cured on August 13 when nine
guards were discharged by the
Champion Spark Plug Co. on
the ground that they were in
efficient. Services of the men
in the company's employe rang
ed from one to IL years.
Action of the company against
the guards was taken after they
had jointed Local IL a short
time ago. "It is certainly obvi-
Gus that the company is dis
eliminating against the union.
Then, to make their case look
good, they had nerve enough to
ask the union to give the men
their seniority retroactive to
their hiring date and to let them
work in the plant" said Mr..
Schultz.
The case against the Champ
ion Spark Plug is not ended ac-
cording to Mr.. Schultz who
stated that the union would
fight the action of the COM
pany until satisfaction is given
the discharged guards. If the
union wins, as it seems likely
1t will, the company will be re-
quired to return them to their
former positions with pay for
any lost time.
Die Hards
Referring to the case of the
American Brake Shoe Co. Presi-
dent Schultz said that the COM
pany tried to hand the employees
vacation checks for 40 hours
vacation at the time negotiations
were going on for 48 and 96
hours vacation pay.
Mr.. Schultz said that the
union had tried every means at
its disposal to get the manage
ments with.which the union has
relations to deal fairly. eve
can't force management to be
decent" he said, "but we can
and will present our case be-
fore the public so that manage
ment will be not able to con-
tinue to make us show to dis
advantage" he said.
All cases in which manage
ment has Disseminated or pro-
voked the workers unnecessari-
ly will be publicized in the
future according to Mr.. Schultz.

NOn-Partisan Organization
There is some doubt in the
minds of some people as to the
policy of our organization on
endorsing candidates for office.
Our organization is. strictly non
partisan, and we support the
candidate whom we believe will
do the best job for labor re-
gardless of party affiliations.
We are now launching a reg
istration campaign. Fifty thou
sand questionaires are being
distributed in the shops to de-
termine how many people are
registered. An earnest effort
will be made to get these peo-
pie who have not yet reg
istered to do so Immediately.
Membership in PAC is one
dollar per year. We urge every
one who does not belong to our
organization to come to the
PAC office Room 410, on the
fourth floor of 425 Winthrop
st. and take out membership.
Each member will be assign
ed to his proper ward or town
ship according to the district in
which he lives. More details
on our program and structure
will be given in subsequent col
umns.
You cannot vote for candi-
dates favorable to labor unless
you are registered. Everyone
living in the City not registered,
Or who have moved in the last
two years, or those failing to

tions, should go at once to The

Senators interpreted his position
as demanding that all powers

hands. Point by point, Clayton
opposed all safeguards for small

disposal bill proposed by Rep.

Attack Clayton's Policies
At almost exactly the same
time as Clayton's appearance,
an attack on his land disposal
deputies and their plans was
made by Asst. Attorney General

disposal are inviting disaster"

ECkLEY GUERIN IN
THRILLING RESCUE
ON ALA5kACOAS1

| Eckley Guerin, well known Jul
neau Young man, Is one of the prin-
cipals named in an Illustrated story
| in a recent issue of a military mag
azine regarding some OF the thrill
ing experiences engaged in, in the
Il line of duty by men aboard
P-boats to the Westward or along
the Alaskan coast.
When the dense fog lifted enough
along an Alaskan beach for the
crew to see bonfires, Guerin of Ju-
neau and It's Wesley Sieber OF
Palmer volunteered to take dory
into shore from the Army rescue
vessel P-145. With them went the
ships doctor, LIST It. Louis H. Moody
of Takoma Park, Maryland, and a
litter to pick up a soldier at an
isolated spot who was seriously i'll
with appendicitis, and another with
an infected tooth.
In spite of heavy swell and a
high wind, the dory made good time
to the shore and returned with the
appendicitis patient, who was given
quick examination by the med
ical officer who decided a quick OPP
Grafton was necessary.
Guerin and Sieber then made a
second fast trip to shore and pick
ed up the second soldier, as there
was not room on the first trip, and
he was taken to the P-145. Then
the little craft lifted anchor and
got underway, and in spite of a
heavy swell and wind made good
time back to base, where a shore
barge and ambulance were waiting
and the patients were rushed to a
hospital. Successful operations were
performed on both patients.
Mercy errands like this mission
are just extra chores for the Gath
Quartermaster Company Boat
(aviation) whose crews are station
ed along the Alaska mainland and
far out on the Aleutian range. The
outfits main task Is to rescue filters
who have fallen into the bitter seas
