STOVES AND HEATERS
The Waggin'
Tongue
of Local IL

On numerous occasions people
have asked how they may increase
their chances for promotion. This
question is one that applies to all
at some time or another. 1t, there
fore, seems worthwhile to explain
a general policy on the subject.
Some times a lot depends on
who you are, other times your un-
swerving loyalty to the firm which
employs you might win you a pro-
motion; then, too, it isn't what you
know, but who you know.
Whether you will be chosen for
a better job or fancier title may
depend on how good you are at
herding driving or directing
workers), or being a good lance
jack "a temporary or acting super
visor with the same duties and au-
thority as regular appointed boss
but without the pay Of same). Per
haps you might be a good mitt
flapper (management's yes mani.
You might ever be able to get
yourself hoisted on the ladder to
success by being an apple polisher
Ia guy who would give his boss
the shirt off his back.
But a legitimate promotion, in
our opinion, would be as nearly as
possible a promotion or advance
ment that came from within de-
partment and was won by cheerful
cooperation with fellow workers.
That is one of tht greatest distinc-
tions as a group of people, the CO.
operative and friendly spirit makes
for better understanding of lot
of problems. 1t would be essential
that anyone sincerely ambitious
for promotion would cultivate the
good will and respect of their fell
low workers and not that OF the
personnel manager.
1t is obvious that firm cannot
promote everyone who wants to be
promoted, but it would surely give
one a lot of satisfaction and pre-
vent a great deal of unrest, just
being assured that you are con-
sidered every time an opening oc-
cure in the line of work for which
you may be fitted and entitled to
in line with your seniority. wheth-
Ell you work days or nights.
So, rise and shine, fellows, #
you want your fellow workers to
stop slipping the clutch (talking
or criticising).

Fire-Bredks
Provided

When winter weather struck
northern Ohio, more than seven
miles of fire-breaks had been
plowed at the Resthaven game
sanctuary in Erie county, Carl r
Warren, project leader, reports tc
Conservation Commissioner Dop
Waters.
These breaks of from 20 to 81
feet in width were plowed with a
single e-bottom plow, since that
was the only type which would
handle the rank growth of prairie
(tall-blue stem) grass.
This method of preventing fires
will be followed by the Division
of Conservation and Natural Re-
sources, the plan being to disc the
"breaks" now and then to keep
down vegetation thus preventing
fire spreading and at the same
time providing openings for pheas-
ants and rabbits which will mean
a diversification from their reg
ular habitat.

The
.AckIinite
by Lewis Mattox

Our last Unit meeting discussed
the vacation proposal We hope
that from this meeting something
definite will develop which will
be of benefit to the members of
the Acklin Unit.
A number of letters have been
received by the Unit from our boys
in the armed services thanking
their fellow workers for the gifts
sent out by US at Christmas time.
It's great to hear from the boys
and it makes all Of Us feel good
to know that our efforts, small
though they may be are appreci-
ated by the boys.
A lot of the people around the
shop have been wondering what
Ray Gleasner would do if he sud
denly found himself unable to talk.
We don't know what the answer
is; but he probably would learn
the sign language and still hold
onto his ability to keep saying
something even if he had to use
his fingers to do it,
The boys in the die shop did a
good job of decorating. As decoTa-
tors the fellows are tops and de-
serve lot of credit for their spirit
and the job they did.
Top hOnors for the month should
go to Frank Woods. He has done
very swell job as committeeman
and deserves the thanks and recog-
milton of the shop for his fine
work.

Mrs. Roosevelt
Proises LABOR

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (FP)--
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, speaking
at the graduation exercises of the
'Women's Service Brigade of the
Init. Ladies Garment Workers
Union (AFL), praised labor's role
in the war and said that the "boys
wouldn't be so well equipped with
planes and ships" if workers had
not done a good job.
Speaking of labor's political
action program, Mrs. Roosevelt
told her large audience of women
workers: There is only one way
to get the sort Of world our boys
are fighting for now, and that is
for every individual to be on the
job as a citizen" The service bri-
gade was organized by the unions
educational department to train
women for civilian defense work.
Marshall Called Tool
ILGWU Pres. David Dubinsky
charged that G n. George c. Mar
shall has allowed himself to be-
come a "tool of a well-organizad
smear campaign against labor
which is under way in this coun-
try. He said:
Labor has become too big, in
the eyes of the professional labor
haters and labor baiters. Big busi-
ness cannot tolerate the idea that
organized labor has come of age
and is entitled to have its voice
heard in industry. Big business
wants to shove labor into the back
ground of American life and 10
assume full command of the
drivers seat"

