BY such actions Of management
distrust has been built up by the
employees, a distrust that not only
tends to hold down earnings, but
that can hurt the war effort.
Management does nothing to
eliminate this distrust but compli-
Gates matters by creating more of
it. Employees who are working
on jobs that have been refined,
or are being refined, or where
newly established time studies
have been put into effect should
not hesitate to take advantage of
paragraphs Is and as of the Ma
tione1 UE-GM Agreement which
provides for such a situation.
Once employees use these para
graphs in the manner in which
they are agreed to, there will be
less refining and management will
be more willing to talk to the
union about permanent time stud
les than they ever have been in
the past
In many instances grievances
are filed on some trivial matter
which is petty and in many in
stances grievances are not filed on
items where the contract is violated
by management where the en-
ployee is justly aggrieved. The
calling of committeeman by en-
ployees to take up their grew
ances is a part of the National
UE-GM Agreement and should be
a part of the employees everyday
life just as the employee daily
makes it his business to 60 to
work. Grievances occur in almost
all departments and an unwritten
grievance is not only a mark
against the employee, but tends
to destroy organization within
that department.
, 1943-06-24
Reprimands

MANAGEMENT hands out repri-
mands and contact records to en-
ployees in some departments, and
these are records which are put
on file against those employees in
voIved to be used at some later
date if he or she becomes involved
again, at which time a penalty is
handed out depending upon the
seriousness of the offense. Man.
agement believes in records, and
how! Employees can establish rec
ords in a like manner by putting
his or her grievance on paper and
taking it through the grievance
procedure. If you feel that man
agement has been unfair, tell your
foreman you want a committeeman
and the committeeman will tell
you whether your grievance is a
good n or not. lie and when the
union would have to take a case
before an arbitrator, the National
Labor Relations Board or the War
Labor Board, it is possible that
your grievance could be the means
of the union winning their case.
You have a grievance procedure,
you have a committeeman, and
you have a union; but only you
can make Use of the three and
strengthen the unions position
and build a bigger and better Or
ganization to benefit YOU.
II you have a grievance don't
be afraid to call a committeeman;
If you're dissatisfied with things
in general including food prices
and wages, we urge you to write
and tell your congressman or rep
resentative, and If you're dissatis-
fled with your union, attend your
membership meeting and tell us
about it.

JAW Local 785
Membership
Drive Under Woy
By KASTNER

JAW Local 785, Standard Air
craft, is sponsoring a membership
drive and are crediting each men,
Der who brings in a new mem
Der fifty cents for each member.
The organizing committee of Lo-
cal 785 feels that in offering this
plan to increase the membership,
each member will be able to earn
more money to buy War Bonds
and Stamps.
We are sorry to report that one
of our good union committeeman
has been advanced in the ranks
of the company. We r referring
to William Freeman who has been
promoted to a job setter. Bill"
as we all called him, was al ex-
cellent committeeman and during
his term, never lost a case with
the company. We will all miss
him, and hope that he will be
with us again in the future.
Fred Werner is the new COM
mitteeman, and we know that he
will receive the support and CO.
operation of all the union mem
bership in his district.

Speed-Ups

Our government urges that we
increase production and the people
themselves believe that it is neces-
sary to increase production in
order that we may out-produce
our enemies and therefore win
the war faster. Management, it
seems, has different ideas. Their
ideas being to take advantage of
employees by speeding up and
cutting jobs under the pretext Of
efficient management Manage
ment IN many instances has sent
4 time study man out on q job
TO refine operations, and the job
has bean more and more speed"
, 1943-06-24
Wages Have Not Kept Pace

Wages have not kept pace with
prices and it is needless for me
to 60 on and tell you of the
other things Congress has done
along legislative lines. You, the
people, know what has happened
to you, and the people, must be
the ones to urge your congressman
and representatives to give you
true representation. Write your
congressman a letter telling him
just how you feel about prices,
wages, and other conditions. Only
by a flood of protests from the
American people themselves in a
democratic manner which we r
fighting to preserve, can we hope
to come out of the war holding
the gains or breaking even with
what we have.
The War Labor Board was set
UP to render decisions IN cases
where management and the union
could not agree on negotiations or
disputes. The War Labor Board in
the past has made some decisions
favorable to labor and many de-
cisions favorable to management.
While we disagree with the de-
cisions handed down by the War
Labor Board in many instances,
still we must realize that we are
at war and that to strike would
be aiding our enemies; therefore,
ever though a War Labor Board
decision may be rotten, it is our
patriotic duty to abide by their
decisions when rendered. lie we
are dissatisfied with the War La
Dor Board set-up, then the thing
to do is to create pressure to
change those who r against
labor, on the board, to people who
will give an honest and unbiased
decision.
, 1943-06-24

This Congress has shown that it
intends only to help the laboring
people when they are compelled
by necessity in order to keep
down trouble. The manufacturers
not only have control of certain
congressman but they maintain a
powerful lobby and their voice is
heard above that of the laboring
people. There is only N way
that this situation can be cor
rected and labor again given the
rights they are entitled to a pro-
ducers of the wealth of the coun-
try.
Laboring people, whether they
are union members or non-union
members must unite in a protest
against those actions of Congress
which are detrimental to our
working conditions and our fam
lies. Prices were supposed to
have been rolled back, yet only
a small effort has been made by
those in charge to effect a roll
back.

