Recently Organized West
Coast Receives Wage In
crease In First Pact
ESTABLISHED FIRM
Manufacturers oi Art And
China Ware For Past
Fifty-Two Years
Employes of the J. A. Bauer Pot
tery Company of Los Angeles have a
signed contract with the firm calling
for substantial wage increases and im
proved working arrangements.
The contract was signed June 5 and
will expire on that date in 1942. Both
the Brotherhood members and the
firm report satisfaction with the terms
of the agreement.
It has long been the aim of the
Brotherhood to organize the employes
of this company, but it was not until
last month, after repeated attempts
had failed, that the workers realized
the benefits to be derived from af
filiation with the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters and formed Lo
cal Union No. 18G.
Second Vice President Frank Hull
held many meetings with the work
ers and firm officials before returning
to Headquarters. Final negotiations
were handled by George Pace of Local
Union No. 113, an active Brotherhood
representative in the Los Angeles
district. Mr. Pace is a kilnhand em
ployed at the Wallace China Co.
The J. A. Bauer Company is a well
established firm in the art and china
ware fields, having been in operation
the past 52 years.
Reports reaching this office from
California state between 100 and 150
members make up the roll of the new
west coast local which promises to be
an extremely active unit in the Broth
erhood according to all indications.
Officials have been chosen by the
local to guide the young organization
through its first months. Thomas
Poulton has been named president,
James Johnson will take over the du
ties of recording secretary, Keathley
Gentry has been chosen financial sec
retary, Lemuel H. Becklhymer will see
that the funds are in order as treas
urer, while Frank Minnie was elected
vice president.
The membership is certain that the
local will be a successful one and a
strong force in the locality. The
Brotherhood welcomes Local Union
No. 18(i into the fold and will be glad
to give the members all the assistance
possible in straightening out difficul
ties which may arise in any smooth
running organization.
In accordance with the wishes of
recent conventions, the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters con
tinues its organizational drive along
all fronts. The addition of Local
Union No. 18(5 is the result of a per
severing policy which will soon see
all clay workers members of the or
ganization.
Labor Will Hold
Gains, Prediction
Of Senator Mead
Urges Fullest Use of Arbi
tration To Prevent
Work Stoppage
Buffalo, N. Y. (1LNS).—Labor will
do its full duty in the present emer
gency and there will be rto permanent
loss of its gains, Senator James M.
Mead of New York, told the Switch
men's Union of North America in con
vention here.
"Labor is charged with a severe and
taxing duty," Mead said. "It will
meet the demands which are now
thrust upon it, and it will carry out
its responsibility in this crisis be
cause labor has an all-important stake
in a victory over totalitarianism."
Gains Seen Kept
Senator Mead referred to the suc
cess of the system of conciliation and
mediation under the Railway Labor
Act and declared that it "would be a
boon to the nation in this defense cri
sis today if similar mediation machin
ery were available to all elements and
factions of labor in the country."
Bauer Pottery Company, Los Angeles
Signs Contract With New Local 186
Discussing the future, Mead said:
"There will be no permanent black
out of labor's well-established gains.
There will be further rewards to com
pensate for the sacrifices which are
now demanded. In this struggle be
tween democracy and despotism, we
cannot afford to take halfway, half
hearted measures. We must accept
our individual and appointed responsi
bilities in the spirit of true American
ism.
"But we will make it clear that we
are not permanently surrendering our
hard-fought economic or social gains

