the beer booth and New
Diehl."
Les Pollard and another guy,
too modest to have his name
mentioned, cleaned up all comers
on the horseshoe courts.
The amazing thing was that
anyone thought that Bob Smith
needed a public address system.
At that Bob Smith handled his
assignment like a professional
and it grieves us to admit it.

Harold Hoover left us a note
saying: II want to thank every

ski was elected to the hiring com.
mittee. Your reporter was elected
to fill the position vacated by the
resignation of Robert Burkart al

Let's hope that the meetings
in the future are as well at

son in the world why they
shouldn't be. It's a tough job
getting up early Sunday morn

we maintain a strong union at

Stanley Mitchell former chief

hgossip column comes up
through the courtesy of the four
winds. AS we hear it we print it.
My, what turnout at the
Labor Day parade, with the smil-
ing faces accompanied by the
float. 1t was very spectacular
sight, and everybody had fun, so
aext year let's have better at
s@endance.
Did you notice the float with
the two devils on it? We were
wondering which one was our
own little Elva Cochran. 1t re-
minded us so much of the devil
try she can pull.
The girls of Dept. IA wonder
if it's one hour every six minutes
or six minutes every hour. Elva,
tell them what you were doing.
The fog of last week seemed
so realistic to big AL and Joe
that it reminded them of the
time they went to a Confer
ence at Cedar Point. You ask
them about it, and then try to
top it.
What a cleanup occurred at
the shop last week for the branch
Changers. The only thing they
forgot was to clean up certain
spots. You know where we mean.
The S64 question of the week
is in the machine shop, "Who
dood it?" Dood it, did it, or what,
it was done. No explanation.
1t seems we have a ghost
working nights. Work was be-
ing done on the line with no
account of it being turned in.
We wonder who the person is.
My, what a nice shiny car you
have, Ollie c., but it doesn't do
you any good stored in the ga
rage; or doesn't your wife trust
you?
Poor John Green. The person
who likes to dish out ribbings
can't take them in return. Why
not be a sport for a change?
CSWho paid buck to march in
Roe Labor Day parade? Nobody
but your news hound, Herm Bick.
Why? Ask Carl Wells.
Well, it's that time of the
year when Johnny KOnwinski
and Laura KOnwinski have a
double celebNtiOn. Laura's
birthday is Sept. "a and their
wedding anniversary is Sept.
FL. Congratulations to both of
you.
Liz Hoot of Dept 10 sure felt
proud Monday because over the
weekend, on a fishing trip, she
bagged a 5 5-pound pickerel. The
best part was, she was the only
woman in the party. The rest
were men.
I'm going to buy paper doll
that can call my own," is Bob
Janneresh's theme song. He was
SEEN playing with paper dolls the
other day. My, my, such goings
on.
Don Wright has an enlarged
chest expansion since last
week. He has become the proud
father of baby boy. Thanks
for the cigars, Don.
The way the talk is runningg
the night shift ball team beat the
day shift. It's about time they
did some good. Hope you fellows
can take joke.
Well, it seems that another
month will slip by before our
contract is settled. Why? The
company thinks more of the peo-
pie that sell the sweeper than of
the workers that make them. If
it wasn't for the worker that
II res them, how could they sell
I'D Il? SO figure it out for your
self.
What's this we hear, that top
management has refused Frank,
the elevator operator, his we'll
deserved and long-overdue vaca-
ton. 1t seems he's an indispen-
sable man and they'd have diff
Guilty replacing him.

A certain gentleman on the
second shift, seems to have an
abundance of flowers. He sup
plies the nurse, in the hospital,
with a fresh bunch of flowers
each week. Keep it up friend, it
does create a sweet fragrance in
the hospital. What do you know
about it, Jim Vinson?
There is a movement on foot
among some of the gap-setter on
the second shift, Dept. D, to have
all the men contribute their old
shoes to the company, to provide
material with which to make
gaskets for the machines with

Packard
Jet>Jests

WELL FOLKS lend me your
W ears for a few moments
while l unload my chest. II
seems we, the workers at Pack
ard" are going to have a first
rate picnic Sunday in spite of the
lack of cooperation from the
Army Air Force and Packard
Management. 1t seems queer that
outfits as big as the Army and
Packard Motor Car Co. can't af-
ford few bucks for the welfare
and recreation of their employees,
especially when companies a lot
smaller, and with lot less dough
to work on, can come through for
their people for occasions like
this. This should prove to the
Individual just how much our
Welfare and recreational needs
mean to the top management,
or is this so-called company
policy just a sly way of en-
forcing a part of the Taft-Hart-
ley Law? Il wonder).
Well, so much for that, let's
get on the band wagon and be
at Ottawa Park Sunday at
100 PM. Sept. 10Th, 1948,
take our hair down and really
have ourselves a time.
The Committee in charge of
this picnic have arranged
fine program. We have plenty
of refreshments for the kid
dies, swell prizes for the games,
some mighty fine door prizes
and above all some ball games
scheduled that should be dill
lies. Il hope) So come one,
come all, bring your friends
and your basket lunch and let's
show the Army and Packard
management that we can put
this over without their help.
The little lady to be nice to
this week is Marge Christensen.
(She is going to distribute re-
freshment tickets at the picnic)
Our Vice-Chairman Carroll
Grisham reports that on his last
trip up north, fishing was
so good that when he had to

furnished a certain foreman so
he can practice cutting steel at
home and stay out of our crib.

the rights to represent the man
to cut all steel in this

selves understood this time.

York Stoppages
In July Aboue
Last Year

WASHINGTON, D. Cap
proximately 335 new work
stoppages began in July, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S.
Department of Labor reported
here. This represented slight
inceaSe over the preceding
month and, also, over July a
year ago when 315 new labor
management disputes were rec
orded.
Workers involved in stoppages
beginning in July totaled 225,-
900 as against 10000 in June.
This increase over the month
was due to a relatively brief
stoppage involving bituminous
coal miners employed in the
captive mines operated by
steel companies and about an
equal number of workers in
commercial mines, affecting
total of approximately $4,000
IlllilGlS.
Idleness at plants or establish
ments directly-affected by work
stoppages also rose slightly,
totaling 100000 man-days for
July as compared with an esti-
mated 100000 man-days in
June. A year ago, in July 1947,
approximately 100000 man
days were lost as a result of
labor management controvers-
les.
Including disputes which con-
tinued into July from earlier
months, a total of 525 stoppages
approximately 100000
were in process during
some part of the month.
