Riqhf To Criticize
Government
Upheld

DENVER, Feb 20 (FP)-Two
out of three Americans believe
that newspapers should have the
right to criticize the form of
government in peacetime, a sur
vey conducted by the National
Opinion Research Center, Uni
versity of Denver, reveals.
Question put to cross section
of the population was: In peace
time do you think newspapers
should be allowed to criticize
our form of government" An
swers were: yes - 66To; no -
800; undecided-T &C.
AS check on the consistency
of the opinions, this question
was also asked: 'In peacetime,
do you think the Socialist Party
should be allowed to publish
newspapers in this country"
Answers were: yes-57fo; no
25So; undecided-18eo.
The high undecided vote, the
research center said, probably
indicates a considerable degree
of uncertainty and lack of infor-
nation regarding just what the
Socialist Party is and what sort
of newspapers it might publish.

alone it would increase the
number of workers on the job
each day by 24,000.
While the size of the accident

Raging
The Scale
MORE CONVERSATION

In our last stint we wrote
about an imaginary conversation
between President Gene Koontz
and Secretary Jim Hanna of the
Scale Workers of Ohio. This is
another between Mr.. Richards,
plant manager, and Mr.. Heron,
personnel manager.
Mr.. Richards: What do you
think of these guys, Heron?
(Meaning Koontz and Hanna,
who had just left his office with
a hang-dog expression on their
bare facesO
Mr.. Heron: Well, Dick, I'll
tell you. It's good thing for us
that the president of the Scale
Workers isn't smart; but | think
this Hanna isn't stupid. I'm
afraid that we had better be
careful or we'll have the CIO IN
here sitting in our laps before
we're done. Believe me, Ricn-
ards, it's going to be bad day
for us with the old man if and
when the CIO gets into this
plant.
Mr.. Richards: Well, what the
hell can we do? Can we help it
if this guy Koontz muffs the ball
lust like he did when ne was
playing baseball. / remember
when he was the outstanding
strike-out artist in this part of
the state, and it looks to me like
he's still missing the fast ones.
Mr.. Heron: Yeah, that re-
minds me-what's going to be In
the new contract?
Mr.. Richards: Don't worry
about that. If there's anything
good in it we'll see to it that it's
taken out. Maybe we'll have to
make a couple of minor conces-
sions to give Koontz something
to talk about, but nothing to
write home about.
Mr.. Heron: Yes, but
Mr.. Richards (interrupting
Herron): We will probably have
to continue to make few con-
cessions here and there; but
from what | can see we'll be
able to keep these working guys
in harness for quite few years,
unless someone gets them all
worked up.
Mr.. Heron: Let's dump the
whole thing in the lap of the
Scale Workers. The officers like
their jobs and will do almost
anything to protect themselves
from a real union. This guy
Koontz would rather be presi-
dent of the Scale Workers than

Seeing Eye

Brothers and Sisters, have you
been reading the feelers that
those politicians you helped elect
or were appointed by those who
are on top of the heap? Number
one, the National Service Law
that would make free labor one
of the biggest farces this world
has ever seen. Why? Because
they would be able to transfer
workers any place they made a
labor shortage. Henry Simpson,
who is an advocate of this law,
comes from that clique who are
enemies of organized labor, bet
ter known as a union hater
along with the NAM, and then
came along Mr.. Knox, the would
be refinancing banker of Chi
cago and a two-bit Republican
who is Secretary of the Navy,
who advocates compulsory mill
tary training for your youngsters
when this war is over. 1t has
always been our belief this coun-
try was set up on the principle
that every one was free, but that
cannot be his belief. He wants to
build up an Army and Navy big
enough to collect all the credits
of money loaned by the big fl
nanciers, who will have over
flowing Golfers when this war is
over, to those countries ruined
by Hitler'S Hordes. Let's keep
the U.S.A. the land of the free,
and not allow a lot of political
jugglers' make a Fascist coun-
try out of it. The way to do this
is to be registered and able TO
vote when the time comes.
Where do you register? At 217
Superior street, the Board of
Elections, next to the Esquire
Theatre.
The officers and members of
the WHY'S Unit would like to
convey their sympathy to the
family of Brother John Hauser,

who passed away February 19,
1914. We all know we are going
to miss Brother John.
How do you like your income
forms? If the workers of this
grand country of ours would
only vote for the same people
who believe in their welfare, we
would not have been faced with
this headache. 1t looks as though
congress connived with the Ma
tional Bar Association and made
the income forms as complicated
as it was possible, so you would
have to hire a lawyer to make

meetings ever held by our Unit
took place Feb. 13. A o ! d
Murphy Shenofsky, director
of the Local II Camera Club,
entertained us with movies of
the Navy, for which the Unit
wishes to express its thanks.
Officers for the coming year
were nominated with the larg-

