The Welfare Committee found
that the sick benefit plan In op-
GRAFTON at UE Local TOT, Cleve-
land, Ohio, to be the most prac-
teal and desirable for Local 755

pay to every member on the sick
list, $500 per week, and at no
added cost to the membership.
Funds for the sick benefit plan

funds will be based on the monthly

capita payments.
This benefit program Of Local
755 is another service the Union

bership. ALI of us at times, need
every cent that we can lay our
hands on, and a $500 weekly
check. when we are laid up would
be very convenient. Join the UE

By Mary Hartman

We wonder what is holding the
girls back in Building 6? BY the
way things r going the girls at
Delco are going to be behind the
ell-known eight ball.
TO date, the management Of
Delco has offered the girls on
the incentive system, nothing.
The girls on hourly rated jobs
have been offered very little.
Girls, are you going to take
this sort of treatment without
doing anything about it? Come
on, join the UE and get In the
Union fight for increased rates.
It is up to the girls at Delco
to organize and show the manage
ment that the girls of Delco are
not children" of General
Motors. Girls, think of the benefits
the Union has gained for you in
the past, without your support.
To mention a few benefits the
Union has gained for you, time
and one-half for over eight hours,
time and one-half for over forty
hours. Vacation with pay. which
you received last year, at no cost
to you girls who are not members
of the Union.
Through the Grievance Pro-
cedure in effect at Delco, sew
eral groups of girls have had
their jobs refined, and through
negotiations, have received
back pay for jobs that were
not properly rated.
So come, girls, get in the Union
with the men, and have a 1000
Union shop at Delco. Join the
Union, and fight for increased
wages.

Blast MGR
fovoritism toward
EIU boys
BY Robert L. Bennett,
President Local SO7

A great many grievances have
come to our attention the past
few weeks regarding the discrim-
nation and persecution against
members of the UE by the fore
men of the MGR. Also the repre-
sentatives of the company union
are indulging in this practice. We
were aware of this happening in
certain departments for some time,
but did not know that it had be-
come widespread throughout the
shop.
Such being the case, which we
can verify. It looks as though the
management must know of these
practices, and evidently is en-
couraging this practice to some
extent. There is a court order
forbidding the MGR from discrim-
mating against ANY Of their EN-
ployees belonging to any Labor
organization.
Such being the case, it Is now
up to the management Of MGR to
put a stop to all discrimination
against CIO members, and also to
see that the company union rep
resentatives stay on their own job.
We object to the EIU representa-
tives running all over the shop,
and selling their "phoney" union
to the employees during working
hours. -.

Warning! MGR workers!
These rumOrs are spread as a
desperate, last ditch attempt
to bolster the failing dornina-
ton of the EIU. They are
spread because the ETU knows
it is not satisfying the work
ers, and must have some way
to try to keep them out of the
union at al.
A look at the record of the
UE-CIO in Dayton, will show the
good this union is doing the
workers in these shops. The Com
pany union big-wigs, Irwin "Fifty-
Dollar" Delscamp and Harry
big Shot" Creamer, must be
crying on each others shoulders
over the ground their outfits
have lost in Dayton.
Think Of II! Delco, Frigid-
aire, Chrysler Airtemp, IN
land Rubber, and now, Brown

If Delscamp and Creamer had
put up a strong, bona-fide union,
they would have held their mem
bership. But as conditions got
from bad to worse, the people
woke up and began to join the
UE-CIO in droves!

Of Interest to Women

e. What causes the skin to be ex- cessively greasy and full of black heads and pimples? How can the condition be remedied?
 A. The condition is sometimes caused by careless washing, or by eating too much pastry, candy, or other rich foods. Sometimes 1t is due to causes affecting the general health. Try washing the face thor oughly twice daily with soap lather made of good mild soap and mas sage with the finger tips, rubbing in the soap. Rinse with warm water and apply ice water as an aStringent. If the blackheads and pimples are large and very noticeable, remove them with a blackhead remover after first washing the face with very warm water. If the elimination ot improper dietary habits and this simple treatment do not help, 1t is wise to consult 6 physician.

 "It,s nonsense to remember your age," Miss Gateson said when found recently on the set of You'll Never Get Rich," where she was playing an important comedy role. "When was 30 I made 8 resolution. It was to forget to count my years. And I've stuck to 1t.
 If I think of age at all, 1t is to place myself vaguely in the Ter rife Thirties or the Fascinating Forties. So many women go coy or bitter after thirty. They go jellyfish and give up. I don't be- lieve in that. The minute I show signs of getting grim, my best friend tells me so. And I snap out of it-but fast.
 T try, too, to keep in corking good physical condition. Play lots of tennis to tone my muscles, watch my weight and eat sei1sibly. l play mothers and matronS SO much on the screen, I always rush into shorts for tennis and work at being sup. pie and unstuHy."

 You have only to look at Miss Gateson to see how effective her routine is. She radiates verve; she walks gracefully, moves easily. Her figure Is excellent, her carriage erect but not stiff. Her natural gaiety may have been made more perma- nent by her training in musical comedy. Before the films nabbed her, she was Broadway star. Her clotheS-senSe Is superb.

 Miss dateson does not believe in conforming with styles which are not becoming or loading up with masses of clothes that do not as. Semble well. And among her many fashion tricks is one she calls her "hanky geg". For those favorite dark, basic dresses, she has Q quick change trick played with three iden. tical 1llmy fandkerchiefs. One she gathers into a frou-frou and pins at the neckline. The other two she folds catty-corner nad knots around her wrists for cuffs.
