Presidents Steel
Plan Gets Results

Washington UPA) - President
Truman's suggestions that the pub
lie find out whether or not the steel
industry is prepared to meet the
nations needs has, despite all the
industry attacks upon it, brought
some results already.
The Steel Products Advisory
Committee which administers the
industry's voluntary ALLEGATIONS
programs agreed last week to Com
merce Dept recommendations with
out a whimper. Before the cleo
tions the Committee, which is
made up of steel company vice.
presidents, had threatened to dis
band since the law under which it
has been operating expires in
March.
More mining machinery, oil field
equipment, and freight cars for
both domestic and foreign use are
provided for in the new allocations.
Principal foreign use of freight
cars will be hauling South African
to port for use by the
US steel industry itself. Grain
storage bins, and construction and
repair of merchant vessels are also
contemplated.
In the midst of the industry bar
rage against the Presidents sug-
gestions for a study of steel ca
pacity, government loans to the in
dustry for expansion, and possible
public construction of new plants
if industry refuses to erect more
blast furnaces, at least one iron
and steel business group was will
ing to identify itself with the
White House proposals.
A group of Texas business men
who've recently paid off govern
nent loans which helped them build

White House and told Truman that

shortly. Anyone found guilty of
throwing refuse behind the benches
or stilliards will be dealt with ac-
cordingly. A clean shop is healthy
shop, so let's all do our part in
keeping healthy.
The shop committee made an ex-
cellent report of grievances hand
led by their group and stressed
the importance of all employees
giving their fullest cooperation. If
this procedure is followed, griev-
ances can be reduced to a minimum
and any disputes which may arise,
can be settled in short order.

Happy Days Again
For Potters At
Cambridge Shops

Cambridge, Ohio = There was
reason for rejoicing among potters
n Cambridge when Plant No. ]
resumed operation last week and
No. 8 this week. Plant No. 2 will
start in week or two. Pay checks
are needed after the Christmas
drain on pocketbooks. New shapes
are now in production and we have
hopes of steady work.
At our first local meeting of the
New Year, officers were installed
for the coming year with James
Coffey, 1948 President doing the
honors. Frank Campbell is Presi-
ient and John Tulip, Vice Presi-
dent. Mr.. Campbell was recently
elected President of the Central
Labor Body for the fourth year.
He announced that local of bar
tenders, walters and mattresses
had been formed after many false
starts and delays. This is recogniz-
I'd as another step in the right dir
action and feather for the central
body.
The report of the Canvassing
Committee was read after requests
by the membership. 1t was receiv-
ed with mixed emotions. Some
faces were blank, some angry,
some amused, but none missed the
Importance or meaning of this re-
port. AS a sports writer once said,
hat a boxer does not fight the
Champion twice and retain his
.eputation, and as | was told sew
1ral years ago that Bro. Duffy can
AXE care of himself in any COM
pany, so he has again. Though the
md of the salary squabble is not
in sight, the odds are with Mr..

NLRB Poll For
UTSE Employees

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB
last week gave employees at the
Trueman Fertilizer Co. in Jack
sonville, Fla, a chance to choose
the United Transport Service En-
ployes as their union.
UTSE has recently been request
ed to send in organizers by work
ers in several agricultural products
plants in the south. Trueman en-
ployes are members of Local 1000
UTSE-the United Fertilizer and
Allied Workers.
The board told the Trueman Co.
last week that it's not up to en-
ployers to try to tell the govern
ment agency whether or not a
union is in compliance with federal
law. UTSE has met all legal con-
ditions for an NLRB ballot, the
board said.

