 I guess the people back home CAN'T POSSIBLY BEL IEV V E THAT WE ARE TREATED THE WAY WE ARE! Even the men that were leaving the Island to be discharged, are kept waiting in the rain to board ship. They're given "K' rations for their meals while they are waiting. About three thousand men spent the other night sleeping in the rain! AND ON THEIR SEABAGS, because their names weren't called the day be- fore to board the ship homeWard bound and they had to stay there and wait for orders!
 That ought to give you an IDEA OF HOW WONDERFUL it is to be in this mans Navy. Our Batta- lion is in hopes of being HOME WARD BOUND in three Or four months and the days are REALLY DRAGGING! We don't KNOW DEFINITELY, but it's a VERY POPULAR RUMOR!

agreements now have provisions for apprenticeship training, the Broth erhood said. Many other improve ments were secured during the year by the Boilermakers through col- lective bargaining - and without strikes.
 Officials of the union were cheered also by the publicity given this week in the Kansas City Star" to an editorial in the "Boilermak- CTS Journal which described mod el relations that have existed for years between the Brotherhood and the Darby Corporation, manufac- turers of locomotive boilers, land- ing boats and other equipment.
 The editorial hailed the coopera- ton existing at the Darby plant as proof that Tabor and manage ment can work together. The forthcoming labor management conference on industrial peace, to be held in Washington, should give consideration to the Darby plan as an example of how to secure peaceful collaboration between unions and industry, the editorial urged.

Launch Attack
 At Sears ROebuck

Dallas, Texas = An organizing campaign has been undertaken at the Sears Roebuck maii-order house. The drive is. being carried on jointly by Local AS, assisted by c. Stafford, vice president of the International Union, and Lo- cal 368 of the Retail Clerks.
 The company employs many hundreds of office and clerical workers in the Dallas operations which come under the jurisdiction of Local 45.
 Considerable interest is being shown and joint organizational meetings are scheduled for the workers covered by the campaign.

The premium for the insurance is' included in the monthly dues paid in to the local Union. The dues in the Local Lodge of Boilermakers are $500 per month. Of this SIPS per month is for the insurance pre- mium which insures each member for $333.33 for the first year, $66666 for the second year and $1,- OO0.00 thereafter WITH DOUBLE INDEMNITY in case of accidental death. NO PHYSICAL EXAMIN- ATION IS NECESSARY. This plan has been adopted year after year and convention after convention by representatives of the LOCAL AND DISTRICT LODGES of the Boilermakers Union. The reason primarily responsible for the adop- ton of this super insurance plan is on account of the hazardous na- ture of the work done by Boiler makers and the terribly high pre- miums demanded of them by the insurance companies because of the nature of their work. IT IS POS- SIBLE TO GET THIS LOW COST AND HIGH BENEFIT INSUR- ANCE ONLY BECAUSE THE BROTHERHOOD CONT RIA c T s FOR HUNDREDS OF THOU SANDS OF MEMBERS AT ONE TIME. The cost is the same RE- GARDLESS OF AGE under the age 60, and REGARDLESS OF PHYSICAL CONDITION.
 Here are some interesting mathe- nautical facts. At $500 per year ($1.25 per month) a person would have to pay for STATESMEN YEARS in order to lose anything out of the benefits. Even at $500 per month or $36.00 per year, member of the BoilermakerS Union would have to pay for THIRTY YEARS before he would lose against the benefits. Where else can the working man buy policy like that? Those are facts to consider. How much would it cost a worker forty years of age (that is the average age in the Boilermakers) IF HE WERE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PASS AN EXAMINATION to be insured for $1 100000?
 And now ever since August, 1945, 1t is possible for a member of the BOilermakers Union to WITH DRAW FROM THE UNION if he is not working any longer at the trade, and by merely paying the SIPS per month-NOTHING ELSE, continue to be insured for $1 ,OOO. 100. THINK THAT ONE OVER. You

Significantly, practically all the agreements, new and renewed, car- ried improved conditions for the employees covered. Many hundreds of them, for example, have clauses for vacations with pay.

