We have been taught that loyalty
always pays, but it doesn't mean
a thing at the Leland. When an
employee, who had been LOYAL
for a great many years asked for
a raise, he was told that he ought
to be glad that he's got a job! Such
appreciation is touching, indeed.

Letter To The UE

For the past two and one-haf months, the Ma
tional, District and Local leadership of this Union has
been preparing for the coming period of contract nego-
tiations. During the next six months we must renew
our contracts with General Electric, Westinghouse,
General Motors, Allis Chalmers, Phelps Dodge, RCA
and hundreds of other smaller companies and upon
the outcome of these negotiations will depend the con-
ditions and welfare of more than 300, 900 out of $4,000
employees of our industry now covered by contract.
Grave problems confront us as we enter this
critical period. Our responsibility to contribute the
utmost to our countrys war against fascism demands
that we protect to the full the interests of the member
ship, those who are making and will make the tanks
and planes and guns and ships, with which victory will
be won. Our task will be complicated by the inroads
unrestricted profiteering is making upon the health
and welfare of our people, by the unequal burden OF
il-considered taxation, and in some instances by the
short-sighted opposition of industrial interests who
wish to place the entire burden of war upon the work
ing man.
In order to contribute our full strength to
victory, we must, in the negotiations to come, make
secure the health and living standards of our member
ship, and secure also the continued existence and
influence of our Union.
We are uniting our own ranks in preparation for
these tasks. We will unite as well with our sister
Unions of the Go who face problems in the mass pro-
duction industries.
We call upon every local Union to complete
organization in its own plant as its contribution to
our national preparations for the tasks ahead. We call
upon every local Union to build a spirit of Union
solidarity and discipline among the workers OF our
industry which will insure the success of the UE in
meeting our responsibilities to our membership and
to or country.
Fraternally yours,
Albert J. Fitzgerald,
General President

 She couldn't let him go like this' without at least Seeing him again, She seized upon the only pretext she could think of on the spur Of the moment: Wait a minute Tom" And when he halted in- uuiringly, "I1l be at the station to see you off in the morning"
 She lay awake for hours, shaken and confused, trying to sort out her emotions and reactions. She knew that Tom still loved her, He had betrayed himself when he kissed her. And she knew how it hurt to love someone hopelessly.
 There was still something that she could do to right things. But 1t took courage-unselfish courage. She drew a deep breath.
 She'd go down to the station in the morning and tell Tom she'd marry him. Marry him the next time he was home on furlough. or go to his camp some weekend and marry him there and then wait for him until the war was over.

Sometimes, waking in the night, Enid would get up to see that the baby was covered, and drop furtive kiss on the downy soft pink face, and wonder fearfully what she was going to do when they were all gone.
 But she didn't have much time to brood over that. There were a hundred things to be done in that short week, and Enid helped with all of them. Clothes to be packed, hampers of food to be pre- pared, last-minute shopping err rands. And at last, the morning when Enid watched them stow the last bit of luggage in the trailer. pack themselves in the sedan, and with fearful smiles and much handwriting drive away.
 It wasn't until she came home from work that night that the real impact of her aloneness hit her. The house wasn't home at all without welcoming lights in the living room and the savory smell of supper cooking in the kitchen She felt like a castaway on a desert island.
 Forlornly she set about getting her own meal, and putting the disordered rooms of the house to rights. Dusting the living room she came upon Toms picture which Nom almost defiantly had kept in its place on the mantel The sight of the smiling, cheerful face brought another stab oi homesickness to Enid.
 She wondered now how sht could have been unhappy in tho old days with Nom and Pop hert at home, Lefty and the chiidrer where she could see them when ever she chose. and Tom coming every night to take her out sona' place.

 The dance was in the loft of the old National Guard Armory.

 And yet she was glad when the evening was over, glad when Tom. apparently obliyious to Daisy's entertainments, refused an invita- ton to ride along with the Arm strongs, and hailed a taxi for him. self and Enid.
 It was nice to be alone with him in the intimate darkness ol the cab. Nice to feel his hand close over one of hers and presi 1t warmly. But he made no move beyond that gesture. They talked about his life at camp. He asked her to write to him. He said q was darned Lonesome SO far from home.

 If was a break for Phil and Let ev. the first real break they'd ever had.
 A friend of Phil's who had gone out to California months before had written urging Phil to come put there, too. He had job for him in an airplane factory, and Phil could go to work as soon as he got there at wages that seemed fabulous to him and Lefty
 "Some of the other boys from the shop are going, too" Phil ex- plained.
 "Tom?" Enid asked with sudden alertness.
 Phil looked at her queerly. "No. Tom enlisted in the army month ago. Didn't you know?"
 Enid's face flushed scarlet. She knew they had all been wondering what had happened between her and Tom.
 It was Lefty who saved her from further embarrassment, her faded eyes bright and shining, and bubbling over with excited plans.
 She was saying eagerly to Nom,
 q want you and Pop to come cut and visit us just as soon as we get settled"
 Nom dabbed at her red eyes, She was trying to be gallant. but the thought of Lefty and the chil- dren going so far away filled her with panic. She was sure some- thing terrible would happen to them.
 Lefty paused, struck by a sud den inspiration. Mon - just thoughtl Why couldn't you and Pop go with us now2 We're driy' lng. TheTed be room in the car"
