upon the study of his charts.

Union Labor Best

Dallas, Tex, (LPA)-Even anti
union employers can learn. That's
the moral of story that has come
out of Dallas, and which is going
to be told all around the world by
the "Voice of America" broadcasts.
A few months ago the superin-
tendent of large office building
was unwilling to use union labor
for the installation of an air-con-
ditioning system. The Dallar Build
ing & Construction Trades Council
AFL put the job on it's unfair list.
Work boged down. Non-union
men could be secured in only few
of the many skills needed. The own
ers caught on, fired the superin-
tendent and notified the Council
that they wanted the job to be all
union.
Only thirty days later the work
was completed-altho architects,

it would take all summer. So i'm

Walter Van FOssan
Visits Headquarters

Walter Van Fossan, honorary
member of the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters, stopped
in headquarters Tuesday afternoon
to renew friendship with Brother
hood officials.
Bro. Van Fossan who now makes
his home at Fort Pierce, Florida,
stated his trip north did not start
out as a pleasure jaunt as he and
Mrs. Van Fossan were called to the
bedside of their son, George, in
Canton, Ohio, who was seriously ILL.
A speedy recovery of their sons
illness tends to enlighten their trip
back home.
Mr.. Van Fossan, while working at
his trade as tinter at the Hall

of Local Union 124 and formerly
held the post of recording secre-
tary. He visited his old buddies at
the plant and was deeply depress-

"We hope our Cleveland exhibit

5Oth Anniversary
To Be Celebrated
By Loea! Union A

Sebring, Ohio-Local Union A
held their regular meeting on Mon
day, August 8, with nothing Of a
startling nature to come before
the local. Quite a few exercised
their privilege Of voting on the
referendum now before the trade,
but nothing what it should be COM
pared to our membership. The polls
will again be open on August %
and we hope every member will
take this opportunity to register
their choice.
Our city fathers are contemplat-
ing building new city hall and
we sincerely hope they carry the
plan through, providing some plans
can be worked out to include a
large meeting hall in the new struc-
ture. This would afford an oppor-
tunity for potters in Sebring to
hold their regular meetings in suit
able quarters. At present we are
compelled to meet in quarters not
far past the barn stage structure.
Local a has sent representatives
to meet with council on the matter
but to date nothing of definite as
surance has been promised. We
feel it only fair to have our say in
this matter as the workers in our
fair city pay four-ffths of the
taxes. Since a bond issue must be
passed before it becomes a reality,
we can rest assured the voters will
have the last say.
Local A has started the ball roll
ing for a golden jubilee celebration
in 1949. Committees will soon be
and plans made to mark
the occasion with fitting ceremon-
les. Local Al was organized in
1899.

The case on which examiner
Louis Plost ruled was that of the

discharged 18 workers because
their snoopy foremen reported
them active in organizing an NFLU
local.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles,
NFLU Attorney A. H. Shullman
and West Coast Director Hank
Hasiwar were waiting their turn
to tell another trial examiner the
true story of. the vicious strike
breaking tactics of the DiGiorgio

timony designed to obscure the
issues and get an injunction aginst

0Ieo Tax Repeal
Barred In Senate

Washington, d. c. QLNS)-Any
hope that a bill to repeal the dis
criminatory taxes on margarine
might be acted on by the Senate in
the special session was ended when
Senator j. William Fullbright of
Arkansas dropped plans to tack an
oleo amendment to the anti-infla-
tion measure.
The oleo tax repeal bill passed
the House, 260 to LOG, in the regu-
lar session and was unanimously
approved by the Senate Finance
Committe. In the last minute rush
to adjourn the special session, the
Senate did not vote on the bill and
it died.
Senator Fullbright had proposed
to add the repeal bill to the cost
of-living measure, at the special
session, but the Senate voted to bar
any amendments not considered
germane to initiation.

Is New Members
Initiated AT Last
Meeting Of No. rs

Buffalo, N. Y.-Local 76 met on
Friday, August 9th with Vice Pre-
sident Ed Schuster taking Presi-
dent Heintz' place while he attend
ed the Firemen's Convention.
Margie Mroz acted as Recording
Secretary in the absence of Doro-
thy Donovan who is confined to
Mercy Hospital.
Many matters were brought up
and discussed in the Shop Commit
Itee Report. The meeting between
the Turner's and the Firm, in re-
gard to unfavorable conditions, was
settled to the satisfaction of the
Turner's. A new system of turning
the cups from conveyor direct
from the Zero is to be started as
soon as possible and the Turner's
agreed to wait and see how this
worked out before requiring any
changes on their present setup.
1t was reported that to date no
boy has been put to work stripping
moulds on the Miller Machine, Sec
ond shift, in spite of the fact that
this was agreed upon when girl
quit the machine.
Another matter of interest to the
girls on the Glazing end of the
Mangle, is that the conveyor which
feeds the Mangle from the Glazing
machine is too low and causes them
to do a lot of unnecessary stoop-
ing. AS this conveyor is not bolted
to the floor and would be easy to
raise it was felt that both the Firm
and the girls would benefit if it
were raised to comfortable posi-
tion.

new members who were initiated:

ganized workers on election day"
Zaritsky added.
President Truman stated that he
was sure that neither the Hatters
Union or any other union wished
to return to the days of the Dan
bury Hatters Case, and pledged
continued opposition to anti-labor
Legislation.
Presenting Truman with hand
some union made hat, bearing the
Hatters' label, Zaritsky explained:
"To us not every hat is the same.
If you will note, this hast has a
union label under the sweatband.
This label is symbol of the fact
that this hat was made by the
hands of skilled workmen who are
veterans in the battle for the real
ization of a better life for those
who work.
"We feel that this is the kind of
hat that you should throw into
the presidential campaign ring.
Please accept this token and this
symbol with the heartfelt wishes
of our great membership for the
success of your program and for
the realization of the hopes and
aspirations of the great masses of
the American people"
Zaritsky told reporters later
that: Certainly here in America
we never want to behold the spc-
tacle of a candidate for the high
est office in the land Haunting
scab hat in the face of American
labor" The Hat Workers are giving
union label hats to the other presi-
Dental candidates too. But only
Truman is getting an endorsement.

