PerIow. Quits cP
To Sign tn Oath

New York LPA)-Max Perlow
secretary-treasurer of the United
Furniture Workers last week re.
signed from the Communist party
in order to sign the Taft Hartley
non-Communist affidavit. A state
ment issued by UFW said that
compliance with this section OF
TIL is necessary to prevent raid
ing of its territory" by other
unions.
The section of TIL which re-
quires the non-Communist oaths
also provides that union officials
must swear that they do not be-
lieve in the overthrow of the gov
ernment by force. Perlow, who as
serted his continuing loyalty to
communism, denied that the CP
advocates violent overthrow of the
government.
The UFW secretary declared that
he will continue to work for COM
munism within the framework of
democratic processes under our
Constitution"
Possible prosecution of Perlow
for making false statements was
threatened by chief TaftH Hartley
ite NLRB General Counsel Robert
N. Denham.
Denham declared that Perlow
wanted to be in technical compli-
ance with the law, but at the same
time defy the law. | have no love
for guy who tries to do that" the
NLRB official added.
He said that it's up to the JUS
tice Dept to prosecute people for
making false statements in official
papers. Perlow's affidavit, when he
files it, will be turned over to the
Justice Dept, Denham said. He re-
marked that the boar has already
sent the attorney general the state
ments of other union officials who,
it thinks, may be pro-Communist.

Washington (LPA) = Opening
the Senate debate on the Taft
Hartley repeal bill which bears his
name, Sen. Ebert Thomas Cd,
Utah) declared that the Taft-Hart-
ley law has:
First. Increased government in
reference with and restricted free
collective bargaining.
Second. Hampered workers in
the exercise of basic rights.
"Third. Provided unsound pro-
cedures and administrative struc-
lures.
Fourth. Dealt with matters of
policy outside the proper scope of
labor Encouragement legislation.
Fifth. Disseminated unfairly
against labor organizations"
The nearly two years that Taft
Hartley has been law have been
prosperous years. Employers have
had little incentive to take full ad
vantage of the union breaking op-
portunities the anti-labor law gives
them, the Senate Labor Committee
chairman pointed out.

is still on the map and has some
items of interest to report, Meet
ings of late have been we'll attend
ed with seating facilities being at
a premium for late comers on sew
eral occasions. Considerable inter-
est is shown, as the members are
taking their grievances to the pro-
per union officials for settlement
instead of gripping to each other
about them. If all the boys would
do this, better feelings all around
would result.
Our local is sponsoring a softball
team this year. So far the boys
have had pretty tough shedding,
but the fellows who know sports
are confident the only trouble is
the boys haven't played together
long enough to get going yet. The
last few games however have
shown some improvement, and we
believe by the middle of the season
the other teams will sit up and
take notice when our boys take the
field.
Bros. Mitchell, Bohannon and
McCann were in Pittsburgh for the
annual wage conference and came
back with not too bad a report con-
sidering strikes, layoffs, etc. else
where. We are confident though
when they return for the final set
tlement in July they can register
some real gains for us.
We are all working five days a
week here in Kohomo, and SO far
as we have been able to learn, we
will continue on this schedule for
some time. -O.C. 26

Union Men Know
What They're
Talking About

New York (LPA)-F e d "a
Mediation Director Cyrus Ching
made the American Management
Assn sit up and take notice last
week.
Speaking at AMA's annual con-
vention Ching said that when union
representatives come to the bar
gaining table they're "always bet
ter prepared with facts and fig
ures" than the employers spokes-
men are.
The company negotiators fire.
quently "don't know what the
score is," Ching declared.
Besides praising union leaders
and the economists and lawyers
who help prepare labor's bargain
ing, Ching also told the manage
ment outfit that it's members often
take too emotional an attitude
around the bargaining table.
He advised them to spend more
time nationally preparing their
arguments, and less on just damn
ing union demands.

Rails Boost
Prices For
Seventh Round

Washington (LPA) - Eastern
railroads have started on their
Seventh round" of price-boosting.
Since the end of the war they have
received government "okay" six
times for raises in freight and pas
senger rates.
Now they have petitioned the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
permission to tack another 1212
per cent on passenger fares. In
creased costs, they said, require
the higher fares.
At least one railroad in the east
ern territory-the Chicago & East
en Illinois-refused to go along
with the request. 1t announced pre-
sent passenger fares would be re-
tanned.

