Compulsory Attendance At Meeting Is
Ruled Out On Technically In Local AZ

Trenton, N. Local Union as
has been having some very inter
esting meetings lately and we hope
they will keep on in this manner
The attendance also has been most
gratifying. -
Some discussions at the meetings
may seem rather drawn out and
only of interest to those concerned
but we urge all to have patience as
your time will come when the same
situation may confront others. Most
. of the problems are not easy to
solve, nor can we compel others to
see things the way we do or as
often as we would like to.
A great deal of interest is be-
ing shown in the special convention
and at our last meeting, one of the
largest turnouts in years was on
hand for the election of delegates
to represent us at the parley. After
the tellers had tabulated the re-
cord vote, Brothers Joseph Abrams,
Lance Ansell, John Cooper, Jr. and
Duncan Stewart were picked for
this important assignment. Bro.
George Smith failing close behind
was named alternate.

AFL Cheers TIL
Repeal Pledge

Cincinnati (LPA)-Secretary OF
Labor Maurice Tobin stirred dele
gates at the AFL convention to
thunderous applause as he address
ed the opening sessions last week
and pledged all-out support for re-
peal of the Taft Hartley act.
"The election was a mandate fol-
positive and unequivocal repeal OF
the Hartley law" Tobin de-
clared. Il hope that will be correct
ed within the first 50 days of the
81st Congress.
GAS Secretary of Labor, l pledge
to you my best efforts to see that
all pledges of the Democratic party
and of President Truman will be
lived up to by the 81st Congress" "
he added.
"The American people voted on
Tuesday, Nov. 2, for the preserva-
tion of free collective bargaining.
"They voted for repeal of the
Taft-Hartley law, for selective
price controls to curb the soaring
cost of living, for surplus profits

hilIman Fund To
Sponsor Tour By
aroId j. Laski

New York (LPA) - The first
grants from the Sidney Hillman
Foundation were awarded this
week to four universities for schol-
arships, to DR.. Frank P. Graham
for his "selfless public service"
and to British author Harold j.
Laski for lecture tour of the US
next spring.
A total of $4,000 was allocated
from the million-dollar foundation,
which was set up in memory of the
late Sidney Hillman, leader of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and one of the founders of the
CLOS Political Action Committee.
After Hillman's death in 1916, the
Foundation was organized and
funds raised from unions, employ
ers in the garment industry, and
Hillman's many associates in public
life.
For 1948-49, President Jacob
Potofsky of ACW announced that
$4,000 had been granted to Roose-
velt College in Chicago, and $4,000
each to New School for Social Re-
search in New York City, the
School of Industrial & Labor Re-
lations at Cornell University in
Ithaca, N. Y, and to Howard Uni
versity in Washington, d. c.
DR.. Frank Graham, president of
the University of North Carolina
and chairman of the World War III
Labor Board, was awarded $1,000.
For the Laski tour, up to $4,000
will be granted, to cover series
of lectures on "the role of trade
unions in the US" and to pay for
publication of the talks. An addi-
tional $4,000 for research projects,
awards still open, was allocated.

Discusses Aid
For Handicapped

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
Proposed legislation to aid handi-
capped persons was discussed at a
public forum here sponsored by the
American Federation of the Physi-
cally Handicapped.
"This is our battle, and we are
in it to the end," declared Paul A.
Strachan, national president of the
group, in a summary of bills to
be re-introduced in the 81st con-
gress, after they failed to pass in
the 80th.
The bills would provide for a
census of the handicapped, Ma
tional Leprosy Act, national cere-
bral palsy institute and an ALIEN
bracing Federal Commission on
Services for the Physically Handi-
capped. They were indorsed unan-
imously by speakers representing
the American Veterans of World
War II, the AFL, the Order of
Railway Conductors and the Ma
tional Rehabilitation Association.
w. d. Johnson, legislative repre-
sentative of the Order of Railway
Conductors, promised the physical
ly handicapped the active working
support of his union and the full
resources of his organization.

sorry attendance was rescinded on q
technicality. 1t would have beer
very interesting to see how it would
have worked out. Many are of the
opinion it is not too much to expect
members to attend meetings once
"a month and should be done with
out any compulsion.
How do we expect to ever get
anywhere if we know nothing of
the working of our organization ?
What you hear elsewhere is usually
only half the story. At local meet
ings you will hear both sides and
get first hand information on any
issue at hand.
If the attendance drops away to
what it was before the experiment,
don't expect results brothers. You
only get out of anything what you
put into it and bear this fact in
mind, results are not achieved
without effort.
Local meetings are not often
pleasing affairs like a movie, card
game or what have you. Grievances
are always arising and being iron
ed out. Surely it is worthwhile to
spend some time taking care of
your job.-O.C. as

Largest Attendance in Months At Last
Meeting Of Cambridge Local Union 122

Cambridge, Ohio-There was a
big surprise for the officers at our
last local meeting when they were
greeted by the largest turnout in
months. Sensing something import
ant, they come in punches. The
notice in the Herald that special
convention was called for Novem-
ber 29 was probably the reason.
Business was taken care of in
short order with four new members
admitted. The notice of election of
delegates was read and the men,
bers went into a discussion of the
coming convention. Two delegates
were chosen on two ballots. They
were Dan Killenger and Harry
Hunt.

