THE ACKLIN Unit Election
l. will be held Sunday, Feb
ruary 13, 1949 at Local II from
II A. M. to 5 P. NJ We have a
large selection of candidates
running for Offices so plan to
vote and use your own judge

your new card or a local union
receipt to be eligible to vote.
Dave Sparagowski of the In
spection Dept. is really looking
nice these days with his hair
done up with Toni. He says its
the new look for men. 1t looks
like he is giving Al Bachli a lit
tie competition for the title Of
Glamour Boy in our shop.
Brother Chinni is on his Sec
ond Toni wave now, we wonder
if he knows that he has no
chance whatsoever of being a
Glamour Boy.
l think all of us know that
the foreman of our shop are
representing management. The
people of our union elect their
own representatives to settle
their pro b e m s concerning
wages, conditions, disputes and
etc, and each employee has the
right to ask for a fair and square
decision based on the contract
and international constitution.
The present committee has al
ways been very fair and lived
up to this pledge.
Brother Gomersall (Gummy)
is getting up a Polish Cowboy
Band. Anyone wishing to play
with the boys, Emusic, of course)
contact the chairman of the
shop.
Estimated turn out at the
election is about 800, everyone
should VOTE! VOTE!
Brother Andy Dodd of the
Heat Treat Dept. claims Irish
does not pay off on the bets,
that's the reason Andy has to
collect empty pop bottles to get
coffee money. Wow, is Irish hot,
Just like Andy's ovens. We all
know that Irish pays off on all
his bets, Andy.
