RED CROSS ! DRIVE

COUNTY CHAIRMAN scHvLsrAp
NAMES WORKERS
This 10 Annual Membership Drive
All You Need is Heart
and Dollar"

U. l.; Schulstad of Glendale has
been appointed county chairman of
the coming annual Red Cross mem
bership drive and has been busy Of
late getting the county organized into
units 10 as to max g a thorough cam
paign and to secure At least one mem
bership in each family in the county.
In fact, this will be necessary if Dick
ey county will come. up to the allot-
ment given us by the national organ
ization.:
No doubt some people will ask the
question as to why another Red Cross
drive now that the war is over.
The answer is simple. The Red
Cross was con the job" before the
war-as we'll as during the war and
will be on the job now although the
war is over, ana to be on the Job
means financial assistance. Remem-
ber how the Red Cross handled the
serious forest fires In Minnesota; also
the terrible disaster at Halifax. These
are only two instances. Scores Of
others may be recalled.
In the present drive one-half Of
the funds received will go to the ma.
tional organisation and the other half
viii remain with the Dickey county
chapter. When the solicitor for your
particular district. calls ON you, re-
spond with your dollar membership
fee to. help this good work along, and
also subscribe for the Red Cross
masaxine. It ID a good way TO- keep
in toush with this great organization.
MI. schulstad has appointed the
following precinct cha1rmena to. over
see the work in their particular dis
trict and to secure solicitors to make

AT THE SHIPYARDS
Writer Says Hundreds of Aliens
Are Retained, While Ex-Serv-
ice Men Are Discharged

Editor The Star: The attitude of Sc
attic shipyard operators is partly respon-
sible for the disgraceful unemployment
situation among ex-soldiers and ex-
sailors.
Until few weeks ago | was regularly
employed in Seattle's largest shipbuilding
plant as a painter. An order came thru
calling upon foremen to let out percent
age of their men. | was one of those who
was told to go. am not protesting against
that.
But among those of us who were let out
were a number of ex-soldiers, while
among those retained were hundreds of
aliens.
You will find that hordes of foreign
born workmen are still employed at the
shipyards, which were built up during the
war emergency by government capital
Most of the foremen are foreign-born,
few of them are citizens, and they appar-
emily have no feeling of responsibility
toward American-born men.
Ex-soldiers and ex-sailors should be the
last to be turned out jobless-but Seattle
shipyards are not being operated that
way The Star ought to wake up these
shipbuilders, who are blindly ignoring
their responsibilities to the native-born
workers and to the men who went to war
for America. A.SL.
Editors Note-If the facts stated above
are correct, certainly shipyard manage
ment is at a low standard of American
ISM There is no valid excuse for condi-
tions portrayed by "a. S. L."
