The sub., 1945-08-09

A couple of weeks ago l gave you a few ideas how to clean out your attic or your shed and told you that for one dollar you could put an ad in this paper that would bring you in 8 few dollars that you never expected to get. To the time of this writing have failed to find any of these one dollar ads come in my mail. We'll, fellows, you are getting a much better pa- per than you have had for a long time and we are still going to make 1t bigger and better than ever. We are going to give you all the news on labor right from the press in Washington, D. c. We are going to give you all the news from all over our own state. In other words we are going to give you news that is news. News that has never been printed in the Sub before but to give you this news we must first get ads that will pay for the printing and mailing of this paper You get the paper free and most every man here in the yard looks forward to the Thursday afternoon that the Sub comes on the street. Starting this week you will receive your copy every week. If you boys back up this paper we will show you what good honest Editor will do for you. This paper Is not only going in your hands from now on but will go all over eastern Connecticut to be read by thou- sands of people everywhere. Your editor and his full staff are work ing on this paper free gratis trying to give you the best we possibly can so come on fellows, help us keep up the good work by giving us that ad or bring us an ad from store in your locality. Every ad we get gives you that much more toward another four pages of good read ing.
 While passing out the Sub at the gate last week took quite a lot of kidding and believe me fellows, I enjoyed what you had to say. You pass 1t out boys and will take it and give it back to you through these columns. I heard quite a few non-union men say 8 few words about B. s. Chapman and for them I want to say that can hold up my head and fight for labor a few months longer and have patience enough to give our union committee time enough to bargain with the company and don't say B. S. when a un- ion steward tries to explain to me what a union is. Also, am not too cheap to join union. l would like to see some of these men work ing for such bosses as VOyer and Sheflott. About one month with these bosses and you would be glad to join in with the men that are fighting to give you better work ing conditions.
 There is one thing that sure takes my attention more than anything in the union or Sub office and that IS LtlG way oOll1C OA CAAC OOyS SSoA to squawk when Bishop is not in the office. The first thing they say is how in hell can a man pay his dues around here with no one in the office. Well, Bishop was in the office every day last week on both shifts and he and yours truly spent four days together from ten in the morning until one the fol- lowing morning working on the books and I will say why in hell didn't you pay your dues then? The same men that did the squawking were in the office those days. l would also say that the stewards are worse than most of the men. After looking at the books sure got big surprise to find stewards SO far behind in paying dues and some stewards pay on the install ment plan.
 Friday night while putting in a long nights work I got sort of thirsty and decided to go down to Lew's Tavern and have a beer be-
