The CIO chief also roundly con
demned use of the army in labor
disputes, administration of the Sc
lective service act on a "work or
fight" basis, and any attempt to
impose compulsory arbitration.
'aThe CLIO and its many affiliated
organizations, are" dedicated to the
single objective of obtaining a bet
ter life for the working men and
women of this nation through in
creased wages and improved work
ing conditions" he said.
In seeking this goal, the workers
must continue their fundamental
right to strike. This right cannot
and must not be impaired by leg
islative action. Murray, who is a
member of the defense mediation
board, singled out the Connally
amendment to hold up to public
censor.
, 1941-06-18

ThSS amendment, Murray said,
"Does not afford protection to
the rights of labor when such
plants are taken over by the
government. In other words, the
amendment is intended solely to
inject government into every
industrial dispute, with the
threat that when workers en-
gage IN a strike, the plant will
be seized by the army. The strike
will be broken, and the rights
of the workers destroyed, fol-
lowing which the plants would
be returned to the management"
Those who would trespass the
lights and privileges of the Amer
can workers are the enemies of
he added. members
If the CLIO are determined that
he rights of Americans to exer-
Use their constitutional and dem
,cratic rights, shall not be denied"

EVENTS

Our new office is getting in tip
top shape, at 8 East Fifth st., in
the Pruden Bldg, thanks to the
work of Brothers Black and Stew
ems. We hope to make it q model
union office, one where our Union
membership will be proud to come.
Regular office hours will be estab-
lished. Watch for a Union bulletin
announcing them.

We are glad to see SO many
Master Electric workers at the
picnic. A good time was had by all,
at this, the largest union picnic
ever held in the history of our
town. We hope the next one will be
even bigger.
Rumor has it that our entertain
ment committee, under the chair
manship of Brother Black, will
treat us to a big surprise soon.
Steaks and weiners have some
thing to do with it, we understand,

WE WON 1T!
LET'S KEEP IT!

The first contract of the UE with the General Motors
Corporation is now signed. While the negotiations are now
history, the contract represents a living thing, the terms
and conditions of which must be guarded every hour, every
day of the year.
This contract represents a tribute to those early
pioneers of the UE in Dayton, who stuck their necks out"
back in 1885, '36 and 81 to bring Unionism to GIN. Five
years of effort represents a great deal of work and patience.
1t was no easy task to win this contract. It required the
strength and unity of General Motors workers.
Upon reflection ae are prompted to boast that our
promise and pledge to the employees of Dayton GIN haze
been met Nth over 800 tuIfllment. The 1O-point program
of the UE for GIN is almost 1000 realization. We fought
for a Zoe general aoage in our drve for certtfication. We
aDon this. We fought for improved seniority provisions,
adequate grievance machinery. AL this aoas soom.
1T WILL TAKE JUST AS HARD, IF NOT HARDER, A
FIGHT TO KEEP WHAT WE HAVE WON.
The future for our organization within the GIN plants,
is very good. They are all nearing the point of complete
organization. The contract marks the beginning of a new
era of our Union in GIN.
A Union Contract is north eractly the Number of
people oDho are organized to protect it. No company has
get been knoaon to grant concessions to its employees aDhich
did not try to take them aa1ay in some other form. A aoGge
increase can be taken aDay by ~speed-up. Grievances can
pile up unless a strong organization is present to enforce
favorable settlement of grievances.
The fight to protect our contract in the immediate days
ahead of us will take place ON two fronts. One il within the
plant the other is outside the plant in the legislative halls of this
community, state, and nation
The path which the UE has staked out for itself is clear.
1t il in accord with the fundamental interests of its members as
part of the largest section of Americans! TO DO EVERYTHING
TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THEIR AMERICAN STANDARD
OF LIVING.
The criterion around aDhich this effort is judged
today is the Administrators War Policy and LaboTs
determination that the u. S. aDu remain at peace. This is
aDhdt brings threats of anttstrike laaDs, the use of the Army
to break strikes, protection of the ineperialst interests Of
Wall Street and Big Business, gasoline holidays to permit
a rise in its price, and uncartaIed rises in rent, food and
the necessities of life. Big Business gets back its uGge
concessions i'm this manner.
We invite every General Motors worker to join us.
Yes, now is the time to join the Union-not only
Of what we have won, but to KEEP what we have won! As
one American joined with Millions of others you strive FOR
EVEN A BETTER FUTURE FOR EVERY AMERICAN
WORKING MAN AND WOMAN-AND OUR COUNTRY.

