Unions Unite
TO Halt Kansas
Anfi-Lobor Law

TOPEKA, Kans. = (FP) - Two
more suits have been filed in fed
eral court here against the re-
Gently enacted Kansas labor con-
troll bill. The suits are by the
Kansas Federation of Labor and
jointly by the CIO and railroad
brotherhoods. They seek to enjoin
operation of the law.
Suits for a declaratory judgment
against the law previously were
filed in Kansas City, Kans., fed
eral court by the Building Trades
Council of Kansas City, Mo-, and
the United Mine Workers (unaf-
filiated).
State Atty. Gen. A. B, Mitchell
has indicated he will oppose all
the suits on the ground ths the
state courts should first rule on
the constitutionality of the law.

WHY'S Seeing Eye
BY Claude Hess

not just stand in the rest room
door and smoke, Benny? The stick
ers will get along OK. He has
just informed US he is going to
California and get an easy job.
Goodbye, Benny, and best wishes!
How about seeing few more
308 girls at the Union meetings? :?
They are held at Civic Auditorium
the first Friday Of each month.
The girls at the wax tanks are
going to have to do all of Edna's
work for a while until she gets
over her puppy love.
What's the matter with BOZ? :?
He doesn't have time to stop his
mule nowadays. He leaves it on
the run.
Someone put a sign on Jennie
(the cutter) which read: "Silence
is Golden" but Jennie doesn't be-
lieve in signs.
What does Grace, Helen and
Stella do on Tuesday nights now
that there's no more bowling?
Did you girls know we have an
inspector in 80 Bldg. who is tall
or taller, light and handsome? =?
Believe it or not, it's Keller, "the
lady killer"
Why does Florence Close look so
much shorter? Well, it's from walk
ing back and forth from third
floor to 80 Bldg. How about a
"jeep" for her?

AN EASY TASK

We have stated in our last few
articles what a swell job your
committee has, particularly in
the face of the brand of coopera-
tion which the management has
been giving us.
What do we care for bottle
necks, we handle them so well
that when we have one to con-
tend with, they hurry and give
us another so the first one won't
feel lonesome.
Ed Gee has been appointed as
our first contact before consult
ing the big man. Mr.. Gee can't
answer any of our problems and
grievances because the big man
can't answer them either; but he
serves a purpose, that Of indus
trial staller whose only purpose
is to help irritate and provoke US.
OF course, we don't blame poor
Mr.. Gee. After all, gentlemen
must eat too.
The committee is working hard
in the face of great obstacles to
settle grievances, and losing a
lot of time for which they are
not getting paid, so we ask all
the people in our shop to please
be patient because there always
comes day. Mr.. Young is prob
ably instructed to work on us and
make us angry, so let's defeat the
purpose of the industrial patriots
who give this glorified office boy
his instructions by biding our
time and working out matters to
the best of our ability.

A PROPITIOUS TIME

This is indeed a propitious
time to talk of pork and beans.
The postwar period is going to
result in a grand scramble of
famished people rushing to get
their feet under table. Now is
the time to plan a menu which
will supply at least first servings
to the hungry hordes who have
grown lean under Hitler's new
order.
1t would seem that the Hot
Springs pow-wow over world
grubstakes can well serve as a
caucus to cook up a program for
the peace negotiations. The first
order of business at the peace
table ought to be a recommenda-
ton that three squares a day be
proclaimed as the main dish of
international freedom from want.
Freedom of speech, freedom of
press and freedom Of religion
are highly important too, but
they do not set well on an empty
belly. 1t has been proved by the
upsurge of dictatorships which
plunged the world into war that
hungry people are easily per-
suaded to swap their intangible
freedoms for promises of plenty.
APPETITES AT HOME
The problem of making sure
that dinner bells ring frequently
and regularly after the war is
not limited to Europe, either.
Right here in America we have
a lot of folks whose heavy appe-
tites have never been satisfied
by dishes garnished with fancy
phrases about free enterprise
and individual initiative.
Down south among the share
croppers and tenant farmers
there are thousands of Ameri-
cans to whom a Waldorf salad
would appear as a gift of the
gods. Out west, too, where the
big farm trusts and insurance
companies have driven the peo-
pie from the land, and turned
the farmers into wage slaves
roaming the highways in rickety
jaloppies, there are hungry
mouths eager to taste a juicy
steak.
BALLOTS FOR BREAD
Mr.. Gallup, who counts noses
to sample public opinion on is
sues of great social significance,
has never taken a poll on the
desire of the common folks for

right by themselves in the recent

Ray Ound, which finished 18th and
copped $11 per each. Ted, of course,
did not roll his usual game or the

Russell Riley has devoted himself
to the job of wrapping and sending
boxes provided by the Unit to the
National Supply Unit servicemen
and Loyalty and faithfully carries
out this work for our boys.
Some of the fellows who are not
overburdened, might give Russell
hand, which he would appreciate,
in his job; but whether you do or
not, you can all stop and give him
big hand for the fine way he has
carried out his duties as Welfare
Chairman ever since our Unit was
formed.

