Safety First

Say spinners. guess who Il
the Safety First Councilman fol
our Department." No. you're
wrongl He isn't even an employs
Of our own section.
T. Spangler, foreman Of the
Bobbin Stores has been named.
Now, ! ask you, what does thu,
fellow know. or how can he know
about our machines and heallt
hazards in Om department since
he isn't even employed here.
II looks like this Safety First
business at the Celanese is run
along the monopoly lines similar
to the Cafeteria, as 1t seems you
have to be a foreman before you
can have any say about Safety
First.
NOTE: Keep watching this col
umn for more Safety First notes.
Steady Shift Schedule
There has been quite a lot of
talk about a steady shift sched-
ule in the Spinning Depart
mcnt" in the last several weeks.
II seems the one reason
change is wanted Is that any
one shift tcven cat eyel. Is bet
ter than the plan Of working
all three shifts Us now In effect.
Another reason given Is that
workers in Spinning for ten
years or more who have never
been given the offer of q bet
ter job have nothing 10 look
forward 10 only regular grind
of all three shifts In as many
weeks.
Let Us Decide
The plan that / think should be
followed is TO hold an election by
ballot to find out If the workers
desire a change. 1T could be
worked in on the same ballot when
the shop chairman Is elected.l
Then, If carried. ii should be put
into effect at once strictly accord
ing to seniority. Oldest workers to
Z a. m. to p. m. next Oldest get
3 p. m. to II p. m. and the young
est in seniority on cat-eye. Work
this way for one month and then
give individuals who want TO trade
TO another shift a chance TO con-
tact an agreeable shift trader.
Let this be done for one month
and then at the end of a total OF
six months we could hold another
election to determine whether the
plan should be made permanent
or a return should be made to the
present system OF three shifts in
three weeks.

BY ROBERT McSHANE

By ROBERT McSHANE
CReleased by Western Newspaper Union.
THOUGH the New York Yankees
L grasp on the American league
pennant seemingly is as tight as
ever, the remaining clubs Of the cir
cult have by no means concede|
them the 1910 championship.
Like Old Man River. the Yanks
probably will keep right on rollin'
along. Managers of the other seven
teams in the junior circuit doubt.
lessly are making big medicine, but
most of it comes under the head OF
wishful thinking.
The Cleveland Indians, for In.
stance, haven't as yet cried uncle. .
Manager Oscar Witt isn't bashful in
intimating that the tribe may trim
the Yanks down to size. OF course,
this is the best time to show conf.
dence about beating the Yankees.
It's almost impossible to get a black
eye before the battle gets under
way. But Witt isn't whistling past a
cemetery. He has a good team-at
least potentially.

Golden Jubilee Of

A lost symphony of 1904 pound
ing hoofs will echo over the old
Pimlico Race Course on Saturday,
May IL, the fiftieth Preakness
Day and the golden jubilee of one
of Americas greatest sporting
events.
Since Survivor romped to victory
and fame on a mild day in May,
1878, 401 thoroughbreds have
sought to emulate him; 40 times
has the bugle called Preakness
field to the post and as many
thoroughbreds have returned to the
winners circle to receive the plau-
dts of the crowd and the blanket
of flowers symbolic of Preakness
victory.
The masters of the past are
sending contributions TO the Golden
Jubilee. Man o'War, master in
1920; Display of 1925; Gallant Fox,
master of 1880 and Burgoo King
! in 1882 and High Quest who held
the pace in 1884 have sons in the
fiftieth Preakness.

Oscar Witt wants them to or close
the season in the second division.
Witt admits the club could use one
more pitcher. In fact, the search
for one has occupied q lot Of his

Of Mel Harder, but Harry Essen
