We hope that our members
listened, the other night to the
Great John Bricker, who spout
ed off like mortally wounded
whale from st. Louis Wednes-
day, October 3rd. It's really
too bad if you didn't, for what
he tried to tell the world at
large would certainly make any
one Of you laugh along with us.
His attempt to spread such pro-
paganda was pathetic. He tried
to say that every member of the
CIO was sand bagged into do
mating to the Political Action
Committee; this is falsehood
number one. We aren't Repuo-
licans, we don't sand bag any
one. Then he hinted broadly
that all members of the CIO
were Communists and were sub
ject to the orders of Sydney
Hillman; lie number two. He
ran on about the depression dole
that Roosevelt gave the workers
after he was elected President,
We again would like to point out
that the dole he referred to so
Sc a tic ally was a great
deal better than the mouldy
food and the spoiled meat that
was dished out by the Hoover
administration. I'm der the
Bricker rule, we even had to
pay sales tax on the cigarettes
and other articles that we sent
to our men and women serving
in the armed forces of the U. S.
A. Yes, the one and only Mr..
Bricker made us do this; the
great liberal as he is termed by
his party members showing his
true colors. Speaking of an
other who too, is called liberal
by his party members is none
other than the great corporation
orator Robert Taft, u. S. Sena-
tor from Ohio. He's a swell lib
eral they say, yet he does not
bother to recognize in any man.
ner the workers of this great
state nor their rights.
We wonder just what satisfac-
tory name we, the true laborer,
can righteously apply to Philip
Murray and Dick Gosser to war
rant the grand sacrifices that
they made in the name of hui
manity for US. And now, the one
outstanding man of all great
| liberals, Franklin D. Roosevelt
is being attacked by m a y
mouth orators like Dewey and
Bricker. Let us not be mislec
but let's continue to believe ano
follow in our presidents foot
steps. Labor has benefited by
his rule, we the common work
er, want to continue to benefit.
Support him and his followers
to your utmost ability.
We have other men from the
ranks of labor who have worked
and are still working unceasing-
ly for better working conditions
and better wages for all of us.
They are Pickeral, running for
! Taft's position; and John Hunt
er, who was defeated by Ramey
two years ago. Vote for these
men for in that way you are
assuring yourselves that you are
placing into position, fighters;
men who will fight for you and
your families. Do not allow the
Tafts and the Rameys to be
elected again. Vote November
the 7th and in voting, be sure
that it is for labor and labor
friends that you cast your ballot.
Carl Slosser of Dept. 100 who
has many times professed his
love for his union and its mem
bers has had a change of heart.
1t seems that Carl wanted more
money or more power or pos
sibly both and he grasped the
golden plum that was dangled
before him. He's now great
big boss under Mr.. Sheriff. in

How many of you know that
our peerless band leader is a
great exponent in the use of his
fists. Neither did we until we
saw him in battle royal a few
weeks ago. You were 0. X,
Carmen, as you put your men
on their knees several times:
The members of the Willys
Unit of Local IL UAW-CIO
