meeting of the Stockholm Work
ers Chamber on October II, at
which Premier Per Albin Han
son of Sweden was the leading
speaker, adopted a resolution
urging a continued and ener-

The
Acklinite
By Bud HerrOOn

The boys on the bowling
teams have done nice job OF
selling their tickets. Some of
the fellows must really want
that quart.
If you have time some day
lust notice all the discourteouS
and important seeming people
there are at Acklin; the time
$50, the place the time clock.
1t seems as if so many people
think they are much better than
others and should not have to
take their turn in ringing out.
After jumping, pushing, and
yelling to get ahead of the other
guy and finally ring their card
they set on the bench and calm
ly wait minutes or more for
someone at the end of the line
or just to rest.
If it were not for some of the
people who do form line, it
would be a regular mad house.
Don't forget the other fellow
may have as an important an
engagement as yourself.
Bets are being won and lost
daily. To verify this, ask the
Die Shop.
Don't forget the next safety
meeting Nov. 18th. See Frank
Bennett for full information.
Your attendance would be ap-
preciated.

Education Group
Plans Program

MILWAUKEE, UPA) - The
sixth annual Midwest Workers
Education Conference at the Ho-
tel Pfister here last week posed
as the theme of its sessions the
question, How Must Labor
Education Serve the Labor
Movement Today" and the 800
labor leaders and educators in
attendance answered: % by ex-
planning to the public labor's
demand for full employment;
(2) by promoting cooperation
between labor and farmers; and
(3) by fighting for fair con-
sideration of minorities.
Sponsored by the American
Labor Education Service, the
conference attracted delegates
from IL states representing 40
AFL and CIO unions, workers
education groups, universities
and farm organizations.
Current strikes and labor's
wage demands were termed
purely defensive" by Abraham
Plotkin, midwest general or
ganizer of the international La
dies Garment Workers Union,
in a round table discussion which
opened the conference. The
workers are fighting against
cuts in take-home pay and in
defense of their present living
standards, he said.
Lewis Corey professor of
economics at Antioch College,
said, II deny, as an economist,
that high wages will bring on
initiation. On the contrary, un-
less wages are raised, there will
be an insuffiency of purchasing
power which will bring on de-
flation."
There is a danger of infla-
ton, Corey said, but it lies in
the drive of business for higher
prices and higher profits by get
ting rid of all price controls.
The government contributes to
the danger by its inability or un-
willingness to keep controls, he
said.
Regarding business claims
that wage increases cause price
increases, Corey said, "It just
isn't so. Wage costs are not all
of costs of production. In gen.
eral, they are about 25%o. In
this case, a 109o wage increase
would mean only a 212 % in
crease in costs"
Enactment of the Murray-Pat-
man full employment bill was
considered a necessary first step
toward jobs for all, by all the
round table participants, who
were, besides Corey and Plotkin,
David Sigman, director, Nation
al Labor Service; Arthur A. Ell
der, director, Workers Educa-
tional Service, University of
Michigan; Jack Zeller, educa-
ton director, UAW-CIO; and
Martin Byrne, organization di-
rector, North Dakota Farmers
Union.

The girls on the Speedway
bowling team would like to
know what Clyde Justus bet

ferences of opinion about the

The farmers around West
Branch, Mich, are busy these
days saving the horns off of

have criticized the operation of
state unemployment compensa-

fair and incompetent.
The Alabama IUC, represent

ton after reviewing charges

Johnnie Stanko has new
method of keeping his girlish
figure. How about giving US the
Iowdown John?
Betty Wilcynski is aheadin' to-
wards Californiay'. Best of luck
to her!
A little accident met up with
Arlene Miller. Be careful next
time Honey! God only gave you
two arms va know!
Seems as though all the boys
are back. Ollie "Shiek Hole
winskf' will be reporting for
work soon. Just like old times
for the old gang.
At $50 every A. NJ. we find
Ben j. Maciejewski all huddled
up with his shirt collar hiding
his nose. Cold isn't it Benny?
Calvin Bailey alias Short
cake" looks so gloomy on Mon
day morning. Sleep is a good
remedy for feeling that way.
Genny Jennings has adopted
a new style, she only wears out
one stocking at a time by just
wearing one.
Every one is urged to attend
the regular monthly meeting on
Wednesday, November the l4th,
as some purity important deci-
sions will be made by those
present.
THANK YOU ETC.
Thank you one and all for
doing your bit to put Tommy

Seeing Eye-w,oU"ts
JOKER

After listening to all the COM
plants of members who are be-
ing pushed around by state serv-
ants of the United States En-
ployment Service it seems about
time the workers of Ohio woke
up. The best way to clean up
snat joker is to elect liberal
thinking people in place of re-
dictionaries to the state legisla-
ure.
Next year is going to be the
year to do it. So let's get busy.
Organized labor can do this
job if everyone will pitch in and
help. The war came to an end
in August 1945 and what have
we accomplished to date? Prac-
ticslly nothing. The government
promised everything, but what
do you get? Twenty-one Dol
lars a week if you are lucky
enough with your answer over
on Michigan Street, maybe less.
u We wonder if Bodette thought
he was kidding anyone when
hs wrote that article for the
Blade that checks were only a
few days late. How does he ac-
count for the nine and ten weeks
delay. You could starve to death
for all that Bodette and the
bunch of jobholderS of the I'm
employment care. Lack of help"
Is just an alibi. Wake up mem
bers. Let's clean house in '46.
FINE JOB
We the members of the WHY'S
Unit think that the finest job for
our brothers and sisters of the
Armed Service is coming to an
end. They are arriving home in
large groups and are paying us
a visit to get reacquainted and
ITO thank us for the boxes we
s;ent out every monh. To those
who donated their rs cents per
week we say Thanks for a fine
job. You will be surprised when
the grand total comes in on
how much was spent on this
great union project. We accom-
plished much more than you
think. We kept our boys in
formed through the UNION
JOURNAL of what was going on
at home. This is one job we are
all proud of and all we can say
is Thanks"
1t was proven Friday night
Nov. End that members of the
Willys Unit would rather at
tend a meeting at Local II than
the Civic Auditorium. We had
a large overflow meeting. This
proves that it is about time the
b membership of the Local start
thinking about that large audi
torium that has been planned
for several years. Let's hope we
can do it in 1946.
