PoternoIism At
MGR ??

Could it be that the source of
the fine hand of paternalism at
MGR is not home town, but an
imported article? According to
a recent issue of PM, New York
newspaper, National Krupp Reg
lister Kassen Of Germany is owned
one hundred percent by Krupp
of Germany and National Cash
Register Company of Dayton,
Ohio, USA!
The Krupp armament company
operates hand in hand with I. G.
Farben company Germany with
the same officers in both COM
panies. According to the Temporary
National Economic Committee of
the 18th Congress, I. C. Farben
was in cahoots with Standard Oil
(USA), with agreements, patents,
etc., about synthetic rubber.
The Krupp Works are famous
for PATERNALISM! For example,
it is possible to be born, live, work,
and die without leaving company
grounds. Company houses, hos
pitfalls, schools, and newspapers
close the circle. IF the police are
tough, the roofs leaking, and the
meals disgusting, you could not
protest or leave.
By German law, MGR must
associate with a Germany Com
pany! BUT WHY PICK KRUPP?
IL Krupp is to be the front office
model of National Cash Register,
it is time that ALL employees be-
come a part of the only organiza-
ton able to whip this horrid ex-
ample. Let's all get together and
whip this example,, no matter
which side of the water it is on!

Proposal

Through a Rate Committee
meeting, rate adjustments have
been presented to the Company
to cover a number of production
workers. The Company has offer
ed a two-cent adjustment which
the membership rejected. The
membership further decided to
take the matter into Cancellation,
as the next step and if necessary,
to the War Labor Board.
The employees Of Gondert &
Lienesch are on War work, but
are receiving very low wages as
compared to other factories in
the Dayton area.
A ten cent rate adjustment has
been asked by the workers when
the matter goes to Cancellation,
but the Company has offered only
two cents as their best they can
do, unless the Office of Price
Administration gives them per-
mission to increase the price of
their boxes and crates.
The contract of the Gondert &
Lienesch unit of Local 768 was
recently signed providing for a
Union shop, dues deduction, two
weeks vacation clause, rate ad-
justments every sixty days, and a
contract for two years or the dur
alton of the war. Brother Roy
Grant, Chief Steward, states that
nothing will be left undone in
order to secure the adjustment
and has been backed up by the
membership, 1000.

Department 714
Beefs
BY A Local SOL Member

We in Department ia, at Frigid-
aire Plant 2, don't understand
why management laid us off on
Saturday and Sunday of last week,
in order to, have us report on
Monday, Labor Day, and then
lay us off again on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
Seems like management is rub
bling in our giving up of double
time on holidays, in order to
create dissension in our ranks.
Because some of us did not show
up on Labor Day, we received a
reprimand. We wonder what
supervision ought to get for bad
management which makes the
layoffs necessary this week, and
kept our machines idle last Sat
urday and Sunday.
We also understand that all the
machines on the Oerlikon gun job
will soon be down. Two shifts
are already off. every minute
counts!" the signs says. Wonder
when Frigidaire management will
read them! We can't eat those
signs, and our boys can't shoot
with them.

Housing
BY George c. Mathews,
UE Local 755

Every Union member of Local
755 Delco, owes it to himself to
stop in at the Recreation Hall at
20 Madison Street. Just a little
over a block from the plant, Re-
creation Hall is the scene of many
activities. On Wednesday and
Saturday nights, the Hall is jamm-
ed with the crowd of merry
makers enjoying the old fashion,
ed square dancing.
Every evening finds something
doing at Recreation Hall and the
thousands of Local 755 members
are discovering daily the advan-
tages of having the Hall situated
so near the plant.
The Housing Committee has
made plans to bring the owner
ship of the Hall to the member
ship of Local 755. The plan is
simple. Every member is asked to
buy a share in his Local Hall.
The shares will be sold at a nom

inal fee until enough money is
raised to purchase the Hall.
This is not the end of those
shares however. After the building
is purchased, the money that is
now being paid for rent will be
used to buy back those shares
from the membership.
In this manner the Recreation
Hall of Local 755 will become the
property of the membership with
out the loss of a single penny to
any member. You will have your
building, you will have your share
in your Union home, and all this
without the cost, other than your
regular dues dollar.
Every member of Local 755 of
Delco is urged to contact his or
her Steward and make arrange
ments to become a member of the
pride in Ownership" drive at
Delco.

