i22's last meeting of the old year
proved to be unusually interesting.
Brothers Harry Malpass and Sandy
Robertson, representatives of this To-
cal at meeting in Columbus, gave
fine report. These two members and
other labor leaders met to discuss ef-
fects of priorities checking off non
defense industry, but because of the
Jap attack and later declaration of
war, it was considered unwise to crit
icize government policies.
The members present considered
and adopted the following resolution,
"that all union members apply ten
per cent of their earnings to the pur-
chase Of defense bonds. Also to con-
tribute one days pay per month to
our governments war effort" Other
resolutions of lesser importance were
adopted.
The members present at the last.
meeting voted to invest S905 from
local funds in Defense Bonds and en-
ployes, individually, are subscribing
for bonds through pay check deduc-
tions.
A motion was adopted to contribute
five dollars to all members on the
sick list. This is to be considered a
Christmas gift.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for social gathering and dance
at the Moose hall, January 10, to
honor employees who are departing for
Uncle sam's training camTs We rre
proud of these men who are going
to defend our country. Brother Wood
ard has been named chairman of the
social
Due to the rapid growth and size
Of our treasury, some discussion de-
veloped on the question Of the local
reducing the monthly dues. If you
are interested in this matter, for or
against, attend the meeting and voice
your sentiments. A motion was made
and adopted that members should reg
lister their attendance upon entering
the hall, instead of after the meeting.
Problems effecting kilnmen, jigger-
men and decal girls were up for dis
cussion, but no decisions were made.
They will be discussed more thorough
ly at later date.
Members of Local Union 122 were
very pleased to learn Of the ten per
cent increase granted at the wage
conference held recently in New York.
Once again we urge that our men,
bers' faults be overlooked and spot
light the better qualities which may
have gone unnoticed. Like begets like.
A gesture of helpfulness and a CO.
operative spirit may bear like re-
turn. When imagination runs ramp
ant, remember the saying about those
who are without sin. Familiarize your
self with the laws of the organiza-
ton and then comply with them. Don't
wait until some complaint is lodged
with the shop committee about dis
regarding the rules.
There always seems to be a shadow
thrown across the happiness of Christ
mas. This this it struck the home
of Brother Fred Shimp, apprentice
caster at our shop. Phyllis Ann, 7,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Fred Shimp
died at the Swan hospital from in
juries sustained on Christmas Eve
when struck by an automobile near
her home.
Phyllis was carrying her baby broth
er at the time of the accident but he
escaped with minor injuries. The VIC
tim sustained a fractured skull, brain
concussion, broken left collar bone
and cuts and bruises about the body.
Death came on Saturday following
Christmas.
The heartfelt sympathy of every
member of Local Union No. 122 is ex-
tended to Brother Fred and his wife
in the loss of their little girl. We can
never understand why these things
happen and probably never will, but
God will find some way to help this
Brother and his wife in their sorrow.
