Philip Morris
AnnouneesNew
Insurance Plan

Philip Morris & Co. today
March 7, 1949 announced a new
plan under which the Company
will bear all costs for Group
Insurance, disqualification n d
Retirement Income for all en-
ployees. ~
A total of 5000 employees in
Louisville, KY, Richmond, Va,
New York City and in the sales
organization throughou o u t the
country will share in the bene-
fits.
Officials of the Company re-
gard the plan as one of the most
progressive in the tobacco bust
ness and one o6 the most COM
prehenSive in industry at large.
Initial reaction from repre-
sentatives of Richmond Locals
203 and 209 of the Tobacco
International u n on,
American Federation of Labor
Affiliates, indicates that union
will regard this plan
as another example of the team
work spirit at Philip Morris.
These unions recently informed
the Philip Morris management
that they were pleased with ''the
fine spirit which seems to be in
creasing in good relationship
and understanding between the
Company and the Union"

.UE Demands
Wage Boost
Not Fooled BY
Sc Hike In Sept.

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
General Electric Co., largest ell
tctrical producer in the country,
made known last week that it
would oppose demands by the
United Electrical, Radio & Ma
chine Workers-CIO for a fourth
round wage increase.
Lemuel r. Boulware, employe
relations director for the corpor-
alton, said that GE could not
justify wage increase at this
time.
"The company" he said, is
more thoroughly convinced than
ever that wage increases would
have a bad effect on the welfare
of all workers and the whole
economy.
The Electrical Workers, ira
ditional pattern settlers for the
industry, also are demanding an
improved welfare and pension
plan and a shorter work-Week.
The demands were prepared
here at meeting of the UE con-
ference board, composed of To-
cal leaders representing over
workers.
Members of our union were
not fooled by the illusory &c
wage increases of lastaSeptem-
ber," when wages were adjusted
because the living g-cost index had
risen, said Assistant Director t.
A. Johnstone of the UAW GIN
Dept. eve are not now deceived
as to the illusory &c wage cut
next month. The escalator clause
has served simply to hold
our purchasing power spproxi-
nately constant since the agree
nent of May 20, 1946."

From Colonel" Tarver of
Dept E, 1st shift:
Frank Grochowski made his
friends and co-workers happy
recently when he returned to
his job in Dept. E following his
recovery from a session with a
strep throat. Frank proved to be
too tough for the Japs when he
was in the u. S. Navy, so little
thing like strep sore thoat is a
decidedly minor engagement to
him.
1t seems particularly appropri-
ate to point out the fact that it
seems good to see the smiling
face of Helen Tober, who has
recently returned to work fol-
lowing her recovery from an
operation. In case you don t
now, this Helen is a helpful deI
corative, auxiliary clerk in the
Credit Union office. Incidently
1t appears that Henry Fearing
has an almost uncanny instinct
in selecting competent attractive
office assistants, especially In
the feminine category.
Paul Melms was the gleeful
recipient of q number of beauti-
full gifts in a shower for his
week-old baby girl. This baby
shower was sponsored by the
Stud-line operators and included
among other things a baby
stroller, a pair of anklets and a
blue dress. Paul being far
sighted father had provided an
ample supply of diapers. The
presentation of these lovely gifts
was complete surprise to Paul
and his wife, Claudio.
Josephine Newman, a silli-
ment operator in Dept. E is
eagerly awaiting the arrival of
Sunday, March 9Th. The reason
is simple but important to her
for 1t is her birthday. She plans
to have a party at home in rec
ognition, of this happy occasion.
Many happy returns of the day,
Josephine.
It looks natural to see Frank
Fialkowski, of Eng. Insp., back
at work after an absence or
seven weeks. Franks doctor
perfor m d an operation on
Franks right foot which was
necessitated by an attack of
arthritius. That is the official
version, but those who know
warned that some day he was
this Frank intimately, know
that he has been frequently
going to have fallen arches be-
cause the "bull' he liked to Jug
gle was too heavy for him. Good
luck, Frank.
Happy birthday to Helen Zell-
ing, whose birthday is Sunday
March 9Th. Were we surprised
when we saw that beautiful cake
which Helen brought in to work
with her Friday. But, of course,
that was the revealing evidence
that she anticipated having hes
friends share her happiness in
celebrating the occasion in adj
vance.
From Dept. E, 3rd Shift:
Birthday greetings are in or
der for the following third shift

.THE FELLOWS are wondering
l. when you are going to buy
a paper, instead of reading
somebody elses. They also say
that when you get through read

left. Come now o. G., give the
boys a break and buy one.
The battle of the sexes was
held last week in Dept. IA, be-
tween Violet Vykopal and Mil
dred Schlachter. What fight,
the cause being over a little
fresh air, which never hurt any
body. OF course the winner be-
ing none other than Violet.
Well another old timer of the
shop celebrated his 63rd BIRTH
day last week. We doubt wheth-
er he understood the words to
the music that was played for
him. OF course we mean none
other than Art (Frenchy) Pro-
vencher, of the punch press
department.
Anybody in need of Duke
orchestra or conductor contact
(Big) Al Jankowski. His band
includes all the brass that can
be found.

somebody always does. Oh well,
we tried to make the grade.

what not, but they can't COM

than Les. Slow up Les or some
day you might run out of gas,
then where viii you be.
Did you read that notice in

Who in the service repair
went to fill out his income tax
with a dependent list of SO de-
pendents. None other than our
little Joey. Of course he tried to

Who was the female secretary
that helped out at the union

a male that helped. None other
than H. B.
