Federation GROUP

! Erwin, Tenn. - Greetings from
Local Union 103 at Erwin, "The
Land of Sunshine. We are indeed
happy to report everything under
control and attendance at union
meetings very good.
Interest is running high on the
resolutions going to this years
convention. The proposals have all
passed their third reading and
have been forwarded to headquart-
ers.
Special interest has been shown
by the kilnplacers. 1t is very evil
ldent by their discussions on the
floor that they are Interested in the
eight hour day and want to go
along with other kilnmen and all
progressive actions of other Locals.
We were happy to see one more
of our brothers step up to a super
visory position recently. Bro. John
Reynolds assumed the duties of
Clayshop foreman on April 10th.
Bro. John served in various posi-
tions and on numerous committees
in Local 103. We will miss his ac-
tive participation in Local affairs,
but can find solace when we think
of having one so congenial and
broadminded as a "boss."
The Vestal Lumber Co., who re-
Gently built a band mill near the
plant of the Southern Potteries,
has signed a contract with the Car
penters and Joiners International
Union of the American Federation
of Labor. They have a very fine
agreement embracing many advan-
tages for employees. Some of our
members assisted the employees
and representatives of the A. F. of
l.. in negotiations with the firm.
Bro. William Campbell Of the
Central Labor Council of Erwin
and Bro. Francis J. Sanders of Lo-
cal 103 are the delegates named to
the State Federation of Labor con-
vention in Knoxville on May 3rd.
Local 103 feels highly honored in
having one of its members a vice
president on the State Federation
Board and are looking forward to
maintaining this status. Because of
this fact, our people will be bet
ter informed this fall as to the la
Dor record of various candidates for
office in the state, and a greater
number of people will vote against
the anti-labor candidates.
We are sorry we do not have
time and space to give more pub
licity to our fine Pottery Bowling
League. They have received quite
bit of publicity through our local
papers and radio broadcasts and we
are proud of them.
Looking forward to a great con-
vention we say, Eau revoir. 20. C.

Cambridge Potters
Discuss Adoption
OF Pension Plan

Cambridge, Ohio-Our first meet
ing in April was quite long ses-
sion with many tangled questions
up for discussion. 1t was not unlike
house-cleaning. Attendance was
fair and a great number gave voice
of their opinions and ideas. This is
the proper medium for straighten-
ing out our problems and promot-
ing forward steps for the trade.
Some complaints mentioned by
shop committees were passed by
for lack Of representation of par
ties involved. The lack of interest
IN their own problems by some
members is beyond our understand
ing. Let's all cooperate with our
representatives. Come to meetings
and speak up or listen. You may
learn something.
Resolutions are plentiful this
year as we notice they are piled
high on the secretary's desk. The
committee is busy getting them
into shape to forward them to
headquarters before May 1st, the
deadline.
| hear discussions here and there
concerning a retirement plan for
potters. This seems very much in
order at this time as other indus
tries are working on the same sys-
tenn. Social security is good but
not good enough for those who
spend a lifetime on a job and then
must retire on a mere pittance. We
nope to hear a favorable report on
his from the coming convention.
The old question of rest rooms
n plant is under fire again. This
las boiled and simmered several
lines in past years. 1t has been
out to the firm that they
10 not comply with state laws on
iuch matters. Promises and excuses
laye been the rule in the past. The
'esults of the last meeting with
he firm in this respect have not
,een announced at this time.
Charles McKenna, caster, died
April 10 at st. Francis Hospital
.fter long illness. He will be
realty missed by his shopmates.-

.Medt Packers
Resolve To
.Breuk Strike

Chicago (LPA) - The meat
packing industry, having long ago
tied local law enforcement agencies
to it's butchers apron strings was
trying last week TO enlist the fed
eral governments aid in its cam
paign to break the strike of
the United Packinghouse Workers.
While Kansas City police were
beating up 110 Cudahy pickets,
Wilson & Co. demanded that the
Federal government cease it's at
tempts to bring the packers and
the union to the bargaining table.
In a vicious demonstration of
police brutality, the entire 70-man
Kansas City, Kans., police force
swept down upon a UPW local
union hall near the city's Cudahy
plant. Police Chief Eli Dahlin bawl-
ed from loudspeaker in a police
car "We're not going to take any
more gaff." Then his men attack
ed workers gathered outside the
union hall, and after pummeling
them with clubs invaded the hall
itself.
The raid put ten union members,
eight men and two women, in the
hospital and injured another 100.
Chief Dahlin had instructed the
police "to crack skulls if they ask
for it, no mater who they are, and
that means strike leaders and all,
even member of the city's legal
staff if he interferes." Asst City
James Barnes is also one
of UPW's lawyers.
When another union lawyer de-
manded that Mayor Clark Z. Tuck
er investigate the police action, the
mayor replied that the police had
the power to act "in an emergen-
cy." While Cudahy has asked the
local court for an injunction
against mass picketing, no court
order had been issued against the
union at the time the police at
tack took place.
The Wilson firm, meanwhile,
wired the Federal Mediation &
Cancellation Service asking it to

Hosiery Unit Ousted
By CIO Textile Union

Atlantic City (LPA)-The Am

Urges Critics To
Be On Hand For

Sebring, Ohio-Local Union a.
has a very important matter to be
decided at their next meeting on
Monday evening, May 3. At this
meeting delegates will be elected
to represent US at the convention
in Atlantic City in June. We would
like to see every member present at
this meeting and especially those
who have made accusations Of
certain clique running the Local.
Now is the time to make a change
if you are Of that belief, and the
proper and democratic manner in
which to do it is by use of the bal
lot.

