increased selling prices to offset the
1874 cent hourly wage increase grant

CIO To Join AFL

Sydney, N. S. QLNS). All the
bricklayers and masons employed by
the Dominion Steel & Coal Co., which
operates one of Canada's largest steel
plants here, have separated from the
CIO Steelworkers' Union, and Joined
the AFL Bricklayers, Masons, and
Plasterers' international Union, as a
group, linking up with the Sydney

Application has now been made by
the Sydney local of the AFL local to
the regional labor board for official
certifcation as the collective bargain
ing agency for the bricklayers and

The Steelworkers' Union refuses to
give up their claimed authority to
bargain for the bricklayers and
masons as well as the steel workers,
and have opposed the application. A
hearing by the board will be neces-
sary, at which both sides will present
their cases. This is the first instance

at their last regular meeting com
pleted plans for party for all ex-
servicemen of Camden Pottery to be
held on Saturday evening Sept. IA, al
our regular meeting hall, 1884 Me-
chanic Street.
For several weeks we have planned
to play host to our veterans but fof
various reasons, such as vacations
night work and a six-day week, a
satisfactory arrangement, whereby
nearly all could attend, was practical

carry out our plans and everything is
in readiness for the gala affair.
Brother Frank Krause heads the

Truck Drivers Moke More Then
Bosses---Says Company Spokesman

New York (FP)-Mere college pro-
fessors and company executives are
put in the shade by plain truck
drivers who pull down as much as
$1,000 year, according to nice OBJ
jective observer, Joseph M. Adelizzi,
spokesman for two big New York
truck operators groups.
Adelizzi's figures, splashed in the
afternoon New York Sun Sept. O.,
brought polite outlaws from truck
drivers whose 4-day old strike for
more pay has cut off the city from
virtually all normal supply channels.
Recording Secretary Harold Will

three locals involved in the strike, de-
scribed the employers figures as

they were putting in Is and 20 hours

"What Adelizzi forgot to mention"
he pointed out, "was that there were
also plenty of guys only working one
and two days week and it would
take them almost month to get a
decent weeks pay"
The highest paid driver, who oper-
ates 28 to SO foot long tractor-trail-
er, gets $64 for 51a-day week. A
driver of 7h-ton truck gets $58 for
a 51h day week, 5-ton truck drivers
get $3.50, drivers of ordinary 1-ton
trucks get $51.50 and helpers get
$46.50. In terms of soaring living
costs, union spokesmen pointed out,
the driver who gets $3.50 today can
buy only as much food, clothing,
shelter, etc, as he could have with

MeSSersmifh War
Talk Confirmed
Despite Denial

Chicago (FP) Despite official
State Department denial, a 2-columr
front page story in the Chicago Sun
Sept. confirmed an exclusive FEEDER
ated Press report Aug. 26 that
George S. Messersmith, ambassador
to Argentina, had called for U. S.
Latin American lineup for an "inevi-
table" war with Soviet Russia.
The Suns story, from its Buenos
Aires correspondent, said all Ameri-
can correspondents in the city knew
of Messersmith's talk before the
American Legion Post Aug. and
that most of them had confidentially
informed their home offices about it.
Since the speech was a socalled off
the-record affair, none of Messer-
smiths remarks were published here
until Federated Press correspondent
in Rio de Janeiro got wind of them.

ated Press report in every detail
At press conference in Washing
ton Sept. der-Secretary Of State

Of the report had been sent to Mes

Gulf Oil Meets
kMU Demand For
Shorter WorkWeek

Detroit (FP)-The sixth of II
Great Lakes shipping companies
against which the National Maritime
Union struck for a shorter workweek
signed up Aug. % as the Gulf Oil Co.
met NMU terms.
The agreement guaranteed the A
hour week in port and AZ hours at
sea that the NMU has established as
the basis for settlement with other
companies.
Texas Oil Co., last of the tanker
outfits, will open negotiations with
the NMU in New York shortly and
another carrier, the Interstate Steam
ship Co., is in the midst of negotia-
tions in Cleveland.
Three railroads operating car-ferry
services on the lakes obtained an in
junction prohibiting the NMU from
picketing or interfering with car
ferry employees, thus violating an
agreement with federal conciliators
that they would take no action
against the union or union members
when 1000 seamen returned to work.
The men went back to the union,
faced with knotty question of gov
ernmental jurisdiction, decided they
should petition for the shorter work
week under the railway labor act.

