more interesting than the score in

the contest and there was not a
vacant seat in the bleachers
throughout the game. Paul Car

Verne Bailey of Newell, W. Va.
were the umpires.
Always a feature at Potters'

ScammeII China
Locks Out Potters
In Wage Dispute

Trenton, N. Local Union 35
elected delegates to the convention
| at their last meeting and while the
attendance left a great deal OF
room for improvement, it is better
than we have been having since
the fines were taken off.
Elimination of the non-attend-
ance fines brought about when it
was decided to have door prize
each meeting, in an effort to in
crease attendance. If this is not the
answer to our problem, then in all
probability we will revert back to
the non-attendance penalty.
The delegates elected to repre-
sent US at the convention were
Dorothy Bissett, Joseph p. Brown
and John Breil.
We in the East had a great treat
in being able to participate and to
see the great AFL Union Label
Show held in Philadelphia. Those
of Local Union 35 working at the
potters' booth were Fred Perdunn,
James Tuzzolo, William Hutchin-
son, Joseph P. Brown and Dorothy
Bissett.
We are very sorry to report to
the trade that members of Local
35 were locked out of the Scam
nell China Co., by refusal of the
firm to pay the minimum wage
agreed to between the N. B. of
o. p. and the firm. At a special
meeting a unanimous vote was
given to back up those members
not receiving the proper pay.

This applies to all who are insured
! as of July /, 1850. The group pre-
] MUM based on published rates is,
this year, as it was last year, 22@o
higher than the premium actually
paid by our members. The average
rate reduction allowed on similar
groups by other companies is
19.44R, and under no other Group
Plan can the insurance be contin-
ued after change or cessation of
employment. This is the only plan
that you can "take with you."
1t is probably in order to remind
our membership that through the
efforts of our President, James M.
Duffy, and his Executive Board
such plan of group insurance was
made possible and state that this
is the only plan of "group insur-
ance" in force in these United
States that "you can take with
YOU. That means, regardless of
employment, as long as you remain
a member of the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters and the
group policy remains in force you
can continue your protection by
payment of the regular premium
and your required dues.
A note of interest is the fact
that now more than seven hundred
(700) disabled andior retired pot
ters are insured under this plan
at regular group life insurance
rates. Under any other plan these
people would either now be unin-
sured or forced to pay full rate
which at age 65 is about $4.00 per
month for $500 of life insurance
only.
We trust that this is conclusive
proof as to the value of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Operative
Potters Plan.
In few shops members are in
sured for additional coverage such
as family protection, surgery, in
creased weekly indemnity. This
"credit" applies only to the "basic"
N.B.O.P. insurance plan. 1t is nee
essary to charge the regular pre-
MUM for any extra coverages.
The Brotherhood Plan is super
vised by Francis P. White, General
Agent, of East Liverpool who con-
ceived the idea and introduced the
plan about 10 years ago. At that
time he visited practically every
local union of the National Bro
therhood of Operative Potters and
explained the protection to our
membership. A personal solicita-
tion was made in most of the
plants. Today more than 10000
members are enrolled under the
plan.

Indications are the convention
will adopt a resolution calling for
some modification of veterans
preference, but how strong or far
reaching it will be depends on the
temper Of the delegates when the
issue comes up for debate.
The resolutions fayoring mod

declare longtime non-veteran
career employees have lost any
sense Of job security. The
sponsors declare career employees
already have been hard hit by
veterans preference and that
many more face the loss of their

modified.
Their resolutions advocate giv-

Republican Charges
|0Dwyer Was Friend
OF Frank Costello

Investigation Of charges that
former Mayor William ODwyer
of New York was a one-time
friend of the underworld boss,
Frank Costello, was demanded
today at Senate hearing on the
nomination Of Mr.. ODwyer as
Ambassador to Mexico.
Henry B. Poor, a former foreisn
service officer and Republican
candidate for the House, opposing
Representative Franklin D. Roose-
velt, jr., in New York, was the
lone witness appearing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee objecting to the appoint
ment.
Mr.. O'Dwyer also was present
at the closed session Of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Poor attacked Mr.. oDwy-
Ler's record as district attorney of
Brooklyn and charged that the
former mayor failed to prosecute
a perfect murder case.
He said that in the grand iury
presentment, after an investiga-
tion of Mr.. o'Dwyer's record as
district attorney, it was found
that there was negligence. incom-
petence and fragrant irresponsi-
bility whereby (Albert) Anastasia
was permitted to escape prosecu-
tion, conviction and punishment
for that murder and for q num-
Der Of other vicious crimes"
The committee was still In ses-
sion when Mr.. Poor emerged from
the hearing room and distributed
copies of his statement to the
press.
The witness cited book edited
by Robert S. Allen entitled Our
Sovereign States" in which it was
said that MIR. O'Dwyer was once
"a frequent guest of Frank Co.'S
tello."
Chairman Connally had an
|nounced earlier that Representa-
tive Marcantonio, American La
Dor Party. of New York, who he
said started all this" won't be
on hand to testify or to question
the former mayor.
Mr.. Marcantonio had written
the committee that it ought to
investigate the political mach
nations" involved in Mr.. ODwyer's
resignation as Mayor Of New York.
The resignation forced q special
city election which some Demo-
Gratis had hoped would bring out
a heavy vote and boost their
Statewide chances of electing q
Governor and a Senator.
That hope has been clouded,
however, by a party split in New
York City. Acting Mayor Vincent

nounced he will run as an inde-
pendent.