WarehouseWomen
Elect Delegates
AT Last Meeting

Local Union ga had a very fine
turnout at their meeting on Nov
ember 19 when delegates were
elected for the special convention in
Atlantic City. Grace Hall, Mary
McGown, Dora Koening and Mild
red Johnson were declared winners
in a spirited contest. Our best wish
es goes with these sisters in their
assignment.
1t has been some time since the
local broke into the social column
and plans were formulated for a
party to be held on January 13.
The success of this party depends
on whether or not we will have
more social affairs, so if you en-
joy a good time among friends,
make it point to be present on
January 13.
Action was taken to suspend
all members who are four months
in arrears. If you happen to be
in this category, better take care
of your arrearage at once or face
suspension. A motion was also
adopted to notify all members who
are now three months behind in
their dues, giving them ample
warning before the axe falls.

Wallace Party To
Stay In Business

Chicago (LPA) = A three-day
conference of the Progressive
Party last week unanimously
agreed to keep the just over a
million vote getting machine in
business.
It's immediate job is to make
President Truman and the Demo
cratic party keep the progressive
election promises which carried the
Democrats to victory, the 800 dele
gates declared.
Presidential candidate, Henry
Wallace assured his followers that
he has "just begun to fight" He'll
run again in 1862, he said, "if it
seems the best thing to do"
On the eve of the Progressive
gathering the Communist party as
sured the Wallace group on its
continued support. Last week the
New Jersey CP expelled Max
Bedacht, veteran Communist wheel
horse for his "Marxist" objections
to working with the Wallace
forces.

ment. BY looking over the list of
candidates elected, it should prove
to anyone that labor in America
will not bow to any threat of in
voluntary servitude e from any
source. They have been selected to
represent us and it is up to them
to carry out our wishes and aims.
The cost of living remains high
with a few spot reduction of prices
here and there. These reductions,
feel, are only manipulations by
business to save face or attract
buyers. If one can believe the edi-
torials concerning the working of
the law of supply and demand by
big producers and suppliers, the
new administration should have
fair game in imposing taxes and
curbs on big business. Who killed
price control? Big business lobbies,
of course.-O.C. 122
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-11-25

failed to deal with the situation
noting that it did extend the rent
control law with a few modifica-
tions "some of which weakened
while others strengthened its en-
forcement."
However" the council added,
"the passage of the tax reduction
bill and several other measures
were clearly inflationary. No action
was taken on any measures con-
cerning credit control, rationing,
selective price control, ALLEGATIONS,
or speculations in agricultural COM
modities.
Pledging no let-down in the fight
against oleomargarine taxes, the
council said:
"Since the first appearance of
the tax on oleomargarine, the AFL
has opposed it because it takes the
place of butter in many households
where the income is low. H. r.
'2245,, repeating this tax was forced
out of the House April 28, 1948.
Fight for Repeal to Go On
/ Hearings were held in the Sem
ate, where we again testified, and
the bill was reported favorably to
the Senate June /, 1948. However,
in the closing days of the session,
the dairy interests with their pow
erful lobbying, aided by the jam of
legislation in the closing days pre-
vented its passage by the Senate.
Cup until the last hours of the
Congress we were very optimistic
in regard to the repeal of this tax
and, in failing to do so, We were
greatly disappointed. We shall con-
tinue our opposition to this obnox-
ious tax"

Real Estate Lobby
Is Not Giving Up

New York (LPA)-It was sob
cred and not too cheerful group of
real estate operators who gather
ed last week for the annual con-
vention of the Natl Association of
Real Estate Boards. They'd seen
their hopes of lifting of rent con-
trolls and the death of all public
housing measures erased by the
election.
However, they valiantly pulled
themselves together, passed resolu-
tions against rent control and pub
lie housing, and gave retiring Sen.
Albert Hawkes. (R., n. j. a plaque
for distinguished service to the
real estate industry of America" :"
Hawkes., needless to say, gave the
better years of his life to the SER
vice of the real estate lobby in the
halls of Congress.
Hawkes. responded with a dreary
warning that $50 long as a major
ity of our people seek to give less
for a dollar, they will get less for
a dollar, and if they are going to
be led astray by the philosophy
that they can get something for
nothing or that the world owes a
living to the indolent, the shiftless
and the sluggards-there is no
hope for the redemption of Am
erica"
The delegates were presented
with two forecasts of the number
of homes to be built next year. F.
w. Dodge Corp. predicts a 7%o
drop over this years total of about
$4,000 units. Dexter Keezer, econ
omist for McGraw Hill publica-
tions, said the current rate of
home building would continue thru
1949 and perhaps 1850. Then,
Keezer warned, either building
prices would be lower, or there will
be Substantial bust" in the con-
industry.