for the party, which seem to get
bigger and better each year.
Special thanks also to Messers
Stephen, Chester and Thomas Wen
czel, Kenneth Bray and William
Holland who footed the bill and to
the committee which arranged the
party comprising Walter Pugh,
chairman; Fred C. Gergauser,
Frank Sobon, Florence Michaloski,
Anna Murranka, Stephanie Chest
er and John Scott.
The Wenczel Company which
manufactures wall and floor tile
and high-grade art ware and novel
ties, has for many years made the
Chris t mas Season something
worthwhile for their employees to
celebrate. Each employee receives
turkey which generally averages
better than 20 lbs. Instead of a
bonus this year the company, in
keeping with the new amendment
to the Unemployment Act, has inn
proved II death benefit and hos
group policy along
with the sick and accident insur-
ance required now under New Jer-
sey law, which will provide approx
imately $26.00 a week if en-
ployees are affected by sickness or
accident not covered by regular
compensation.
Local 181 has been in agreement
with the Wenczel Company for
better than eight years and during
all that time has not had one
minute of work stoppage. We at
tribute this to intelligent leader
ship by Brotherhood officials and
fair and honest consideration be-
tween employer and employee. We
believe our wage average is as
high as any pottery in the country.
At present we are working under
a union shop check-off contract
which includes straight time pay
for holidays if loafed and double
time for work performed on holi-
days or Sunday and time and one
half for overtime and Saturday
work.
The art ware department is not
operating at full capacity at pres
ent but the plant is going full
HAST on tile and the art ware work
ars are switched on the tile side
and maintain their previous hourly
earnings while pinch-hitting in tile.
At our next meeting officers will
be installed and we would appre-
.iate a good turnout. 1t is rumor-
ID that refreshments and a light
unch may be served by the social
,ommittee.-O.C. 181

Sanitary Firm At
Camden Outlines
Plans For Future

Camden, N. local Union 81
wound up activities for the old yea,
with the annual banquet sponsored
by the firm. The party was swell
affair with turkey and all the trim
mings.
Stanley Backner, vice president
in charge of sales was the emcee
and kept things rolling along in q
lively manner. Short talks were
made by Keith McAfee, chairman
of the board; Clyde Whitaker, pres
ident; Ward Whitaker, secretary
treasurer and Dick Rabe, factory
manager. Needless to say we were
honored by their presence and en-
fghtened in their remarks when
they revealed to us Universals
many accomplishments during past
years as we'll as the company's
plans to remain foremost in the
production of sanitary ware in the
future.
Local Union so wishes to express
its grateful appreciation of the
company's efforts to make Christ
mas little brighter for it's en-
ployees each year, and also wish
to extend belated New Years
greetings to all of Universal from
coast to coast.
On January a, Stan Backner, top
man here at Camden, spoke to all
employees assembled in the ship
ping room at the plant and ann
ounced the proposed merger of
Universal and Rumble Manufactur-
ing Company, effective Feb. /. Uni
versal who makes lavatories and
closets, merges with Rundles, who
manufactures bathtubs and fittings,
to form the Universal Rumble
Corp, makers of a full line of
bathroom equipment. All this is
gratifying evidence of our COM
pany's eye to the successful future
of Universal and to the job secur-
ity of all its employees.
At our last meeting we installed
the following officers for the new
term: Hobart Blake, president;
Frank Wannan, vice president;
Nicholas Busz, recording secretary;
Eddie Dominik, financial secretary.
We would like to take this op-
portunity to commend Ro ber t
Gresch, former president for his
unselfish devotion to the duties of
that office during his reign. Bob
has scored for himself an enviable
record of which he may be very
proud.-O.C. so

Union 172
Votes To Increase
The Monthly Dues

Action taken at the last meeting
of Local Union No. 172 reversed
the stand taken by members at a
previous meeting, in which a
motion was passed to assess d
$1.00 penalty on any member who
failed to attend a special meeting
called by the local. Quite a lot of
discussion took place regarding
this fine and it was the consensus
of opinion to restore harmony into
our ranks, the penalty clause be
waived and all members who were
not present at the meeting on
December 10, be notified they are
not subject to a $1.00 fine.
Due to the financial strain on
the purse strings of the treasury,
the members decided to raise the
monthly dues from so cents to rs
cents. This was deemed necessary
after hearing the report of the fin
ancial secretary which showed the
funds in the treasury not solvent
to meet current expenses. All
members who have their dues paid
in advance at the old rate are
hereby notified to appear at the
next meeting and make up the diff
ference.
Delinquent members should also
take note of this fact and appear
at the next meeting and clear up
their arrearage or face suspen-

East Palestine, O.-Local Union
No. 81 still continues to carry
along although / must admit when
it comes to furnishing any news

The writer has been scanning the

ing for the eventual day when
glaring headlines will announce

When this is accomplished then the
next step for all labor is to point

Sebring, Ohio-President James
M. Duffy and Secretary-Treasu
Chas. F. Jordan attended the last
meeting of Local Union al and
were welcomed by a large turnout
of our membership, in addition to
many visitors from other Sebring
locals.
Questions of long standing were
discussed to the satisfaction of all
and | am sure all who. heard their
remarks have a much clearer pic
ture of conditions within the trade.
We appreciate their visit and hope
to have them back with us at some
future date.
The Royal China Co. gave each
of their employees a turkey at
Christmas. Those of us who are
fortunate to be employed by this
thoughtful concern, appreciate their
spirit of Christmas and feel sure
their good fellowship will be fully
repaid in loyalty. The plant OPP
Grated through the holidays.
Another plant to be commended
for their Christmas spirit was the
Spaulding China Co. who gave
their employees a turkey dinner
and have made arrangements to
pay a large part of the premium
on the group insurance of their
employees. The Spaulding also op-
Grated through the holidays.
The Limoges China is again in
full operation but the French Saxon
remains idle at present.

