UNIONISM

This Union has not had strike in it's six years of isence On several occasions the Union officials have vented spontaneous strikes of various groups The Union officials have gone to extreme limits to keep up poducton without interruption and to peaceful and less forcefu methods of settling grievances and troubles of the workers
 Yet the leaders of this Union always knew and forgot that the right to strike is Unions right right leg left and left leg Unless the Union srke it is either not Union ptful cripple Without Union, workers licked before they start No single worker cope with big company.
 The Union has called strike. All loyal Union bers know their duty and will it out. Not single Union member will be at work after the strike is called Furthermore all Union members know and will carry out their duties the picket nes
 Employees who not members of the Union have to choose between stabbng their fellow Union workers in the back which they would be doing they remained at work during the strike else sticking by the Union which pro- duced $250000 for them in vacation money and retroac tive Will they be grateful and believe in organized la Dor and unonism?

 I know this to be a fact, as ! have read many letters of this na- ture of late, and it's the kind my own soldier boy writes to me. We can never repay our G. I. Joes and c. I. Bills in full for their noble deeds, no matter how far we go. Theirs is the supreme riSk-there is no limit-they go all the ways or else. The climax of this hor. rible war is at hand. The show~ down is not far away; so when it's over lover there" and our brave men return, let's show them in words, in actions and deeds our gratitude, our appreciation and our love for them all everyone.
 We'll give them the hand of honor, loyalty and sincerity; we'll show them how we really love them. They have it coming to them; let's see that they get it, folks; let's see that they get even more. If we, each and everyone, try and help one man find his road and way back to happy, peace- full life, it will be only small debt to pay with a million thanks.
 Today every man who holds q gun in his hand has a prayer in his heart = all prayers are the same. His spirit Is as high as the heavens even though his body sli- thers in mud. His prayer means only that Victory will soon be his and then HOME, the next place to Heaven.
 So say let's all fght-we may but we can hold our jobs and stand at attention with our men. Seldom ever does one come across a job as important and as big as the one we hold today. They are in it-So are we.

 I sincerely hope 1t will be served with relish-as Bob Hope says, Where there's a laugh there's Hope" :.
 But truly, folks, this article is far from being funny or with that intent; it's far too serious. Nat urally, being at leisure for a few days I have been more observing than usual and although enjoy to the utmost watching the growing things of Mother Nature, birds, the butterflies, etc, some how my mind turns to other prob lems, and directly points to the status of our everyday repetitions of tears and heartaches.
 In spite of the selfish wrath and denunciation of those who dared to betray us and impose on Our hospitality, our abilities and national interests are in the lead for our survival and will acquire and bring about our ultimate vic- tory. It seems that each and every one are busy in which they are engaged. They all seem to have a part; it's obvious and doesn't need to be overemphasized.
 We all feel its America first, last and always. That is our song. To have a peaceful future and world to live in, we must prepare for it. May our love of country and God keep our ambitions alive that we may work more, play more, provide and protect our loved ones and those who serve us. To keep our boys moving for ward, we must keep our industries moving onward. So folks, to help and to do for those lover there" let's keep right on doing over here.
 Too, let us remember that men without weapons are as vital as appetites without food. It all adds up to the same. Please don't for get to write those letters to our boys serving our country - they are looking and watching for them daily. Our letters and a word from home stimulates them and

If Superman is any criterion, radio listeners must like trouble" says Allan Ducovny, producer of Mutual's spine-tingling "Adven- lures of Superman'' series, heard Mondays through Fridays at 5:45 to p. m., over WNLC. "The more difficulties we lay in the path of the super-being, the better listen CTS like it, continues the express agent who six months ago became a radio director for "Superman." ''If we let up for a single minute, the audience immediately starts complaining. From youngster to grandpa and grandma, they all crave excitement, as much as they can get, and the more trouble Su- perman gets into the better.

