w. II. En- erson,
Noted Engineer
Token BY De 9th

Walter H. Emerson, as, chief
engineer of the Homer Laughlin
China Co. since 1884 and recogniz-
ed throughout the country as the
leading authority on plant mechan-
ization in the pottery industry,
died suddenly Aug. 19 of a heart
ailment.
He was stricken at the Laughlin
plant while inspecting his latest
creation, a straight-line automatic
jigger.
One of his major contributions
was put into operation on March /,
1910, when Laughlins began its
automatic jigger in its No. 6 plant.
The creation stepped up ware
producing capacity to unheard-of
proportions at the time.
But the automatic jigger, al
though more publicized than his
other products, was only one in a
long series.
He modernized conveyer systems,
developed better handling devices
and transportation systems, intro
duced improved spray machines,
pioneered automatic lining mac
hines and underglaze banding mac
hines.
His widow. Betty; a son, Paul,
and a daughter, Ann, survive.

BY Locdl Sc
Next Meeting Will
Be Held On Sept. Is

East Palestine, Ohio-Our second
meeting this month was held on
August 18th with the attendance
nothing to brag about. Probably
the weather was to blame for the
small turnout, and President Man
sell, keeping this thought in mind,
stepped on the gas and ordered
only items of the utmost import
ance be transacted.
Regardless of our warnings
/ Through these columns to delin-
L4uents, our pleas fell on deaf ears
and the local found it necessary to
suspend the following for non-pay-
ment of dues: Harry Barnes, Ever
EFT Straub, John McGath, James
Cameron, John Jefferies, William
Bryant, Lois Moore, Betty Jane
Schultz and Frank Galbreath.
There are still few others how
ering on the line of suspension un-
less they pay their arrearages by
our next meeting. We hope these
members will see to it that every
thing is cleared up by next meet
ing which falls on September Is.
Incidentally, our first meeting
night in September falls on Labor
Day so the local will hold only one
meeting in September, that being
on the 18th. Members are request
ed to pass this word around to
their buddies in the shop.
There were several things
brought to the attention of the
local. They dealt mainly with the
air situation and lack of cool drink
ing water. Another one was gripe
from the kilnshed of the distance
the employees in this department
have to trek to answer the phone.
We are looking forward to the firm
for some relief in these matters.

Cunudiun Poffers
Attend Picnic Of
LocuI Union 76

Buffalo, N. Y.-The annual out
ing of the employees of the Buffalo
Pottery Co. took on an added fea-
ture this year and might be called
the international outing inasmuch
as we had as our special guests
several brothers and sisters from
across the border affiliated with
Local Union 191, Hamilton, On
tariO.
Bros. Sam Mostacci and Wilson
attended our meeting on Friday,
Aug. Is and although the weather
was hot there was a fairly good
crowd to welcome these brothers
from across the border.
The picnic at Liberty Park was
all anyone could ask for in the line
of entertainment which goes to
make these affairs a success. Fes-
tivities started around l p. m. and
from that time on there never was
a dull moment throughout the day.
Music throughout the day was
one of the chief diversions with
loud speakers installed throughout
the park and plenty of polish music
on tap for the jitterbugs.
The Ok roast certainly went over
big with everyone. The animal
weighed over $50 lbs. and we don't
mind informing the trade there was
hardly enough meat left in the
evening for a sandwich. We thank
the firm for this special treat and
might add little plug here for
next years outing-make it 500
lb. carcass.
Harold Osborne of East Liver
pool was visitor at the outing and
enjoyed talking shop with his old
buddies.
Thomas Kelly was the winner of
the radio automatic record changer.

A.F.L. Union First
To File New Law
Financial Dufu

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-
First union to file its financial re-
port and constitution with the De-
partment of Labor under the Taft
Hartley labor law is the Office En-
ployes international Union, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor affiliate.
Unions which fail to provide the
information have no recourse to
the National Labor Relations Board
after Aug. %, when the act be-
comes fully operative.
Paul r. Hutchings, president,
told reporters that his union of
$4,000 members could not afford to
"sit around and wait 6 or s months
while the NLRB decides its cases"
For that reason, he said, the un-
ion wanted to be among the first to
meet the Taft-Hartley require
ments and speed decision on cases
now pending or being filed before
the board.
President Hutchings and j. How
ard Hicks, secretary-treasurer of
the union, declined to make public
the financial figures, but distri-
buted copies of the unions consti-
tuition. Secretary of Labor Lewis
B. Schwellenbach has ruled that
the financial data a union SUBMIT
ed would not be made public but
could be seen by any member of
the union.