Salem, Ohio-Upon learning of
meeting held recently at the

1t looks as though the commit
tee can really hustle on a full
stomach SO we pray that they main
tain healthy appetite and keep
up the good work and our Golden
Jubilee celebration in October will
be something to remember.
What happened to Resolution
Isl at our last convention pertain
ing to issuing journeyman cards to
NB.O.P. members. The resolution
passed and has much merit and
should be fulfilled as ordered.
The Health Committee got on the
job and we no longer smell any
fumes around the dipping machine.
They informed us electric whirlers
and dust collectors for the finish
ers will be installed as soon as the
necessary materials can be obtain
ed. Until this becomes a reality,
how about using the broom and
floor oil little oftener?
The financial status of the local
seems to be in very good shape
according to report of the audit
ing committee. A vote of thanks |
was extended them for their fine
work.
Nomination of national officers
will be held at our meeting on
January "a. Every member should
turn out and exercise his right
and privilege.
We read in the daily press where
the director of the PAC states the
people of Ohio are going to win a
very important seat in the senate
Of the United States in 1850. We
heartily agree with this prediction
and while we do not wish to add
two milestones to our life in rapid
fashion, we anxiously await the

Cop Faithful To
Standpat Policy

Washington UPA) - Having
beaten back the liberal Repub-
leans major bids for recognition
in the Senate, top COP leaders this
week are making sure that the for
Incoming Republican policy confer
ence keeps the party on the re-
dictionary line of the late 80th Con-
gress.
In announcing general party sup
port for a a"grass roots" policy con-
ference Republican Natl Commit
tee Chairman Hugh Scott denied
that the COP lost the election be-
cause of its conservative position.
"We may as well face the issue
frankly" Scott said, land say to
those who believe that we should
initiate the Democrats in all things
that their proper course of action
S to support the Democrats"
A similar challenge to even the
mild liberalism of some Republican
senator's was issued last week by
Sen. Robert A. Taft Or, Ohio)
after his two to one reelection as
Republican Policy Committee chair
man in the Senate.
Taft chided the critics of his
'eadershipin the old Congress with
having no program of their own,
and just wanting to move closer
to the Democrats. He declared that
his reelection was a vote of con-
fidence for his policies.
Scott reiterated last week his de-
termination to hold on to the Natl
Committee job despite criticism
from some Dewey supporters as

With dignity the great lawgiver
stands,
Heroic leader of another day
Who brought his people from a
captive land
And gave them noble precepts
to obey.
Here is man who listened
to his God
Who babe him write the laws
of living down
And give them to his people
for their need,
Guiding them on to safety and
renoWn.
These laws reman for us to
use today
AS plain as when wise Moses
wrote on stone.
They are the guideposts in the

Each man must seek and follow
as his own.

hOnors In the statewide contest.
The 800 trappers in the contest
accounted for 1881 foxes, with red
pelted specimens outnumbering the
gray animals six to one, according
to Prof. D. B. Fales, assistant All

total of 8,768 foxes have been trap
ped by rural boys of the state.

trappers attended the ceremony and
watched the presentation of awards.
Premru, the state champion, re-
ceived a repeating shotgun as top
prize. Other awards totaling about
$3.50 in value were presented other

you like. Eggs will be effective and
appropriate place cards at the East

Two appropriate creations cer-
tain to appeal are the pert bunny

cardboard is used for the base and
for the stand-up collars that hold
the eggs.
Use yellow dye for the chicken.
Rest the egg on a collar with a
perky bow tied under the "chin:"
Paint on eyelashes and attach a

highlights of Easter will probably
be the coloring Of Easter eggs.
Though some adults think that

large percentage Of grownups

many people welcome Easter as a
time when their artistic skill can
be brought into full swing.
You may make the eggs as elab-
