Urge Boss Potters
Follow Trend OF
Other Industries

Cambridge, Ohio - At our last
meeting held in October, delegate
James Coffey made his report oi
the wage conference held in New
York. Needless TO say all were glad
to receive the 10 cents per hour
wage increase but were very dis
appointed that no welfare and pen
sion plan was agreed upon.
With the excellent labor-manage-
ment relationship which exists in
the pottery industry, we cannot
understand why the manufacturers
will not follow the pattern of other
industries in providing a pension
and welfare plan for employees
who have spent years in their
plants.
Bro. Coffey gave a very complete
report and the members in appre-
citation for his service, extended
him rising vote of thanks.
The following members Bro.
Harry (Marse) Gould and Sisters
Marie Nealy, Tawanda Pastel
rueigh and Margaret Choma have
their mates and led them
to the altar. Our best wishes to the
newlyweds and may they enjoy
health and happiness for years to
come.
Work has been very good at the
Cambridge shops except in the lin
ing department.
Several Of our younger members
have received a call from Uncle
Sam. We hate to see these boys
leave our midst and can only hope
their hitch in the armed services
will be of short duration.
Through the efforts of organized
.abor, a record turnout is expected
at the polls on election day.

Zoe Recommended
By Board For
Express Drivers

Washington (LPA)-A Presid-
entail emergency board has recon-
mended a 10-cent increase for 1900
New York and New Jersey truck
drivers employed by the Railway
Express Agency.
However, the Board recommend
ed that the increase be denied for
several weeks as a penalty for a
strike which was "outside the
spirit, if not the letter, Of the Rail-
)way Labor Act"
The men, on strike from Oct. 3
to 13, returned to work through
mediation by the Board. The wage
increase recommendation also said
the company should revamp it's
contributory welfare plan.
Meanwhile, Federal Judge Mich
ael L. Igoe continued until Nov. 90
a temporary injunction prohibiting
payment of about $4,000 in bene-
fits to the men. Company repre-
sentatives, arguing that the strike
was in violation of the National
Railway Labor Act, do not want
the payments made by the Railroad
Retirement Board. Drivers have al
ready collected 100000.

Good Union Can
Help Danish
Fear of Employer

Champaign, Ill. (LPA)-A good
union can help remove the tradi-
tional fear and suspicion between
workers and employers, P. L. Sic
miller, general vice president of the
international Association of Ma
chinists, said here Oct. 81.
Speaking before a management
employe communications confer
ence at the University of Illinois
Institute Of Labor and Industrial
Relations, Siemiller declared that
"trade-union recognition and above
board, whole-hearted collective bar
gaining go a long way to improve
understanding in labor-manage-
ment relations.
"This understanding" he said,
tends to remove the fear and sus-
picion and rnistrust which have so
tragically marked the relationship
between employers and employees
ever since the economic develop
ment of this nation obliged some
Of the population to work for
others in order to earn their daily
bread"
Prof. Paul Pigors, of the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology,
told the group that Communist pro-
paganda will be powerless in this
country as long as the average per-
son realizes that our system is the
best.

More Food, Higher
Prices Predicted
For Coming Year

Washington (LPA)-The people
of the United States will eat more
next year and pay more for it, ac-
cording to Agriculture Department
experts.
In its Outlook for the National
Food Situation, released Oct. 81,
the department says that consump-
tion per person is likely to be high
er than in any of the last three
years. Supplies will be good, but
not likely to keep up with the high
demand. AS a result, prices will
rise before the middle of the year,
possibly breaking the 1948 record.
Meat will be plentiful because
there was near-record crop of
feed supplies this year. There will
be more dairy products.
People are expected to eat more
for several reasons: More people
are working now and many people
are working longer hours and max
ing more money. shortages OF our
able goods, as well as credit con-
trolls, will cut buying of those pro-
ducts, leaving more money for food.
Food for the armed forces will
not amount to more than three or
four percent of the total, unless
the world political situation takes
a sudden turn for the worse, re-
quiring a much larger army than
is planned.
Prices will rise most late next
winter and spring, the Outlook
predicts. Meat, food fats and oils
POSSIBLY excepting butter), and
rice, are expected to go high
to be eligible for price con-
.rols under the Defense Production
Act.

