worker must answer during our
working hours. Questions that
are still on our minds while we
play. We must answer them 20
our own satisfaction. Let's run
over few Of the major issues
that we must decide upon in the
next year or two. You must de-
termine the answers to the fol-
lowing:
What kind of country do you
want this, our United States, to
be after the war? Do you want
it to be run by concern like the
National Association of Manu-
facturers, the Chamber of Com
merce or by you and people like
you?
Do you desire steady employ
ment after the victory is ours?
Thas is a question we are sure
we can answer for you. We all
want steady employment in the
future. In order for us to OBJ
tain same, we must follow the
policies of our union and its Of
ficers.
How much money do you
imagine you are going to earn?
We can tell you this much. If
the workers and members of or
ganized labor do not rise and
voice their opinion in November
for labor the vested interests that
control the Congress voting
power and the big industrial in
terests will try to shove a gem
eral wage cut down our throats.
How many hours each week
will constitute our working
week? Brothers and Sisters that
decision rests with you. If we
stay united we will win. There
is no other way. Let us choose
our own kind of unemployment
insurance. We are not satisfied
with the kind of pile up money
Bricker and his gang wished on
us. With the amount of surplus
money that is earmarked for this
fund we should receive thirty
dollars a week for forty weeks.
We are not satisfied to give only
one per cent to Social Security
for it will not amount to very
much per month when you get
to old to work.
What about Public Works?
Are you going to let the Tafts,
Burtons, and Rameys tell you
that you cannot have a job work
ing for the government.
How about medical care from
the cradle to the grave that is
offered in the Wagner, Murray,
Dingle Bill? Are you going to
let bunch of doctors who are
scattered all over the country
and who belong to the Academy
of Medicine sell you down the
river.
We sincerely hope that you
are going to stand by the re-
quirements of Article of the
UAW Constitution. Vote the
same as an elected officer has to.
Get out your constitution and
read this article. Act with your
officers.
Be sure you are registered at
217 Superior st. just next to the
Esquire Theatre.
