SHARE WITH OTHERS

Share, brother! Share anything,
such as your time, your advice and
Your automobile.
Share your car for your fellow
workers to ride to and from work.
1t seems to some of us after you
have been appointed to the job you
wanted, money is your next ambi-
ton. Did you know you have
shaken the belief of a new mem
ber just for the sum of one dime !?
Think of it, one dime!
Just think what you would have
done if it had been dollars. If you
have built your faith and belief in
this organization on how much
you are going to get out of it, for
get it and go back to work on the
job you had before you got pro-
NOTED. This union of ours was not
built on that kind of a foundation.
HELP BUILD THE UNION
Our belief is. and always will be,
what you give and put into this
union of ours, so you will take
out" Nothing more, brothers and
sisters, believe it or not!
For an example, take Charles
Ballard, our chairman, and Homer
Avery, our vice-chairman, or Rich
ard Gosser, There are three out
standing examples who believe
(and we know IT'D as we believe,
that "the more you give the more
you shall receive" Those good
brothers are working in your be-
half when you are out enjoying
yourselves or when you are home
sleeping, All we ask of you is to
help build and preserve what
good many brothers and sisters
worked and sacrificed to attain.
FOLLOW UNION PROCEDURE
Won't you help us by joining one
of the standing committees, such
as the Flying Squadron, Welfare,
Entertainment, Blood Donors Com
mittee, or be good union mem
Der. Attend your meetings, and
Jackson Fellers is the new stew
ard for the third trick in Dept. sc.
Jack, who is good union worker,
will make good steward.
Fred Smith, inspector, and Ken
Grove, second trick foreman, are
giving their all in the war effort.
Both of the boys joined the Saliva
tion Army, which is a good organi-
cation to our boys in the service
or any other person in need.

to death, you are so cold, you can
not even talk.
Did you notice that sly look on
the faces of Chuck Heebsh and
Bryan CARRIER the other night :?
Someone brought in something in
cans. Could it have been an over
age COW or bull? That's one you
missed.
This should be a card of thanks
to all good brothers in 662 who are
so generous in giving to the Sol
diers Welfare Fund. 1t makes all
of us happy to have a department
give the way you have. Thanks a
million and let's hope you attain
that goal you are striving for.
We wish that the secretary of
the Bowling Club of 662, 2nd,
would send in the names of all
bowlers and their scores so we
could arrange a game with the
other fellows who are always tell
ing tall ones, and what their
averages are.
DEPT. 102 SECOND SHIFT
! am just like the late Will
Rogers. All | know is what | read
in the papers and what | found
out by asking questions.
Maybe someone can answer this
one. | remember, up until a few
weeks ago, the boys were telling
everybody how many miles they
were getting on gallon of gas
1t would go something like this
Well, now, on straight driving, say
like taking q drive through the
country, | get about twenty-five
miles on a gallon. Even right here
in the city, ! get as high as eigh-
teen This would be told in q
"braggadocio" manner.
All! You haven't heard anything
yet. Now listen to this broadcast. t.
The question being asked and the
guys reaction are simply wonder
full. As aforesaid, it would be
about the same, only they get
about fifteen miles on gallon on
the long drive and around ten or
eleven miles in the city.
All cars seem to be effected by
this motor malady." Maybe it's
the atmosphere?
Another little incident that is
worthy of mention. Last Wednes-
day, Squirt" Ratajczak left the
plant around eight o'clock. At
about $40 a. m, one of the boys
found him on the corner of Cen
trail and Cherry, trying to thumb
ride downtown. He said he was
going after some chill. The funny
thing about it was, he seemed to
be full enough without the chill.
Now he blames all this delinquency
on this man Connally, who is some
chilli eater himself.

If you have a grievance of am
kind, see your steward first anC
not your boss.
Remember, your steward is
your contact between the com
pany and the union, and if you
do not get the right answer. file
a grievance sheet or a bill of ex-
ceptiOn. We know we can help
you If you will only follow the
union procedure, and believe in
your union.

DEPT. 4O4


We understand that the big shot,
better know as Mr.. Lewandowskl,
is trying every way TO balance his
budget and how he is scrimping!
He even has four a. sets of hoses,
fire hoses, at Logan Gear without
any nozzles.
Do we stand on top Of the fire
or do we wait till the fire climbs
up to us, or wait till the messenger
we sent to No. 8 fire station gets
back with the nozzles we sent for
to put out the fire?
We sure would like to see
Haskins attendance card. He claims
he has seventeen punches in his
1912 attendance card, but we know
darn well he has nothing Of the
sort, and if he has, the only way
he got them, was through a "W"
stencil he found someplace, as it
has been long, long time since
we had the experience of seeing
him at a meeting.
A Cheerful donor to the boys in
u. S. uniform, Clayton Swickard,
the brass hat of 10S, gave as much
as one five-cent piece in the sol
diers collection to buy boxes to
send to those who are sacrificing
their all to preserve democracy in
this grand country Of ours. Some
one ought TO send him a card of
thanks, but you could not expect
anything different from one who
believes in the philosophy of the
NAM.
Harold iller, the little Foreman
of Dept. 10S with the big ideas, is
growing so big in his own estima-
tion, that he not only will have to
buy new hat but also a new suit
and keep his hands clean.
There also is another of the
would-be grown up men, Ray Rus
sell, one of Emil Schnell's gallop-
ing messenger boys who had bet
ter watch his step and quit iss1ing

do the Job for us. We know Lou
can do it as he believes in the
Union like we do. SO, take the
hint, Ray!

