Shame on you boys in the ship

That layoff business in the

We have to elect Tom Burke

The pressure is on for the

When the foremen in the ship

Airway Unit AiringS
BY Herm Bick

THE Autumn leaves falling
4 down, the newshound, cover
ing the ground with news of the
shop. The news as he hears it and
not his own ideas.
Well we have a lot of sand
burr farmers around the shop,
but then they don't have to eat
sand burrs like L. Stahlwood
was doing last week. He thought
it was peanuts, but that is the
first peanut with stickers on it.
We have peeping Tom
around the shop. Too bad he was
not sporting black eye. Next
time Ollie Gosz, knock on the
door to be admitted instead of
trying to go through a keyhole
with your size.
What some foreman won't do
to place some relation on jobs.
The whole thing smells and
everybody kows it. SO why not
treat everybody equal.
Violet Vykopal of Depart
ment Ia, underwent an opera
ton recently, at Mercy hOspi-
tai, the girls of the Department
hope for a speedy recovery.
Some people sure like to stir
up trouble, but in the long run
they lose out Especially in the
recent case of a steward After
all a union representative is not
perfect, we all make mistakes,
but why condemn a man so fast.
Well the girls of Depart
ment 113, finally discovered
some news for the Journal.
What Johnny Konwinski did
TO Laura'S hair shouldn't happen
to a dog, from now on she is
..Iown as Raggie Ann of Dept.
13.
Who are the Gold Dust twins
of Department 13? Rumors are
we also have snow whites, we
mean the gray white type. Boy
if you ever want an assortment
of hair colors, go to Department
IS. Also if any of you bachelors
are looking for a housewife,
lot of prospects can be had in
Department 13.

The best fish STORY comes from
Dept. 13. Connie tell of such .
big fish nobody knew what to do,
bat it only turned out to be the
end of the boat. What sucker
was on the end of the pole. ~
Which end, you figure it out. ~
We wonder if the people of the
mixer line didn't at some time or
other crawl into a mixer and get
stirred up. From one day to the
next, they never know if it's the
mixer line, the sweeper line or
just go home. Of course it's the
Company's fault, not the peoples.
The best alibi yet comes from
Freddy Woods of Department /.
He asks his foreman if he could
take a day off, a week from
Monday to attend his uncle's
fueral. A little corny but maybe
it will stick.
We have a celebrity from
Department 8, who celebrated
his 9th birthday, or Is it, Oct.
9. Happy Birthday MIR. Sob
cZak.
What a rock Al Sharer Is
sporting these days, the gift of
you know who. If not he may
explain. Maybe that's why he
seemed so tired last week,
from carrying that ring.
The people got the surprise of
their life last week, over the con-,
tract they thought was settled,
but to. the surprie of all it ran
into a flaw. Let's hope by snow
fall it will be Strengthened out.
What happened to Department.
10? Some weeks, things happen,
then they drop out of the news.
Let's have som e h mi g every
week.
Have you noticed the modern
that was installed at
the shop. We mean the heating
system. The day it was turned
on water squirted from almost
every pipe, all you needed was a
towel.

Herman Missler will be miss

Hundreds of experiments thru

following week we advertised
the loss in the Union Journal.
A few days later the club was
returned to Skippy's Night Club
on Nebraska Avenue by a per-

We want to thank that annOny-

We hope we may be able to
thank that person some day by
doing him a good turn.

they have seen their sterling
secretary, Robert Albert Martin
hanging to the ledge around his
second story apartment for As
minutes through driving rain
when he found a window locked
that should have been open. II
seems that Bob could get around
to the window but could not get
back. Had it not been for the
help of a kind neighbor with a
ladder, poor Robert might have
been there yet. AS it was, As
minutes was a long time to hang,
wasn't it, Bob?
We are very sorry to hear of
Sarah Noel:S accident in which

Sarah will have to be off for

marriage to a childhood sweet

Why did Earl Manor hesitate
about signing up for hospitaliza-
ton, could there be something
you are keeping from us, Abe?
Either John Smith and Bob

ably have spent thousands upon,

stopped by one of the guards
the other day as he was coming
into work because the guard
though he was some one else.
Maybe Metz should have gone
home and then put in a griev.
ance for the pay because the

Company is very particular as
to who is to see the Executive

tlon time. There was a time
when the factory was closed
down in the afternoon in an at
tempt to get the workers to see
