it. In fact he said we might al

tremendously during the past year.
Nathan drew a parallel between
conditions during the past three
years of 1946-49 and the period
1926-29 which led to the nations
great depression.
"Now while production and per-
sonal income profits are still high,
moderate action can bring good re-
Suits" Nathan said. "If business
activity drops further, cumulative
depression forces will be at work
and much more drastic action will
be needed"

He said expenditures for consumer
goods have held up reasonably well
but business expenditures for plant

Kills All Funds
For Power Lines

Washington (LPA) The pri-
vate power lobby scored a victory
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee last week which may
delay funds for the Interior Dept
in a knockdown battle between
the House and Senate.
Some time ago the House passed
an interior bill which included
funds for construction of reclama-
tion projects, power plants and
transmission lines = everything
needed to deliver electricity to con-
sumers at the lowest possible cost.
The Senate committee knocked
out of the bill money for trans
mission lines all over the west.
The power lobby has concentrated
its attack on public power lines,
after finding that it's profits Were
not endangered by letting the gov
ernment build dams and generators
as long as they had a monopoly on
getting the power to the consum
ers.

REV. KENNY, VISITOR
AT HEADQUARTERS

Rev. Joseph Kenny, pastor of the
Broadway Methodist Church in
Cleveland, Ohio, was a visitor at

will be remembered by his many
friends throughout the trade as a
former handler at Plant No. of
the Homer Laughlin China Co.,
then located in East End.
Rev. Kenny started to work in
the pottery when he was IL years

the trade and the hardships mem
bers in those days underwent to
build the foundation of the Nation
al Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters.
He left the trade in 1906 to
enter Baldwin Wallace College to
study for the ministry. Always
taking an active part in the affairs
of his union, Rev. Kenny served

er of Local Union No. 10.

Nathan Warns OF
Parallels To 1929

Washington (LPA) = Speaking
in stronger language than that
used by President Truman in his
report to Congress the same day,
former New Deal economist Rob-
ert r. Nathan warned that the
economic downturn has caused con-
sumers to stop buying because
their incomes are curtailed. The
most effective remedy would be
higher wages, to avert the danger
of a serious depression, he added.
Before a couple of hundred Cab
met officers, Senators, members of
Congress and newspapermen, Nat
han spelled out in simple charts
the economic facts of life today,
warned that the downturn is mot
a health readjusment" but a sign
of economic illness, and called for
measures to assure that a serious
does not develop.

Senator Violated
Code, Receives A
Slap On The Wrist

Madison, Wis. (LPA)-Wiscon-
sins Supreme Court found Sena-
tor Joseph r. Mccarthy (R, Wis.,
guilty of violating his Solemn
promise to support the constitu-
tion," yet turned down petition
of the state board of bar exam
iners to have Mccarthy disbarred
from practicing law.
In bitter 1916 campaign, Nc
Carthy nosed out Senator Robert
M. LaFollette Jr.~for the Republi-
can nomination to the US Senate.
He conducted the campaign while
serving as a state Judge.
In doing so, he violated his oath
of office, which required him to
resign from the bench while run
ming for Senator, the board of bar
examiners pointed out. Also, it
charged that McCarthy's action
was an infringement on the code
of ethics of the American Bar AS
The Supreme Court, in a long
opinion, agreed that what Nc
Carthy did was wrong, but not of
such a degree of moral turpitude
as to render him unfit to discharge
the duties of attorney at law"

Army Hasn't Heard
From Realty Lobby

Washington (LPA) - Apparent
ly Defense Secretary johnson
doesn't know that the private en-.
terprise" builders and the reaI
estate lobby have the housing
shortage licked. In spite of the
builders claims before Congress-
ional committee in their losing ef-
fort to defeat the Truman housing
bill, Johnson had this to say to the
House Armed Services Committee
last week:
Service men and their families
are forced to live in old beer trucks
and chicken coops at some military
posts.
"The army will suffer irrepar-
able damage unless something is
done about it shortly"
Johnson asked approval for a
$623 million military construction
bill, of which $149 million would
be used to build housing units for
7798 military families.

