Ten Thousand Attend the FairchiId
Aircraffs Family Day" Program Sunday

Approximately ten thousand peo-
pie, employees and members of
their families, were guests of the
Fairchild Aircraft Division on Sun
day afternoon, when the local air
craft plant threw open it's doors for
a gala Family Day" observance,
which followed, by less than a
week, the completion here of the
first production C-82 Packet for the
Army Air Forces.
Highlighted by an air show fea-
turing a fight by the experimental
prototype of the Packet and aero
battles by a Fairchild PT-19, the
company's open house" gave thous-
ands of Hagerstown residents a
memorable afternoon of thrills and
entertainment Many of the en-
ployees' relatives who attended
were making their first visit inside
of a war production plant and all
of them left with a better under
standing of the blending Of human
effort and raw materials that goes
into the assembly line of large
airplane such as the Packet.
Family groups began pouring
through the East gates at Plant 3
Immediately after they were opened
at 1890 p. m. The crowd quickly
doubled, then tripled and was still
increasing two hours later when the
gates were closed.
The event was Family Day" in
every sense. Visitors were of all
ages-including small children in
their parents arms and air-minded
youngsters who stared in open-eyed
wonder at the huge jigs and as
semblies comprising the C-82 pro-
duction line. The spacious interior
of Plant 3, which usually resounds
with the staccato Of rivet guns, took
on the air of an exhibition hall as
the closely-packed crowd filed
down the roped-off aisles between
C-82 parts in various stages of pro-
duction. In an adjoining plant,
other spectators were going through
the assembly area where wings are
built for the PPM Mariner, the
Nays flying boat which is active
in the Pacific
After making tour of the plants,
the large throng stood patiently in
a long line for an opportunity to 90
into the cargo compartment of the
first production Packet which was
open for inspection. The tail doors
of the giant cargo plane, which is
now being readied for test fights,
were swung open so that visitors
could walk through and see the or
rangement of paratroop seat and
hospital litters.

Out on the concrete apron, north
OF Plant 3, the Packet prototype
was on display behind roped-off
area and a public address system
was used to describe the Flying
Boxcar" In welcome address to
the thousands of employees and
their families who attended, Gener-
al Manager II. S. Boutelle stated
that the Packet is urgently needed
by the Army Air Forces for supply
operations in the Pacific and that
the schedule calls for quantity pro-
duction to begin almost immediate
ly.
1t Col. James S. Hand AAF
plant representative at Fairchild,
told the crowd that every effort
would be devoted to turning out
more and more C-82s and he also
praised the achievements of work
ers in the company's PPM shop
who are now busily engaged in
producing wings for the Mariner
patrol bomber. Joseph Craig,
president of CIO Local 842, also
spoke stressing the need for addi-
tional workers.
Final event Of the Family Day"
program was an air show. Len
Povey, former instructor in the
Cuban Air Force and now associ-
ated with Fairchild, took off in
PT-l9 and treated the crowd be-
low to an exciting exhibition of
stunt flying. Performing with
seasoned skill, Povey put the small
AAF trainer into a series Of slow
rolls, loops and spins that brought
forth enthusiastic applause from
his audience below.
The Packet, with Chief Test Pilot
Dick Henson at the controls, next
took the aerial stage A ship-to-
ground broadcast over the public
address system told the crowd what
was going on during the flight of
the big cargo plane, and before
coming in for landing, Henson
zoomed low over the runway going
more than 200 miles an hour to
give visitors a last-minute thrill be-
fore going home
The Family Day" observance was
the first time a large number of
outsiders have been admitted to the
Fairchild plants since February of
1943, when the company received
the Army Navy 'E" award.

of the case.
The special hearing of the con-
tract dispute before the NWLB

vote was taken under the terms
of the -Connally act with
80 per cent of the entire Union

