-labor printing and pub
fishing firm. The management re-
fused to bargain with the printing
pressmen's and lithographers' unions;
their argument was that the service
men from these departments (many
of whom are union members) did not
have a chance to vote by mail in the
NLRB election, and that the number
of these servicemen was greater than
the union majority.
In hearings before the NWLB, the
company proposed to poll the service
men by mail. George Meany, NWLB
member and secretary-treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor,
pointed out that the company would
haveb no legal right to do so. The
NWLB ruled against Donnelley's di-
recting the company to negotiate
with the unions.

Don't Fence
Us In Says
Scribe Of SO
All Must Suffer
For Few Sinners

Clarksburg, w. Va.-We notice in
the Herald that the Free Trade
Union Fund campaign to raise
81 100000 to aid in rebuilding free,
democratic trade unions in Europe
has been extended through the month
Of February. We regret that Local
80 has taken no action to support this
worthy cause, but expect to do so at
our next meeting. The National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters has
endorsed the drive, and in the words
of President Duffy, 'if the Brother
hood is to receive due recognition
with other labor organizations en-
dorsing the drive, it is necessary that
we make a creditable showing" This
can be accomplished if every member
will give at least fifty cents.
Signs have been posted throughout
the shop prohibiting employees from
leaving their department and visiting
other departments during the noon
hour without the consent of their
foreman. This reminds US of school
days when we had to raise our hand
and ask the teacher to be excused.
The reason for this drastic action as
the sign indicates is, to stop the
enormous loss of ware which is being
carried from the plant. Maybe some
have been guilty of this
but it seems a shame every
one must suffer for few sinners. We
wonder if locking the doors at night
and employing night watchman
might solve this problem. A better un-
derstanding between the Local and
the firm has been made possible
through the Labor Management COM
mittee and we hope acts of this kind
do not disrupt them.

Cincinnati QLNS). : The Brother
hood of Railway Clerks has asked all
lodges in New York and system
boards of adjustment whose lines go
through the state to write Senators
Wagner and Mead of New York, as
well as members of the House, in op-
position to the st. Lawrence water
way project.
Reasons for railroad labor's hos
tility to the St. Lawrence project are
summarized by the Railway Clerk in
an editorial which says:
at is true that all of the railroads
are not entirely agreed in regard to
the st. Lawrence project. Western
lines, where freight movement would
not be affected, are reported to be
lukewarm in the fight. And, while the
railroad unions have been sympa-
thetic to projects like IVA, where
railroad employment has not been ad-
versely affected, it is felt that the st.
Lawrence project is an exception.

Chicago (ILNS). - Self-styled pa
triots here are promoting legislation
which would allow servicemen to vote
by mail in National Labor Relations
Board elections at plants which en-
ployed them prior to their entrance
into the armed forces.
They have drawn up a bill which
would amend the National Labor Re-
lations Act to permit such vote.
Sponsors of the legislation include
Thomas A. Patrick, publisher of the
Illinois Republican and the Illinois
Republican War Veteran, and Will
liam ]. Grace, head Of the Citizens
USA Committee, who was prominent
in the Republican Nationalist Revival
Committee. Enactment Of the bill
would make strikes AMI court relief
for unions virtually impossible.

Local MOurns Loss
OF Samuel Baker

Beaver Falls, Pa.-Although it has
been two weeks since any news from
Beaver Falls has appeared in the
Herald we wish to inform the trade
We are still going strong and promise
to keep the trade more up-to-date on
the activities of Local Union SO.
We are mourning the loss of an
other member, Samuel Baker, who
made the supreme sacrifice November
2, 1914. 1t had been quite some time
since his wife had heard from him,
but she, like other wives and sweet
hearts kept up the morale on the
home front by looking forward to the
day for his safe return. The news
came as a terrible shock to all his
friends. His death makes the fifth
gold star on our Honor Roll.
Frank Capo has received word
from the war department that his
son, Lony, has been repatriated and
will arrive home soon. We are all
anxious for his return after being
German prisoner for almost year.

VALUE AS WATERWAY DOUBTFUL:
Railway Clerks Point Out Why Labor
Is Opposed To St. Lawrence Project

Completion of this project would
divert the bulk of the wheat move
ment for export to the st. Lawrence
waterway because steamships would
be able to dock at Great Lakes ports
thus by-passing eastern railroads
which now carry this freight. This
would undoubtedly seriously decrease
railroad employment on eastern lines.
while the value of this project in
securing lower electric rates in the
New England area cannot be ques-
toned, it's value as a waterway is
open to doubt. Iower electric rates
could be secured by valley authori-
ties on New England rivers at far
less cost.) Enormous public subsidies
will be necessary to make the st.
Lawrence navigable for ocean-going
vessels. Even when completed, the
project would be navigable for only
seven months a year.

