An unexpected setback oc-
Cured to the UAW-CIO's drive
to organize Thompson Products
and Thompson Aircraft Products,
both of Cleveland, when the
Auto Workers lost recent cleo
ton, Mr.. Crawford and his as
sociates might as well face it.,
they will eventually have to deal
with the UAW-CIO.
We don't think this is whis-
tling in the dark. The machinery
is already in motion and when
the opportune time comes will
go into high gear.
Our union never says die and
we should take courage when
we see what has occurred in
other plants in and out of Toledo
where the UAW-CIO has been
defeated, one, two or more times
and came back to win.
One of the ways to aid in the
organizational fight is to pay
your dues and give your officers
your cooperation. Your execu-
tive committee is ready to repre-
sent you whenever need arises.
Call on them any time.

0'DonneII Agrees
He Lied

ASHIN TON (LPA)-
Washingtonians and New York
ers were gasping last week over
the admission by John O'Don-
nell, columnist for the Times
Herald and N. Y. Daily News,
that he had printed a lie. O'Don-
nell, ranked with Westbrook
Pegler as welding a vicious pen
on labor and liberal causes, had
said that influential Jews had
pressured the removal of Gen.
Patton from his command of the
Third Army. O'Donnell had
stated that the hospitalized sol
dier slapped by Gen. Patton at
the height of the war in Europe
was Jewish. This was proven
untrue by numerous other col
umnists, as we'll as by the soldier
himself, member of a Protest
ant sect.

Mather Unit
Mutterings
By Jim FoItz

Mather Spring Co. has first
aid room almost 11B feet long
an@ 6Ia feet wide. At present it
is cluttered up by an opened
crate nearly four feet square. In
this magnificent first aid room
are many contraptions for the
benefit of the approximate 300
employees. There is tea kettle
of hot water always at hand and
a small roaster too. These are
apparently for sterilizing pur-
poses as there is no other steri-
lizing outfit there. In the vast
array of equipment at hand are
one teaspoon and an eye washing
cup. There are two pairs of
tWeezers and a scalpel, none of
which are entirely rusted over.
Oh, yes,z we have our eye wash,
iodine, tape and gauze as we'll as
several other containers at hand.
Management, isn't it grand to
have so much available to aid
your miserable help? Aren't you
proud of the way first aid in this
factory is handled? There is no
one on hand at any time with
any first aid training to boast
about.
On Oct. "a a forge room en-
ploye was injured about 7:30
a. m. The man received first aid
after a fashion and was told to
get to the hospital. No one Of
fered to take him. He was told
they would call cab, but with
cabs so uncertain this man found
it necessary to call his wife to
bring the car over for transpor-
tation to the hospital.
The employees of Mather are
disgusted with the deplorable
existing condition of our first aid
and think it time someone in
Management looked into the
matter. Just a suggestion, if
Management finds the financial
condition of the company so de-
plorable that nothing can be
done to remedy the situation,
why not investigate the possibili-
ties of the city-furnished serv-
ices?

Notes

The guy who said that no

our notebook for the past week
to see what happened, we find
naught. So we had skull prac-
tice and came up with the fol-
lowing items:
That cute, and l do mean cute
little red mustachio sported by
a certain supervisor in mlscel-
laneous dept. suggests a matinee
idol. or do we mean idle?
And for another thing, Joe
Juzyak should be given all the
respect which should be paid an
assistant foreman. Of course, ne
can't file a grievance.
Without any reports from sick
members, it would look like the
whole shop is alarming healthy.
Anyhow, even if none are re-
ported sick, but are sick, we
hope this finds them back in the
pink.
Whenever you see something
hanging from one of the peoples
back in our shop, and it may be
an old auto license tag,
chicken bone or lathe, you can
put your small change on 1t thta
Pete Johnson was the guy who
did the dirty work.
If we don't get more news
next week, we will make up
some stuff about the folks and
~ them try and deny 1t. This
is a warning, so get busy and
give with the news.

East End Club Files Petition
 Asks for Improve
 ments, Better Police
 Protection

Following a petition to the alder manic and works board for improved lighting and traffic conditions in the East End section, by the East End Community club, committees have been named by both boards to investigate conditions. The East End Community club had previously appealed to Mayor John s. Mona gan for adequate lighting, sidewalks, better speed laws, and sufficient police protection.
 A committee of both boards was named by Patrick F. Shea and will receive the East End committee at a meeting this afternoon. Represent ing the aldermanic and works board will be Aldermen Martin J. Tehan CD, Edward P. Rafferty (D), Mar tin F. Sullivan (D), James w. Ahercrombie (R), and Richard D. Bensen (R).
 During a conference yesterday with Mayor Monagan, the East End committee, headed by Paul Ruzzo, was informed that the police are conducting & campaign against speeders throughout the city. It was pointed out by the mayor that violations of speed laws have been frequent within the city limits, and the judges of the city court are cooperating with the police for the enforcement of speeding laws. Sev- eral violators of such laws have already received stiff penalties, the mayor said.
 Wartime shortages have prevented installation of street lights and sidewalks, he said, but plans are now underway for this work in the postwar period.
 The mayor pointed out that a survey conducted in 1889 indicated a need for more lighting on the city streets, and the city plan com- mission had recommended that pro- vision be made for better street lighting and better sidewalks.

"If there was ever a time in history when America needs an in- formed, intelligent generation of young men and women," he said, it is now. They are the ones who are going to lead America through the troubled days ahead. We cannot afford to let them become the lost generation.
