THE departure of Bill Eyler
was surprise to the fellows
in the shop, although it was ex-
pected, but not quite so soon.
Could it be that he stopped on
some Peugeut oil?
It's understood that Sullivan
has a new brew, called gaIloping
oil and after trying it on one of
the foreman he was seen leaving
the office in leaps and bounds,
(leaps six feet at q tirne), land
bound to make good)
Clare Sterling foreman of
Dept. 181 went home sick last
week and It's said his idea, no
man has the right to get sick.
He done his share of gripping

maybe Harley johnson will be
more reasonable then you.
A new weekly record of 1900
joints were turned out in Dept.
So. Some time ago Bill Eyler
passed out cigars for a weekly
record of 2400 joints, this GER
-tainly is quite lift for the Com
pany. What did the men of that
Dept. get? Just a lots of hard
work but one fellow got two
cigars.
The contract committee, head
ed by George Yeager, started
work on a new proposal. Sug-
gestions should be turned in to

An election committee will be

your wife.

day for Bill Manders, just past
21, aye, Bill?
Clarance Fisher claims to be
the father of the E 700 pump
and the boys in Dept. 54 think
he's worked on it long enough to
be grand-daddy.
Who is it that stands at his
machine with his mouth open
catching steel chips? He doesn't t
look underfed, so he must be

new angle on angleworms, prom
Using a much bigger and better
worm with a built-in feature, the
new worm being named the
BoaCorba, will not only hunt a
good fishing place but will

You, no doubt have read
about the co-op's movement of
Local II in the Journal. At the
last meeting, George Pund,
Wesley Harris, and Roy Nc
Ginnis were named as a commit
tee to advance this movement in
our shop. This should be of in
terest to all members. May we
look forward for your support?
Appreciate your help and hope
you will continue to assist me in
the future, as you have in the
past. Thanks, Deak g. Dock.

Next Step of LMC
The LMCs next step is to

just what can be accomplished

tions that indicate an impact on
employment.
LMC members realized the
committee could serve as a
clearing house of information
and assist in working out spe-
cific problems between indivi-
dual companies and unions. The
feeling is general that if jobs
can be saved in existing plants,
or new jobs added, the entire

action.

TIL Didn't
Reduce Strikes

WASHINTON (LPA) - The
claim that the Taft-Hartley law
reduced strikes was refuted last
week when the Bureau of Labor
Statistics published its strike
figures for 1948, and compared
them with previous years. The
full Taft-Hartley year of 1948
shows less than 8% fewer strikes
than the year 1947 when TIL
was law for four months. Both
years saw more strikes than took
place under the Wagner act be-
fore the war, and fewer than in
the reconversion years when
economics --,not politics - shot
strike figures upward.
