Evansville Local
Thanks WheatIey
For His Services

Evansville, Ind.-The members
of Local Union 72 wish to take this
means Of expressing our sincere
thanks to Vice President Ed.
Wheatley for his recent visit in
aiding US negotiate a new wage
contract with the Peerless Pottery,
Inc.
After much discussion in confer
ence with officials of the firm
we were finally granted flat ten
cents across the board, retroactive
to August 21, for all employees,
plus a few working rules and con-
ditions Strengthened out.
We greatly appreciate the SER
vices rendered by Bro. Wheatley.
He is a man of tactful means and
is at all times cool and collected.
Once again many thanks for his
splendid cooperation and we always
welcome visit from him.
Business here is very good at
the present time and we are proud
to announce our membership is al
most one hundred per cent as of
Sept. 20.
Through the splendid teamwork
of our president, Mr.. Henry E.
Radigan and our shop chairman
and financial secretary, Eston M.
Dassell, all shop grievances and
issues are promptly carried out to
the satisfaction of all.
This local is also participating in
political action to defeat those who
are in favor of the notorious Taft
Hartley law. -O.C. 72

committee II they would be inter-
.ested in a joint contributory pen
sion plan. They had no details to
offer at the time but informed the
committee they would call in ex-
perts if we were interested. After
contracting the members the COM
mittee reported back in the affir-
native.
At later meeting the firm had
all the details set up in quite a
lengthy document, together with
five or six explanations for certain
employees and formula for figur-
ing the pension they would receive
on retirement.
Unfortunately, the pension along
without any wage increase was all
the firm offered As far as we
know this is the first time a pen
sion plan has been offered to any
one in the chinaware branch of the
industry and speaks of the far
sightedness of the firm and Mr..
Tassie in particular, in being aware
Of the trend to provide for en-
ployees who have given many years
of faithful service to their employ
er.
When the pension offer was put
before the local they agreed it was
a good and sound plan but due to
the rising costs of food, clothing,
rent, etc. this was not the time to
buy something that would further
reduce their ''take-home pay" Also
the fact many members would not
be included because Of age and
length Of service. The plan stipu-
lated employees must be at least
35 years of age and have five years
of continuous service with the COM
pany before being eligible to par
ticipate.
The committee informed the
firm the first consideration must
be an increase in wages across the
board. Mr.. Tassie conceded we had
a good point in wanting to talk
cash but expressed disappointment
the local saw fit to turn down the
pension offered. Vice President
Wheatley informed him the local
had not turned it down but merely
tabled it for an indefinite period.
He also expressed appreciation for
the time and hard work Mr.. Tassie
had put forth to make the pension
plan sound and practical.
The firm then offered four cents
across the board for all. After
much discussion the offer was
raised to five cents with the add
ed provision that any increase off
cred the generalware and china
ware branches of the industry at
the coming wage conference, should
it be more than a fraction of cent
above the five-cents offered by the
Lenox firm, the company would
give Us the additional amount.
At our last meeting the firms
offer was put before the members
and after all the details were ex-
planned by brothers Wheatley and
Devlin, the members voted to ac-
cept it.
The members of Local 184 were
saddened recently when three of
our members died within two weeks
time, Bros. Kenneth Blakely, James
Calderone and Leo Walsh. Our
deepest sympathy is extended their
owed ones. -O.C. 1874

WI. MSE1lSC WluOW, uIIos MAUI
crime Kirk McAfee, unveiled a
bronze dedication plaque at the
ceremony.
Present at the dedication were
corporation employees and execu-
tives of Universal Rundle's five
plants.
The Corporation originally in
tended to hold a more extensive
dedication and invite it's distri-
butors and dealers, leaders in the
plumbing fixture field and allied
industries, representatives of the
press and radio, notables in the
field of ceramic research and edu-
cation, and labor leaders.
"We sincerely regret" Mr.. Whit
taller said, "that we were not able
to have every one of our friends
and other interested persons here
with us in New Castle to dedicate
our new laboratory. However, in
view Of our nations war emer-
gency, our plans were necessarily
changed"
Purpose of the new laboratory,
according to Mr.. Whitaker, is ITO
continue Universal -Rundle's policy
of pioneering in the development
and improvement of products and
manufacturing methods"
Director of the laboratory is DR..
A. L. Johnson, one of the nations
leading ceramic engineers and a.
former professor at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
He heads a staff doing research
in four major divisions, namely:
ceramics, metallurgy, chemistry
and hydraulics.
DR.. johnson reports that the lab
oratory twill provide Universal
Rumble with research facilities Sec
ond to none in the plumbing fix
ture field.
In addition to apparatus for fun
damental work in the four divis-
lions, facilities of the laboratory
will include pilot-plant equipment
capable of duplicating any manu-
featuring process in Universal
Rundle's three vitreous china andl
two enameled cast iron plants.
Thus, research findings can bel
tested and tried on a semi-com-
mercial scale in building divorced
from the production area, properly
staffed and with adequate equip-I
ment and time for experimentation.
Such procedure provides the most
economical and effective method
for conducting research, since theI
productive capacity of the plants
is not affected in any way.
The laboratory will study pro-
duction methods with equipmentl
adapted for use on full-size plumb
ing fixtures. For example, the slip
house will be of sufficient size to
fabricate full-scale bowls, tanks, or
lavatories. The laboratory's kiln is
large enough to handle these items.
Melting facilities for cast iron or
other metals will also be available.
In these ways, the pilot-plant|
will bridge the gap between the
fundamental studies and the appli-
cation to Universal Rundle's pro-
ducts.
The new laboratory was design
ed by Universal -Rundle's engineer
ing department and the construc-

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS WITH
 CHRISTMAS SEALS

The Alaska Tuberculosis Association announces that the annual Christmas Seal Sale will begin in Alaska tomorrow. And, in previous years, the Juneau Kiwans Club has accepted the responsibility for the campaign among the city's business houses
 The tremendous cost of tuberculosis in terms or lives suffering and dollars is emphasized in the recent annual report of the National Tuberculosis Association. With Alaska's high incidence of the disease and the resultant mortality, we think lew facts and figures about TB should be of interect.
 Killing more than 10000 persons a year, tuber- culois accounts for deaths than all other ln- fectious diseases combined and is responsible for more deaths in the to 34 age group than any other dsease-infectious or not
 The monetary cost of TB is estimated to be Tn excess of 900 year This figure includes the cost of care services for the quarter million known to have the disease and the search for an equal number believed be victims, but unknown to health authorities.
 A communicates disease, TIE is also preventable disease the report states and can be brought under complete control if the present campaign of the med- cal profession the voluntary TB associations and of- ficial health agencies is stepped up and vigorously pursued.
