Keen Interest Is
Shown In Vote To
Increase Benefits
Great interest is being shown in
the voting now in progress among
members insured under the Na
tional Brotherhood of Operative
Potters Group Insurance plan
Quite a few female members hav
inquired whether the benefits pay
able under the present plan woul
be payable if they were also cover
ed by a family group plan through
the mill or factory where their hus
band may be employed.
The answer to the above questioi
is definitely yes. AU benefits pay
able under the NBOP group insur
ance plan are payable as stated in
the policy, regardless of whethei
or not the member is insured under
another plan pf insurance.
All benefits are paid directly to
the member unless the benefits are
assigned by the member to a doctor
or hospital. The new plan will pro
vide benefits up to $32.50 for mis
cellaneous hospital expense in add-1
ition to $6.5Q per day for room and
board as now provided. The sur
gical benefits will pay up to $150.00
depending on the nature of the
operation. For example: Appendec
tomy is listed at $100.00 Tonsil
lectomy is listed at $25.00 Re
moval of Kidney is listed at
$150.00. A specified amount is pay
able for every type of surgical op
eration.
Members will keep the policies
they now have. A rider will be sent
to all members listing the new
benefits. The new plan will not go
into effect unless approved by a
majority of the insured members
returning the questionnaires. All
insured members who have as yet
not returned their questionnaire
are urged to do so immediately in
order that the insuring companies
may know the sentiment of the
members.
Trouble Ahead If
Members Faile To
Attend Meetings
When it comes to short and
snappy sessions, Local Union 86
no doubt can claim the award in
this respect. The attendance at the
last meeting was very poor and
consequently not much business tc
transact.
Before it is too late we ask our
members to stop and consider just
what is in store for them the com
ing year if they continue to sit
back and let the other fellow carry
the burden. It will not be long be
fore we hear the familiar cry of
various firms ignoring our agree
ment and something should be done
about it.
Yes brothers, that is what usual
ly happens when we fail to attend
meetings regularly and we have no
one but ourselves to blame. If you
are not concerned with promoting
the interests of your trade and care
less what conditions prevail, you
do not belong in the trade.
From reports we hear about the
pottery show in Pittsburgh, it looks
like we will have steady work for
the next six months. This is very
good news as income tax time is
near at hand and when Uncle Sam
wants his money, he means it.
While speaking of our obligation
to Uncle Sam, we must not over
look our obligation to the local.
Some brothers are a little lapse in
this respect and are on the verge
of suspension. Better check your
dues book and see how you stand
before it is too late.
Bros. McShane and Connors
have accepted temporary employ
ment at the Hall China Co.
Bro. Otto Kiddey has been laid
up for some time with a broken leg
and we hope it will not be long be
fore he is able to be back on the
job. The same goes for Bro. Horace
Stoddard who has been off work.
Rumor has it Bros. Bert Woods
and John Zugula have been taking
an awful panning lately, why we
do not know. Brace up brothers,
there is always a silver lining, or
is there?
We are sorry to see so many of
our younger members being called
to the service of their country. We
hope and pray it will not be long
before they will be back with us.

NOTICE FINISHERS
All members who are being

Washington (LPA)—The United
Labor Policy Committee has com
mended President Truman on “the
enlightened viewpoint and thought
ful leadership” expressed in his
State of the Union message to Con
gress.
The committee, which has mem
bers from the AFL, CIO, Int’l
Assn, of Machinists-AFL, and Rail
Labor Executives Assn., said or
ganized labor endorsed the Pres
ident’s warning that a threat to
our democratic institutions “is a
total threat and the danger is a
common danger.”
The committee said that it urged
national unity on behalf of millions
of union members and pledged its
efforts would be “directed vigor
ously and continously to the wel
fare of all the people of this coun
try.
“Union members, who have al
ways recognized that America’s
problems and destiny are closely
bound to those of all humanity, will
be gratified by the President’s
masterly analysis of the dangers
of narrow-minded isolationism,”]
the committee declared.

