San -Ralying the forces of organized labor
to mobilize their full strength for the drive to repeal the
TaftHartey Act the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor struck optimistic note in its report
to the 66th annual AFL convention here.
Without minimizing the harsh and repressve effects
of the law, the Executive Council predicted that it
would serve to arouse the nations workers to fighting
pitch of union loyalty which is bound to result in great
resurgence of the trade union movement.

Council Renews Offer To Meet With
cIO To Plan Unity of Labor Groups

the history of prior negotiations
between committees representing
the AFL and the CIO, and charged
the CIO with misrepresenting the
terms of a resolution adopted last
May. The resolution stated that at
lis the unanimous opinion of the
representatives of the CIO and the
AFL that organic unity should be
established within the American
Labor Movement" The Council
said:
This declaration can only be
interpreted as meaning that the
establishment of solidified labor
movement is primary require
ment to the development of coop
Grafton and united action in the
legislative, economic and industrial
fields.
Proceeding upon this assump-
tion a communication dated July
16, 1947, was sent to the President
of the CIO in which there was ex-
pressed the willingness and desire
of the committee representing the
Executive Council to meet again
for the purpose of carrying out
the declaration made at the meet

this to mean that inasmuch as all

Steel Industry
Bosing Plans On
1922 Production

Washington - (LPA) = Labor
leaders and economists and gov
ernment experts who recently
told a Congressional investigating
committee that the steel industry's
program of planned scarcity was
heading the nation toward depres-
sion hit the roof last week.
Reason for their alarm was the
published announcement of the
American Iron & Steel Institute
that present capacity of the steel
industry should afford a surplus
of at least 100000 tons annually
until the year 1000 on the basis
of 1929 per capita consumption and
predicted population trends.
A Senate Small Business Com
mittee on Steel heard testimony
from both federal and union Off
cials during July and August that
full employment in 1850 will re-
quire steel capacity of 100000, 900
tons or more. However, industry
representatives put production fig
ures at 100000 and 80,000,00O
tons for 1850. Such figures are
virtual guarantee, according to
Louis Bean, Agriculture Dept econ
mist, of 10 to 100000 unemploy-
ed in the early 1950's.
While the steel industry con-
tinued to resist any suggestions
that capacity expansion was des-
perately needed for a healthy ma
tional and world economy-a con-
tention in which union leaders and
Steelmaker Henry Kaiser agreed
the American Iron & Steel Insti-
tute was spending thousands OF
dollars last week for large news
paper ads thruout the country.
These ads boasted that production
of steel ingots this year will be
60% more than 1889, but as they
appeared, other pages of the daily
press reported that labor's charge
of an acute steel shortage had been
verified by General Motors, worlds

Fl Picnic
On Sept. 10th
Officials OF Firm
Join In Festivities

Huntington Park, Calf. - We'll
here we are again, just a wee
group of potters of Local 201 or
/ the west coast, but we sure have
fun.
Our annual picnic was a little
late, being held at Griffith Park
September goth, but the weather
was perfect and everything else
that goes to make for a real pic
mic. There is just no use trying to
explain what a fine job our COM
mittees did, both in entertainment
and refreshments. Every year is
just little better than the pre-
vious one.
AS usual we were honored with
our executives joining us in the
festivities, to which they so gen.
erously donated in order to make
our outing a success. They too, ex-
pressed satisfaction with the way
the affair was handled. 1t should,
and l believe does, go a long way
with the majority of employees to
know that their employer can go
out and enjoy a days fun without
the least sign of superiority being
shown. However, we do need each
others cooperation to make a sue
cess.
We were sorry that a number
of our fellow workers could not be
present, but l daresay the ones
who were made up in more ways
than one for those who were ab-
sent. One of our very worthy broth
ers got a little beyond his capa-
city and when he arrived home he
misjudged the length of his garage;
the result, he now has an open air
garage, which is typical of some of
the potteries here on the west
coast.

of small grievances were discuss

Bro. Arthur Ferber made his re-

He outlined the program for Dad

set up by the state body, and the
advances that can be made if the
laboring people as a unit, pull to-
gether and show their strength at
the polls on election day.
A committee was appointed to
draw up ideas and recommenda-
tions to send to the Health and

Two new jiggers have been in

In its report to the AFL con-

"We believe that this is the first
and primary requirement which
should be met. All other things are
incidental.
"We cannot have peace and war
at the same time. We cannot pre-
tend to work together in the legis-

other field.
"We believe the rank and file in
both the AFL and the CIO favor
the establishment of organizational
unity Immediately, and the termi-
nation of strife, division, hatred
and bitterness.
"The Executive Council stands
ready to carry out the commitments
it has made in favor of organiza-

executive board stressed the need
for redoubled efforts in this direc-

report declared:
eff American labor desires to re-

it must stop supporting those who
are making profit on non-union
workers. These profits are used
to employ high-priced lawyers who
write bills for our lobby guided
legislators and to hire propagan-
dists to promote them. By spending
their union-earned money for nom
union goods, free American work
ers help unfair employers to make
huge profits, part of which are
used to elect kept politicians who

tOilers.

Will Be Held Dec. 6
At BrOadhead Hotel

Beaver Falls, Pa.-Fitting cere-
monies to mark the 50th anniver-
sary of Local Union 33 were COM
pleted at our last meeting and
everything in readiness for the gala
event which will be held at the
Broadhead Hotel on Dec. 6.
Special guests for the occasion
will be President James M. Duffy
and members of the Executive
Board, Mr.. Arthur Mayer, president
of the Mayer China Co., Judges Nc
Creary and Sohn of the Beaver
County Courts and Mayor Medley.
1t is the desire of the committee
to have as many former members
present as possible and since the
reservations are limited to 300, all
those wishing to attend should COM
municate with Leonard Greco, Box
303, Beaver Falls, Pa.
1t has been quite some time
since any news from Local Union
33 has appeared in the Herald. We
feel this is not entirely the fault
of our o. C. and a plan has been
sugg asted for gathering news
throughout the shop which we think
o. K. Items of interest should be
turned over to the following in each
department: Lena Kelly, glost ware
room; Elizabeth Radnathy, bisque
ware room; Laura Swartz, kiln
drawers and laborers; Florence
Graham, lining, department and
Charles Gibson, sliphouse.
Tony Capo and Thomas Bond,
representatives respectively to the
Liners and Warehouse conference,
made their reports which were fav-
orably received.-O. C. 33.

only those firms that display the
Union Label, Shop Card, and Serv-
ice Button, American workers have
the best guarantee for security of
their jobs, wages, and working con-
ditions. They have the best assur-
ance of creating higher labor STAN
/ dards now being advocated by the
American Federation of Labor and
which help to make up what is
known as "our American way of
! life"
"If we do not spend our high
wage purchasing power for union
made-in-America products and
union services, we cannot expect
fair employers to continue to pay
union wages and maintain the
working conditions that all our
members enjoy"
The report gave an account of the
successful AFL Union Label and
Industrial Exhibition held in St.
Louis in 1916 and announced plans
for bigger and better show in
1948 to be held in Milwaukee.
Pointing out that the name of
future exhibitions has been chang
