Upstate Help Welcome

A LTHOUGH Republican legislators may have political

districts they will be rendering major service regardless
They believe a simplfed primary system in Detroit
will aid the Republican Party in its weakest territory
Yet these outstate lawmakers acknowledge that
primary system designed n1911 is not serceable today
in a city of than 100000 persons.
In the oustate districts legislative elections faith
full reflections of public sentiment These districts are OF
reasonable size and the voters well acquainted with
the qualifications of their candidates.
DUT in Detroit the hapess voter confronted by hun

This haphazard method of voting produces sorry
results and sometimes have sent to Lansing so
Unqualified that the city would have been better of not
to be represented by them at all.
This confused process defeating its ends is not
representative government at all.
Detroit is city of separate neghborhoods each with
its own interests complexities and requirements
To elect all II representatives at large from long
list of political unknowns cannot give Detroit the equality
it is supposed to have in state government

The citys present legislators opposed to any
change that might jeopardze their political strength
But dispatches from Lansing indicate the rural men,

Trainees Getting Workout
Harder Than Big War Boys
By EDWIN c. HILL

OFFICERS and newspaper
" correspondents and civilian
attaches of the A. Z. F. bought
French grammars and diction-
aries and worked up quite a
lather. trying to learn the Ian
guage. Conjugations, d e n
sions and endings threw them
for a loss after loss. They were
continually tripping over some
maverick verb. in their zeal to
speak correctly or not at all.
The general run of the fight
ing force didn't worry about
such subtleties. The boys would
get a half-Nelson on a word,
bring it down and make it for
ever their own. palavering with
the madamoiselles or Turing
the bewhiskered Poilus into
crap games.
One of the handiest of these
catch-as-catch linguists was big
Pete Dorgan from Brooklyn.
When the boys got. into a con-
versational snarl around a bar
or on a street corner, Pete al
ways knew the mot juste." The
word might be uniquely his own,
but he always made it convey
meaning and he had a great
reputation as a guy that saw
vies this frog talk"
Pete's greatest linguistic ex-
plot came after he had been
considerably shot up and was
convalescing in a peasants cot
tage. One day. as he reclined
on bench in the sunshine in
front of the cottage. the farm
wife was grubbing turnips
near by.
Pete saw that the family COW
had pulled up her stake and
was galloping down the road.
Maddum, Maddumi" he called.
lie lait promenade "the milk
walks"). The farm-wife under
stood and retrieved the COW. 1t
was soldierly resourcefulness
like this which helped win the
war. However the medal which
Pete got was for fighting, not
talking.
We are firm in the belief that
our tearoom soldiers will have
similar versatility. even if they
don't quite fit into the 1918 red
neck "doughboy" stereotype.

Keep Liquor Sales

7 HAVE said over and over in

found one,
Some $500 years ago there
lived in Rome a farmer. His
name was Lucius Quintius Gin
cinnatus.s His farm was small,
but he was patrician and what
today would be called a "reac-
tionary." He was a persistent
opponent of the plebeians-that
is, the working classes. He did
not believe in equality"
But Cincinnatus was an old

in the common virtues of hon.

He was stripped to the waist,
working his fields, one day, when
a messenger brought him a call
from the Roman Senate to be-

rTNHE way 10 keep away the
4 shadow of prohibition and
all its corruption and debase-
ment from our doors is to keep
the places where liquor is sold
on the same level of decencX -2S
any other place of business.
The American Hotel Associa-
ton has begun campaign for
Temperance" and "order."
The associations president
Franklin Moore, says that the
overwhelming majority OF the
American people are in favor
of the continuance of the sale OF
alcoholic beverages, but they
wish to keep that sale clean.
We in the hotel and restaurant
business also believe in keeping
or bar business clean
Since repeal the bars of the
United States, especially OF New
York, have been on higher
level of general decency and
safety than they ever have been
in the history Of the country.
Even those ''un der the
weather" handle themselves bet
ter than they ever did. And this,
as well as the general excel
lence of the drinking places, l
lay to the subconScious fear in
proprietors OF drinking places,
bartenders, and above all,
among drinkers, that prohibition
may come back. especially if we
are drawn into the war.
We humans learn only through
experience. and it may be that
the 13 years OF the prohibition
horror branded one salutary
thing on our brainS-that Is, we
must learn to handle drink or
the blue-snoots will manhandle
us.

them. They won't miss a bet in
spoofing our young warriors. We
aren't losing any sleep over it.
These boys are mucking around
plenty in mud and brambles
through a long, hard days shift,
taking a lacing from a hard
boiled top sergeant, nursing their
bunions, and their bruised egos,
yearning for home and getting
used to slum for dinner and a
barrack-room flop.
THEY don't just sit around and
count their money, or read
magazines. From all l hear. they
are getting a SITTER workout

liminaries of the World War.
If, along with the mud and the
inconsistencies and the slum. their
army bosses stir in a dish of
lights and music, pretty girls,
Haviland china, Orange Pekoe,
canapes and all that goes with
tearoom decor. we won't be
among the taxpayers or "Vox

