DECEMBER l GIFT
MAIL DEADLINE

December l is the deadline re-
quested by the Post Office Depart
ment for mailing Christmas gifts in
side the United States. Every citi-
zen who is playing Santa Claus for
loved ones and friends in other
towns is urged to get that present
IN the mails by that date to assure
proper delivery. The reason, say
postal officials, is that Americans
are expected to mail domestica1ly
70 per cent more gifts than a year
ago-and at time when the Post
Office has fewer employees and less.
wel-trained holiday help than ever
before. In addition, the fact that
more people have moved to differ
ent addresses to do war work Is ex
pected to mean that the average dis
tance travelled by each gift viii be
greater than before the war.

Are You Ready For
Scout Paper Drive?

Continuing their job of getting
every available pound of paper on
its way to the pulp mills where it is
SO urgently needed, the Boy Scouts
will be round your way again on
Saturday morning. Are you ready
for them?
This month, in order to make it
easier for you to bundle up all your
papers, cardboard and magazines,
the Scouts have, during the week
been leaving on your door knobs a
tag reminding you that they will be
around on Saturday and, more inn
portant still, six feet of Irvine is at
tached to each tag, with which to
tie up your bundle.
You know by this time that one
of the most urgent needs in the war
effort today is paper of all kinds.
Paper is needed for packaging thou
sands of items that are shipped to
our fighting forces on all fronts and
some badly needed supplies are ac-
tually being held up because of the
shortage of cartons in which to
pack them.
Let's make this the biggest col
lection since the Scouts took over
this important job last March. They
have adopted motto for this drive
- MOT A HOUSE WITHOUT a
BUNDLE" Be sure that YOUR
bundle is out in front on Saturday
morning.

munities with their relation to the
functions of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
Mrs. Beck Named Sec'y-Treas.
In this latter meeting the Aux
iliary of Local SIC was honored by
the National Auxiliary in placing
Mrs. Naomi Beck of st. Paul,
Minnesota, who was the delegate
from our Auxiliary, in the position
of National Secretary-Tr Treasurer.
Three Inspectors on n. P.
The program of the Joint Council
was very broad and comprehensive,
and amongst more important prob
lens considered were the matters
of Post War planning dealing prin-
cipally with up-grading Negro en-
ployees in dining car service to
positions of inspectors, personnel
officers, supervisors, and dining car
stewards in line with the requests
of the various Local Unions and the
policy of the Presidents Fair En-
ployment Practices Committee.
In line with the program of up
grading employees by carriers, Lo-
cal 516 recently secured the ap-
pointment as service inspectors by
the Northern Pacific Railway Co.
of Maceo A. Finney of St. Paul, for
mer President, E. NJ. Shepherd of
Minneapolis, and Roy Davis, St.
Paul, with the assurance by the
management that an additional
Supervisor will be appointed in the
near future. A similar suggestion
has also been submitted to the
Great Northern Railway Company,
and it has been minated that such
an appointment will be given IA
vorable consideration by the car
rier.
1t is assumed that when the war
is ended and peace established, the
Railroads will again attempt to
bring dining car employees es-
pecially, down to the pre-war level,
not only of employment but of
wages then existing.
The meeting disclosed that there
are organized in the Dining Car In
dustry, and under the direction of
the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
plOyees' international Alliance and
Bartenders' International League of
America more than $1,000 dining
car employees representing fifty
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-03-24

two (52) major railroads Of Ameri-
ca and their subsidiaries. 1t further
disclosed that the recent wage
agreement signed by the Is Coop
Grating Railroad Labor Organiza-
tions and railroads resulted in
placing in the pockets of dining
car employees approximately ST.
600, 100000 at a cost to our Inter
national Union of approximately
$lOS,000, which includes our affiha-
ton with all Standard Labor and
Government Agencies.
The Council also devised plans
for political action in view of the
many adverse laws enacted by the
various State Legislators and Con-
greSsmen of the United States of
America inimical to the interest
of Labor in general especially the
Smith-Connally Act and the South
ern Democrats attack upon the
Presidents Committee on Fair EN-
ployment Practice.
Another matter was taken up to
devise ways and means for provid-
ing a death benefit for dining car
employees by the Local Unions
through the Joint Council in addi-
ton to the benefits now being paid
by our International Union. Dele
gate Hector P. Vassar was placed
on this committee which is expected
to be called to Chicago very shortly
to make its recommendations.
A matter of national Importance
affecting dining car employees is
attested by the fact that through
the effort of the Joint Council and
its affiliated Local Unions, Scion C.
Bell, Chairman of the Joint Council,
has been placed upon the Labor Ad-
visory Committee of the Office of
Price Administration. These latter
selectees are paid employees.
In line with the program Chair
man Bell has selected John E. Har-
groves, a former dining car en-
ployee of Los Angeles, California,
as member of the Planning Board,
O.P.A., with a salary of $500 per
year, who will assume his duties on
March 9th, 1914, and will be sta
toned at the Nations Capitol.
At the close of the convention a
large mass meeting was held at Me-
mortal Baptist Church where the
principal speakers were Edward
Flore, General President, HIRE
Ia. and Bill. of A, Hugo Ernst,
G eneral Secretary Treasurer,
Francis Williams, Office of Price
Administration, Mrs. Lockhart,
General President, Dining Car EN-
plOyees Ladies' Auxiliary, Con-
gresham William L. Dawson of
the First Congressional District,
Illinois. Their expressions were not
only constructive but timely.
The program of Local SIC is de-
signed to fit in with the program
outlined by our International
Union, and all progressive, con-
structive civic organizations. The
membership of Local SIG is at an
all time high, now $50 out of a po-
tential membership of 600 with dis
tricts in Great Falls, Mont, and
Seattle, Wash.
Local SIC will participate in the
Annual Spring Membership Drive
held by our International Union.
And at which time we expect to or
ganize dining car workers through
out the Northwest at least 979o.
Other proposals to be carried out
by the Local Union in the near fu-
ture in connection with their con-
tracts are time and one-half for
overtime after 24O hours, and bet
ter sanitary facilities on the cars
for sleeping and bathing.
