Bouquets
 and BriCkbuts

BOUQUETS of the flowers they like best to the AZ of STEWARDS who refuse to accept CO bribes These MEN and MEN, UNIONISTS of the first water They KNOW UNIONISM and would rather QUIT THEIR JOBS is necessary than to SELL THEIR FELLOW WORK FRS OUT to an organization like the cio.
 BRICKBATS straight from the shoulder to those FENCE SITTERS wearing both ciO and AZ of buttons. These people apparently do not have the courage of THEIR OWN CONVICTIONS. We would like to take this oppor- tuny tell them that they have NO RIGHT to disgrace REAL AZ of L UNION BUTTON by wearing cio button beside it. GOOD UNION MEN PROUD of their UNION and PROUD TO WEAR THEIR AF of L BUTTON Re- member DON'T JUST WEAR YOUR AF of BUTTON FIGHT FOR IT. CThanks Clyde)
 BOUQUETS of the seasons sweetest flowers to the AZ of COMMITTEE who NEGOTIATED SENIORITY FAC TOR for the employees of EBCO. These after long hours of pro and arguments finally convinced ment that the OLD TIMERS IN THE YARD deserved con- sderation and gained an additional onehaf M point per year to the grading of all employees This is all the more remarkable in that the present contract DOES NOT provide for seniority leaving with long of service con- peey the of management This committee should be all the more respected in that NOT ONE MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE had than four of seniority That in our humble opinion is REAL UNSELFISH BAR GAINING.
 BRICKBATS and we mean the kind that hurts most on the CARL ANDERSON General Foreman of the Plate Shop First Shift Main Yard for his hatred of the Union and his IGNORANCE of good labor relations This alleged supervisor be good mechanic (and doubt tha) but we are certain that KNOWS NOTHING about handling He has broken his word several occasions that have been brought to aention and his SNOTTY
  trouble. Oh well, Election Day draws
 BOUQUETS by the armful to TED LAMBERT, GUS KRUCK SCOTCH THOMAS and BEN MCLAUGHLIN of the Pipe Shop for setting typical example of GOOD UN- IONISM. These formerly leading men, and when the cubaks came they went back to work with the tools first class Coppersmhs at $12 per hour Recently they called into the office and told that there going to be further cubacks in their department and their chances of being terminated would be much Jeff they would allow their cassfcaons to be changed from $132 hour to first class Ppetter at $20 per hour Good mechanics and good Union that they are, they UNANIMOUSLY RE- FUSED and aid Well take chances with the rest of the guys"
 BRICKBATS hurled hard and heavy and right at the place where it will WAKE THEM UP to those who are fall for the co and ebco brotherhood gag that being used in the yard urging the A. F. of L. Unoniss NOT TO PAY their dues until they who wins the election. This is those Organizations secret weapon with which they hope to win the election. The theory is if they get enough of to FALL BEHIND in Union dues, will against the A. F. of L rather than back dues This is another of the DIRTY METHODS used by those Cor ganizaons whO because they have nothing to offer Elec ric Boat employees WILL STOOP TO ANYTHING to gain votes Every sensible employee in the yard KNOWS WHO
