WASHINGTON (LPA)-Four
thousand soldiers, most of them
members of the Railroad Broth
erhoods, have been furloughed
to keep our railway system from
breaking down under the huge
job of redeploying troops. LPA
predicted the action several
weeks ago. In announcing the
action last week, Under Secre-
tary of War Patterson urged that
as many civilians as can do so
take railroad jobs, because "the
furloughing of troops to fill ci-
william jobs is not an efficient
way to fight war"

ABOUT PR

1t seems strange that every
time the citizens of Toledo want.
law or rule changed that has
been imposed on the people, 1T
calls on the CIO. We refer to the
PR which elects councilmen by
numbers.
From the amount of sigma
lures on the PR repeal petitions
each day, it seem that the voters
want to elect by plurality. If
, the people who sign the petit
tions are sincere, and we believe
they are, some of the petty poll
ticians are going to be looking
for other jobs. We believe we
are going to elect candidates to
this job who are better fitted
than some of the present in
cumbents.
What is the M. E. S. A. doing
on this big job? Practically
nothing, outside of those who
believe PR has been a blight on
our city and has created politi-
cal cesspool by electing useless
politicians who represent small
minority each year. All we are
asking is that registered voters
sign the petition so as to enable
the PAC to place the issue on
the November ballot. We also
think that every person should
join the Political Action Com
mittee. 1t only costs one dollar
a year and it will do more good
than any dollar you ever spent.
1t is also our belief that to be
good citizen, you should be
registered and able to vote.

ABOUT BOSSES
1t seems strange to the many
members who work in COL
Shell Forge Piercing, not to see
our old friend, Pete, who used
to be a boss on the 1st shift and
who originlly came from 261,
seniority dating back to 1918.
We have a hunch that Mr.. Rey-
nolds likes people who are nom
members, such as Herb Ham
!, mond and Joe Pargeter. Joe
isn't bad boy, only he is in the
wrong atmosphere, he should be
out on the road selling forgings,
as he was at one time one of
our star statesmen. Hammond
was hired as a boss and does
not hold any seniority, not that
we hold anything against Herb
as he always played ball with
the members.

Saw "We"!
By
Ruth Taylor
Ruth Taylor

Unity-unity-unity. United
Nations. United States. United
people. Tn eword Is like drum
beat through our minds wher-
ever we turn. But-how can we
achieve this much to be desired
end - this cohesiveness, this
unity?
Kipling once pointed out
simple, yet truly practical way.
1t was in his verse story of the
Norman Baron advising his son:
Say we, us, and ours when
you're talking, insted of '.you
fellows and f."
Nothing but good, sound, prac-
tical common sense when you
stop to think it over. If we who
pride ourselves on being Amer
leans, would think in terms of
we "us" and "ours" instead
of you fellows" and "T'', if we
would temper our personal am
bitions in the pool of our COM
mon interests, we could by our
combined abilities solve our mu.
tual problems.
After all, why do we want
unity Because we have learned
by that hard way of war. the
lesson that no man liveth unto
himself, alone, that there is
nothing, even in our every day
lives, in which we are not de-
pendent upon others and where
they do not depend on us.
ONE AND ALL
We cannot achieve prosperity,
we cannot reach the pinnacles of
any success, we cannot even
have peace, by. ourselves. What
concerns one, concerns all.
There is no phase of life to
which this does not apply. Lis
ten ta the speeches from the
State Department and heed the
warning that there will be no
peace for men and women any
where until the world is at
peace. Father Friedl, beloved of
all workers, says: 1T is better to
get management and labor
around a table and talk it out,
than slug it out" We cannot
separate citizens into groups of
class, creed or color-we have
seen what second class citizen
ship has done to countries over
seas.
Unity is working as 1--WE" not
as you and T.. Unity is not
standing on opposite sides of the
wall of our differences. 1t is
Joining forces on common
ground of mutual desires, aims,
hopes, and-most of
In our own communities dur
ing the past years, we have met
many of the problems which ap-
pear in the larger scene. We
nave witnessed the getting to-
gether of people from different
backgrounds or with different
social concepts. We work to-
gether as neighbors. We not only
tolerate each others opinion, we
our own viewpoints.
This is working together.
Every trade unionist knows it
and knows as well what he must
do. 1t is as we use the 1--WE"
concept rather than the II" that
will win out. This is the ideal of
unioniSm. This is the ideal of
democracy.

Philadelphia CUP) If you put together all the freight cars used to bring Army cargoes to the Philadelphia Cargo Port of Embark ation from its opening to the end of the war in Europe, you would have train reaching from Phila- delphia to Toledo, O, and then some.
 The Army reveals that it took 65,562 freight cars-91 per day--to deliver 4,789,016 tons of supplies to this port city from May, l94S, to the end of April, 1945. The balance of the 4,885 ,457 tons that were shipped from Hog Island and South Philadelphia by the Army Trans portation Corps arrived by motor freight and express.

dephia Cargo Port is col. Alex B. MacNabb. It was under his dlrec- ton that the millions or tons Of general cargo, trucks, guns, tanks, food, locomotives and medical sup plies were speeded across the At lantic.
 Peak month for the installation, which operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week, was March, 1045, when Army rail traffic into Phila- delphia totaled 6,o6l freight cars. And the job isn't over, Col. Mac Nabb says. Thousands of tons of food, clothing and subsistence items are still being shipped from here to our troops in EslrofA.
 "The European fighting may be over. but millions of our soldiers are still there," he said. They must be fed and clothed. They need medical supplies and recreation equipment. The Philadelphia Cargo Port of Authorization is dispatching these occupation cargoes now, and we'll be doing it for a long time to come"

Miraculous Escapes Told
By D. T.. Man al Two lima

BY Marine Corps Combat Correspondent
TWO JIMA Delayed Three di.
rect hits on the landing boat or
which he was going shorewarc
quickly dispelled any idea that
T/Sergt William H. Ward of 4685
Homer avenue Sc, Washington
D. c., might have had that the in
vasion of Two Jima might be a
"cinch."
Two men were killed and five
others injured in the boat. Ware
recalled, but he escaped injury
the first in a series of near-miracu-
lous escapes.
Mortar fire was pretty bad when
our landing boat finally made the
beach," Ward said. Then, shells
twice hit in big holes in which ]
had taken cover"
Describing the work of unloading
supplies on the invasion beach
which he helped to direct, Ward
told how Jap artillery hidden or
the heights raked the area.
I'VE were under constant artil-
lery and mortar flre-and even
small arms fire-for nearly week
But my luck held out. even when
the Japs hit an ammunition dump
just 10 yards from me and the ex-
ploding shells threw fragments

sacrifices. 1t appears from whis-
pered reports that the administra-
ton under President Roosevelt has
gone a long way toward promising
her almost everything she wanted.
We have no territorial or power
political interests in Europe.
Once We have become accustomed
to the idea that the principles of the
Atlantic Charter were only a mere
doctrine and a signpost for the fu-
ture world without any actual
political meaning, it would be a
matter of platonic interest who in
Europe gets what and why.
All we want is, If possible, era
OF peace. But the sooner we are
told about those commitments which
we are learning about piecemeal
the better will we understand the
situation across the Atlantic.
The unadulterated truth may hurt
at first when people will ask them
selves whether the results were
worth hundreds of thousands of cas-
ualties and the many billions OF
dollars which the taxpayers will
have to pay for many generations
They may even ask whether bette,
arrangements could not have beer
made at a time when the American
Government had a great bargaining
power. But it will help greatly tc
understand the present differences
with the U. S. S. r. and will assist
in smoothing them over.
