Gloom prevailed in Mani quarters
today as REPORTS from the Russian

TO tell OF nothing but German re-
verses. Of German retreats in the

Adolf Hitler's pessimistic speech
from Munich could not have but

dispatch to neutral Sweden today
took on a special significance.
Leaders Selected
A correspondent OF the Stock.

reported that plans have been com
pleted for a four-mau government
to take over control OF the Reich in
case Hitler should die.
These four men. selected at re-

The Brewster plants here, in

A RECORD MEETING
By Paul Sterling

What is believed to be record
for short meetings was established
on March 20, when our Unit had
meeting which lasted approx
imately 30 minutes.
It may be that we do not have
more difficulties than any of the
other small Units; but we certainly
have our share. Strong minded
union people who belong to the
Unit would do we'll attend the reg
ular monthly meetings.
UNION KNOWLEDGE
Decisions on Unit affairs and
problems are based upon the laws
and bylaws Of our International
Constitution.
Sometimes, in fact, many times
misunderstanding of these laws
give rise to grievances which
would not occur were there bet
ter understanding of the rules and
regulations governing our Union.
Decision of the committee on con-
troversial points must be based not
upon personalities or any personal
sentiments; but strictly upon the
laws of our organization.
For the reasons given above, it
is urgently requested that all our
members make it a point to under
stand the laws, and this can best
be accomplished by devoting a
little time to reading the Inter
national Constitution.
knowledge of the terms of the
Constitution, shop contract and
other Union documents will, to a
great extent, eliminate many of
the difficulties which grow out of
a lack of such understanding.
Z One way that helps to bring
about this desired understanding is
to attend your Unit meetings. Let's
go all out for the regular monthly
meetings and make it 100 per cent.
