THE GRIEVANCE PROCEDTRE

This column has tried before to
convince the people to follow the
grievance procedure as outlined N
our "Httle green book" namely the
contract. The entire plan is Ok,
except the first point which says
present his grievance to the fore
man or steward" An Improvement
can be made by forgetting the fore
man in that line.
The reasons for disregarding the
foreman are many and obvious.
This writer has learned that these
foremen have in their possession
a grievance handbook called "How
To Handle Grievances" and in
most part (the part the foreman
seldom follows) it is very good.
! was given the privilege Of scan
ming through this book and jotted
down some points that they follow
very closely.
The points come under the head
ing Of "Save the Face of Com
palmer" and are as follows: % To
Save the face" of the complainer,
and to get him willing to accept a
reasonable adjustment, make it as
easy as possible for him to RE-
TREAT or DECREASE HIS DE-
MANDS. (2) Make it point to
discuss grievances in PRIVATE.
(3) If possible, without inviting
further demands, yield some con-
cession, no matter how TRIVIAL.
in order to "save the face Of the
complainer."
So | ask in all sincerity to let
your steward know the score before
you give the company the oppor-
tunity to let you "save your face. ("
If there is any face saving to be
done, let them do it, not you or /.
Don't forget, the steward repre-
sents you. Confide in him first.

The little fella in the long pants
is built close to the ground, but il
the minds Of most people he is a
lot lower than he thinks. He does
not think you should have stimu-
lating cup Of coffee or an energiz-
ing sandwich during that morning
drudge, but every last part Of the
organization" thinks our production
should be improved. We are as
much in the war as they, and we
are not charitable organization;
we expect a return for our added
efforts, even if it only be their CO.
operation with US in giving our
stomachs an even break.
Get this straight, boys The
American Can Unit Of Local II will
not go on record as philanthropists,
not so far as you puppets are con-
cerned. We are quite fussy where
we direct our charity, be it in time,
effort or money, and you can be
sure you are not in that direction.

The WGggin'
Tongue
of Local II

Today we scoop the World with
an event which happened as this
column was being put to bed. So
we wrote up the story you are
about to read.
Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-
nego, the three lads who "got hot
in biblical times and took up their
abode in the fiery furnace, were
outdone but not outnumbered by
the CLOS duet of Local H.
"Toots" Martin, who is we'll
known in these parts as a veritable
devil-may-care sort of a fellow,
was driving his alleged motor We
hicle along Ashland Ave when ex-
cited passers-by yelled, Your mo-
tor is on fire"
"# ~! Let the. -. thing burn
it's not mine," retorted Martin, who
is quicker than CREASED lightning
on witty and pointed repartee.
Art Peth, who defled death by
riding with "Toots" in his fiery
chariot, however, felt that here was
the time for a cooler and less
biased mind to solve a sizzling
situation
They scrambled out of the car
which by then was very warm.
Peth, by the way, had the pleasure
of introducing his colleague to his
numerous friends of the Fire Brig
ade who came to their aid. And
"Toots" instead of conveying his
thanks to the fire fighters stated,
Don't forget to vote for Burke,
folks!"

An important election was held
in Dept. L last week. Mortimer
(Jim Ubry) and the arnbusters
were disputing who was to do the
supplying. Mort named his party
the Demand and Supply Assn, and
the opposition picked the name Of
Master Armbusters Of America
Afr many slogans and speeches
the vote was cast. Mortimer re-
mains the supply man by tc
3 margin. Which proves that no
matter what one still has to work.
Orlowski, Steel and Priest, that
singing trio, are getting competi-
ton from a new trio consisting OF
Lora, Betty and Mary. They sang
Happy Birthday" to Ruth Ryan
last Friday. They did better than
the gap-setting trio even though
they sang with a mouthful Of
candy.

U. S. Navy:

YOUR SUPPORT
Did it ever occur to you??
You holler, "Why doesn't the
president do something about the
high cost of living? Why doesn't
he roll back the prices?" Well
perhaps he has the same idea as
you, but he is only one man and
needs your support behind him
so he can convince the other tex