Trenton's Scammell
Co. Is Expanding
Starts Construction On New
Building While No. 3 Is
Being Improved
Trenton, N. J.—All plants here are
working to their fullest capacity but
it has been rumored that the Scam
mell shop would cease work on July
3 until the 15 to give the employes an
opportunity to have their long-plan
ned vacations.
The Scammell China Company is
spending a considerable sum of money
at the No. 3 plant. They are build
ing a new circular tunnel kiln and are
having their old kiln sheds modern
ized. They have made them all two
story buildings, with construction
started on another large building. It
will probably be some time before
everything is completed as the man
agement has been held up on account
of shortage of structural steel.
No. 3 plant has been producing all
the blue ware, but, after the improve
ments are completed, the firm will
make all their Lamberton ware at
this plant and the employes on the
Lamberton side will be moved to No.
3 plant. We look for this change to
take place early in the fall or sooner.
A large delegation from No. 35 will
attend No. 45's picnic to be held this
Saturday at Plagg's Grove. Oh boy,
what roast beef sandwiches my pal
ate can hardly wait. No. 49 char
tered three busses to Coney Island
last Sunday and a good time was en
joyed by all.
The Lamberton quoits team will
play a match game with the Tren
ton K. of P. team this week. Results
in next week's paper. The Scammell
Softball team is tied for first place
in the City Industrial League which
is quite a feat owing to the class of
ball played by this league. Perhaps
a game can be arranged with some
outside pottery club especially in the
Ohio district. If anyone is interested
they should get in touch with Bill
Ahrens at this plant.
The local has been having large
turnouts and 1 hope it continues as
we sure have interesting meetings
with the discussions getting torrid.
One thing we must bear in mind is
not to drag our meetings out, put
snap and vigor behind them and get
the business through in quick order,
so we can get out these nice summer
evenings. I know if this is done the
members will feel more like attending
the meetings.
Brother Boots Mellor caught a
snapping turtle on the highway. He
put it in his cellar to fatten up to
feed the Lamberton clay shop em
ployes this fall.
Brother Barney Leese has severed
his connections with the firm, so he
will have more time to attend his
tavern business.
Many of our members are not re
ceiving this paper. All we ask is
that you get in touch with James
Tuccillo or George Newbon and give
them your name and address.
Brother Jack Briel who had the
pleasure of winning five hundred dol
lars at a drawing last spring has
bought a lot on the Bordentown road
and is having a fine bungalow erected.
Brother Wilson, liner at our plant,
has accepted a position with the Wal
lace China Company of Huntington
Park, Calif. Good luck to you, Pele
can.
We think you will be like the sunny
climate of California. Just be sure to
look up a few of the movie beauties
and let us know about them espe

Nearly 7 Million
Shown On Garment
Workers' '40 Report
Half Million Is Spent For
Benefits And Charities
By L. G. W. U.
New York City (ILNS).—The an
nual financial report of the Interna
tional Ladies' Garment Workers'
Union, made public at Forest Park,
Pa., by David Dubinsky, president,
reveals that the union received near
ly $7,000,000 last year. Of this, near
ly $500,000 was spent for charities
and for union benefits. Another
$200,000 went for recreation and edu
cational activities.
The report, one of the most detail
ed compiled by any labor organiza
tion, showed that the parent union
and its local branches throughout the
United States and Canada had taken
in $6,932,171 and spent $5,995,384, giv
ing the union an operating surplus of
$93(3,787 for 1940.
Others Urged to Follow
President Dubinsky urged that all
unions follow the lead of the I. L. G.
W. U. in issuing public statements
of their finances. Such a practice
would make officers more careful
about the way they spent union funds,
would increase public respect for or
ganized labor and would end pressure
for government regulation of union
affairs, he said.
The I. L. G. W. N.'s effort to in
sure the re-election of President
Roosevelt and candidates favorable
to the New Deal last Autumn cost
$145,603, according to Dubinsky's re
port. The union leader emphasized
that "not one nickel" had been con
tributed to the Democratic party in
connection with this effort. The
American Labor party and $92,048
and most of the rest went to independ
ent and labor committees supporting
the President.
Communigts Fought
Included in the,. American Labcr
party expenditure was an outlay of
$25,000 by the union to help the anti
Communist forces retain control of
the party's New York state organiza
tion in the primary contest of April,
1940.
"Our union is vitally interested in
keeping Communists from capturing
the A. L. P.," Dubinsky said. "We
consider the spending of $25,000 to
prevent the Communist stooges Mor
ris Watson and Eugene Connelly tak
ing over the party amply justified."
Costs of Strikes Down
The report, which was submitted to
the New York general executive board
of thie union at a week-end meeting