Cruise Quits Business
 Agent Post

At the special meeting of the General Committee held last Fri day, Business Agent Harold Cruise quit his job as Union Business Agent.
 His resignation has been ru- mored for several weeks and even before the Union went out on strike; so this action did not come as any great surprise to members of the General Committee.
 For some time, majority of the Executive Committee have been dissatisfied with the way in which this job was being carried out and Cruise has known that he was without the support of any mem Der of the Executive Committee ever since the June meeting of the General Committee, when his re- tention for another six months came up and not single member of the Executive Committee spoke in his favor to the general body.
 The Executive Committee mem- bers at that time made no com- plaints about Cruise either, al- though dissatisfaction was widely prevalent at that time. If the Ex- ecutive Committee had made com- p1aints, there Is no doubt that Cruise would not have been re- tained because he just made 1t with bare majority at that June meeting.

Who Is Union Steering Comm?

The Union Steering Committee which has been empowered by the General Committee to handle all matters pertaining to the strike but without the power to call 1t off, is composed of the Union offi- cers, the Union Executive Commit tee and a number of Union rep reSentativeS, and members selected by the Executive Committee and the Steering Committee itself. As the work, in connection with the strike, increases, the Committee Is expanding its numbers. At every meeting, new members are added. No list can be up to date. The list which follows, is not intended to be complete list and by the time this issue of the Sub appears, the size of the Committee may be dou- bled or even tripled. The following list includes the attendance at one recent meeting and is printed in this issue of the Sub to answer the false Company rumors that the Union Steering Committee is hiding its identity.

REBUILDING The RAILROADS
(San Diego UniOn)

(San Diego OnlOn)
While our world-visioned statesmen
are furrowing their browS and planning
to spend billions for the rebuilding and
rehabilitation of Europe, there is ma
ior Job of this character at home which is
being frustrated by governmental agen-
cy. That is the gigantic task of bringing
the equipment of the American railways
up to postwar needs. This is a task
which is not only vital to the transporta-
tiOn of the country, but which bears
heavily on the general matter of our
postwar prosperity. Railroad employ
mcnt and railroad prosperity are perhaps
the most accurate gauge of economic
conditions. Full employment at high
wages means prosperity for the country
at large; low employment at low wages,
the reverse.
Our rail carriers have been wearing
out equipment, tracks and bridges at a
terrific pace to handle the abnormal de-
mands of war transport. If we have any
serious revival of civilian production,
they will require millions of dollars
worth of locomotives, cars. rails and 9th
er essentials. To produce these goods will
require the employment of hundreds of
thousands of workers, from men in the
mines and timber lands to the highest
skilled mechanics in factories. But this
big contribution to employment cannot
be made The reason it cannot be made
is that the railroads are forbidden by
the government to set aside financial
reserves to meet the needs of rehabilita-
ton.
AS usual conflict between two fed
eral agencies is involved in the situation,
the Interstate Commerce Commission has
ruled that the roads may set aside re-
building and expansion reserves out of
net income But the Internal Revenue
department rules that such reserves are
taxable as profits. So the income tax
department continues to take over the
bulk of possible reserve income in the
form of taxes The result is that in order
to lay away 81 for postwar requirements,
the roads have to lay away S5.46, of which
S4.46 go to taxes.
The treasury department rules that its
collection of these taxes is required by
the existing tax laws, regardless of the
ruling of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission permitting reserves-As the treas
ury is sustained in its Interpretation of
the law, the only prospect of relief for
the railways is by legislation specifically
covering the subject Such legislation, as
a matter of good business sense, should
be passed without delay.

NATIONS MAIN SPORTS
EVENT KEEPS THRILLS

Just how many millions of people are
in annual tune with one of the biggest
times in sports is hard to determine, but
mighty few are not right now watching
that old score board in the baseball class
ic at st. Louis.
In rounding out the season again,
Americans have proved that they can
keep many such institutions alive in war
time That sports has contributed some
of its best men to the armed services and
it is notable that there was a minimum
of effort to keep them out for sports
sake
There have been upsets, of course, IN
standings of teams in the various leagues,
but fans and players alike have taken
such things at full stride.
No matter how serious the war and
its emergencies, it is eminently fit that
we as a nation cling to all that tends to
upbuilding spirit, that retains morale
and contributes to unity. A good clean
sport like baseball is one of these agen-
cieS
