F. RICHARD THORNHILL

Francis Richard Thornhill, born
1884 at Staffordshire, England,
died suddenly June 27 at the
Armstrong County Hospital after
brief illness.
Brother Dick, as he was known
to his many friends, came to this
country in 1907 and joined the
N.B.O.P. in the same year at
Warrington, w. Va. He also work
ed in potteries in Evansville, Ind;
Chillicothe, Ohio; Hammond, Ind;
and was employed at the Eljer
Company, Ford City for the past
20 years.
Surviving are his widow, Cora
Jane Thornhill, five daughters, one
son, brother and a sister.

though some criticism was address
ed to the AFL's approval of a COM
promise measure before the last
session of Congress which allowed
parochial schools to receive some
fuIos for their students.
Secretary-treasurer Irwin Kuen-
Iii reported that sc new locals and
five new state federations were
chartered during 1946-47. Seven
locals were reinstated. The net
gain in membership of nearly 1000
members between May 1946 and
May l947 is one of the largest in
the ATS 30-year history, Kuenzli
said.

knowledge on such subjects as
housing, social security, minimum
wage, taxes, fair labor standards,
FEPC, anti-poll tax, anti-lynching,
veterans legislation, compulsory
military training, and, above all,
labor relations.
The man who comes to Congress
is pretty much like other men,
Hines will tell you. He may have
been a salesman or a lawyer or a
front office executive. But practic-
ally never does he have any know
ledge of labor relations. Actually,
we have to do an educational job
on many of them," says Hines.
"It's a brand new field for them.
We keep them informed on labor
matters and often it develops that
they get in the habit Of coming to
us for information. But it still re-
quires an enormous amount of leg
work. We have to know inside out
every piece Of legislation, every
argument for and against a bill, in
order to anticipate Congress
mans questions. But even so, the
ignorance of some Congressman on
vital Legislation is beyond belief"
To illustrate this, Hines told of
dinner he attended recently,
which was also attended by three
Republican congressman, one of
whom was member of the House
Labor Committee which produced
the Hartley bill.
"I'm a Republican myself" said
Hines, $50 | can talk to these guys
on the same political level. When
it came my turn to speak, i told
these Congressman that they had
been sold a bill of goods in the
Taft-Hartley law; that it wasn't
written by them, that it was being
written by the NAM on the fifth
floor of the House Office Building
all the time they were holding
hearings. l told them that they
didn't know what had gone into
the bill or they never would have
voted for it.
"Then ! offered to lay $40 on the
table if that Republican could tell
me what was in the bill" The
committee member clustered and
fumed but pointedly refrained
from taking Hines challenge or
the $40 bet.
Later, one of the other COP
Congressman told Hines privately,
you're right, of course. We didn't
know what was in that bill when it
was passed. We weren't even given
a chance. But what can you do? ?"
Hines could have told him-but
his sense of humor kept him quiet.

Comment On World Events

In comment which vigorously
champions the Marshall plan for
European recovery, Matthew Woll
shows the utter falsity of the Com
munist charge that the plan is
American Imperialism, aimed at
Wall Street domination of Europe.
"The attempt of 16, European
countries to approach the problem
of economic reconstruction on a
continental basis is a source of real
hope," Woll says in the latest In
ternational Free Trade Union
News. Similarly the workers and
liberty loving people Of all nations
can only welcome the offer made
by the American Secretary OF
State Marshall to aid this joint
reconstruction endeavor. These
moves are belated but welcome
realization that mankind can no
longer delay in ending the harrow
ing uncertainty, economic insecur-
ity and political chaos that have
for years been the lot of many ma
tions."
Discussing the position of the
United States and paying his re-
spects to Communist lies and
slander, Woll writes:
1.-The American Federation of
Labor has not hesitated to criticize
the American government when we
were not in accord with any of it's
policies at home or abroad. Our
trade unions are free and indepen-
dent-not dominated by the gov
eminent. We are free men, ar
irving freely at our own conchs-
ions.
"We are convinced that the Mar
shall plan should, in it's central
purpose and substance, be welcom-
ed by all democratic-minded
working people and by all other
lovers of liberty. There is neither
shame nor crime to be attached to
American policy if it seeks to con-
tinue American prosperity and
prevent an economic depression at
home by promoting reconstruction
and popular welfare abroad.
"This is not Imperialism. 1t SIM
ply marks a realization that our
country cannot long stay prosper
Gus if Europe and the rest of the
world are bankrupt. and in a state
of economic collapse. 1t is not i'm
perialism but good and true inter-
for America to base
it's own prosperity and progress
not on the poverty and misery Of
the European and other peoples
but on their own prosperity ard
progress"

New 'Sluve'