Trenton, n. Local Union 40 is
having some very interesting meet
ings; problems are continually being
solved and valuable information

that some detectives have not been

Vice President Walsh occupied the
chair at our meeting on February 8,
due TO illness in the home of Presi-
dent Warner, but we are glad to re-
port he was able to be on hand at our
last meeting.
The Local was not satisfied with
the results from the conference held
with the firm on January II and an
other session was scheduled for Feb
ruary 20. Details will be published in
our next letter.
Brother Earl Ellis who underwent
an operation at a Philadelphia hos

their kind act and takes this means
of expressing their thanks. Brother

which also was appreciated.
An invitation was received from
Local Union 49 for all our members

LOCAL UNION NO. 25
TO SUPPORT CLERKS

Following in line with other Local
Unions of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters, and organized
labor in general, in this district,
Local Union No. 25, packers, at their
last regular meeting passed resolu-
tion calling for a $25.00 fine for any
member found guilty of crossing the
picket line at the w. T. Grant Co.
store.
Further confirming the above ac-
tion taken, the Local went on record
to make a cash donation to the Re-
tail Clerks Union, to aid them i'll
their fight.
The attendance at our last meeting
showed an increase, but there are
still many who do not take the op-
portunity afforded them on the sec
ond and fourth Thursday of each
month, to further the interests of
their trade.-O. c. 25.

and Organizer George Pace Brother
Pace was called upon to administer
the oath Of obligation to a large class
of candidates and did splendid job
in a most impressive manner. We
have been looking forward to having
Vice President Hull with US for some
time because Of several complications
in the shop concerning the interpre-
tatlon Of our agreement with the Po-
mona Tile Co. Brother Hull read the
agreement and explained the mean
ing of each clause, at the conclusion
Of which each member present was
convinced we have a very fine agree
ment which completely covers each
and every phase of our job operations
down to the last minute detail.

attention of our membership, the inn
portance of each individual under
standing the provisions of the con-
tract and adhering to same at all
times. Several violations of the con-
tract were reported and the shop
committee was instructed to meet
with the management and insist upon
religious adherence to the intent and
purpose of the contract. We are sure
the management will cooperate one
hundred per cent in this matter.
We have under consideration at
present request from the Los An

Aluminium 1hsrapy
In The United States
BY ]. w. G. HANNON

The sixth of series of articles
dealing with the efficiency of me-
tailic aluminium as 4 preventive for
silicOsis in humans.
Introduction
Following the experimental work
of Denny, Robson, and Irwin, and the
clinical investigation by Crombie and
Blaisdell, an investigation of alum
mum therapy was begun at Washing
ton, Pa, which is situated in a very
large industrial section of the state.
Some of the men to be studied were
from plants manufacturing silica
brick, refractories used in steel and
glass manufacturing, and semi7porce-
lain tableware; others were workers
in foundries, sand blasters, and men
engaged in the quarrying of canister
rock. This group of wOrkmen gave
an opportunity to study the effects of
aluminium on various types of silicosis
which differed somewhat from that
found in hard-rock miners.
Exposure
In their occupations, the men
studied were exposed to silica dust

Sebring Officials
Head Wheeling Firm

Wheeling, w. Va-Last week the
Limoges folks took over the rens in
the future conduct of the Warwick.
There have been ideals" and "rumors
of deals" in the air for months. Now
all speculation is ended, and the tran
sition Of Warwick control from local
to Limoges is an accomplished fact.
Renovation, remodeling and general
improvement are on the way, if
credence is to be given the transfer
item appearing on page one of our
local press.
From what can be CLEANED from the
Herald, and former Limoges en-
ployees, a capable, considerate and
efficient management is now at the
helm of the Good Ship Warwick.
They sure have a herculean task be-
fore them in putting this woefully
rundown factory in modern running
condition. While it is little early to
express opinions on the prevailing
spirit of unity that obtains, it seems
safe bet that relations between our
new employers and Local Union No. 6
will be pleasant.
Lack of dependable and efficient
labor is still the great problem here,
and there is also fear that reclassif-
cation of some of our ATS in key po-
sitions may seriously disrupt our
working schedule. But, like other
semi-essential industries, all we can
do is to wait-and hope.
While we are not fully aware of
the circumstances that led up to the
departure of Brother Harold Loeffler,

mended by the National brotherhood
of Operative Potters, there can be no
doubt in the minds of any of the
members, but what the move was a
wise one. The plan which has the in
dorsement of all organized labor in
general, not only gives us more pro-
lection, but assures every worker
who is enrolled, further protection
against the mishaps' which may oc-
cur while we are performing our
daily tasks. With members of organ
lied labor at the helm of the newly
adopted Group Insurance Plan, we
can rest assured our interests are in
capable hands and will be protected
by those who are interested in the
welfare of the working man.
Plant No. l in the past year has
seen some very extensive improve
ments including a new paint job, in
side and out, a new drive way, con-
venient parking space for employees
cars and complete new wiring job
which will mean new modern light
ing system. As soon as conditions
permit, an up-to-date lunch room will
be in operation, all of which will be
appreciated by the employees.
A new spraying outfit is in opera
tion in the decorating department
which attests to the increased busi-
ness in that line. Brother Patterson
will be the new operator.
Brother Leroy Paxton who has
been confnedA to his home with i'll

Laws Of The Local
Will Be Enforced

Regardless of the number of times
the Local has gone on record in sup
port of the officers in carrying out
the laws of the Local, there seems to
be doubt in the minds of some mem
bers, just how far the Local can GO.
Such was the recent case when three
members were assessed a fine for
failing to appear at recent meeting
after they were duly summoned. This
puts our officers in a peculiar situa-
tion for in carrying out the duties re-
quired of their office as prescribed in
the Constitution and Bylaws, no
doubt make few enemies.
We do not intend to sit back and
see our officers be subject to such
abuse and, if further complaints
along this line are reported on the
floor of the Local, a penalty more
severe than a $500 fine will be i'm
posed.
We are very sorry to announce
that Brother Hugo Miller will leave
us soon to enter new fields Of adven-
ture. Hugo has been a trustee of the
Local for a number of years, and in
addition to chairman of the social
committee, is member of the Deco
rators' Standing Committee. The lat
ter position clearly indicates his
knowledge of the trade and his leav-
ing will be great loss.
Paul Miller, his brother, has been
named by President Armstrong to
take over the reins of the Social
Committee and his first official act in
his new job was the announcement
