From Soup
TO Nuts!
By Federated Press

CHICAGO-The management Of
the central division plant of Camp
bell Soups Co. discharged four
employees for wearing union but
tons.
Why? The management said:
"They might fall in the soup. That's
why we don't allow any jewelry."
To that, the United Cannery
Agricultural Packing & Allied
Workers (CIO) replied: "Nuts"
And the workers walked out, de-
manding reinstatement of the
four. Production was brought to Il
virtual standstill. Work was re-
sumed, however, when the firm
agreed to reinstate the four work
ers following conference with
union representatives.

A STRANGER IN OUR MIDST

It's strange how the Manage
ment does everything in the World
to impress important visitors when
ever they visit the plant. If these
same visitors could have visited the
nlant last week and seen all the
dirt and filth that the workers
have had to work in, you would
understand. They even found old
WHY'S Knight tools tucked back IN
corners.
We would like to suggest to the
Management, that if it can clean
the factory for few important
officials from Washington, then it
should keep it clean for all Labor
members of the Overland Unit OF
Local IL, UAW, as we personally
think we are just as important IN
our way of life as they are.
And the Brothers and Sisters
could help keep the factory a little
cleaner than it is, if they would
throw all their paper and rubbish
in cans provided and all empty
bottles in boxes that the company
has not provided.
WELCOME BACK
The brothers of Dept. sos,
better known as Shell Machine,
are mighty lucky according to con-
tracts we have read from other
plants, as they transfer directly
back to their old department that
existed before this war program
was started or to some open job
in the plant.

of Dept. COS, End shift, Paul White,

last but not least, Michigan Sand

There is certain sister Stew
ard in 49 Bldg. who goes to church
with regularity It seems she went
to church a few Sundays ago and
before she went She told her hus-

he could prepare their dinner.
After refreshing himself from a
brown bottle, friend hubby set to
work on the chicken. The first
thing he thought of was the dress:
ing, so he rummaged around and
found five unpeeled onions, and
put them in a bowl, He also found
five or six other ingredients and
dumped them in the bowl. Then
to top it off, he dumped all the
coffee grounds in the bowl-he
thought it was pepper.
He mixed the works together and
stuffed the chicken with it and put
the fowl in the oven.
When the wife came home from
church the first thing she smelled
was a foul odor which she traced
to the oven. Results: dog house.
The best idea is not to promise
to do anything for your wife if
your eyes are logged by the con-
tents of brown bottle.

Every woman in the United

in war work, will be effected by
it in some way in the near future.
Even if a woman is not actually
engaged in war work, she feels the
impact of the war on her everyday
life.
Women under present conditions
of rationing are obliged to plan
their meals within the limitations
of the rationing system, which
takes planning and foresight. They
must economic and conserve. The
housewives job is one which re-
quires considerable judgment and
imagination and can definitely be
considered as an important part OF
the war effort.

Lumber Shortage
Raises Wage Due
To War Demand

ATLANTA-The fourth regional
War Labor Board has broadened
it's definition of the lumber indus
try in which wage increases up
to so cents an hour may be given
without WLB approval.
The regional board on July 80
authorized Southeastern lumber
operators to boost wages to so
cents without consulting WLB as
a move to ease what military au-
thorities termed a critical short
age of lumber needed for war
purposes.
Wages above so cents, said
Chairman M. T. Van Hecke, still
may be increased according to
the need" by application to the
regional board.
The boards expanded definition
of numbering covered "all opera
tions involved in the production
of lumber and basic lumber prod
ucts, from cutting and logging to
the point where the lumber or
lumber product is ready for use
III COllotI uCL1Oll Vi 10 ISduy 10 U6
turned over to a manufacturing
establishment for further process
ing"
The definition also included
planning mills which make window
sash, doors, window frames, door
frames, flooring and dimension;
plants which produce veneer and
plywood; pulpwood, and chemical
wood products, such as turpentine,
alcohol and rosin."
Also covered, said Van Hecke,
was the processing or fabricating
necessary to produce the basic
wooden parts out of which the
finished products will be manufac-
tured, but docs not cover the ac-
tual fabrication or manufacturing
Of the finished product unless the
entire operation is physically in
tegrated."
The definition did not include
plants which use lumber for man.

ture, the chairman said.

rights we claim for ourselves?
Are we afraid to do justice?
The world is too small for any

tablish brotherhood, there must
be justice toward all men. Who
ever fears justice for others will
practice injustice upon others.
Are we afraid to do justice?
The only way to make sure that
there will not be another war is
to mete out justice toward all men
everywhere-a justice based upon
equality before the law and be-
fore God. Not a mauldin Lady
Bount1ful charity toward the mis-
fortunate, but fair administra-
ton Of the law of brotherhood
without senseless distinctions of
race, color, or theory. To quote

not rich enough for anybody's