conferees From
Local Union No. "A
Make Their Report

Sebring, Ohio-A large turnout
was on hand at the last meeting of
Local Union a., to hear the report
of our conferees to the recent wage
conference in New York.
Conferees Clyde Jones and j. |.
Sullivan and delegate John Hamil-
ton who was present as a member
of the national pension committee,
all took the floor and made a
thorough report of what transpir-
ed. While we were a little disap-
pointed in not having a pension and
welfare plan written into the new
contract with the manufacturers,
we feel some progress has been
made toward this becoming real
ity in the near future.
The proposed change in the by
laws of our hospital plan was dis
cussed and voted on and passed.
Roll call for delegates to con-
vention will start at our next meet
ing on Nov. 13. Even if you do not
intend to run as a delegate, why
not come out and join in the dis
cussion of proposals to be adopted
by your local for consideration at
the next convention. Now is the
time to have your say and if you
have any suggestions to offer, your
local union meeting hall is the
place to speak your piece,

Census Data MAY
Mean Shift OF
Is House Seats

i Washington (LPA) = Final and
official census figures show a US
population of 15O,697,36 an in
crease of 19,028,086 since 1910.
The shifts in population will force
shifts in % House seats unless Con-
gress decides instead to increase
the House of Representatives from
its present 435 members. (Estab-
lished under the 1910 census.)
Unless Congress so acts, Cali
fornia will gain seven seats, Flor
| ida will gain two, and Maryland,
Michigan, Texas, Virginia and
Washington, one each. Pennsyl-
vania will lose three; Missouri,
New York, Oklahoma will lose two
each; Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Tennessee, will lose
one each.
When President Truman sends
the census figures to the House, he
will recommend these changes, and
the House will have Is days to act.
Unless it decides to increase its
membership, the clerk Of the House
will then notify each state COVER
nor of the number to be elected to
the 83rd Congress in 1852, and it
will be up to the various state leg
islatures to draw up the new con-
gressional district lines.
If a state losing members fails
to redistrict, all its Representatives
will be elected at large; a state
gaining members may either revise
its districts or elect the added
members at large.
Congressional leaders are cold
to the idea of enlarging the House
membership. Only states that will
lose members favor the idea.
The changes would still leave
New York first with AZ members,
despite a loss Of two; California,
now with %, would have 80, thus
being equal to Pennsylvania, which
now has 33, but would drop to 80.
New York remains the No. II
state, with 14,830,192. California
with 10,586,223 has edged out
with 10,49S,012, for
second place. California was sixth
in 194O). Illinois remains fourth,
with 8,712,176; Ohio fifth with 7,-
946,627; Texas sixth 7,714,194. !

Rubber Workers
Win Union Shop,
Woqe Increase

Cleveland (LPA)-United Rub
Der Workers has won a 12-cent
wage boost and union shop provis-
ion in contract with Firestone
Tire & Rubber Co., third major
rubber company to grant the 12-
cent raise.
The pattern was set in recent
pact with Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der. About $4,000 members were
covered in the Goodyear contract,
and another $1,000 in an agree
ment with B. F. Goodrich Co. The
Goodrich contract contained the
first union shop clause in the in
dustry.
Another principle new in the
three contracts is that of correct
ing wage inequalities for various
plants throughout the country. AS
as result, workers in some of the
plants got bigger raises than in
others.
The pay hikes were as follows:
Akron, Ohio, liz cents; Los
Angeles, Calf. liz cents; Mem
phis, Tenn, 121a cents; De s
Moines, Iowa, 1914 cents; New
Castle, Ind, 1212 cents; Fall River,
Mass, 1872 cents; Noblesville,
Ind, 1914 cents; and Pottstown,
Pa, 111a cents.

the "big four, is still negotiating.

