Longer vacations with pay are
in the offering for more than
100000 incorporating railroad
workers, as a result of an agree

cooperating railway labor or
ganiZations.
Final confirmation of the
agreement, which is retroactive
to Jan. /, 1945, is now up to the

Union leaders anticipate little

Plaskon
Powder Founders

Last week, some of us had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Slater
the new works manager. We
were given this opportunity be-
cause the new man had some
thing he wanted to sell us which
sounded in some ways like the
same old stuff PlaSkon has been
dishing up for years.
Here was an opportunity to
pave the way for labor man
agement committee, but the new
man, who is unacquainted with
the devious ways of the company
failed to put his ideas over. The
main reason for the failure was
not because of the new man, but
principally cause we are
afraid to trust the company in
verbal agreements. Inc new
man sold himself to some of the
Workers, and that is at least
something.
It is not going to be an easy
task to rehabilitate the conf
dence of the workers at Plaskon,
as the new manager will soon
discover. They have been hors-
ing around too long for that.
However, in all sincerity, we do
wish the new man the best of
luck. On the other hand, if the
proposals the new man gives us
are worth while and the COM
pany is sincere, there isn't any
reason why they cannot be put
in writing and signed if agreed
to.

An Open Letter
To Mr.. Schultz
Dear Bro. Schultz:

Dear Bro. Schultz:
Today upon arriving from
work James was informed by
his weeping wife that they
were in receipt of one of those
dreaded kilograms which start
out: The War Department re-
grets to inform you your
son James j. killed in ac-
ton.
Jimmy was gone.
After the first binding
shock, reaction set in. To hell
with everything. They say
time softens all blows and sor-
rows although to the sorrow
ing one it seems a lie.
But wait! James starts rea-
soning again. Should | now
60 against all that the kid
and | believed in? Jimmy
wouldn't like that. Shall /
now lay down on the job be-
cause all seems bitter to me?
The kid wouldn't like that
either. Should | now crawl
into my shell, let down on my
obligations and duties as a
citizen and union member,
have a good time with my
money, denounce all those
believe in joining a political
action committee, stop striv-
ing to better conditions in the
shop, home and community?
Or shall l continue to sup
port these activities as |
wholeheartedly did before?
Shall l continue to take an
active part in all phases of
my union and make real the
promises Of my officers and
fellow members which were
made to my Jimmy and all
the other Jimmys'.
Yes, by all that is holy l
shall and will! My son will
not be here to enjoy these
plans we made, but the guy
next door, on the next shop
bench may be more fortunate
and have his Jimmy return,
and / can see to it that he re-
turns to a real job, with real
security and a real peace
made possible by the sacrifice
of those who will not return,
and by my realizing that this
is no time to relax in my eff
forts to secure freedom from
want, fear, insecurity and the
freedom of fear of tomorrow.
know Jimmy would like
that
can do all this easily. All
l have to do is stop paying lip
service to all these things and
substitute action for words.
Fraternally yours,

SENIORITY
By Shorty" Sager

SENIORITY
Seniority while it is not big
word is one of the main topics
in the shop. 1t is a controver-
sial subject which causes a lot
of arguments and discussion
among union members.
A stunt some of the fellows
had pulled on them, and it
seems they were willing to have
it pulled, was when some quit
the plant for an indefinite period
of time and came back with the
promise that they could main
tain their seniority.
Our tract specifically
states that any employee who is
off for three days without no.
tice, or who quits, shall lose their
seniority. The contract does not
grant the company management
the right to give workers their
seniority, and nobody can ac-
cept seniority under such condi-
tions. Both the company and
the other party who have been
guilty of doing this insist on
clauses in the contract which
will protect their selfish interest
and cry when the clauses go
against their policy or a higher
wage bracket.
These same cry babies could
not possibly have had an oppor-
tunity to get higher wages if it
were not for the union, in our
case the UAW-CIO.
Wake up you fellows who
know what the union has acom-
plished in our plant. Do a little
cleaning up and make it stick.
