is to protect their property IN

they will guarantee you travel

Chairman George Harrison of

out the life of the 80th Congress

w the air, the football seasor
is in full swing, now comes th'
time of the week for all of yol
hard workers to take time ou
to read what the news reportei
has to say. AS he hears it anc
mot what he hears, but as it /.
told to him.
Well this person. we cal
Charles Nye, sure must like tt
hear himself talk. Now he tell
us of being at the ball game
last Saturday. But to his dis
appointment he was seen on the
streets of Toledo at differen
times. Come now Nye, what dC
you think that car of yours is
an airplane?
Who is hiding behind what;
Nobody but Doc and jack be-
hind the coke machine in De.
Ipartment IA. But to their sur.
prise everybody rang their own
time cards. Better luck mex
time boys. .2S
Boy, the person that was tolc
off in just so many words ir

very warm face, and it WASH
the complexion, because 1t was
red with madness. Come now
Stella, leave the union business
to the one that has the author
ity to perform it, and be telling
what to do.
Who has more energy than
Don Mcdonald? Last week he
had more pep than a dozen per.
sons. That's more pep thar
we've saw in him in all the
years he has worked. No doubt
he has been eating his wheaties
lately.
Money means nothing to &
certain person, but when il
comes to a little raise, in the
amount of dollar and a few
cents, boy does he holler. What
we mean by money meaning
nothing to him, refers to the
donation to the Republican cam.
paign. Now if such donations
are a benefit, then a little raise
to the workers would be o1
more Importance, don't you
think so?
What happened to Bill and
Dick the other day, should
never happen to nobody else
They were pinned against the
wall by a few people of Depart
ment 10. Their only means OF
escape was to squeeze their way
to the union desk which they
did. Don't let the women get
the best of you fellows.
Why the people of the shop
wouldn't cooperate last week is
more then we can tell. Just be-
cause they are money hungry
can only be the answer, or was
it because his buddy refused.
We think if the people were told
to jump off the Cherry Street
bridge they would do it. In the
future let's all pull together
then things will come to a head
a lot faster. After all this con-
tract belongs to all the people
and not for few.
To the people who are won
dering about Mildred Hardwick,
why not ask her personally
Why play hide and seek in the
Journal.
Who does this Charles Nye
think he Is. Last week he re-
fused to go along with the rest
of his fellow workers, says it
would have to be put on paper
and not given verble by the tin
badge wearers. Come now Nye,
when things are running smooth
all well and good but let some
body step on you then see who
wears the tin badges.

And let no one say that the chances in the future

c4meriea, svhere people do not
inquire of a stranger, "What IS
he2" but "What can he do2"
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
r FIRST came upon those words from Franklin's
Il Information for Those Who Would Remove
to America" many years ago in England as boy
of twelve Relatives of mine had settled in Eng
land but Franklin's comment, which saw in
reader from which was studying English, crystal
lized in me the feeling that the trail of opportunity
led farther west - to America
There has never been day in my life since then
that the eternal truth of that statement has not
been borne into me. This is not only information
for those who would remove to America, " but deep
truth to guide everyone born here as well. For
nowhere in the world is the individual the master
of his destiny as he is in America.
