Home Construction Again
Approaches New Record

Washington, d. C.-Home build
ers throughout the nation started
$4,000 new permanent nonfarm
dwelling units in May, Secretary of
Labor Maurice J. Tobin announced
here. This is 5000 more than were
put under construction in April and
is within 5 percent of the record
100000 units put under construc-
ton in May 1948. .&
Preliminary estimates show that
builders have started 343,400 new
dwelling units in the first months
of 1949. The peak in housing starts
will probably occur later this year
than last.

Technically Proves Boomerang
AT The Opening Session Of 55th
Convention In Atlantic Citv

The 1949 convention Of the National Brotherhood of
Operative Poters opened Monday morning June 27 in the
Atlantic City Auditorium in what may turn out to be the
most important convention in Brotherhood history This fact
brought the attention Of the delegates seated when the
nsurgent element within the ranks their first defeat in
democratic procedure of true trade union principles
Immediately following the reading of the list of delegates
present by the Chairman of the Credenta Committee Dele
gate Armstrong of Local Union 124 East Liverpool Ohio
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-06-30

asked that Section 9 of the Consti-
tuition to read.
Section 9. - Representatives
to the Convention of the Ma
tiOnal Brotherhood of Opera
tive Potters shall be elected
annually at any one stated
meeting in May, providing the
Convention meets the follow
ing July, but should any other
month be chosen by the Execu-
tive Board, then the election
shall be held between the first
and fifteenth of the second
month prior to the Convention.
Supporting his request for the
above action, Delegate Armstrong
referred to delegates being seated
from Local Union 20, Steubenville,
Ohio and Local Union 103, Erwin,
Tennessee, basing his claim that
these delegates not being elected in
May were not entitled to be seated.
During the discussions on the
topic before the delegates for final
consideration, whether or not these
delegates be seated, the fact was
brought to light and in conformity
with Section 9 Of the Constitution,
namely, providing the convention
meets the following July" Techni-
cally speaking Delegate Arm
strong's request if approved by the
delegates, would unseat himself as
we'll as the other members of his
own particular local, and the entire
body of delegates present, sent
here by their respective locals to
outline a procedure for the Broth
erhood to follow throughout the
year.
Since the convention date was
set as June 27, 1949, and not n
week later which would make the
opening session in July, Delegate
Armstrong; voiced opinion of fol-
lowing the word and letter of the
Constitution, proved a boomerang.
President Duffy in his opening
remarks touched briefly upon the
issues to come before the delegates
for consideration and the serious
thought that must be given to
the evidence presented in
order to reach a fair and just de-
cision. Attention was also called to
the injunction suit against Broth
arhood officials which will be taken
up later in the convention.
Reverend Charles c. Beausanc,
assistant pastor of Star of the Sea
Church in Atlantic City, gave the
opening prayer and asked Gods
blessing on the deliberations and
His Divine Guidance over the dele
gates throughout the proceedings

acute. A cotton-picking machine
is coming into use. For this and
