ABOUT THE PEOPLE

Bert Wake (the former jockey
has now given up his second love,
Ping Pong. 1t seems Bert teamed
up with one Of the boys and for a
period of about seven months was
winning all the boys nickles. Sud
denly out of a clear sky Bert and
his partner lost their first three
games in that period and had to
pay off. To Bert this just wasn't
cricket, he shouldn't lose, so he
accused his partner Of deliberately
throwing the games and refused
to play anymore. He's real sport.
Your actions shoy wou as an over
aged baby Bert, wake up. Be an
American and learn to take defeat
as we'll as victory.
We hear Earl Jones is still
swinging the axe at Mike Konczal.
Keep swinging Earl, we promise it
will find it's mark soon.
Elmer Seegert makes the claim
that the Gestapo is the most CO.
operative supervisor in the plant
which comes somewhat as a sur
prise. Maybe the fellow is begin
ming to see the light.
Floyd Madrzykowski cornered
one of the new members of the
unit the other day who was Won
dering what we pay a dollar a
month for and told him a thing
or two about the pre-union days.
After he had heard about half of
what could have been told he asked,
How come we only pay a dollar
a month ?"
Louie Krempa says there isn't
anything wrong with the War
Labor Board it's just the rotten
decisions they hand down. What
else do you want Lou?
Ray Samberg told this writer
never to put his name in this col
umn. Well Ray just keep your nose
clean and you won't have to worry.
Mona Polcyn offers these en-
couraging words, "Cheer up, it
may not be So"
Norm Simmons says that his
Department has promised to at
tend all unit meetings. How is
your department?
To all you guys up on the
fourth floor (me tool keep away
from that gay divorcee. Who
knows, she may be another Peggy
Joyce Hopkins in search of another
victim.
The girls in Dept. / are out of
luck. Snubby Polcyn has a Varga
calendar and has decided to let
the rest of the world go by.
Frances Olszewski and Elsie
Blazey are two of the firmest be-
lever in Leap Year we have ever
seen. Take it easy girls, this is
only the second month. A brighter
season is sure to come.
To those people who send letters
to this writer asking to print
dirt" we are sorry. This column
is not meant to hurt any of our
members and all that is written is
in fun. If you have some dirt
about somebody that you feel will
do your union good to be published
we will gladly accept same after
verification, If you have any
more letters to write remember
we have boys in service who
would appreciate hearing from
YOU.

WASHINGTON (FP)-Backing
President Roosevelt to the hilt in
his appeal for national unity, the
CIO executive board called on all
its affiliated unions to observe re-
ligiously the no-strike pledge. II
unanimously opposed q national
service act and opened a nation
wide drive for a stabilized econ
omy. demanding revision of the
little steel wage formula.

Supply
CONTRACT

We realize there is considerable
feeling around the shop due tc
delay in getting our contract in
force. 1t requires time for the
War Labor Board to act, a fact
which has been brought out SC
many times that it is unnecessary
to repeat it again. On the other
hand, we can exercise a little
more patience since the new con-
tract and the company's counter.
proposal were just sent into the
WLB last week. There is still
time to take whatever steps may
be necessary should the WLB de-
lay unnecessarily.

course, Uncle Sans Marines.

TIME CHANGE
Eddie Bailey at Champion Spark
Plug has noticed that times
change. 1t used to take two sheep
two years to produce material for
the outfit of a we'll dressed wo-
man. Now a silkworm can do it
all on his Sunday afternoon off.
Do you suppose Eddie is referring
to Gypsy Rose Lee?
THE FLAG
What does the flag mean to you.
The American flag i. the symbol
of unalterable liberty and loyalty
that characterizes it everywhere.
1t is a symbol of honesty and
equity in government guaranteed
by the Constitution. The flag rep
resents our inalienable right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, and if we fail to exercise
that right without ballot, we are
disloyal to the flag and personally
responsible for the dishonesty
that may creep into our govern
ment.
Every thread of the flag repre-
sents something or somebody you
love. There is a thread that repre-
sents your union, and above all,
there is one that represents you.
Your governemnt, as well as your
union will be just what you make
it. Don't fail to vote at elections.

