man with a mouthful of bill
lard balls. He does this from
time to time to keep the mus
cles flexible for his job, which
is blowing fancy glass bottles
for perfumes and five-gallon
water jars.
Hamer, 81, and native of
Baltimore, Md, is one of only
$50 skilled glass blowers left in
the country. He was at the Nor
rison Hotel in Chicago last week
for the convention of his union,
the Glass Bottle Blowers Assn,
ALL, along with a few other
of these skilled manipulators of
molten glass.
Hamer says such extraordi-
nary distention of the cheeks is
not necessarily the mark of the
skilled glass blower. Nor is
tremendous chest expansion.

diaphragm, others from the

ever, were of small concern to

1910, when first introduced.
TWO such machines dis
placed the labor of 80 men,
which became headache to
the tight craft union of 100
skilled glass blowers that the
GBBA was in those days.
Billy" Warren of Montreal,
now So, who was a member of
the unions executive board
from 1920 to 1916, says there
were any number of gloomy
predictions that the GBBA
would fold up like a wet shoe
box as a result of mechanical
ton of the industry.
But the GBBA was born in
struggle. and so it has a larger
membership today than at any
time in its history. Glass blow
ers first attempted TO form an
American union in 1912. The
attempt was made. according TO

posed was finally signed by COM

THE lessons second chapter
was the union solidarity that has
made it impossible for employers
in the Danville-Hoopeston and
Indianapolis triangle to secure in
tervention by complying unions.
Five of the six locals in this
area have 100 per cent dues
paying membership. While no
local has a closed or union shop,
members find no difficulty in
signing up new employees dur
ing their first shift.
The CIO shipbuilders, whose
mother" local in Camden, N. j.,
recently affiliated with the local
Chamber of Commerce rather
than pay per capita to the CIO
council, .vainly sought toehold
in the area for six weeks. Dur
ing this time the "Ship" repre-
sentative was unable to secure a

in this area now admit.
They learned this lesson the
hard way, under instruction from
six locals of the Mine, Mill &

chapter came in the form of 3
63-day strike that resulted when
the Allith-Prouty Tool & Hard

While it took only five days
of the strike to compel them to

they would accept the wages and

The Mundt-Nixon bill was con-
dernned in another resolution,
and it's defeat demanded, while
still another listed long series
of fascist measures already in
effect in the U. S.
This resolution pointed ouf
that World War II came "as a
result of such an intense cam
paign against communism that
we completely overlooked the
greater menace of fascism."
The Conference also asked that
efforts be increased to compel
Congress to appropriate funds
for more veterans hospitals.
Three resolutions dealt with edu-
cation.
ONE condemned the anti-labor
propaganda contained in most
school textbooks. and protested

organized labor. This statement
was sent to the foremost text

Another asked that Federal aid

other educational institutions in
order that program of work

their official history. "in secret
and by stealth" But by the end
of the Civil War. there were
enough convinced and defer
mined unionists among the
glass blowers TO hold a conven-
ton.
And in 1867, the Philadelphia
convention adopted the unions
first constitution, with the 1890
meeting voting to affiliate with
the knights of Labor.
TODAY the GBBA has the
glass container industry 1907
organized. However, prior to
the formation of the CLOS glass
workers, the union took in only
the skilled Owens machine OPP
orators. Today it includes in all
glass container workers.
Like every other union in the
U. S., the GBBA is having Taft
Hartley trouble. But they in
tend to go on fighting ''the in
famous act" and to maintain
their wage scales. These average
from 95 cents an hour for un-
skilled workers, two-thirds of
their membership, to $1.35 for
the highly skilled. The skilled
rate goes as high as $1.50 per
hour on the West coast.

Nearly $50 delegates to the Ma

Legionnaires, converting in the
Hotel Sherman last week end,
changed the name of their or
ganization to "The National Con-

This action was taken because
of past American Legion denial
of charters to union labor posts,
and to broaden the conference
base to include union men from
other veterans CARNATIONS.

conference constitution will now
permit membership in the Con-
