Montgomery relishes a battle
with the big boys and special
privilege interests. Looking back
over three and a half years as
a member of the OPA Labor
Policy Committee he and other
committee members can see
more clearly now than during
the war years what an uphill
battle it was against the unceas-
ing maneuvering by industry ano
big business for the destruction
of price ceilings.

TUG
Acklinite
By Martin Bachli

Last Saturday the shop had its
annual picnic, sponsored by the
A. A. c. and up TO date was the
finest which we ever had.
The various committees are
to be thanked for the good work.
AS usual some of the boys just
had to indulge in their usual
domino game and some of them
lost everything but the shirts
from their backs and the Filings
in their teeth.
Besides the usual ball game
and children's sports one of the
highlights was the bingo game.
One of the best prizes was a
lamp made by Joe Kardos our
bowling editor.
Attention mushroom hunters!
The late rains have brought out
an abundance of the deadly

This mushroom is the man killer
which brought death to quite a
few people in the Toledo area.
For more information see your
shop reporter who has two
specimens to show those who
should avoid picking this type.

State Industrial Union Council,
elected at the convention this
week, claimed clear-cut victory
for anti-Communist CIO forces
in the state. as result of the
meeting.
After a bitter battle, in which
charges that "goons" were being
used were thrown by both sides,
delegates voted straight anti
Communist slate into office. For
president, they chose Unit e d
Steelworkers Regional Director
Joseph Germano; other officers
are Vice President Philip Weight
man, from the Packinghouse
Workers, and Secretary-Treas-
urer Maurice F. McElligott of
the Amalgamated Clothin G

You brothers who never attend
union meetings, only when you
want more money, ask yourself
these questions:
Why can't l attend one union
meeting a month?
Why do l vote union officers
in office and then never attend q
meeting, to see how things are
running?
Why do l expect my union tc
see to it that l get every break
it possibly can get for me, ever
though l don't attend meetings
to help keep UP their morale?
l wonder how my officers fee
when l can get by and not attend
any meetings? Let me see-l
pay 3712 cents per week union
dues, and so do my union officers
that l helped to elect, and they
don't get one cent for their time
Is he a sucker, or am l heel?
Birthday congratulations are
in order for Bill O'Brien. The
bows presented him with a pack
of half cigarettes. Seems like
Bill smokes his cigarettes half
way and puts it out for the next
time. We didn't know Bill was a
Scotchman!
The girls should be doing
pretty good now since Russ Ea-
ton is back from his vacation.
After serving his apprentice

m e e ting. We weren't sure
whether he had a T shirt on or
his pajama tops.
The Automatic bowling team
in Dept. 36 is trying to get new
shirts. All donations will be
greatly appreciated.
After being Leader in Dept. sc
for a month, Rufus Cults will be
glad to be back on his Grinderl
Jitterbug Johnny Fey is in the
height of his glory now. He has
five. tools on his machine cutting
at the same time!
It's been reported that Gus
Zimmerman is getting by with
out taking a vacation. Could it
be that he mows Louie Books
grass? Or is he baby sitting?

7 Toledo Stamping ,
Notes
By Barbara KoehIer

Take off your hats to Glen
Holme for the swell job he did
in arranging our picnic. Every
body had a good time. Art Klug
was master of ceremonies. And
Casper Lewandowski did his
stuff with the stuff behind the
the bar.
Mr.. Roderick was on the beam
at judging the races and other
contests.
We were glad to have Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawson Dean with us at
the picnic.
And did Mr.. Schneider have
all the girls hearts fluttering
again!
Who was in the spotlight the
most, Grandma Pregizer or the
new baby?
Mary Hassen has been selected
our most popular girl.
More picnic notes: The Misc.
girls won the soft ball game
defeating the Press dept.
The Press girls got revenge,
however, winning the tug-o-war
from the Misc. girls. :.
According to the paper one Of
our old palsie walsie has brand
new baby. Congratulations to
Alice Mendon.

Don't Kill The Goose That Lays
The Golden Egg

When fifty hours per week
Was the Auto Workers bit,
No extra dough for overtime
No way to complain but to quit,
And the c. l. 0. came forward
With forty hours for all
And time and half for overtime
Sundays double time per call,
Who was there in the ranks of Labor
Raised the feeblest voice,
'Gainst shorter hours and better pay
1t their unanimous choice.
Did you hear person say then,
"To He'll with the c. l. o.
/ want less pay and longer hours
Time and one half is too much dough-
Nor do you hear single one say,
81 don't want to accept the pay,
That ne union got me for Memorial, Independ
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years day
When the bosses 'rule of favorites'
Was the only rule we had,
And your job worth two cents
If you made the foreman mad
Or when you couldn't hit the pace
And you tired and sore,
They ushered in young recruit,
And showed you out the door,
And the Union said Seniority"
Would be the farest way
And established rights that no Boss
Can take away today,
Whose voice cried out 'lay Off
Seniority is not right
Whose voice condemned the c. /. 0.
For fighting for this right
And so again when the c. I. o.
Wins the battle for the aged
And pensions that adequate
Thruout the land paid.
When unemployed paid enough
To keep them all from want,
And public works great enough
To give the fit job,
I still maintain that you won't find
A man to turn his back
And say give back my pension,
Or my unemployed wage take back"
81 don't believe in these things
Because the c. /. o.
Was the Union that fought for them,
So please take back the dough-"
What manner of men these
Who take all they get,
From the efforts of the c. l. o.
Yet feel they debt?
They call the Union radical
And heap upon it blame.
Repeating every story,
That furnishes its name
No is there more ignorant
Than one who scorns his friends
Or bites the hand that's feeding him
And hurts him to the end.
If you would fight the c. l. o.
Or blacken its fair name,
Give back the rights it gained for you
If it is all the same.
