The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-08-11

ganized labor as an enemy of labor,
possessing all the malice any hu-
man being might become victim of
and is out to wreck the labor
movement of the United States.
So actually, the flaming head
lines of the Review of August 6,
I"Penalty on Potters seen as Coer-
cion" was based on this arch
enemy of organized labor's opin-
ion without any other decent
grounds and absolutely devoid of
any basis, in fact of any law of the
land or any common sense reason
ing. Such newspaper practice as
this can only be regarded as in
keeping with yellow journalism.
Our account in last weeks issue
Of the Potters Herald is a true ac-
count of what happened during
the hearing of August l. Chair
man Jacobs repeatedly commended
the delegates of our last National
Convention for the wisdom they ex-
hibited in depriving members who
had been declared guilty Of mis-
conduct for violation Of certain
sections of our National Constitu-
tion and he specifically said that
DR.. Liserson, an outstanding auth
|ority for many years in such mat
tiers, along with the best minds in
Washington who had been wrest-
ling with the problem as to type
and kind of punishment to mete
out to members of labor unions for
violation Of collective bargaining
contracts, or as a means of main
tanning reasonable discipline with
in the union, was the very thing
which our delegates had determin-
ed to impose upon its members in
volved in the case disposed of in
our last Convention.
The language of the statement
that Duffy had given to the COM
mittee, that penalties had been
meted out because the opposition
coveted officers jobs was a vicious
and deliberate attempt at smear
ing. The only time Duffy mention
ed the opposition seeking election
to the national offices was his
statement that these individuals
contested for these Offices in 1947
when they knew what the salaries
were and of course, had they been
elected they would never have
made issue of salaries in court as
to legality.
Finlay ct al, under cross exam
ination by members of the sub
admitted the salaries
had been made available to the ma
tional officials by action of the
delegates in National Convention.
This was departure from Finlay's
saying that Duffy and Jordan had

borate arrangements have been
made by the committee in charge
to insure all a real days fun.
There will be plenty of refresh
ments plus a program of varied
events which will include enter
tainment for the youngsters as
well as the grownups.
Quite a large turnout was on
hand at the last meeting to hear
the report of the delegates to the
convention. rs in fact were seated
in the hall as the president raped
the gavel calling the meeting to
order. The delegates gave their re-
ports and opinions as to what took
place at the trial. This was very
interesting and was enjoyed by all.
There was quite a bit of discussion

There has been change in the
shop committee. Lester Smith is
the new chairman. Curtis Hutzley
has been added. These two gentle
men along with Chester Fisher

Sibert, newly elected president pre-
sided at the last meeting of Local
Union SO. The other new officers
are Robert Allison, vice president
Ben Flannery, financial secretary;
David Bevan, recording secretary;
Rose Payne, treasurer, and Rich
ard Frye, trustee.
The attendance was good as
usual and the newly elected officers
were assured the fullest coopera-
tion of the membership in carrying
out the duties Of their respective
offices.
Work is very slack at present
and a lively discussion followed
rumors that three casters were to
be laid off and would not be ac-
,orded their fair and equal share
# work as provided in the agree
nent.
The report of the auditing COM
mittee was postponed until our
next meeting. The committee was
unable to get together to go over
the books and a new committee
comprising Lester Corbin, Richard
Frye and Richard Flannery was
named and will make their report
at the next meeting.
Bro. Jim Ward is convalescing
in local hospital and rumor has
it he will soon be back on the job.
Ralph Crispino has been a pat
lent in the hospital for the past
five weeks. A card or a visit to
these brothers would be greatly
appreciated.
The locals deepest sympathies
ire extended Garland Zirkle in
the death of his father.
Business of an important ma
ture will be discussed at our next
meeting and every member is
urged to be present. -O.C. SO
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-08-11

At this same meeting ten new
members were obligated, with one
prospective member refusing to
join. Under our union shop contract
this lone dissenter was laid-o off
next morning. 1t is very seldom
that the union shop clause is used,
but in this case as well as others,
we feel that we are better off with
out an individual that would en-
joy the benefits of a union without
assisting in obtaining or retaining
the working conditions and wages
that have been arrived at through
collective bargaining.
The picnic committee gave a re-
port on the plans made for this
years outing to be held at La
Honda Bowl on August 10th. Ac-
cording to all indications the out
ing this year will surpass all others
with free refreshments, swimming,
dancing, prizes and games through
out the day. The committee has
done a bang-up job and every
member and his family should
make this picnic must.
The locals sick club reported
enrolling twenty new members,
with many checks being distribut-
ed for members on the sick list.
Due to the change in orders
many of our members are being
downgraded to making the cheaper
type of sanitary fixtures according
to their seniority. This is quite a
blow to the pocketbook of many
but the shop is still op-
Grating five days a week.