A MILESTONE

A MILESTONE
The international Food Confer
ence held at Hot Springs, Va,
with the United States playing
host, ought to go down in history
as a milestone in the progress
of human affairs. Whatever its
outcome, the very fact that peo-
pie from different nations have
come together to pool their pro-
posals for putting provender in
the international pantry is an
event to cheer about.
We have had too much of par
leys in which politics took prece-
dence over poultry, pickles and
pie. Resolutions and manifestos
are nice enough in a way, but
they do not stick to the ribs.
Politicians have yet to learn that
hungry people cannot sink their
teeth into adjectives and proper
nouns.

Commentator
Comments
By HARRY BOOSE
WE PARADED TOO

Toledo Standard Commentator
Unit was we'll represented at the
OPA protest parade against the
current ceiling prices. Workers
like Mr.. Phillip Boose, aged 72,
paraded for hours, after working
all day in their shops. Carrying
their slogan, "Defrost the Frozen
Wages" and singing the song,
eve Shall Not Be Moved"
All three shifts were we'll repre-
sented at this parade. Next time
the Commutator Unit would like to
be represented by more Of its
younger members, TO carry on the
work we have started.
WOODPECKERS
What, ho! Hear the woodpeck-
ers, or is it woodpeckers? No, no,
it's just Florence Summers and
Helen Martin on the repair gang.
Ask Ted Gasiorowski what he
knows about "Setters"? Maybe ball
practice was too much for him.
They say (quote), "Julia Hinz
was out celebrating her birthday"
And (quote), "a good time was
had by all.
UNIT PARTY
A Unit Party will be held Sat-
urday, June 5, at Harmonic Hall,
corner Detroit and Belmont Ave.
There will be dancing and enter
tainment starting at s p. m. and
lasting to 2 a. m. Tickets are %
cents per person. Military men
will be admitted free. There will
be beer, soft drinks and sand
wiches. Music will be furnished by
a five-piece orchestra.
THIS AND THAT
When asked, Bob Daughters de-
MED reading that high-class liter
ature that lies on his desk. The
book is entitled "The Sun Was My
Undoing." 1t just couldn't be that
he's slipping, or maybe Bob is
training to be a government in
spector.
1t was really funny when Bob
Daughters and Leroy Mowan,
walking around in the dark with
their hands in front of them,
bumped into each other around lit
tie Clara Lempke's table.
William Holmes on the third
trick is awfully mad because he
can't attend the union party June
5. Cheer up, Red, more parties
will be held.
Wonder why Norman HIM isn't
in the ball game. But, of course,
you can't farm and play ball, too.
Keep up the good work, Norm, we
need farmers.
Why isn't Lefty out playing ball
at lunch time? Could it be possi-
BILE? Of course he really isn't that
fat. But it would help some. Come
on, Lefty, remember your waist
line.

slElICS GO HAND IN HAND

EIICS GO HAND IN HAND
If you believe in your Union and
its leaders, you surely will believe
in the policies laid down in regard
to politics.
We know that belonging to an
organization like ours is the cheap
est job insurance you can buy.
Where everybody is equal; where
you are protected by leave of
absence if you apply for same
when you are sick and have to
stay away from your job five days
or more; where you are informed
at a unit meeting once a month
what takes place during the past
month; where you have paper
delivered to your home once every
week, which tells you of all Of
Local lbs activities. Also, you re-
ceive your own paper, The Eagle,
once a month.
All we ask in return is for you
to register at PIT Superior st. and
be able to vote this fall. Won't you
do that? Help US to help you by
electing the right kind of people to
office who will protect the labor
laws that organized labor has
fought and died for.
You are never told in your daily
press of the many anti-Labor bills
pending in Congress until they are
ready to be acted on. But your
leaders do because they read pa
pers that are printed and run by
friends of Labor. We think one of
the most outstanding weekly papers
is the Progressive, edited by Bob
LaFollette, U. S. Senator from
Wisconsin. We know it is one of
the best labor papers outside of
our own paper, that contains the
best reading on America for
Americans.

vey their sympathy to Brother
