The changes were seen as an
indication that the emphasis on

ton coming up in the state and ma
tional legislatures.

Dinner Meeting
March Is

A regular membership meeting
of. Dinner Fare unit, UE Local 76s
was held on Thursday, March Is
The major issue under discussion
was the question of joint meetings
! of all shifts to decide various issues
| affecting the membership in the
plant.
In view of the fact that many OF
| the workers, are at their machines
seven days a week, it was found
to be impossible to have a plant
wide meeting which everyone
| could attend.
A motion was approved by the
membership that separate meetings
between the day shift and the
night shift would be held and that
a locked ballot box would be used
with poll watchers from each shift
to tabulate the vote on issues and
election of officers. A special meet
ing is scheduled for all Dinner
Fare members for Thursday, April
/. at which time an election will
be held for Chief Plant Steward,
and Assistant Day shift Chief
Steward.
Nominations for Chief Steward
to be voted on by the entire men,
bership will be William Scott,
Andrew Weghorn, now serving as
Chief Steward, and Henrietta
Carr. Election will be held by the
day shift only for Assistant Day
Shift Chief Steward and the nomi-
nations for this position are Wal
ter Currier, now acting as assistant
Chief Steward, and Edward Reigel-
sparger, who held this position
prior to the election of Walter
Currier. A ballot box will be used
and poll watchers from each shift
will check the vote, issue the bal
lots, and make the count.
All members are urged to attend
their respective meetings which
are scheduled for the day shift at
500 p. m. Thursday, April l, and

Women Must
Work

AS time goes by, more and more
men are leaving the shops for the
Armed Forces We realize that this
is necessary, that wars r fought
by the male population. But the
women are now being asked to
take the mems places at the home
front, and they are glad to do it.
The only concession that the
women ask, is to preserve the
high standards of American labor
thai our men have worked SO long
and hard to get. This is where the
Union comes into the picture -.
In the not too distant past, men
handled the affairs of the Unions.
This was to be expected, as men in
the first place, started our Unions.
But now, just as the women must
take the place of men in the
shops, 30 must they take the same
place in the Local Unions.
AS the women must leave their
household tasks( to 60 to the
shops, 30 must they leave these
same tasks, to go to their Union
meetings. And so too, they cannot
step at Union meetings, they must
take an active part in the organ
ization. Running a Union is not a
small task, as those who have m
the past done this work can tell
your
It is just as important TO see
that your Union is run in the
proper manner, as it is to 90 to
the shop every day. Organized
Labor, today, is doing a large part
in furthering the wal effort, there
fo1e it is the sacred duty of every
woman, coming into the shops, to
join the Union in that shop, and
take an active part in the running
! of that Union.

More OPA Stiffness

The Office Of Price Administration has con.
sented to an advance of 10 per cent in the
price Of flour but has denied bakers the right
to increase the price of bread.
AS an offset, it suggests that bakers reduce
their overhead by no longer slicing bread.
Maybe the price czars have a way of figur-
ing that the slicing of bread costs bakers as
much as will 10 per cent increase in the
price of flour, but we suspect it will be hard
to convince the bakers.
However that may be- it is apparent that
housewives will have to get out the saw-tooth
knives they used to use and cut their own.
We're on the way back to the good old horse
and buggy days and must do for ourselves
many things we are accustomed to having
done for U.S. And that, despite the idiosyncra-
sizes OF the price administration, may be all
to the good. z