Union Head Asks
BarkIey's Aid In
Wage Level Bill

New York (LPA) = President
Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers
Union last week asked the assist
ance of Vice-President Barkley in
gaining support of Southern sena-
tors for the bill to increase the
minimum wage to rs cents an
hour.
Citing "the high regard in which
you are held" by the senators with
whom Barkley served for many
years, Rieve wrote:
"Most particularly / refer to
those Democrats from the south
who mistakenly regard rs cent
minimum as a threat to their
states. l am sure you realize, COM
ing from a border state which
shares many of the south's pro-
blems, that sub-standard wages
would blight the promising future
of the south, just as they helped
to delay it's economic development
in the past"
The Textile Workers already
have seen some examples of wage
cutting, particularly in the south,
Rieve explained A few morgan
lied mills in Georgia and South
Carolina announced reductions of
eight to 25 percent.
81 am sure that only a desire to
keep the union out deferred other
from following suit,
he said. "Indeed, some wage cuts
we're quickly restored when union
appeared at the mill
gates"

a member of Local 122, was chosen
by the delegates at the convention,
to act as chairman during the trial
Of the left-wing insurgents of the
n. B. o. P. By listening to the re-
port Of James and the other four
delegates, and hearing the praise
of the latter, | must say that he is
to be highly commended for his
conduct. We shall hear and see
more of James in the future.
Our last meeting was taken up
with regular business Of the local
and report Of the trial at the con-
vention. The balance of the reports
of delegates will be given at our
next meeting, July 27. By the shop
committee report, things are run
ming smoothly at the shops. Atten-
dance was small, due to the hot
weather. The heat has taken its
toll around the shops, with many
suffering from it.
The staggered vacation system
is being used again this year with
success. Many unemploy-
ed are coming in from other shops
to fill in.
President Campbell has announc-

Manhattan Buses
Struck By Union

New York (LPA)-A strike
which as protest over the dis
missal of four garage mechanics
who refused to work extra time
when other employees were being
|laid off, grew into a general walk
out of drivers and other employees
of the NY Omnibus Corp. here,
with official sanction of the Trans
port Workers Union.
Workers on the Fifth Ave. Coach
Co. busses, which together with
the NY Omnibus Corp. vehicles
normally carry 100000 persons
a day, were also idle, as President
Michael Quill of TWU said they
were digging in for long strike
Efforts are being made by

which expired June 30. More than

: chairman during the long ordeal.
Never was "A man placed in such a
precarious position and, in this
humble scribe's opinion, never did
man WELD gavel, with more
efficieny, respect, and tolerance
as did Brother Coffey.
Every local in the trade should
now, more than ever, join together
in good spirit seeking to mould the
bands Of brotherhood so tightly
that never again shall there be
repetition Of this past convention.
With conditions throughout the
trade as they are, such as slashed
production, kilns shut down and
members laid off, we are confront
ed with a tremendous task. And in
order to meet these issues square
ly, we must, be at peace among
ourselves.
You may rest assured, the locals
on the West Coast, and especially
2l4 will do all in our power to
maintain the goodwill, confidence
and respect Of every brother and
sister in the organization.
And now for long delayed re-
port on conditions here at our
plant. Over one hundred men have
been laid off since May and we are
operating only one kiln at 33 cars
per day. 1t is pleasure to report
how efficient the cut back and lay
offs were handled by our expires
ident James Rowbottom and the
standing committee. Pre- id ent
Rowbottom resigned to take posi-
ton back East where he was form
erly employed.
We of Local 214 and I'm sure
management also, will miss Bro.
Rowbottom very much. He was well
liked throughout the plant and
was directly responsible for many
changes which created better work
ing conditions and harmony among
US all. Pm sure all join this writer
in wishing James Rowbottom every
success.
Local PA now rests in the cap
able hands of his brother, Pres
ident Bernard Rowbottom, who,
like Jim, is doing a swell job.
