On The
Surface
BY Ralph Thompson

The hottest one off the fibbers'
griddle is the little tale Carl
Pawlik let go with the other
day. Last fall during hunting
season Carl saw rabbit at quite
some distance, and fired his gun.
Carl says the distance was so
great that the shot fired strained
his gun barrel and the gun
hasn't been any good since.
We hope that this Interna-
tional conference, in session this
week, has brought about some
specific changes in the methods
of collective bargaining. God
only knows we need the
changes. Eighteen months with
out our first contract being
signed hasn't developed any
grey hair, but the monotony has
been nothing shy of limit of pa
tience. Each one of us can be
answered that by registering to
vote in the coming election is a
step farther in shortening up
the process by which our con-
tracts can be drawn up to sat-
isfactory conclusion.
From the latest reports we
have regarding the AFL's petit
tion for an election is that the
regional board has refused to
grant an election. There could
be an appeal made to the Ma
tional Board if ooh, well, what's
the use). The goose has been
cooked.
Your writer has received very
little criticism from the mem
bers in the shop but that's not
saying he doesn't need it. Per-
haps the Writers and Speakers
Club will polish off the rough
edges. My only hope is that /
never become a PegIer.
Don't forget, when you buy, |
buy the union labeled goods and |
patronize the JOURNALS ad-
vertisers.

Did you show your loyalty to
your union and fellow workers
by parading on Labor Day? If
not, you missed a fine parade.
Also it dampened the spirits of
the Chamber of Commerce and
the members of the National
Association of Manufacturers
1t surely was grand parade
and the many thousands who
viewed it showed their pleasure
by their spontaneous applause.
We are happy because after try
ing for a number of years we
won first prize with our float.
The many brothers and sisters
who donated their services to
this grand cause are to be con-
graduated for a fine job we'll
done. 1t also made our hearts
swell with pride to see how
many of the newer sisters and
brothers who turned out and
showed the world at large they
believe in the CIO principles of
one large Union for all trades.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9-Stealing
the thunder of the CIO Pol
itical Action Committee, the Du
Page County Republican Cen
tral Committee is asking voters
to contribute 81 to elect the
COP national, state and county
tickets.
According to the Chicago Sun,
the Republican appeal is ac-
companied by a pledge card and
self-addressed envelope with
postage prepared and has been
mailed to $4,000 voters in Du
Page County. The opening para
graph in the letter reads:
This is no ordinary appeal
for money. 1t is a sincere urge
for support of the Republican
ticket this fall. We, your fellow
neighbors, are asking for ST
from each voter in your house
hold"
Democratic leaders in Du
Page County are pointing out
that the Republicans are adopt
ing the same methods in raising
funds for which they have so
condemned the CIO
Political Action Committee
which has asked a voluntary
contribution of 81 from all CIO
members.

When honesty pays

When honesty pays
Several nights ago, young
red-headed boy approached an
open window at the rear of our
shop and asked Gerry Dumond
if that was her car parked in
the alley. Gerry told the boy 1t
was and Little Red" said he
had just broken her windshield,
then turned and ran away. A
few hours later Little Red re-
turned and dropped a small
package of money thru the
window, stating that he had
been downtown and priced a
new windshield. Little Red"
then fled for home. News got
around the next day that Little
Reds" father died a year ago
and his mother was forced to
quit her job because of a heart
ailment. It was also learned
that the money Little Red
had dropped thru the window
was accumulated thru his paper
route and was being saved for
school clothes. That was the last
straw. Gerry Dumond and Edna
Thompson got their heads to-
gether made arrangements to
take Little Red" downtown.
Their first stop was at a Chi
nese restaurant where Little
Red" was permitted to order
anything he wanted to eat. Upon
finishing their dinner, this trio
proceeded on shopping tour.
When it was time to head for
home, Little Red" was the
proud owner of a pair of wooden
trousers, wooden sweater,
leather jacket, shirts, socks,
ties, suspenders and other ar
ticles that help make up a COM
plete school outfit. Gerry and
Edna spent about thirty dollars
on the boy and Little Red"
