PROMISES?
We wonder if Mr.. Beauregard
meant the first of October, 1914,
when he promised those scrap bins
in K1 building, or was that lot Of
company hokum?
This is almost like the bridge
across the creek. l wonder if the
company is stalling off till the
creek freezes over. Remember how
the company promised last year to
install hot water in 80 building, but
it has not got that far yet. Maybe
Cecil Johnson can't find tank or
two. We certainly have a lot OF
patience. Perhaps that is one of
their postwar plans and it is
military secret. How about it,
Cecil?
WHY'S Unit offers sympathy to
the family of Brother Joe Robi-
deau, of 234 Hefner Street, who
passed away Sunday, Oct. 10.
Brother Joe was a mechanic in the
truck garage and has worked at the
Overland since 1921. He leaves a
host of friends among the brothers
and sisters in the union VIII will
miss him.
Brother Chas. Mitchell of $40
Forsythe street, steward of Dept.
358, second shift, passed away Sat
urday, Oct. 9, after several months
sickness.
This is what you don't hear about
very often: A kid who is so patri-
otic that he lied about his age TO
get in the army, served eight
months before he was found out.
The boy is John Ritchie, Jr. His
father works in Dept. 1872, second
shift. John ran afoul of one of ear
hardboiled bosses before he became
member of our union.
John was operated on for appen-
dicitis before he was discharged
from the army. The incision was
not completely healed before he
landed himself a job of truck driv-
ing. The jolting of the mule opened
his incision and he had to go to the
doctor to get it sewed up and ban
daged. The doctor told him to take
it easy. So he went back to the
garage and told his foreman what
the doctor had said. Oh, yes, he was
taken care of. / should say not! He
was assigned to one of those bone
jarring, hard-tired mules and told
to deliver a couple of loads. He did
| just what anyone of us would have
done and demonstrated with the
brass hat.
Lo and behold, do you know what
his reward was? A payoff marked
insubordination. Merle, how would
you have felt if you had been in
that kids shoes and just starting
out in life? We know the kid only
had three weeks in and you had the
right to pay him off, but don't you
think that was lousy trick? We

Greeks Kill
1900 Germans

Activities of guerillas in Greece
have accounted for the death of
1900 Germans and Italians in the
Pindus area within the first four
months Of 1943, the United Nations
Information Office announces. This
activity has been carried on in spite
of heavy reprisals exacted by the

Rigging The
Scale
WHISPERS IN THE SHOP

Squinty is coppering his bets and
paying off in pennies when he
loses. Pres. Gene Koontz is getting
a lot of smiles as he goes about
telling the people in the shop that
we are among the highest paid
workers in the city. Apparently,
Gene doesn't realize the Scale plant
is out of the city. Maybe Gene
means himself and some of the
other company union .sweethearts.
EFFICIENCY
Rumor has it that the company
has employed the services of an
efficiency man, which will recall TO
some of the old timers around the
shop the days of Mcssrs. Moak,
Fisher, Hite, Erwin ct al. We are
wondering if we are going to have
to go through with that sort Of
thing again after this war. If we
are, we had better be represented
by a strong and we'll informed bar
gaining agency, legitimate union.
A SAVING
We hear that Danny is carrying
part of his lunch home, now that
the boss has moved his headquar-
ters and no longer requires feed
ing. Danny, tell US, did you bring
your teacher a nice red apple when
you were a little boy in knee pants
going to school?
1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE
The little incident in Dept. % a
compile of days ago proves that you
simply can't razz the boss son-in-
law and get away with it. Even the
assistant production manager and
our dauntless(?) union president,
Mr.. Koontz, became indignant over
it. Cut it out fellows, or papa
Koontz will spank.
NIX
The little lady in the stock room
is becoming increasingly tired of a
self appointed foreman who follows
her around and paws at her all day
long. Nix, will you George, we don't
like it either.
HOLD THE LINE
Roy Rowland of our sop, now
in the paratroopers, was home fol
visit few days ago. He informed
US that there are a lot Of union
boys in his outfit who are giving
the postwar world lot of thought
and expect us to hold the line fol
them until they get back into the
saddle.

