HOSPITAL Benefits INCREASED
UNDER GROUP INSURANCE PLAN

than $4.00 per day, in fact the
average was $3.50 per day fol
ward accommodations. In view Of
this fact it was decided to increase
the hospital daily benefits to
$3.50 defective Sept. /, 1948).
Copy of letter from the general
agent follows:
East Liverpool, Ohio
July, 1948
National Brotherhood
Of Operative Potters
East Liverpool, Ohio.
Gentlemen:
In view of the fact that hospital
rates have been materially increas-
ed over the last few years, the
daily hospital benefit as provided
under the N. B. o. P. Group policy
has been proven to be inadequate
for the minimum of care: Conse-
quently, in view of the promise of
this agency to keep the coverage
up-to-date, it has been decided to
increase the daily hospital benefit
as of September 1, 1948, from $4.00
to $3.50 which (it is our under
standing) is the average minimum
ward rate in Ohio and neighboring
states.
The new premium effective Sep
tember l, 1948, will be $500 per
month for male risks and 1925 for
female risks. This includes cost of
hospital benefit of $3.50 per day
limit 10 days-in addition to $4,000
per week disability benefits for men
and $500 per week for women as
well as $500 group life insurance
and $500 additional, non-occupa-
tional, accidental death benefit for
both men and women. Said prem
ium is subject to review May /,
1949, and we are hopeful that fav-
orable experience will justify a re-
duction at that time.

Wage Conference Opens Sept. z
Salary Increases
Are JustifiabIe
Says Buffalo 0. C.

Buffalo, N. Y. - During the
month of August the members of
: the National Brotherhood of OPP
erative Potters, of which Local No.
76 is member, are being asked
to vote on resolution passed in
the 1948 Convention at Atlantic
City this month. This resolution
which was adopted by unanimous
vote at the 1948 Convention, re-
stores the salaries granted to our
National Officers in the 1914 Con-
vention, and is to be submitted to
vote of all Locals within the N.
B. 0. p.
President Duffy has devoted his
life to the interest of his fellow
working men. 1t was because of his
interests in the labor movement
that he was eminently fitted to as
sumo the Presidency of the N, B.
o. P. when called upon to do so.
Since assuming this high office he
has unselfishly given his time to
the interests of our organization.
The action of those taking this
matter of salary increase out of
the organization, and into the
courts is to be deplored and it did
not serve the best interests of the
membership as a whole. The ac-
tion of the last convention which
had the largest number of dele
gates ever to attend our conven-
tion, in reaffirming the decision of
the 1914 convention, by a unani-
mouse vote, proves that these dele
gates voted for harmony and the
best interests of our organization.
The delegates sent from each Local
have the authority to amend or
change the laws of our constitu-
tion and these laws are changed
only for the best interests of the
organization.
If the delegates have gone on
record as being in favor of restor-
ing the wage of our officers to that
which they received before July 1st,
we the members of all locals can do
no less than to back them up in the
interest and we'll being of the N.
B. o. P. You are being asked to
vote on the issue this month. What
will your answer be?
How you vote will decide wheth-
er we are going to have the same
smooth running organization we
have always had, or a disorganized
group so selfishly sought by that
little clique of willful people who
do not have the interests Of their
fellowmen at heart.
Let not selfishness, anger, pas
sion or heated discussion overrule
your good judgment Always bear
in mind that we are all united in
the same cause, striving for the ad-
vancement of our organization and
the elevation of our trade.-O. C.

of the change in benefits due to
requests by insured claimants who
found the hospital benefits to be
entirely inadequate to meet todays

Our membership will no doubt
be interested in learning that ap-

to protect yourself and family, at

During the past year PIP of our

more than $4,000 per month was

Postmaster General Donaldson
noted that the cost of handling par
eel post this year will run to about
$50, 100000 more than the parcel
postage sold. He added:

er J. Haden Alldredge believes the
railroads should stop handling any
package weighing less than 70
pounds-the top limit for parcel
post. He thinks the under TO pounds
business should move as parcel post
or, if the shipper prefers, by motor
freight, the cargo air lines, or
through freight forwarders. The
latter assemble small freight ship
ments for reshipment in big lots at
the most favorable rates.

.2Days Of Hearings Sci
On Margarine Bill

Two days Of public hearings or
the House-approved oleomargarine
tax repeal bill are scheduled for
May II and 18, with final Senate
passage likely around June l..
The short hearings were ordered
yesterday by the Senate Finance
Committee on the grounds that de-
bate in both House and Senate thus
far has about exhausted the sub
ject. Each side will be given a day
to state it's case. Those who don't
get to testify can file statements
for the record.
Margarine hackers believe the
committee will report out the bill,
following its referral to Finance by
a Senate vote of Al to 30. Final
passage is considered practically
certain.
The bill probably will be amend
ed by the committee chiefly to pro-
vide protection against public eating
places serving oleomargarine with
out telling the customers.
Senator Fulbright, the Arkansas
Democrat who led the margarine
forces in the Senate, is ready to
offer the committee two amend
ments to accomplish this end. One
would provide that eating places pay
81 for a Federal license to serve
margarine with a fine Of up to
81 900 in case OF violation.
Another Fulbright suggestion is
an amendment to the Pure Food
and Drug Law, proving penalties Of
up to year in jail and $1,000 fine
for serving margarine as butter,

Judge Nadine L. Gallagher, who
heard the case, said no medical
testimony was introduced at the
brief hearing and nothing to indi-
cate the extent of injuries to Mr..

was raining at the time and that
the defendant had no previous rec.
ord, she said. The only testimony
at the hearing was contained in the
policeman's report.

ing Lee after questioning numerous
