 Ed. Note-The above poem was written by Kay Baran, wife of Bill Baran, employee of the Main Yard pipe shop, and was published in last weeks Bridgeport Herald. It Is re- printed in the Sub at the request of MT. Baran.
 The following poem Is from World War I-author unknown. Here's to the blue of the wind
 swept North As they meet on the fields of
 France; May the spirit of Grant be over
 them all As the sons of the North advance. Here's to the Gray of the sun
 kissed South As they meet on the fields of
 France; May the spirit of Lee be over them
 all As the sons of the South advance. Here's to the Blue and Gray as one As they meet on the
 France; May the spirit of God be over them
 all As the sons of the Flag advance.

 letin boards. You all know other notice has about the same' amount of discipline for those who go to the hospital for the same accident too often. Do they think we like getting hurt because it's a chance for us to get out of work? There are easier ways to do 1t than that, but we believe most of the workers here are more interested in produc- tion than in non-production. So why get penalized for accidents that may be a part of the trade - welders flashes, for example? About the red cards we don't think they're much help. We can't suggest better cure for absen- teeism, but as the farmer said, "Although we can't lay an egg, we can tell good one from a bad one"
 One thing might be for man. agement to take look at itself instead of us to find the cause of absenteeism. If they would try to run the E. B. a little more hu- manly and show that they really mean what they say about coop eration for victory instead of try ing to blame us for the mishaps and slow-ups in production, they might get farther. They know that labor is pledged not to strike in wartime, and sometimes, be- cause of the way they give the Union the run-around on import ant issues, we get a feeling they might be taking advantage of that pledge, because if we did strike they could be pictured as the martyrs who were doing their all for the war and we were the big, bad strikers sabotaging the works. Of course, nothing would be said about who caused such a strike by refusal to grant some of our requests. To put 1t blunt lys that's profiteering on our pa- triotiSan, and the way things work out around here, 1t comes dangerously near to that.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES:
This story revolves round a re-
fined marned couple of st. Paul.
From outward appearances every
thing in their home life appeared
to be honky-dorey. An inward peep
into their home life shows that
hubby had been having a lot of
trouble with his wife, who suddenly
developed a gambling craze. The
hubby, who runs on the road, didn't
catch on to his wi;e's vice until a
month ago when he first noticed
that their beautiful set of silver
ware had disappeared. At first the
wife claimed she knew nothing of
the silver disappearance and called
it theft. The next time the hubby
came back into town he noticed that
the beautiful rug in his living room
had been removed" This was an
eye-opener that something was
really wrong. On questioning his
wife, she cody replied that she had
sent it to the cleaners and they had
lost it. The husband didn't press
the rug mystery but decided to wait
until his next return from his rail
road run. When he returned the
AACA6 S4ALCy OS4lGNS ~ VI uOls Inc
wife had sold their beautiful frigi-
daire. The husband upon seeing
that was gone, broke into a fit of
rage and practically choked the
truth out of his wife. 1t seems
she had been selling all these house
hold articles to get sizeable
amounts of money with which to
gamble and play the numbers"
The last word heard was that the
hubby, so disillusioned and dis
gusted, had broken up with his wife
for good and was planning to make
his home out West. (Golly, what
chumps some women play men for.
That wife didn't know when she
was really we'll off, did she?)

my way. Be seem you.

The Railroad Seizure

THE seizure Of the railroads by the fed

ton Of transportation by strikes is a
desperate action taken in final effort to
retrieve desperate situation.
For that desperate situation the PresI-
dent rrTTH7s0tt r Responsible
mess of the labor situation, as Senator
Reed Of Kansas comments,

tional railroad mediation act, passed by
Congress many years ago TO administer
railroad labor affairs and under which
many controversies have been adjudCatcd
and NO STRIKES HAVE EVER OC-
CURED.
He has Inundated and stultfed HIS
OWN WAR LABOR BOARD.
AS Senator Reed says. the President
started out letting labor groups have
everything they wanted
NTHEN the coal miners dehed the War
w Labor Board and quit mining coal al
though our continuance in the war depended
on coal he repudiated the board and took
the mines away from the owners and gave
the miners what they wanted.
When any government agency having the
responsibility and authority for adjusting re-
latlons fairly between industry and labor hnds
itself al odds with labor, the President has
consistently renowned the agency.
He has authorized the seizure Of Industries
for government operation. often when they
were fully complying with the requirements
Of government agencies and often when the
grievances OF labor were not against the in
dustres themselves but against agencies oft
the federal government and IN fact against
the government itself
