The answer to all of the Guards
problem is organization! It is a
well known fact that if the start
of an organization will cause a
company to part with all of these
concessions, the full accomplish
ment of establishing a Union will
gain far beyond these efforts.
The Patrolmen are the easiest
group in any plant to organize.
There they are, right where every
worker has an opportunity to talk
to them! We are asking every
Union man and woman at Delco
to talk to the guards as you 60 in
and out of the plant. It won't take
long to get the last few into our
Union, and produce for them the
benefits that we have enjoyed.
In the mean time Guards, ask
Hoover for your Officers job and

It appears that since the Guards
have started to organize, Hoover
has made more sergeants than
there are guards. It is also ru-
mored that the laundry for the
guards is now done free! Could
there be any truth that Hoover
does said laundry with his own
lily-white hands?

be forced to hold his good pants

Seriously though, while we en-
joy ribbing these pitiful attempts
at preventing organization, this is
a real proof that a company will
take peculiar methods to prevent
workers from joining our Union.
They know that it is going to slice
into those years of easy and ire
mendous profits!

late! The guards are already well

Price Ceilings
Are Part Of
Wa Strategy

Price control Is a MAJOR
strategy Of the home front in this
all-out-war," John Edelman, ad-
visor to the Consumers Division
of the Office of Price Admins
tration told delegates to the an
nual convention of the Interna-
tional Ladies Pocketbook and
Novelty Workers Union at Atlantic
City last week.
1.-The maximum price regula-
ton announced by Leon Hender-
son, constitutes the most drastic
economic action ever taken IN
this country" Edelman continued.
1.-THE price control order is OF
special interest to labor which has
seen recent wage increases dis
appear as living costs have risen
15% since autumn 1885,"
almost everything we buy is
covered by the price order" Edel-
man said. sOnly a few items are
exempted and these are mostly
food commodities"
Highlights of the new price
ceilings outlined by Edeiman
were:

prices, with a few exceptions,
must not exceed the highest levels
which each individual seller
charged during March, 1912.

The German strategy southwest
of Stalingrad now was to knock out
Soviet artillery, the backbone of the
defense. To this end they attacked
more frequently than ever before
with planes and tanks. They were
estimated to have increased their
dive bomber and fighter strength
on this sector to 1900, the greatest
concentration, perhaps, on any one
point since the war began in 1899.
Their massive air superiority en-
abled them to subject Russian po-
sitions to heavy bombing, day and
night.
Dispatches said the situation was
so critical that antiaircraft were
doing double duty-against planes
and tanks. At one point, hundreds
of tanks tried to break through.
