Report On Orgonizotionol

The organizatonal drive at Delco Products is going along in
splendid style, and strange as it may seem after more than a year of
efforts to sign them up, the women at Delco + leading the Or
ganizatonal parade by a comfortable majority. The membership
among the men at Delco has always been a strong union organization
Until recent date, the membership among the women has been a
source of trial and tibulation to the organizing committee.

can'stand up i'm a crisis.
Realizing the miners justifiable
grievances, we state that they
would not be in the shape they
are in today, if Lewis had lived
up to his job as a labor leader.
He certainly had time to do it in!
We raise the question of lack of
education on union policies for
the miners because we feel that
had they been given the oppor-
tunity as most of labor has had,
they would not have been "tricked"
as they have been in the past.
Miners and all of organized labor
should now be able to see that
Lewis policies will only wreck
the war effort and in time, de-
stroy the very existence of our
union by promoting the passage
of anti-strike legislation, such as
the Smith Connally bill.

OPA Slashed

VA "A O10SzkCU
The question of the OPA came
up and we pointed out that the
cutting of appropriations was
practically wiping out the OPA.
Mr.. Jeffrey said that OPA has not
functioned as a price control
agency and that there must be a
better solution. We suggested that
OPA be strengthened rather than
weakened. Jeffrey said he is will
ing to have prices set, but they
must be set on everything. This
to include such items as the feed
the farmer buys, the farmers pro-
duce, and all methods relative to
getting this material to the market.
We did not agree on any level.
We took the position that prices
must be rolled back to Septem-
Der, 1912.
Mr.. Jeffrey took us on a tour
of the House. He escorted LIS to
the House gallery so that he could
be on the job. Mr.. Smith was the
presiding officer, the speaker of
the House being absent. During
this time we saw a beautiful bit
of uproar on the floor, and in
seeing this, one delegate remarked
that Mr.. Smith seemed to take on
a big job when he tried to con-
troll organized labor and couldn't
even control his own House. On
the visit to the Senate, we heard
Senator Lodge, who spoke in favor
of the appropriation for the Office
of Warm Information, which has
been bringing information on the
war effort to the people.
During the tour, we passed a
mural of the signing of the Dec
laration of independence. We
stopped here and Mr.. Jeffrey re-
marked that when passing he al
ways paused here for a moment
because it was a most impressive
picture. To which one of the
delegates replied, eyes, and they
were all LIBERALS, why don't you
try being a little liberal"
Experience
While riding on the train I had
an interesting experience. Every
one that noticed by union button,
Immediately asked what type of
button it was. I explained that I
was a union member and president
of a local union in Dayton. They
Immediately asked about John L.

to be made. Perhaps 1t can best
&c summed up in the talk I had
with a fighter pilot who had just
returned from India. I explained
that we of the UE condemn John
I. Lewis and his strikes. We of
the Go have voluntarily given UP
the right to strike for the duration
of the war. The fighter pilot 5
sured me that the mention of
John L. Lewis among the soldiers
was no pleasant topic. So ! further
explained that John L. Lewis was
not affiliated with any of the Go
unions and was most certainly
not welcomed -. that we as well
as the soldiers condemn the lead
ership of the United Mine Work

Mobilize Now

The workers of America must
mobilize for immediate unity to
break the Lewis conspiracy and
all of the anti-win-the-war groups
including those who aim to dis
rupt all programs of our COM
mander-in-chief, President Roose-
welt.
Again we must support our
commander -in-chief against the
enemies within as well as the en-
emies without, in holding the
home front to help win the war.
Dangers coming from Congress
are detrimental to our country.
The labor haters in Congress and
the ti-Roosevelts' must be de-
feated ia the following major pro-
grams: their work to undermine
the war effort, to enact spending
tax" etc. We must see that they
DO NOT succeed IN the stoppage
of rolling back prices to levels
that existed in September of ~,
and also against OPA subsidies.
In addition, we must see that
the following bills are defeated:
Federal control of unions . out
lawing closed shop -. labor draft
bill anti-labor bill on alb
senteeism Austin Wadsworth

These are only a few bills now
before the people that will break

Empty Tubes a U. S. Tin Mine

By exchanging an old tube
for a new tube we are helping
to win the war. Through a
salvage program devised by
the government a plant for re-
claiming tin from squeezed
out tubes is now recovering
several tons Of pure tin daily.
Millions of empty tubes
which once contained tooth
paste, shaving cream, ONT
ments, shoe polish, etc., go
through the furnaces of the
Salvage Institute at Newark,
N. j., a non-proft organiza-
ton operating under the
Metals Reserve company of
the Reconstruction Finance
corporation.
Recovery of tin from metal
tubes begins at drug and other
stores, under the tube-for-a-tube
exchange plan, as sho,rn in pic

Medical officers have long recog-
nized tobacco as an aid to morale
among Jul armed forces. Surveys
among the men themselves have
shown that tobacco is their favorite
gift: If you have a friend or relative
in the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast
Guard who smokes a pipe or rolls
his-own, nothing would be more ap-
preciated than a pound of his favorite
tobacco. Prince Albert, the worlds

What Workers Eat

The average soldier eats about 51a
pounds of food daily. This means an
army of 100000 0 men will eat $780,
600 pounds every "a hours. And civil
ian workers eat plenty, too. 1t takes
the food from 155 acres to feed the
workers who build one bomber; food
from 43 acres to feed the men who
build n medium tank. And workers
who construct a S ,000-ton battleship
need the food products of AZ, 900 acres.

Concealed Blood

In the 18th century, Lord Nelson
Is credited with having the sides OF
decks, gun carriages and sometimes

The theory was that blood stains from
men killed or wounded in action would
blend in color with the paint and the
morale of gunners who replaced the
dead or injured would be less likely
to be affected.

Delehanty and Lajoie

To show how far baseball salaries
have advanced, you need only to
look back to Napoleon Lajoie and
Ed Delehanty.
Around 1908, this pair we're the
greatest hitters of their time. Both
were in the 400 bracket. and both
were also sluggers. D%elehanty still
holds the all-time record with Bobby
Lowe, when he hit for II bases in
a game-four home runs and a sin
gle. Lou Gehrig almost wrecked
them both when he had four home
runs in Philadelphia-and a mighty
wallop that came close to being a
fifth home run-or at least a three
base hit-in his fifth time at bat.
That year Delehanty asked for
$4,000 a year and Lajoie for 50, 500.
The Phillies gave Delehanty his
$4,000, but Lajoie was turned down
on his So, 500 offer.
So Larry promptly jumped to
Cleveland in the American league,
where Charlie Somers offered him
S 1000.
This started an inter-league and a
legal var Lajoie was barred from
playing in Pennsylvania, which
meant Philadelphia.
He slipped through Pennsylvania
nee where, according to Charlie
Dryden, he travelled on a fruit
steamer disguised as a bunch of ba-
nana5.
Anyway, Philadelphia lost one of
the greatest ball players of all time
- NIpuloon Lajoie - because the
ft.Ilie9 Wouldn't give him 81, 500 a
"ear.

ballplayers to win several pennants.
But most of these stars were sold as
