A Good Campaign

Dear Sir:
/ don't know how the cleo
ton is going to turn out next
week, but l do know that the
JOURNAL has carried on a
good campaign for the PAC
endorsed candidates.
News times, pictures, edi-
torials and column by Duck,
GoSser, Schultz, Pecord and
Fountain have been uniform
ly good.
Best of all are the pictures
which have been printed on
the front page for the past
few weeks. The one l have in
mind is one taken from P.
M. showing Mr.. Dewey as
prosecuting attorney of New
York crashing a picket line.
Dewey might be able to crash
a picket line, but l don't think
he will crash our ballot line.
Here's hoping he doesn't any
how.

Servicemen's Gifts

Ever since the beginning of the war,
il has been the practice of Local IL shops
to take up collections throughout the
various plants for the purpose of sending
gifts to former fellow workers now serv-
ing in the armed forces.
Even in shops where differences of
opinion have existed between the union
and management over clauses i'm con-
tracts, the union has been extended the
privilege of making serviCemens collec-
tions.
But the PlaskOn management, whose
employees recently became members of
Local IL as the result of n NLRB cleo
tion, has taken the arbitrary position that
such collections will not be allowed.
Claiming that its objections to the
servicemen's collection is because there
IS no signed contract with Local IL due
TO the fact that the case is before the
WLB, the company management has
grasped upon this expedient as a means
of provoking the union.
As a matter of fact the company for
merly coOperated with its employees in
sending gifts TO PlaSkon servicemen; but
since the employees have affiliated with
Local IL, they decided to handle their own
collection and send their own gifts to their
fellow workers.
in acting on a technicality in opposing
she shop collection, the company's action
IS distinctly opposed to the welfare of the
scrvicemen who appreciate the gifts which
they receive, no matter what their source
may be. Moreover, the company has made
II very obvious that it is less concerned
with the collection, than it is by the fact
that the union is handling its own money
and taking care of its own people.

Your Vote

Your vote is just as important as the
vote of the most important man in Ameri-
ca. On election day, every voter has one
vote regardless what his social or economic
position may be-
When people say their vote isn't i'm
portant. they are not thinking correctly.
Their vote is important. Every vote is inn
portant. No mans vote is more important
than anOthers.
The only unimportant people in this
country on election day, or, for that mat
ter, any other day, are the people who do
not vote. If they believe their vote is un-
important and fail to vote they are in
effect saying that they don't amount to
very much and are Indifferent to their
state in life.
People who fail to vote on the ground
that their vote is not important are think
ing wrong. Try to find big stakeholder
in large corporation, an industrialist, a
financier, banker, a stock broker, the
president of business or corporation who
doesn't vote. Despite the fact that these
people constitute minority group you
never hear them say that their vote isn't
important
Those who manage and own the re-
sources of this nation think their vote
amounts to something. Moreover, they
vote. There is no defeatism or feeling of
inferiority in their makeup.
But the workers, the people who are
in the majority, sometimes feel that vOt-
ing is just a gesture, democratic toy
that the powers that be permit the multi
tude to play with to delude themselves
that they have a voice and vote in naming
public officials.
Those who harbor such sentiments
should cast them aside. They should not
become anti-political minded, for in that
state of mind nothing can be accomplished.
AS long as we have the democratic
right to vote, as long as our constitutional
form of government continues to exist, it
is our duty to carry out our part in max
ing our constitution a living document.
Our experiment in government continues
year after year, and will continue as long
as the majority of the people of this cOun
try believe we can solve our political and
economic problems through the peaceful
medium of the ballot, rather than the
horror of bullets.
Let labor vote. Let il vote right and
see our experiment in popular govern
ment through. BY all means vote, and
when you vote, remember your vote
counts just as much as that of the Presi-
dent of the United States himself. Your
vote really is important. Cast it next
Tuesday.

From The Desk
Of
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW>CIO

Confidence is a good feeling to have It
can sometimes give us the necessary
couragement we need to complete our tasks
There are times when we must guard against
overconfidence however
The workers of America who have so much
at stake in this coming election must not re-
lax in their effort to turn out the votes.
The election of Roosevelt and progressive
Congress is certainly not lin the bag and
this is no time to relax our efforts.
There are too many people inclined to
feel that President Roosevelt and a progressive
Congress are sure to be elected this year. 1t
has only been two years since they who were
sure of victory at the polls on election day
woke up the next day to find the forces of
reaction had made many gains
THE ISSUES
The issues in this election are not difficult
to understand. There is only choice between
the conservatives on one hand who believe
it is in the best interests of our country to
allow free hand for big business to do as
it pleased with no governmental regulation
and most of the taxes borne by the workers)
and the progressive people, on the other hand,
who believe that Big Business, should be reg
.ulated and controlled in the interests of the
people and there should be full employment
program, stabilized by basng taxation on the
ability to pay.
Administering the affairs of Union like
ours is year round job Servicing our shops
is year round job. Yet there is only one day
in the year when we have opportunity to
make the task of building anG preserving our
Union more difficult or much easier.
That day is election day That is the day I
when either people who are friendly to labor
get elected to public office or labor faces
another series of attacks. y't.+
Lets all participate in the torch-lite
Lets all vote for candidates endors

Hello, Folks!
Almost missed writing this

P, table-waiting, drilling, lee
lures, and training films. But
here it is.
I'll have to retract at least
part of the statement l wrote
last week concerning the G.. I.
vote. You see, last Saturday
our Sergeant passed out post
cards to everyone in our Com
pany who wished to vote in
the coming presidential cleo
ton, and last night the Cap
tain again reminded all of us
that we could obtain regis
tration" postcards. SO Camp

Yesterday we had a two

We were given our helmets,

exactly BIB guns, either.
Most of the infantrymen
here are pretty fond of their
COMMANDMENT Chief. We real
ize that soldiers do what
they're told to do, and speak
ing for just one of them, l
think it would be just too bad
if anyone were ever in charge
of so many people, who de-
cided that the Army should be
used for purposes other than
for the protection of the COM
mon good.
1t goes without saying that
each and every one Of us, at

few days, Please don't fail
your sons, brothers. relatives

Scouts Collect
Is Tons of Paper

Falling a little short of their usual
monthly collection, the Boy Scouts
of Hagerstown and the County, with
their leaders, gathered in 16 tons of
paper on Saturday. Local Troops
accounted for II tons, with 5 tons
being collected by County Troops.
The boys, however, expect to
make up for the rather poor show
ing this month, with a record col
lection on the first Saturday in jan
uary. They know that every home
will have lots of paper and boxes
after all the Christmas presents
have been unpacked and they are
asking you not to burn single
piece of it, but to store it in the
basement or the attic until Saturday
January 6, when they will be round
your way to collect it.
You know how acute the paper
shortage is-many stores right here
in Washington County haven't got q
single paper bag in the place-so
please cooperate by saving your pa
per until the next drive.
If anyone has too much paper te
hold till January 6, just call the
Scout office-the number is 1928 W
and they will arrange to pick il
up at once.