For Ensuing Term
Salem, Ohio All the newly
elected officers were at their re
spective posts as President Starkey
called the meeting of Local Union
42 to order on January 8.
The first order of business was
the appointment of committees to
serve for the new year which are
as follows:
Shop Committee—Carey Jackson,
Everett Jackson, Roy Balsley,
Mary De Wan, Mae Donnalley and
John Ehrhart.
Health Committee Dan Karp,
Al Kenst and Robert Morrow.
A report was given from the
Standing Committee regarding the
finishing of the Lotus Bud and
Macy handles. The handle finish
ers are very dissatisfied with the
settlement and hope something can
be done to bring about a more
equitable agreement. I
A social Committee comprising
six members will be appointed at
our next meeting. Their duties will
be to handle all social affairs for
the ensuing year such as the an
nual picnic, Christmas party and
the lunches that will be served fol
lowing some of our meetings.
Now that the new decorating]
shop is completed, all stamping,]
lining and some of the decal work
is being done in the new building
Eventually all decorating will be
done in the new addition.
From all reports Salem China
Co. had a very nice display at the
Pittsburgh Pottery and Glass show
which was held in the William Penn
Hotel. This and the fact that much
of the ware from our stock supply
is being moved, points to a success
ful year despite the fact work is
slack at present.
At our next meeting a represent
ative from the Social Security of
fice in Youngstown will be present
to address the members and ex
plain changes in the law. Since this
is of vital importance to everyone,
all members are urged to be pre
sent. Any questions you may have
concerning benefits you will re
ceive when reaching the retiring
age will be answered.
It is good to see Brother A. J.
(Pete) Sanders back at work after
several weeks illness. —O.C. 42
Hospital Rooms
Cost More Than
Waldorf Astoria
New Haven, Conn. (LPA) If
you’re not sick when you enter a
hospital here you will be when you
get your bill. Hospital rooms are
now higher than rooms at the Wal
dorf Astoria.
The Vanguard, official publica
tion of the Connecticut State In
dustrial Union Council, has reveal
ed private rooms are as high as
$22.50 a day. Ward beds in three
New Haven hospitals range from
$10 to $13 a day while the Blue
Cross plan allows only $6 for
"hospital accommodations."
The Vanguard decries the con
stant plea of hospitals that they
are losing money. It says they en
joy tax exemptions, pay little to
their help and operate under the
general rule, “nothing for noth
ing.”

To end the AMA’s present mono

(1) Unlimited federal financial
aid to existing medical schools
which require assistance in order
to remain in operation. (2) Estab

with real authority the National

the Committee for Economic De

The Chamber opposed continu
ation of cost-of-living escalator
clauses in union contracts and auto
matic productivity pay increases
if wage controls come. In that case,
said the Chamber, Jan. 1, 1951
would be a good cut-off date for
adjusting wage inequities.
The CED offered a five-point
program as a substitute for wage
and price controls. It called for in
creased taxes, a savings program,
credit control, curtailment of non
defense spending, and direct con
trols including allocation and ra
tioning of goods. Marion B. Folsom,
CED chief, said price freezing
“takes away the dynamic function
ing of our economy and cuts into
incentive.
The NAM said direct controls
should not be invoked until all in
direct controls, such as credit and
“proper taxation" have been found
inadequate. If wage controls do
come, they should be on an area

president. He also spoke for the

Trainmen Want
'Risk Bonus* On
Long Island Road
New York (LPA)—The Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen will de
mand a “ride risk bonus” from the
Long Island Railroad unless the
company puts an extra engineer on
all trains. Edward B. Henslee,
BRT general counsel, pointed out
the BRT does not represent the en
gineers and would not benefit dir
ectly except from a safety angle.
Labeling the railroad "the most
dangerous in the country”, the
BRT spokesman denied that instal
lation of safety devices would elim
inate all the causes of accidents on
the country’s heaviest travelled!
railroad. The death toll in 1950 was
111.
Meanwhile, charges by the New
York Public Service Commission
that “absentee ownership” of the
road was behind the accidents was
angrily denounced by Walter S.
Franklin, Pennsylvania Railroad
president. Franklin said the Pennsy
allowed the LIRR to go into bank
ruptcy in 1949 because the PSC
had refused any fare increase since
1917. The PRR said it has not con
trolled the road since it went into
bankruptcy. A PSC official said the
Pennsy had a “considerable moral
responsibility” for the Long Is
land. “You can’t let a property run
down year after year without ex
pecting it to give somewhere,” he
asserted.

Washington (LPA) Organized
labor wants real price controls, and
a Wage Stabilization Board with
the power and machinery adequate
for its job.
Members of the United Labor
Policy Committee, representing all
major unions except the United
Mine Workers, told the Wage
Board Jan. 11 that unless the De
fense Production Act is changed so
that effective price controls can be
established, and unless the Board
is given the authority to make de
cisions, they will not bring any
cases before it, and may even with
draw their representatives.
In a two-hour session with mobil
ization chief Charles E. Wilson
later the same day, the labor rep
resentatives again made their stand
clear. They also urged Wilson to
create a public board to advise his
top-drawer Office of Defense Mo
bilization. It would consist of rep
resentatives from labor, manage
ment, agriculture and the public.
The union leaders took their firm
position on the price and wage sit
uation just one day after Economic
