SCENE STEALERS

You've heard a lot of stories
about scene stealing in Hollywood
but this one tops them all. Seems
that during filming of 'Lassie Come
Home" quite feud developed be-
tween the dog, Lassie, and Donald
Crisp. The dog was stealing all
the scenes-and Crisp resented it.
The dog seemed to sense what was
going on and would have nothing to
do with the actor. In fact, they
swear at M-G-M that the dog
would start scratching himself to
attract attention away from Crisp
whenever the actor had an impor-
ant line of dialog.
Then, one day, everything chang
ed. The dog followed Crisp all over
the set always kept looking at the
actor in their scenes together. The
dogs trainer launched an investi-
cation, discovered that Crisp had
secreted piece Of meat in his
Docket to keep the dogs attention,
and the audiences, on himself.

Of each dollar to carry out the
local union activities and cover
the expenses enumerated above.
The highest salaries of Field
Organizers to International Repre-
sentatives Is not as much as some
of the weekly earnings of the
workers in the plants. Their sal
aries are limited by National Con-
stitution and regardless of the
number of hours of work in
volved, their salaries cannot be
increased above the maximum

national conventions.

organizations when consideration
is given to the small cost to each
member. I believe that most Of
the members of our union will
join with me in stating that our

One dollar per month member
ship dues is the general practice
within the CLIO and is specifically
true of the UE-C1O. The cost of
living to workers has increased
rapidly over the past two years
and the increased cost to unions
in rent, equipment, and office sup
plies have also increased proper
t~ionately. Union dues are return
ing more benefits to the members
now and at no increase in cost.
When the financial report Of a
union is read, members most often
look at the income, expenditures
and balance carried over and
never fully analyze the necessary
expenses of their organization. The
rental of office and halls is not
a small item in view of the fact
that union headquarters must be
in a central place available to all
and generally in the highest rental
section of the community. Even
though large halls are not used
continually, they must be avail
able and therefore, rent paid on
them whether they are used or
not used. The office equipment of
the union must necessarily be in
good condition to assure that all
records of Importance are filed and
available, notices of meetings and
minutes of meetings must be
carefully typed and available at all
times. Stationery, stamps, desks,
chairs and other equipment are
necessary to carry out the bust
ness of the Union. Members of
the union selected as delegates to

its appreciation for the splendid

direct sales credited to the CLIO
representatives are but small EVIL
dence of the work that is being
put in by the members of the vari-

the city, plantwide bond sales or
carnations have been set up to
solicit all employees, including
management, clerical and others,
which takes in non-members as
well as those who hold member

Consequently, it is almost impos-
sible to break down these sales,
showing direct purchases by MEM

being put forth by the organiza-

proven far beyond the expectation

worker should remain employed
so that the country may continue
to receive the benefit of his pro-
ductive efforts and those of his
fellow workers who might other
wise have been affected by the
general generalization.
What has been commonly over
looked is that management as
well as Labor gave its pledge to
the President of the United States
on December %, 1871, that There
shall be no strikes or lockouts."
We are constantly being reminded
that Labor surrendered its right
to strike for the duration of the
war. It is time that attention be
directed to the fact that by virtue
| of this pledge the employers sur
rendered their right to lockout
for the duration of the war. What
ever may be the technical defini-
ton of lockout" it must be con-
coded that the pledge contem-
| plated the avoidance of the dis
| charge of workers for u~nwarranted
causes Just as much as the quitting
of their jobs by workers for the
purpose of compelling employers
| to accede to their demands. What
was sought to be avoided was the
disruption of employment from
any cause. When a worker lays
down his tools he is interrupting
vital war production. When an
employer requires a worker to lay
down his tools, the employer is
interrupting vital war production.
A Change Is Necessary
Much Of the trouble we r
presently experiencing would be
| avoided if there were clauses in
existing contracts to the effect that
workers may not be discharged or
laid off except as a result of an
| adjudication following the appli-
cation of grievance procedure to
be pursued by the employer in a
manner corresponding to that
which is provided for the Union
in obtaining the adjustment of its
grievances
In view of the fact that action
| along these lines would be predi-
Gated upon the necessity of avoid
ing unnecessary interruptions in
war production, any agreement
consumu1ated would be for the
duration only. To some, such a
procedure would seem radical and
all our enemies would label it as
lust another means OF organized
labor usurping the powers of man
agennent, but a cold analysis will
show that such Is not the case.
It simply means a reversal OF
the procedure now being followed,
another way of arriving at the
same conclusions without irnped-
ing the war effort. There are, OF
course, many details which would
have to be worked out through
negotiations with arrangements,
but we believe IL the National War
Labor Board demanded the inclu-
sion Of a clause In all contracts
along the lines we have men
toned, many Of the present inter-
ruptions IN the production of es-
sential war materials would be
eliminated.