thse things. Then you holler, "Why
doesn't the Union fight this thing

You run to the stewards if you
want to submit a bid, if you want

Everybody knows genial Ed Fitz-
gerald, secretary of our Unit, and
all who know him admire him for
his many virtues-his ready wit,
his willingness to help others, his
smile and his ability to do his work
well.
Ed isn't big as men go; but he
has a big heart and the ability to
do more work than couple of ordi-
nary fellows. In fact, Ed is doing
nearly two mems work now and,
best of all, he's doing it well. Nor
is he one of the kind of hard work
ers whom we all have seen before,
the kind who work hard and then
grippe and brag about what they do,
or complain, and want everyone to
give them proper credit. Ed cer-
tainly isn't like that. He never COM
plains, but puts all he has on every
pitch, and he gets the old ball right
in the groove.
There isn't room enough on this
page to say all the nice things
about Ed that should be said; but
there is one thing we can say, and
Ed will appreciate our saying it
we all admire and appreciate him
and hope he will continue as secre-
tary of our Unit for long time to
come
Take off your hats to Ed Fitz-
gerald, good union worker,
grand guy and one of the best.
LETTER TO A SHOP GANG
Dear Gang: Just a note to let you
know how grateful l am for the
wonderful gifts you have sent me.
1t is good to know that the old
gang still thinks of me in such a
real way, and appreciate your
thoughtfulness. / hope it will not
be long before am with you again,
and | can hardly wait to get out of
this old bed and back on the Mill.
Thanks a lot.
Stanley E. Jones.
KILLER DILLER
Kenneth Tebary, son of Tony Te-
barry, recently killed couple Of
Japs trying to escape from a Texas
prison camp. That's a good start,
lad, and our only hope is that you'll
do even better when you get a
chance at the yellow boys in the
Pacific.

Who is that self-styled champion
bowling team that is thinking about
quitting the shop league because of
the "dampness" of the cellar? The
boys used to win with a great big
smile.
STUFF
Elmer Jeska, Dept. 80, finally
got a haircut. With the dry fall
weather we are having now, he
probably won't need another until
Christmas.
THE WAR CHEST DRIVE BE-
GINS MONDAY. LET'S GET To-

Give big hand to the brothers
who are helping Russell Riley wrap
packages for the service men.
Our payroll deductions for War
Bonds amount to only 8 per cent.
Let's get that up to 10 per cent.
Our bowling team in the Local IL
All-Star League is now going great
guns, winning eight out of the last
ten games. One of our scores was
the 1904 which tied the Overland
team for high single game of the
current season.
The team in the Standard League
has won IA games and lost only one
game so far this season.

BUNNIES
Now that the Victory Gardens
are all harvested, that certain
party won't have to stay up all
night to chase the bunnies away
from the vegetables.
TT.
Larry Burlington thought he
really was in the grove the other
day when he balanced a scale IN
record time. But alas! Poor Larry
discovered some dirty dog had al
ready balanced the scale.
NAVY WINS
The poker-faced sage of Dept.
"a, Cliff White, is leaving for the
armed forces this week. Cliff said
the Army and Navy were fighting
to see who got the body. The
Army wanted him to join the Navy
and wise versa. Whether they cut
for high card or rolled the dice, l
dunno, anyhow, Cliff is going to
the Army engineers. No relation
to that poem about two beers for
a coupla engineers.
SMILING
Just what is the meaning of that
big smile Billheimer is wearing
these days? He looks like the cat
that just ate the canary. Maybe
it's because of the large number of
new members, including two COM
mitteemen in the company domi-
mated union who brought their en-
tire departments in with them.
How about giving Gene Koontz 4
little going over-are you listnln
management.
NERVE
After telling one of the Scale Co.
female employees that he didn't
think she should join Local IL be-
cause the dues were to high, Attor-
ney Mccarthy, who is running (and
that is all) for Municipal Judge
had the colossal nerve to ask one
of the Local IL officials if he could
get the Locals backing. With CUTS
like that, Mac should have full
time job with the Company.
HOME WRECKERS
All claims of the company
stooges to the contrary, we were
trying to save and not wreck any
ones home when we reported the
activities of Sir Wolf in last weeks
stint. Our only reply is that what
we said last week goes and the
company stooges can go towel
you know where.
THREE WISE MEN
The three wise men in the screw
machine dept, two supervisors and
a company dominated union COM
mitteeman, who are trying to dis
courage membership in the CIO are
barking up the wrong tree. These
stooges will find that the day is not
far off when they will have to take
a different tune, so we suggest that
they a be a little more careful
with their wide open mouths.
DEAR MR.. KOONTZ
Dear Pres: Here's a few ques-
tions for you to practice ap on.
/. Why do our pres, and sec'y.
hold so many conferences in the
aisle? Reminds us of pitcher
and catcher talking over what they |
are going to do with heavy bat
ter when there are three men on
base, and two outs.
q. w uGH are We SOlhS w hSai /
from the WLB on our raise? If |
Koontz doesn't know the answer to
this one we will lend him our ouja
board.
3. Why don't we hear any more
about job rating? We can't think
of anything funny to say at this
point.
4. What happened to our five
day wee? Are you listnin Mr..
Koontz?
NEWS
We would like to have more news
from other departments, particular
ly news about some of the COM
pany stooges. We want to do them
justice.
