War On Labor

Petersburg, Va.-(FP). - "a very
radical change in labor relations dur
ing the coming year" was predicted
by Pres. Remmie L. Arnold of South
ern States Industrial Council in let
tier addressed to the industrialists of
the south.
Arnold left no doubts about in which
direction he thought the change was
heading. Labor bosses, mad for pow
er and aided directly by federal bu-
reaucracy, have too long imposed their
will upon the American people," he
said in the letter, which went to 10000
industrial organizations in 16 south
ern states. The council, he said, would
continue "the courageous fight it has
always waged in behalf of southern
industry"
Action of the councils board of di-
rectors in taking a positive position
in behalf of the Individual worker
and the preservation of his constitu-
tional right to be free of the domina-
tion of labor racketeers and from en-
forced servitude imposed by the clos
ed shop will be pressed during the
year with the same will to win as
has marked our fight against a per-
manent FEPC.r

Washington, d. C.-QLNS).-Dis-
elimination against women workers
as to jobs and wages during reconver-
sion reacts definitely against the in

be a dispute about the representation
of the employees, the bill permits the
secretary to ask the NLRB to certify

lied labor here is snickering at the
chamber of commerce, which is en-
gagged in a "jurisdictional" dispute
more bitter than anything ever seen
in union ranks.
Only two weeks after unanimously
reappointing Col. T. C. Macaulay as
secretary-manager in bland show of
unity, the chambers board of direc-
tors could no longer contain itself. By
a vote of 25 to 9 the board decided
to fire Macaulay, thus bringing into
the open a behind-the-scenes fight
over postwar planning policy that has
ragged ever since the secretary-man
ager, a pioneer aviator, returned to
his job after three years duty in the
army air forces.
But the custer didn't set well with
the minority group of directors. In
stead of behaving in the dignified
manner of chamber of commerce di-
rectors, they loudly demanded that
the entire membership be polled in
referendum election.
At first an open membership meet

Officers To Be
Elected BY 195
At Next Meefinu

Judging from the poor attendance
at the meeting of Local Union 1875
Wednesday evening, nomination of Of
ficers for the coming term is just an
other formality and in no way calls
for active participation by the men,
bership. Perhaps the weather may
have kept some of our members in
the outlying district from attending,
but the same excuse is poor substi-
tute for absenteeism among those who
live in the city.
Election of officers will be held at
our meeting on December 19 and we
hope to have the hall packed for this
important duty. Make it point to
be present on this date and. see that
your benchmate is also on hand.
Several members of the various shop
committees were assessed the usual
fine for non-attendance in November.
We do not feel we are asking too
much of any member to give a little
time each month to promoting the
interests of their trade. In fact, some
expressed the opinion that beginning
the first of the year, the fine should
be doubled.
Discussions in the shop seem to
center on one thing-when do we get
our back pay? Be patient girls, just
that everything comes to
those who wait.-O. c. 1875.

The letter asked the Machinists'
officials and Representatives to do
everything possible to create better
and more cooperative understanding
with our friends in the AFL."
1t said that the notification letter
to the lam from William Green, AFL
president, did not state that the AFL
executive council had suspended the

a portion of the AFL constitution and
interprets the Machinists' deferment
of per capita tax as voluntary dis
affiliation."

Brother Hanson was held in the

Although he had been in poor health

on numerous occasions when diff

OF LocuI No. 86

Those who failed to make an ap-

dtnt Duffy who dropped in on the
meeting. Touching upon conditions in
the trade today and the manner in
which we are to meet any new devel-
opments which may occur from time
to time, he cited the past procedure of
the Brotherhood in meeting these
changes and urged the membership
to follow the same policy as in form
er years.
We heartily agree with the presi-
dents advice and feel only by such u
method can fair and just settlement
be reached in any dispute. We thank
President Duffy for his visit and hope
he can find time to visit US again in
the near future.
The members expressed themselves
as well pleased with the outcome OF
the meeting between the Executive
Board members and the manufactur-

Credit is due the officials of the or

dance has not been so good during the
past year, why not improve on same
by being present on this date. Remem-
Der too, election of officers for the

and this in itself, should warrant the
presence of every member.
Production at the plant is at a
high level although many of the en-
ployees have been away from their
benches from time to time, due to
illness.
The Victory Loan Drive is officially
ended and Ohio county exceeded its
quota by large margin. The citizens
of Wheeling can be very proud of
their response in this great drive.
Always in the past, the people of
this locality loaned generously to

Many people who received tubercu-
