Eljer Co. Gives
Employees Check
For Thanksgiving

Ford City, Pat has been som'
time since the trade has heart
from Local Union 1C2, but we arr
carrying on as usual, trying oul
best to fulfill the obligations o.
the National Brotherhood Of Op
erative Potters.
We have had fair attendance a
our meetings but there are still &
certain number who cannot fine
time to attend meetings. These in
dividuals are the ones who usually
are delinquent in their dues. With
our contract, and the Eljer Co. liv-
ing up to it, they have to pay THEN
dues and assessments or they loaf
until they do. 1t is hard to under
stand men who have the opportun-
ity to settle their grievances over
the table, prefer to go on their
own. 1t has been shown in the past
that this system is no good for the
employee or the employer.
The shop has been running full
time except for a few weeks in
the Spring. The men are looking
forward to an increase in wages
and other conditions that are being
received in the labor movement.
The firm in the past has always
been willing to meet with US on
any matter and we do not antici-
pate any trouble in presenting our
latest request. We have had some
good settlements in the past, but
there are always a few who are
never satisfied and consequently
makes it bad for the majority. /
guess this is human nature.
We are looking forward to the
nomination and election of officers
for the next six months. We hope
the brothers who try to run the
local from the bench will come out
and vote for the officers of their
choice. The local is only as strong
as we make it.
The Eljer Co. gave all employees
a check to use for their Thanks
giving dinner. Though prices are
sky-high, the check was ample to
provide all with a nice bird and
the trimmings. We of Local 102
wish to take this means of express
ing our sincere thanks to the firm.
The company sponsored movie
at a local theater, showing the
growth and advancement in pot
ting since 1904. We enjoyed the
movie very much as it had much
local interest.
We hear a lot about Fact Find
ing Boards telling labor what in
creases they should have. Wouldn't
it be a good idea if there was a
Fact Finding Board to check the
cost of living to see if they could
come up with a fair living cost?
We received a propaganda letter
and some newspapers recently. 1t
seems as though some brothers are
never satisfied. We feel in due
time all will work out for those
who are right.
We would very much like to have
a visit from some of our national
but it seems they haven't
had time to get to us yet. We
know they have big job but may
be in the near future they will get
some help to carry on their work.
No one wants to work twenty-four
hours day. -O.C. 102

NEW YORK. Mar. 1s.-The
New York Herald Tribune says
Anna Louise Strong wants Prime
Minister Stain to order an in
vestigation of her deportation
from Russia on spy charges.
The So year = old American
writer, long sympathetic to the
Soviet regime, was arrested IN
Moscow February II, charged with
being an American spy, and Or
dered to leave Russia.
The Herald Tribune said her
request for review Of her case
was contained in a letter written
to Stain by her attorney. o. John
Rogge.
The letter. the newspaper said.
was sent to the State Department
for transmission to the Kremlin.
However, the Herald Tribune
said, q State Department spokes-
man said he doubted whether the
letter would be forwarded through
diplomatic channels.
Miss Strong, the newspaper
said, expressed confidence in
Stalin's sense of justice" and the
belief that a retraction of the spy
charges would be made If they
take the time to make an investi-
cation"
The. Herald Tribune quoted Mr..
Rogge's letter as saying his client
believes her arrest was due to the
errors of certain lower officials Of
your government" and that she
was given no chance to defend
herself against the. espionage
charge.
His letter, according to the
Herald Tribune, continued:
|, This charge made against an
;estimable woman has wrecked
useful and important work that
she was doing in furthering the
cause of peace.

tries, and has had a tendency to

BY the Associoted Press

Whether the miners 60 back to
the pits may depend on the Sen
ate action in confirming DR.. James
Boyd as Bureau Of Mines Director.
Mr.. Lewis called the strike in all
mines east Of the Mississippi part
1y in protest against DR.. Boyd's
appointment which was approved
earlier this week by a 10 to l
vote in the Senate Interior Com
mittee. The Senate must now vote
on confirmation.
Meanwhile. layoffs in coal-using
railroads mounted to 10000. The
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad today
announced it was furlouging 1900
employees at the Keyser. wv. Va 4,

400 Railroad Men Called Back.
The Pennsylvania Railroad re-
ported about 400 of the $4,000

shops are being called back for
repair work on 81 Diesel locomo-
tives.
Nation wide, commercial and in
dustrial stockpiles remained Suf-
ficient although a shortage OF am
thracite was reported in some
Eastern regions. A little more than
60,00O,000 out of the 100000
tons of bituminous coal above the
ground when the strike started,
still remains.
Mr.. Lewis today answered an
thracite operators who charged
the mine holiday was seriously
affecting health and financial Sc
curity of the area"
He said the charges are "an
obvious exaggeration of existing
conditions" and suggested the op-
orators release the reserves OF
no-bill coal in certain localities
which they are withholding from
local distribution"
, Makes Similar Charge,
No-bill coal is fuel held at the
mines without shipping orders.
Mr.. Lewis made a similar charge
of concealed coal stocks" in a
telegram to James L. Williams,
president of the Pennsylvania Re-
tail Coal Merchants Association.
Mr.. Williams said he wired back
that the anthracite institute re-
ports only $4,000 tons Of domestic
fuel remain above ground and is
being shipped to consumers as rap
idly as possible.
Mr.. Williams renewed a demand
that Mr.. Lewis order an end to
the anthracite stoppage.

Commenting on the mine stop

Lewis has lots of ability. There
is nothing in the rules that his

Never approach a horse with
mt SnookinU In him

Never approach a horse with
out speaking to him.
AS a rule, farmers do not con-
slider horses as especially dan
gerous animals, yet they account
for more accidents Of serious
nature than any other farm animal.
According to the National Safety
Council, approximately three times
as many accidents occur with
horses as with any other farm ami
NAL. Farmers should always be
cautious around these animals, the
NSC continued. One phase of this
precaution is thorough check in
the spring of all equipment to be
used on or by horses. particularly
harness.
Only strong harness should be
used and these should be inspected
regularly and kept in good repair.
Dry leather has low tensile strength
and it should be cleaned with mild
soap and warm water and treated
with oil. Attention to equipment
such as neck-yokes, tongues, single
trees, double-trees and eveners is
also very necessary.
The NSC suggests that many seri-
GUS farm accidents can be prevented
by following these simple rules:
Never approach horse without
speaking to him. When cleaning a
stall. making no sudden movement.
Enter the stall on the left side of
the horse. When driving or leading
horses, never wrap the lines around
body.

New Test to Keep
Enrmers on Toes

A new test for detecting weevil
infestation in grain has been de-
veloped by j. c. Frankenfeld,
USDA entomologist at Manhatten,
Kansas, who discovered that small
red dots appeared where weevils
had laid eggs in the kernels if
grain samples were soaked in a
dye containing acid fushsin; the
dots do not appear on grain which
is free from infestation.
Using this new method, all grain
brought for milling purposes can
be tested for weevil infestation on
the-spot, and docked in price ac-
cordingly - likewise, the wise
farmer will make sure his grain
is safe.
