women available in the local labor
market, according to Director
Staley of the u. S. Employment
Office in Cumberland. Many of
the jobs now held by men must
inevitably be taken over by wom-
en- before the war is over. The
local recognizes this necessity.
But, instead of developing a
policy jointly with the union, Man.
agement has introduced women in
such way as to seem TO threaten
long-established union customs and
privileges. Why was it necessary
for the man with the greatest
seniority in Engineering Stores 10
be replaced, when he was not even
of draft age?
1t has even happened that on
plea of "manpower shortage" the
company shifted men off one job
and onto another where women
were already working. Naturally,
such tactics are mediation to
trouble.
PLANT STILL ON 40 HOURS
It Is difficult to convince the
average Celanese worker that
q manp0wer crisis exists when
the standard time at the plant Is
still 40 hours per week.
Several dozen workers have been
furloughed in Downtwist in the
last few weeks following months
of short time. No special effort
has been made to absorb these
workers into the other depart
ments in such a way as to assure
them seniority rights. Some Of
them will be prevented from ac-
quiring seniority rights at all,
precisely by these layoffs.
Yet the company has made ar
engagements in the past by which

tration, Acetone Recovery and
Spinning was investigated last
year by government experts, but
Spinning Room leaders say that
they have never seen the report.
Certainly men notice the effects
Of the acetone. Their systems
become 80 saturated with the
fumes that they get intoxicated
with one bottle of beer, accord
Ing to reports; and that Is q
serious matter for o Cumberland
worker, II only because Il affects
his pride.
Old-timers I'm the Spinning
Room are accustomed to digestive
troubles which they attribute to
the fumes. On top Of the ma
chimes the fumes are SO thick
that Jet wipers become dizzy
with them. Spinners say that
when they blow their noses,
blood comes out. They have TO
lie down for a time on arriving
home to let the effects Of the
fumes pass of.
This is the effect on men. What
Is the effect on women?
The position of Local 1874 should
in my opinion take the following
lines:
(I The local will make every
effort to help the war along. 1t
will not interfere with war pro-
duction, and 1t will seek TO aid
the Army in getting all the men
1t needs. This was the action of
the membership meeting Feb. 10
and the union still sticks to Its
position.
(2) The local believes that
many of the issues artificially
created by the cOmpany's provo
cative attitude could be settled
anicably if the company would
start from the same premise.
49, In view Of the above facts,
Local 1874 should propose that
conference or series of confer
ences be arranged involving the
union, the company, and repre-
sentatives of the government, at

workers were moved from one de-
partment TO another on temporary
loan; or IL the workers preferred,
they could get permanent trans
fer.
Instead of making special efforts
TO keep workers on the job, the
management is apparently using
any small pretext to fire them.
Only recently, workers have been
fired for such trifling things as
saying a vulgar word to a fore
man. or allegedly going too often
to the Mushroom. A department
head was fired for taking the part
of man who was caught in this
wave of firings.

OF the three major figures in

to be loved; Jung that he wants

desire is insistent in all OF us.

You have TO be a master dip

become successful director in
Hollywood. You have TO know
how TO handle temperament,
and use psychology more than
camera angles.
Il was about TO do picture
which had native locale, ST.

lar fellow before but he had a
reputation for being tempera-
mental The problem was TO get
him TO the point TO allow his
hair TO be cut in the manner pc
culiar to the tribe.
After talking to him, Simon
Immediately knew that if he
asked him TO cut his hair he d
have a fight on his hands and a
consequent delay in time. A
thing like a haircut might even
threaten TO cancel a picture -
one never knows.
So said Simon, Il tried the