TO fire up a soldier with the idea
that this country offers him a

TO THE EDITOR:
TWENTY billion in dollars to
i save the world for democ-
racy: how much in blood no one
knows.
We shall give the people OF
this earth freedom to talk. to
pray, freedom from fear. from
need.
HOW? BY defeating the
armies of a round 100000 600
people and crushing their dicta-
torial leaders.
The leaders who became die
tators because they made TO
their people the same categori-
cal promises which they knew
they couldn't keep without war
and conquest.
Now. we shall take turn. An
about, completely unprepared,
learn-as-we-go turn.
Have we analysed the prob
lens of these people? Have we
got solutions? Have we selected
the best?
l doubt it, True. we may de-
feat their military machines, we
may give them idealistic and abb
stract privileges, but how are we
going to give-them the chance to
eat?
There are 45.000.000 of them
in Italy. 100000 in Germany
100000 in Japan. There are
500 people for each square mile
of Japanese soil, there are $50
people for each square mile of
Italian soil, there are 800 people
for each square mile of German
soil.
In the United States the num-
Der is 40. That's why we have
surplus of food and they go
hungry. How are we going to
feed them? Are we going to take
colonial land from Great Britain,
France, Holland and give it to
them?
Are we going to loan them
money so they can buy food
from us?
Are we going to give them raw
materials on credit so they can
make mouse traps and kodaks
and sell them to the world with
a profit to buy food from us, or
Britain. or the Argentina?
Or have we got some other
better. yet undisclosed. practical
plan up our national sleeve?
Ideologies WON'T fill hungry
stomachs and they are hungry
over there today after their
reckless governments have spent
all their wealth on ornaments
to risk it with one pitch and
toss" as Kipling said.
All the dictators had economic
plans. They expounded them to
their people until the people fell

Declaration Of
Go at
Washington
conference

"Organized labor, under the
leadership of the CLIO, has made
tremendous strides forward in re-
cent years. This onward march
is being seriously threatened by
repressive and anti-labor bills
now pending in Congress. The
proposed legislation is aimed at
eliminating the right to strike,
imposing compulsory arbitration
and generally to Illustrate organ
izing efforts among the morgan
lied workers.
"The delegates of all the ma
tional international Unions and
organizing committees and State
industrial Union councils assem-
bled in conference today hereby
adopt the following program:
II. ALI pending bills in Congress
which curtai1 in any way the
rights of labor, such as the May
and Connally bills, the Vinson bill
and the Ball bill are severely con-
demned. Those representatives in
Congress who support such leg
islation must understand that they
are assuming a position inimical
to organized labor and will be so
understood.
"2. The president of the CLIO is
authorized to designate a COM
mittee to call upon the President
of the United States, the Speaker
of the House, the Vice President
of the United States and the ma
jority and minority leaders of
both houses to present these views
of the CLIO, and to obtain the
assurances of the peoples repre-
sentatives that the democratic and
legal rights of labor must and
shall remain unimpaired."

EIU bosks
in shade
Of the Go
BY Kenneth Rhoades

HEAR YE, HEAR We - The
watch word of DAYTON is now
the CLIO. Even the stooge outfit
at the MGR has to sell their
tickets in front of the CIO hall.
This would seem to be a message
to the MGR workers, that even
the bosses of the EIU want the
support of the CLIO. These de-
famers of Union ideals know that
they cannot get anywhere in
Dayton without the help of the
CIO, and SO they put a stand
under the neon signs of LOCAL
8O7 on Main Street.
This picnic of the EIU would be
a complete flop without the help
of outside shops to help finance
it. AS you all know the indepen-
dents are done in other factories
other than the MGR. Isn't it a
shame that they cannot do any
thing new but follow the plans
that the CLIO has already proven.
This is the reason that the MGR
is always two years behind in
collective bargaining and working
conditions. j
We have to give credit to
Creamer and his stooges for being
master sleight-o f-hand artists in
keeping the wool pulled over the
eyes of the men and women at
the MGR. But isn't it a fine thing
that they have to come down to
the CIO hall to get help for their
It'll bitti party.
SOME FUN-HEY FELLOWS!
LET'S MAKE MGR NEXT!
In Union There Is Strength
BE STRONG!

As OIL 60 minutes, as a penalty.
Management is so petty that it
even refuses to allow an employee
to wear a shirt with the lettering
CLIO on it.
Top management has inquired
whether these rules are being
accepted" by the employees.
They have been told there is a
great deal of. restlessness and
dissatisfaction and that there is
danger of small infractions. Man
agement's response in effect was,
There isn't any question. They
will be enforced" This first week
the Rules were up, 4 employees
were given disciplinary layoffs for
alleged infractions. In one in
stance they did not even take the
time to investigate. They laid off
the employees first-then started
Investigating. In another instance,
the foreman allowed a minor in
fraction to pass with a warning
but a week later on reconsidera-
ton gave the employee a weeks
layoff.
It is difficult to understand
arrangements game. One thing is
certain. Frigidaire Local sO1 is
growing and is outstripping all
other Locals in rate of growth.
The employees are coming into
the Union with a feeling of bitter
ness towards the management.
Management Is building a fight
ing Union which realizes that
everything that Is won has been
fought for.
1t will be well for Frigid-
aire management to review its
approach to industrial rela-

MGR policy Of
discrimination
smells

Policy of the management at
MGR has gone from bad to worse!
The workers organized in the UE
are being Disseminated against in
a last desperate effort to stay the
tide of membership that daily
flows to the true representatives
of the workers at MGR.
The company is placing all
recognized UE men on jobs where
the rate has been cut to the extent
that they are unable to make a
living wage. In order to obtain a
transfer, these men are obliged to
pay tribute to the anemic imita-
ton of a union that the company
has forced upon the workers. If
the memory of the National Labor
Relations Board decisions are not
fresh in the minds of management,
will be forced to revive them!
The overtime is over, boys! How
do you like your paychecks now?
General shops all over the
country allow their men to smoke
in the rest rooms. Our rest rooms
are fire proof! Why can't we?
The ten cent raise amounts to
nothing when the prices in piece
work are cut so low that a worker
cannot make a living wage!
We Got 1t - Let's Keep 1t!