New electric whirlers, a MUST
in the minds of all finishers, have
finally become a reality. Although
we have had power whirlers on
some jobs for over a year, greatly
reducing the physical hardship i'm
posed by the hand whirlers, the
full benefits to be gained by power
whirlers has been somewhat held
up, due to the inability Of the firm
to secure the necessary material
for installing piping to carry away
the dust. The bottleneck has final
ly been broken and the complete
units have been in operation for
over a week and prove very salts
factory From a health standpoint,
the elimination of dust from the
power whirlers is a forward step
in eliminating silicosis hazards in
the shop.
The same explanation as above
might well be applied to our new
dipping machine. 1t has taken over
a year to get material for complete
assembly. This machine will be in
operation within a month.
Election Of delegates for this
years convention will be held at
our meeting on May 6. The date
has been set forward one week to
afford all eligibles an opportunity
to be present. Every member should
feel it his duty TO be present and
support those he thinks best quail
fled to represent our interests at
the convention.
Following a series of meetings
in which all employees of the
Cronin China Co. participated, un-
animous approval was sanctioned
for an endowment fund TO furnish
a room in the Mercy Hospital in
Canton, as a memorial to three Of
our departed brothers who gave
their lives in the fight for demo-
cracy, namely, Verne Cunningham,
Harold Mccullough and Lester
Brooks.
We feel no better way could be
found to honor these departed bro
hers than by maintaining living
memorial to serve humanity, in
memory of those who made the
supreme sacrifice that all may
and practice the doctrines
If a true christian spirit, found
,nly under the banner of a true
democracy.
We also wish the trade to know
he Cronin China Co. has followed
uit and will furnish a room in the
Mercy Hospital.
AS to social activities, Sister
Dora Slaughter was given din
Ter on the shop in celebration of
Ter 65th birthday. The hOnored
,ueSt was the recipient of many
-ifts, plus the we'll wishes of shop
mates.
Kenneth Drake, glaze maker, is
ack on the job after a years
bsence, due to illness.
From a political standpoint, the
members of Local Union 10 will do
heir share to defeat the enemies
f organized labor at the polls on
lection day. We join with other
.ocals throughout the trade in this
espect and feel the only way to
ring about the repeal of the Taft
Iartley law is to throw out those
who are working
gainst labor's interests.
We are still looking forward to
nat long awaited visit from Presi-
ent Duffy. We read in the Herald
here he has visited other Locals

price schedules.
USA President Philip Murray, il
a counter-statement pointed out
that the corporations own esti-
mates are that the cuts will de-
crease it's earnings by only $25,
100000. The February increases
alone were calculated to bring in
an additional $28,OOO,0OO. Price
boosts in December 1947 and Jan
uary 1948 that went unchallenged
.Swill further up the income of a
Corporation which last year show
ed a net profit, after taxes, of
$153,0O0,0O0.
President Murray said, however,
that USA will abide by the terms
of tie 1947 contract which has an
other year to run. "The union has
agreed to two-year no-strike con-
tract" he said. "We will live up to
that contract"
The CIO chieftain revealed that
USA had offered to extend the bar
gaining period long enough to see
whether or not the combines price
reductions, which have been widely
applauded by other corporations,
actually reduce consumers living
costs. But US Steel was unwilling
to accept the offer and broke off
all wage negotiations with the
union.
Among the industrialists ap-
plauding "big steel's" action were
General Electric and Westinghouse
Electric heads. They have inform
ed the United Electrical Workers
which is attempting to secure wage
increases that they too will cut
prices and will oppose wage de-
mands as ''inflationary."
GE's list of price cuts does not
involve any of TIE items of electric
al equipment purchased by the
ordinary consumer.
Union economists here point out
that no decline in consumers prices
feed be expected from niggadly re-
ductions granted by profit-swollen
heavy industries. Oil and freight
rate increases in the past month
more than neutralize any advant-
age to the housewife.
President Murray told reporters
that since the union signed it's last
wage contract in April 1947, US
Steel has increased prices of fin
ished products by $11.32 a ton,
while the pres sent reduction
amounts to only 1924 a ton. He
added while "manhours worked byl
the corporations employees have in
creased by 1870 over 1916, steel
output increased by nearly 34%6."
He blasted the industry's claim
that continued high output is not
assured by citing Fairless' admiss-
ion to a Congressional committee
that even without reference to mil
itary needs and the European re-
covery program domestic demand
alone will insure peak capacity for
at least two years"
Fairless stated that "lower prices
will be applicable to a number of
steel products which are bought by
the consumer in the form in which
they are manufactured by our sub
But President Murray
pointed out that the price reduc-
tions actually will average "about
a half a cent a pound"
US SteePs last weeks cuts do
pot affect the increased prices of
Semi-finished steel to smaller steel
products manufacturing firms.
