Sebring Will Be
Deserted Village
Saturday, June Il

/ Sebring, Ohio-The members of
Local Union A turned out in fine
manner at their meeting on June /.
The occasion marked the nomina-
ton of officers for the new term.
The election will be held at our
meeting on June IA and we sincere
ly hope the same interest will be
shown in supporting those best
qualified to guide the destinies of
Local Union A. :
\ We note that Local Union 1872 is
receiving a visit from our national
officials. 1t has been a long time
since we have had the pleasure of
their presence at one of our ses-
sions and we want to go on record
right now as extending a standing
invitation to drop in on us any
time. Such visits tends to instill
new spirit among the membership.
One of our enterprising young
casters has started a garden and his
best friends ever willing to lend
helping hand suggested he water
his tomato plants every night at
midnight and they would grow big
ger and faster than his neighbors.
The enterprising young farmer fol-
lowed this advice religiously and
his neighbors report every night
they see him wandering through
the garden with a garden hose in
one hand and a lantern in the 9th
er. Just for the record Nose, how
are the tomatoes doing?
Well next Saturday is picnic day
and we don't mind telling you Sc
bring will be deserted village.
Practically every potter in our fair
city will make his appearance on
the midway at Idora Park some
time during the day. A few of the
more optimistic brothers have in
vited friends to ride back home with
them in that new Buick automobile.
Bro. Frank Jones, a former turn
er at the French-Saxon China Co.,
has sold his home on Penn Ave.
and is moving to Kent, Ohio.-O.

Detroit (LPA)-With Ford wage
negotiations scheduled to open
!. June Id, the United Auto Workers
SEIO last week celebrated the 13C
wage boost won from the Chryslel
Corp. Ford vice-president John S
Bugas is reported to be trifle
unhappy over the coming negotia-
tions. The Ford proposal that auto
workers accept wage cut fell flat
ter than Bugas' head when Chrys-
ler and General Motors gave pay
boosts of 13c and lie respectively.
Preliminary bargaining sessions
on subjects other than wages are
showing very little progress. Union
sources revealed that discussion
last week centered around a Taft
Hartley immunity clause.
Such a clause would protect the
: union from responsibility for the
Factions of workers in wildcat
strikes. Ford is using many pro-
visions of TIL as bargaining points
to take away gains that UAW has
made in the past.
Under the present UAW-Ford
contract, there is a union shop in
all Ford plants except where pro-
hibited by state law. The contract
specifically provides that this is
to continue until July Is, 1949, pro-
vided the UAW has complied with
the union shop authorization pro-
visions of the Taft Hartley act. The
company has tried to wreck this
by refusing to allow NLRB to hold
union shop elections on the plant
grounds.

Right To Work
Bill Denounced

Santa Fe, n. NJ. LPA) = Ap-
peals for support of an amendment
to the bill of rights of the New
Mexico state constitution which
would guarantee the "God-given
right to work" are falling flat.
Archbishop Edwin V. Byrne of
Santa Fe has attacked the proposed
amendment as one which, eff it
does not outlaw unionism, deals it a
death blow" Protestant clergymen
are also joining in the fight against
Proposition No. 8 which will ap-
pear on the ballot in the Novem-
Der elections.
In companion articles in the cur
rent issue of North American La
bor, magazine, two young clergymen
in the state urge a "no" vote on
Proposition No. 8. Henry H. Hay
den, minister to the students at
the University of New Mexico,
warns that at would set class
against class and group against
group. 1t would cause those too ig-
norant and timid to organize for
their own rights to ride on the
backs of those who have sacrificed
in the labor movement to bring fair
wages into being. By catering to
those in the state who want cheap
labor and wish to take no respon-
sibility for those laborers as worth
while human beings this bill would
peonize New Mexico and make it
the pawn of reactionaries."

added their own complaints to those
of union leaders that the union
shop polls are being held too long
after unions have requested them.
They admitted, too, that the rash
of demands for the authorization
ballots has clogged the boards en-

