Multiply Joe by several thousand every day and it means approxi- mately 6,000,000 man days lost a month. Tn the shipbuilding industry alone, absenteeism is costing the war effort two cargo ships month
 Tn Butte, Mont, copper mining officials estimated that absenteeism resulted in the lost of 63,000 pounds of copper a day
 Apply those same percentages to practically every war industry and wonder no longer why the WIPE, labor arrangement committees, and personnel directors are so concerned.
 Remedies there are and they are numerous. In one western mining town, closing the bars on Sunday cut Monday absenteeism more than 50 per cent.
 Tn many plants, there are various forms of personal interview. Work CTS with sons or brothers in the service call on the absentees at one plant and give them friendly talk ing-to. Tn another plant, absentees without an excuse of illness are greeted with a yari-colored "AWOL time card" which instructs them to

ADRIAN: A PIONEER IN FAITH.
Genesis 11:31; 1919. Hebrews 11:s-12.
Printed Text: Genesis 1919;
Hebrews 11:s-12-
Golden Text: Fear not, Abram: /
am thy shield, and thy exceeding
great reward. Genesis 1871.
Time: The exact dates for these
early Old Testament events cannot be
determined, but is said to have been
between 1900 and 1000 B. C.
Place: Ur of the Chaldees was q
city in southern Babylonia.
Genesis 1871. Now Jehovah said
unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindreds, and
from thy fathers house. unto the
land that I will show thee:
2. And I will make thee a great
nation, and l will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and be thou
blessing:
8. And l will bless them that bless
Lhee, and him that curseth thee will l
| rrse: and in thee shall all the faml-
lies of the earth be blessed.
a. So Abram went, as Jehovah had
spoken unto him; and Lot went with
him: and Abram was seventy and five
years old when he departed out Of
Haran.
5. And Abram took Sarah, his wife,
and Lot, his brothers son, and all
their SUBSTANCE that they had gather
ed, and the souls that they had gotten
in Haran; and they went forth to 60
into the land of Canaan; and into the
land of Canaan they came.
6. And Abram passed through the
land unto the place of Shechem, unto
the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite
was then in the land.
7. And Jehovah appeared unto
Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will
I give this land: and there builded he
an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared
unto kim.
8. And he removed from thence
unto the mountain on the east of Beth
ell, and pitched his tent, having Beth.
ell on the west, and All on the east;
and there he builded an altar unto
Jehovah, and called upon the name of |
jehovah.
9. And Abram journeyed, going on
still toward TIRE South.
Hebrews lie. By faith Abram,
when he was called, obeyed to go out
unto place which he was to receive
for an inheritance; and he went out,
not knowing whittier he went.
g. By faith he became a ssjourner
in the land of promise, as in a land
not his own, dwelling in tents, with
Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of
the same promise.
10. For he looked for the city which
hath the foundations, whose builder
and maker is God.
IL. By faith even Sarah herself re-
ceived power to conceive seed when
she was past age, since she countd
him faithful who had promised.
IL. Wherefore also there sprang Of
one, and him as good as dead, so many
as the stars of heaven in multitude.
and as the sand, which is by the sea-
shore, innumerable.

EgY Pact Signed
BY Louis COuviOn

The Egry Register Unit proudly
announces the signing of a victory
contract July 7, with only three
conscientious DIRECTORS to it's
minor points.
Negotiations between the shop
committee and Egry Management
lasted only thirty seven days and
were shared by a Federal Con-
ciliator during the last seven.
Among the many new points
won was a five cent an hour raise
for all employees, retroactive to
June 1, which also stepped up
the minimum and maximum wage
scale.
It also provides for a modi-
fled maintenance of membership
shop and more solidly binds MEM
bership with bright hopes for a,
closed shop.
Under this plan present mem
bership must be maintained or a
loss of job is mandatory after a
forty-five day grace period.
An elaboration of the seniority
clause gives membership the
privilege of transferring to a more
skilled position and the right to
his or her seniority after one year.
The grievance procedure vas
expanded and it is hoped that it
will be more freely used in the
future. Among the many i'm
provements gained thru it last
year was a new lighting system
now being installed in all depart
ments. Thanks to "Bert" Kolhler
and his crew for bringing to light
some of the anti-union activities
in a certain department.
ANY changes made in future
negotiations with any other Union
at Egry in regards to vacation
and soldiers bonus will be auto
given to UE membership
as provided by a written agree
At the next meeting on Thurs
day, July 30 the entire contract
will be reread and thoroughly
analized and compared with last
contract so that all who
participate in its new points will
appreciate the rapid pro-
gress made by Egry membership
in one year.
Thursday, July % has been
designated as Joe Garner Day and
all are urged to attend a dutch
in his honor which is be-
ing arranged by Marinell Am
The Negotiating Committee was
headed by Russell Kohler, and
composed of Marinell Ambrose,
Laprise, and Albert Degen.

D. C., Nearby Milk Prices
Are Fixed by 0PA

Wholesale prices of milk and cream
in pint and half pint containers are
under the control of the Office of
frlce administration In the Wash
lngton Arlington Alexandria area
today following an order issued by
the agency yesterday.
The new prices, made effective as
OF last Monday, set the wholesale
price OF a pint of milk at ~ cents,
a half pint at AZ cents in a paper
conta1ner and cents in glass and
the price of cream with more than
IL per cent butterfat at Is cents.
The pint price of milk is cent
above the levels prevailing last
March, but OPA officials said this
will not necessitate any increase in
retail prices which were established
previously, since the new wholesale
ceilings reflect current retail prices.
Chief effect of the new order is to
protect patrons of hotels and res
taurants against the possibility of in
creases In retail milk price ceilings.
1t was necessary to establish prices
above those prevailing last March,
the month used as the base for other
ceilings, because rates to milk pro-
ducers In this area were raised In
May, 1t was pointed out.
The wholesale price Of milk sold in
quarts has also been under ceiling
for some time.
