It is doubtful that the Kremlin

It is no secret that projects like

Try and Get 1t.
Sovs No+'I JET Co.

Cumberland, Mar. 26-Mr. Edwin
S. Cupler, Assistant General Man
ager of the National Jet Co., admits
that his company worked its en-
ployes seven days a week all last
Fall and part of January.
He admits that double time
should have been paid for the
seventh day in each week, whereas
only time and a half was actually
paid.
But Mr.. Cupler says he has no
intention of making payment OF
the difference "at this time" The
matter is in the hands of his law
yer.
This Is one Of the reasons why
the workers at the National Jet
Co. need the CLIO.
Correction. 1t was enormously
reported in the last issue Of the
CLIO News, Western Md. Edition,
that this company had paid double
restitution for unemployments
under the Wages and Hours Act.
There were several employees who
liked the company so well that
they were content to pass up the
double restitution which the union
could have got for them.

Mr.. Eddie Rickenbacker has had
a good many things to say recent
ly about the average citizen of this
country of ours. The picture of
America that energies from his
speeches is not very hattering. The
American workingman, 1t would
seem, is one who does not mind
loaling on the job in wartime; he
is interested chiefly in lettering
his condition at the expense of the
other man, meaning in this case
the men in the armed forces.
MIR. Rickenbacker speaks for a
small but vocal section OF the
population who have always
preached this conception of union
labor. These people are boosting
him right now. He Is the white