The Scale
WHAT THEY SAY

Didia ever see President Koontz
and Secretary Hannah whispering
together? Makes me think about
the catcher walking out to the
pitchers mound to whisper to him
when a dangerous batter is up. Of
course, Gene is a worn-out ball
player and maybe learned his
stuff there. Anyhow, here's the
kind of conversation we imagine
goes on:
Gene: l hear the CIO is going
to ask for another election.
jim: Yeah. 1t looks kinda bad.
Gosh, Gene, it seems that our fel-
las are getting more dissatisfied
all the time.
Gene: Well, there's lots of
things wrong, but how can we
help it when Mr.. Richards and
Mr.. Heron never say anything
but no when we talk to them. l
sure find my job tough.
jim: Between you and me,
Gene, we don't seem to be getting
anywhere. l don't know what to
do about it. Sometimes l think
we'd both be better off if we'd tell
the people the truth and let them
know we really can't do anything
for them.
Gene: No, no! We can't do that,
Jim. We've got to try and bluff
this thing through. Maybe the
management can think up some
good stunt to pull that will save
our nice union jobs for US. I'd
rather be president of the Scale
Workers than just an ordinary
member of a real union, wouldn't
you?
jim: Well, dunno. Maybe I'm
pessimistic, but | know we can't
fool all these people much longer.
I'm getting kinda shaky the way
these people are asking me about
the things the big boys upstairs
always say no to.
Gene: Well, Jim, I'll tell you.
/ think I'll string along with the
factory office. Those boys up
there are smart. They'll think up
some way to kid the people into
believing the CIO is something
awful, and they'll vote for the
Scale Workers again.
Jim: ! wish / shared your con-
fidence in the big boss. I have it
on reliable authority that a big
gang of our people have signed up
with the CIO. l wish we could
find out who all these people are,
I'll bet we could make it plenty
hot for them. What do you think?
Maybe Roy Shell could find out
who they are. He's smart. He
knows how to find out about peo-
pie.
Gene: Well, don't know about
that. Pm not so sure you can de-
pend on Roy. The hell of it is that
Roy acts like he's about as fed up
with our union as some of the
guys we know belong to the CIO.
He even admits to anyone who
asks him that we're not getting
any place. No, we better not look
for any help from Roy.
Jim: Nix, Gene, here comes a
CIO man. Let's bust this up be-
fore we find our conversation re-
corded in the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL.
At this, the two hurriedly
Asted. Jim walked rapidly to the
Il .rt room, while Gene went

seek advice on how to run the
Scale Workers of Ohio.

portant date to every member Of
the Acklin Unit, because that IS
the day set aside for you to elect
your shop committee for the COM
ing year.
Hours for voting will be from
11:00 am. TO 500 pm. at Local II
headquarters, 425 Winthrop St. Be
sure and bring your card or receipt
with you in order to be eligible to

JUST A WORD
Just a word about the election.
Ours is a democratic organization
of, by and for the members. 1t IS
to the best interest of everyone to
vote for those whom they believe
will do the most conscientious job.
Don't vote for an officer merely
because you like him, or because
somebody asks you to. Vote your
own, not someone else convictions.
There are many good people run
ming for the executive committee
this year. Not everyone can be
elected; but l am positive that
those who are will do their duty,
and that who are not will give
their elected officers their fullest
support.
| hope everyone will make it a
point to vote next Sunday and TO
make their choice in all sincerity
based upon good union principles.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT
Just a reminder to all stewards
and committeeman: Whenever
there is a death in the immediate
family of your departmental
members, please notify Russell
Riley at once. We offer our apollo
gies to the brother in Dept. al
who lost his mother and did not
receive flowers at the time of
her death. We will try and pre-
vent any repetition of this.
We all have to learn sometime,
and some learn faster than others.
incidentally, we are wondering if
Larry McGee stopped wearing
his hat because of an enlarge
ment of the head.
The monkey hats which are be-
ing worn by Gosling and Fisher
are earning them a good ribbinS
from the flat scrapers. We under
stand a collection is being taken
up to buy them a grind organ and
monkey to put them in business.
The window in Dept. Sc was
broken and Dick Stambaugh was
standing around with woebegone
look on his phiz. Nuff sed.
"Arthritis" Gueldenzo and ear
trouble" Bill Denman recently took
part in a golf foursome with Wes-
ley Harris and Wilber Mark. The
boys said they would wait until
summer before trying to beat a
couple of young guys like Harris
and Mark. We gather the Rheu-
matte and Ears didn't do so good.
Frank Trawinski, formerly en-
ployed in the National Supply, Wis
tied in the shop when he was home
recently on furlough. Frank is in
the engineers.
Thanks from Art Cowell to his
fellow workers for the flowers re-
ceived at the time of his brothers
death.
Lester Lake is the new steward
in the Inspection Dept. Give the
lad a hand, boys, and he'll give
you one in return.
We don't mind a fellow mooch-
ing a little tobacco, but when his
pipe is as large as Eddie Curry's,
that isn't mooching any more. He
gets the big bowl filled up, goes
back to his job and then smokes
a smaller pipe, which he fills from
the large one. Then, to add insult
to injury, he asks someone for
match.
We are glad that our shop did
well in the bond drive. Thanks to
all those who gave it their sup
