Turner, coffey And
kilIinger Attend
Meeting Of No. 14|

Cambridge, Ohio - Sixth Vic e
President George Turner and
James Coffey and Dan Killinger,
president and committee chairman
respectively Of Local Union 122
were visitors at the last meeting of
Local Union 144. We felt it an
honor to have them with US and
know much benefit will be derived
from their wise counsel.
All three were called upon for
remarks and very ably responded,
confining their remarks to affilia-
tion with Local Union 122 since we
are switching over from stoneware
to dinnerware.
1t was with sincere regret to
hear Bro. Turner is resigning from
his post on the Executive Board a.
the end of his present term, due to
illness. "Cotton" as he is familiar
ly known to all throughout the
trade, has not enjoyed the best of
health lately, but despite this
handicap has carried on to advance
and protect the interests of the
Brotherhood during these trying
times. 1t is this spirit which found
ed the National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters and enough
praise cannot be given a man of
his calibre for the active role he
has taken down through his years
1T the bench and while a member
Of the Executive Board. Our best
wishes go with "Cotton" in his
retirement and many thanks for
the many favors rendered US.
Bros. Coffey and Killinger in
their remarks stressed the need for
from the entire MEM
oership in working out various diff
iculties that rise from time to
lime, and the benefits to be gained
through peaceful relationship with
heir employer.
Our thanks to the brothers for
heir visit and we hope that in the
not too far distant future we can
ook forward to seeing Bros. Duffy,
Jordan and Chadwick pay US a |

Duffy Pays Visit
To Local No. 122
Atcambridge, Ohio

Cambridge, Ohio - President
James Duffy paid a visit to Cam
bridge last week, upon request Of
our local officials. His purpose was
to try to straighten out the dissen-
sion among the members concern
ing the new percentage system Of
figuring earnings. Failure by jig
germen and crews at plant No. l
to get any promise Of explanation
to their satisfaction from either
the firm or headquarters precipi-
tated work stoppage in the clay
shop. Such actions by our MEM
bers can generally accomplish little
in the way of solutions Of our pro-
blems.
At our~ meeting Mr.. Duffy was
given the floor to outline events
leading up to this mess. His ex-
plantations and suggestions of ad-
justments to come did not satisfy
many present and they proceeded
10 try TO put him on the flre as re-
sponsible but he answered every
verbal blow aimed at him. He also
reported that several problems
about the shop had been ironed out
satisfactorily to those concerned.
Later, after the departure of Mr..
Duffy, vote was taken for a re
quest for a referendum on changes
in cur constitution. This passed.
The meeting consumed almost four
hours of the sleeping time of the
members present but did little else
Production has again fallen off
and we do not know what the
future will bring.
Donald Chester, jiggerman, has
started to work in plant No. 3.

Members Of Local
80 Mourn Death
OF Hugh McNicoI

Clarksburg. w. Va.-It is with
deep regret the members Of Local
Union 90 learned Of the death Of
Mr.. Hugh McNicol. "Hughie" as
he was known to all employees on
the shop was highly respected and
loved by all employees Of the d. E.
McNicol Pottery Co. We take this
opportunity TO express our deepest
sympathies to the family.
Bro. Ralph Crispino is confined
in st. Mary's Hospital and would
appreciate a card from his buddies.
Ralph who is now foreman in the
glost warehouse served the local
well as recording secretary for sew
eral terms.
Several communications were
read in regards to the Puerto Rico
pottery and every member was
urged to write his congressman
and senators, asking their support
in protecting our job opportunities
against the imports of products
from foreign shores. A letter was
ordered sent to local merchants
protesting the display of items
that are in competition with pro-
ducts of American workers.
While we feel labor did a very
good job in the last election, we
feel we did not stress enough the
of electing favorable
men to the state senate. While
getting some relief in Workmen's
Law and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, there is nothing
more to brag about. The writer
feels it is important that all locals
in West Virginia should affiliate
with the West Virginia State Fed
Grafton of Labor so they may lend
their support in getting legislation
passed that benefits labor.
The convention will be held in
the latter part of June, so act at
once to get your resolutions in
early.
Bro. Paul Mazzie who has been
III for the past several weeks, was
reported on the mend. -O.C. 80

Social Held By
LocuI Union So

In the absence of President
Erma Fox at the last meeting of

man in a very efficient manner.
Following the business session,
social was held and various
games were played with Martha
Jackson and Anna Quinn being
awarded prizes.
Lunch was served by a commit
tee consisting of Violet Barnhart,
Mae Campbell, and Edna Clutter.
Cakes were donated by Violet

Witness Says CP
Planned Strike

Washington LPA) - The Sup
RENE Court has agreed to review
a Federal jury conviction of Harold
Christoffel, former United Auto
Workers local official, who was
sentenced to two to six years on a
charge of falsely testifying to the
House Labor Committee that he
had never been a Communist.
Christoffel appeared before the
committee in March, 1947 when it
was investigating a 1941 strike
against the Milwaukee plant of the
Allis-C Chalmers Manufacturing Co.
At that time he was president of
the Allis- Chalmers local of UAW.
His attorney, o. John Royce, is
basing the Supreme Court appeal
of the case on the grounds that a
majority of the committee was not
present at the time Christoffel
testified.
Meanwhile, in New York, a gov
ernment witness in the Communist
conspiracy trial declared that the
1941 Allis-Chalmers strike was
planned by the Communist Party
at a secret meeting in Milwaukee
in 1910 in order to interfere with
war production.
The witness, former Communist
official Louis F. Budenz, testified
that the strike was called at the
time of the Hitler Stain pact, was
urged by party leader Eugene
Dennis, and was carried out by

