The Cherry Tree
Where We Hdtched Out
The Truth
. OBLIGATIONS
. FOR UNION MEN
. SELFISHNESS OUT
. 1T WON'T DO

This business of being a union man
today carries lot Of obligations. 1t
isn't a one-way street.
Too many young fellows join up on
the theory that this is the sure way
to "get ours"
1t is a way to keep things in bal
ance, sure enough-a way to see to
it that agreements are kept and that
there are agreements to keep. 1t is
way to see that laws are observed.
But it is by no means merely way
to "get ours"
More than ever in history, being
union man carries obligations.
A union man has to give as we'll as
get.
Because the nation is in it's greatest
and gravest crisis.
x X X
More and more unionism means ac-
ceptance of responsibility. To whom?
To the nation, to the public at large,
to defense, to the United States Con-
stitution and it's bill of rights and to
the great fabric of unwritten ideas
and ideals that make the nation what
it is.
Pure selfshness is out-or better
be.
Because the man or the movement
that gets out Of tune with the big
necessity of today will in the end be
washed up and washed out.
This is pretty generally recognized,
h,1t 11n cfil
not recognize it and who act more or
less in the pattern of the rampaging
of the we'll known bull in the china
shop, smashing up the dishes right
| and left.
1t won't do, it just won't do in these
times.
One might pick John L. Lewis as
good example, but there are plenty Of
others and their presence is not linn
| tied to one side of the fence.
Never has there been so much law
and so much machinery by which TO
secure a fair deal Never have there
| been SO many safeguards and so
many agencies at the service Of
unions and union members.
And never has there been such ter
rible need for decent conduct, for pa
tience, for fair deal from both sides,
as there is today.
1t can be said fairly that the fate
Of all free institutions depends upon
the understanding cooperation Of
labor.
And the day is at hand when there
won't be much tolerance for the outfit
that ties up tank production line, or
an airplane factory.
These things had better be said
from the inside than from the outside
for they are true.
X X X
The general staff of labor has
pledged that there will be cooperationj
that there won't be stoppages except
in last resort cases-that no rights
will be surrendered, but that there
will be performance of duty on the
job and that the machinery of war
will be kept rolling.
Why should anybody be kidded?
There have been too many violations
of those fine pledges.
There have been too many snap
actions, in which the machinery of
settlement was given no chance.
There have been too many stoppages.
The men guilty of these things
seem not to realize that they thus en-
danger the rights and the freedoms
and the welfare of all labor. Their
selfshness is bitterly short-sighted.
For just as sure as these things
| keep on, there will be a resentment
that will end in an angry law with
teeth that will bite-CMW.

How did you know the Nazis were

We understand why you announced
they were not there
That was the Hitler tactic: telling

But the U. S. Navy had just dis
covered as much as you knew
So they took those Nazi radio men
into custody
Would you mind explaining?

plead with German people
To stop the Nazi invasions, includ-
ing the war in Crete
When the German people didn't
even know there were Nazis in Crete /?
The world will want to know: so fix
up the record
On why you prevented railroads
from building more freight cars
By stopping Federal loan, proposed
as necessary for war
Did you know there was war COM

In which railroad equipment would

Was that why you insisted that
there would be no war?

Who also predicted America could
not lick Hitler
You put your foot in it, when you
used that Nazi trick
Jews in America
Now, you are out on long limb,
with lots of saws waiting
Predicting there will be no elections
here in 1912
You don't think much of American
elections, do you?
You think they selected bad "lead-
ership", Ell?
You voted twice here in 10 years,
to prove your interest
Do you really think there are
enough Gestapos in America
TO even stop elections in Scandi-

 periOr Court

Cornell had ordered recess shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, in order to permit counsel an opportunity to discuss settlement, a $l2,000 suit instituted by Maurice T. and Helen M, Condon, both of Waterbury, against Finton J. Phelan, adminis- trator of the estate of Margaret F. Powers, late Naugatuck recluse, went to trial apparently unresolved.

 For these services the deceased paid nothing, and in her will left TO provision compensating the Condons for their efforts In her behalf.

No Streets to Be Desig. mated This Year-In

Coasting on selected city streets, allowed each year in the past, will be outlawed this winter.
 An aldermanic committee consist ing of Burton H. Walker, Henry Minicucci and John Kopcha, after several conferences with Deputy Police Superintendent Daniel J. Car son, has decided to recommend that no streets be set aside for Sliding" this year and that the sport be limited to the city,s parks.
 The committee members have reached the conclusion that traffic is now so heavy that even setting aside certain streets for coasting Is dangerous.
 Supt. of Streets Herbert Scott- Smith pointed out to the committee that mary complaints were deceived each winter about failure to sand streets which have been placed on the s/)roved list for coasting.

SOVIET VESSEL PREPARING FOR
 VITAL WAR JOB
Faces PeriIOus Dutie s in Frozen Arctic
 Seas
By GEORGE E. JONES nlieh Press Staff COrreSpndent

ANNNNu AANsA RAsAA NNAANCEhANAN
 Seattle, Wash, Dec, 3 (UP)- Faced with the necessity of break ing a trail through the frozen seas of the far north so American aid can be dispatched to Soviet armies via the roof of the world the SS0- foot Russian ice-breaker Krasin is undergoing repairs here,
 The KraSin is one of the largest ships of It's type in the world, and Its hull resembles that of Sub- marine, Driven by 10000 horsepower 1t is particularly adapted for the gruelling task,
 Under the command of Capt M Markov, the Krasin next spring must open a trail via the Bering sea, the Arctic ocean and into the White sea as far as MurmanSk and Archangel, In 1929 the Krasin, with Markov in cONmand, was the first to negotiate this h2rilouS route,
 Difficult Task
 1ee-breaking in winter is a difii- cult task, even for vessel the size of the KraSin, the captain e%- plsined, because lee closes astern almost instantly after the vessels passage. No cargo shop could iol- low.
 In the spring, however, the "uail' will last days, then weeks, providing n vital supply line to the Soviet,
 The route covers 10000 miles, en- tirely unhampered - to date -- by enemy vessels,
 Markov was decorated by the Soviet government iu 1884 for his hcroiSm in command of the Chelo' skin, an ico-breaker type of cargo vessel, when it tomdeted and was crushed in lee north of Siberia, Since then not ship has been lost along the route.
 The KraSin's rounded sides and blunt bows enable it to rlSe on top ol fec when the floeS close in Otherwise, the gigantic pressure Of the floeS would crush the vessel By a rolling process, achieved with filling tanks on either Sidc Of the slip, the Krasin can break through ies with It's keel,
 The Krasins 10000 horsepower is more than that Of q giant ocean steamer.
 Markov does not fear possible Japanese Intervention in the north Pacific.
 No Fear of JapS
 Japan is too weak to hinder our operi tions," he said We can hide in tie lee If nothing else, and there isn't q Japanese commander ailont who would dare follow us, Ire lee Is our friend
 Likewise Russia does not fear enemy intervention in the White sec, Markoy said, adding;
 There are 42-iee-breakers work ing she White sea, No enemy can fellow us In, because they have no ioe-breakers."
