Dearborn Shows
Way TO Detroit
In Land Sales
BY JAMES II. INGLIs

Unlike the Detroit city govern
ment, which has chosen to remain
aloof from the Scavenger sale
Dearborn officials are pressing
their rights under the statewide
land auction to obtain space for
parks. Fairgrounds, municipal
parking lots. schools and sites for
public buildings.
Dearborn has authorized its
representatives to bid on AL scav-
enger properties with a total as
sessed valuation of 1000 while
Detroit is planning to obtain only
Isl parcels with an estimated
valuation of less than 100000.
Mayor Jeffries and Common
Council have clamped the lid on
the Department of Parks and Rec
reation which sought to acquire II
needed locations for parks with a
total Of 381 acres.
MAYORS EXPLANATION
In explanation of his policy. the
mayor SdlOs
'If we are going to have a
park enlargement program, we
can secure the land In some
other way.
II am opposed to the city bid
ding against the former owners
or the people who have bought
quit claim deeds to the scaven-
ger properties.
I'VE will probably have an
other crack at this property
anyway under the provision of
the law which puts all land on
which there Is no bid back into
the hands of the state land Of
flee board"
II was then pointed out to the
mayor that the scavenger sale
would at least split up the desira-
BILE park sites selected by the
parks and recreation department
for its proposed u park locations.
"Well, maybe we just won't
have any park expansion pro-
gram then" the mayor replied.

FRIGIDAIRE
IA : . ICAL


A grievance has been filed with
the Frigidaire management to
correct an evil of long-standing,
the Medical Department. Now
through their bargaining agency,
Frigidaire employees can bring
their complaints against the sys-
tenn of medical treatment to man
agement's attention and demand
a correction of this wrong. MED
ical" for a long time has disre-
garded the most elementary con-
siderations of the employees. A
superficial examination was gen
orally enough to diagnose any in
jury or illness. Instead of treat
ment, a few words of sympathy
and a pat on the back was sup
posed to cure all ills.
What has brought the matter
to a head was the action taken by
Local 801 (UE) On the treatment
accorded an employee from Metal
Finishing, the AFL unit. This
worker had been injured so that
both legs were paralyzed. He was
laid on a cot in Medical" and left
there for four and a half hours
before receiving a doctors at
tention.
Incidents like this don't impress
Frigidaire workers with the re-
gard the company has for them.
The grievance which calls for "a
hour medical service was filed
by John DePriest, a Steward, and
Henry Stevens, Acting Com
mitteeman for 217.
A request has also been made
of the management to acquire an
ambulance so that its employees
would not have to depend on the
aggravated ambulance service in
the County.

WARNING!
Notice to DeIco Employees
BEWARE of FINGERPRINT EXPERT

It has been reported by a number of people that they
have been coerced by the fingerprint expert now operating
at Delco. You do not have to submit to coercion in the
matter of fingerprinting.
Plant management in the persons of Mr.. Paul Ruther-
ford, factory manager, and MIR. Lou Lohrey, personnel di-
rector, plainly stated to the Negotiating Committee, that it
was not compulsory for anyone at Delco to have their finger
prints taken. Your photograph is all that is necessary in the
way of Identification in the shop.
The FBI when contacted by the UE plainly stated that
there was no law, as yet, that made fingerprinting COM
pulsory at Delco. The Union at Delco feels that whenever it
is the law to submit to fingerprinting, the membership will
do 50 willingly to the United States Government, not to
Delco.
Don't. forget, that when you are called down to have
your picture taken, that the "fingerprint expert" will try to
work on you. Evidently he is working on a piece rate basis.

