appeal we have been pub
lisning each week, asking you TO
register at 217 Superior Street and
to vote this fall. Why? If
you want people who support
Roosevelt's labor policy to be elect
ed you will have to be able to vote,
and every vote that labor condi-
dates such as Tom Burke, who is
running for City Council, can get
makes the task so much easier. Are
you one of the $4,000 that are not
registered? If you believe in your
union, then surely you must believe
that the one economic weapon we
have left is the ballot box, and the
one and only way to use this weap-
on is to vote, and to be able to vote
you must be registered.
How many of the members of
the W. o. Unit know Andy Baum
gsrtner? Well, Andy is on the
guard force, and he escorts visitors
to different parts of the factory,
and we are sure he is close to three
score and ten, but is still young for
his age, as he demonstrated short
time ago. He was entertaining his
granddaughter and great grand
daughter and another lady at
Aubry's Grill. Go to it, Brother
Andy, and here is hoping you live
to be a hundred. He also attends
all union meetings.
The officers and members wish
to take this opportunity to thank
the election committee for the Won
derful job they did with the dele
gate election, which was held on
the goth and 21st of August. 1t is
our opinion that it was the largest
election ever held by unit of Lo-
cal II and all of you did a grand
job We know you were handicap
ped for counters after the election
was over, but that did not stop you.
So we still say thanks for your
grand union spirit.
A great many of the younger
sisters and brothers are going back
to school this fall, and this is a
word of advice to you. When you
quit, please go down to Local IL
- take out withdrawal card so
Twill not be suspended, and if
ever come back to work, all
you do is to go back to Local IL
and deposit your withdrawal card
and you are in good standing.
There is a certain room on the
second floor of 81 building that
should have wreath tackled on it,
and with these words over the
door: He who passes here leave all
hopes behind. Yes, it is the time
study department, and is presided
over, at the present time, by Harry
Dornbush. A guy by the name
of Carson used to be the big shot.
In this room they try to inoculate
you with Wits E. E., or expected
earnings and standard hours. We
used to think we were getting
gypped on piece work, but this new
brainstorm is a whiz bang. Some
thing new to gyp the workers out
of few nickels, so they can hire
some small town shop gypers like
Witt.
