co-ordinator of colored peoples ac-

explained that failure to notify the
Federal Government of readiness to

that the money be returned for re-
apportionment in other parts of
the country.
Mr.. Wolter said the deadline for

No Alternatives Suggested.
He also said that while a number

of groups and individuals have pro-
tested use of the field house as a
service club, none has come forward
with a constructive alternative sug-
gestion. The field houses proximity
to the additional facilities of How

College, he asserted, make it the
most advantageously situated build

The letter signed by Mr.. Ander-

FISKE'S
h~so>@4 k~1 %1le4
BY Jack Fiske

Once there was a foreman
who was quite a noble fellow,
known to have a heart of gold
and a disposition mellow. He
loved to pass out raises and he
loved to slow down tracks. He
passed out chairs and pillows
to men to ease their backs.
He picked out his assistants
from the men the boys all
liked. Group leaders not regu-
lar, out of their jobs he liked.
This foreman played no
favOrites, he had no daily
squawks. He never bored
the boys on lines with spe-
cial speed up talks. His
men all worked at normal
speeds and all attained top
pay. Down time was always
figured right and jobs ran
swell all day.
Tea was served at two o'clock
with cookies for each lad. Rest,
charged up to down time, never
made this foreman mad. "Never
work yourself too hard" this
noble foreman said. IF you
feel tired in the morning, why
simply stay in bed. Your pay
will 60 on just the same if you
are sick with flu. Just sit
around and smoke, and chat,
when there's nothing else to
do"
This foreman in the
management aroused no in
dignation. The reason is,
he's just a Bit Of my mag
inatior.

announces dance
Valentine Day
BY Mary Hartman

To get across some information
to you, here's a sample telephone
conversation between a member
of the Dance Committee and a
friend.
"Hello, pal. i called up to
tell you of the dance Local
755 is giving. When? It's Feb
ruary IA, a Valentine Dance,
and we are planning a nice
time for everyone. Something
different in dances, too; it's a
$3.50.
"Something new happening each
hour. Oh yes, and a Prize Waltz,
too. Did you say, 'Where?' It's at
Community Hall on the Old Troy
Pike at Community Drive. Just
about half a mile beyond Kuntz's;
you know where that is. Dancing
upstairs, eats and beer in the
basement.
"Good music? Well, I should
say so! Ruth Watt and Orches-
ira, and a good caller for the
Old Timers. Oh, yes, and CUR
Master of Ceremonies is Ray
Anderson"
The Dance Committee consists
of Harry Tobin, Chairman; Kay
Gudelis, Earl Webb (O1d Member
Getter), Charles Dill Baseball
Chieftain), Paul Chambliss (Our
Bowling Champ, Jack Fiske,
and Mary Hartman (The Tele-
phone Girl).
Proceeds will go to buy
equipment for our new base
ball team, which is being Or
gained to 90 on the field this
spring. Every De1co worker
can appreciate the prestige a
good Union ball team would
give u Union. So let's make
the dance a real big success,
and ensure a good, well
equipped team!
well, I'd better say goodbye.
I'll be seeing you, and I'm sure
have a swell time"

G. GOT STAND
ON FINGERPRINTING

The following statement has been issued on
behalf of UE Local 801, by President Lem MARYLAND.
AT a meeting of the Frigidaire Steward Council, Local
sol, United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America,
representing 1000 Frigidaire workers, these Stewards voted
unanimously in opposition to the contemplated plan Of the
<Frigidaire corporation to fingerprint and photograph all en-
ployees.
"The Steward Council voted to demand that this
matter be made a subject Of collective bargaining between
the Union and management, and that no action whatever be
taken previous to such negotiations.
"The proposal to fngerprint and photograph Frisidaire
employees, without consulting them, is a dictator-like proposal.
The attempt to shove this scheme down the threats of Frigidaire
employees, indicates that management forgets that we are still
living in a democracy.
"This proposal casts an ugly shadow OF suspicion
ON all Frigidaire employees. The proposal Of the company
to discharge an employee who refuses to submit to this
plan, is discriminatory and un-American."
Agents of the FBI have assured Local 0O1 officials, that
fingerprntng and photographing measure are not required
by law. Nor are they necessary. The personnel files of the
Frigidare Division, contain all necessary information apper-
tanning to the employees.
It is this type of measure, which is leading to an
increasing RECOMMENDATION Of the American people at the
hands Of big business.

Suggestions
for MGR forernen
bv UE members
BY Thomas Kennedy

Most employees realize the av-
erage Job-Foreman's position is
no bed of roses. Never the less
by Foremen applying practical
and sound judgment to the numer-
u problems which confront them
from time OF time, matters would
be simplified to some extent.
With that thought in mind,
here r three points which
would tend to alleviate some
of the difficulty:
l. Win and maintain the conf
dence of the men.
2. Be impartial, show no favor
itism.
3. Give intelligent consideration
to any difficulty which the en-
ployee may encounter in his daily
work.
Friction and misunderstand-
ing between the job Foreman
and the men directly under
his charge, are two evil fac
tors which should be corrected
in order to maintain better
working relationships.
Last but not least, they must
earn the respect of both his SUI
perior and of his subordinates.
Respect is accorded him by the
men, only when he has proven by
his ability that he can master the
various problems which may con-
front him, in a nor efficient and
capable manner than the average
man.