At a subsequent Joint Committee
hearing last week, committee coun-
sci Thomas Shroyer, former MI

procedures with NLRB men. In

.Warehousemen To
Elect Officers At
The Next Meeting

Local Union sc held very inter-
esting meeting Monday evening
with some very lively discussions on
the various subjects brought be-
fore the Local.
Chief and foremost in this cate
CORY was the usual complaint of
making up time lost when a holiday
falls within the work week. In
plants where the five-day week is
in effect, some of the members
work on Saturday to make up this
time. This is all well and good and
the privilege of the individual to
do so.
But we also must keep in mind
our right to demand premium pay
for such work. As we have said
so many times in the past, when
such situations occur and the time
is to be made up in the manner as
mentioned above, the proper pro-
cedure to follow is contact your
foreman and have an understand
ing as to the exact rate of pay for
such services.
Nomination of officers for the
next six months was held with
the election scheduled for our next
meeting on Monday evening, June
Ia. Every member should feel it
his duty to be present at this
meeting.
We are anxiously waiting for the
most important June day in pot
ters' history-The annual picnic at
Idora Park on June IL. We hear
the committee has gone overheard
in their efforts for this years out
ing, so we look forward to a real
day of pleasure.-O. c. sc.

ages of "a" grade ware, were the
chief factors in the Unions argu-
ments in successfully attaining a
general 10c an hour increase eff
fecting approximately 5000 pot
ters, beginning May 18th.
No increases had been granted to
this extent in any of the larger
industries or related industries to
the Sanitary potteries at the time
of negotiations, nor for that mat
ter, very few since that time have
been negotiated equal to this
amount without cost-of-livlng
clauses or other strings being at
tached.
The new agreements also includ-
ed changing the vacation require
ments from a specific date of hir-
ing. 1t was further agreed that ex-
isting wage inequalities on the re-
spective plants would be negotiated
between each Local Union and the
Plant management. These negotia-
tions have begun locally and ad-
ditional adjustments scaling from
three (3) cents per hour to as high
as twenty (20) cents an hour addi-
tional have been attained since
leaving Pittsburgh.
The Standard Corporation Off
cials also agreed to meet Commit
tee, along with National officials,
any time during the year to dis
cuss and, if both sides could reach
agreements, establish joint Pen
sion Fund. This proposal is going
to be carried out by the Union as
progressively as possible to what
we hope is a successful Pension
plan.

whole subdivisions were developed
and sold out. The spotty develop

the past. '
This great change started slowly
in the middle 1930s, and was In
full swing when World War II
started. This slowed down and
momentarily changed the greatest

country had ever seen. It Is pity

During the war building kept up

fers a sound foundation for con-
tinued building activity.
While there Is now no indication
that overall building costs will be
markedly lower during the coming
year and while some wage and
material price increases are antici-
pated, the industry's efforts to sta
bilize prices is meeting with some
success.
Cost reductions are being effected
through more efficient project man
agement, the use of more improved
power tools and equipment, and an
increasingly close cooperation be-
tween owners, architects and
builders.
Materials More Plentiful.
The supply of most materials is
improving, but deliveries in the
steel and metal lines are slow IN
this area as elsewhere throughout
the country. Reinforcing bars and
structural steel sections are gener-
ally in short supply.
In most trades the available sup
ply of labor is sufficient to man
large building program, but there
is a shortage Of bricklayers, plas-
teres and sheet metal workers
which slows down many jobs.

Title Z presents an entirely new
program, and provides for yield

that at least a reasonably stable
market has been reached.
Added to the contemplated volume
Of private construction, there is a
large backlog of public building,
some of which will probably get
under way next year. Among these
projects are the National Institute
of Health at Bethesda, the United
States Courthouse for the District
of Columbia, the General Account
ing Office, a new Senate once
Building, remodeling of the Senate
Chamber Of the Capitol and the
Veterans Hospital in Arlington.
This list may be supplemented by
the extensive plans for the further
development of the Old Soldiers
Home and the hospital center on
the Naval Observatory grounds.
The school building program which
is urgently needed in this area Is
approximated alone at nearly s15,-
100000.
Consideration of all of the factors
involved leads to the conclusion
that, in keeping pace with the
growing demands of Metropolitan
Washington, the construction indus
try as a whole should enjoy q good
year in 194e.