standing for election.
ELECTION RESULTS
Results of the election, which
was held at Local IL headquar-
ters. 425 Winthrop ST., Feb. 21,
were as follows: Pete Griffin,
chairman; Felix Sawicki, vice
chairman; Joe Fisher, secretary;
L. w. Teril, Barney Goloszew-
ski, Clarence May, Paul Britton
and Jim Hall reelected to the
committee. New members cleo
ted to the committee were Buck
Tucker, Jim Belding and Char
lie Prest.
TIED
Tied for committee with 81
votes each were Red Bryk and
Charlie Prest. The tie was bro
ken by Brother Bryk conceding
the election to Charlie Prest.
In answer to the query of
brother, l will quote one of Con-
fucius' wise sayings: Man who
rattle whiskey must keep bottle

George Smith recently broke
in a new helper in the shipping
room. George must have slipped
upon his teaching technique be-
cause it seems this fellow was
allergic to boxcars. Each time
there was one to load he decided
to go home. The other morning
when there was a car to unload
George relayed this fact to his
new helper, the helper didn t
even bother to take his coat off.
First he went to the window,
looked out and, seeing the load
ed boxcar, made a bee line for
home. The next day he was told
that the car was on the way out
and not in. I'll bet he felt foolish.

OPPORTUNITY

1t was my opportunity to hear
DIR. Allen Stockdale, former To-
ledo minister, when he spoke
before the employees of the To-
ledo Steel Products Co. last
week.
DIR. Stockdale is being spon-
sored by the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, which
Immediately makes him suspect
in the eyes of the workers, who
are we'll acquainted with the
attitude of this organization
toward labor.
The speaker was quite an or
ator, who had his listeners
amused and then interested
when he went from humor to
tragedy in a few short SEN
tenCes.
One thing DR.. Stockdale did
was give the workers of the
country a good pat on the back
when he said that the produc-
ton attained in this country
was miraculous.
1t was quite apparent that
even though the production of
the workers has been, as DR..
Stockdale said, miraculous. "
the manufacturers are still not
satisfied. They seem to want
uper-duper production, and
lure a minister away from his
pulpit to whip up the enthusi-
asm of the workers, as the
evangelist works up the emo
tions of the sinners to get them
to confess their wrongdoings
and sin no more.
Now that l have had plenty of
time to give thought to DR..
Stockdale's talk, it seems to me
that the workers could have
used the time taken up by the
speaker in producing tn o e
things which the employers say
they want more of. Not only
that, but rumors about DR..
Stockdale have come to me
which make me wonder if he is
the type of man the workers
want to listen to. / wonder what
foot he is hiding the nickel un-
der. I am not opposed to pro-
duction rallies as such, but if
the industries must bring in
speakers, why don't they give
labor a chance to talk to the
workers as well as the unbiased
CD stooges hired by the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers?

SURPRISE?
The meeting called by the
management at the Hillcrest
Hotel on, Feb. 7 turned out to be
something different than we
imagined it would be. Instead
of discussing the reasons for the
recent walkout, the manage
ment showed that its real in
tent was to penalize the work
ers with loss of seniority and
suspension of the committee for
one year in office.
A motion to recommend a
fine of S1.00 for those missing
monthly meetings will be voted
upon at the coming meeting.

The Waggin'
Tongue

This business of writing a col
umn has its drawbacks, but
those engaged in it meet lot of
interesting people 1--WE presume)
We met gentleman recently at
the Locals barroom, where To-
cal men of letters get together
for refreshment of body and
soul. So we commenced to inter
view this brother of the Acklin
Unit. Accepting our invitation
to kick the alphabet around, he
made the following statements:
"All those union members
with rosy cheeks and that all
out healthy look attribute same
to Stella Miller's supreme pick
up coffee" (No charge for the
plug, Stella.)
At the rate "Alaham" is pick
ing up the coin lately, it seems
that that sixth lot will be paid
for before long
Now that Louie Mattox is
safely installed as chairman and
editor for the coming year, it's
about time that the Acklinite
column should let it's hair down
now and then and go a la Win
chell. 1t has been rumored on
the quiet that a collection is in
progress to buy a pair of roller
skates for their chairman, so
that he can take care of all the
union business with the least eff
fort. (Ride 'em, coWboy.)
After a wait of three years the
single men have finally defeated
the married men in a bowling
match. Why pick on leap year,
singles? Casanova Losek led the
single men, in fact, the whole
gang, with a money taking 562
total. The chip is still on the sin
gle mems shoulders.
It's a we'll known fact that
some of the die makers at Ack-
lin can't do their best work late
ly. Perhaps because they just
can't get used to the new furni-
ture.
DON'T ASK US
How flaming red hair can be