Union Insurance
Pact Is Strongest
In Labor History

Muskegon, Mich. (LPA) - An
agreement said to carry the broad
est union health and accident in
surance cOverage yet written in the
u. S. made history here when the
program was ratified by the
United Auto Workers local at Con-
tinental Motors.
Financed by the company and
administered mainly by the union,
the insurance program provides
life insurance, weekly sickness and
accident benefits and hospital and
surgical payments. Six thousand
workers and their families, a total
of approximately $4,000, are COW
cred.
The policy, largest to be written
since the Michigan Councils social
security insurance program was
launched last year, specified:
$4,000 life insurance with
double indemnity; $4,000 dis
memberment benefit; 3-$25 week
ly sickness or accident benefits up
to So weeks: 4-Unlimited hospital
ward service up to 120 days on
any one sickness or accident. All
hospital costs and services, with
put exception, are paid under the
Plan; 5-Surgical payments accord
ing to fixed schedule running
from $5 to SITS; 6-Payment for
doctor calls. SIS is allowed for each
home or hospital visit by a doctor
and So for call at the doctors Of
flee.
Family benefits are financed
thru additional payments by the
worker made thru a checkoff ar
rangement with the company.

Heated Tulks
At Meetinu
Of Locdl I24
Delegates Named For
State Labor Rallys

The old saying, hot weather has
a tendency to make tempers flare,
proved just that at the meeting of
Local Union 124 Tuesday evening.
With one of the best turnouts of
the year on hand and the decal
girls being by far in the majority,
discussions seemed to center on the
recent conference held with the
manufacturers regarding the 60-40
split.
Following the report of the dele
gates the local went on record as
being opposed to any of the pro-
positions offered the decal trade at
the conference. The girls are very
bitter over the present setup, and
the unrest is growing with more
and more feeling of resentment.
We hope some means can be found
in the near future to settle this
controversial issue and have the
matter settled once and for all.
Once again we found it necess-
ary to levy fine on several shop
committees for non-attendance. The
kilnhands committee and general
shop committee from the Hall
China Co. were ordered to appear
at our next meeting on September
2 or be subject to $500 fine.
Bros. E. c. Armstrong and Nor
man Whippler were elected to re-
present the local at the West Vir-
ginia State Federation of Labor
convention which opens in Charles
ton on Sept. 25.
Bros. Tony Wynn and Harold
West were named delegates to the
Ohio State Federation of Labor
Convention to be held in Cincin-
natti on Sept. Is.
There seems to be a little mis-
understanding regarding shop COM
and their term of office.
For the benefit of all we repeat
the locals ruling on this matter.
Any member of a shop committee
having been duly elected to said
committee must serve until his

City Park Scene
Of Outing For
Cambridge Group

Cambridge, Ohio - The annua
employees picnic of the Universal
Potteries was held on Saturday
Aug. 16 at City Park. Once again
the committee went overboards in
their arrangements and provided
entertainment on a scale with the
potters' annual picnic. A little rain
in the late afternoon caused post
ponement Of some activities, but all
in all, the outing was a grand sue
cess.
Dancing wound up the days fes-
tivities with McCracken Orchestra
furnishing the music.
The first meeting in August vas
held on the 14th with a small nsn-
Der in attendance, perhaps because
of the heat. Several fans in the
Moose hall made it tenable.
The committee appointed to con-
tact sick and needy members made
reports on those members who are
off work due to injuries and illness.
The shop committee made re-
port on a few grievances. One
squabble concerned the girls in the
dipping shed having to wash
boards. This was settled by hiring
a boy to do this work temporarily
until board washer arrives and
is installed. Another problem was
the sharing of face stamping in the
decorating shop. This has been a
sore one for the girls, committee,
and firm for some time.
While two members received
cards to take up other
work, four old members and two
new ones were added to the rolls.
The management of the Unlvef-
sal Potteries seems to be going all
out for machinery, remodeling and
modernization of their plants. In
the last year, lining, tinting, decal
and sweeping machines have been
bought. No one can deny that these
save labor and at times cause dlI-
ficulties in employment.
A cafeteria was opened for en-
ployees this week. 1t remains to be
seen what amount of success this
will meet.
Guy Bates has returned to work
after being off about month be-
cause of an injury.
William Phillips has been off
since April because of injuries as
has George Pontius for operations
and illness.
Albert Reed is enjoying leave
If absence.
Fred Henderson, who has been
,ff work several months with heart
rouble shows improvement.-O.C.