: Ol WOTk We get from now on ue-
pends on the quality of our work
manship. Let's do all we can to
avoid refres and other bad ware.
We do not think the handicaps
We are working under at present
our understood, but it is up to US
to welcome them as far as humanity
possible and to spend all available
time doing it instead of leaving
ourselves open to criticism.
Local 45 will celebrate its 50th
anniversary next year and plans
are already being discu ssed
throughout the shop as to just
what form of celebration to hold to
mark the occasion. If you have
any ideas, let the local know.
One of the four remaining chart
er members passed away recently,
Bro. Aaron Potts, 81 years of age.
He has been retired for many
years, but in his day was a very
active member and held the fin
ancial secretary job for twenty
FIVE years. Our very sincere SYM
pathy is extended to his family
W h ich includes his grandson,
Charles Rose, caster at the Mutual
Pottery.
Through the grapevine We hear
Bro. Harry Brammer was passing
out cigars last week on the occas-
ion of his retirement after many
years service as foreman and at
the bench.
Bro. Bob Allen has also retired
as has Leonard Wiggley an old
time caster, though of late years
employed in the spraying depart
ment. We wish all who are so fort
innate many happy years.
We hear the Crane Company is
going to issue periodical and the
Trenton Potteries Company is go
ing to have part in it, including
some of our members. We will be
looking forward to it with great
interest.
Very little interest seemingly
was taken in the Mould Makers
petition to form their own local
union. AS far as Local Union 45
as a whole is concerned, we were
there was as much OPP
position as there was. Perhaps the
members in that department who
could not attend the meeting, due
to working on the A to II shift
might account for it.
President Pearson was absent
for the first time since taking the
chair and Vice President Shuman
was also unavoidably away so that
the honor fell on Bro. George Smith
who saw to it that everything went
off in best parliamentary style.
The recent appeal of President
Duffy in regards to tariff was very
timely and to the point. The AM
aricans in authority in Europe and
Japan seem to be more interested
IN getting those countries back on
their feet than seeing to it that
Jobs are available at decent wages
for the American potter. Surely
our politicians, no matter which
party, will not stand idly by and
watch foreign goods being shipped
nto our country at such low tar
If rate to jeopardize the American
standard of living. --O.C. 40

you are interested in news from
Local 178, the proper place to re-
ceive such information first hanC
is your local union meeting. Don't
be content to receive such informa-
tion from your benchmate or that
little clique in the corner pub
where discussions of trade matters
mixed with a little amber fluid
usually tend to distort the true
picture.
a At the present writing we have
"a membership of $50 and are still
growing. Our meetings are held on
the second and fourth Wednesday
in K. of P. hall. Our meetings are
not what they should be as to at
tendance, but proceedings at our
semi-monthly sessions are progress
sive and beneficial to all. Our of
ficers do not permit the meetings
to be long drawn-out affairs, nor
do they curtail the freedom of free
speech when progressive legisla-
tion is discussed for the betterment
of all.
Perhaps if the members would
attend their union meetings more
often, they would have a more
thorough knowledge of what is go
ing on in the trade and be better
qualified to vote intelligently in
national elections, trade referen-
dums, resolutions and what have
you, which seems to be the order
of the day. The writer has always
been of the opinion, "Let him who
is without sin, cast the first stone"
If some reports of a few insurg
ents are true, there certainly has
been lot of SHINING lately.
If all the accusations that are
flying around lately are true, then
hell wouldn't hold the potters.
Maybe we could thin it down
little and just call then comics
like the commentators on the radio
kdo. "Love thy neighbor as thy
eself", certainly doesn't apply to
the potters. According to reports
we have broken every command
ment in the book. In conclusion,
let US hope and pray the best men
and those most capable will win
out in our national election and
when and if we have a referendum,
everyone will want to study up on
just what we are doing.
The Spaulding China is back on
a 5-day schedule and the Stanford
Art Ware is going strong. Grind
ley's are not on full,time schedule
at the present writing but hope to
be soon.
Art Ware members in the trade
were surprised at the recent ruling
of the Executive Board concerning
the mouldmakers. The writer be-
lieves if the members of art ware
and general ware would sit down
together and reason out their diff
ficulties, and not let prejudice hold
sway over them, We could settle
our differences and end this cold
war among the casters.
Possibly this next convention
will help to iron out some of our
problems. We are looking forward
to seeing delegates from every art
ware local at the convention this
year. See you at Atlantic City.

World Coffee Supply

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. IT.
Gone with the south wind-2,000.-

That's the picture just painted
by Sac Paulo growers, demanding
that the government increase its

That is, until the time of the next

Coffee is the principal dollar

Unfortunate Fact

Commenting upon the great volume
Of publicity given to Rita Hayworth,
the movie actress, and the Indian
prince she married, Ally Khan, the
Raleigh News and Observer said in
recent editorial that these persons
seem more boring than anything
e-lge Well ELI the TIE Ne News and and Observer
gave them as much publicity as other
papers did. II they're boring, why
print SO much stuff about them?
But this is a dangerous topic for any
editor. When he introduces it he is
inviting readers to examine his own
columns and point out pieces that are,
to put it mildly, not exciting. The
unfortunate fact is that a consider
able proportion Of what appears in
every newspaper is boring. However,
il is some consolation to reflect that
if you're a sinner yourself you're no
worse a sinner than others. The
newspapers do not infiict any mere
cruel punishment on the public than

form, and at their worst they have
never come anywhere near being as
tiresome as the radio is