MMacARTHUR CAPTURES
SOME JAP SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON.-GeneralM Mac
Arthur reported Saturday that in
addition to holding off the Japan
csc, his forces have been taking
some prisoners.
After a 48 hours lull, during
which the enemy made ready for
another large scale assault, there
has been sporadic fighting" he
advised the war department.
Determined efforts to infiltrade
the Batan peninsula defense line
were rebuffed, and in the course
of these actions the prisoners
were taken. AS for a number of
days past, there was virtually no
enemy activity in the air, he said.
1t was MacArthur's first report
of prisoners captured, and some
thought the effect might be to re-
strain the japanese from such
\ brutal treatment of American
prisoners as the general COM
planned of a week ago.

NC. Victory Garden Week.
Is Set For February Oh

Next week, from February 9 to
IA, has been designated as "Vic-
tory" Week" in North Carolina.
It will mark the start of a cam
paign to encourage every farm
family in the State to contribute
to the war effort of the United
Nations by producing their own
vegetable and fruit supplies.
Lean I. o. Schaub, Extension
director of N. c. State College,
says the "Victory Garden" campi-
gan is based on: (I Patriotism,
(2) economic needs, and (3)
health.
Schools; National and State
farm organizations; dealers in
seeds, fertilizers and farm sup
plies; churches; health, rural
identification and other rural
welfare agencies; bankers; and
civic clubs, chambers of COM
merce and other city and town
organizations, have been enlisted
to help agricultural agencies in
the campaign.
''T'he patriotic duty of every
family demands participation in
the Victory Garden campaign, -
Dean Schaub declared. eve
must make an extra effort this
year to grow an adequate supply
of vegetables and fruits for fam
lily needs.
because of the advancing
prices for food, the shortage OF
containers, and the increasing war
demands, more food must be pro-
duced at home. Every serving of
food produced in a Victory Gar
den saves money for the farmer
and makes available more food
for our armed forces.
"The strength of our Nation is
determined by the strength of
our people. Stronger bodies, keen
er eyesight, steadier nerves, and
greater courage can be developed
by the use of fruits and vegeta-
bles in the diet"

Auto And Tire Dealers Are
Hardest Hit. Interesting
Rotary Program

The war has already had de-
finite affect upon practically ev-
er business establishment in West
Jefferson, according to statements
made by several business men al
the Rotary club meeting last
Thursday night.
In most lines of business today,
there isn't such thing possible as
business as usual" because of ra-
tioning or priority restrictions on
many items.
Of course the automobile and
tire business has been hit the
worst. Tom Duncan reported that
except for repair and used cal
sales, the auto dealer bushes:
here is at a standstill.
Next on the scarcity list are
refrigerators are radios. Gale Nc
MILAN stated that it has been diff
ficult for the auto parts and &C
cessory firms to secure certain
important items, but declared tina
cts easing up a little"
In connection with building
building materials, Glenn Gray
heal said that with the exception
of steel, most building material
are available and that prices ar
1 more or less steady.
Levern Johnson stressed tn
fact that the government toda.
realizes more than ever the i'm
portance of having flood for free
dom" and that greater emphasi
is being placed upon increased
production of milk products, in
Guiding cheese. He also said it
getting more difficult to obtail
necessary replacement part TO
machinery and certain supple
essential to the making of cheese
such as tinfoil, which is not avail
able at all now. Another poin
that he stressed was the increas
| ing government interest in NOR
sanitation.
In other lines of business, sucl