U. S. Troops Break' CIO Plane Strike
Roosevelt Orders Strikers Be Drafted
Washington, 0. C.—Faced by a sud-1 if they go on strike.
den outbreak of CIO outlaw strikes
bearing all the earmarks of an incipi
ent Communist revolution, President
Roosevelt and Congress cracked down
with the most drastic action ever
taken by this nation in peace time to
assure uninterrupted industrial pro
duction. Chief developments were:
1—The President ordered U. S.
Army troops to break the strike call
ed by the CIO against the North
American Aviation Company at Los
Angeles. More than 2,500 soldiers
marched in with fixed bayonets, the
Government took over the plant and
picket lines were dispersed. Attor
ney General Jackson branded the
strike of Communist origin and even
CIO leaders admitted this fact.
2—On instructions from the Presi
dent, draft regulations were changed
so that workers previously placed in
deferred classifications because of
their essential defense jobs may be
drafted into the service immediately
The political pot is boiling in No.

ers and we are going to get behind
them and do our best. Brother
George Salsberry is aspiring for the
City Treasurer position and Brother
John Hill for Councilman-at-large. If
we all do our best we can put these

3—The House of Representatives
adopted an amendment to the ten-bil
lion-dollar Army appropriation bill
under which compensation from these
funds will be denied to any person,
firm or corporation refusing to com
ply with the recommendations of the
National Defense Mediation Board.
4—Senate leaders gave the green
light to the Connally Bill which would
empower the President to take over on
behalf of the Government any defense
plant shut down by a strike or lock
out.
The North American Aviation strike
came after the President was defied
by CIO strikers in the West Coast
lumber industry, who turned a deaf
ear even to appeals from CIO Presi
dent Phil Murray that they go back
to work and let the Defense Media
tion Board settle their dispute. O. M.

Central Labor Union Putting
On Intensified Drive In
All Industries
Perth Amboy, N. J—Hot weather
and plenty of rain did not stop mem
bers of Local Union No. from show
ing their faces at the meeting Fri
day, June 13. No, not even the fact
that it was suppose to !e an unlucky
day.
Nomination of officers was held and
President Louis Turkus and other of
ficers now serving were again nomi
nated. Nomination and election will
be held at the June 27 meeting.
It was reported that Central Labor
Union President Thomas Kelly, who is
also A. F. of L. organizer in this lo
cality, is putting on an intensified
campaign to organize various indus
tries here. Brother
Kelly
is chiefly
interested in organizing labor, not for
the sake of signing them up, but to
see that they are a credit to the in
dustry which they serve.
Recently one of the terracotta com
panies here took it upon themselves
to get some outside organizers to sign
the labor up in their -hop, knowing
full well that the Central Labor Union
in this locality has been endeavoring
to get these men in line for some
time. It is about time the officials on
the top in the A. F. of L. put a stop
to allowing some of these fly-by
night organizers put on a bargain
sale as bait to both employer and em
ploye. This leads to only one thing
and that is dissatisfaction and a bad
name foi~ labor.
Brother Hugh Church was chosen
to represent this local at the coming
convention in Atlantic City and prob
ably some of our members will visit
the convention, as a number of them
will bfc having their vacation.

A Law On Strikes?
20th Century Fund Says
Real Solution Is
Mediation
(Following is a summary of a
comprehensive survey conducted
by The Twentieth Century Fund on
the so-called strike problem. This
survey, is complete in partial, de
veloped conclusions which are of
great interest to all of organized
labor):
Laws to forbid strikes in defense
industries are being demanded by
many persons. Totalitarian countries
absolutely forbid strikes and lockouts
practically speaking, workers have lit
tle or no chance to express their griev
ances. This amounts to forced labor
or industrial slavery.
Compulsory arbitration is usually
suggested to accompany proposals for
outlawing strikes in this country. Un
der this arrangement strikes and
lockouts would be forbidden by law
and workers and management would
be required to submit their differences
to arbitration by a public agency. Both
sides would be compelled to accept the
award of the arbitrator, no matter
what it might turn out to be.
Australia has had a compulsory ar
bitration statute since 1904. Strikes
extending into two or more states are
forbidden, and disputes must be sub
mitted to the Commonwealth Court of
Arbitration. Most of the states have
similar laws to govern disputes with
in a single state. However, the Fund
research staff finds that Australia for
the past twenty-five years "has had
far more strikes relative to her popu
lation than either the United States or
Great Britain. While many of these
strikes were clearly illegal, penalties
have seldom been imposed on the
strikers."
Canada has had since 1907 an Act
requiring a period of investigation by
a special board before strikes may be
called in the mining and public utilty
industries. During the period of 1907
to 1925, the research staff reports
"there were 425 unlawful strikes in
which the requirements of the Act
were simply ignored. Any at
tempt to enforce this section would
have alienated all union support and
would probably have brought a quick
repeal of the Act."
In Great Britain more than one and
a half million munitions workers took
part in illegal strikes after the gov
ernment attempted to prohibit strikes