Dispute At Royal
China Co. Reaching
The Danger. Stage

Sebring, Ohio - 1t was very
pleasing to the officers Of Local
Union 121 to see the record turn
out at our last meeting. Many re-
marked it looked like old times to
see every chair occupied as the
meeting was called to order.
The main item of interest on the
evenings agenda was the report of
our delegate to the wage confer
ence, Hazel Brown. Many were
pleased with the wage increase re-
ceived at this time, but there were
also some who felt it was not
enough to meet the increase in the
cost of living. All in all, the report
was very we'll received and Sister
Brown extended a vote of thanks
for her service.
Sister Brown in her comments
following the report lauded Pres
ident Duffy and other members of
the Executive Board for their un-
firing efforts in our behalf.
Employees of the decorating de-
partment from the Royal China Co.
were well represented at the meet
ing. The situation at the present
time at the Royal regarding liners
and stampers is reaching the dang
er stage and something must be
done soon to meet this issue. We,
are anxiously awaiting a visit of
representatives from headquarters
this matter.
All members who are on the
sick list or unemployed list must
bring their books to local once a
month to be marked. -O.C. 121

Trainmen Establish
$1,000 Student Award

Cleveland (LPA)-The Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen has
established a $1,000 annual award
for the college or university gradu-
ate student who writes the best
thesis of at least 10000 words
suggesting ways to improve the
railroad industry.
The current Miami convention of
the union directed w. P. Kennedy,
BRIT president, to set up the fund
and to choose a committee of three
to judge entries. The committee
will be made up of a progressive
rail industry leader, a rail labor
leader, and professor specialize
ing in transportation.
The resolution passed by the
convention said that by helping to
build a more prosperous railroad
industry, the goals the BRIT de-
sires to gain its members can be
more easily achieved.

Youngstown To Be
Test Tube City
For Price Index

Youngstown, o. (LPA)-The US
Labor Departments Bureau of
labor Statistics, will begin a spec
ial survey of retail prices here on
Nov. 6.
This will be the second BIS
price study here as part of its plan
to revise its Consumers Price
Index. Checkers will visit 300 rep
resentative stores each month for
six months to determine what
types of stores and in what neigh
borhoods prices should be collected
to give an accurate measure of
price changes.
The revised index, now schedul-
ed to begin the end of this year,
will give economic planners and
labor-management wage negotiat-
ors a better picture of consumer
price trends. Originally planned to
be put into effect next summer,
BIS moved the date up because of
fluctuations caused by the Korean
War and new economic controls.
The in dex measures prices
changes since 1859 in food, ap-
parel, house furnishings, rent, fuel,
utilities, and miscellaneous goods
and services purchased by lower
income groups. The revision will
reflect the price of many new con-
sumer goods, including frozen and
baby foods, home permanents, tele-
vision sets, toasters, and hospital
ization costs.

|Aufo Production
And Employment
Hit New Highs

Washington (LPA) = Employ.
ment and production in the auto
industry reached all-time peaks
during the first nine months of this
year according to a Nov. l report
of the US Department of Labor's
Bureau of Employment Security.
But the Journal of Commerce re-
ported new car sales down so per-
cent and used car sales down 70
percent since credit controls Were
passed. Walter P. Reuther, pres
ident of the United Auto Workers,
has warned that the credit restric-
tions will price lower income fam
lilies out of the market, and create
mass unemployment in the auto
industry. He condemned cutting
civilian production before military
orders were ready to take their
place.
The report of the Labor Depart
ment, however, covers the pre-con-
troll period from January through
September. 1t says 5,997,889 motor
vehicles were produced, % per-
cent increase over the 4.865,996
units produced during the same
period in 1949.
An August survey put the num-
Der of workers at 913,600, or 10
percent above the 1949 average.
Many of the increases in employ
ment occurred after the outbreak
of the Korean War, when second
shifts were added and some plants
expanded to take care of early
orders for the armed services.

