Cambridge, Ohio - Work continues good at Plants 1 and 3 with some new workmen at benches.
With the coming of the vacation period some idle help from other shops are coming in to fill in for those taking their rest. Orders for ware are such that no definite period was set by the management for vacations.
At the meeting that some unethical remarks were made by a foreman to some girls working in the front end of Plant No. 1. This has been straightened out but a feeling that some tattletales and stool pigeons are among the people in that department. Let's stop such business and keep noses clean on our part.
The ware dressers are having their troubles on what is their work and what is warehousemen's work. Also piece work and day work conflict to cut their earnings. The shop committee has this problem to take up with the firm.
A dust condition exists in Plant No. 3 from scrap being dumped on the floor before being loaded to haul to No. 1. When the scrap dries and is run over by trucks and workmen, wind from an open door blows it over the shop. The health committee has this one to handle.
Foreign made pottery is appearing more and more in stores and is seriously cutting into the demand for our products. There is something seriously wrong in Washington that our law makers permit the pottery industry to be ruined in this country. The legislative committee of our local is very active in sending letters, telegrams and petitions to our lawmakers urging them to get busy.
