there is any move on to reshuffle
the clubs OF the American and

The report originated in the

saying the proposal would be con-

the interest of doing away with
long railroad jumps and overnight
trips. This was Harridge's COM

Union Council
NokeA---

AS the Council is primarily in
terested and originally formed for
the purposeaof industrial organiza-
ton, the most important of all
Council groups is the Organizing
Committee. Members of many
Locals of the CIO have volun-
teered their services for this i'm
portant task.
At this time, the greater part
of the efforts of the Organizing
Committee are devoted to the
work of bringing the great Ma
tional Cash Register Company, in
to the ranks of the CLIO.
Regularly scheduled meetings
and home visits are showing fine
results in increased membership
in MGR Local 807.
The advice of the CLIO Regional
offices in assisting the Dayton
representatives of the UE Inter-
national have been of real service
to the UE Local 8O7 membership.
It is a fine recommendation to
the unorganized to see the manner
in which CLIO workers are devot-
ing their time. So satisfied are
Union workers with the benefits
of Organization, they are spending
much of their spare time in help
ing workers in other plants to
participate in those benefits.

Chicle Situation
All Gummed Up

My jaw dropped the other day
when l learned that the United
States government was carrying on
negotiations which might interfere
with the chicle importations to the
United States. My jaw dropped
and if l were in the habit of chew
ing gum, the gum might have
dropped, symbolically. For what
would the millions of jaws of the
millions of American gum chewers
do if the chicle supply stopped?
They would stop. too, and so would
an industry which earned SCI, 900. 900
the year of the last census and
probably much more since.
Why should this trickle of chicle
be stopped? Well, the answer is, it
won't be stopped but it may be
ENTHUSIASTICALLY. 1t seems that a
chiclero, one who makes the chicle
trickle from the tree down in Gen.
trail America and Mexico, could if
he would. apply his art to the cas-
tilla tree, as well. And the castillo
tree produces a very good brand of
rubber, something which we cannot
eschew. even if we cannot chew it.
Do not chuckle at my tale of
chicle. 1t is based on hard facts
which are these:
A large group Of men called
chicleros collect chicle from trees
many Of which are located in the
forests of Central America and
Mexico. They are experts. The
chicle trees grow frequently near
the castillo tree. If the chicleros
were induced to do so they might
tap the castillo as well as the
chicle and thus obtain for America
some of the raw material needed to
make raw rubber.
This might cut down the chicle
supply. Nevertheless negotiations
r about to be concluded to this
end.
II they are successful it will be
another achievement of the Board Of
Economic Warfare with the aid of
the state department.

All CLUB REPORT
Gregg Jones, reporter

The Rosebud Mountain Gar
den club has finished their first
project. We made a hotbed IL
feet long, four feet wide and
80 inches deep. We put in 20
inches of strawy manure, and
eight inches of dirt. We installed
a subirrigating system by plac-
ing two rows of tin cans par
allel to each other, under six
inches of dirt. At each end we
placed the cans upright so we
could pour the water into the
can at the surface, and it would
seep out all through the hotbed.
We leveled the surface of the
bed with a carpenters level,
then planted the seeds very
carefully.
The plants are growing nice
ly and each member of the club
will get plants for his garden.
There will be some extra plants
which we will sell to help pay
for the seeds planted.
