Aufomofic Jigger
Adds Grief To
FiniShers Trade

The attendance at the meeting o.
Local Union SO has shown marked
increase over the past several weeks
and is due namely to the dissatisfac.
ton within the trade. We think it is
about time we receive ample compen-
sation for our labor.
Discussions at our last meeting Gen.
tered on the extra work involved since
the automatic jigger- has entered the
picture. We are willing to go along
with these new machines, but when
we have to work for less money, in
addition to extra work involved, we
do not think it is fair
We are glad to see Sisters Martha
Newland and Anna Quinn back after
being absent for some time, due to
illness.
There are still few members who
have made no effort to date, to pay
the fine assessed them for not at
tending special meetings. The local in
tends to collect this fine, so any furth-
err delay might result in suspension
o. c. So.

IB1 Won't Yield
Jurisdiction
Over Conneries

San Francisco-(FP). - The Init
Bro. of Teamsters served notice that
regardless of pending NLRB ruling
the union will blockade all canneries
in northern California signing con-
tracts with the Food Tobacco & Agri-
cultural Workers.
"We will under no circumstances
recognize any other organization as
bargaining agent for employees in
caneries," Vice Pres. Einar o. Mohn
said. "We take the position that we
haul from growery to cannery and
from cannery to warehouse and there
fore insist on our rightful jurisdiction
within the canneries. Any professor
who deals with any other union for
cannery employees will have to ac-
cept consequences of our position as
outlined"
Commenting on this statement, Eta
Reg. Dir. Louisa Moreno said: "If the
NLRR awards the jurisdiction to us,
as we expect 1t to do very shortly, it
means that the teamsters are declar-
ing war on the growers, the industry,
the public and the government"
The canneries are continuing nego-
tiations for new contract with the
AFL though the NLRB wired them
it viewed such negotiations with con-
cern." The AFL is asking 10c hour
ly raise.

ANTI-PETRILLO
BILL GIVEN RULE

Washington - (FP). = The House
rules committee, topheavy with anti
labor Republicans and polltax Demo
Gratis, voted to send the Lea bill CHR
5117) to the floor for an early vote
Feb. 13. The measure is directed
against the American Federation of
Musicians (AFL) and it's president,
James c. Petrillo.
Under the Lea bills provisions, the
AIM would be prohibited from forcing
a broadcasting studio to employ any
person or persons "in excess of the
number Of employees wanted, to pay
or give any money or fees" in con-
nection with the conduct of the broad
casting business, or to refrain from
broadcasting non-commercial or cul-
tural programs with unpaid free tai
ent. 1t would also prohibit the union
from forcing agreements to refrain
broadcasting radio programs from
outside the u. S.

Green Blusts
New Pldn As
Unacceptable

Washington-(FP). Pres, Tru
mans new wage-prce policy ran into
immediate difficulty from the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor.
AFL Pres. William Green described
the policy as unsatisfactory to the
AFL and unacceptable. 1t constitutes
a backward step-a return to wartime
economic conditions. 1t establishes
wage-fixing by government and
strikes body-blow at free collective
bargaining.
mo employer will be willing to bar
gain collectively with a labor union
under the restrictions imposed by the
new policy. We realize that the gov
ernment faced a serious difficulty in
seeking to promote full production
while wage and price disputes dis
rupted production.
"But the new policy is no solution.
1t will only serve to increase confu-
sion and multiply the nations troubles.
We fear it will also create widespread
social, industrial and economic dis
content and upheavals."

spreading dissatisfaction on the job
This individual failed to voice his
sentiments on the matters concerned
when they were presented at the union

We hope that warning will be all

Refires After IS
Years At Trude

Cambridge, Ohio.-It is always with
the deepest regret when we come to
the parting of ways with one of oul
older members. Such as the case with
Bro. Charles A. Dashner, decorator
who will retire this month after 81
years service at the trade.
He started his trade at the Wylie
China Co., in Huntington, w. Va, and
has worked in the various pottery
towns throughout the country. Always
a leader in promoting the interests
of his trade. "Dash" as he was ia
miliarly known, attended many ma
tional conventions of the organization.
A resolution committee was ap-
pointed at the last meeting and all
those having resolutions to offer,
should get in touch with this commit
tee at the earliest date. The deadline
has been set at May 1st, for ali reso-
lutions to reach headquarters.

and all indications point to steady
employment throughout the year.