The Closed shop, under which en1-
ployers can hire only union MEM
bers, is outlawed. The union shop,
in which nonunion workers may be
employed if they join up in 80 days
is continued but under severe re-
strictions.
To qualify for their rights under
the act, the unions are compelled
to file financial data showing sal
aries of officers and statements of
union rules. Affidavits of chief Of
ficers swearing they are not Com
munists must be filed with the
NLRB. Unless both provisions are
complied with, union cases will not
be processed.
Foremen and supervisors are no
longer protected in their organiza-
tion rights under the law.
The new acts regulations depart
from the Wagner Act in various
ways. In representation proceed
ings, the Wagner Act made no pro-
vision for decertifying a union
which had been certified as the
employees bargaining agent by the
board. The law makes effective a
section providing for decertifica-
ton of unions on petitions by en-
ployes.
While formerly an employer
could not ask for a representation
election unless two or more unions
presented conflicting claims, he
may now petition for an election
even if one union is involved.
A new section of the law re-
quires the board to petition the
Federal court for injunctions in
certain types of cases where un-
fair labor practices threaten ser
ious harm which may be irremedi-
able if permitted to continue.
The law sets up a new Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Service
as an Independent agency. The old
Cancellation Service was part Of
the Labor Department.
Under the procedures an employ
er or employe organization wishing
to terminate or modify a contract
must give the other 60 days notice
of that intention, combined with
an offer to meet the other party
for conferences.
In the meantime the contract is
to remain in full force and effect.
There can be no strike or lockout
for 60 days after the first notice
is given.
Any employe who strikes during
the waiting or cooling Off period
may be discharged by the employ
er.
The NLRB is now required to
shear and determine" jurisdiction
al disputes.

ditures. The Committee was sup
posedly inquiring into why the
FBI didn't investigate racketeer-
ing, but one of the Senator'S had
succeeded in warping the hearings
into an anti-labor probe. While
Hines sat among the visitors the
Committee listened to a Chicago
promoter who claimed he repre-
sented 100000 small businessmen.
For half hour the Chicagoan read
letters purporting to come from
poor widows who had been victim
lied by the unions, the owner of a
small grocery who had been put
out of business by the teamsters,
and so on. But not once did the
witness give the names of the peo-
pie who had supposedly written
the letters. Finally one Senator,
not known for his sympathy for
labor, remarked, IL see Mr. Hines
is in the room. Would you care to
try to refute any of these charges,
Mr.. Hines ?" Hines got up slowly
and said he didn't think he had
anything to say-except that he
was absolutely amazed at Con-
gressional committee taking evid-
ence and putting in the record
statements that were completely
anonymous, that were worse than
the hearsay which is not permit
ted in any court, statements that
may have been written or may
never have been written.
"And who is this man." de-
manded Hines, warming up. "He
says he speaks for 500,0C0 small
businessmen. Who are they? I'll
bet you can't find so small bus
inessmen who ever even heard Of
this mans name" (AFL officials
in Chicago later advised Hines
that the man was IN out-andout
faker.) 81 think this Committee is
engaging in an unheard-of proce-
dure, taking such evidence. In fact,
| think this Committee itself should
be investigated by Congress-" The
shocked Senators recessed the
hearings.
Hines is exceptionally well
equipped for his exacting work He
came to Washington in 1897 and
for two years was the AFL's first
director of organization. He re-
turned to his home state of Penn
sylvania as the states first secre-
tary of labor to come from labor's
ranks. He held this position from
1889 to 1943 when he came to
Washington to take his present
post. Testifying for the AFL on
Capitol Hill for the past five years,
Hines has developed an exhaustive

Springfield, Ill.-The state de-
partment of mines and minerals

potency of Arlie Cook, manager Of
the New Orient mine where three
men were killed in a blast August

Cooks certificate was suspended

The report said:

Lubor SfufiSfics
Head Sees No AZ
Recession In Sight

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-
There is no business recession in
sight this year, Evan Clague,
Commissioner of Labor Statistics
told press conference on the en-
ployment situation. He said that
from his studies of employment
throughout the country he could
not see any major weaknesses yet
on the economic horizon.
Even if exports should slump
drastically because of economic de-
velopments abroad, American de-
mand would step in and absorb
part of the production, the Com
missioner said. While employment
might drop off some, he indicated
it would not be anywhere near pro-
portional to any falling off in ex-
port trade.
Discussing the total job picture,
Clague described the present stu
alton as generally strong. "Unem-
ployment has already begun to re-
cede from the early-summer high
of &c millions, according to pre-
liminary Indications" he said.
Normally the number of jobless
may be expected to decline notice
ably in August and the downward
trend should continue until the late
fall. The volume of unemployment
compensation claims dropped in
late in July in both New York and
New England, areas wnere a rela-
lively heavy concentration of un-
employment had been reported for
the last few months"
Commissioner Clague directed
attention to a few industries which
are showing a slight decline in en-
ployment and which might indicate
industrial weakness. These indus
tries are machine tools, radios,
furniture, aluminium manufacture
ers and rubber tires and tubes.
They have a total employment of
about 650,000, and in the aggre-
gate are about 10 percent below
last December's total.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-08-28

declares. "The American people
want nothing from Europe" he
continues. "Of course there are in
dividual American capitalists who
may seek to profteer in Europe
just as they seek to do so in our
own country.
American organized labor has
only the sharpest condemnation for
such greedy adventurers. They do
not speak for or represent the aims
and aspirations of the American
people in relation to Europe or any
other part of the world.
ut is the sheerest hypocrisy and
the cheapest demagogy to talk of
Wall Street imperialists seeking to
gobble up European resources and
enslave the German, French, Russ
ian, Bulgarian or any other people.
Since the end of the war, the Unit
ed States has committed about
$40, 100000 to Europe and 9TH
er needy areas in the form of gifts,
grants, credits, government bank
advances and loans. This fabulous
sum is not an investment made by
private Wall Street bankers for
handsome profits. Every dollar,
every penny of this huge amount
is coming out of the pockets and
earnings of the American people
the workers in the factories, the
farmers in the fields, the men and
women in the offices and profess
ions, the members of our great
middle class. Here is an army of
producers, not exploiters."