Truman Orders
Rent Control In
Los Angeles Kept

Washington (LPA) = Presiden
Truman has told Housing Expedit
er Tighe Woods to hold the line OF
Los Angeles rents. Woods is under
pressure from the landlords to de
control rents in the area.
Truman told his news conference
Nov. 2 that he directed Woods tc
hold back, even though a Telegram
had been received from the Los
Angeles City Council urging the
housing chief to reverse his recent
decision against decontrol.
Truman emphatically replied to
"a Los Angeles newsman who raised
the question, that he did not think
rents should be decontrolled in that
city.
Several questions later, the Pres
ident Unexpectedly singled out the
Los Angeles reporter and volunte-
cred the comment that there had
been lot of rumors about the rent
situation in Los Angeles, and mis-
representation of Senatorial cand-
idate Helen Douglas in the press.
The press attack on Mrs. Doug
las, Truman said, extended to rum
ors that she wasn't backing admin
istration foreign policy. Praising
her for her work on the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, he en-
phasized that she is wholehearted-
ly in accord with the Presidents
foreign policy, which is more than
can be said for most California
papers.
Truman did not refer specifically
to any other candidates in the Nov.
7 elections, but said that things
are getting better all the time for
the Democrats.
On the subject of United Ma
lions action recognizing Franco
Spain, the President observed that
despite the fact the way is clear
in UN, it will be a long long time
before there's an ambassador tol
Spain from this country.

LABOR MARKET
TIGHTENS UP
IN 147 CITIES

New York (LPA)-Robert C
Goodwin, director of Defense Man
power, warned management here
Nov. 2 that one-third of the ma
tion's production centers are exper-
fencing labor shortage.
In an address to the Society fol
Advancement of NJ ana m n t,
Goodwin said "the twin impact of
booming production of civilian
goods and mounting defense ex-
penditures cut deeply into the
available labor supply in Septem-
ber." His address was based on a
report he made to Secretary of
Labor Maurice ]. Tobin earlier in
the day.
Goodwin said that unemployment
decreased in lat of the $50 cities
surveyed between July and Sept
ember and that half reported diff
ficulties filling some types of job.
Tight" areas, those with less
than 8 percent out of work, jumped
from 20 to 81 and only Wilkes
Barre and Scranton, Pa. remained
as distress" areas - unemploy-
ment of more than II percent.
Jobless total for October was l.
100000, lowest in two years. En-
ployment was at 81, ,764 600, an in
crease of $4,000 above September,
and second only to the record high
of 62,367,O00 in August.
Employers anticipate further
employment increases, Goodwin
said. He warned, however, that
their optimistic outlook was based
on increases in defense spending
and that might be tempered by the
effects of credit and material con-
trolls.

Hopes Are Dim
On Rent Control
Action This Year

Washington (LPA)-If you want
federal rent control kept in your
community after Dec. 81, you'd
better put the heat on your city
council right now.
Although President Truman has
announced he will ask Congress to
act on extending rent controls when
it returns in November, the out
look is dim. Sen. Burnet r. May
bank, chairman of the Senate Bank
ing committee, said the best he can
foreseei is short-term extension
of rent controls-perhaps for only
80 days. Present federal controls
end Dec. 81. An extension would
! bring the deadline to Jan. 81 the
'S2nd Congress does not meet until
Jan. 3. Which means that the new
Congress would have to act within
a month after it meets.
Maybank said his committee
would consider any request Pres
ident Truman makes at the short
session, "but three weeks is not
enough time to work out a rent
control law"
Rep. Brent Spence Cd, Ky.)
chairman of the House Banking
committee, also is willing to hold
hearings. But he warned that local
communities should not figure on
Congressional action this year.
The communities themselves, he
said, "should shoulder the burden
and continue controls" if they are
needed.
Under the present law, all fed
eral controls end Dec. 81 unless a
community by affirmative action of
its legislative body votes to con-
tinue controls until next June.
Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods has said he will urge Tru-
man to seek extension of federal
controls through next June, andI
eliminate the present laws "local
option" decontrol action. He mayl
also ask an amendment to permit
recontrol. Under the present law,
once an area is decontrolled moth |
ing can be done about it.
