Champion Unit
Sparklets

The new contract is expected
to arrive shortly from the hands
of the printers and will soon be
distributed to every employee.
There are several changes in the
new contract, therefore we are
asking that each member read
and digest the changes so that
they will know for themselves
the actual facts, and not merely
what they hear from someone
else.
In the past you were also
provided with copy of the By
Laws, which clearly explains
how the Champion Unit is to
function, There is one section
that we feel should be brought
to the members attention, and
that is the procedure set out to
handle grievances. 1t is listed as
Article No. 6 and reads as fol-
lows:
/. If dissatisfied with execu-
tive committeeman's answer, ap-
pear before the committee as a
whole. (They meet every Tues
day EVENING".
2. If still dissatisfied appeal to
your Unit body. (They meet the
first Thursday of each month";.
3. If still dissatisfied appeal to
the Executive Board of Local No.
IL.
4. If still dissatisfied appeal to
the meeting of Local No. IL,
1t seems that several employees
either don't understand the set
up or they believe an exception
should be made in their particu-
lar case by going to Local No. IL
as the first step and eventually
ending up as last resource by
contracting their committeeman.
BY following the procedure as
outlined, grievances can be
handled much qui C ke and
settled to the satisfaction of all.
Our friend and former COM
mitteemen Joseph Tomaszewski
was recently home on leave and
looking the best of health. He
said one reason was the fact he
gave up smoking cigarettes. An
other act of a service man max
ing a sacrifice so that the civil
ians can enjoy more smokes.
Just in case any one was
wondering where Harold Sullier
was when he was absent from
work recently, it can easily be
explained. He was home sick
with the MUMPS, and at his age.
Eta May Stacey received one
grand shock the other night, a
phone call from her husband
who is back in the States after
4 years in the South Pacific. He
was discharged under the point
system and is due home soon.
Gertrude Thompson who has
been on the sick list for some
time, has been greatly missed by
her fellow workers. Here's hop
ing for a speedy recovery and
that you will be back soon.

Auto>Lite Unit
News

Some of the guys are wonder
ing why the Auto-Lite shop
paper, Labor News" doesn't
carry Local II, on its mast head.
Just an oversight, no doubt.
And n o t h er thing, why
doesn't the Auto-Lite shop paper
carry more shop news and less
Federated Press.
We understand that the guys
in charge of the Political Action
Committee are about on the
verge of paying their buck and
becoming members themselves.
It's a good idea to belong to the
thing you try to sell. Whoever
heard of an automobile salesman
riding bicycle? Nowadays
maybe, but not ordinarily.
The CIO, including the Auto
Lite Unit is giving its dimes,
quarters, and higher denomina-
ton dought to erect wading
pool in h honor of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt at the
home of the Toledo Society For
Crippled Children. That is a
fine thing for our shop paper to
back and we fully expect that
our editor will give Roosevelt's
memorial the same fine backing
he gave the President last fall
when Mr.. Roosevelt was re-
elected.
Did you know that Local IL
is putting on recreational activi-
ties such as archery, casting,
golf, chess and providing other
recreational hobbies for its mem
bers.. Those who are interested
in becoming active in these ac-
tivities are urged to give their
names to Birdie Rule, Local -
recreational director.
That's all.

AL Lohbauer, Dept. Al, en-
tered the Hall of Fame last week
when he pitched a no hit, no
run nine inning game in the
softball league. We won with
three runs. Incidentally, the
new uniforms for the team

To top management: There is
a better way to maintain or
even increase production in some
departments than the way now
in vogue. It's not always in
creases either.
We extend our sincere SYM
pathy to Pat Ranmsdell on the
loss of his infant son and hope
that his wife will soon be better.

to be outdone by j. Pluvius, he
exchanged the suit and got a
raincoat.

Eagles Back
Annual WAGES

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
Fraternal Order of Eagles, with
a national membership of more
than $4,000, is solidly behind
organized labor's drive for a
guaranteed annual wage, John
w. Young, president of the or
ganization, announced last week.
THE guaranteed annual wage, y
he declared, will encourage en-
ployment and remove from
the American worker the daily
irritation of not knowing what
his income will be next week or

Brother Schaefer is contem-

The
Acklinite
By Chet Krzeminski

Things have been looking sort
of sick around Acklin's this
week, but the people seem to
realize that it is all for the best.
All this malarkey about the
foreman is going to be thrashed
out in the future with some un-
derstanding of benefit to the
workers at Acklin. So, when
anything is wrong, the commit
teeman of the department in
which the grievance occurs
should be brought in to see that
things are done the right way
and not the other way. Perhaps
we will then be able to see how
many "red apple" club members
there are at Acklin. When we
find them, they will get the
pitch-and as one of the Local
IL guys says, that's for sure"
All members of Acklin Unit
are urged to attend the next
meeting at Local IL headquar-
ters, Sunday, June "a, at 200
p. m. This is an important meet
ing so please make every effort
to be there.

Plaskon
Powder Founders
N. L. Bartlett
BY N. l.. Bartlett


The old B. S. Policy at Plas-
kon is out in the open. (B. S.
means Benny Slater.
According to Plaskons B. S.
We workers are too dumb to
know what is suitable for our
selves yet they had to prepare
their brief to W.L.B. after one
of our lowly workers prepared
ours, thus showing a lack of
knowledge. Our committee re-
alizing this used the company's S
brief as a squib on our bulletin
board. Regardless of the rather
insulting contents the company
admits that Local IL is doing
what they were told to do any.
way. Lets put the shoe on the
other foot. Now we find L.O.F.
in a mess that will take some
time to clear up all because
they are trying to get around a
law that has been in effect since
1890, then they appeal to the
dumb workers for support, and
tell us somebody is nuts and
that the Government is hayWire
and is misleading the public.
Amongst all the flag waving
about winning the war and
planning new plants for beauti-
full new America. Plaskon's B. S.
is trying to fleece an exservice
man out of his vacation pay.
Excluding Plaskon, the nigh
ty L.O.F. empire is threatened
with strike so we can all look
forward to receiving some more
mail asking for our sympathy
and telling US the world in gen
eral has gone berseik and we've
got IL monkies in the plant that
will go for 1t.
