A Present From Plant III

A Present From Plant IL
It seems that a certain hawk
faced nincompoop in Plant 3 is
unaware that Hitlerism is Hitler
ism regardless of where you find
it. Perhaps if this wolf in sleeps
clothing who showed his true ma
ture in a grievance meeting last
week would grow a little NOUS
tache on his upper lip he would
get what we mean.
If it is true, as Mr.. Hawkface
says, that the foreman will put
trainees where they please, and
advance men as they see fit with
out regard for seniority, what do
we have but the dictation that
we are fighting to avoid. If the
foreman alone is to be the judge
of a mans ability, it is certain
that he who sucks most will get
the preference. This will mean that
men of greater experience r
likely to be sitting on their tail
while inexperienced favorites r
bungling up the job and Hitler
is being helped.
Mr.. Hawkface, you pride your
self upon rising to where you are
on your own merits and ability.
Why not give others that chance,
instead of leaving them to the
mercies of a foreman who is O
torious for his Partially and who
knows less about his job than some
of his trainees? Why not pick up
those grievances that are piled
heavy upon your desk and give
your fellow workman the chance
to present his just question? Or
do you prefer to continue the Hit
Ter roll? Your actions will be your
answer!
