Trenton, \. 1.-THE officers of Local
Union A. were kept busy at our meet
ing last Friday evening
a check for 100000. insurance bene.
fit for our late Brother Frank Linden
thai was received and sent to his
widow. We are always glad when we
can forward the full amount. How
much would your beneficiary receive if
YOU We're called now? Some, We are
sorry To say would rather chisel few
cents and have their beneficiary lose
dollars at Il time when ii is so badly
needed. One brothers family did not
receive anything on that account.
Rules are rules and must be enforc-
cd. If you are not familiar with them,
ask your shop collector, or ask your
secretary for the latest copy of the
Constitution and read Section 1913
Another matter which we would like
10 call to your attention is attendance
at our meetings. We think you will
agree that education is of utmost i'm
portance in any movement. but how
are you to get education along union
lines if you do not attend your local
union meetings. We know from per-
sonal experience that any amount OF
excuses can be thought of, but after
all, they are only excuses. Is it un-
reasOnable to ask every member 10
attend at least one meeting a month.
Many organizations fine their members
S1.O0 if they do not attend one meeting
month. Do you think Local A. should
do the same?
I We viii soon be in our new hall,
! with no steps to climb and Ia,IGn
eOzier atmosphere. We hope ii Will be
an inducement to some of our brothers
to attend our meetings Don't leave all
| the work for the other fellow To do
and criticize him when he has done his
best. feeling that you could have done
| it so much better. The only one who
never makes Il mistake is the one
who does nothing.
| Let Us be honest with ourselves and
with others, that is what is needed at
all times and especially in this emerg-
ency. We can all deceive ourselves
much easier than we can deceive 9th
erS Nations are deceiving themselves
TO the point that they have declared
war on peace loving nations. The
press. as of whole is trying to deceive
our people by stating that labor is
responsible for our unpreparedness. IT
! labor does get time and One-half for
overtime what is that compared with
the salaries those on the other side of
the social calendar are getting and will
continue to get when the war is over?
We urge everyone TO invest all they
can in Defense Bonds every week so
that if we have to go through another
depression like we did after the first
World War. we will have something to
fall back on. Saving now will help to
keep prices down, spending more than
we need, will help them TO rise.
We hear that the mouldmaker who
left our plant to work in Il non-union
shop two months ago, regrets it now.
He would have been better off today
| it he had been satisfied with 40 hours
in one pottery instead of trying to
work in two, as our mouldmakerS
have been getting six hours overtime
for several weeks.
We have informed him if he secures
work in Il union shop and pays all back
dues and assessments due the local
since he left the Mutual he will be
granted a transfer. Some feel We are
