Profits To Direct
Nations 7q47
Housing Program

Washington (FP) = The extent
to which profit for builders rather
than government planning is de-
termining our national housing
policy is laid bare in a Jan. rs
statement on the national housing
program for 1947 issued by the adj
ministration's top men in the field
Housing Expediter Frank r.
Creedon and National Housing Ad-
ministrator Raymond M. Foley.
One year ago, President Truman
approved report by Wilson
Wyatt, later named housing expe-
diter, calling for 2-year veterans
emergency housing program Of
100000 houses, to be succeeded
by long-range plan embodied in
the Wagner -Ellender-Taft general
housing bill. Wyatt outlined steps
for getting the emergency pro-
gram started and carrying it
through.
In the seven weeks since Wyatt
was forced to resign because the
administration would no longer
back him up, the goals have been
lowered and the means of reaching
them thoroughly changed.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-01-30

everywhere, jolt themselves awake
to a sense of their own responsible
ity.
Finally, the people make the
laws and they elect the office hold
ers. Too often they forget their
responsibilities until damage has
been done.
These are by no means the only
examples of the absent-mindedness
of the citizenship. There are plenty
in every state legislature and in
Congress, to say nothing of local
elective bodies.
Government will never be very
far ahead of the intelligence and
concern of the average of the
citizenship.
In the complex affairs of today
we need to think a lot about our
public duties. We need to care
lot about whom gets elected to
what and what he or she stands
for.
One crooked or ignorant or
stupid or prejudiced official can
do a terrific lot of damage to that
vague thing we call public well
fare.
1t is perhaps more important
than you think. Anyway, THINK!

BY MILLY SALWEN

Roebling, N. j. (FP)-This COM
pany town of 1880, wholly owned
by John A. Roebling's Sons, is up
for sale and by Feb. /, 754 steel
workers and their families must
decide whether to buy their anti
quated homes at prices they can't
afford or risk being out in the cold.
Decision to abondon the COM
munity, which it bought 40 years
ago as "model village" for its
employees, was made by the giant
steel wire firm Jan. /, leaving the
workers a scant 30 days in which
to rearrange their lives. Many of
the townspeople regard the sale as
sham, a neat trick by the COM
pany to make up for that rent in
crease bid which OPA turned down
four years ago. Come the depres-
sion, and the houses will be back
in Roebling's hands, the workers
say bitterly.
Some of the houses, built in 1906
when the firm expanded from
nearby Trenton, still have no heat,
closets or wash tubs, but their ask
ing price is $4,000. Prices range
from $4,000 for row houses up to
$4,000 for a few luxurious homes
for plant doctors and superinten-
dents.
Since many of the workers
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-01-30
For Sale: Company Town,
Welfare Of 754 Fdnilies

were born in these houses and the
rents have been low (averaging $40
month";, they have spent their
spare time and money in improv-
ing the places. Now the company
is basing its price demands partly
on the improvements for which the
workers themselves paid.
Those who can scrape together
the down payments of as much as
$4,000 face substantial pay cuts
because of the burden of deposits,
taxes and monthly payments they
will now have to assume. Many
will be forced into debt.
One steelworker's wife, Mrs.
Mary Magyar, who has lived in
Roebling for 36 years and who has
married children also living here,
said: T guess we buy" With no
modern conveniences, her house
is not worth $500, she said, "but
old people can't leave house
where they have lived so long"
For others, the preference"
given company employees to by
means nothing less than an evic-
tion notice. One old-timer, pension
ed off by the company, was so en-
ragged by the maneuver that he
threatened: "Pd move into sum-
mer cottage before I'd pay for this
place." Still others, unable to find
new homes, will be uprooted from
their jobs as we'll as their homes.
The Roebling firm has already
turned over the towns utilities,
fire and police protection and gar
bage collection to surrounding
Florence township.
But Roebling is a company town
and the sprawling cable firm in
tends to keep it that way. Fifteen
restrictive covenants, which the
buyer must sign before he owns
his house, insure that nothing
not the height of the fences, num-
Der of stores or multi-family dwell
lngS-Shall be changed without the
company's permission.
One restriction, however, was
short-lived. The company included
an anti-Negro clause, limiting
houses north of the railroad to
"the Causcasian race only" Com
pany officials explained this away
by claiming that it was included
on the insistence of the Federal
Housing Authority.
Prompt protests revealed that
FILA authorities actually opposed
the measure. The clause was drop
ped.
But the others remain and with
them the problem of how to meet
the company's callous disregard
for the welfare Of its employees.