Local IS To
Honor Vets
On May 4th
Gala Night For
The Seryicemen

Trenton, y. J.-There is not a great
deal to report on the activities OF
Local Union 40 during the past two
weeks, outside of handling the usual
grievances that crop up from day to
day, and drafting propositions for the
new agreement.
Everything seems to be lining up
in fine shape for our Welcome Home
Dinner, honoring our returned SER
vicemen on May 4th. Chairman Watson
announced that Roman Hall has been
secured for the occasion. Tickets will
soon be placed on sale and will be
priced at $500 The money derived
through the sale of these tickets will
only cover the cost of the dinner.
Other expenses will be met by dona-
tions from the Contingent fund, gen.
eral fund, and a probable collection
in the shop.
Nearly all our veterans except those
indicted in the latter stages of the
war are home now and among the
latest to return to the Mutual are
Bros. Zoltanski, McGarrigle and Tig-
Ter.
Several new members have been
obligated recently and include Bros
Nugent, Messara and Macdonald. The
word obligated should be a reminder
to all members that it is their duty to
uphold the laws of the organization
as long as they are engaged at the
trade, and do all they can to promote
friendly relationship within the ranks.
Only by this method can we hope to
promote the interests of a progressive
second to none, among

Local Meets In
Cnncial SncSinn

Clarksburg, w. Va.-Local Union 9.
met in special session last Friday
evening in Central Labor hall.
We were greatly pleased to be hon.
ored with a visit from our national
president, James M. Duffy, who gave
us very fine talk on the problems
confronting labor today He told Of
the recent Labor Management confer
ence in Washington, of which he was
a delegate, and the progress made by
that body in endeavoring to seek a
solution to maintain peace and har-
mony within the ranks of organized
labor and their employers. After lis
tening to his remarks we were con-
vinced that the conference was sue
cess and not the failure as some
would have US believe.
We were glad to hear his compli-
mentary remarks of John l.. Lewis as
we feel Mr.. Lewis has been a great
leader and his return to the ranks of
the A. F. of L. will add prestige to
that organization.
PRESIDENT DuIIy was SWampeu WIN
many questions from our GI members
and as the evidence was not complete,
he promised to return to Clarksburg
in the near future to settle all prob
lens discussed.
Rumor has it several new jobs will
be started on the night shift in the
clay shop as the present crews are
unable to produce enough ware since
the new kiln has been in operation.
Bro. John Melinjake has shed his
army clothes for civvies and is back
working in the shop.
We hear Jackie Ward was married
recently in st. Louis, and is expecting
to be discharged from the army some
time this month.
Russell Petit has entered the hos
pital for an operation. am sure Russ
will be glad to see any of his bench
mates who plan to visit him at st.
Mary's Hospital.
We wonder who the two girls were
from the decorating shop who stood
in line last Saturday morning to get
a pair of nylons that were on sale
the week before 20. c. 90.

= Ferguson and his aids have virtual
ly completed their survey of the pot
terry industry with especial attention
to methods Of operating.
Inasmuch as their efforts to date
under the apprentice training pro-
gram have largely been invested in
mechanical and in the building trades
fields, they admit they have run across
some trades they knew little about
before.
Ferguson says, however, that such
a training program, if handled prop
erly, should undoubtedly prove of last
ing benefit to the trade generally.
Methods have changed in the pot
terry industry as elsewhere, Ferguson
i pointed out, as witness the develop
ment Of the tunnel and circular kilns,
and their growing use, and scientific
training OF workmen ought to further
advance the industry.
Ferguson points out that once the
wartime business drops away, COM
petition must be faced again and mod
ern- methods will mean survival, as
they always have.
Initial steps toward the training
program were taken at a recent meet
ing here called by James M. Duffy, N.
B. 0. p national president, following
conference with Veterans of World
War H.
Ferguson attended the conference
here and outlined requirements need
ed to set up the program.
Under the program, veterans would
be trained scientifically for the busi-
ness so important to this area and,
at the same time, would receive a
maximum of $65 monthly, if single,
and $50, if married. In no case, how
ever, would their income, with pay
and federal benefits combined, exceed
the pay of journeyman potter.
The student under training also
would take IA hours of home train
ing in addition to the on-the-job in
struction.
Joseph NJ. Wells and w. A. Betz of
the United States Potters Association
attended the recent meeting here. The
Tri-Vets were represented by Regis
Cole, Samuel Bourne and Don Ecker.
Other veterans groups were rep
resented by D. G. Wilkinson and Bert
Harris of East Liverpool Post No. 4,
Legion; Willis Hall and c.
d. Mccullough of Private Eddy Post
No. sc, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
and Charles Moore and John Nc
Laughlin of Alfred Wedgewood Post
No. 374, American Legion. Spence
manager of the U. S. En-
ployment Office took part in the con-
ference.