Tuberculosis Can't
Be Wiped Out Until
Slums' Elimination
Decent Housing Absolutely
Vital To Health/ Declares
USHA Administrator
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—The
campaign to stamp out tuberculosis
in this country by 1960, which has
been undertaken by a large group of
associations, cannot succeed unless in
creasingly greater emphasis is placed
on adequate housing for low-income
families—chief victims of the disease
Nathan Straus, administrator of the
United States Housing Authority, said
here.
"Tuberculosis and bad housing go
hand in hand," Straus said, "and we
fail if we attempt to solve the prob
lem without giving proper attention to
the other.
"This year it is estimated that 50,
000 Americans will die of tuberculo
sis. This should weigh heavily on the
conscience of the nation since tubercu
losis is both preventable and curable.
"The cost of tuberculosis not only
in the dollars and cents we spend in
our efforts to stamp it out, but in
terms of lost man power, is enormous.
Tuberculosis is the leading disease
cause of death among people between
the ages of 15 and 45, the age when
we count on them to produce and do
most.
Decent Housing Vital
"Survey after survey has shown the
intimate relationship between this
disease and bad housing," continued
Straus.
"Tuberculosis must be fought with
decent houses as well as hospitals,
with slum clearance as well as with
Christmas seals.
4In
dense popula
tions, which crowd people to
gether amid insanitary surroundings,
tuberculosis has its best opportunity
to spread from person to person.
Slum clearance and sanitary housing
will help to eliminate it.' This quota
tion is from 'Tuberculosis, Its Nature
and Control,' recently published by the
Pennsylvania Department of Health.
It expresses an idea that has been rec
ognized ever since the 1880's, when
Robert Koch shook the scientfic world
by his discovery of the tubercle bacil
lus.
"But until the last few years the
fight against tuberculosis centered
around the use of the x-ray and the
tuberculin test in diagnosis, proper
disposal of sputum, treatment through
rest and proper diet, sunlight, and
lung collapse, etc. While these were
practical weapons in the anti-tuber
culosis arsenal, the rehousing of slum

Sports Fans Enjoy
Full Day At Idora
K. O.' WEATHERMAN ABSORBS SOAKING AS POT
TERS JAM IDORA PARK FOR FULL DAY OF FUN,
ATHLETICS AND POTATO SALAD
Battling desperately from the opening bell until midnight
when a majority of the 30,000 Brotherhood members and their
friends decided to call it a day, Potters Picnic scored his most out
standing victory over "K. O." Weatherman in the past four years
last Saturday.
"K. O." had most impressive workouts the two days preced
ing the annual outing, raining thunderous blows at his sparring
partners while displaying lightening speed, but when it came time
for the big test, it was Potters Picnic who showed the speed with
a fast moving program and the stamina to stick to the finish.
Minerva Cops Ball Game
As Hitler Takes Terrific
Lambasting
Sports fans enjoyed a full day last
Saturday when they had a continuous
show at the Potters Preparedness
Picnic. Starting at 1 o'clock with the
track events and continuing through
the ball game, Gus Q. Fan had to
rush dinner so he could hurry back to
the ball park for the fights.
Once again the hit of the afternoon
events was the marksmanship dis
played by the so-called weaker sex.
A huge dummy of Hitler, complete
with uniform and medals, took a ter
rific thumping from the red, white
and blue rolling pins slung with vigor
and aim by more than 100 women. It
would take all the king's horses and
practically all of his men to ever put
Hitler back together again, but why
should they?
By the time those With the best
aim were taking their second shot at
der fuehrer, he was past repair with
the ball bat used during the prelimi
nary heaves, so rope was needed to
hold him all in one piece.
Take it from one who was there,
never argue around a kitchen with
Lillian Caldwell, Florence Graham or
Evelyn Hooks, the winers.