BRISTOL BAY SCHOONER THEME OF STORY IN
 MAY SP0RTSMEN

In this day of speed and stream lining, spreading sails are as un- common to see as were airplanes twenty years ago. Yet, in Alaska, the days of wooden ships and iron men are not entirely gone Each year during the summer months the four-masted topsail schooner Sophie Christensen is a familiar sight in the Boring Sea, and her men are as hardy a crew as ever manned a sail ing ship in days gone by.
 In the current issue of The Alas ka Sportsman magazine, the May Number, Carl Larson, a former mem- Der of the crew of the Sophie Chris tenson, thrillingly describes a sea- sons voyage. The story as it is told to Steve McCutcheon, is entitled The Visitors Were Not Welcome"
 The Sophia Christensen, a cod fishing vessel, spends almost five months on the fishing banks of the Boring Sea. In this article Larson describes the long voyage to and from Seattle, the activities of the codfishermen, and tells of an en- counter with Japanese whose deep sea nets were spread for miles around the mother" canning ships. The nets of the Japanese, he points out, are in sharp contrast to the hand lines of the codfishermen.

ELKS NOTES =
By=HUBERT MELONS

At the ladies night card party last week. Mrs Oar Smith won high prize and Mrs L. Ripley. low for ladies and J. Wing, high and E. An derson. low. for men. Next card party will be next Thursday night
 At lively and well attended meeting last week a number of in= teresting things occurred that should be of interest to all Elks and their friends.
 Brother Van Fisk acted as install ling officer retiring Brother Frank Winston to the bench as a Past Ex- alted Ruler and installed Brother Leo Osterman as Exalted Ruler for the coming year to be assisted by Brothers Johnson, Wagner and Cur tis to the posts of Leading, Loyal and Lecturing Knights. Brother Leo coming in with a bang. showed his usual conservative method of doing things by holding a double header by being installed as EX- alted Ruler and bringing into the fold the newly made Elks, Brothers M. o. Goggans and Robert Hansler who much to the regret of several members do not have to use Sloan's for a while after riding the goat.
 Brother Jack Johnson. who was the lodges special emissary to the Elks Emblem Club cabaret party at Petersburg on March the %, re- ported the Petrsburg Elks and ladies did themselves proud and put on one of the best affairs of the year
 Brothers Hanford, Bradley and Smith almost broke a button in giving the members a very fine feed of chop suey with refreshments and Brother Smith did an excellent job of filling the shoes of his re- lation, namely Trade and Mark, by doing two things at one time.
 Ladies night was well attended April g. Mrs. H. H. Hungerford had high score for the ladies, Mrs Virgil Newman low For the men, Rudolph Koch was high and Frank Webb, low. Seeing that Walter Walters is so versatile that he can win both high and low prizes most of the time he will play host for the next two weeks.
 Students, don't forget our essay contest that will continue into next week. Remember $10, $5 and $250 from the local order with a chance off the big prize of 5000 $500 and $250.

Curly forgot the bass drum ti-ti- dum-ti-dum. The Women's Chorus was new that year, and. altho only one was a blonde, Leo began to take his Baritone sharps and flats more seriously right off. But not even that could offset the eompeti- ton created by that youngster in the front row who champed the erackly ice cream cone and then went down the aisle to the tune Of Dear Land of Home" for some can dy in a cellophane bag.

 The Wrangell Male Chorus is four years old this Spring. In retrospect, the growing pains don't seem too l bad; but, do you remember the first year we appeared. It was Music Week in May 1898. There were only 12 of us then. And Casey in- sisted on writing the words to Who l Did?" on the floor of the stage in the ANB Hall. Even then he put David in the lions den and had Dan- iel playing the harp!
 In 739 we really had trouble. Our | Director has had crows feet and a i furrowed brow ever since.

We had to pay Jack Blackburn not to sing with Us and as a crowning dilemma the LIGHTS WENT QUIT! Curly g movie proves how that catastrophe distorted our complexions and our hilarities.
 The Rev Arnold Krone gave us three-week headache in 1940, by
 taking trip inst when we were whipping ourselves into shape. He came back just as the curtain went up, nicely tanned and rested but too hoarse to do much for the sec ond tenors. And that's the year Vir- gil asserted himself. As Grandfatth- CTS Clock was about to Stop

On the Eastern coast of the United
States the blue crab is the most
important of the species used for
food. Its range is from Massachu-
setts to the extreme southern part
of Texas and as far as northern
South America. The South and
Middle Atlantic States produce 80
per cent of all the crabs taken in
the United States. From Maryland
and Virginia about 81 1,5l2,537 pounds
were taken from Chesapeake Bay.
Grabs are sold as hard shells. soft
crabs or as fresh crab meat or
canned. Each year the demand
grows greater.
Few who order soft-shell crabs
know they are molting and actually
in very low state of vitality. Before
a crab has reached maturity it out