CIO Protest
Rails Sale

WASHINGTON, July 9 (LPA)
A sharp protest by CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray against the
shipment of 100, 1000 tons of steel
rails to Spain was followed
quickly last week by statement
by the Foreign Economic Admin
istration that permission for the
shipment had been denied,
Murray asked War Mobilizer
Fred Vinson to investigate the
sh p m n which he declared
would be IAN outrageous situa-
ton made possible because the
WPB had open-ended steel and
allowed its sale in the free mar
ket."
The CIO chief told Vinson
that obviously corporation
can make more money supplying
steel to enemies of the American
people than selling it under price
controls to our railroads. 1t is
unnecessary for me to point out
the need of our own railroads for
rails in order to meet the cur
rent tremendous transportation
demands to say nothing of the
need of rails for rebuilding the
transportation systems of our al
lies and the liberated countries"

B2-H Bill
Faces Beufino

WASHINGTON, July 9 GPA)
Labor leaders this week saw a
good chance that the notorious
union-busting B2H bill, authored
by Senators Burton, Hall and
Hatch, may never reach the Sem
ate floor intact. The legislation,
designed to create a new Federal
Industrial Relations Act but de-
nounced by all sections of organ
lied labor as a bill to enslave
and straitjacket unions, has been
sent to the Senate Education and
Labor Committee.
Chairman of the committee,
which is known as the nearest
thing to prolabor committee in
the Senate, is James Murray Cd.
Mont.) author of the full employ
n-ent bill. No amendments have
yet been offered to take away
the bills more pernicious pro-
visions but labor leaders were
confident that they would be of
fered if the proposed law ever
comes to the floor of either the
Senate or House.
Faces Tough Shedding
Zone things is fairly certain"
d clare one Congressman.
THAT bill is going to find damn
tough Shedding in the Senate
Committee"
He predicted, however, that
B2H would probably not reach
even a committee hearing before
September or October. It's only
supporters outside of Congress,
SO far have been the reactionary
n ewspa apers and columnists.
Westbrook Pegler who has long
sought the destruction of the
Wagner Act and the Natl. Labor
Relations Board contended that
the introduction of the B2H bill
proves his contentious up to the
hilt because B2H would under
mine the Act and the NLRB.

committee sent one of its agents
to Akron to study charges thai
the strike had been provoked.
Contract negotiations at both
Goodyear and Firestone col
lapsed before the walkout.
How effective the drafting OF
strikers would be was prob
lematical. Selective Service and
War Manpower officials were
considering an Associated Press
report that quotedJ. p Riddle,
chairman of Board l, as telling
state officials I'VE should not be
forced to become strike
breaking agency"
Truman Beats Record
Government figures show that
President Truman, in just three
months of administration, has
seized almost as many COM
panies for noncompliance with
WLB orders as President Roose-
velt did since WLB was created.
Other strikes dotted the nation
in Detroit, Mobile, Fort Arthur,
Tex, Chicago, and Plainfield,
N. j. The most spectacular,
however, was the strike of the
Independent Newspaper and
Mail Deliverers' Union in N. Y.
City. The union tied up every
N. Y. newspaper Except PM)
from newsstand and out-of- town
deliveries. The IL struck N. Y.
papers sold only a fraction of
their normal press run.
Speed-up systems, downgrad-
ing, refusal to meet with union
representatives and to negotiate
grievances in terms of existing
contracts are a few of the rea-
sons for the present walkouts,
according to union leaders.

Time for
Plain Talk
By
Tom Burke
Vice>President
Local IL,
UAW-CIO

Spicer has been closed down
since last Thursday morning.
AS in all affairs of this kind
rumors and rumors are rife.
In this article T will attempt to
set forth all the facts of the
case.
Of course attempts are al
ways made in situations of this
kind to place the blame on or
ganized labor. However, |
would like to point out that as
early as last March, two
months before We Day, news
services and confidential in
formation services for manage
ment and investors were pre-
dieting a wave of strikes This
summer. How did they know
six months beforehand that
strikes would occur unless
management intended to pro-
mote them?
The promotion of these
strikes is designed to accom-
plish two things. First it is the
fond hope of management that
organized labor will lose pub
lie support. Toward this end
management has used every
publicity agency at its COM
mand to try to tear down the
Job that labor has done in this
war. Huge headlines have pro-
claimed to all and sundry the
supposedly unpatriotic actions
of workers in stopping work in
wartime. On the positive side
they have run large and ex-
pensive advertisement ex-
tolling their own virtues as
super patriots. They have