Cafe Not In Interstate
Commerce, NLRB Says,
Reversing Denham Again

Washington (LPA)-The Tropi-
cal Club, a bar and grill in Oak
land, California, is not in inter
state commerce, the National Labor
Relations Board ruled, although
the office of NLRB General Coun-
sci Robert N. Denham had argued
strongly that it was.
Occasion for the Boards decis-
ion was a charge filed by one of
THE clubs bartenders that Bar
tenders Local 52-AFL had "dis-
|criminatorily" caused him to be
fired from his job.
In April of this year NLRB
Trial Examiner William f. Spenc-
er dismissed the complaint on the
unions motion that this was "a
type of proceeding in which the
National Labor Relations Board
should not, as a matter of policy,
assert jurisdiction" Denham's Of
flee asked the Board to reverse
the examiners opinion.
The Board, however, found that
the cafe was completely operated
within California, that only IA
small portion of its stock in trade
was produced outside the state and
that all the stock was purchased
from local dealers.

Anti Union Charge By Taft Exposed As
FaIsehood By Union In His Own State

Washington, D. c. Senator
Taft's antiunion propaganda has
been exposed as false by union
in his own state Youngstown
Local 200 of the International
Typographical Union. The whole
story was revealed in the "Con-
gressional Record" but has been
completely ignored by the daily
press.
What happened was that Taft,
in his attempt to defend the Taft
Hartley Acts ban on the "closed
shop" singled out the Youngstown
TYPOS" as an example"
In a speech on the Senate floor,
and in subsequent radio broadcasts,
declared that the Youngstown local
barred from employment small
town Ohio printer who learned his
trade in nonunion shop. Here are
Taft's exact words:
"He (the printer) went to
Youngstown and sought position
on the newspaper. He was sent to
the union which told him, No, we
will not take you into the union.
You learned in a nonunion shop.
If you want to go through years
of apprenticeship, all right. Other
wise, you cannot be a printer in
Youngstown Every shop in
Youngstown is union shop"
Then Taft declared, "it is this
arbitrary power against the indi-
vidual to which / object in the
closed shop"
What are the facts? President
M. M. Martin of the Youngstown
local gave them in letter to SEN

Now for Mr.. Jacobs. Jacobs is
an attorney who represented a re-
calcitrant group of members Of a
subordinate local union in Balti-
more, Md. of the International
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, AL. For purposes of
brevity the court awarded the sub
ordinate local union S250,000 to be
paid by the International. Jacobs
admitted, publicly during one of
the hearings in Washington, that
he received $4,000 fee for. his ser
vices. Later a story was carried in
the metropolitan dailies to the
effect that Jacobs actually received
$4,000 and he was accused of try
ing to cover up the actual amount
of the fee. To date Jacobs has not
denied this $4,000 fee. "The great
est curse of the American political
scene is that there is nothing so
as a cheap politician"
Jacobs membership in the Con-
gress of the United States in real
ity, is an accident, due to the fact
that in campaigning for his maiden
election to Congress he announced
he favored repeal of the Taft-H Hart

Close to a million workers in the

how the steel industry can try to

While the fact-fnders will pre-

companies will have another Is

or to shut down the industry

Here are some of the facts that
the steel barons have to overcome:
Murray Lattimer, one of the
nations experts on pension plans,
conducted a survey of widows of
of four of the biggest
steel corporations. These women,
all of whose husbands have died
in the past two years, received in
surance averaging from $1784 for
Bethlehem Steel to $3526 for US
Steel. Instead, Lattimer said, they
should have had $500 to $6815.

ed to Al and AT respectively. The
unemployment rate for workers
under 20, the group containing the
largest number of new entrants
into the labor market, was the
highest.
The study emphasizes that, al
though improved medical science
is increasing the longevity of the
population and the number of older
workers and resulting in higher
levels of physical ability on the
part of older workers, age restric-
tions continue to be operative
against them.
Capacity Found Disregarded
at is quite customary to restrict
hiring of new workers to those un-
der 40 or As years of age, without
taking into account the physical
and mental capacity of the indivi-
