DISILLUSIONED

But that was back in the early
1905, and the high school kid
has been disillusioned in more
ways than one since then. He
found that some people make a
living by hobnobbing with the
slot machine owners, and that
guys like Abe Siegal could OPP
crate a numbers game without
paying off legitimate hits" if
they didn't want to. And he
found out why lots of people
would rather be sheriff than hold
a higher paying job.
Yes, the high school kid found
out lot Of things, and he'd give
his right arm to be able to do a
little something about political
connivery and crooked politics.

What's S
New?
THE PUBLICITY HOUNDS
By Edward Duck,
Educational Director, Local IL

The antics of two of Toledo's
two most ardent office seekers
are really something to watch!
Loyal Ad Thatcher and Honest
Howard Etchen (Have you seen
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-10-29
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

These two gentlemen should
someday learn to distinguish be-
tween publicity and notoriety.
Their intended and hoped for
publicity has turned out to he
nothing more than notoriety,
which means in plain English,
publicity of a negative or scan
dalous nature.
The fact that these two coun-
cilmen spend most Of their time
in the council chambers in at
tacking the safety director, Ed
ward DeAngelo, and Michael Di-
Sale, should be sufficient reason
for giving the latter gentlemen
your support and cooperation.
Speaking of Michael Disable
reminds me that wouldn't have
cared TO wear his councilmanic
shoes during the past year. He
was more or less thrown TO the
wolves at many meeting, but
Mike must operate on the phi
losophy of "I'd rather be right
than be in the majority with
Thatcher or Etchen,"
Tom Bnke's record speaks for
itself. Tom has turned down
more positions in the UAW and
in Local l2 than any other mem
ber of our organization, which
proves that he is not politician.
He could have had the position of
International Executive Board
Member more than one year, had
he accepted the chance to run.
Tom has sacrificed thousands of
dollars in leaving the Spicer
plant TO work for the member
ship at half the salary and twice
the hours that he. would have re-
ceived in the plant. His interests
are with the workers, and if he
doesn't deserve a first choice
vote in the coming election I'm
a monkeys uncle!
Remember the slogan, "If you
work, vote for Burke"-and don't
vote for Ad Thatcher or Howard
Etchen unless you aren't fussy
whom you elect!

Some of their outposts have been

The weather, Whitehead pointed
out, is of distinct advantage to the
Nazis in that it frees them from
the constant blasting from the AL

heavily in the summer and au-

these attacks was given in a sum-
