Owning Your
Union Home
BY George G. Mathews,
UE Local 755

The advantages of a Local as
large as Delco 755 owning it's own
home are many. The principles of
a Union are in the main, the social
and economic security of it's MEM
bers. Job security through the
seniority clause, and future social
security through the maintenance
of living standards are the greatest
of the multiple advantages of Or
ganization.
After this War is won, there will
be another period of strain upon
the financial well being of every
worker in the change back to
customary production At this
time, your Union will need a re-
serve fund to carry on the work
of protecting your jobs AND
YOUR WAGES!

violation of agreement be rectified,

mo" Believe me when this war
is finally won, the people of
America can and must take their
hats off to Organized Labor.
The eighth wonder to me is that
there have been so few so-called
wildcat strikes in this country, be-
cause what the men who are or
gained against big business in this
country have been taking since
giving up the right to strike, would
try the patience of saints. Big
Business certainly is not doing
anything to win the war that they
are not forced to do. AS a mater of
fact, in their burning desire to
wreck Unionism, and have their
own way they are retarding the
war effort immeasurably. When a
man is mad he cannot do his best
and believe me, a good big ma
jority of people working in these
plants are mad, good and mad,
clear to the roots. Don't take our
word for it, ask some friend of
yours who agreed to a signed con-
tract with the people he works
for and expected them to live up
to it. Of course, in the Dayton
area, you will have to put your
question to a General Motors
employee.
BONDS BUY BOMBS -!
, 1942-10-14

If you invest a small part of
the CASH BENEFITS that your
Union has won through negotia-
tons in your Locals home, you
will again benefit in two ways.
You will have your money re-
turned in a short time through the
procedure of your Local buying
back your share with the money
formerly used as rent. You will
also be a part owner of Delco UE
755 Hall, and you will have the
added advantage of having a solid
protective organization without the
cost of rent during the period of
adjustment that will come after
the War.
The cost of a membership in the
Local 755 campaign is very small
in view of the benefits that every
one of us has received during the
past several years, and your
Steward is the proper person to
contact If you really appreciated
what your Union has done to help
YOU!

At the great Eighth Annual
Conference of the UE-CIO, held
in Cleveland last month, a reso-
luton was passed, after consid-
cradle debate, which demanded
the opening of an offensive in
Europe Immediately in order to
smash the Hitler forces on two
fronts. Now comes Wendell Wilkie,
after a detailed "on-the-spot" in
vestigation of the worlds battle
fronts, with his typical fortnight
utterances, urging that the United
Nations take the offensive without
delay, because next summer may
be too late"
We do not have to be a mem
Der of Mr.. Wilkes party, in order
to appreciate the keenness, and
accuracy of his many first-hand
observations, and his "this-is-my-
opinion" way of expressing them.
Wilkie, on leaving China, after
having travelled through ID
countries remarked, "the ordinary
people want a chance at the end
of the war to live in liberty and
independence"
Willkie urged that the United
Nations take the offensive in a
military, as well as in a political
way. We are inspired to see
this happening. The giving up
of extra-territorial rights in China
is a big step towards showing the
ordinary people" we mean bust
ness about the Atlantic Charter,
and the four freedoms. The pres
tige of the United States should
assert itself in helping to solve the
problem of granting democratic
rights to the people of India, and
we at home must insure these
same rights for the negro people
of our nation.
The Presidents special envoy
has set the appeasers and fifth
columnists back on their heels
with his fighting, aggressive state
ments. Let us hope that without
delay the air armada which is now
destroying the production centers
of H~itlerized Germany will be
followed by a land offensive, COM
ing to the immediate aid of our
brave Russian allies. The Hitler
armies are stuck fast thanks to the
courage, and fortitude of the men,
women, and children of that ma
ton. The immediate opening of a
second front in Europe is our
number n job. The nerve center
of world aggression and Fascism
is Berlin. 1t must and can be
smashed NOW, by dividing and
destroying the Hitler armies on
two fronts! You have pledged to
do the producing. Our soldiers are
ready and eager to do the fight
ing. The politicians and career
men" standing the way should be
removed