U-Boots Toke Back Seot

London, Nov. 2-(UP)-Naval ex- perts suggested that sagging morale morale among crews,and the in- experience of new commanders, plus the success of Allied counter meas ures. may have dashed Nazi hopes of mounting Q major offensive in time to disrupt the Allied opening . second front.
 Following collapse of the 1942-43 U-boat offensive, grand Admiral Karl DoenitZ, commander in chief of the German Navy, withdrew the bulk of his badly-mauled submarine fleet to the Baltic and other bases for equipping with the newest de- vices to offset Allied anti-submar- inc methods.
 Allied naval chieftains had anti- cipated that he would send his re- armed and neWly-equipped submar- ine-, bolstered by heavy reinforce ments built during the lull in the underseas offeneiye, out in force during the critical Autumn months when Allied ships were carrying vast endorsements of men and supplies to Britain ana the Mediterranean for the final offensive to knock Ger many out of the war.
 However, except for one big convoy battle some wee ago, all reports indicate that no large -scale offen- siye has been attempted or is ini- minent.
 Those submarines in action re. portedly are operating mostly in small packs of five ,r less. .-sepIng at respectful distances from escort ships and content with hit-and-run attacks. others are knocking off un. escorted ships in the south Atlantic
 Naval experts. who were prepar. ed to meet attacks on a hitherto unparalleled scale, frankly were nlystified by the Nazi failure to mount the anticipated offensive, but said the heavy sinkings of last winter and spring may hay af. fected the morale of surviving crews and pointed out that most Of the U.boet nee commanders of the early Gays of the war have been killed or captured. -

about the Home. Bruce, VINO had
livid tongue, told him what he
thought about the Legislature.
One fall when Tony Dimond was
campaigning he and / met Bruce
with his bag of canes in front
of the Home. Tony Immediately
bought a cane for two dollars.
When / explained to Bruce he had
sold cane to Tony Dimond, the
Delegate from Alaska, he insisted
on giving Tony his entire bag.
They settled for three canes, with
which Tony departed. / have never
asked Tony what he did with the
three canes but 1 rather suspicion
he gave them away to some Re-
publicans at Angoon.
The record shows that Bruce
arrived in Wrangell in 1890. Pros
pecting and sealing were his first
ventures. He worked on the U.S.S.
Adams, Pinta and Boston. He spent
some time at Forty Mile and
Chicken Creek. AS far as, could
determine about his professional
career as a soldier before he came
to Alaska it was a toss up between
him and Jim Virdin as to who killed
the most Indians. AS the years pro-
crossed, the toll grew prodigiously.

covered and returned to Suka.
In his zeal as taxiderrpist he
shot birds, wild and domestic, in
discriminatory, until he was arrest
ed and his gun confiscated He
then turned his talents to cane
making. On tourist day his tall,
thin body, snow-white hair and
beard, and hawk-like face with
piercing eyes presented a striking
figure. Although he carried bun
die of canes he never solicited any
one to buy He made one kind of
cane from Devils Club stems which
had a special charm.
Upon one occasion he ran Re-
gional Forester Charley Flory off
his own domain. Bruce on his own
initiative was raising some special
plants on the abandoned Expert
mental Station of which Flory was
custodian. AS Flory and I APP
preached this sacred area, Bruce
was chopping down a magnificent
apple tree to give his plants the
proper light. Flory rushed forward
to stop Bruce and Bruce calmly
picked up a six-foot stick of cord
wood and started for Flory. Only
my timely intervention saved the

Had an Answer
Once a member Of the Legisla-
ture, on an inspection trip of the
Home, had the misfortune to meet
Bruce and ask him what he thought

Since Bruce exceeded Jim. both IN
age and time of living, l am con-
strained to recommend him for the
dubious honor,
Was Healthy
AS far as l know, Bruce was
never i'll. Ten days before he died
he asked to be put in the hospital
He was weak but suffered no pain.
I talked to him the day before ne
passed away and he was quite clear
in his mind as to who I was ana
the situation in general. In the
years / knew him cannot say 1

Out of curiosity I asked the Home
physician to what he would ascripe
the cause of death. Without hesi-
tating he said "myocarditis" ana
then went on to explain frankly
that in person of that age and
condition the exact cause OF Qedlil
could not be determined.
Not infrequently death is har-
binger of good news. But once
again the Reaper assumes his ma
tural aspect of the greatest gypper
on earth. If Bruce had lived TO be
a hundred, what a party we could
have thrown at the Pioneers Home.

USO CHRISTMAS DANCE
Is MERRIEST GINE

The USO dance held Saturday,
December 26 in the school gym was
huge success. Those attending
claimed that it was the best USO
dance held thus far.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated with cedar branches. Electric
candles in the windows and red
and blue ceiling lights illuminat-
ed the scene of the merry holiday
party.
Cake and punch were served dur
ing the intermission by Mrs. Reno
and Mrs. Price.
Mrs. Chase was head of the Sem
ior Hostess organization in charge
OF the dance. Music was furnished

,of his death, giving HIM the dis
tinction of being probably the old
est person in the Territory of AL
aska. He resided in the Home near
| ly IS years.
This is the best recommendation
for the catering department of the
Home so far produced. 1t appar-
entity is superior to most home
cooking.
About two years after work was
started at the Naval Base, Bruce
applied to the Commanding Off
Ger for active service. He stated
he could do anything and that he
was a two-gun man. The Com
handing Officer sent him a cour-
teous but regretful refusal His
application for the Home states
his occupation as being that of a
soldier.
Wanted Vacation
After Bruce. had been in the
Home for seven years he asked me
for three months vacation wit h
pay I told him he would have to
apply to the Board of Trustees
which he did. The hard hearted
Board turned him down. Undis-
mayed Bruce raised the price of
a steerage ticket to Wrangell and
