attended the party which our
Entertainment Committee gave
last Saturday night at the Union
Hall and spent a very enjoyable
time.
In fact / am sorry that ! have

not have done so had known

Accident
This is the season OF illness and
accidents to our good members 1t
seems. Recently our esteemed
Local President Brother Mortz-
feldt lost part OF his thumb in
a painful accident. Later men,
Der in the same Department had a
similar accident.
Secretary Cecil Grayson has
been very i'll. Our good Brother
Earl wilkins is in bed with Il
wrenched back as also is Chester
Smith.
II seems to me from my obSer.
vatinn ~ tho sick. the lamo and
the hurt that the company is lay
ing on so much work that the
men are Just about at the break
ing point.
Sailing
There are lots of grievances at
the plant and the Company Is
just keeping on stalling them off
with promises.
Now suppose If any drastic
action takes place we will be told
how unreasonable We are. that we
should sit down around the table
and listen for month after month
to talk without action.
Negotiating
do want to pay another tri-
butte to Local 26 Negotiating Com
mittec. They have the patience
OF that man We read about in
the Bible. In fact they have far
more patience than a majority OF
us members have!
Now. what is the Company
planning to do? For more than
year our Committee has sat
down and negotiated.
Still there is no contract.
Bad Faith
Is the management acting in
good faith? Many OF us have
grave doubts about 1t.
But let me say one thing. We
don't want to read any stun in
the local papers after our dissatis-
faction has passed the breaking
point. We would like to have
read something about IL in the
past year OF negotiations. We
are sick and tired of this con-
tinual stalling. The time for a
contract is NOW! And we in
tend TO get one.

Hitler Can't Win Long War,
Petroleum Expert Says
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, May 23.-Dr. Gus
tav Egloff, an authority on petro-
leum and its products, said in an
interview yesterday, Hitler cannot
win if the allies prolong the war"
That was true, he declared, "if
for no other season than the com.
bination of mechanized equipment
and the question of a dependable
oil supply.
For Hitler has only a limited
amount Of storage facilities and
what he has is obsolete"
DR.. Egloff, a Chicagoan, Is scien-
tif1c and technical director for the
International Petroleum Exposition.
German Army success, as demon
strated in the past few weeks, de.
pends almost entirely on mobility,
with gasoline-eating equipment in
the air and on the ground" he con-
tinued.
AT the present rate Of operation,
Germany must be using four times
as much petroleum, particularly
gasoline, as in peacetime. It is
almost certain that her petroleum
requirements are at least 160, 1000 900
barrels a year, compared with 53,-
100000 barrels before the war be-
gan. Their sources of supply
are limited"
