STRAND

Ending this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros Strand theater is Texas Rangers Ride Again" with John Howard, Ellen Drew and Akim Tamiroff; also John Garfield and Brenda Marshall in East of the River.
 Starting Wednesday the Strand will present the Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico and Harpo, in Go Vest, a wild and woolly comedy which opens a four-day engage nent on that day.
 The Marxes say this is their epic western to end all westerns. It is the first time anyone has ever poked fun at the big bad men, hard-boiled sirens, lovely heroines and brave heroes of the early west. The Marxes do so by making the picture a howl from start to finish. To help things along, they don pio- neer-day costumes, revamped to suit their own ideas.
 They are aided in their fun and excitement by a stellar cast which includes John Carroll, Diana Lewis, Walter Woolf King and Robert Barratt.
 The film is full of music, with a piano solo by Chico, harp number by Harpo, songs by Carroll and Miss Lewis, comedy yodeling by Groucho and a fast "Can-Can" dance by group of chorines.
 The story is all about the three Marxes' adventures when they go west to look for gold in Colorado and meet a group of williams who are conspiring to rob the hero and heroine of deed to some land the railroad wants. They leap into the plot. and the fun never stops until the whole cast winds up racing wildly over faSt-moving early American train.
 On the same big show will be another in the exciting Dr. Kil- dare series, ''Dr. Kildares Crisis" with Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore Laraine Day and Robert Young.

The Shop Committee reports
that Agreement has been reached
with the Management for the
setting up of a wage adjustment
system, and the balance of the
points are under discussion.
In a Membership Meeting of
Thursday, October %, 1941, full
approval was given to the wage
proposal plan as worked out by
the Shop Committee and the Man
agement, and a two-man Rate
Committee established to meet
with a similar committee for Man

Berger were elected as Union
representatives to this Committee.
These two Union Members are
well qualified for the responsible
job before them, as both have
been very active in the Union
during the past year, demonstrate
ing both leadership and ability in
the interest of their fellow

The Shop Committee working

Steward Ed. Stoner, Carl Mosser,

Urge aid TO

During the next few days,
every worker in Dayton will be
contacted and asked for contribu-
tons to the Dayton Community
Chest. At no time will any worker
be made to feel that he or she is
forced to donate. The chest is,
properly managed, a great Amer
lean institution. Management is
made up this year of labor
representatives as well as execu-
tives.
The membership of the United
Electrical Workers has gone on
record as supporting the Chest
Drive. The workers of Dayton
feel that they are now being given
the consideration they deserve.
The membership is urged to
give according to their own finan-
cial status. Assurance is given by
our representatives on the Chest
Board that the funds donated will

cation, the Board of the Council
recommended to the delegate body
that the CLIO in Dayton 60 on
record in support of Mr.. Lerch,
who is the only Labor candidate
seeking office on the Board of
Education.
Mr.. Lerch is a member of and
is backed by the Allied Printing
Trades Council of Dayton, a resi-
dent of Dayton for 81 years and
a respected member of the COM
munity. He deserves the con-
sideration and the vote of every
CLIO member.
Mr.. Lerch is an independent
office-seeker inasmuch as he is
not backed by any political party
and on that basis, the Council
takes the position in his support.

CLIO members you're in a foot
ball game now, and you have been
since the start of Ben Cromwe11's
City Commissioner Campaign. It
is a tough game and we know it's
been getting tougher all the time.
We have to face the facts, then
we'll know we're playing against
a tough team, that is made up of
Democratic and Republican Po-
litical stars. This all-star political
machine won't stop at little things
like straight LEARNING and punching
in the scrimmange.
If they think that they can get
away with it, and if the CLIO is
on the job as it has been in the
past they won't get away with it.
Since the start of Ben Cromwell's
drive for the City Commissioner
we built a fast charging team, full
of spirit and fight. By team work
and head work we have worked
our way down the field to the
enemy's 2O-yard line, and now we
have come to the last period of
play with the score tied; the
spectators are cheering, the news
boys are all set, we come out of
our huddle, take our positions,
signals, the ball is thrown back
to Ben Cromwell and we're off.
What do you say, CLIO members?
Remember every CIO member
has a place on this Cromwell for
Commissioner team, and when the
referees whistle blows at 7 o'clock,
election day, snap into it. And
remember every play being ex-
ecuted so far, everything we have
learned in strategy, has been lead
ing up to this final run. Remem-
Der, Brother Members, on this
coming election morning you have
got to stay on your toes, charging
the line, running interference,
taking out tacklers, if Ben Crom-
we'll, the Captain of the team, and
the back we have elected to carry
the ball for us is to cross the
goal line into the City Commits
sioner's office.

a few
don'ts TO
forerr1en
BY A. A. Ambrose

The following "don'ts" are
printed for the benefit of a few
foremen at Airtemp who need en-
lightenment badly. Here's hoping,
"a word to the wise is sufficient"
1-DON'T-Forget that the men
working under you are human and
should be treated as such.
2~-DON'T-Keep everything to
yourself. Too often, you find your
self having the men do twice as
much work as is necessary, simply
because you failed to tell them all
you should.
3~-DONT-Keep your men
guessing" about working over
time. Let them know before they
are on their way to ring out. A
foreman, who doesn't know when
or whom to work overtime, and
who fails to inform them IN the
proper time, is out of place as a
foreman. It leaves a bad impress
sion on the men
4-DON'T-Be the cause of your
men working overtime thru failure
on your part in lining up the
work properly. Too often, it's your
own fault for overtime.
We hope these don'ts sink in"
in the right heads. Further an
noyances on these subject will re-
suit in direct filing of grievances
where concerned.

Carl B.
Thompson
His Labor Record

Nobody loves the working man
any better than a politician, es-
pecially at election time. Many,
times the working man is fooled
by a professed friend of labor"
who is actually just the opposite.
There is but one way to deter
mine whether a candidate, who
claims to understand the problems
Of the working man can be tested.
And that is on his background,
his experience, and his record over
a period of years, as it relates to
his dealings with the working
man.
Carl B. Thompson, candidate for
Clerk of the Municipal Court, at
the November election, can right
fully say that he understands the
problems of labor, because he
started carrying a Union card
when he was 18-years old, as a
member of the Machine Hands
Union, Local "a, equivalent to
ALL Machinists, which Union he
joined when Unions were not as
popular a they are today, and
when membership in a Union was
almost equivalent to losing a
much-needed job. Carl B. Thomp-
son knows the problems and
sympathies with organized labor.
His record of dealings with
Labor, during a previous term of
office as Clerk of the Municipal
Court, is one of which both he
and organized labor may well be
Equally noteworthy were his
diligent efforts on behalf of the
citizens and taxpayers of Dayton.
His record of service stands as a
example of what can be
done in public life if the elected
official has the capabilities, and
the will to serve. For it was Carl
3. Thompson, who established the
present system in use in the
Clerks office of the Municipal
and SO widely was it
recognized that the same system
is now employed in most cities
IN Ohio.
Labor can vote with confidence
Tor Carl B. Thompson for Clerk
Of the Municipal Court.