Letters to inc Editor

Dear MT. Bishop:
 I want to thank the American Federation of Labor for the op- portunity they gave me and my office to broadcast to the public last night, Wednesday, October IT, 1945. Also for the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Ruth Dembo who has a very pleasing personality and who was most cooperative.
 With kindest personal regards, l am,
 Very truly yours,

 War Dept, Box BPR
 The Pentagon
 Washington, D. c. Dear Editor:
 The War Department feels strongly that the full cooperation of industry is vitally necessary to our national security. Our job is not over with the cessation of hostili- ties. What the United States does now in these coming months and years, is of vital importance if we are to keep what we fought for. Novel war weapons will not lessen the need for the full mobilization of industry in another war. If the atomic bomb should ultimately push other weapons into discard, the answer to one atomic bomb will either be two atomic bombs or some other even more intricate counter-measures. In any event, the demand upon industrial pre- paredness will be increased. It is of critical importance that we re- alize that it takes nearly twice as long to prepare for the industrial side of war as it does for the mili- tary side and that we cannot make ourselves industrially ready for national defense without cost.
 You and your publications played an important part in the vast re- organization in industry necessary to equip army and navy of the size we had in the recent war and with which we won our victory. Won't you continue to call on us for ma- terial about the Army, information and photographs dealing with the occupation of Germany and Japan, our foreign bases, another Christi mas overseas, the enormous amount of supplies needed to maintain our Army abroad, research and devel- opment of new weapons and for such background material as the recent booklets on Radar, the Smyth report on Atomic Energy for Military Purposes, the Report on Pearl Harbor, etc, which every in-' dustrial editor should have on hand for reference. While the War De- partment has a limited supply of some of the larger booklets, we can refer you to the proper source for more. We shall be very glad to continue to assist you in every way we can in our common goal that of keeping the citizens Of this country the best informed in the world.

Dear Rowland:
 This place is really the worst place in the world in which to BE STRANDED! We've had TWO TEXTBOOKS so far, and each one leveled our camp completely. The one we had about two weeks ago was like going through HELL and HIGH WATER! The velocity of the wind was recorded at 172 miles per hour. Quite few of our men were injured by flying debris. Two men were killed out of our battalion alone. We were homeless for three days. There isn't enough material on the island to rebuild the different camps, and I imagine it would take quite a while to get 1t here.
 We got orders to discontinue all outside and camp construction. sNhere's a rumor' we might go back to the States or to Manila. Per- sonally, I'd rather go right STRAIGHT TO HELL than STAY HERE!
 Quite a few of the fellows are still sleeping in Native Huts that are all torn up and burned from battle, and we have been and are STILL EATING TX" NATIONS, and canned food! We've had fresh meat twice in the past three months

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Feather Fluid To Remove Spots
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

The kind of rings no woman likes are those left on clothes by spotting fluids.
 Unless properly applied, all spotting fluids will ring" say dry cleaning experts, who suggest using one of the generally accepted kind, but caution that good results de. pend upon the skillful practice of "feathering out"
 To initiate successfully the pro- fessional dry cleaners method. the experts warn you never rub Q fluid into 6 spot. Put 1t in gently with . cloth, travelling in continually wid- ending circles until the spotting fluid has evaporated. This will leave no sharp line of demarcation between fabric treated by spotting fluid and that which has not been cleaned d-thus obviating the tell- tale ring.

 MOTHERS SKEPTICAL
 Of course. it may not turn out like that at all. And Johnny may put what he learns about home making to such good use he'll be a joy around the house. If that hap pens St. Louis mothers will be for ever indebted to St. Louis teachers.
 But mothers have g right to be skeptical until Johnny has scrubbed the bathroom floor more than once. In the past the hardest men to have around home have usually been the ones who thought they knew how things should be done-and were ready and willing to show woman once.
