AA ~4~ ~~J ~ ~A~0
Labor in Dayton is wondering
why the stalling tactics on the
part of the companies that are
holding these large Defense orders.
For example, at the new Ordnance
plant at Frigidaire, a great part
of the employees are working part
time. Why? Everyone should be
working full time in order to
comply with the requirements of
the Defense program!
One pertinent fact that presents
itself in these troubled times, is
the fact that Profits of the Cor
porations are increasing, plants
have millions of dollars of orders
on hand, the nation is demanding
"all out production" and what is
the result? Short time, laid off
workers, and a general feeling of
u%neasiness throughout the country.
ALI indications point to the fact
that the vested interests" have a
program for their own "defense,"
Could it be that the big Boys
are staging another "sit down"
strike as was pulled by the
money bags a year or so ago.
These questions must be ans
wered by those that are really
interested in getting production
for the National Defense for
the Defense of the nation -. En-
ployment for all Labor is
willing to do it's part Let's

. Brown and Brockmyer
system is
expended

The steward system at Brown &
Brockmeyer is being expanded to
cover every group in the plant.
According to the new system
every employee will be able to
contact a Union representative
without any difficulty.
This change will speed up the
grievance procedure and make
possible the handling of more
grievances. All stewards will carry
application cards for the conven-
fence of those who want to join
the Union. Every member can do
their part by assisting the stewards
in building the UNION 1000!

AuxiIiories
important

It is not generally known, but
we have two Chapters of Lady
Auxiliaries here in Dayton. One
is made up of the wives and girl
friends of our Frigidaire members,
the other one Of Delco Products
womenfolk. It is well known that
the "better half can make a real
contribution to a members peace
of mind" in carrying out his Union
responsibilities.
The Auxiliaries can be Of real
assistance to the Local Unions in
many other important ways. Every
member should urge his wife to
attend the Auxiliary meetings, and
participate in its activities.
This is especially advisable now
when the Auxiliaries can be eff
fective in the fight against rising
living costs. We know, for instance,
how the price of meat went down
in Detroit not long ago, when all
housewives refused to buy any
for about three days. The same
can happen here in Dayton on
many items that have risen in cost
all out of reason. The Auxiliaries
can certainly work out an effec-
tive program for Dayton.
In addition, there are many
things that can be done now for
our members and friends who
have been drafted, or who en-
listed in the armed forces. These
men, who may soon be called on
to defend democracy, would be
extremely grateful to receive some
token from back home. Cigarettes,
candy, socks, and gloves could
easily be sent in small packages
to the various army camps. We
would like to see the Auxiliaries
carry on this activity. It will
interest many women to join and
become really active. Z.

Ghosts Haunt Egry or
Caught With Their Shrouds Down!

Not only do the walls have ears
at Egry Register, THEY WRITE
IN SHORTHAND !! A great boon
to management is the egotistical
ghost at Egry, who not only re-
ports all Union activities, BUT,
neatly makes all said reports in
SHORTHAND!
Shorthand, however, is an &C
complishment that numerous
people master while engaged in
the pursuit of higher education
in the high school classes of our
fair city.
Therefore, we feel that the
master mystic behind the scenes
of the Egry ghost, who makes
these reports of activities Of
Union Stewards should be brought
forth into the light of day. Ghosts,
to the skeptical minds of our
membership, are purely a super
stition!
Bring them out, management!
Let's smell them and scent wheth-
er or not they are the real Mccoy!

Q n. G.. r.
Strange
things do
happen
BY Robert L. Bennett,
President Of Local 8O7

It is the strangest thing, except
to those of us who know the facts,
how these COMPANY UNION
DUMMY OUTFIT spring up, only
when CLIO starts to organize a
shop. We in the shop can go along
for years without hearing a peep
out of these Company Stooges,
only to hear them let out a below
when something GOOD for the
WORKER comes along.
Right now these same STOOGES
are promising everything in the
book, to keep the boys and girls
from joining the CLIO. Promises,
ladies and gentlemen, they cannot
possibly fulfill. And even whe the
FOREMEN and STOOGES get to-
gether on a small raise here and
there, we can see the reason be-
hind it all. The people at MGR also
are beginning to e it, and are
rapidly signing up in a real
UNION, the UE-CIO. One that
really gets results. So do not
delay any longer, you people that
have not signed. DO IT TODAY!

Red Letter Day:-Monday, Nov
ember Bird, the coil winders were
all present and accounted for, on
the job. This is the first time in
over a year. We hope we can con-
tinue for the remainder of 1871.
Let's try, girls.

We wish to welcome back to
the coil department after a long
illness, Betty Larson and Ruth
Cooper.

Now that the Iay-off scare has
passed, some of the girls i'm De-
partment Ia have joined that well
known band of hitch mixers.
Better get back ON the band
wagon, girls, because it's the
UNION that makes us strong!

What! Another woman-hater
has slipped? I guess women aren't
so bad after all, are they, Roy?

