On Which Side Are You?


 Things are beginning to take shape-comng to a head Slowly surely the yard here at Electric Boat is assu Ing all of the aspects of Union yard Security is in the air. Major grievances of long standing issue have been set tied along with every daythe current that are rise and face representatives and the management Our business agent and our attorney have been to Washington and those cases pending there Will soon be settled with our new affiliate, the A. F. of L doing eryhing canand do plentyto hurry them along to satisfactory conclusion Examinations have about reached the last stages and ready to settle down and do ob-the job WE CAN DO-the job that HAPPY, SATISFIED and SECURE WORKMEN do everywhere when they feel that they part of the and Is to their advantage to see their company prosper.
 The different craft Unions that part of have part received their charters and elected their officers and are now ready to function their members ready to function in true A. F. of L. mannerdemocratc efficient and with capable and experienced leadership Dr. ganizaons made up of E. B. and women-E. B. men proud of their craft and proud to belong to the UNION OF THEIR CRAFT.
 Only two things remain-and that is to get the fence rers off their fences and into Unon-and to get the trouble makers out the yard and from here where they with their small trouble making minds cannot make any trouble for These the things remaining to be done Soon now-yes very soon those of us who have made these ganshs progress possible going to get sick of listening to the trouble makers make trouble and we going be forced to do something about it.
 To refuse to work side by side with non-union Der nothing and eventually the fence radders and
 
 be makers will find ourselves with alternative except to refuse to work with them WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT GOING OUT AND FIGHTING FOR CONDITIONS HERE allow the participants to participate in our victory we are not going to allow those who do not deserve ward to be rewarded We beginning to show a- miraculous progress relations with management and i the progress being made in this yardt is all due to cooperation and unity of spirit that most o the D. workers have shown thru their desire for the UNION REPRESENTATION-wha earth have the donothings In our yard contributed to this progress? What have they done except nothing and to criticize? Criticize those who ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING and whom by their very DO NOTHING ATTITUDE they hndering. Why should these sackers these shrkers be entitled anything that the good UNION PEOPLE of this yard fought for and got? If they do not want to hep they do not want to be part of the organized and fighting and ACCOMPLISH ING group then why don't they got out? Are they waiting for trouble to get them out?
 Working peope-nteligent working people of this country everywhere realize that only thru unity they ret anywhere the goal that ORGANIZED LABOR con- santly strives the thinking sensible unselsh work CT KNOWS THAT THAT GOAL IS HIS GOAL TOO. The thinking sensible unselfsh worker WANTS TO BE PART of this movement that Is for him and his. HE HATES THOSE THAT ARE WORKERS and yet strive to impede the PROGRESS OF THE WORKER. And he should because there Is no reason under the why ALL WORKERS SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF THE UNION And those workers who love and respect their fellow workers DO BE- LONG. Ask yourself ON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU?
