are 6tllI her0, ana also the the 1eW that have left US to report to the main yard. These men have pro- duced for the company 100% and have used their help as help should be used. MT. Hobby. John Corners, Jack Edwards, Hansen, Austin, Paul Hicks, Morris Gar ney. Jimmie Quilt and Al Masan- ti. These men have been claSsed among the best the E. B. Co. has had in any of the three yards and we hope some day in some way we may all be brought back to- gether again.
 It has been brought to the at tention of the shop stewards that the plant protection men, known to us as the guards, are having some little difficulty in joining up in the Union. They report that the once State Police lieutenant, MT. Petteringell, their boss, is strongly against them joining any organization. We want to say right here and now. this is a free country and every man has the right to belong to an organization that is for the benefit of labor and no man holding a foreman's job has any right to interfere in union activities. For his benefit, want to state that the Wagner Act gives all men the right to join labor unions and bargain for their working conditions and adjust ment of wages. I think it is time this union looked into matters of this kind and took action on, such.
 We'll, fellows. keep up your spir- it's. as there is not going to be any more cold weather, as MT. Varnes has just got his annual hair cut. Also, 1t is reported that the mos quitoes are here. This was report ed by the very charming wife of our well-known chipper, MT. Chap pell. She was out shoveling some of the large snow drifts away from her back door, when one of the fa- nous Jersey mosquitoes arrived here at Salem. Watch out for the mosquito bites. Sally.
 Chapman. the crane operator, Is rated as a sissy. since last Satur- day night, because he took one less highball than the rest of the party. Rossie, the chipper, held up with the rest, as far as the highballs went, but Chapman didn't fall asleep until he arrived home. We, hope you cured the cold, Rosie. Bill Demborski was invited out to an Italian dinner of the famous dish known as planta, which Is made of yellow meal, meat and a good sauce poured over the top. Bill was asked how he liked it, and after telling everyone how good it was, he was informed he had just eaten the family cat Watch out the next time, Bill, you know red points are getting scarce.
 They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.
 Always it Is the same old com 1 plaint when we go to our month ly meetings. Where are the stew ards? When we met on Monday nights, the night men came mostly ly because they were paid for their time, only few day men came. We changed to Sunday afternoon, and still it is mostly night men that are there. Now we changed again and the meetings will be at II o'clock Saturday morning and still wager 1t will be the same few faces we see in the hall. What l is the matter? Are these men stewards because they want to work for the men they represent, Or are they stewards because they are going to get seniority rights and are only thinking of them- selves. If can get out of my bed at six-thirty in the morning and thumb my way to these meetings and very seldom miss, rain or snow, cold or hot, the men who have cars sure have no excuse for not coming. You, the men in the different departments, should look into this matter, and see that your I steward attends these meetings or
