PUBLIC PERSONALITIES

Introducing H. ]. Gibson, dy-
manic, young president of District
Lodge 751, the Aeronautical Me-
chanics Union
Gibson, who is known among the
thousands of members of his union
as "Gibby"-has been guiding the
activities of one of the largest UNI
ions on the West Coast for the
past year, and during the time of
the most difficulties in the secur-
ing of manpower for the produc-
ton of needed Flying Fortresses.
Since his connection with the UNI
ion, first as an active member,
then as business agent, then as
president, Gibson has been instru-
mental in winning better condi-
tons and higher pay for such
huge block of workers that they
represent a goodly share of Sc
attic.
During recent months, Gibson
has been insisting that a proper
War Labor Board directive cor
rectly reclassifying all jobs in the
Boeing plants would be the great
est step towards solving present
manpower shortages. To accom-
plish this end, he made several
trips to California and a special
trip to the nations capitol, where
he and other members of the To-
cal War Labor Boards Aircraft
Panel sat in extraordinary ses-
sion with the National War La
Dor Board.
All Seattle knows the outcome
of this meeting, and how Boeing
employees now will receive wages
comparable to other industries.
Gibson is known as a nervous,
unable-to-sit-stil person. Con-
stantly on the go, he PUSHES from
meeting to meeting during his
business day, often working until
late hours to accomplish his nu-
merous and varied duties. Many
night he has jumped from bed and
awakened his blonde wife, Helen,
to take dictation on some subject
which he will not leave until the
next day to decide.
Athletics of all sorts long have
been his hobby, with baseball his
main interest Even now, when
spare time is found, "Gibby" will
grab a worn, used baseball glove
and rush to a vacant lot to join

ferred with his assistant, William
+. Flanagan, for some time and

Mrs. Leola Lees with making
minimum profits of $3.50 monthly
from her operation of an unli-
censed baby boarding home.

Mrs. Lees was released under
$4,000 bond to appear next week

alleged TO have had IL children

made to other parents, she
would have averaged $40 per