President Duffy
Pays Surprise
Visit To LU 122

Cambridge, Ohio - Presiden-
Duffy paid a surprise visit to oul
meeting on August 10. When we
walked into our meeting at Moose
hall there was Mr.. Duffy standing
talking with local officials. He haG
been to GAINESVILLE on official bus
mess and stopped over in Cam
bridge on his way back to head
quarters.
Marie Adams, vice chairman
presided in the absence of Bro
Coffey and Immediately called up
on our national head for a few re-
marks. The Brotherhood chief
stated he was here to answer ques-
tions the members might ask con-
cerning the court case and referen-
dunn on officers salaries. This went
on for three hours and | can't be-
lieve that anyone present can say
that they did not learn something.
Norman Whippler and associates
were here last month and Mr..
Duffy's visit was to counter and
refute their accusations. Being the
very capable orator he is, he can
hold his own with any of them.
Many of the members voiced
ignorance of the scope and magni-
tude of the court case while others
showed disgust at it being argued
so often on our local floor. All
want it over with and anyone
duly punished.
The picnic committee is making
elaborate plans for our picnic on
Fl. Tickets are now on sale
throughout the shop. Many fine
prizes will be given away.-O. c..

'CIarksburg Local
To Assess Fine
For Absanteeisnl

Clarksburg, w. Va.-The hall
was filled to capacity at our last
session, marking the second
straight meeting such enthusiasm
has been shown as the president
raped his gavel, calling the meet
| ing to order.
The officers of the local were
pleased with such a fine turnout as
the third and final reading of an
attendance resolution was read and
passed without a dissenting vote.
The law in reality calls for a $1.00
fine for any member who fails to
attend one meeting a month and
becomes effective beginning with
our first meeting in September.
We feel real forward progress is
being made in the adoption of such
a resolution. 1t will assure better
attendance at meetings and will
keep our members better informed
of what is going on in the shop. A
we'll informed member tends to be-
come a better member and in this
respect he not only tends to pro-
mote the interests of his trade in
dividually, but is lending his aid
in furthering the interest of the
trade in general, as well as pro-
noting the interests of organized
labor. In the latter respect it be-
hooves each and every one of US
to see that every member of our
family is registered in order to cast
their ballot in the coming national
election.
The polls will be open again at
our next meeting assuring all an
to vote in the referen-
dunn now before the trade. Every
member should exercise his or her
in this respect.
The new wash machine has been
installed in the decorating shop and
will soon be in operation with
satisfaction. A temporary
agreement has been agreed upon
for a trial period.
President Duffy was present at
the meeting and enlightened the
members on many things that are
happening throughout the trade.
The court case was given a |
airing and many ques- |
tions asked were answered very |
satisfactorily.
Bro. Ed. Davis is recuperating at
mis- home from a leg injury.
Sister Elizabeth Leroy is pat
ent in local hospital.
Howard Smith, foreman in the
decorating shop, is back on the job
after brief stay in the hospital.
All interested in forming a win
;er bowling league are asked to
contact Bro. Carl Shriver at once

Committee Flags
National Guards

Washington OPA)-Trade un-
ionists, whatever they may think
of the accelerated military defense
program of the federal govern
ment, got a good laugh out of the
dismay of the fat brass of 48 state
national guards last week.
An inter-service committee on
reserve forces, chaired by Assist
ant Secretary of the Army Gordon
Gray, took some lusty swings at
the national guards general inef-
ficiency as a defense force, and re-
commended that it be Incorporated
into the federal reserves. The state
guard politicians hit the ceiling.
Their pressure has so far kept De-
fense Secretary James Forrestal
from backing up the carefully con-
sidered report of the committee he
appointed.
One point in the report that un-
ion men heartily applauded was:
"To pose threat of artillery, tanks
or air power against citizens of
this country is hardly in keeping
with an foreseeable situation, and
not consistent with sound public
policy"
The committee added that the
heavily armed guard should not be
called out against strikers, or in
other cases of minor civil distur-
Dances" AS many a union man will
agree, the defense experts pointed
out that guard officers have nc
training for such duties, and they
should be dealt with by the regu
lar, local police.

Hutters Endorse Truman.
Give Hats To Candidates

Washington (LPA)-Max Zarit-
sky, president of the United Hat
ters, Cap & Millinery Workers Int
vUnion-AFL called on President
Truman in the White House this
week, and presented him with a
union label hat. He also pledged
Truman the hat workers support
in his fight for reelection.
The veteran union leader told the
President that millions of work
ers have been heartened by the
valiant efforts you have made dur
ing your term of office to proceed
in the spirit of Franklin d. Roose-
welt and to clothe the principles
of democratic government with real
meaning for the laboring man and
his family"
Zaritsky told the President that
the hatters were pleased with the
Democratic party's pledge to re-
peal the Taft-Hartley law, and
with the promises of social legis-
lation contained in the Democratic
party platform. He said that the
union would work for the election
of a Congress that would enact
legislation to carry out that plat
form.
Labor is very much distressed
at the manner in which Congress
has seen fit to block any real hous-
ing program. This with us is a key
issue. No party or candidate that
fails to make a fight for legisla-
tion to halt the further drift to in
flation and which permits the cost
of living to rise unchecked can ex-
pect to obtain the support Of or
