Govt To Protect
Servicemen From
Lo0n Sharks

WASHINGTON, (LPA), Oct
21- Servicemen are reminded
upon release of regulations
about guarantees of loans for
purchases of homes made pos
sible by the CT Bill of Rights,
that the bill only allows the Vet
erans' Administration to guaran-
tee loans made by private lend
ers. The Veterans Administra-
ton sees as its special respon-
sibility the investigation of the
terms of purchase of the home
and seeing that the price charg-
ed the Serviceman is not higher
than it is really worth.

Seeing Eye-w.oUni' Unit

The fish story of the year has
leaked out in 382. Bill Kelly
and Ed Reinhardt went up to
Manatou Island in Georgian
Bay for a weeks fishing. They
caught SO many fish that the
ferry was grounded and they
had to wait three days over their
allotted time until enough water
flowed back into the bay to float
the ferry across. Next thing
you know they'll be telling us
that they made that huge mass
of fish get out and carry the
water in buckets in order that
they could float back in style,
and bring home the bacon, or
should we say fish.

PEOPLE ASK WHY
By Ted MOdrOwski

PEOPLE ASK WHY
The management doesn't let
our Company" waddle around
in the dirt the way we do? In
answer to this question we'll
give another question, "Why
does management do a lot Of
things they do?"
Some Of these part time work
ers like Maurice McEwen are
so "cocky". Maybe they never
heard Of the hatchet.
Thad Sikorski is having so
much trouble making up his
mind to become an Associate
Member?
Al Stults doesn't wake up to
the fact that people are watch
ing him just as much as he is
watching them. Cleveland had
an explosion too-remember?
Norm Parker doesn't start do
ing his own thinking?
1t is colder in the city than it
is in the winter?
Virginia .Ciepichal has her
transom tilted SO that she can
see out in the scrap yard? Ask
her.
Some people don't learn from
the mistakes of others. BY the
way, Mary Chizmar is practicing
the middle aisle strut. Tch, ten.
HERE AND THERE
Come up to the next unit
meeting and hear the reasons for
our long delay in the WLB case.
People VINO ask, What hap
pened at last nights meeting, .
can best find a satisfactory an
swer by attending last nights

Pauline Ritchie knows a good
story about F.D.R. speaking on
Republican platform. Ask her
to tell you.
Fred White, assistant to the
superintendent will not speak
to people under certain condi-
tions. One of these conditions
is when the chairman of the
American Can Unit is within
earshot. Get out of the gutter
Fred, you're a grown up mar
now. (There's room for argu.
ment on the man part l an

There really isn't great dea

WORKERS DECISION


We, the workers of this ma
ton, are greatly in need of a
decreased number of Tafts,
Brickers, Deweys and Rameys
and in their place greater
number of ROosevelts, Lausches,
Pickerals and Hunters.
We need President, Sen
ate, in fact, a whole Congress
who favor labor. We don't want
representatives of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
Financiers and Monopolies. We
know these things by now. We
surely remember that every bit
of legislation favorable to the
workers was voted down.
We must not forget that it was
Bricker, Dewey, Taft and Ramey
who had effrontery and nerve
to tell the world that organized
labor has no place in politics.
Labor will disprove that lie on
November z.
United States Senator Bridges
of New Hampshire, one of Tory
Taft's side kicks, speaking be-
fore a large audience recently,
said: "Only one minority group
is to be feared by the enemies
of labor and that one is the Po-
litical Activities Committee for
Social Legislation. This is com
posed of members of the ClC
and their friends" He went on
to explain that the PAC has the
largest potential membership
which through hard work Woulc
be able to get the ones elected
who would fight for the worker
and his rights; people against
big business.
We, of the PAC can make
Senator Bridges fear a reality
if we all pull together, what he
is afraid we will Go. Get labor''
representatives elected. Vote
for the right men!
YOU SHOULD BELONG
If men like these leading Re
publicans, fear the Political Ac
tivities Committee SO much, ther
this organization is the one L
which you should belong, L
you have not already done 50
sign up, and by all of us work
ing together and voting together
labor will win this coming elec
ton. Our gains will continue
to be gains and our losses will be
Iessened. The things we have
fought for, over such a Ions
period of time and finally OBJ
tanned, shall in the future still
be with us. The worker vii
continue to enjoy the benefit
of better working conditions AM
pay.
We notice that even Mr.
Bricker must fear our PAC or
ganization for he is deVotin!

nnand is apparent. Electrical ap-
plances, radios and vacuum
cleaners, floor coverings, furni-
ture, heating and plumbing equip
ment face period of expanding
sales. Postwar sales of all con-
sumers goods may be well above
the prewar volume and compare
favorably with sales during the
war period. I continue bullish upon
chain stores and other modern re-
tail outlets. Prices of many stocks
III this merchandise group are still
reasonable in relation to future
earnings and n view Of inevitable
initiation.
Aut0motive Reconversion
The entire automobile industry
continues practically 100 percent
II war work. Cars and trucks are
being used up fast although the
production of these is now rum
ming larger than in 1913. Earnings
should remain firm during 1914.
but the industry faces great re-
conversion problems and high re-
negotiation bills. Return to peace
time operations will be relatively
slow; also costly because of the
ultimate need for new machinery
and dies. Lower earnings are in
prospect for some manufa curing
units. The automobile accessories
group, however. should come back
rapidly.
Conclusion
Ou~. entire manufacturing econ
omy is most apt to be in a state
of flux during the early part Of
the postwar era; but sales and
distribution agencies will be reor-
gained rapidly. Orders will pile
up quickly for transmission to
manufacturers. Therefore, 1 am
very bullish on distribution, adj
vertising and general sales work.
This, in turn, will help newspa.
pers and magazines,-particularly
the newspapers. These last have
been charged with the task of
freely disseminating much gov
eminent information. They have
been greatly handicapped by both
newsprint and labor scarcities.
Despite many obstacles they have
done a thorough-going, workman
like job. I believe the entire news
paper business is a good postwar
bet and faces a period of further
expansion.

too lightly. Ruth Minett
They missed the ''You'' talk in
the letters they received = and
weren't at all impressed by the
supposedly morale-building, newsy
letters.
It's hard to understand why
women ever fell for that "fill up
your letters with news" advice,
anyhow
They wouldn't have - no matter
where the advice came from-lt
they had stopped to think JUST
what it was about the letters from
their own men and boys that they
remembered.
The part Of her husbands let
tiers that Sue Jones reads over and
over is the part about her and her
husband love for her.
The part Of her fiance's letters
that Clare Smith knows by heart
is the part where he plans for the
future and their life together.
THEY'RE SENTIMENTAL, TOO
And what Nom repeats out OF
the letter from her son Joe is how
much he would like to sit down
to one Of her fried chicken din
|ners.
It's the personal part Of the let
ter that is important to all those
women. And men are no different
in that respect. When they get let
tiers from the ones they love, they
want to hear how much they are
missed and how interested the
ones back home are in what they
are doing.
For news, send your man the
home town newspaper. Then make
your letters warmly personal.
