So, my fellow soldiers of the
home front, you can see that you
are to be penalized for your best
efforts in pay cuts, the more you
produce, the larger the cuts. The
recent raises allowed by the Com
pany, are or soon will be dis
solved by enormous cuts in piece
work prices. This, my true Amer
lean friends, is the reward for
your many hours of hard work.
Already, several have received
the AK.
In the Screw Department a cut
was attempted but miscarried, be-
cause the department was well Or
gained and the men positively
refused a pay cut.
In the Mechanical Fuze Depart
ment the cut was very effective,
because of a very weak organiza-
ton. In Punch No. 2, a 1870 cut
has been attempted but through
strengthening of organization, a
strong fight is still waging which
will eliminate in ultimate victory,
if the men in the department con
tinue their fight for a true organ
ization.
In several other departments
they are checking on all other
jobs, that will eventually turn to
pay cuts, if organization is not
enough to ward them off.
, 1942-10-01

blanks provided by the company
Those blanks are made to include
all suggestions, grievances, and
complaints.
When a suggestion is made, it
should be presented on a grievance
form. The employees should con-
tact his or her foreman, and after
requesting representation, present
the suggestion to the District Com
mitteeman. The Committeeman
will in turn present the suggestion
to the foreman.
In this manner, the Union will
have copies of all suggestions on
file, enabling them to secure a fair
disposition of ALL suggestions.
, 1942-10-01

Local 755 Committeeman feel
that this is a just request and have
the backing of the membership.
It has been proven time and again
that reviewing numerous sugges-
tons have found many to be of
sufficient merit to be approved
even after the suggestion COM
mittee has turned them down. The
suggestion plan has a great deal of
concrete added production to make
it a valuable feature for increased
War Production, BUT the lack of
adequate employee representation
is a detriment.
In the future, employees are re-
quested by the Union to turn in
all suggestions on the grievance
, 1942-10-01

The contemplated cuts throughout
the factory If allowed to go through
would place wages below the pre-
war levels.
Are you going to stand idly by,
and allow your living standard to
be lowered to that of Axis
countries? Our soldiers are fight
ing for a free and democratic
country. Will you organize to keep
it as such? Then join an organiza-
ton where you can produce the
vital war machinery for our boys
without being penalized for it. The
Company Union has but one
thought, and that is PROFITS for
the Company. They have refused
to protect the wages and rights of
the people they are supposed to
represent.
For the best unified action for
wal production and protection of
your living standards join the
UE-CIO before it is too late.

A uniform is beautiful, in a

form is just the thing when it's
spick and span, and neat.
Oily work clothes can't COM

Here are three examples that
should set the standards for a
real Union at MGR These are the
things that are happening every
day. Some workers will forget
them as soon as they are read,
others will remember, and profit
by them.
The organized shop of Dinner
Fare is example No. l. Any revis-
ion of piece work rates at Dinner
must have the approval of the
operator, the department steward,
and the Union Rate Committee.
In place of this, what do we have
at MGR?
Example No. 2. Sabotage by the
rate committee of management by
cutting rates without the slightest
arbitration. Setting a ceiling on
piece workers rates, no matter
how much they produce.
AND EXAMPLE No. 3! Passing
of Union regulations and changes
in contracts without the voting of
the membership. It is only in rare
instances that a company union
representative can answer a ques-
ton pertaining to any rules change
that has been passed.
If you like this way of bargain
ing for YOUR right, you r not
the workers with the spirit, that
thousands of your fellow workers
in Dayton believe you to be. I
don't like this way of doing bus
mess! Many more of MGR workers
than you would think possible,
feel the same way!

YOUR FAILURE TO VOTE
Is A VOTE FOR HITLER!
Is This Equality?

Some Congressional apologists
for the present soak-the-poor and
spare-the-rich tax legislation seek
to give the impression that it al
ready cuts the rich to the bone
and makes unnecessary the $4,000
limit on wartime personal incomes
proposed by the President.
But the current CLIO Economic
Outlook points out that under the
bill passed by the House a man
with an income of 100000 would
still retain $4,000; $4,000 would
be left to individuals with $780, 900;
and some millionaires would
scrape along on as much as
$35O,00O a year after all taxes.
If that is cutting to the bone"
what car be said for the job Con-
gress is doing on ordinary working
people? Most American workers
earn Sl,oOO a year or less. Gut OF
this S29-a-week income, some
$3.50 a week went to federal state
and local taxes last year. Under
the current legislation, an addi-
tional $40 a week would be taken
away, leaving the worker only
$3.50 a week to support his
family. A 10 per cent sales tax
would lop off another 81, leaving
him only $3.50 a week
How about cutting a little more
from the fat of huge incomes and
high profits and a little less from
the bone and sinew of low-income
American workers?

