TWISTING
Notes
Need Women for Rest
Room Attendant

Some would think that the days
Of slavery, when the plantation
owner inspected his slaves, were
being revived if they were TO wit
ness the tactics employed by COM
pany officials such as Il. o. Waite
in the womens rest room.
This rest room is patrolled and
visited by the male foreman and
staff at any time. regardless Of
whether the girls are dressing. I'M
dressing. or attending TO their per-
sonal effects.
These male foremen and charge
hands make the girls stand TO be
questioned as to their name, badge
number, where they work, and why
they are in the rest room. The
girls are told to get back on their
machines where the temperature
ranges up to 100 degrees and over;
they are not permitted TO be by
the door where there may be a
small breeze.
I don't believe that higher plant
officials above B. o. Waite approve
of this mans desire TO go in the
women's rest room. and as approx
mately 5000 use these rest rooms,
which are very small. one can
imagine the confusion and embar-
rassment this B. o. Waite and 9TH
err male foreman are causing. It
seems to me company as large
as the Celanese can hire women
to patrol and inspect the women's
rest rooms.
We hope Sadie had a nice vaca-
ton even though she did not re-
ceive her check until one week Of
her vacation had slipped by. We
would like to know what good a
vacation is with no money. There
seems to be quite a few employees
who are forced to go on their vaca-
lions and then wait for their
checks.

1914 Coming

And while talking about the rep

year when there will be some
changes made. Organized labor

election battlet of 1914. and proper

These agents of vested interests
will have to look for support for re-

EAST DETROIT 49, A resolu-

on the Greyhound suburban
BUSES, which effects the resi-
dents of East Detroit using the
Mount Clemens to Detroit line,
was passed by the city council
Tuesday evening during their BIZ
monthly meeting, Stephan Hen
derson, clerk, revealed today.
The resolution will be present
cd TO the Michigan Public Serv-
ice Commission when it meets
next month TO reconsider the
raising of the rates. The excur-
sion rates which were suspend
ed last week, are again in force
but only for 80 days, Henderson
indicated.
After the 30 days are up, the
rates will go up again. We don't
want that TO happen, for the peo-
pie of this community have had
their fare increased a 100 per
cent" he said.
Under the excursion rates, the
passengers from East Detroit
paid five cents 10 Gratiot and
five cents 10 Eight Mile road.
The new fares call for a five
cent increase.

LONDON - Easily the best
known enlisted American soldier
here i'm Britain is a first-class
private from Brooklyn named
Artie Greengroin.
Artie is an eager, often ingeni-

himself a product OF Portland,
Me, and Harvard University.
Artie first came to life in the
British edition of Yank. SO large
was his following among dough
boys here that he recently has
become a regular feature in the
American edition of Yank, too.
Artie's charm seems to stem
equally from his Brooklyn vo-
cabulary (Author Brown has
been 10 Brooklyn twice 49, both
times at Coney lsland) and from
his uncanny ability TO burlesque
the Army from Gil. TO Generals.