Clarksburg, w. Va. = The em-
ployees of the d. E. McNicol Pot
terry Co. and their families enjoyed
full day of fun at Laurel Park
on Aug. 16. The day set aside for
our annual outing will long be re-
membered, for everything went off
in fine shape with nary an accident
to mar the record.
The party got under way at
noon and kept moving at fast
pace throughout the day, with a
program of varied entertainment.
The days festivities came to a
close with a dance in the evening.
The boys from the clayshop hung
it on their buddies from the kiln
shed in the soft ball tussle and the
tug -of-war. The only casualties re-
port in the latter event was the
loss of one silk shirt by Bro. Cott-
rill. Perhaps the boys from the
clayshop pulled him right out of
his shirt.
Howard Brinkley was emcee for
the day and handled everything in
his usual manner, adding few ad
Ibis now and then for the amuse-
ment of his listeners.
In the field events, Tommy Ward
proved too fast for the rest of the
field in the foot race for men oven
18years; Rose Mazzi was the win
ner in the foot race for women over
18, and Dick Bevan nosed out Dick
Adams in the baseball throwing
contest by six inches.
Paul Bragle gave a fine exhibit
tion with the galloping dominoes,
while Bob Allison was teaching the
boys, to old to participate in the
sporting events, few tricks with
the paste boards.
The Labor Management commit
tee deserves a big hand for their
tireless efforts in our behalf, and
we are looking forward to next
year when we are sure the outing
will be bigger and better than ever.
Bro. Forest Sargent and his wife
are working out their notices and
will move to Governeur, N. Y.
where Bro. Sargent will enter the

Strike MdY
Holt tShipping
In All Ports
Support Pledged By
Natl Maritime Union

New York (LPA)-A nationwide
strike against Isthmian Steamship
Co., a subsidiary of the u. S. Steel
Corp, was called last week by the
Seafarers Int'l Union-AFL which
quickly approved resolution
threatening to extend the walkout
to the entire shipping industry if
Taft Hartley penalties are invoked.
Secretary-treasurer j. T. Shuler
of the SIU's Atlantic and Gulf
Coast districts, said that the strike
would affect nearly 100 Isthmian
ships and 5000 unlicensed seafar-
ers.
Chief issues are the unions de-
mands for the hiring hall and ro-
tary shipping lists. A membership
meeting here of $500 STU men,
bers voted to close down any other
steamship company that took over
an Isthmian ship or its cargo. The
meeting heard pledges of support
from the Masters, Mates G. Pilots
AFL and the Natl Maritime Union.
Previously Port Agent Paul Hall
noted that contracts held by the
Sailors Union of the Pacific, with
which the STU is affiliated, expire
on Sept. 80. Indications point to
an old-fashioned brawl should the
shipowners try to knock the props
from under the SUP's union hiring
hall, which they rightfully enjoy at
the present time.

contract expiration come," said

Rail Unions
Finish Case
For Increase
Union Demands zoe
Hourly Wage Boost

Chicago (LPA) Seventeen
unions, representing over 100000
Incorporating" workers on the
sisa of .he testimony before an
arbitration board here on the
unions demand for a 20c-an-hour
wage increase.
Chiefs of nearly all the unions
testified, giving an account of the
skills of the employees they repre-
sent and submitting evidence to
show that earnings Of the employees
failed by far to measure up to their
skills and responsibilities.
Another major point made by the
witnesses was that, contrary to
propaganda of the carriers, wage
increases through the years have
not added to rail costs. On the
contrary, productivity has outstrip-
ped the wage boosts and thus labor
costs have declined even while
wage rates have risen, they de-
clared.
For example, President T. S.
Carroll of the Maintenance of Way
Employees, disclosed that while ave-
rage wages of sectionmen have
more than doubled the past quarter
century, the proportion of operat-
ing costs represented by their
wages declined from 4.46% to
1880. Also, Eli T. Oliver, econo-
mist for the unions, declared that
rail labor productivity is now at a
peacetime peak.
Another major development on
the rail wage front was action
taken by the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, at
it's San Francisco convention, call
ing for a drive for a 30c-an-hour
pay raise.
A few weeks ago, general chair
men of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen also went on record in
favor Of launching a wage move
ment.
Up to now, these two brother
hoods and three others which rep
resent 100000 Operating" work
ers = that is, engaged in direct
train, engine and yard service =
have been concentrating solely on
a movement for changes in rules
working conditions. AS
4 result of the latest developments,
The five may also unite a simultan-
,ous drive for wage increases.
