comparison with the profits that
members of the NAM make on
war contracts. If the WLB holds
our wages down to the Little Steel
formula, then why don't they do
the same for the factory owners? :?
We would say between six and
eight per cent and make them give
the rest back to the Government.
If we could get Congress to do that
what a howl would come out of
the mouths of those money-hungry
factory owners. How can we do
that? Why, by being able to vote.
SPECIAL NOTICE
Brothers and sisters, If you get
leave of absence for sickness. if
it is for one month or for longer
time, you must report to Local II

sion. Do not lose your seniority by
being careless, as you have earned
il. and seniority is something to
cherish in the Willys-Overland
Unit. Be safe by reporting each
month.

good-looking electrician with the

HAVE A HEART


Can you imagine yourself lying
in a foxhole over in one of those
Jungle islands of the southern Pa
cific with japanese bullets whiz-
zing all around you wondering
when one of the pellets would come
along with your number on it?
What do you think you would
want under these circumstances.
I'll tell you--a cigarette. That's
the reason why all of us should
donate to the CIO Cigarette Fund
Drive; that's why all Of us should
buy a ticket for the ball game at
Swayne Field July 19 and see to it
that our name is on one of the
cards that will go all over the world
to our servicemen.
Have heart when you are asked
to donate to the CIO Cigarette
Fund Drive. Have heart and
give. We can't do much for our
boys in all parts Of the world; but
we can see to it that they get a
smoke when they need it most.
THE REASON
Did you read in your evening
paper about that bunch of ham
stringers called Congress sustain
ing President Roosevelt's veto of
food subsidies, and his pointed re-
quest for lowering food prices. Do
you know the reason?
People from all over this grand
country of ours are sending IN
bushels of protests to their con-
gressmen and senators, who are
supposed to do as they request and
their thoughts at home is get the
food prices down somewhere near
what your wages will buy and still
have few dollars left.
Those would-be representatives
of the people have been viewing
everything their own way but have
finally woke up that everything is
not right at home. The people Of
the U. S. A. still believe Mr.. Roose-
welt is right and the members of
the CIO feel the same way. Also,
it did not do that congressman any
good by publishing that lot of bunk
about the workers making those
excessive wages as we still think
we are not getting enough yet in

The company is doing such a

good idea if they diverted some of
that energy toward cutting the red

job eliminations have been accom-
plished, from sharing in some of
the profits.

is important to all of us.

PERSONALITIES
Harvey Tolles, one of really
active members, is seldom missing
at a Unit meeting. Harvey gives
his fellow workers a good example
by his faithful attendance to his
Unit affairs. We not only con-
gratulate Henry for his fidelity,
but we recommend him to others
as our idea of loyal member of
the Unit.
AROUND THE SHOP
1t looks like we will be obliged
to pass the hat to buy Sam Montry
an aalrm clock. Oh we'll, boys will
be boys.
Riley, night lathe lad in dept.
36 closed his gas station because
business was so dead. Rumors
have it the place was so dead they
filled it with tombstones. For info
see Bill Spencer.
Bill Reeves is looking for a
couple of hundred berry pickers.
One of the main qualifications Bill
asks for is that the applicants sing
or whistle all the time so they
won't eat up all the profits. Bubble
gum chewers will be given special
preference.
Delbert Bradley says the food
situation will be much brighter
when the crops from his victory
garden start rolling in.
Some people do the cwaziest
thins. The other morning Andy
Jeska came to the rescue of the
boys in Dept. 80 office who were
shaking and shivering. He brought
in a red hot tool joint which kept
the boys warm all day.
One bowling secretary known as
Bernard was observed at the
Neighborhood Inn cutting a mean
rug with his wife. Can that guy
live? Uh huh!
Weather Notes: Frosty Rich
ards, who is always looking for
something to cool off, went and
tried the natural way by going
swimming one of those cold nights.
Frosty was frosty and will stick
to the refrigeration job from hence
forward.
Write to the boys in service.
The only thing they like better
than a letter is a carton of good

about giving a half buck to make
some of our overseas boys happy.

Sommutator

BY Harry BoOse

Harry Boose, who usually writes
this column, started out to go to
the Army. The Army changed his
plans. Harry Boose went on his
vacation. Result: a pinch hitter.
Not as good as Harry, but never
theless in there swinging.
Have you folks noticed that Sam
Scott has lost weight lately? AS a
matter cf fact, Sam is so worried
about his figure that he is think
ing about taking reducing eXer-
cises. The only reason Sam doesn't
take reducing baths or exercises is
because the more exercise he takes
the hungrier he gets; the hungrier
he gets the more he eats. The more
he eats the chubbier he gets. So
what's the use?
Johnny Kiplinger of the svelt
figure is one of the top men in
the Local IL pinball league. If he
can't shoot good game, he can
always talk one. We could a tale
unfold, but space forbids it.
How about some of you loyal
Commutator fans coming out and
giving the indoor team some sup
port, especially some of you gals.
There isn't anything that makes a
player try hard like some of the
fair sex screaming their support
from the sidelines.
While on the subject of loyalty
and support, don't forget to donate
to the CIO cigarette fund. It's for
a good cause and will do a lot to
keep our soldiers Union minded.

The
.AckIinite
BY Lewis MattOx
A GOOD THING

One Of the finest things under
taken by the CIO in Toledo is the
cigarette fund drive now under
way.
| want to ask all our people at
Acklin to support this drive 100
per cent because our soldiers are
worth the small amount Of money
we give to keep them smoking
and lot more besides. l don't
smoke myself; but it doesn't take
much imagination to know that
when a fellow is fighting, or
wounded, or just sitting around
wondering what's going to happen
next, he needs smoke to give
him a little comfort.
hope each and every member
of our Unit will buy a ticket for
the ball game at Swayne Field
July 10, and that when the ciga-
rettes get around the world, the
names of each Acklin employe
will reach a thankful soldier.
And while I'm at it, hope our
people will continue to hold up
their bond purchases, because the
war still is on and our govern
ment needs our support just as
much now as it did the day after
Pearl Harbor.

Brown has clarified a statement
