Paulding Co. Must
(Continued From Page One)
Barnet stated he was not empowered
to sign a contract without first talking
the matter over with heads of the firm.
The Brotherhood representatives were
there with full authority to negotiate
a contract and were not'backward in
asserting that the whole matter look
ed like another stall.
Mr. Myers seemed to agree with
this statement as he instructed Mr.
Barnet to take the Brotherhood prop
ositions, which were finally discussed,
to the directors of the Paulding com
pany for a reply within two weeks.
He informed Mr. Barnet that the com
pany had had sufficient time and op
portunity to decide these questions
while insisting that a two-week period
was sufficient time in which to make
a final decision.
Following are the matters the local
wishes adjusted: a restoration of the
wage scale that was in effect May 1,
1937 satisfactory adjustment of the
seniority clause a continuation of the
closed shop clause necessary to elim
inate any trace of a company union
which now exists.
Since the meeting of January 27,
when the company representative took
the Labor Hoard order to the di
rectors' meeting, a voluntary five per
cent increase was granted the em
ployes, Naturally this increase in
wages is helpful, but as Vice Presi
dent Wheatley stated, it was a poor
gesture on the part of the firm after
agreeing that a collective bargaining
conference would be held to regulate
any wage change. It was merely a
grandstand play.
The members of Local 158 are hope
ful of regaining the former wage
scale at least and do not intend to be
satisfied with a paltry five per cent,
which, it is felt, was granted only to
keep organization from the plant. The
members feel the Brotherhood is re
sponsible for the increase, so are de
termined to stand behind the repre
sentatives until justice is accorded in
the matter of collective bargaining.
We hope a solution of the problem will
be had no later than two weeks from
this date.
The company has always thrown the
spotlight on our situation as a juris
dictional dispute between Local 1 fS of
the N. B. of O. P. and Local BlOfitl,
International Brotherhood of Fleet ri
cal Workers. There has never existed
any dispute between the two organ
izations.
Every member is expected to attend
the next meeting in order to hear a
full report of the last conference and
also to vote in the primary election
national officials.
Members working nights or unable
to attend the meeting will please con
tact President Durant or other local
officers for full information.

Makes Correction
Falsely Accuses a Kilnhand
For Dark Deeds of
Liner
Minerva, 0.—Local .Union No. 70
has the habit of reporting every week
now, but your O. C. is in wrong and
writes this as a corrective measure.
In last meeting's report we paid di
rect attention to the two non-union
lecorating kilnmen. Many accusations
of last week against one of these men,
trying to give an illegal reason for not
being a dues paying member, should
have been aimed at one of the two
non-union liners now employed, rather
than at the kilnmen. We hope this
orrection is understood as we have
no desire to place anyone in a false
ight.
In regard to opening the polls next
Friday for election, we feel sure they
will be open from 11 a. m. to at least
5:30 p. in. This gives all the night
workers a chance to cast their vote
lay workers please attend local and
vote. The officials in charge have not
been named as yet.
All members be sure and get any
resolutions you may have into the
ommittee very shortly, as May 1 is
the deadline for the printed program.
I found an interesting item in Forum
and copied it for ypu readers of the
Herald.
"Americans are a queer people, they
don't give a damn all the world
critizes them, they don't give a damn.
Foreign visitors come and write them
up, they don't give a damn. They are
told they have no art, no literature,
and no soul. They never budge. Mor
alists cry over them. Criminologists
dissect them writers shout epigrams
at them prophets foretell the end of
them. They never move.
Seventeen brilliant books analyze
them each month they don't read
them. The Europeans threaten to unite
against them they don't mind. Equa
torial Africa is dead sour on them.
They don't even know it. The Chinese
look on them as full of Oriental cun
ning the English accuse them of
British stupidity the Scotch accuse
them of being close fisted the Italians
say they are liars the French think
their morals are loose the Bolshevists
accuse them of communism.
But that's all right. The Americans
don't give a damn. Don't need to—
never did need to—that's their sal
vation." Isn't it so.—O. C. 70.
