Most of the harm done is in

By Betty Miles

A touch of the tropics is the
thing Mrs. Harriet Ann Hicks OF
1901 Connecticut avenue NV.
has incorporated into her home
and wardrobe, and a most effec-
tive touch it is.
During the war, Mrs. Hicks
served as a Gray Lady in what was
then the Biltmore Hospital in the
old Biltmore Hotel in Coral
Gables, Fla. Teaching crafts to
the servicemen was part of her
work, and one of these crafts was
the making Of things by weaving
leaves from the pandanus tree,
The interesting hobby she now
pursues is the result of this work.
A. coffee table, attractive head
boards for beds. picture frames,
scrapbook covers and very light
weight handbags are among the
things she has turned out. One
of the bags, a shoulder bag, is
lined in. two-tone green striped
sailcloth and carried with a
leather strap. Mrs. Hicks has also
designed an overnight handbag of
this material. Space for a shower
cap is provided in a waterproof
section, and there are also sepa-
rate compartments for nightgown
and toothbrush. This same bag
can, of course, also be used as a
beach bag.
Mrs. Hicks gathers the long,
sword-shaped leaves herself in
Florida. with the aid of twin sons
attending the University of
Miami, climbing trees to pick
those leaves that are useful for
her work. The tan, dried-out
leaves that the green tree sheds
constantly are those taken. The
tree itself is sometimes called the
screw pine, because of the spiral
shape Of the leaves, and the pine
applelike fruit the tree bears.

Wants Antitrust
LoophoIes Closed

Washington (LPA)-One loop.
hole in the antitrust laws that
needs closing, the Federal Trade
Commission reported last week, is
the one that allows corporations
to buy the physical assets, instead
of the stock, of company it
wishes to absorb. The present Clay
ton Act covers only the purchase
of stock.
The FTC points out that more
than 2450 independent manufac-
turing and mining companies have
been absorbed by mergers since
1910, and asks the new power "to
enable it to deal effectively with
the problem of curbing corpora
tion mergers and ACQUISITIONS
which are inimical to the public in
terest."
During the last fiscal year, ETC
ordered companies to cease and
desist price-fxing and restraint of
trade combinations or false and
misleading advertising of products
in 73 cases.

Attendance verv
Good At Meetings
Of Local No. 124

1t has been some time since any
news from Local Union 124 has ap-
peared in the Herald, but we are
all set to once again keep the
trade informed Of the activities of
Local 124.
We have been having some very
interesting meetings and the at
tendance has been very good.
Trade problems creep up from time
to time but we have been very sue
cessful in meeting these issues and
settling them in the proper man
ner.
We wish we could give the same
report on our No. l headache, the
60-40 decal controversy, but at
present writing it still remains un-
settled. We anxiously look forward
to the day when this matter is set
tied once and for all.
The decorators at the Taylor,
Smith & Taylor pottery have been
having trouble trying to secure un-
employment compensation. T h =
local is doing all they can in this
matter and it is hoped the people
not working will be able to draw
their benefits in the very near
future.
Work has not been as good as it
could be in some of the local plants
and it is the wish of all that it i'm
proves very soon. 1t has been re-
ported that liners working on the
benches have been loafing while
the lining machines have been op-
Grating. This does not seem fair to
the bench liners and they feel they
should be given their share of this
work.-O.C. 124

Move Upholds AFL Stand Against Unit

Paris (LPA)-A new interna-
tional federation of democratic
trade unions will be the subject of
early talks by leaders of western
European workers, and representa-
tives of American unions. Both
CIO Secretary-Treas James
Carey and AFL European Repre-
sentative Irving Brown made this
clear in statements issued last
week as the World Federation of
Trade Unions split irrevocably
into pro-democratic and pro- Soviet
blocs.
The WFTU breathed its last
when the Communist four to three
majority of the executive bureau
defeated a motion sponsored by
Carey, and WFTU President Art
hur Deakin, leader of the British
Trades Union Congress, which
would have suspended WFTU acti-
vities for year. This was the only
formula which CIO and TUG
spokesmen meeting >in London
prior to the executive bureau ses-
sion could arrive at which would
have permitted them to maintain
contact with the Russian and other
Communist t-dominated unions.

From all reports it looks like we
will have steady work for some

and expects to have it in operation
the latter part of February.
Our new wage scale has been
signed after several conferences
with the firm in which several
matters were ironed out to the sat

The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-01-27

WFTU conduct was the resolve OF
the democratic unions to see the
European recovery program sue
ceed, and the Communist-dominat-
ed labor groups opposition to it.
Supporting Carey and Deakin
was Evert Kupers, delegate from
the Dutch unions. VASTLY Kuznet-
SOW, chairman of the Russian trade
union federation led the bloc which
defeated the US-British motion.
He was supported by the WFTU
executive bureau members from
France, Italy, China and Latin
America.
Even before the vote was taken
the outcome was clear. "There is
no use pretending the WFTU is
anything but corpse" Carey said.
Lets bury it."
Deakin disclosed that the Russ
ian delegate had countered his sus-
pension motion with one which
would have limited WFTU activity
in the coming year, but would not
suspend its operations. The US
and British. delegates could not ac-
cept this proposition, Deakin said.
"We tried that previously" he
pointed out, referring to a Carey

Labor Wins ECA
Ruling Change

Washington (LPA)-United act
ion by AFL and CIO maritime
unions paid dividends this week,
Backed by other unions and by
shippers, maritime labor won from
Economic Cooperation Administra-
tor Paul Hoffman another post
ponement in his plan to abrogate
the rule that 500 of ECA bulk
cargo. must be sent abroad in Am
erican vessels.
Following a conference between
ECA officials, spokesmen of sea-
going and shipbuilding labor, and
shipowners, Hoffman announced
that not less than 50%6 of Marshall
plan cargo will travel in US bot
toms at least until April l. Last
December, when Hoffman first sug-
gested a change in the rules, mari
time unions won a delay until Feb.
/, to give the new Congress a
chance to consider the problem.
This weeks victory will allow
enough time, union officials hope,
for Congress to plan a complete
overhaul of the governments mer-
chant maritime policy. assuring
higher employment levels to sail
ors and shipyard workers. Both
