sonality. Prof. Henry N. Wieman says that a college roommate of his desired to improve his intellectual life. "He procured a large comfort able chair that was thought to be good for study. He got study slippers and a lounging jacket. A book rest was fastened to the arm of the chair to hold the book at the right angle before his eyes. A special lamp was installed and eyeshade, pencils, paper, and revolving bookcase. He would come into the room after the evening meal, take off his coat and put on the jacket, take off his shoes and slip into the slippers, adjust the study lamp, put his book on the book rest, recline in the comfortable chair with his eye-shade over his eyes, and, when everything was per- fectly adjusted, he would go to sleep"

JUST LOOKING

JOO4 0O|1AAN0 These are sssise days
 One likes to fit Through the stores
 And wanLer a bit Up and down aisles
 After an early start, Look ng at brio brac
 And objects of art ... Pricing lovely things,
 Handling a few, Asking lots of questions
 As all ladies do -. Being quite intelligent
 About Wedgewood and Spode, Eighteenth century footstools, Getting a load Of valuable information
 About French statuettes, Lovely flowefed thingumbobs
 Of roses and violets. These are the days
 One loves to lock In every department that
 Has an antique nook, Spending many hours
 Of every single day, And perhaps ending up
 With a dollar ash tray.

What kind of Union would Lo-

If every member worked like me

What this Union is and what it
should be-depends very much up
on you and me.
For nearly seven years we have
been members of Local No. II, we
have never seen or worked under
a finer group of leaders than we
have now. We may even be so bold
as to say that there isn't one bad
one in the group. 1t is up to the
members. of this local to work in
harmony with them and respect
them. We have no reason to COM
plain, these fellows are really de-
cent.
We have no advice to hand out
(be sure and REGISTER to
VOTE), no ideas to sell (vote for
TOM BURKE), but if We can Gre
ate a smile or two, or offer few
minutes diversion from the monot-
ony of work day life, we will feel
that we are not unwelcome.
We would like to make this col
umn representative of the entire
Local. If you have something on
your mind, spill it and let every
body in on it. We will reserve
space in this column for anyone
who is interested in contributing
material.
The subject, of course, must per-
tain to your Unit or Local No. IL
So oil your typewriter, fill up your
pen, get supply of fresh paper
roll up your sleeves and get busy!
We want to make it weekly fea-
ture of Your Union Journal, printed
in the interest of our union mem
bers. Go to it! But keep it short.

anyone who does not like to see his
ideas in print, and worked out by

tell. All one has to do is lock him.

you start thinking, one idea sug.

necessary when the details of an
incentive bonus plan and a reduc-

FINE CONVEYORS
We noticed the other day in
Dept. 30S-90 building the finest lot
of conveyors in the factory. There
were plenty of smiling sisters
working on same, but we guess
that smile must have been me-
chanical one. We do not think they
have a great deal to smile over, as
they have been trying to get a
piece price for three or four
months. 1t is commencing to look
as though the company was going
to run out of alibis pretty soon.
Their one and only alibi is, the job
is not processed yet, and it never
will be if those three foremen keep
on working. You foremen have been
told, and you have contract that
you never have read, that you are
not allowed to work. You are su-
pervisor "a hours of the day. Yes,
we mean Bently, Szymanski and
Perry. The last one has been told
half dozen times to quit getting
his lily white hands dirty.

tract them, because it seems to us
they are multiplying pretty fast.
If you work, vote for Burke Nov.

please register at once. If you have
moved since you voted last year,
you must go or write to the Board
of Elections, PIT Superior ST., and
get it done Be loyal to one of your

SHED A TEAR

Last year during the election
campaign a member of Congress
went on the air and, in a voice
practically shedding tears, told his
audience about the horrible thing
the present administration was do
ing to the people.
He told, in voice trembling
with tears, how Oklahoma farmers
had been paid millions of dollars
not to raise wheat, while the gov
ernment was spending 100 or more
million dollars to build an irriga-
tion project out in the state of
Washington that will put into pro-
duction three million acres.
When you hear something like
this you might jump at the conclu-
sion that the government is, to say
the least, a little insane, because
everything said by the Congress
man is true.
But he failed to tell all of the
story. The truth was that the Okla
homa land should have never been
plowed, because when this land is
plowed up it literally blows away
because the top soil is thin. This
ground should have been left as
grass land. In addition, only ar
average of once every year do they
have enough rain for farming
The farmers living on this lane
were being moved to the irrigated
land in Washington that does no
have to depend on rainfall, anC
what is important, the dam there
will provide enough electricity tt
supply an area as large as Ohio.
The point we are trying to make
here is, don't be misled by propa
ganda. Register, get the facts and
if you work, vote for Burke.

CHECKOFF SYSTEM

III LShOIE - y Lh
For the information of anyone
who might find fault with the
checkoff system. We appreciate
the fact that the system is not
working 100 per cent. Yet it is a
good system and has been the sal
vation Of our Unit. We are max
ing every effort to make the sys-
tenn work efficiently and believe
that in time we will be able to
satisfy everyone.
Members can aid the system in
working by reporting to the Local

OF out of work. In fact, the system
can only be made to work as it
was intended to work with the CO.
operation of the people.
WELFARE COMMITTEE
Thanks of the Unit go to the

to more than 80 of our Unit MEM
bers in the armed services. Letters
Of appreciation are coming in from
the boys, including one from one
of our fellows in China. thanking
us for the cigarettes sent him.
REGISTER!
Time is short, but each and every
member of our Unit who is genu-
inely interested in the welfare Of
labor will take the time that inter
venes between now and Oct. to
register. There are a lot of us who
do a good job of telling how we
love labor; but unless we prove il
in some practical way, such as

are meaningless and we do not dc
either ourselves or our cause any
good. Please register. Do it i'm.

You can walk on them with a new
