I feel that every member at
Delco should become acquainted
with the many advantages that
organization has brought to our
plant.
First, there are the many in
creases in wages that every
worker has shared in. The rising
costs of living will, in the future,
necessitate further increases. These
may be gained in only one way.
The complete unity Of every
worker, placing the full voice of
labor at Delco behind the negoti-
ating committee.
Second, the Delco local, leading
the field of progress in Dayton,
has inaugurated the Delco Welfare
Fund. This, provides for the pay
ment of five dollars per week,
for a period not to exceed ten
weeks, to any paid up member
who is so unfortunate as to lose
time through illness.
Third, the Delco local has always
fought for the rights of every
worker, maintaining equality in
privileges throughout the shop.
Any worker is entitled to the help
and support of our Union. There
fore, we ask that every worker
protect this support by giving full
cooperation and backing to your
negotiating committee.

TO The Editor:

I wish to make the following
statement to clear up any mis-
apprehensions regarding my po-
litical affiliations.
I am not affiliated with any
political party, machine or faction.
Therefore: I am not or will not
be under obligation to any party,
machine or faction if I am elected.
My first duty, if I am elected
will be to protect the best interests
of the everyday person, regard
less of race, color, creed Or politi-
cal affiliations. AS you know, the
City Commission, is composed of
five men. Up to now, the Common
man" has never been represented
on the City Commission. We all
know that the working people
of Dayton bear the brunt of all
the taxes of the city. It is only
fair and just that "the little man"
have representation along with
Big Business on the Commission
We pay our share of the govern
ment, therefore it is only common
sense to see that we have a voice
in the affairs of our City Govern
ment.

TO The Ladies

If there is anything that warns
the heart of an overworked editor,
it is the cooperative spirit of the
ladies. They want to know-they
insist on knowing-what they can
do to help the Union. By some
instinct, known only to themselves,
they seem to sense the, fact that
your editor-even though he is
filled with hat ambitious energy
common to Americans 80 can
find time to do only so many
tasks. Others must be neglected.
The ladies' auxiliaries can do
many things to help the great
cause we cherish. They can ar
range such things as teas, picnics,
hay rides, bridge parties and other
pleasurable pursuits for week
ends and holidays that will help
to cement the friendship of many
families. They can set up an
educational background to en-
tighten the public on the mean
ing of Trade Unionism-what it
does for its members, how their
living standards are raised and
how, by closer cooperation be-
tween family groups, those STAN
dards already gained are upheld.
Yes the ladies can prove
invaluable to their Union in many
ways. And, it goes without say
ing, your editor will welcome with
open arms the assistance of such
worthy members.

Back pay
for Moroine
Products

A grievance amounting to three
days back pay for every worker
on the third shift was settled
satisfactorily between the Union
Shop Committee and the Moraine
Products management last week.
The grievance arose out Of a
misinterpretation of Paragraph 48,
Page 20 in the National UE-GM
contract, which calls for double
time for Sundays. The employees
were brought in Midnight on two
successive Mondays and Midnight
following Labor Day. This accord
ing to the regular established
work week is Sunday for the third
shift. The workers were paid at
straight time.
An alert committee and a fair
minded management settled the
matter as soon as 1t was brought
UP. The settlement of this grie-
vance has awakened many
Moraine workers to the value of
a collective bargaining agency and
for making It stronger.

For example, if a family moved
out at the end of the second year
after having maintained it's four
room house in perfect condition
and after having found a family
to take it's place Immediately, it
would get back about one hun
dred and twenty-eight dollars of
the three hundred and sixty
dollars it paid in during the year.
Breakdown: thirty-five dollars
and four cents as half of the
amortization payments, seventy
two dollars as the entire main
tenance and repair reserve,
eighteen dollars as half of the

vacancy reserve, and two dollars
and fifty-eight cents as one quar-
ter of the general reserve fund
assuming hat the company had
not been forced to dip into this
fund.-. In effect, therefore, this
family under these conditions,
pays only about nineteen dollars
a month, -four dollars and seven
ty-five cents per room) for the
preceding years housing. A
figure encouragingly close to the
average twelve dollars and nine
ty-two cents per unit per month
paid for comparable housing in

wishes to terminate its contract

of the second year would be about
seventy-four dollars, which would
reduce its net monthly housing

The most important reason why
we need Ben Cromwell for City
Commissioner is because he has
always been an outspoken ex-
ponent for closer relationship be-
tween the city government and
the citizens of Dayton. He doesn't
believe in closing his eyes to the
conditions that now exist-city
finance and policy administration
which remains a secret except to
those who attend commission
meetings, poor traffic control, the
practice of favoritism by those
who perform services, inefficient
promotion policies for city en-
ployees and lack of a fair wage
and retirement system, disease
bearing slum eye-sores.
Ben Cromwell is the kind of
man who will not only insist in
bringing up these d~isgraceful con-
ditions at all commission meetings,
but keep everlastingly on the
subject until he gets ACTION. He

Marseilles an Example.
French officials in Marseilles, for
example, believe there were more
than 100000 persons in the city. A
census for rationing purposes showed
less than 100000, a difference that
would have thrown mortality rates
one-fourth out of line. Whole areas
have been cleared or crowded, as
the waves of conquest rolled over the
continent. Millions of refugees have
taken to the road, millions of men
have been shifted about as war pris-
oners or imported laborers, perhaps
another 100000 "resettlers" have
made their dreary way to new homes.
There are other difficulties. Com
munication is slow. What reporting
systems existed in rural areas often
have disappeared completely with
the collapse of governments. German
figures, fairly complete for the Reich,
show only the incidence of COM
municable disease and not the NOR
tality rates for some of the occu-
pied areas to the east, and Russia, a
reservoir of disease as we'll as raw
materials which the Germans may
also tap, has provided no health

expected to increase.
Isolated disease figures are of
little value to the laymen and even