Make it Thrilling
Week of Surprises
for Men in Service

Want to make it thrilling
week of daily surprises for your
man in the service, this Christ
mas?
Then why not use this mex
pensive plan:
Start we'll in advance Of De-
cember 25th, with a Christmas
card lust to let you know that
Santa Claus is on his way"
Drop into the store next day
and address an already Christ
mas-wrapped package OF ciga-
rettes.
On the third day, send him
one of the cleverly designed
packages of shower-soap, pur-
chasable for dollar or less, and
on the fourth, a ready-packaged-
for-mailing box of razor blades.
The sixth day, send him a
photograph of yourself, and on
the seventh, pair of regulation
army socks marked-"do not
open until Christmas Day." con-
tanning the major gift from you
to him.
Or vary the plan to suit your
self. There are so many gifts he
can use. and so many Of them
cost so little.

compliance with service regula-

boys who are to receive them.
Even waterproof, shock proof
watches, which rate second on
ly to cartons of cigarettes, on al
most every one of the many sur
veys that have been made of the
service mans Christmas desires,
may be had at surprisingly mod
est prices, if you shop early
enough to find one of the sturdy
little models. Those with sweep
second hands are preferred but
the supply is limited. The same
is true of the small portable bat
terry operated radios, almost
equally high in favor.
And though either of these
items may come close to ex-
hausting the budget, there will
still be enough money left to
make it gifts" instead of "a
gift" if you choose to add but
one or two items from the many
others most popularity desired.
Take the items listed among
the wearables, for example, for
use in simplifying and dressing
up their regular army issues.
These include socks, shirts, un-
derwear, handkerchiefs, sweat
ers and an extra regulation CT
cap with proper service insignia.
SELECT WITH CARE
But great care must be taken
to select items satisfying the
regulations of the branch IN
which the man serves. Clerks in
Gift Canteens" and in mems
wear stores can give you accur-
ate help here.
Take those other items, which
might be characterized as the
useful, but not wearable, like
kits, shoe shining kits,
razor blades and sharpeners, pen
and pencil sets and writing kits

(o|orfuI Rugs
Lend. Charm
Always Welcome
TO Housewives

From the Numdahs-Indian
rugs-to hooked ones, chenille
ones, and shaggy types, up to
the scale to the small Orientals,
you'll find myriads OF designs
from which to choose gift for
Christmas this year.
For a playroom or rumpus
room ,r to use in room fur
nished with Early California
furniture or Early American
maple, Numdah is very fit
ting. These gayly colored rugs
come in all sizes and you can
use them in front of fireplaces,
in front of sofas, even as a wall
hanging in a rustic type room.
Men especially like them and
you'll find them very accept
able gift.
Hooked rugs. OF course, go
best with Early American furni-
ture and look very well scat
tered about the room whether
the floor is carpeted or polish
ed. The more colorful ones are
to be used against a plain rug
or a bare floor
Shaggy throw rugs are very
popular for use in living rooms,
especially those furnished in
Modern, and make splendid
gifts. They are frequently used
in front OF sofas or in front of
the fireplace.
Those soft, fuzzy Chenille and
other cotton materials that are
used for bathroom rugs are
warm and cozy TO the feet and
that is important this year. You
can get these in lovely pastel
shades to match window and
shower curtains.
Oriental designs are well suit
ed for a room furnished in ira
ditional furniture and silken
draperies, still available in
stocks, though it has been i'm
possible to import any recently.
They add to the dignity Of a
room.

The "Yuletide Priorities Ad'
ministration" gives the man IN
the armed services an exclusive
AL rating in the Christmas Gift
Giving list for this year, by pop
ular acclaim. Gift Canteens
featuring complete assortments
of gifts wanted by soldiers, sail
ors and marines have been al
lotted the most accessible shop
ping spaces in virtually all OF
the stores in town, thus making
the task of selection easy for
you.
There are two very important
things that everyone who is
planning a gift package for the
service man, must bear in mind
this year:
First, the boys have made 1t
very clear that their preference
is for small, compact and func-
tional gifts.
Second, twice the normal
mailing time must be allowed by
gift givers who want to make
sure that their packages reach
the boys before Christmas Day.
Stress on care necessary In
wrapping and addressing the
package blends in Importance
with early mailing time to in
sure prompt and accurate and
safe delivery. All of this means
there must be no delay in choos-
ing the gifts (pluraD that are TO

used deliberately, for with very
few exceptions the things the

just a single gift. Most Gift

Christmas list.
War Bonds are so easy to
shop for: Their size, color and
fit" are always right: Many
retailers, and every bank in
town has them for sale.
War Bonds are a git for the
future-because held until they
mature their value will be great
er than their actual cost.
And War Bonds are the most
tangible way of saying, Il in
giving. you in receiving this
Christmas gift, help to preserve
the joyous tradition of Christ
mas for which we're fighting
now.
Not everyone rates War
Bond-but anyone can be
started toward the purchase of
one with a Stamp Album par
TALLY filled with War Stamps in
lIlC lCll NCIlL W soO
tons; neatly encased in a fine
leather or inexpensive holder.
One of the most charming
ways of giving Christmas gift
War Stamps is in a made-up
boutonniere, corsage. bracelet
or hair-do nosegay which can
easily be taken apart Off the re-
cipient can bear to give up
wearing it,. and the stamps OF
which they're fashioned pasted
into an Album.
Whether or not War Bonds
and Stamps arc chosen to give
as Christmas Gifts, one thing
is certain: and that is, that in
buying gifts with which to
spread yuletide cheer, everyone
will remember to take some
change in War Stamps with
every purchase-to pave the
way for a Victorious New Year
