NEWS SERVICE
VOL XUI, NO. 35
Tinffoin v i
The special something promised
for the meeting was a letter from
our president and general manag
er, Mr. R. E. Gould, .to Carl Heintz,
a president of Local No. 76, to be
read to the members. This letter
expressed appreciation for the
loyalty, skilled work and co-opera
tion of the members during the
past year. It was also stated that
conditions during the changeover
last May caused the budget to be
overdrawn. This, coupled with fall
ing china prices, did not permit
the duplication of the amount given
to the members last year, but
bonus checks to the amount of $5,
000 were sent up to the local
meeting for distribution among .the
members of No. 76. The letter end
ed by thanking the local for every
thing and wishing everyone a
Merry Christmas.
In reply to Mr. Gould’s letter we
would like to say, in part, that the
members did not expect a bonus
and to receive one was a surprise
to most of us. Again, we are not
unmindful of the extra vacation
pay received last spring which, for
most of us, more than equalled the
bonus given last Christmas.
So we want to thank Mr. Gould
for the bonus received and XqjlUml
many favors received in the past
mpd to assure him that the right
^thinking employees of Buffalo Ret
tery understand the problems that
now confront him, and that we
will continue to co-operate to the
fullest extent of our ability. Most
of us know there has been a slump
in the china ware business, and
that every effort must be made on
our part to help produce quality
ware with the minimum of loss.

BRITISH WORKERS, MANAGEMENT
TO STUDY PRODUCTION METHODS
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).
Between 200 and 800 British work
ers and management personnel will
visit the United States shortly to
study American production
methods. The tours are being ar
ranged as one of the results of the
first meeting in London of the
Anglo-American Council on Pro
ductivity.
The council, which is made up of
labor and management men from
Britain and America, has recom
mended that men from all levels
of production and from both large
and small plants in a variety of
industries, be among those to in
spect plants here.
The council has also recommend
ed that increased use be made of
industrial power and modern tools
by British industries. Of chief in
terest to the visitors will be the
high degree .of mechanization in
industry here, the use of tools and
the streamlined production methods
which make output per worker so
much higher than the output of the
British worker.
Study Groups Formed
Established under the auspices
of the Economic Cooperation Ad
ministration, the Council on Pro
ductivity has now divided itself
into committees to continue studies
of specific problems. Committees
have been formed to arrange for
the plant visits and exchange of
production techniques the main
tenance of productive plant and
power productivity measurements

tion economic information. The
full council will meet again in the.

U. The members of Local Union1
No. 218 will celebrate the event
on the evening of December 18,
with a social gathering in the
Hollywood Riviera Club.
The new Torrence Standard
Sanitary plant is rapidly attaining
production. The new potters com
posing the membership of Local'
Union No. 218 are adjusting them
selves to the processes of collec
tive bargaining as represented by
the National Brotherhood of Oper
ative Potters. This is the first ex
perience for a great portion of the
general membership in either col
lective bargaining or pottery work
and present indications point to the
establishment of a real live local
union with the full knowledge of
the great responsibility of produc
ing high grade merchandise in re
turn for wage rates comparable
with required skill.
The members of Local No. 218
extend to the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters season
al greetings and the assurance that
each and every member ku Tor
rence, California, is determined to
do their full share to bring about
the complete repeal of the Taft
Hartley Law.

Mill Workers-AFL this week is
waiting final confirmation of his
appointment as labor advisor to
the Economic Cooperation Admin
istration mission to England.
Ever since Killen resigned, as a
protest against General Douglas
MacArthur’s new anti-union polic
ies, from his post as labor advisor
to the American occupation auth
orities in Japan, his name has been
mentioned as a “possible” for the
important Marshall plan assign
ment.

a plant that will come into produc
tion three years from now?”
“We can allocate materials,”
Senator O’Mahoney pointed out. “A
public authority wouldn’t allocate
on a profit basis.”
There were more stage props in
the show put on before the com
mittee by M. E. Coyle, vice-presi
dent of General Motors, the day
previously. In addition to a long
testimony complete with pictures,
Coyle brought two automobiles
along for the Senators to look at.
The cars, a 1929 Buick and a
1948 Chevrolet, were to prove that
a car is a better buy today than it
was in 1929. Coyle compared the
Chevrolet to round steak which
has also gone up in price.
Donald Montgomery, Washington
Representative for United Auto
Workers-CIO pointed out that the
round steak went up because of
the shortage of com in the sum
mer of 1947. He asserted, however,
that there was no shortage of com
in the General Motors testimony.
Montgomery reappeared as a
witness at the end of the hearings,
at the request of the committee
chairman, Sen. Ralph Flanders
(R, Vt.). The CIO, he said would
recommend that Congress do away
with the tax cuts it introduced last
year.
Republican Senator Flanders
confessed that last year’s tax bill
had been a mistake. “It was one of
the few times, he said, “that I
voted for a bill for the sake of
party regularity. I regretted it
when I was doing it and I have re
gretted it since.”
Senator O’Mahoney summed up
the attitude of industry represen
tatives at the hearings when he
said that the corporations “want
to charge prices in inflated dollars
but compute profits at non-inflated
dollars.” The dollars the corpora
tions want to measure profits in,
he declared, “are purely fictional.”
