Evening, Dec. 20

Local Union No. 9 has very i'm
portant business matters to trans
act Friday evening, Dec. 20, and
the officers Of the local urgently
request every member to make
every possible effort to be present.
First and foremost on the even
ing's agenda will be the election Of
delegates to represent the local at
the coming wage conference in
January.
New officers were elected at our
last meeting and will receive the
oath Of obligation at our meeting

Albert Dray; vice president, Fred
Bowler; financial secretary-treas-
urer, Roy Broadbent; recording
secretary, Laurance Brown; guard,
Thomas May; inspector, Richard
Wright; trustee, Hillman May.
Although he is leading the "life
of Reiley", so to speak, Matthew
Curran, veteran kilnplacer is on
hand ever Friday evening, rain or
shine. Few if any in the trade to-
day, can equal the record compiled
by Matt over the span of years he
has been connected with the organ

throughout the U. S.
Discussion of NAM public rela-
tions work shared big part Of the
conventions time. Outline of
MANS coming activities was set
before the delegates by the organi-

and mental telepathy land we'll
use them if necessary"

Urqenf Business
To Be Cleared Up
Before New Year

AS the directors of many big
corporations are saying at this
time of the year, there is much
to be done before the beginning of
the new year." so might that
axiom be applied to the business
slate of Local Union 1872, ware
housemen, packers and decorating
kilnmen of Sebring.
Since our next and final meet
ing of the year 1916 falls on Mon
day evening, Dec. %, two import
ant matters must be taken care
Of before the tolling of the bells
heralding the new year. First and
foremost is the election of officers
to head the Local for the first
six months Of l947, and the cleo
ton of conferee to represent us
at the wage conference which
opens in Washington on Jan. 10th.
1t is the wish Of the officers Of
the Local that every member make
special effort to be on hand next
Monday evening and clean the
slate before the curtain falls on
the old year.-O. c. 1872.

Jiqqermen Elect
Conferees At
Special Meefinq

Enthusiasm somewhat died down
since our special meeting on Sat
urday evening and the attendance
at the regular weekly session
Tuesday evening left little to be
desired. Perhaps we can lay the
blame on the weather man, but re-
gardless of the weather, the af-
fairs of Local Union No. IL must
be carried on and not by a choice
few, but by the rank and file of
the membership.
A lively discussion on free
sponges for apprentices brough:
forth several solutions that would
settle the problem, but the matter
was referred to headquarters for
final settlement.
President Guy Digman and
Harry Podewels We're elected con-
fereeS at the special meeting held
on Saturday evening, Dec. Ia. A
large attendance was on hand for
this important event, resulting in
spirited contests before the dele
gates were chosen. Five ballots
were taken before the winners
We're announced. By virtue Of Off
cial tabulation Larry Finlay and
George Lanning were named alter
mates.

Foreman Issue In
Supreme Court

Washington (FP)-The right of
foremen and supervisory employ
ees to belong to labor unions will
be decided by the U. S. Supreme
Court.
Announcement of the Supreme
Courts dicision to hear argument
on the famous Packard case came
late Dec. 9 after it had been Off
cially stated earlier that the court
had declined the Packard appeal.
No reason was assigned for the
change.
The Packard Motor Co. has long
contended that membership Of
foremen in labor unions would in
crease production costs and that
foremen are mot employees"

Lorge Turnout At
Last Meeting Of
Local Union 122

Cambridge, Ohio - The officers
of Local Union 122 were delighted
with the attendance at their meet
ing on Dec. IL. 1t was the best
they have witnessed for months.
Last weeks showing was fresh
confirmation Of the fact that a
good turnout invariably makes for
good meeting. The main business
of the meeting was the election of
officers for the coming term. The
results are as follows: President,
William Wade; vice president, Will
liam Rowe; recording secretary,
Arthur Ferber; financil secretary,
Francis Davis; treasurer, Earl
Johnson; defense secretary, Harry
Thompson; statistician, Joe Jones;
inspector, Harry Malpass; guard,
Lawrence Keats; trustee, Dales
Allison.
The election is over now, and it
is the duty of every member to get
behind the officers who have been
elected and to give them the bene-
fit of our support on every poss-
ible occasion. One of the helpful
ways of expressing this support is
by regularity Of attendance at
meetings.
To members Of s.o Executive
Board and the trade in general, we
take this means of wishing all
very Merry Christmas and happy
and prosperous New Year.-O. C.

AfMefuchen, N. j.

| Metuchen, N. J.-By the time
this letter appears in the columns
of the Herald the Christmas
party Of Local Union TIA will be q
matter of history and we hope
with favorable comment on the
creditable side of the ledger.
Our parties in the past have been
quite successful and we see no
reason why this years party
should be an exception. A very
active committee headed by John
Dudash and assisted by John Rae
inka, Pete Lucas, George Bandics,
AL Kish and John Kearston are
handling the necessary arrange
ments and we know these brothers
will overlook nothing in the way
of suitable entertainment for the
affair.
Officers were elected at our
meeting on Dec. 13 and those pick
ed to reign for the next six months
were Martin Pucci, president; John
Zanadsky, vice president; John
Karnas, financial secretary, and
George Bondics, recording secre-
tary.
From the members of Local
Union TIA to the trade in general,
A Very Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Next Meeting Of
124 Scheduled
For Jonuory 9TH

Although it may seem little
early to personally extend the sea-
sons greetings, that is exactly
what happened as the regular
weekly session Of Local Union 124
came to a close Tuesday evening.
The rushing of the season was
brought about when the members
felt that since our next two regu-
larly scheduled meetings falls on
the eve of Christmas and New
Years, the local should not meet
until Monday evening, January
7th. All members are urged to
make note Of this change and pass
the word along in the shop.

