Supply Unit Neavs
BY DEAK and DOCK

| Inc Dig ruInOr last week Was
chow silly the committee is to
ask fors strike vote at this
time). Of course these rumors
/ came from Company stoodges
/ for Company purposes. We can
all see that business is bad, Cor
that's what the Company would
like to have us think these ru-
mors were cleared up at Sun
days meeting, (twas interesting
/ too) and are now left with the
thought, the Company has shut
down the shop to almost a stand
still because of contract negotia-
ton. 1t was brought out in this
meeting that Bob Walk said, 1--WE
were nuts to ask the Company
to sign the contract we presented
! to them" Now look Robert that's
no way to talk, when the Com
pany has repeatedly asked for
harmony, why not settle down to
negotiations, you yourself said
you didn't want any of the fell
lows in the shop to lose any
wages. Or was that when you
were getting all the profits.
The boys in Dept. 181 still
thinks that supervision is push
ing them around, can't some
thing be done about this?
The bowling league got of to
very good start, with 30 bowl
ers on Is allies at H. & H. after
counting 49 of them from the Of
flee and foreman it's easy to un-
derstand why Cecil Shufelt
bowls with four foremeh.
We hear the night supervision
hustled around the shop, gath
cred up all the lose bulletins, the
stewards passed out, and gave
them to Slicker Sullivan who in
turn gave them to Art Wise, Art
knowing just what to do gave
them to the day stewards for a
reshuffle.
Please Mr.. Volk: Will you put
fence around my Inspection
Department so l won't have such
a rough time keeping the
sweeper out!
Signed j. Branden. /

Best of luck to Pappy Sellick

Sure bet Gray Leggett of De-
partment 53 on September 9th,
Gray Leggett asked Herman
Harget of Dept. SO if he wanted
a set up job and he told him no.
On Monday, Sept. IL, the Com
pany put up a bid for set-up
man. Monday morning Gray bet
Kenny Welty $500 that Herman
would not bid and Kenny took
the bet. Herman did not bid. 4
Gray knew 4 days in advance of
the bet that Herman wouldn't
bid. Brother" and we call this
guy a foreman.
