DIRECTOR A. w. MARION
The 1949 Ohio State Fair August
27 through September in Colum-
bus will be the show window of
another years advances along many
lines, predicts Director A. w. Marion
of the Ohio Department of Agri-
culture.
Instituted and organized in 1850
to encourage the development of
agriculture and industry, successive
State Fairs have marked the mile
stones and mirrored Ohio's advance
ment up the broad highway of prog
ress," Director Marion says.
Nowhere on the face OF the earth
is there comparable land area that
even approaches Ohio in the total
agricultural and industrial wealth
produced. It is only natural, there
fore, that the Ohio State Fair has
become one of the worlds great ex-
positions"

New Utah Copper

stoppage was suspended after the
company agreed to creation of a
fact finding board by the Federal

A few weeks ago the board came
down with a report recommending
a pay boost of $2.71 a day for the
railroaders, but the management
refused to accept it. Federal and

kiIIen Speaker At
Labor College
5Oth Anniversary

London (LPA)-James S. Kill
en-, vice-president of the Int'l Bro
therhood of Pulp, Sulphite and
Paper Mill Workers-AFL, on loan
to the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration, which he is serving
as labor advisor in Great Britain,
will be featured speaker next
month at Ruskin College, Oxford's,
50th anniversary.
Ruskin College, operated by the
Trades Union Congress and the
Workers Educational Assn, is at
tended by British unionists inter
ested in getting the sort of educa-
ton that will increase their use
fulness to the labor movement.
Many of the students are aided by
scholarships provided by their own
unions.
Choice of an American speaker
for the golden jubilee is a natural.
American philanthropists contri-
buted a large part of the money
which started Ruskin, thereby
opening the famous educational in
stitution to young men and women
from the British unions. The Ann
erican historian Charles A. Board
was one of Ruskin's first faculty
members.
This year six young American
trade unionists are attending Rus
kin-five on union scholarships and
one under CT bill. James Tyree,
United Auto Workers member, will
be the first American to complete
Ruskin's two-year course.
The Americans at Ruskin have
done a good job of quietly streng-
thening Ang | o-American under
standing where it counts-among
the union people of the two coun-
tries. Now they're helping out in
Ruskin's fund drive, and hope to
persuade their unions back in the
US to contribute.
Besides Killen, speakers at the
celebration will include Sir Will
lam Lawther, chairman of TUG,
and Labor party spokesman Hugh
Dalton.

Erwin Local Lists
Their Delegates

Erwin, Tenn.-Local Union 1O3
has been having some very inter-
esting meetings with never dull
moment from the minute the meet
ing gets underway until the pres
ident's rap of the gavel calling fol
adjournment. The eight-hour shift
on one kiln is still an outstanding
topic for discussion but we have
hopes for an early settlement Of
this controversy without any hard
feelings.
Brother Larry Finlay and two Of
his workers paid US visit on May
10, the day we held our election. 1t
is very good to read their reports
and digest them thoroughly. We
hope everyone in the trade would
do so and then realize how much
we have at stake and go down the
road with the policy of the Nation
al Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters and carry out the mandates of
our conventions.
We have been working slow and
can understand how our brothers
in other potteries felt after the
war rush caught up with them.
Our earnest hope is we soon go
back to steady work so we won't
have to move from one job to an
other.
We had a very spirited argu-
ment over the number of delegates
to send to the convention. Some
proposed ten and some half that

and lis for less than two years.
Although the x-rays indicated
only one case Of occupational dis
ease, they do show that such x-rays
are valuable to the individual en-
ployee, considering how many cases
of non-occupational diseases were
found.
Only 73 workers were examined
for lead absorption. The normal
lead concentration, for everyone
ranges up to .08 milligrams pei
liter in urinanalyses. More than
half of the workers showed lead
absorption of less than this
amount, even though most of the
tests were of glaze and kiln work
ers who are most exposed to the
danger of lead poisoning. Seven of
those tested showed what the
health department calls "very ex-
cessive amounts" of lead concen-
tration, but there was only one
case severe enough to be called
actual lead poisoning and none of
the cases were hospitalized.
Garry Workman, president of
the Laguna Beach Ceramic Society,
which aided the department in
making these tests, has pointed
out that the tests are not yet con-
elusive because of the fact that
many of the workers, employed in
potteries for only a short time,
have no previous health records
with which these findings can be
compared, and might have contact
ed the diseases previously.
"For instance" he says, "there
was one major case of lead poison
ing found. But that worker had
been a painter and had contacted
lead poisoning before"
To protect employers, in cases
like this, and to generally safe
guard the health of employees, the
health department has recommend
ed pre-employment health exam
nations and periodical exam
thereafter, and has offered to give
these to employees without charge.
