Trenton, N. J.—Although the last
meeting of Local No. 35 was well at

a night off to be present.
Vice President Wheatley was there
to give a clear and concise explanation
of the Executive Hoard's interpreta

Local Union No. 21 held a special
meeting Thursday, April 20, for the
purpose of submitting resolutions.
President James M. Duffy was pres

help the local out of a hole when a
real grievance arises.
Would like to see everyone out at
the next meeting May 4 when election
of national officers will take place.
The polls will be open from 11 a. m.

and attend the meeting in the evening
so you will be able to cast your vote
for your favorites.
Members should look over their

Grafton To Elect
Next Regular Meet
Picnic Buick Is Expected To
Park In Grafton After
June 10th
Grafton, W.
Va.—Many a sad glance
has been cast in the direction of the
glost kiln shed during the past three
week?, especially by the old timers,
due to the tearing down of the up
right kilns which have given way to
the tunnel kiln. To those on the out
side it might appear as though the
plant is being torn down completely,
but such is not the case, as work is
still much better than in 1937-38.
This fact can best be attested to by
the new cars one sees in evidence.
Ching Rupp is sporting a new Pontiac
where once he drove a Chevrolet and
Hook Clover has stepped from the
Ford class into the Dodge bracket,
while Itabe Jones traded his Ford for
Chevrolet. However, Brother Ed
Kirby takes all honors when it comes
to getting new cars. During the last
two years Ed has had eight cars in
cluding Dodges, Buicks, Grahams,
Oldsmobiles and now he has finally
ended up with a new Studebaker. So
if anyone is thinking of purchasing a
new car, I would suggest that they
consult Ed before buying and he will
give them the low down on the various
four wheelers.
Speaking of automobiles, we have
received the tickets on the car to be
given away at the picnic. We hope
that after the picnic is over some
member of this local will be sporting
a new Buick. We can't always lose.
Our meetings have been poorly at
tended, especially on the ladies' side.
We would like to see more representa
tion from the kiln departments, glost
and bisque ware rooms. The clay shop
and decorating shop, with one man
from the dipping room and two from
the kiln shed have been bearing the
load of the local for sometime. Since
several heads are better than a few,
we invite one and all to our next
meeting at which time national offi
cers will be elected, as well as a dele
gat" to the l!3i) convention. So every
one come out and support your fav
orites.
Brother Erston Weaver has left for
North Carolina where he will enter a
sanatorium for treatment. We wish
him the best of luck and a complete
recovery in a short time.
Brother W. K. Sheets has been ap
pointed representative for the Central
W. Va. Hospital Association in this
plant and anyone wanting hospital in
surance will be taken care of by con
tacting Brother Sheets.
With trout season opening in W. Va.

April 30, several local boys have
made extensive preparations for that

ting subs for their jobs so they will

Secured For Restaurant,
Hotel Workers
Columbus, O.— First quarterly re
port of James P. Walsh, Jr., superin
tendent of the division of minimum

During the three month period end
ing April 1, the division secured $!,
8(3.y( in back wages due employes in

secured for 8 employes in four laundry
establishments.
Since the first of the year, 2,932 in

the division, and their activities an
reflected in increased compliance and
payment of back wages.
Fifty-four cases have been taken to
court, 23 criminal actions being filed
and 31 civil actions for recovery of
back wages undertaken.
Increased cooperation of local courts
and officials in prosecutions and en
forcement of the minimum wage law
has been effected, largely through the
assignment of A. W. Galloway, an as
sistant Attorney General, to the divis
ion to assist in prosecutions.
Mrs. Marie Amarose, Columbus, op
erator of a chain of dry cleaning es
tablishments in a number of cities
throughout the state, was found guilty
in Dayton police court of failing to
pay the minimum wage required by
law, and was fined $100.
Two of four employers haled into
municipal court at Fostoria for vio
lations of the minimum wage law en
tered pleas of guilty, Superintendent
Walsh reports. Sentence of the two
was deferred until May 11, when the
charges against the other two will be
heard by Judge William Emmert.

Court Gives Martin's Union

Detroit, Mich.—The Michigan Su

sustaining the verdict of Circuit Judge
DeWitt H. Merriam which gave con

The sustaining decision once again
conclusively demonstrates that the

Martin, has acted legally and in tin
best interests of .the membership.
The Circuit Court decision case was
handed down in February by Judge
Merriam after a revolt of the mem

Communist group contested the le

them into oblivion, but lost their plea.

Sanitary Plants
Working Steadily
New Castle Workers Urge
Manufacturers Bargain
Collectively
New
Castle, Pa.—With all of the
sanitary shops moving every piece of
ware they are able to produce, it would
seem it is time the workers received a
raise in wages. The selling price is
better and the men should profit by
the building boom which is keeping
the various plants busy.
We hear that the impending war
might bring harm to sanitary, but the
manufacturers in this branch of the
industry has encountered plenty of
war and should not fear a little more.
Here is an industry with no foreign
competition and extremely little com
petition from firms using clay substi
tutes. The cooperation of the skilled
workmen is given freely to do almost
the impossible in pronouncing a high
quality ware and yet we are not bene
fiting.
A bonus was once paid for improv
ing the ware and this system must
have paid dividends because great
strides have been made in the past ten
years, but there are no more bonuses.
We feel more consideration should
be given the men on the producing
end. The records in our shop speaks
for itself. The caster's record of to
day compared with that of eight or
nine years ago tells a story of loyal
ity and service.
Where would the sanitary industry
be if the Brotherhood had not organ
ized the various shops in Trenton,
Perth Amboy, Camden, Ford City,
Mannington, Abingdon, Evansville and
New Castle? When.will the manufac
turers meet us collectively and try to
establish

Local Union No. 133 enjoyed an
other one of those grand parties at
the country club. An excellent chicken
supper, followed by a five hundred
party and dance was given the 100 per
cent approval of the wives and girl
friends. Geno Veri, toastmaster, must
be given much of the credit for the
success of the evening.
The songs and music were enjoyed
by everyone. Everyone joined in to
sing Kate Smith's "God Bless Amer
ica" as if it were not new to them.
Joe Cunningham, chairman of the
committee, did an excellent job. He
and his committee have the thanks of
every member of Local 133.
Another of those fine fish fries given
by the bowling team is scheduled for
Saturday night. We would certainly
welcome the officials at this party.
Our next meeting will be held in the
new Trades Council hall at Croton and
Washington streets. The new shop
cards can be secured from the Bhop
collector for $1.20 for. April, May and
June. This will be a great help to the
financial secretary. Let's do our part.

Good Weather Aid
To

Attendance
The excellent weather has been a
great aid to Local Union No. 138. The
attendance has increased nicely while
the payment of dues has jumped ac
cordingly. Although the brothers seem
to be taking their financial obligations
seriously on the whole, we did have
three members we were forced to sus
pend last meeting night.
It would certainly be appreciated if
those brothers who can would drop
in to see Ed. Davis at the home of his
son Earl, 817 Lincoln avenue. Brother
Ed. is a former member of Local 9 and
one of the oldest members of the
Brotherhood.
Don't forget next Thursday night,
brothers. We vote for our national
officers at that time. Let's turn out
strong to support the men believe
will continue to lead the Brotherhood
to great heights.
This is also the last meeting to turn
in resolutions. We are hoping to see
every brother present, Thursday, May
4.—O. C. 138.
