Union talks
raise, union shop
at National

Negotiations at the National
Foundry Company, under UE
Local 753, were proceeding with
two meetings this week, with
wages, vacations, military service
compensation, and recognition
clauses still at issue.
Members of Local 753 at Ma
tional, voted at their last mem
bership meetings to insist ON
demands for a union shop,
based on the overwhelming
membership and support for
the union in the plant.
Management has already agreed
to the principle of compensation
for drafted employees. Seniority,
grievance, overtime, sanitation,
and other clauses have already
been covered in negotiations. Man.
agement has so far refused to meet
union demands for the union shop.
Negotiations are in the hands of
a committee, including Joe Kav-
alauskas, Jr., Homer Dykes, John
Kellum, and Norton Cross, as
sisted by UE Field Organizer VIII

to the Dayton Union NEWS
reads, 1--WE appeal to all of
the various locals of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organiza-
tons to help us i'm our cause.
We bear i'm mind that our
support is willingly offered to
you at all times"
Red Wing products on the un-
fair list include Hires Root Beer,
Vanti's Papai, Sundrop, Red Wing,
Ginger Ale and Mixers, and all
Red Wing soda water products.
CLIO members are asked to con-
tact restaurant owners and store
owners near CIO plants, to urge
them not to handle Red Wing
products.
The Red Wing Corporation, a
Division of Borden's, Incorporated,
has used numerous anti labor tao
tics against its employees, Feller's
statement declares. Union men
have been fired, and there is a
general fear of losing their jobs
which keeps employees who would
like to enjoy union benefits from
joining, according to Teller.
The Importance of Red Wings
anti-unionism was stressed by the
soft drink workers. "By destroy

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Not long ago, a college student
set out to look up the record of the
first ruler of Scotland, and asked for
books on King Macintosh
The student was on the wrong
track History has no record of a
Scottish king with that name.
There was, however, a Scottish
inventor called Macintosh. His
name probably has been spoken by
more persons than the name of
any king Scotland ever had.
Charles Macintosh was born in
1855. When he was 81 years old,
he obtained a patent on a new
way of using rubber. The plan was
to dissolve rubber and then to
place it on cloth.
Goats were covered with rubber
in that manner, and that made
them waterproof, or almost so.
Thousands of persons bought such
coats, and called them after the
inventor.
"Mackintoshes" remain on sale
today. The name of the coat usually
(but not always) is spelled with a
''k' after the &C."
Getting back to that first King of
Scotland, We find that his name was
Kenneth MacAlpin. He lived LOO
years ago.
At that time, there was much
Evening star., 1941-02-28

West opened the deuce or dia-
nonds, and South thought for a
moment before he played the first
card. The lead was either fourth
best or a singleton. In the former
case f1nesse would probably sue
ceed; and then even if East ruffed
a later round of diamonds, the con-
tract would be made. If the lead
were a singleton, it would be better
to put up dummy's diamond ace
in the hope that West would be
unable to get diamond ruff.
Unable to decide what the lead
meant, South tried the finesse-
holding a swindle in reserve if it
should turn out that he had made
the wrong guess.
He therefore played a low dia-
mond from dummy, East played the
king, and South dropped the queen
without a seconds hesitation. Now
consider poor East's problem. If
the opening lead was a fourth-best
diamond, South's diamond queen
was singleton. Why would South
f1nesse with a singleton diamond?
Probably to use the diamond ace
for club discard. From the bid
ding, it was quite possible that West
had two club tricks and a high
trump; so East returned a club in
stead of a diamond. And then
South could easily draw trumps and
make his contract.