Cameo Cd
Opener
1T is YOUR DUTY

Have you ever let your mind
stray out into the Pacific, or the
Atlantic, or Iceland or, for that
matter, wander any part of this
cockeyed globe of ours where our
former co-workers are serving il
the armed forces?
Have you ever tried to think
what they are thinking? How they
are depending on you to improve
the things they left behind them?
These men left our midst Won
dering what was awaiting them
upon their return from the war
fronts. These men, some of them,
left good paying jobs to take up
fight which they felt must be
settled. These men knew union and
the value of a good, strong union,
but in their absence others hat G
taken these jobs and are feeling
quite independent and are failing
miserably in their duties.
You people on this so-called
home front owe to these men i'm
proved working conditions upon
their return and you can be of
great help in this respect simply
by making your appearance at Lo-
cal 12 on January % or 23 and
cast your vote in the American
Can Unit elections.
PICKING YOUR CANDIDATES
In choosing your candidates 5e
sure to select those who are will
ing to give a great part of their
free time to the union and to your
problems. Pick only those whom
you honestly feel have the Union
in their minds, hearts and even
their souls. We want strong,
united committee to fight our
fights and aid our boys in service.
After this committee is selected it
will be expected of you to back
this committee and give them your
full support. This time let's all
work, not only the committee.
The coming year has all the ear
marks of a do-or-die job for the
union, and this writer feels that
if we won't do now and show in
dustry we mean business and have
no intention of taking back seat
in matters relating to our we'll be-
ing, we'll there won't be much use
in living.
Your first duty as citizen and
as a union member is to vote tpr
your leaders. Remember, the boys
at the front are depending on you.
Don't let them down. Vote and vote
wisely and in the meantime why
not drop the boys a line-they III
appreciate it.

ARTHUR STADLER

We would like to offer our sym
pathy to the wife and family 0.
Brother Arthur Stadler, who pass
ed away on the morning Of Decem.
ber 80, 1943. Brother Stadler was
the first trick steward Of Depart.
ment 268. He wa numbered among
the best union members and has
held seniority in this department
since June II, 1929,
Brother Stadlor always answer
ed the call whenever pickets were
needed and was first among the
volunteers for other union activi-
ties.
We are all going to miss Brother
Stadler and have lost a good mem
ber.
WRITE TO JAWN
One way in which you can help
us and yourself is by writing to
Governor John Bricker and asking
him to call a special session Of the
Ohio General Assembly as soon as
possible in order to provide: first
means for permitting our fight
ing men and women the real privi-
lege Of voting; second, to extend
the hours of voting on election
day; and third, to repeal the OHIO
sales tax.
Vital legislation affecting the
future of our soldiers as well as
our workers is in the making. We
dare not stand still. We all must
do our share. Act at once! If you
have a son, daughter, brother
sweetheart or a husband in the
service, write to the governor to-
day, and give them chance to
vote. Remember they are fighting
for all of us, and they deserve to
have a hand in the government for
which they are willing to lay down
their lives, if necessary, to pre-
serve. If they are old enough TO
fight, they are old enough to vote.
RED APPLE CLUB
When we think about the Old
Red Apple Club, many of US are
inclined to think of plants with
company unions; but wotinell is
it when you see guys bringing
pheasants and Christmas presents
to the boss in WHY'S Overland.
Some of these dopes are such
staunch followers of the boss that
they believe everything he tells
them and take what he dishes out
as though he were doing them a
great favor.
Most of these red apple polish
er's don't seem to realize that
everything they have in the way

WHY'S Seeing Eye

of union shop was the result OF
the work of the Union and not be-
cause of currying the favor Of one
Of the bosses. These fellows would
be lot better off if they would
try attending a Unit meeting oc-
casionally or get into the Union
movement and do something for
their fellow workers instead of
fawning over the boss like a
whipped puppy.
There's plenty of work for
everybody in the Unit who is in
terested in their own and the
brothers and sisters welfare. Why
not join one Of the standing COM
mittees such as the Welfare Com
mittee, or become member of the
Flying Squadron or some other
group in our Unit that is helping
build the union?
Don't let your boss kid you
about the raise he got for you.
He must believe you are stupid
or he wouldn't tell you that kind
of malarkey, because it was your
union who got you the raise with
the approval of the War Labor
Board. Practically the only time
the bosses ever go to the War
Labor Board is when they try to
keep the workers from getting a
raise or seniority or better work
ing conditions. Wake up, will you!
Instead of being an apple pol
isher for some of these bosses
who are secretly laughing up their
sleeves at you and calling you a
chump; instead of placing conf
dence in these people, why not
put more confidence in your Unit
officers? Your officers need your
confidence and help and support
a lot worse than the bosses do,
and you need theirs, so why not
try and snap out Of this red apple
stuff and get down to the facts
of life? Don't worry about the
boss, he got along before you dis
covered the red apple and he still
get along after you decide to quit
polishing it.
