"Time after time we've been in

of one case where they laid
down an oil line, from tanker

opportunity for surprise at

MUSKEGON, Mich. (LPA)-
There once, in ancient Rome,
was a fellow named Virgil, who
made a classic wise crack about
Greeks who came with smiles
on their faces and knives hid
den under their tunics. II fear
the Greeks, come bearing gifts, "
said Virgil. Much the same
warning is given to unionistS by
George j. Murphy, UAW-AFL
official and editor Muskegon
Labor, about Sen. Arthur Van
denberg's proposal for the call
ing of a labor government-in-
dustry conference.
Vandenberg likened such a
meeting to the San Francisco
conference which drew up the
United Nations Charter. Van
denberg neglected to say, Muir
ply points out, that he favored
the use of force in carrying out
the provisions of the San Fran
cisco charter. Watch out, Muir
ply warns, that in the name of
industrial peace-a goal toward
which unions strive-restrictive
labor legislation is not put over
in such a conference.

News

Lots of changes at Propeller
since last week. Ours is one of
the hardest hit shops in the city
with 1900 layoffs.
Employees of the tool room
were retained for reconversipn
to peacetime production. Every
effort will be made by the COM
mittee to expedite this program
if the corporation is going to
have production.
We will give our members
who have been laid off informa-
ton regarding the shop through
the pages of the TOLEDO UN-
ION JOURNAL, so be sure and
read it each week. The commit
tee also wants the members to
know that as long as there Is
anyone working in the shop
negotiations will be carried on
and the rsults given you in these
pages.
Be sure and check your re-
ceipts carefully so you do not
become suspended. You have go
days from the first day of the
month on your last receipt be-
fore you become in arrears. Be
sure and report at Local II the
last five days of the month for
your out of work stamps, or pay
25 cents and get withdrawal
card. Those who do not expect
to return to work at our plant
should get a withdrawal because
you never know when you might
want to get job in a Local IL
shop. Protect yourself.
Members of the executive COM
mittee would like to express
their sincere appreciation and
thanks to the members for their
fine cooperation. 1t has been a
real pleasure to serve you and
we will cherish many fond MEM
ories of our experiences at the
Propeller plant.
Our members may rest assured
that our plant is too modern to
let lie idle. We may be sure that
in the event Propeller does cease
and another company take over,
the employees will have place
to work if they desire it.
We extend sympathy to Clar-
ence Priebe whose mother passed
away last week.

these things unless you put a
heavy pressure on them by con-
stantly demanding your just
share of the fruits of this land
of ours. Write and tell your u.
S. Senators and Representatives
what you want in these days of
unemployment. Yes, even write
to President Truman, telling him
to use his office and prestige as
a club on the National Legisla-
tive Body to pass laws for your
benefit.
Think this over.
In this great State of Ohio
which is supposed to be liberal,
you were swindled out of your
just dues of unemployment COM
pensation. Frank Lausche, the
Governor, did not sign the new
bill that would have given you
$21.O0 for % weeks till June

master swindlers when they
could have passed Senate Bill

Many expressions of wonder
are heard around the plant at
the sight of Virgil Hickman ac-
tually working again. The lead
er in the time keeping dept. ac-
tually drags himself out of the
shop these nights.
Discovered another r a b b t
fancier in our midst, our old pal
Ed. Birtwistle. He has 81 does
and one male.
Thumbs down seems to be
the idea of the Unit on sponsor
ing a team in the Local II
league. No rules in the A.B.C.
says the participants in any
sponsored team must use their
products although it is a fine
gesture on their part. The pur-
pose of any sponsor is to adver-
tise. Our Unit made a rule that
each member of the team must
attend Unit meetings or that
there wouldn't be any money in
the Golfers for any team. How
many of the people who attend
ed the picnic sponsored by our
Unit attends meeting a
month? What kind of advertis-
ing do we get from that? Other
teams are asking, where is
National Supply this year," a
team that ended in third place
last year gets no recognition
this year at all.
Now that the war is over and
our military forces have showed
their strength on the battle
fields of the world, let us show
our labor strength on the streets
of Toledo Labor Day. Let US
make it vi Day. Victory for
Labor.

Columbus for the play-offs. He
deserves the trip after II years
of trying. His position with the

LABOR DAY

In the past years the annual
CIO Labor Day Parade was one
to be proud of, this year we of
organized labor should proudly
demonstrate to the public of To-
ledo the strength of our mem
bership. We are proud of our
records established during these
years of war, through our dona-
ton of blood, purchase of bonds,
and our vast production of guns,
tanks and ammunition You
should all be on hand Sept. 3,
1945 to take part in the parade.
A float is being constructed to
represent the Champion Unit,
but that extra color can be
greately added by your presence
in the line of march. Colored
hats and walking sticks will be
available, so come early. Let's
make this the greatest parade in
the history of the CIO.
The Champion Unit wishes to
extend their thanks to DeWayne
Wisebaker Chrm. of the Picnic
Committee and members who
worked so hard at the picnic on
Sept. 18th through their work
the picnic was great success.
Thanks one and all.
With the sudden announcement
of the surrender of Japan to the
Allied Forces, the United States
Government dispenced with the
rationing of gasoline and numer-
Gus other items so vital to the
American public. Naturally this
means that the Champion Trans
portation Committee will no
longer be available to the fullest
extent. Although they are hop
ing to continue to serve the
members in the rationing of tires
and any other items that may
still be handled through the Ra-
ton board.
Too few of us have realized the
important part the members of
our transportation committee
have played. Bruce Melvin, De-
Wayne Wisebaker and Irene
Cherry have spent many hours

The people at Bostwick &
Braun report that they have
been enjoying a real holiday
during the last two weeks, but
now that the day watchman is
back they will have to settle
down for some honest to good
ness work.
For generations people have
been painting their houses with
old fashioned paint brushes. Now
comes the postwar method-dis-
covered by Harley Salisbury.
The new way to paint a house
is with a broom.
We just finished fighting a
war for freedom, and VIM. Sci
fert just got married. We can't
quite make it out yet but we
seem to see an inconsistency in
mans behavior here.
This took place back in the
days of labor shortages-before
VI. Charles Haver's landlady's
dog died. Mr.. Haver searched
high and low for a pallbearer.
Finally he paid someone $500
to bury the dog. A few months
from now it is not unlikely that
a lot of ex-war workers will be
looking for a chance to earn a
few dollars with pick and
shovel.
The two day vi holiday
proved a boomerang to many
warehouse workers who found
themselves faced with three
days work on Friday.
The Toledo daily papers re-
port that Congress is all set to
encourage the big industrialists
by reducing, or eliminating ex-
cess profits taxes. The small
business man has had little, if
any, excess profits so this is not
very important to him. There
may be no reduction in taxes for
us poor people who must work
for a living and who are ex-
pected to buy the products of
industry. All! Brave new world.
