Due to a conflict between pres
ent government in Peru and the
peoples party, strong pressures
were exerted to prevent the con-
ference from becoming a reality.
The opposition inspired and helped
promote a demonstration by the
Communists on the main square
in the heart of Lima which took
place on the evening before the
opening of the conference, but the
whole thing ended in a complete
fiasco as not more than 300 fell
low travellers presented themselves
for the widely publicized meeting.
On the other hand at least 25,000
adherents of the peoples party
were on parade to demonstrate
that the real workers of Peru fav-
ored the Inter-American Labor
Conference. The situation was most
tense and the only thing that pre-
vented a clash, leading to blood
shed was innumerable brigades of
military police on horseback, who
of course were partial to the Com
munists.
On Saturday evening, January 10
a rally was held in the main thea
ter, with representative from each
country on the speaking program
who gave public utterance as to
the detectives of this new labor
unit. The theater was packed to the
limit to the number of 1000 people,
with at least 10000 on the outside,
eager to receive the message. Phil
Hannah, secretary of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor spoke
for the American delegates on this
occasion.
The American delegates had the
full support of the American Am
bassador and his staff in Peru.
Such favors gave added prestige

Gas Shortage Hits
Pottery Plants In
Sebring District

Sebring, Ohio-Sub zero temper
atures which have gripped this sec
tion over the week have prolonged
the 85 per cent cut which the Ma
tural Gas Company of West Vir-
ginia has placed on Industrial
plants of the area. This continued
curtailment has caused a partial
shutdown of almost all Sebring in
dustry dependent on gas.
Stanford Art Pottery has a
skeleton staff of eight employees
working, including the office force,
The French Saxon China Com
pany has a "few employees" in
the clay shops, but the plant is
too cold for normal production,
according to Edward Oliver, plant
official.
The decorating kiln is down at
Spaulding China Company which
puts a portion of thet plant down,
however, a complete shutdown is
not in effect at Spaulding, accord
ing to James Eardley, general
manager. The gloss kiln is in full
operation.
The Limoges China Company,
which has oil standby has four
kiln in operation. Harrison Kel-
ler, general manager, feels for
tunate in the fact that Limoges
has an oil contract, which should
keep the plant supplied.
Although the Royal China Com
pany is on oil, a portion of the
plant was too cold for workmen
Monday morning, according to
Fred Henderson, plant manager.
1t is assumed that the cold wave
will effect production at the
plant to a small degree.

Carry Out Present
Laws In Agreement
And End SquabbIes

Canonsburg, Pa.-The old say
ing, smooth sailing, does not apply
to the activities of Local 81 during
the past few weeks. Efforts to
bring about a settlement in certain
disputes are not an impossibility,
but can be attained if officials of
the firm and their empoyees would
cast aside personalities and get
down to business and carry out the
laws of our agreement. We feel
this is not asking too much of eth
er side and would restore peace
and harmony once again.
Officers were installed for the
new term and include John Mann
rack, president; Clifford Rawlings,
vice president; Calvin Bixby, re-
cording secretary and defense col
Ilector; Clarence Wright, financial
secretary; Anna Bender treasur-
er; j. McPeak, guard; Roy Patton,
inspector; J. c. Small, trustee.
John Whitlow was named statis-
tician at the w. S. George plant,
and William Donklin will carry out
the same duties at the Canonsburg
pottery.
With election time not too far
distant to begin making prepara-
tions to render justice to our
friends and defeat our enemies at
the polls, the writer would like to
call attention to the necessity of
every member being registered.
Labor can and will have much to
say this election. You owe it to
your self as well as the organiza-
tion, to support only those cam
didates who have a favorable rec
ord in the ranks of organized labor.

now in full swing and proving very
popular. Following our last meet
ing a birthday party was held for
Sister Pauline Kistler with games
and busic furnishing the entertain
ment for an evenings fun. Sister
Beulah Reich baked birthday cake
and the honored guest, in cutting
the cake, was surrounded by her
shopmates who rendered the we'll
known Happy Birthday theme.
The decal girls were all repre-

Officers Elected
By Local Union As
AT | st Meeting

Trenton, N. Like many other
locals, No. 45 has been busy select
ing officers and committees for the
new term. The new slate is as fol.
lows: President, John Cooper Jr.
vice president, Robert Esser; re.
cording secretary, Lance Ansell; fl
nancial secretary, Elijah Watson
treasurer, John Richards; inspector
Branson Morris; guard, Duncan
Stewart Sr.; trustees, Lincoln GLOW
er; conferees, John Cooper Jr.
Lance Ansell.
The polls were open from 8 to
5 p. m. when the majority Of thf
members registered their choice
and again in the evening from
p. m. until the close of the meet
ing. Tellers were James Dermody
Duncan Stewart Jr., James Solon
and Charles thinner. Tom Kren-
chicki acted as judge.
The personnel of the shop COM
mittee reported to date are d.
Stewart l.. Marks, X. Nesbit, H
Straight, T. Krecicki, j. Marculec
j. Gudepoki, S. Rafalowski, L. Gu
depoki and r. Smith.
One of the problems the new
committee will be called on to
handle is seniority, due to new en-
ployees being put on better pay
ing jobs instead of the 'old faith
fuls.' Other problems and details
are continually arising on the dou-
ble-shift, bench work and the mer-
ry-go-rounds which will have to be
ironed out as soon as possible.
Another kiln was started after
the holidays and the lavatory con-
veyors put on two shifts instead of
one. Some ware hustlers are on
two shifts and altogether it looks
like full steam ahead. All this helps
to supply the necessities of life
but it is very discouraging to find
living costs going up week after
week.
Most sanitary contracts will ex-
pire shortly and we sincerely hope
the various companies will raise
wages to take care Of the present
and also higher peaks to
come.
Some sadder losses than earning
power have come to our notice
lately: Bro. John Burns, recent
delegate lost a daugh-
ter; Bro. Charles Raider his wife
and Bro. Duncan Stewart his moth
er. Our sincere sympathy goes to
these benchmates.
Bro. Charles Jessen had the

les, but is now back on the job.

must retire.

ardentlv desired by all God-loving
people. But like the bluebird OF
happiness they are rarely attain

institutions of learning are the
most effective carriers of good

France and Germany lifted the

front when other Jewries fell
back: as Judaism came to life in
the Ottoman Empire and in Pal
estine after the debacle in East
ern Europe until Poland and Lith-
uania were once more flourishing
centers for Torah and mysticism;
as Germany came to leadership in
the nineteenth century by breath
ing new life into modern Judaism
through "Judische Wissenschaft"
so it is American Jewry which is
now sternly cast in the role of