IAnfi-Lubor Bill
Ordered Beck
To Committee

Richmond, Va.-(FP).- One of the
crudest anti-labor proposals ever in
troduced in the general assembly of
Virginia was ordered back to commit
tee Feb. 6 after it met an opposition
amendment on the Senate floor when
debate opened.
The measure is a joint resolution
stating that unionization is against
the public policy of the common
wealth. It's chief sponsor is Sen. w.
Stuart Moffett of Staunton. The
amendment that sent the bill back
to committee would have changed it
to read that "unionization of officers
or employees of the commonwealth of
Virginia, its political subdivisions, or
any governmental agency of any of
them, is hereby declared to be con-
trary to and in violation of the public
policy of the state"
Two additional paragraphs state
that it is against public policy for Of
ficials to recognize unions and that
the resolution should not be construed
as preventing public employees from
organizing in order to discuss en-
ployment conditions"
Another labor bill ready for House
action forbids unemployment of any
public employees who go on strike,
while third in the Senate forbids
picketing "by force and violence"

.Wage Bill
Reported By


Washington--(FP).-The 65c mini
mum wage bill sailed smoothly out O
the Senate education and labor com
| mittee Feb. IA and Chairman Jane:
f. Murray Cd, Mont.) said he hopee
to bring it up for debate on the floor
Feb. 18.
AS reported out by the committee
the bill IS. 1349) jumps the present
4Oc an hour minimum wage to 65c i'm.
mediately and holds at that figure
for two years, when it goes to 70c fol
two years. In the fifth year the lega
minimum advances to %75c an hour.
Sen. Murray said the bill, if passed
would give pay increases to 6 million
workers, and that it covers retail
businesses of four or more stores that
do a combined business annually of
$500,OO0 or more.
This means that the drug and food
chain stores, many department stores,
wholesale houses and five and ten cent
stores will come under the terms of
the federal law. Only the small, in
dependent corner grocer and druggist
is exempt According to Dept. Of La
Dor figures quoted by Sen Claude
Pepper Cd, Fla.) who offered the re-
tail store amendment, it adds 2 mil
lion workers to the covered list.
Newspapers, dailies or weeklies,
with less than 5000 circulation are ex-
empted from the terms of the bill,
which retains its original provision
for two year statute of limitations
within which the employers may be
sued for violations.
The committee permitted a change
in the convictions section wherein if
an accused employer can prove he
acted in good faith, thinking he was
not subject to the law, judge may
remit part of the fine.
Western Union failed to win COM
plete exemption for it's messengers.
The bill exempts only those employees
whose duties are exclusively the pick
ing up and delivering of messages. If
WI uses boys or girls to deliver pack
ages, samples, or to stand in line for
theater tickets, it must meet the min
imum wage provisions.

Unions Fight
Re-enfry OF
Burns Agency
BY RAY MUNSON

st. Paul, Minn.-(FP). - Having
prevented the William j. Burns Init.
Detective Agency from operating in
Minnesota in 1888, labor is mobilizing
to block the latest attempt to get
legal status for the agency's work of
anti-union espionage and strikebreak-
ing.
The Burns agency's new application
for a license, timed with the current
nationwide onslaught against labor,
was met with immediate objection by
unions here. A hearing on the applica-
tion will be held March 4 onthe basis
of a petition filed by the Minnesota
Industrial Union Council. Representa-
tives of the AFL and railroad broth
erhoods are also expected to TESTIFY
against the application.
The Burns agency was barred from
the state in 1888 by the Farmer-Labor
administration, headed by Gov. Elmer
A. Benson, who is now chairman OF the
Natl. Citizens Political Action Com
mittee. In 1941 the agency applied for
license to the Republican regime un-
der Gov. Harold Stassen but prompt
labor protest forced withdrawal.
In 1945 Minnesota's Republican
dominated legislature enacted a bill
which took licensing of detective agen-
cies out of the governors hands and
made it function of the secretary OF
state. Observers are convinced this
was done in the belief that the Sec
retary would be less vulnerable to
public pressure.

Wdge-Price


Washington-(FP).- After severa
weeks of negotiations and arguments
Pres. Harry S. Truman hopefully an
nounced a new wage-price stabiliza
tion policy Feb. IA under which work
ers may get pay boosts of from sc t6
about zoe an hour, and industry shall
be granted pre-war profits if operat
ing at full capacity.
Wage increases are allowable under
the new policy if they are agreed upon
between the employer and the union
involved, and do not exceed the gen.
eral level of increases granted in the
industry since VI day.
Other wage increases may be grant
ed to correct "gross inequalities" in
related plants, industries or job quail
fications.
A third provision allows wage in
creases to offset the increase in the
cost of living between January, 1941
and September, 1945. This simply per-
mits the operation of the Little Steel
formula under present conditions.
The new program denies price re-
lief equal to the amount of wage in
creases to industries operating at a
temporary low volume. This would
bar chiseling by corporations holding
back production in order to improve
their price structure.
In announcing the new program,
Pres. Truman made OPA Administra-
tor Chester Bowles head of the reviv-
ed Office of Economic Sterilization,
and put Paul A. Porter, of the Fed
eral Communications Commission, in
as OPA chief. Porter is former rent
administrtor for OPA.
Reconversion Director John w. Sny-
der remains on the job, at least tenn
porarily. with some of his authority
clipped. He is expected to take anoth-
er post soon.