High Court Rules
In Teachers Pay

Lansing, Mich. (FP) - Detroit
public school teachers, by verdict
of the Michigan supreme court,
will collect $2,000,0O0 in back pay
and interest from the chiseling
board of education, and city fire
men and department of public
works employees are in line for
large sums too. This is the result
Of suit initiated by the Detroit
& Wayne County Federation OF
Labor in 1943, on behalf Of all
three groups.
The teachers suit was tried first
and separately because the board
of education is a separate entity
of government. The sock to the
city treasury Is one more heirloom
Of the Hoover depression.

|Hunnuh New
President Of
Local No. As
Returned Vets To
BE HOnOred Dec. 20

Trenton, y. Friday the 13tl
may be superstituous to some, bu
not to members of Local Union As
especially when there are import
ant business matters to be trans
acted. Waving aside the threat oi
superstitution and following tht
old axiom, "the better the day, the
better the deed" record turnout
was on hand for the election Of Of
ficers for the next six months. Re-
suits are as follows: President
Robert Hannah; vice president
George Smith; financial secretary
Elijah Watson; recording secre.
tary, Lance Ansell; treasurer
John Richards; inspector, John
Harrison; guard, John Cooper, Jr.
trustee, Is months, John Burns
conference committee, Is months,
John Cooper, ST., and James Ac-
ton.
All members who left Local As
to join the armed forces during the
recent struggle and returned after
discharge are now accounted for
we believe and the last five to be
demobilized Brothers Leo Gadeb-
ska, John Harrison, Edgar Shu-
man, John Nowalski and John Wis
niewski will be honored on Veter-
ans Night, Friday, Dec. 10Th, fol-
lowing our regular meeting.
The affair will be in charge of
the veterans, previously discharg-
ed and we know they will do full
justice in paying homage to their
former buddies. We are looking
forward to banner turnout for
this event and urgently request
every member to be present. En-
tertainment and refreshments will
be provided.
Bro. Tom Elson has retired from
the trade and is applying for hon
orary membership. Russell Post
lethwaite is confined to his home
with illness but we hope he will
be back at the bench shortly.
Frank Martini was admitted to
membership recently and John
Rephart transferred from Local
Union 40. We wish that all men
coming from other locals would
see that they are transferred i'm
mediately, thereby saving them
selves a backlog of dues and as
sessments as well as a lot of extra
work for our collectors, shop COM
mittee and other officers.
Santa Claus is just around the
corner and we hear unofficially,
has a turkey in his bag for us
once again. Rumors also are cir
culating that five days is to be
the order of Christmas and New
Years week, working Saturday at
overtime rate instead of the holi-
day which we believe is acceptable
to the majority and would not be
compulsory to any small minority.
Arrangements have also been
made wherever possible. tn a t
night crews will have Christmas
and New Years eve without loss
Of time.
We hope all our members will
have a very enjoyable time and
Local 45 extends the same good
wishes to the Executive Board and
all members of the International
Brotherhood.O c. As.

oVcTdIi increase In wage rates
without raising prices and without
reducing profits from the 1868
level after taxes.
Charts in the report showed that
prices increases of the past six
months have been as great as all
OF the increases made in the so
month period after Pearl Harbor.
Taking the year 1916 alone, with
careful estimates of the fourth
quarter, Nathan found that net
profits of corporations show an in
crease of "a per cent from the first
to fourth quarter. Income of farm
proprietors for the same period is
up 28 per cent, while the increase
in wages and salaries during 1916
amounted to a bare 8 per cent.
The report sharply rejected the
theory that labor should "abstain
from requesting wage increases"
in order to avoid further economic
and social difficulties" 1t warned
that the present imbalance between
wages and profits is unsound and
can be terminated only by a re-
cession. "Unless there is an i'm
mediate increase in wages or a
sharp drop in prices, we are flirt-
ing with collapse" Nathan report
ed.
There is on evidence to date to
indicate that business will cut
prices prior to a depression in
which unemployment, declining in
comes and shrinking demands will
make price declines unavoidable.
This is too higi q price for bring
ing wages and profits into sounder
alignment.
ut would not do labor or the
public or business any good for
labor to forgo the needed wage in
creases. Rather, raising wages
without raising prices offers the
only currently possible means Of
bringing about the kind Of rela-
tionship which will avoid serious
decline in business activity"
In explaining the salient facts
of the wage-price-profit picture,
the report said IAN increase of
about 10 per cent in hourly earn
ings in manufacturing is required
at the end Of 1916 to bring real
hourly earnings back to the jan