New Attendance
Record Set At
Outing Of LU 20

Clarksburg, w. Va.-The annual
picnic of Local Union SO held recent
| ly at Laural Park set an all-high at
tendance record. From the minute
festivities began early in the after
noon up until the close of the dance
in the evening, there was never a dull
moment throughout the day.
A sports program featuring athle-
tic events for young and old with cash
prizes for the winners, featured the
afternoon program. This was fol-
lowed with the highlight of the day
a softball game between representa-
tives of the kilnshed and the clayshop,
with the latter group coping the
prize. The game was protested by
the manager of the sagger hustlers in
the third inning, following close de-
cision at first base.
After winning the first game in
the County Softball Tournament,
thanks to the fine pitching by Bro.
Fazio's no-hit masterpiece, the local
pottery team was debated in the
second game by St. Brigets nine
which went on to win the champion
ship. The boys put up a good game
but it was just not in the cards for
them to come through. Better luck
next time fellows.
Bro. Frank Heflin and Sister Doris
Menear are now one and the same.
The happy couple recently treked to
the altar and had the knot tied. The
best wishes of the local are hereby
extended them, and we might add,
we are not alergic to cigars and

Following the parade a program of
sports contests, stunts, softball ex-
hibitions and numerous other events
held the interest of the crowd
throughout the day, with not a SER
ious accident to MARI the days fes-
tivities.
The main speaker Of the day was
none other than our national presi-
dent, James NJ. Duffy, whose stirring,
timely and interesting address was
one of the main features of the day.
The audience that heard Mr.. Duffy's
message listened attentively and was
deeply impressed.
Using as his text, Foreign "isms"
have no place in the American way
of life and will not be countenanced
by American Federation of Labor, the
Brotherhood chieftian stressed the
vital need of American labor to keep
its ranks cleared of persons who
would attempt to destroy organized
labor by boring from within. He ac-
cused the Communists, Fascists and
other foreign "isms" Of being a men
ace to labor peace and prosperity and
that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor would not tolerate
such in its membership.
Pointing to the tremendous contri-
button organized labor made to VIC
tory in World War ii, President
Duffy declared it was a source of pa
triotic pride to all American Fedora

Construction Work
Causes Loyoffs
At Buffalo Shop

Buffalo, n. YIN order to make
further excavation for the new kiln
a layoff has been ordered starting
this week at the Buffalo Pottery
This will affect the whole plant, the
length of time depending in which
department you work. The glost kiln
is being shortened in order to make a
new passageway, and this involves
shutting down the glost kiln and Dip
ding department. The glost ware, lin
ing, decal and print departments will
be able to work as long as they have
ware and room. The clayshop with the
exception of the Zero night shift
which is already down, will work until
enough ware is made TO take care of
the kiln, which is slowed down to
eight cars day.
Bro. Roy Bailey, handler, has re-
turned to East Liverpool after work
ing few days here. His inability to
find a place for himself, wife and
child to live was the reason. Besides
being skilled workman, Roy has an
amiable disposition and we hated to
see him leave Buffalo.
A number Of rules are being writ
ten to cover the most important
causes of accidents that have occurred
in the plant the past year. The firm
is going all out in their efforts to re-
duce accidents on the plant and every
member of the local is urgently re-
quested to aid them in what ever
manner they can.
How about a bowling league for the
plant? Time is getting short and very
few have expressed themselves as yet.
There is plenty of good bowling ma
terial here and if the interested ones
would talk the matter over, we could
have a nice group to represent the
Buffalo Pottery.
We wish to extend our sincere sym
pathy to Jean Brodnicki in the death
of her father.-O. c. rs.

accord on wage issue, Mr.. Green said
"In view of the fact that an agree
ment was reached in a full and open
way through collective bargaining
and was signed by both parties, it
should remain in effect.
The agreement was concluded at
time when the OPA and the Wage
Sterilization Board has ceased to ex-
ist, due to the legislative lapse. The
Shipping Board approved the in
creases, but when Congress revived
the OPA and the WSB the latter
board turned thumbs down on the
plan. 1t notified the ship owners
and the Seafarers Union that the
agreement could not remain in eff
feet"
Under the agreement reached by
the ship operators and the unions, the
Sailors were granted wage increase
of $3.50 month and the Seafarers
a raise of $2750 month. The WSB
however, refused to permit a jump of
more than $3.50 a month.
More than 5000 American vessels
and an estimated 10000 or more sea-
men were reported involved in the
stoppage, which saw huge stores of
supplies Of every description piling up
on docks and in warehouses. Mem
bers of many unions allied with the
shipping industry ANNOUNCED they
would refuse to cross picket lines.
Meanwhile, the Association of Ameri-
can Railroads clamped an embargo on
railroad shipments to ports to help
relieve the unprecedented freight con-
gestion.

Record Crowd On
Hand For Outinq
OF Jackson Chino

Falls Creek, Pa.-The first annual
picnic for employees of the Jackson
China Co. has come and gone, but
the memory will linger on. Judging
from the enthusiasm displayed at the
days outing it cannot help from be-
coming an annual affair.
The picnic was held at Hands Park
near Du Bois, Pa, Saturday, August
81 and over $50 were in attendance.
The days program got under way at
! p. m. when Chairman Jack Jones
and his able committee started the
ball rolling with slate of athletic
events that furnished many a thrill
throughout the day. The children as
well as their parents were contestants
in many of the races, with cash
prizes going to the winners.
A picnic lunch was served through
out the day which included ham and
cheese sandwiches, sliced tomatoes,
celery, coffee, ice cream and soft
drinks. This was followed by corn
roast in the evening and the way the
corn disappeared it was evident that
the potters had no small appetite.
The outing which was arranged in
order that the new owner of the Jack
son China Co. might meet the en-
ployees, proved just that, and in the
words of Mr.. P. r. Distillator who
flew from his home in New York to
attend the outing, "It's just one big

as the result of a protest by unionists
