Labor Urged 10
Back Gov. BoWIes

New Haven, Conn. ILNS)-The
Connecticut Federation of Labor
in convention here was urged by
it's president, Timothy M. Collins
to support Gov. Chester Bowles
with all the vigor at it's COM
mand."
"Gov. Bowles," Collins said, "has
cooperated 100 percent with the
program of the Connecticut Fed
Grafton of Labor. The Governors
program of labor and social legis-
lation was just as practical and
liberal as the federation's pro-
gram"
Collins also asked for the defeat
of Connecticut's 3 Republican Rep
resentatives in Congress during a
renewal of his attack on the Taft
Hartlye labor law. He also called
for support of Senator Brien Nc
Mahon and the 3 Democratic Rep
resentatives from the state in Con-
gress.
Joseph M. Rourke, secretary
treasurer of the federation, also
the Republican legislative
record and praised Governor
Bowles' program, which had been
by the Republicans.

Discuss Pension
Plan At Meeting
OF Local Union 26

Kokomo, Ind.-Local Union &c
has had some rather interesting
meetings of late, perhaps the livel-
lest of which occurred when Pres
ident Mitchell asked for comment
from the floor on what the mem
bers would like to see included in
a pension plan.
There were many and varying
suggestions, but the big item is
that one hundred per cent of our
boys feel that wheh a fellow has
to retire because of age or disabil-
ity, he is entitled to a pension, and
we are confident the company and
the union can get together on an
acceptable plan.
Local 26 is sponsoring six bowl
ing teams this year. They bowl
each Saturday afternoon and the
fellows report they had a lot of
fun on the first two Saturdays.
The only casualty SO far was one
good brother who managed to fall
over the rack and get bumped in
the head with some balls and to
bump his head on the alley. Meth
er head, balls or alley showed any
damage so it could hardly be call
ed casualty. -O.C. 26

DTaft Berates Labor For Organizing
Politically, But Uses Same Tactics

Is it wrong for workers to or.
ganize political education groups
in Ohio, but all right for conserva-
tives to set up Taft-for- Senator
clubs?
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R., Ohio)
apparently thinks so.
Is it "dictatoriap to ask
trade unionists to contribute to
political action funds, but
democracy at work" when re-
actionaries collect money to re-
elect Taft?
\ The Senator seems to think so.
Another Question
Is it Shocking" when workers
finance newspapers and radio pro-
grams to present the facts about
Taft's record? But is it okay for
Taft to write weekly column for
It's newspapers and broadcast a
program each week oyer 40 sta
tions?
That's the way Taft looks at
things.
Neglecting his duties in Wash
ington in order to open his 1850
election campaign, Taft has been
talking about the menace of politi-
cal education and action on the
part of labor in speeches before
Ohio luncheon clubs.

Union Sues To
Halt Operation Of
Buses By State

Washington OPA) = An AFL
union has filed a complaint with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in an attempt to halt the
strike-busting activities of the
State of Virginia.
The union is Local 1131, Anal
gamated Association of Street,
Electric Railway & Motor Coach
Employees. Employed by the Alex
andria, Bancroft and Washington
Transit company, 400 drivers and
mechanics went on strike July 21
when the company rejected their
contract proposals. The Virginia
State Corporation Commission at
once took over operation of the bus
lines.
The complaint charges violation
of the law in that Virginia has no
ICC certificate to operate buses
over the state line into Washing
ton, and asks an investigation and
hearing, and suspension or re-
vocation of the bus firms ICC GER
tifcate. The complaint also attacks
the constitutionality of the Vir-
ginia Public Utilities Seizures law,
under which the state is operating
the bus lines.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-09-29

Taft implies in his talks that
there is something wrong when
labor organizes state and local
political education groups, col
lects money to be used in, the
campaign against him and
publishes material and con-
ducts radio programs about his
career.
Yet Taft has an organization il
every one of the states SO coun'
ties. His supporters are busy col
lecting campaign fund that is
expected to total 81 million. He
writes a weekly column. He also
prepares a radio program each
week.
What's the Difference?
Taft is doing exactly what the
workers of Ohio are doing. He is
using every possible political tactic
to get reelected. And labor is uti-
lizing the same types of measures
to defeat him.
No one maintains that Taft
shouldn't try to get reelected.
That's his privilege. But many
persons wonder why Taft be-
rates his opposition for pre-
senting it's views. Labor is
just exercising it's democratic
right. You don't object to that,
do you, Senator?