Just a reminder: Each and
every one of us know who and
where our Steward is, also each
and every one of us know when
our dues are due. We never know
when an emergency is going to
pop up, so let's all of us give our
Union it's just dues.

We wish to report the illness of
Claryce Grimes and Eta Brown
of the stator line. We wish them
a speedy recovery and hope to
see them soon.
MANAGEMENT WANTS TO
COOPERATE go
On October 81. Mr.. Kraft asked
the stewards of Department IA to
ask the girls for cooperation
in keeping up, or lettering the
present level of production. The
management has also asked the
girls for suggestions, whereby they
can eliminate the waste of both
time and material.

At The Golden Gates
Without A Card

II ought to have a large reward
For never owning a Union card.
I've never %grumbled, I've never struck,
I've never mixed up with Union truck.
I must be going my way to win,
So open. St. Peter, and let me in"
st. Peter sat and shook his staff.
Despite his high office, he had to laugh.
Said he. with a fiery CLEAN in his eye:
"Who is tending this gate, sir, you or 7?
I've heard of you and your gift of CAB:
You are what is known on earth as a Iscab!"
Thereupon he rose in his stature tall
And pressed a button upon the wall.
And said to the imp who answered the bell,
escort this fellow around to Hell.
"Tell Satan to give him a seat alone
On a red hot griddle up near the throne.
But stay, for the Devil can't stand the smell
OF a cooking scab on a griddle in He'll;
It would cause a revolt, a strike, I know,
If I send you down with the imps below.
Go back to your master on earth and tell
That they don't even want a scab In Hell"
Chicago Union Leader.

Egry girls
show great
gains recently

The organization of the girls of
the Folding department at the
Egry Register Company is step
ping right along. Within the past
few weeks many of the new m
ployees have become interested in
the activities of the Union and
have ON into the organization.
After hearing of the past exper-
fence of the old employees, the
new employees are quick to
recognize the benefits of the UE.
The new employees have several
reasons to be glad that they are
working under a UE-C1O agree
ment. One is the wage increase
they receive every 80 days, some
thing unheard of in the days
before the UE entered the shop.
Another, the seniority protection.
Every day they work at the Egry
they are building up a greater
degree of security for their job.
4
The wage increase negotiated by
the UE for the girls in the folding
department will amount to more
than 500 by the end of next week.
To those workers who appreciate
what the UE has done for them
the cost has been So initiation fee
and 81 per month. One hundred
dollars should be enough to con-
vince any one that the UE-CIO
is an organization for the better
ment of the workers. There is still
time left for those who want to
do their part in supporting the
Union that has done so much
for them. See the department

Acting Antics Awe
BuHled BYstdnders

No! Students in public speak
ing don't go crazy as it may
seem to band members that
were brave enough to enter
room 204 during the first period
in the afternoon last Thursday.
Those members that were re-
turning their instruments to
the music room were confronted
with a couple of boys gesturing
wildly and going about as if 60
ing through a nightmarish bal
let dance. Some of these unex-
pected spectators would utter a
few sounds of amazement and
rush out of the room, while 9TH
ers just stood in the door, fro
zen with awe, as Jimmy Sim
mons and Elvin Ernest went
through what was evidently a
public speaking assignment. But
the point is that they weren't
crazy, they were doing what
Miss Curry calls a pantomine.

Supenntenden
CORNER
SCHOOL SPIRIT

One of the first questions
asked about any school is this
What kind of a spirit does it
have? The writer naturally was
curious to ascertain how the
Hardin school measured up in
this respect. After mingling
with, and observing, the student
body this past six weeks, I am
perhaps permitted to draw some
conclusions. Now first, what do
we mean by school spirit? Ac-
cording to some authorities it is
a combination of mental traits
and attributes in individuals
capable of energizing physical
activities. The students in the
Hardin school possess the same
potentialities as all stuednts do.
The only difference being per-
haps that this phase of school
activity has not been properly
directed and co-ordinated. 1t is
the opinion of the writer that
the Hardin students are both
willing and anxious to learn
and improve their school activ-
tiles. Truly, there was a marked
improvement of student spirit
and student support at the last
football game, and if we con-
tinue to make the same rate of
progress we may come up to par
before the school term is over.
Now why is it that we are so
concerned about the presence or
absence of school spirit? Any
school without spirit is dormant
and dying a slow death. On the
other hand, a school filled with
spirit and enthusiasm goes for
ward and onward with eternal
progress as its goal. Which of
these types does Hardin want
to emulate?
One of the best and concrete
examples of motivating spirit Is
that manifested by the coaches
and football squad. Truly, it can
be said that these groups have
gradually improved their effec-
tiveness from week to week dur
ing the season, and have at
tanned new heights in footbabll
history in the local schools.
The point we want to make
is this Where there Is spirit
and willingness to learn and will
lingness to direct, you have a
mighty fine and potent combin-
alton. All the students could
take a page from this chronical
and make it a motto or model
for their own individual endea-
vors. Orchids to coaches Garner
and Rimel, and to their football
men for the gallant and sue
cesSful football season OF 1941.
Cordially yours,
Elmer Skeie.

