The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-10-10

We have been hearing lately
from an anonymous local radio
speaker of Lodge 1140 A. F.
Of L. machinists about the rad
icalism" of the c. |. o. and its
leaders.
Albert Ruddy, head of the
American Federation of Labor
Carpenters Union in Cleveland
was found guilty last weekend
of extorting large sums Of
money from employers by
threats Of provoking strikes and
work stoppages. He faces a 20
years Jail term.
He follows a long list Of
American Federation of Labor
racketeers to Jail.
Will the Cumberland Yehu-
di, who is so ashamed of re-
vealing his own name, try and
give this matter his attention in
his next Bedtime Stories"
program?
We would like him to try
and produce the names of any
c. |. o. leaders convicted on
similar charges!

racketeers who are meeting with
their Just deserts when he was
sentenced this week to serve ten

Scalise's conviction and sentence
OF four and one-half years in jail

CAFE
n I " :

In answer TO those workers who
are cnquiring which Cafe work
ers belong to the Union we re-
port that all Union members in
the Cafe can be identified by the
Union button on their lapels.
Keep asking for Union service
in the Cafe as the few holdouts
are becoming more ashamed of
themselves each day.
Yes, fellow members. Blanche
Hose and Mdie White worked in
the Cafe during the recent stop
page. And these hourly paid
workers were supposed to be
Union girls! +,
Our friend Bossworm told two
Union men that no hourly paid
workers would remain in the
Cafe during the stoppage. Well.
we wonder what Helen Kershun,
Ethel Davis and Vallie Love
were supposed to be doing?
Looks like another of Bossy's
tall tales.
Working in the Cafe during the
close down must have been very
easy because Anna Belle Cooper
and Francis Kershun managed
to get through. In normal times
they have great difficulty.
Bossworm must be losing his
grip. Couldn't bui1doze the
Union workers this time and had
to recruit some of the plant
workers to do the cafe work.
Remember the Cafe Is open
for business Union brothers and
sisters. You will really enjoy
the Union service. especially on
cat-eye shift where all 100 per
cent Union men are working.
Wonder how come that Anna
Belle hasn't come back 10 work
since the stoppage ended. Is Il
a guilty conscience or is she
just afraid? Nobody will hurt
her. at least as far as we Union
people are concerned. II its con-
science. though. she will have to
live with It.
And it will be wedding bells

good Union chef of cat-eye. Yes.

ELEVEN-YEAR OLD LAD
MAKES $4,000 HAUL

Jewelry, valued at $4,000, which
was stolen from the home of Magis-
trate Michael j. Birmingham, in Dun
dalk, was recovered by the Balti-
more county police. Officers James
Perry and Frederick Rosling, of the
Dundalk police, thought an eleven
year old boy was spending too much
money on things children of that age
like to have.
The youngster was questioned and
then his fifteen year old brother was
brought in to be questioned. The boys
told how they entered the house, took
the Jewelry, then stayed in the Biz
mingham home for several hours play
ing billiards and smoking cigars.
The only article still missing is a
$3.50 watch which the boys told the
officers they hid in the bed of the
trolley tracks in Dundalk. The Magis-
trate is somewhat grieved over the
loss of the expensive timepiece but
the policemen are doing everything
but tearing up the tracks in an eff
fort to find it.
