Champion Unit
Sparklets

and the Company have agreed
on that, but, since last Tuesday,
May 18th, as far as the Union
is concerned, only the Union is
living up to this agreement.
On tuesday, May 18th,
Brother Joe p. Laszczak and
Brother John J. Peller, Presl-
dent and Chairman of the Union
at the Champion plant in De-
troit, Mich, paid a visit to our
plant and were admitted by the
Guard, 1.-The same as anyone else
but they were stopped by the
Company and were told that
they could not stay in the plant
or come up to the Union Office.
Now let us remind you that
both plants are owned and
operated by the same man, or
should l say stockholders? Now
we wish to let the membership
know that part of the Commit
tee did meet with these two
Union Officers, of the Detroit
Champion plant, and compared
contracts. Now we understand
why the Company did not want
these two officers in the plant.
So, as far as our Committee is
concerned, when contract time
arrives all three Champion plant
contracts will be compared. r. ,.
Do not forget this incident when
we have our Union Security
Election.
May goth, Don Mothershead,
Gap-setter Dept. D End shift,
celebrated his 18th wedding an
niversary. Strangely enough his
wife still puts up" with him.
A certain feminine worker in
Dept. D End shift, goes up and
down the aisles, on her duties,
exhaling a most pungent per-
fume. What is it, Fannie? Eve
ming in Perrysburg"?
A certain Committee man on
the End shift states that he is
getting tired of keeping Bob
Smith, Dept. E, End shift, in
supplies. Matches and cigars
were fairly easy but cigarettes
and flares are too much.
He's on the prowl again. It's
that ever hungry man II m
Missler tearing the boys lunches
apart. Listen, Helen, maybe you
don't feed that boy enough. Or
maybe, he is just glutton for
eating. Glutton or no glutton'
Herm, we are watching those
lunches from now on you can
bet. We sure don't want to see
you over eating and getting too
plump. Your frame will not
stand it. Let us know what is
going to be in your lunches next
week Herm Ole Boy! We feel a
good hunger coming on on the
End shift Dept. e. OK. Hermy?
In the Local No. IL Bowling
League the Champion Sparks
ended in the first spot and the
Champion Champs in the third
place. Nice going girls.
The Local No. IL girls choir
went down to Marion, Ohio, for
the Region 2B Conference last
week and according to the girls
from the Champion Unit they
had a fine time. Some of the
girls from our shop are going
to be missing some nice trips it
they don't join the choir.
What ex-army man in the
Millwright Dept. CID is wearing
his T-5 rank on his fatigues?
What's he doing fellas, trying to
pull his rank on you?
The Sparklet question of the
week is: Who is better known
in the plant as strawberry Joe"
from the Eng. Insp. Dept. 1st
shift? What did you do Joe,
give a TRANSMISSION through your
nose.
Myrtle Helm, Instructress in
Dept. D 1st shift, had beauti-
full exhibit on the walls of Dept.
D last Friday. The picture you
painted was admired by all the
people, Myrtle, so keep up the
good work.
That cole Tar" Harold Ness,
Dept. Eng. 1st shift, got sick
on the recent fishing trip with
the Champion Reef Fishing
Club. What was the cause Har-
old? Were the waters of Lake
Erie rougher than the roads OF
Adams Township or was it the
bacon and eggs?
Some people ask why labor
is asking for an increase IN
wages instead of a cut in prices.
If you recall, the Unions fought
for retaining the o. P. A. but
the big sh o t beat us on that
score so what other course IS
there to take?
Thomas Bohland, Dept. H
Steward 1st shift, saved Dale
Irwin's life the other day when
Dale got caught in the new gate
in the Union Office. Dale's cries
of anguish could be heard for
miles.
