Arsenal Strike

Here Is the telegram OF r, j
Thomas, president of the UAW
ClO condemning the walkout a.
the Hudson naval ordnance plant
81 am informed that workers
at the Hudson arsenal plant
walked off their jobs today be-
cause they refused 10. work with
II Negro workers who have been
transferred to one department
OF the arsenal In line with their
seniority rights and as the re-
suit Of completion of their up
grade period.
This walkOut II n fiagrant
violation Of the constitution Of
the UAW-CIO. More than that.
ID amounts to sabotage Of our
war effort and plays into tho
hands OF the enemies of our
nation.
VICIOUS RACE PREJUDICE
"The UAW-CIO constitution
has been violated by a display
OF vicious race prejudice, Our
constitution provides for safe
guarding the rights Of all our
members irrespective of their
race or creed. The wslk0ut also
violates the section Of our con-
stitution which provides there
can be no strikes or cessation Of
work except on authorization OF
the International union.
"The walkout at the Hudson
Arsenal is also n direct violation
of the pledge our union has
given President Roosevelt that
there will be no strikes for the
duration of the war.
THEY FACE EXPULSION
Inform the Hudson workers
who are staying away from work
that they face expulsion from
the union unless they return to
work at once. Inform them also
that where any workers are dis
charged because of their partic-
ipation In unauthorized walkouts
the international union will not
intercede for their reinstate-
ment.
''In the interest Of the nation
and of our international union l
urge the Hudson arsenal work
ers to return to their jobs at
once"

Modern Thief Drop S
Wallets In Mail Box

The pickpocket OF today IS smart
er than the pocket pilferer OF years
gone BY, and a great deal more
consldera;e. Al least this is the
opinion Of a few recent victims of
the gents who ply their trade in
crowded stores, on street cars, in
parks and other places where large
crowds gather.
Years ago the old "jos,le' trick
was employed by mos, Of the long
fingered gentry who earned their
living by the sweat Of some one
eEe's brow. The "jostle" was
nothing more than a false stumble
OF the pick-pocket against his in
tended victim. Many was the vic
tim who was accidentally showed
by a stranger, who apolosized and
went on his Way-WIih the other
fellows billfold And the victim
never discovered his loss until he
later offered 10 pay for something
or turn his earnings over 10 the
lille woman. Not only did he lose
his money, but the wallet in most
cases, was never returned, and the
loser lost besides his cash. valu-
able papers and other keepsakes
one carries abound in ones pocket
book.
Today's pickpocket is different.
He pliers your pockets with fnesse.
He does not shove or stumble, for
he has perfected the art OF run
ming his long fingers lightly into
your pockets and extracting the
b!llfold while discussing the war,
baseball or whatever topic you are
interested in. When you miss your
wallet you just don't believe that
nice fellow" you met on the street
car could do a thing like that.
And if you wait a few days your
pocketbook is returned via United
States mail, The thief doesn't send
you the empty wallet After emp
tying it he drops it into the nearest
mailoox and the postman picks it
up when he makes his rounds. The
thief is consideraie enough to leave
in the pocketbook your identf-
cation card, drivers license. social
security card and everything else
Except the money! including Mar
ge's telephone number after all.
this stuff would be very embarrass-
ing to him If the long arm of the
law should happen TO reach out and
grab, hin)
The>mailman takes the found"
wallet to>a certain department of
the post Office. from where it is
mailed 10 you at a ten cents hand
ling charge. My\pailman told me
Monday that he finds>on an average
OF half a dozen pocketbooks a
month. Most OF these, he>said, are
taken from a mailbox at Benton
and Beaubien streets. In his opin-
ion. the finger workers ride either
the Charlevoix or Beaubien and
Harper cars, gather their loot and
then DROP the pocketbooks in the
mailbox a block from where they
leave the car.
Sometimes" the mailman said,
"the thief gets careless in his search
Of the Stolen wallet. In one Of the
pocketbooks found in the mailbox
we later found $40 bill and in
another we found 81 sealed up in
a small envelope We always mail
the billfolds and their contents to
the address found in them"
If your pocket has been picked,
have patience and watch the mails.

More than 200 bombers were used,

This was the second aerial blow

over the Channel to France.
Canadian flyers returning from

it to the RATS 1000 plane raids for
