Transfer Meefinq
To Auditorium
To Handle Crowd

The sentiment expressed at the
meeting of Local Union 124 Tuesday
evening left little doubt in the minds
of those present that trouble lies
ahead unless some means can be found
to meet new conditions in the trade.
The attendance was exceptionally
good, in fact we had so many present
when President Clair Armstrong call
ed the meeting to order that we had
to transfer the meeting to the audi
torium to accommodate the crowd.
The liners and stampers tied for
honors in having an equal representa-
tion take the floor in denouncing the
present set up on each machine. This
dispute as in all others, no doubt will
take time to reach a mutual under
standing, but in the meantime, little
consideration on the part of our en-
ployers, will help in a big way to
bring all parties involved to an ami
cabel settlement.
Topics to be considered at the COM
ing wage conference shared the spot
light in the various discussions. We
feel our representatives are capable of
discussing the issues at hand, and will
present our case to the manufacturers,
justifying an increase for our labor.
Our meeting for next week has been
postponed and the next regular sched-
uled meeting has been called for Tues
day evening, March 26. We hope at
this time to have the conferees make
their report of the wage conference.
Sister Clara Carson was reported
as seriously i'll in the East Liverpool

Chicago. - Fifteen incorporating
railroad unions opened their wage
case before the special arbitration
board of members here with volu-
minous evidence supporting their de-
mands for an increase of 80 cents an
hour.
Lester P. Schoene, counsel for the
unions, emphasized that railroad pay
has not kept pace with wages for
similar work in other industries.
"The first principle that we in
voke," he said, "the one on which we
stand primarily and the one by which
the amount of our increase is meas
urable, in the principle of equality of
treatment with other employees in the
general movement of wages"
Mr. Schoene presented 6 basic JUS
tifications for the unions wage de-
mands:
Increased hazards of employ
ment.
Higher living costs.

Senate Group
Recommends

Washington-(FP). - Cutting the
number of standing committees in
both houses, increased pay for mem
bers, and the registration Of lobbyists
were the highlight recommendations
offered Mar. a by the joint congress
| sional committee on reorganization OF
Congress. The committee, headed by
Sen. Robert NJ. LaFollette Jr., prog,
Wis., has been meeting for year in
an effort to find ways Of streamlining
Congress- work.
Proposals for combining commit
tees include the setting up of armed
services committees to replace separ-
ate groups for military and naval af-
fairs, handling veterans affairs
through one veterans affairs commit
tee, and the grouping of the functions
of several small bodies having to do
with natural resources and public
works all under one head. The pro-
posals would cut the number of Sen
ate committees from 33 to Is, and the
House bodies from AZ to lS. The House
un-American activities committees re-
mains on the list, but this group will
probably meet with opposition when
reorganization comes up for debate
The LaFollette committee recon-
mended an increase in salary from
$1,000 to $4,000 annually for both
Senators and members Of the House,
as we'll as providing each with an ad-
ministrative assistant at $8,CC0 per
year.
! The group also proposed "the re-
gistration of organized groups and
their agents who seek to influence leg
islation and that such registration in
clude quarterly statements of expendi-
lures made for this purpose" This

Awuy On Morch J

Trenton, N. J.--It is with sincere
regret we announce the death of
Brother David Newell who passed
away at the Donnelly Memorial Hos
pital on March 7, following a pro-
longed illness. A kilnman by trade
he had been employed at the Scam
nell China Co. for the past 81 years.
For several years he was bench boss
on the biscuit crew on the Lamberton
side. 1t is hard to believe that the
vigorous life-loving Dave is no
more. There are so many things we
remember him for. Ever since the
writer knew him he was always on
some committee in the union, serving
whenever and wherever needed. He
represented Local Union 35 at num-
erous wage conferences and conven-
tions, and just recently completed a
three-year term as member of the
national auditing committee Of the
N. B. of O. P.
He held the office of fire marshal
of Mercer County for the past 10
years. AS salaried official, his long
tenure in that office proved his
qualifications as man of dependa-
bility and one who could be relied
upon to carry out the duties of that
important post.
At our last meeting health COM
mittee was appointed comprising the
following brothers: Sam Thompson,
John Briel, Joe Fisher, Charles Ray
wood, William Mitchell, Lew Guynes,

The fire broke out at an early

About Unions

IF every American read Leo Huber.
mans The Truth About Unions pam
phet Press, New York, 81, Westbrook
Pegler would be out Of job before
you could say William Randolph
Hearst.
This simply-written, beautifully IL
lustrated S7-page book is the defini-
tive answer to the professional labor
haters who spread lies, rumors and
misinformation about the IA million
men and women who proudly carry
union cards.
! Huberman, author of The Labor
Spy Racket, America Inc. and other
books, x-rays the labor movement
it's structure, its functions, it's bene-
fits-and finds it one Of the healthiest
factors in American life.
Here is the story of the day-to-day
routine Of unions which has been gen.
orally kept from the public by the
press and radio policy of playing up
only the sensational aspects of unions
and the rare misdeeds Of few labor
leaders.
Opening with the thesis: Workers,
unorganized, are weak. Workers, or
ganized, are strong. That's why work
ers join unions" the book traces
labor's battle for the right to organize
up to the passage of the Wagner act
in July 1885 and clearly defines labor's
rights under present laws.
Best lesson for Pegler students is
the chapter on how Joe Worker joins
a local union, learns about initiation
fees, union dues, union meetings, the
locals bowling team, its financial set
up, how it elects officers, its political
activities and its relations with the
rest of the labor movement The step
by-step analysis of a typical local
should dispel whatever misconceptions
have been planted in the minds of the
people by the fables about sinister,
mysterious union activities.
