Armstrong Reports Of Meet
ing Held With Officials
Of Cos Company

Local Union 124 started off the new
year in fine style. Attendance was very
good and we hope it will increase with
each meeting throughout the year.
There was Il lot of discussion about
the attitude of the daily press toward
labor, and the publishing of pending
strikes which have not happened as
yet. We resent such stories as labor
not going along with the war effort,
when it is we'll known that the labor
ing class has gone all out in their
efforts to produce the necessities for
our boys in the service. Why don't they
publish the big profits of some of the
system?
With the starting of Il new year we
look forward to the War Labor Board
handing down Il ruling on our paid
vacations The case has been pending
for some time now and we hope some
effort can be put forth which will in
spire the members of the WLB to
render Il decision.
President Armstrong, along with
representatives from other locals gave
Il report of meeting held with the
officials of the Manufacturers Light
and Heat Co., regarding the recent
gas shortage which forced many of the
plants to be idle during our Christmas
pay. This committee, headed by PreSi-
dent Duffy, is to be commended for
its efforts and we hope some solu-
ton may develop which will enable the
ing in future cold spells.
We have quite Il large number on

Cambridge, OhiO.-Local Union 122
held their last meeting on Dec. %
with the attendance somewhat below
holiday preparations. However, routine
matters received customary attention
and our officers for the new term We're
installed. Most committees were re-
appointed with only Il few changes in
personnel.
Attention was directed to the fact
tina all members interested in the wei
fare of their own organization, must
keep Il finger on the pulse of other
local and central bodies, noting signs
of healthy or unhealthy activity
through reports submitted to the AS
Sembled members by delegates and
committees in contact with other affili-
ateS.
In spite of labor'S nO-strike pledge
and the patience and tolerant accept
ance of frozen wages, and the hard
ships suffered through the rise in the
cost of living. we are told that any
increase granted labor beyond the II
per cent standard set-up by the Little
Steel formula, will cause imitation.
1t is quite apparent that the manu-
facturers group, aided by our column
lists in the daily press are overlooking
no opportunity to shackle labor and re-
turn them to the stone ages. Unions all

lax labor regulations in wartime 10