A Comparison
A MODERN UNCLE TOM
By Ray Vale
W.-O. Executive Com mittee

A MODERN UNCLE TOM
'Uncle Toms Cabin" the novel
that helped crystalize public opin-
ion in the north against slavery
has its modern counterpart in the
workers who are employed in open
shops.
Uncle Tom, whose life was SER
enc and peaceful with his first
owner, was sold to another master
who also treated him with kindness
and consideration. until this mas
ter died, and this time his good
fortune did not hold out.
Simon Legree, whose very name
has come to be associated with
those who drive and harass their
workers, became the last owner of
Uncle Tom. BY his harsh treatment
and cruel handling of the sensitive
old Negro, he was the means of
bringing Uncle Toms earthly ex-
istence to an untimely end.
THE SIMILARITY
You are asking what there is
about the case of Uncle Tom and
the open shop employees that is
similar. Let me point out the
cases.
If workers are fortunate in their
employers, like Uncle Tom was
with his first owner, they will be
treated kindly and given considera-
tion. Indeed, they may be fortu-
nate more than once like Uncle
Tom, and even have a second en-
ployer who treats them as they
deserve to be treated.
But, like Uncle Tom, workers in
open shops have no assurance that
they will not eventually be sold
down the river to a cold, cruel
master who will take advantage of
their position and treat them as
his position makes it possible.
The workers may not even be as
fortunate as Uncle Tom, who sue
ceeded in having two kind masters,
but may get one that is hard boiled
on their very first job.
UNION HANDLES LEGREES
If the workers want to assure
themselves that there will be no
Simon Legree in their work-a-day
lives, there is only one answer and
that is strong union such as the
UAW-CIO.
The only protection the workers
have against the whims and tenn
pers of bossism is their union con-
tract, which guarantees their
rights, outlines their grievance
procedures, gives them seniority
and many other features which
cannot be found in the open shop.
We want no modern open-shop
Uncle Toms. In fact, the open shop
is now as outdated and obsolete as
the slavery of the south. Where the
open shop exists lies the oppor-
tunity for the workers to organize,
promote a strong union and de-
fend themselves against what
chance may bring them outside the
union.

You Get Out What
You Put In
BY Claude Hess
BY Claude Hess

You do not build organizations
like the Willys-Overland Unit of
Local IL, UAW-CIO, on selfish
ness. You give, sacrifice and for
get lot of times you are human
being and that your time belongs
to others and what you have you
will share with your brothers and
sisters.
What started this? Well, we will
try and tell you in as short time
as possible. 1t seems some people
have ambitions and when that am
bition is accomplished, the next
thing they think Of is money. Well,
there is where they are wrong.
What they should have thought of

and sisters, and how we can prove
it to them,

passed away. His friends wish to

his bereavement.
HUMAN INTEREST STORY
Mike Klofta, automatic tread
mill operators son served eleven
months in the Polish Navy. Mel
vim Klofta asked to be relieved of
his duties as gunner's mate, first
class, so that he could return to
his home country. He joined the
United States Navy as soon as he
landed in America. At the present
he is doing shore duty in New
York. He certainly seems to be do
ing his share to try to lick the
enemies of our country. His par
ents must be very proud of his pa
triotism. He deserves our whole
hearted gratitude.
The patriotic feeling that exists
in Dept. K is authentic. If we
only had a former Marine we
would have full representation of
all our armed forces. During the
past month we acquired former
army man-Carl Schroeder, to
share honors with Lester Hanna,
the pride of the Navy. Carl spent
four months at Fort Mitchell re-
Gently. He received an honorary
discharge in December.
"There'll be some changes
made" says Bill Leonard as he
assumes new title. He's the new
Detail in Engineering Inspector on
the second floor of the aviation
building. n

Dick Roach, Chuck Hullhorst, Gus

ter, girls?
After more than two years since
our first employee left for the
service, a sign has finally been
erected on the front lawn honor
ing all of our men who have en-
tered the various branches of
service. Now that it is finally up
we'd like to congratulate the
company on it's selection. An in
spirational symbolic!
Nearly every week we see new
faces added to Dept. L. They are
as important as you. Make them
feel welcome. Be friendly. We're
all here for the same purpose and
we can't stress unity too much.