TOMBSTONES
Hardin high school is not
dead, in fact it is very much
alive. For a number Of years
it has been the custom OF each
graduating class to plant a rock
on the lawn, that they, the SEN
iors, might not be forgotten. The
stones are all set in concrete
and are immovable monuments
to these classes. This seems to
me to be a rather foolish and
wasteful way to spend money.
The procedure of the following
classes seems to be far more
sensible. The senior class of Al
put a concrete monument on
the lawn but it was in the form
OF a sidewalk. The senior class
of AZ is planning to plant a
lawn in front of the junior
high school building. These geS-
lures are just as concrete and
immovable as the rocks. They
cost only a little more and are
far more worthy of the long
remembrance they will receive.

HARDIN eleven wins CENTRAL
MONTANA DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP

Hardin's Bulldogs cinched the
Central Montana district cham
pionship hare last Friday by de-
feating Roundup IL to o. Their
sixth consecutive win entities
the Bulldogs to play the winner
of the Class A eastern division
Nov. 8. The eastern champion is
not yet decided but it will be
either Miles City, Glendive or
Glasgow. The team that comes
out on top November 8 has then
qualified to play in the final
of the Montana Class A league.
The first score of the Round
up game came early in the sec
ond quarter when Linn, Hardin's
plunging fullback, skirted his
own left end and went over
standing up. Roundup came
back strong in the second half
and was advancing rapidly to
pay dirt when a pass was inter-
cepted by Hammer, thus end
ing the threat. On a screen pass
from Linn to Turner, Turner
ran As yards to the IL yard line.
The final tally was made by
Linn in this last quarter series
of plays as he reversed his field
on the IL yard stripe and went
charging across the end zone.
Plumbing was the main defect
in the Hardin offense, while
Roundup's passing attack failed
to click paving the Way for nl-
merous interruptions. Roundup's
star players were fullback Green
and quarter VickerS.

Skeie Addresses
OronYx Group

Oronyx, pep club, met Oct. 16
with Superintendent Skeie as
their guest speaker. He sugges-
ted that Oronyx start an organ
ization for younger girls as a
forerunner to the club. The
speaker expressed the wish that
all girls be parliamentary, un-
selfish and sincere. He pointed
out that backing Improvements
for the high school in general
would be raising their own STAN
dards. In helping new students
to get acquainted, Mr.. Skeie
said that the girls would be ben
efiting a cause that has been
highly neglected in the past.

Graduating Class
Sponsors Sidewalks

Thanks to the class Of Al
there are new sidewalks between
the junior and senior high
school buildings. Rather than
using their money to implant a
tombstone on the lawn, as has
been the custom of other grad
uating classes, last years seniors
donated 500 for the sidewalks.
Although this amount did not
cover all expenses, it helped
considerably. Everett Bulls,
president of the class worked
hard all summer to get con-
%struction started, but was un-
able to get it under way until a
few weeks before school began.
Bill Faber received the contract
for building the sidewalks.
The concrete was not yet dry
on the day of registration but
now students and teachers are
rapidly wearing out the side
walks instead Of stumbling over
] dirt paths.

New Gym Equipment

New equipment has recently
been purchased by the athletic
department. Probably the most
colorful additions are the bright

team has recently been sport
ing. The department has also
secured a number of indoor
games consisting of a table ten
mis- set, boxing gloves, dart
game, shuttle board, badminton
set, kittenballS and Indian clubs.
Coach Gene Garner and Miss
Graham, physical education di-
rectors, believe the games will

sides providing carry-over &C
tivities after students graduate.

Campbell Talks To
Student Assembly

1--WE have the finest govern
ment in the world" stressed
Tom Campbell, owner of the
Campbell Farming Corporation
near Hardin, as he addressed
the student body Wednesday,
Oct. IS.
MIR. Campbell spoke to the as
sembly about his trip to Eng
land on the Pan-American
clipper early in March, which
he made at the request of the
Department of Agriculture. He
purchased two small guns be-
fore he left New York harbor,
giving one to President Roose-
welt and carrying one to Eng
land for Prime Minister Chur-
chill.
The wheat producer declared
that the English were good far
mers bbut thev prefer to farm
with horses instead of machin-
cry. He explained to his atten-
tive audience how he had DEM
onStrated the use of tractors
to them and the use of dim
lights on the machines at night.
They will perhaps eventually
begin the extensive use of ma
chinery, importing tractors from
the United States.
According to MI. Campbell,
the British people do not feel
so concerned as he expected
them TO when AFRAID warnings
are sounded. Their shelters are
sanitary. and they seem to take
the war very sensibly, being as
sured and grateful that United
States citizens are rendering
every possible aid.
Concluding his address, Mr..
Campbell expressed his desire
to be able to feel sometime in
the future that we do not have
to live in a world where it Is
possible for someone to march
into a small country and tell
the people what kind of govern
ment they should have.