Scribe Ordered
To Make Monthly
Report To Trade

Hollydale, Calif.-It is not otter
that you hear from Local Union
1876, which is stuck out here in the
southeast corner of nowhere, but
we want the trade to know that we
are still going strong and holding
together like upper on a fat
womans skirt.
Since we want to mean more to
the trade than a mere name classi-
fled in the Local Directory, an o.
c. has been appointed with instruc-
tions to have at least one letter a
month in our official journal.
We started the new year off in
new hall with a complete slate of
new officers as follows: President,
Wesley Ridenour; vice president,
John Bratcher; recording secre-
tary, Clare Natzik; financial sec
retary-treasurer, Carmen Morales
statistician, Raymond Bye; inspec-
tor, Virginia Morales; trustees,
John Bratcher, Guy Dunn, Clyde
Dennis.
Three names were added to the
roll, Herbert G. Dickinson and
Marvin Smidt by initiation, and
Milton Buddy Brown, reinstated.
At our last meeting in Deem
ber, Organizer George Pace was
present and gave us very en-
Tightening talk. We are looking
forward to a visit from Second
Vice President Frank Hull in the
near future.
The shop is back on a full time
schedule after a months loaf
while the kilns were being repair
ed.
We had our usual Christmas
party as the guests of our congen-
ial employers, Jessie and Otto
Hupp. Meat loaf replaced the well
known bird at the banquet, and
what meat loaf it was, combin-
alton of Antelope, Moose and Deer
meats which were bagged by "Ike
Walton" Hupp and washed down
with soda pop and beer.
Employees of the plant present
ed the Hupp brothers with a bar
beque cart as a token of apprecia-
tion.-O. G. 1876.

to the decorating kilnmen. Their
renRrks, however, were not con-
fined to their particular trade as
all three gave general survey of
the proceedings from day to day.
Third Vice President James
Slayen rounded out the report by
giving a very interesting talk on
the high spots of the conference,
including the early morning fire
drill in the big city. "Jim", pulled
no punches in his remarks and
stressed the necessity of members
living up to the agreement to pro-
mote peace and harmony within
the trade.
Numerous questions were asked
the conferees and all seemed to be
satisfied with the answers. A ris-
ing vote of thanks was extended
the conferees for their fine work.
Two visitors from Local Union
AZ, Salem, were present, Bros.
John Erhart and William Starks.
Both were called upon for remarks
and very ably responded. We ap-
preciate the visit of these two
gentlemen and wish at this time to
inform members of other Locals
that the doors of l.. u. 124 are
always open.
For the first time in your 0. C.'s
memory, not a single candidate
was initiated.
President Clair Armstrong kept
things rolling along in fine style
and the meeting was not long
drawn out affair.-O. C. 124.
A woman seldom gives the man
the benefit of any doubt.

Washington (FP) = Debate on
the Reed bill, formerly known as
the Bulwinkle bill, opened in the
Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee as spokesmen for American
railroads and truckers argued for
passage of the measure which
would exempt interstate transport
from prosecution under the anti
trust laws.
Opposition to the bill was ex-
pressed by the u. S. Department
of Justice and lone railroad lead
er.
The bill would legalize the con-
ference system of rate-fixing, un-
der which carriers decide together
how much they will charge shop
pers and passengers for their joint
services in a haul using more than
one carrier.
In effect, the railroads have been
doing just this for 40 years or
more, but they go through the
formality of proposing the rates
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which has 80 days to con-
slider any veto action. The fact that
the ICC is stated by railroad
minded men, plus their inability to
attend every rate request, means
rates proposed are seldom dis
puted.
A parade of witnesses spoke for
the bill, led by General Counsel j.
Carter Fort of the Association of
American Railroads, the powerful
carriers organization. Opposition
came from Board Chairman Robert
r. Young of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad, who wired the COM
mittee that the bill makes pos
sible the elimination of competi-
tion in the railroad industry"
The Justice Department offered
testimony opposing the measure on
the ground that the bill threatens
the public interest in giving too
much power to the transportation
giants.
"The transportation industry
constitutes Americas biggest bust
ness" Attorney General Tom
Clark told the committee. at
would not be fair to immunize this
big business from the antitrust
laws and thereby make this indus
try the first of a number of big
businesses seeking similar con-
gressional immunity with an ulti-
mate result which leaves large in
dustry immunized and the small
industry subject to prosecution"
Assistant Attorney General
Wendell Berge, in charge of anti
trust work, warned:

Our new president has promised
action during his reign in office,
namely the elimination of long
drawn out meetings. We think this
is fine idea and will certainly
aid in bolstering the attendance
at our semi-monthly sessions.
An added attraction is on the

from soup to nuts. Remember the

ly met the issue at hand.
The health program is still a
big problem here in Clarksburg,
and mostly due to our own people
who do not seem to realize that
the efforts being put forth to
maintain a clean shop, are being
done solely for their benefit. The
willful waste of paper towels in the
women's rest rooms is disgraceful
to say the least. There is absolute
ly no sense or reason for such con-
dition, and company officials have
informed the committee that un-
less such practice is stopped, they
will stop furnishing towels, free
of cost.
The Local urges our members to
cooperate in keeping the rest
rooms clean, and to report anyone
guilty of destruction to the Off
cials and they will be dealt with
accordingly.
We are glad to hear of the wage
increase granted and wish to take
this opportunity to thank the ma
tional officials and the conference
committee for their good work.
Our deepest sympathies to Bro.
Wilbur Jones in the death of his
mother, Bro. James Lightner in
the death of his father, and Bros.
Averill and Pearl Majesky in the
death of their mother.
Bro. Pat Scott has been selling
tickets for the industrial basket
ball games each week. The pottery
team has been playing some very
good basketball in this league, and
we wish more of our members
would turn out and give them
little encouragement.
We would still like to arrange
series with some of the teams in

ally the Harker Pottery Co. team.