E. ]. Kraft, president of Delco
Local 755, Marvin Miniard, finan-
cial secretary of Frigidaire Local
801, and Arthur L. Garfield, Inter-
national UE Representative, met
with officials of General Motors
in Washington, D. c. last week.
The committee demanded q
retroactive date of April %,
1S41 for the General Wage In
crease of fO< per hour for all
employees of General Motors
organized under the banner of
the UER&MWA. The committee
also discussed the other econlnic
issues involved in the National
agreement.
The membership of the Packard
Electric Company, UE Local 732
Of Warren, Ohio, voted at their
meeting Sunday, May A, 1941 the
following demands:
1. A Toe per hour general
wage increase for all m
ployees.
z. Two weeks vacation with
pay for all employees.
3. 1920 bonus for night
workers. r..
4. Time and one-half for all
Saturday work.
5. Additional compensation
for draftees.
The membership of UE Local
TT, Sunlight, Warren, Ohio, held
. special membership meeting at
200 p. M. Friday, May 2, 1871.
The purpose of the meeting was
to support these demands. A strike
vote was taken and carried 1870
to strike. Production in the Sun
light plant was resumed at 500
p. M. Friday.
The committee feels that these
demands are justifiable due to the
INCREASED COST of LIVING,

and the INCREASED PROFITS of
GENERAL MOTORS.

NCR-EIU
CONT RACT
SMELLS

With the UE signing contract
after contract calling for general
wage increases, the MGR Company
Union last week completed nego-
tlations with no attempt made to
secure a wage increase.
The MGR employees, members
OF the EIU, at a special meeting
TO hear the contract, rejected 1t.
Creamer, President of the ETH.
In true AL fashion, then sign
ed it.
The overwhelming majority of
the employees first learned about
the contract after an announce
ment had been published in the
local papers.
The biggest issue i'm the nego-
tiations was the demand for a
general wage increase of Toe per
hour. This would have added
sos per year to each employees
earnings. Instead the company
union 'negotiators' allowed this
to be bargained off for a slight
advance In the vacation policy,
reducing the two-week vaca-
ton grant to employees from
10 down to S years.
This was granted to keep the
employees Satisfied. However,
it is having an opposite effect.
The MGR workers are up in arms
over this sellout. Two years ago,
they took a cut in wages which as
yet has not been restored to
them.
The answer to the contract is
a rush of membership into the
UE to bring MGR back to its
former position of n of the
better paying concerns in the
community, a position which
has steadily gone lower and
lower as the UE has made ad-
vances in all other plants.
The EIU is boasting about get
ting a so bonus for all night
shift workers something that has
been in effect for sometime, ex-
cept the General Service Men. We
are asking the company union
why these men are completely
ignored. These men deserve a
night bonus the same as the other
night workers.

L spede Seed
Should Be Suved

Farmers of Holmes County will
have an opportunity the coming
months to save lespedeza seed and
10 guaranteed a reasonable price.
The season has been good on les
pedeza and it should make a good
seed crop. Many farmers are cut
ting their ~lespedeza early for hay and
permitting it to come back out and
produce a seed crop. The seed crop
will be lighter than it would have
been had the le~spedeza not been cut
for hay, but where hay is needed this
is a fine way to handle the situation.
Good common l~espedeza produces
from 200 to 500 pounds per acre and
can be harvested with several meth
DDS. The best one, of course, being
the use of a combine. The lespedeza
pan is a good method where a small
acreage is involved The pan is
fastened to the cutter blade and as
the ~lespedeza is cut it passes yer
the pan into which the seed drop.

Studying Beef

On last Friday, August 20, far

a second tour to Tate and Pamela
Counties for the purpose Of studying
beef cattle management.
Points stressed by Mr.. Morrison.
Manager Of the Tate and Pamela Live
stock Association, we're: l. Controlled
breeding from May / to August l..
2. Cattle on the pasture without
shelter during the winter months
should be fed 40 pounds of silage
and one pound Of cotton seed meal
or cake per day. In the summer
months as soon as the calves will eat
grain, it is recommended that grain
be fed in a self feeder, never per-
hitting it to become empty for best
results. 3. A mineral mixture Of one
part oyster shell flour, n part steam
bone meal, one part common salt
should be placed in a covered con-
tainer in the pasture available to the
cattle or any other farm livestock at
all times. This mixture, if you wish
to buy it already mixed, will cost
about $500 per hundred. II you
care to mix your W mineral, you
can shave this price some. 4. Calves
are rounded up three times in the
spring and all that are found are
vaccinated at each round up, the
first round up after they are born.
Dehorning, castrating, va~ccinating
for black leg and Hemorrhagic Sep
ticemia, and pink eye are the jobs
done at each round up. The first