Send Full Quota
To Atlantic City

LOCAL Union 124 received official
notification at their last meeting
that the special convention called
for Nov. 20 in Atlantic City has
been postponed. While no details
were given as to why the conven-
tion was postponed, further details
will be forthcoming. The Local
elected ther full quota Of Is dele
gates at previous meeting.
A report was made that ware
cleaners at plant 4 Of the Homer
Laughlin China Co. were being
sent to dust in the decorating shop.
The girls were told they did not
have to do this work if they did
not want to, excepting if work was
slow in their department. They
were also advised that a commit
tee should take this up with the
firm. President Armstrong outlin-
ed the difficulty of settling pro-
blems for war cleaners inasmuch
as they work in warehouse.
1t was reported the print cutters
problem at plant No. has been
settled and an agreement reached
to give them help when needed.
A report of decal girl being
put on stamping while other
stampers were loafing was held to
be in violation of the agreement.
This matter is to be taken up with
the firm.
The stampers from Plant No. s
reported a squabble over the price
for stamping nappies. They were
advised the firm should continue
paying the established price until
the matter has been settled by the
Standing Committee.
Attention was called to the for
eign-made ware now being sold in
this country. Much of this ware
comes from the U. S. occupied
zones of former enemy countries.
It is with our deepest heartfelt
sympathy that we extend our con-
dolence to Brother Harold Williams
in the death of his brother Harry.
A member of this local for a good
many years, his death will be a
shock to his many friends.-O.C.

Examiner Rules
Against Company
In Boycott Ban

Washington LPA)-An NLRB
trial examiner last week ruled
against an attempt Of two oil COM
panies to use the Taft Hartley
laws secondary boycott ban to de-
feat a strike by Toledo Local 346
of the Oil Workers Int'l Union.
Standard Oil for years had a
contract with Pure Oil whereby the
latter shipped products of its
Toledo refinery thru Standards
dock on the Maumee River. The
dock work for both companies was
done by Standard employees.
When Standards workers struck
for new contract last July a new
deal was negotiated between the
two companies, whereby Pure Oil
employees were to work Standards
wharf. Both groups of workers are
members of Local 346 and Of course
the Pure Oil employees refused to
accept this arrangement.
The companies and NLRB Cen
eral Counsel Robert Derlham tried
to label this a secondary boycott.
But trial examiner ]. ]. Fitzpat-
rick overruled Denham, pointing
out that Pure Oil had made itself
a party to the dispute, and there
p
fuse to scab on the Standard strik-
ers.
Fitzpatrick also threw out a
Denham contention that the OWIU
had no business responding to a
Natl Maritime Union query as to
the status of the strike. The sea-
men like the Pure Oil workers
didn't want to handle struck goods.

The executive council, meeting
before the convention, backed uI
its report on the Taft Hartley Aci
by announcing its intention tC
the new Congress. Following re-
peal, the plan is to Immediately
substitute the Wagner law for the
Taft Hartley Act and then take uI
possible amendments to the old law
Spirit of '76 Urged
"Full speed ahead" was the
councils slogan in the-drive to'wipe
the Taft-Hatley law off the sta
tute books.
Urging "a revival of the revolu.
tionary spirit" of 1776, the council
told the conventions:
"In the international field we are
witnessing the cold terror of gig
antic conspiracy to foist upon un-
willing victims world dictatorship
and a Communist regime-this to
be accomplished by treachery and
aggression and by killing opportun-
tiles for freedom. ,d.s
"We who love freedom should
lead in defeating this conspiracy.
We urge the delegates to this 9th
convention to pledge themselves to
serve in the coming crusade for
freedom and to pledge. their service
in initiating a chain which will
unite us all in the maintenance and
defense of human life and freedom.
Let us arm ourselves for the world
crisis with a determination that
will make US invincible."
Peoples Demand Baked
Discussing housing, the council
denounced the housing measure
passed by the goth Congress, say
ing Congress "took only half way
to meet the critical and
increasing housing shortage" 1t
told what happened to the labor
Taft-E | / e n d e r-Wagner
bill, declaring the story was zone
of interminable delay, procrastina-
tion and subterfuge employed by
the opponents of the bill to deny
the overwhelming demand of the
people for its passage"
"The AFL," the council declared
"insists on the goal of a decent
home for every American family
The federation should con-
tinue to lead in all efforts to pro-
vide better housing and better liv-
ing for the American people. :.
The federation must spare no effort
to secure the enactment of a COM
prehensive, long range housing pro-
gram when the next Congress con-
venes in January"
Initiation Held No. 1 Probe m
The report declared that the con-
tinued rise in prices "has present
ed Congress and the country with
its No. domestic problem, infla-
ton" 1t pointed out that Congress
