NOTICE
To all members of the
Champion Unit

l have heard, during the past
year, some of the members say
what do l get for my dollar" :"
or what did the executive shop
committee do for u.s." Let's go
back over the past year and
point out some of the gains that
were made for us.
/. Through hard struggle,
W. have put into effect, double
time for over four hours on
Saturday.
2. A new lighting system
throughout the plant, for which
we are sure, all employees are
grateful.
3. Protective equipment and
special clothing for employees,
without any cost to them, for a
safe and healthful performance
of their jobs.
4. Average rate for piece
work employees, for down time.
5. Two weeks vacation with
average pay for employees who
have worked five years or more.
One week for those who have
worked less than five years.
6. Average rate for en-
ployees who replace an absen-
tee.
7. Mo ern canteens and
lunch wagons throughout the
plant. All new equipment in
the cafeteria.
8. Minimum rates of pay for
piece work employees who have
been increased seven to nine
cents an hour for females, and
three to ten cents for males.
9. Shortening the probation
period for new employees.
10. For the boys and girls
in service, one weeks average
pay when leaving. In the past,
they received one weeks pay
figured at the base rate. This
will mean some retroactive pay
for all those who are in service.
Also, they will receive their va
cation checks as if they were
working at the plant.
There are many other things,
too numerous to mention due
to lack of space, that the Union
has done for you. Now ! would
like to ask you is this worth
one dollar a month?
With big George Holtgrieve
finding the bucket for IA points
the Champion Unit Basketball
team defeated h e American
Propellors by the score of % to

other notch in the league stand

4. An annual wage which will
give you an assured income on
a yearly basis instead of in
security which you now have on
unstable jobs and unemploy-
ment insurance which is entire
ly too little. 2. Increased un-
employment compensation 10
$50 or $35 per week for 30
weeks. 3. Adequate old age
retirement pensions increased to
give the old people an income
on which they can live decent
Iy. 4. Health Insurance mod
eled after the Murray, Wagner,
Dingell bill.
Nobody can say these things
are impossible to secure. We
have made gains in the social
legislation field and we must
continue to make gains. We
can accomplish these things if
you will get behind the PAC
and either join it now, if you
are a member, or renew your
membership for 1945 if you
have been a member in 1914.
See your steward and gel

families by getting behind this
great organization which has al
ready made its mark on the

INDIANAPOLIS Feb. 5 (LPAl

with an editorial calling for re-
peal of the Wagner Act which
appeared in the January issue of

Denying that the editorial re-
flected his views, Tobin declared

for freeing the toilers from COM

JOIN THE PAC

Whether you wear a white
collar or a pair of dirty over
alls, you should be member
of the PAC. There are many
reasons why you should belong.
If you don't want to take my
word for it will you take the
word of David Lawrence who
writes a daily column for lead
in.5 newspapers.
This is what Lawrence has to
say:
1T (PAC) is the greatest po-
litical force this country has
ever seen for doing good for the
common man, and if every
worker, whether he belongs to a
union or not would join in this
great movement it would be
able to elect its own people to
office"
Lawrence also praised Sidney
Hillman who is the leader of the
movement, and a man whom re-
dictionary politicians fear.
Here are some of the things
for which the PAC is striving:

American war production has
been obstructed by a conspiracy
to restrict production and in.
flate prices of industrial dia-

of important machine tools, the
u. S. Justice Dept. charged here
last week.
In civil injunction suit

Bridges Deportation
Heads For Showdown

WASHINGTON, February 6
(LPA)-The four-year fight by
President Harry Bridges, of the
Init. Longshoremen Warehouse
mems Union-CIO, against de-
portation to Australia as an un-
desirable alien headed for its
final showdown last week as
the U. S. Supreme Court agreed
to review a May, 1912 order by
Atty. Gen. Biddle that Bridges
leave the country.
Biddle's action was based on a
finding that Bridges had been
a member of the Communist
Party, a claim that the CIO
leader has consistently denied.
In granting the review the Su-
preme Court refused to permit
the Communist Political Assn.
to enter the case in order to
support its contention that the
Communist Party did not favor
violent overthrow of the U. S.
Government.

Ohio CIO Challenges
Legislature

COLUMBUS, Ohio (LPA) -
Let the states do it, was the
battle cry of reactionaries who
killed the Kilgore Bill which
would have provided a practical
plan for Federal unemployment
compensation. The criers for
states rights" were thrown the
challenge last week by the Ohio
State CIO, which threw its full
support behind an improved un-
employment compensation bill.
Features of the legislation are:
increase weekly benefits from
maximum of $16 to $25; extend
duration of benefits from 18 to
rs weeks; reduce waiting period
from two weeks to One.