Widen Your Views
Advice To medicos

Washington (LPA)-Unless the
next generation of doctors knows
more, and cares more, about the
social and economic problems of
their time, they'll be faced with a
"radical solution" such as national
health insurance.
The freshman class at George
Washington University Medical
School composed of only 95 men
and women selected from nearly
5000 applicants) received that
warning from DR.. Raymond B.
Allen, president of the University

DR.. Allen alerted the students to

Local Union 1871
IAffiIiates With
State Federation

At a special meeting held or
September %, the members OF
Local Union 131 were given COM
plete report of the proceedings OF
the recent wage conference by
conferee James Bennett.
The report was we'll received
and the members feel real pro-
gress was made toward a pension
plan. At the conclusion of his re-
port, Bro. Bennett was asked many
questions regarding certain pro-
posals and he very ably told of the
action taken at the conference.
Sister Mildred Mckenzie, pres
ident of Local Union 1875 and a vice
president of the West Virginia
State Federation of Labor was a
visitor and was granted the floor
for a few remarks. She discussed
the activities of the state body and
the benefits to be gained by clay
workers in affiliating with the fed
Grafton.
After listening to Sister Nc
Kenzie's fine talk, the local went
on record to affiliate with the West
Virginia State Federation of Labor.
Ignoring our repeated warn
ings for members to keep a close
check on their dues books, we find
some who are reaching the danger
stage and unless they clear up this
arrearage at our next meeting will
face suspension. Remember, you
suspend yourse f
when you become four months in
arrears.
Best wishes to our shut-ins and
We sincerely hope all will be back
1t the bench soon. -O.C. 131|

Scribe Informs
Trade Local II Is
Still Functioning

1t has been a long time since any
news from Local Union IL has ap-
peared in the Herald, but we
would like to inform the trade we
are carrying along in our custom
ary manner of meeting every
Tuesday evening in room 8 at ma
tional headquarters.
While the attendance has in
creased the last few meetings
there is still room for improvement
before we reach the stage of a
few years back when every chair
in the hall was occupied on meet
ing night. There can be little doubt
that many of the difficulties we
face today resulted from lack of
attendance at union meetings.
Our conferees. to the wage con-
ference made their report and
while we were a little disappointed
that certain provisions we sought
were not embodied in the new
agreement, we feel progress has
been made. Especially pleasing to
the members was the report that
committees would be named by
both parties to the contract who
will investigate the possibilities of
setting up a pension plan.
Our next meeting is scheduled
for Tuesday, Oct. 2. Let every
member make it point to be pre-
sent. -O.C. II

A dim future for the American
dinnerware industry resulting dir
ectly from the devaluation of the
British pound was forecast this
week by Joseph M. Wells, Sr., for
eign relations committee chairman
of the United States Potters Asso-
citation, whose members manufac-
ture 80 per cent of the dinnerware
produced in the United States.
Naturally, the manufacturers
of American dinnerware are SER
iously concerned about the effect
of the British pound devaluation
on their industry's sales" Mr..
Wells said. at will mean lower
prices on imported dinnerware, the
tariff on which has been too low

In an effort to frighten the strik-
ers into accepting the proposed low
pay scale, the big farm owners are
parading some 200 mechanical cot
ton pickers through the workers
quarters of towns in the cotton
area.
Mitchell says, however, that
there are only about 1900 mechan-
ical pickers in the entire country
and that it would take many more
than 1900 to pick the California
crop alone.
William G. Trafton, union or
ganizer, was arrested in Tulare
county, one of the main centers of
the strike, under a hastily passed
ordinance forbidding motor cara
vans of strikers from travelling
thru the cotton area and banning
loudspeakers. The Visalia Central
Labor Union-AFL got up Trafton's
bail.
Armed guards have been station
ed on roads leading into Kings
county to keep the strike from
spreading there from Kern, Tul-
are and Fresno counties where the
walkout is nearly 100 percent eff
fective. At least one motor cara
van has been turned back, Mitchell
"We'll let them fill up the jails,"
one strike leader declared. "There1l
still be thousands of men and
women who will refuse to pick the
cotton crop"