No. 174 congregated for its monthly

After battling pro and con, it was

Badly beaten at close range after a threatening first round

back to jab a few hard rights at a dis
tance of 30 or 40 miles from the park
—but the crowd was betting heavily
against him and continued to jam

Idora. "K. O." landed but one hard
punch after his early flurry—about
the fifth inning of the ball game, in
terrupting the contest for some five
minutes.
The crowd was a record-breaker
tot
both the Potters annual outing and
Idora Park, passing last year's Gold
en Anniversary Picnic by an easy
5,000, according to park officials. All
the huge parking lots, not only the
park's but those privately owned in
the vicinity, were tightly packed
shortly after 1 o'clock.
At three the grandstand and bleach
ers were filled for the ball game, the
theater was jammed to view the tap
dancing contests and bathing beauty
show, the dance hall swayed with the
rythm of more dancing feet than it
had ever seen before and it was still
practically impossible to walk the
midway or shoulder a path to one of
the rides or concession stands.
That everyone had one of the most
enjoyable days they had ever experi
enced goes without saying. All
events were run off smoothly, without
fuss and right on fime. Kefferts con
tinue come from all sides that the
Preparedness Day Picnic was easily'
the best of the seventeen.
When Committeeman Harry Pode
wels, wh6 had a heavy day announc
ing all events, welcomed the picknick
ers in the name of the Brotherhood
and the committee at 10:45 a. m., and
called their attention to the start of
the baby show, approximately 18,000
were already in the park.
The baby show, with well over 100
entrants, was won by a real picnic
baby. Vondra Lyne Finley was born
on Picnic Day, 1940, making her one
year old with the exception of one
"day. She is th? daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William C. Finley, Jr., of
216 West Third Street, this city. Mr.
Finley is employed in the office of the
Homer Laughlin China Co. In addi
tion to a beautiful loving cup, Miss
Finley received fifteen dollars and one
of the decorated baby sets that were
given to all entrants.
Second place money, a check for ten
dollars, was taken by Sebring's six
month-old Deanna June Hoffmeyer,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Merwin
Hoffmeyer, 347 West Virginia Ave.
Mr. Hoffmeyer is a member of Local
Union N'o. 44. Gilbert Wayne Simp
son, cute 16-month husky of Newell
took down third place and five dollars.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gil
bert Simpson. Mr. Simpson is em
ployed by Crook's, local furniture
company.
The judges, three registered nurses
from the staff of St. Elizabeth's Hos
pitai in Youngstown, stated the job of
choosing three winners from among
such a galaxy of beautiful babies was
much worse than the State Board ex
amination.
Twin boys, Johnny and Jimmy Hy
der, giving off a strong Bowery per
fume with their checked suits and der
bies, were judged best in the tap
dancing contest for children 4 to 8.
The five-year-olds live at 1027 Hazel
Street, East Liverpool, and are the
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hyder.
Another team won the top prize in the
older age group. Joe and Newanna
Baker of Canonsburg displaying
plenty of fancy footwork to cop the
decision.
Jackie Lou Welsh, five-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Welsh of Salem took second place in
the lower age group. Second place
in the older division went to Delores
Cubberly, 9, East Third Street, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar D. Cub
berly. Show money went to Patricia
Jean Parsons, 9, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Parsons, 1007 Dresden
Avenue, this city.
Believing the only sour note to past
picnics was watching the little girls
who did not win one of the beautiful
dolls in the bathing beauty contest
walk aimlessly around the stage with
tears in their eyes, the committee this
year decided upon a surprise and or