winning the prize for the first
catch, but that SINGLE bass was

clusion that all fish are not of the

don't give up hope for me until

but warned that it would be a mis-
take to suppose that there is gen.
eral famine.
ANY substantial relaxation of
the blockade inevitably would be
exploited by the enemy greatly to
his advantage" he said. and moth
ing would suit Germany better than
to shift the responsibility for feed
ing the occupied countries to the
Allies"
THAT is the form of assistance we
do not propose to give him." Foot
said.
The most significant recent event
in Germany Foot said, was the
"comb-out" of labor to fill gaps in
the armed forces and in vital war
factories, a maneuver similar to
that carried out by the Germans in
1918.
This extreme shortage of man
power in Germany is due to two
causes-losses on the eastern front
and the combined effect of our
bombing and blockade" he said.
I'm the final defeat OF the Axis
powers, our traditional weapon of
economic pressure, which we used
to exercise through seapoWer alone
and which we now exercise through
the combined command of the sea
and air, will prove once again the
most decisive factors"

MEN RETURN TO
JOURNAL JOBS
Decision Arrived at When
Assured of Prompt Hear
ing Before the WLB

Providence, r. l., July 8-UP)-
Striking compositors employed by
the Providence Journal Co. were
back at work today after brief
Walkout because of a contractual
dispute that caused this city's only
afternoon neWspaper-The Evening
-Bulletin-to suspend for a single
day.
The Morning Journal was pub
lished as usual after the 1870 strik-
ers, members o. the Providence Typ
agraphical Union independently,
obeyed a New England War Labor
Board directive to return to their
jobs. The directive said the Walkout
was sin violation of presidential eX-
ecutive orders and in violation of
the national policy of the United
States government that there shall
be no strikes for the duration of
the war"
The dispute, which has been certi-
fled to the WLB, resulted from the
payment of wages above the con-
tract scale to some compositors I'M

Number Of Defective
Cars More Numerous
"On-the=Spot' Inspections Disclose Evident Dis,
regard of Warning Among Auto Operators

IN spite Of warnings through the
press and radio that on-the-spot"
automobile inspections are being
made by Motor Vehicles Department
inspectors and police, more defective
cars were found during the seventh
weekend check-up than during any
previous one, Motor Vehicles Com
missioner John T. Mccarthy said
today.
while most of the defects were
minor" he pointed out, twenty-five
cars were found to have defective
steering equipment, seven, defective
brakes, and twenty, tires that were
in an unsafe condition.
"As usual, the greatest number of
warnings, 299, were issued because of
defective, missing, or dirty lights.
There were fewer cars during the
last check-up, however, with lights
either not dimmed out or improper
ly dinmed out. Dur 6 the pre-

Axis Suffer Severe
Losses In Shipping
Over Million Tons Sunk or Damaged Since Allies
Occupied Strategic African Points; Cheering Report

London, July 8-(UP)-Upwards
of 1,0O0000,000 tons of Axis ship
ping has been sunk or damaged
seriously since the Allied occupa-
ton of North Africa, Dingle M
Foot, parliamentary secretary of
the ministry of economic warfare,
told Commons today.
Opening a debate on the work
of the ministry, Foot placed ton
mage sunk at 100000 and that
damaged severely at 100000.
Germany's tonnage no doubt has
been reduced to the bare mini
mum needed to meet most essen
tial military and economic require
ments," Foot said
Though a certain number of
blockade runners passed between
Germany and Japan in the spring
and summer of last year, he said,
this traffic has been brought vir-
tually to a standstill.
He estimated that the Axis has
lost at sea in the last II months
not less than 10000 tons of rub
Der, 5000 tons of tin, $4,000 tons
of edible oils and smaller but not
less important quantities of tung-
stem and quinine.
Japan lost heavy machiery, ma
chine tools and other essential in
dustrial equipment, Foot reported.
Recent information indicates that
the Germans are moving all pos
sible equipment from the bomb
battered Ruhr Valley, which pro-
duced one-third to tWo-flfths OF
all German arms, Foot said.
eff that is so, it is extremely
significant on the face of it," he
added, because it shows they
themselves know that the battle
of the Ruhr is lost"
He said the Germans were making
strenuous efforts to increase steel
production in France, Belgium and
Luxembourg.
German production is not moving
away to more remote districts" he
said. at naturally is being COM
PEELED to move in our direction"
Results of the bombing offensive
against Germany must be measured
in the additional work necessltated
as much as in the amount OF pro-
duction actually halted, Foot said.
He said there undoubtedly were
acute shortages of certain foodStuttS
in towns ana cities and urban dis