Political Drive Planned
BY Minnesota AFL

Duluth, MINI. (LPA) - Mime
sofa AFL leaders mapped out &
program for intensive politica
action which has as its goal defeat
of the states remaining Republican
congressman, at the annual state
convention here.
Robert A. Olson, Federation pre-,
sident, made it clear that there will
be no cooperation with the CIO OF
Railroad Brotherhoods, as was sug-
gested recently by the state CIO
convention.
One of the principal goals will be
to elect a liberal majority in the
state legislature-an action unpre-
cedented in state history. Mime
sota's forerunner of the Taft-Hart-
ley act, the 10-year-old Stassen
law, still is on the books. The
chairman of the legislatures labor
committee is John J. Kinzer, Cold

Singer Workers
Turned Down For
Unemployment Pay

Elizabeth, N. J. (LPA)-More
than 1000 workers who have been
pounding the pavement in front OF
the Singer sewing machine plant
here since May 2 were denied un-
employment payments this week
by the state of New Jersey.
1t was the second time the COM
pensation claims of the Singer
strikers were turned down. The
test cases involved in the latest
ruling covered four plant workers,
two of them members of the United
Electrical Workers and two of
them not union members.
The state security board ruled
they were all disqualified because
they were idle due to labor dis
pute.
No progress at all has been
made on Singer negotiations. The
company refuses to bargain until
the union accepts the standards
system" which is a speedup form
of incentive system.

Members of Local
SO To Attend I'm
School AT Frisco

Richmond, Calif.-Due to Local
S9's first meeting being called off
because of Labor Day, only one
meeting was held for the month of
September
Hugh Caudel, president of Con-
ira Costa Central Trades and
Labor Council appeared at this
meeting to ask the support of Local
SO in putting over the new hospital
bond election. His talk was very
we'll received and at the conclusion
the local voted unanimously to
support this worthy cause and also
to help finance the publicity nee
essary.
Bro. Ralph Decatur, president Of
the shop bowling league reported
that ten teams were bowling this
year and all are going well.
President Rex Morgan gave re-
port from Trades and Labor Coun-
ell, explaining the retail clerks
position in striking several chain
stores in the Richmand area, and
asked all members of the local to
see that their families and friends
observe the picket lines at these
unfair establishments.
A motion was passed to once
again have members of the local
attend the l. o Management
school being held at the University
of San Francisco.
The members were also inform
ed that complete new mailing list
was being drawn up to be sent to
the Potters Herald, as many of the
members have been complaining
they were not receiving the
Herald.
Rumor has it the plants two
most eligible bachelors, brothers
Melvin Kirkland and Gil Bernhard
will soon be marching down the

Unions Insist
On 7Oc As Steel
oIkS Resume e

Pittsburgh (LPA)-On behalf of
its million members, the United
Steelworkers wage policy COM
mittee has accepted President Tru-
mans request for immediate re-
sumption of negotiations on the
basis of giving greatest weight
and earnest consideration" to the
10c-an hour pension and social in
surance proposals.
This extends for the last time,
USA President Philip Murray
warned, the truce between steel
corporations and the union to mid
night, Oct. l.
"When | sit down with US Steel
tomorrow" Murray told reporters,
al expect the negotiations to be
within the framework of the six
and four policy" laid down by the
fact-fnders who reported to Pres
ident Truman on the contract dis
pute Sept. 10.
Murray also made it crystal clear
that he will insist on the pension
and social insurance funds being
financed entirely by employer pay
ments. The big steel corporations
have been insisting on employe
payments, contrary tot sugges-
ton of the fact-finders, and des-
pite the fact that their own top
salaried officers are the benefciar-
les of annual company-paid pen
sions running into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
