HO44N4O1A ~ " - - 49,
At its 10th annual confer
ence the National Conference
of Union Labor Legionnaires
decided for the first time to
admit non-Legion veterans into
its ranks. The Conference be-
lieves that by thus broading its
base it will be better able to
combat the anti-labor propa-
ganda and activities of all the
reactionaries in veterans organ
izations.
It's new name is the National
Conference of Union Labor
Veterans. One of the first acti-
vities of the reorganized outfit
will be mobilizing veterans to
vote against Taft-Hartleyites in
the November elections.
Vets Make Pledge
Meanwhile, tn e American
Veterans Committee, made up
exclusively of veterans of World
War II, pledged itself to con-
tinued activity against anti-labor
forces.

Record High Average
The average increase from

little south this week just for
a change. Since the weather has
been a little on the warm side
of life for the past week, we
might as we'll make it little
hotter.
We have so many people TAX
ing that big step in the next few
weeks that we shall give them
all the same send off. 1t seems
that Dept. 10 hits the jackpot
with five different steps. Wal
lice Flick's date is June 26, Bob
Harmeyer who was trying to
keep it a secret but it was left
out, his is July II, Jim VanKirk
also on the same date. Which
one will take it first? Don't
rush it boys, Lillian Eddie has
hers set for June 26. Bill Dut-
ridge also selected July II for
his happy day. You known Bill,
there is still time to say no.
Well folks that's the five and
lets all wish them a big happy
day and many happy years
ahead, And lets not forget the
cigars fellows.
1t seems the girls of dept. 1C
have gone a little gaga over
some fellow by the name of Bill
Strong from Dels Dept. What's
the matter with you fellows OF
Dept. 10? Have you lost your
grips on the girls to let
stranger take over? Where is
that fighting blood or is it just
a passing fancy of the girls?
1t seems that Keith is switch
ing back to his blonds, again,
maybe he got tired of red heads
and mixed colors. Can you

of the new contract were
read and accepted by the
body. Now is the time when
all the people should pull to-
gether inst ead of causing
trouble. The best part of 1t all
was when two pigeon jockeys
were trying to sell each other
their best hOming pigeons.
How about this Lefty and Len?
Any comments on the matter.