Retiring After
Half Century Of
Service To Labor

Sixth Vice President Georg,
(Cotton) Turner, veteran membe
of the National Brotherhood of Op
erative Potters and a man WHOSE
name will long be remembered
whenever the casting process o.
'potting' is mentioned, is retiring
after 80 years devoted to organized
labor, to read lot of books, do g
little fishing, and let the younger
members of the Brotherhood carry
on.
Upon the advice of his physician
(Cotton) as he is familiarly known
did not seek reelection to his Ex-
ecutive Board post, needing advice
that further active participation in
such a role would be injurious to
his health. While not in good health
for the last several months, he has
continued to carry on as was his
custom.
As a friend and a true trade
unionist, there are few men who
have a greater conception of what
those words mean.
His first work in the pottery in
dustry began back in January of
1897 when he was lad Ia years of
age. He was employed as a handle
maker and fnisher at the old Dia-
mond Pottery, located at the foot
of Union street.
Seeking lore as was the custom
of potters in those days, he moved
to Akron China Co. at Akron, Ohio,
and in 1899 began his apprentice
ship at the pressing trade. His last
year as cub found him working
at the French China Co. in Sebring.
He took an active part in the af-
fairs of his union and served on
the shop committee and collected
defense assessments.
In 1910 he moved over to the
sanitary branch of the industry and
worked in Warrington, Clarksburg
and Wheeling while acquiring a
long list of friends, who, recogniz-
ing his unusual abilities frequently
sought his advice on trade pro-
blems.
Returning to generalware in
1913, the following year marked
one of the highlights of his career
when the casting process was in
troduced to the trade while he was
working at the bench at Plant No.
of the Homer Laughlin China Co.
In conjunction with the late bro
theirs President Edward Menge
and Edward Miller, he played al
major role in adopting the present
set-up scale for casting in the
switch over from pressing. 1t was

"auto makers present one of the
few cases of optimism in an other
wise gloomy business world. The
reason for this optimism is (a)
that the motor car manufacturers
expect the present recession to be
of short duration and (b) feel con-
fdent that war-created shortages
are still sufficient to guarantee a
satisfactory level of consumer de-
mand for some time to come" In
its entire 100 words it mentions
UAW once. That's down near the
bottom where is says Ford lost 90,-
600 cars in the recent strike.
This sort of thing must be con-
fusing for tired business men who
read the Journal. Or maybe they
just do it by reading one-story-
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-06-16

With the exception of Arthur
Devlin and Frank Dales, fifth and
sixth vice presidents respectively,
the other members of the official
family are holdovers for the new
term.
Never in the history Of the or
ganization has so much interest
been shown in a national election.
From shop talk to conversations
on the street corner, one only had
to meet a fellow member and the
conversation usually dealt with the
election. While this interest is not
uncommon among the rank and file
members of the organization, those
who over span of years have
given their all, to perfect a smooth
running organization built upon the
policies of a true democratic policy,
the added enthusiasm shown in
this years election can be attri-
buted to those within our ranks
who stopped to the lowest ethics
in trade union circles to overthrow
the democratic procedure of our
organization.
1t can be said in all sincerity that
upon the results of this election,
hinged the very foundation of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters and whether the members
affiliated could, as they have down
through the years, look to the
organization to protect and pro-
mote their interests for fair and
just compensation for their daily
toll.
One must not overlook the fact
that aside from the harmful effects
suffered by the Brotherhood in this
election, the personal injury level
led at contestants from President
Duffy down, can never be erased.
Their only solace to counter the
wound of injury is the manifesto
ton of the trade vote which return
ed them to office with a sixty-five
per cent majority of the total vote
cast.
When the oath of obligation is
given to the officers at this years
convention, two new members will
be serving their first term as Board
members. Arthur Devlin of Local
Union 1S4, Trenton, New Jersey,
and Frank Dales, of Local Union A,
East Liverpool.
Bro. Devlin was the successful
candidate for fifth vice president,
out over his opponent Fred
Perdunn from Local Union 35, Bro.
Devlin fills the vacancy caused by
the death of the late George New
bon.
In the race for sixth vice pres
ident, Frank Dales defeated James
Coffey, kilnman, from Local Union
122, Cambridge, Ohio. Former sixth
vice president George Turner did
not seek reelection.
