 The other point still under dis pute between the company and the union is the showers for dirty work" painters in the Victory yard. Commander Hardy, for the Navy, sanctioned their installation but the management baked at in- stalling these showers as they con- tended it would be a foolish waste of money to install equipment that would never be used. The dirty work" painters committee contend these showers would be used and that the lack of showers facilities has been a standing grievance since the inception of dirty work" in the Victory yard area, the maintenance of which is directly up to the Navy.

the day girls ask how Chappie rated his grandstand seat. Well, folks, I not only rated 1t but got paid to keep it-that is what made 1t so interesting. Also I sure had good chance to see folks with the feathers off. When I find out a few names I'll tell you just how you looked.

 If Ogden Driggs can find 30 much work for men after the war, he had ought to be able to produce work for the twenty-five or more men from the machine shop who were turned in for not working when the work was not there to be done.
 We are getting more and more grievances about men that have been here two or three years and are still in the lower brackets. When these men ask for more money they are let out because the foremen say that they are not worth more. Did 1t take the fore men all this time to find this out? Can we let the company spend the price of Vox Pop program which

If this keeps up, everything will be farmed out and all our shops will be used for storerooms for good fresh air.

 have seen petitions sent around the yard in regard to a change of hours, so that everyone gets Sat- urday afternoon off. That would be fine or at least 1t sounds fine, but have you stopped to think who started these fine changes or how they are going to affect you? First the only petition that ever had any backing at all was started by a few foremen and some of their stooges. Things started that way are not what we want. If we are going to have change of hours, I for one, say that every man in the plant should vote on the bill. Vote to be taken in the yard on com pany time so to be sure that all AAOA NVtOs Al tAS Noy AAGn 00VS three times as many men as the night men, vote should be 8 per- centage vote. Now for the day men, would you like to come in half an hour earlier mornings? If so, vote for the change. Do you night men want to work three quarters of anq hour later and get out of here in time to see the sun rising just as you are tTcking the sheets around your head? If so, vote yes. I, for one, and know lots of others that say let's leave well enough alone. We are going nicely as is. The last time we changed hours I heard men com plaining for nearly two months also several men left the yard. We hear complaints enough now and we all know we have no men to lose with the Graft board doing their bit. Think twice, fellows, be- fore you jumpl
 A few nights ago I heard @ con- verSation in the mems rest room that went as follows: Welder H. What time is 1t, Bud7 Welder #2- Seven o'clock. Welder #1-Weu. guess I'll go out and burn about three pounds of wire just to mako 1t look good. Welder #2-HaI hai
 These two welders are a couple of our new men that just came in at the new high coming-in rates l believe, If we are going to have welders come in just to burn wire to make 1t look good, that these men are not ever going to take the place of the good welders that we have lost to the Army. That is only one reason why we see SO much work farmed out.
 We are taking a lot of notice how the girl welders and burners have been leaving the Fab Shop for the past six months. Twenty one we can name. The repreSen- tatives also are getting lot of dirt in their cars at the same time. think 1t nearly time we got to- gether to do little Investigating in this matter and find out if what we hear is true. Come out with it, girls-that is what we represent you for. The company needs you here, SO don't walk away unless you really have a good reason, and not then, until you call on your union representative.
 Don't see much of the so-called red head welder-she has left Block ri. but most of the boys have their eyes on the new blonde "a real southern belle. Also she Is not married. Look out, boys, this Is leap year.
