a warning from Mr.. Steward that
the striving for new goals should
go hand-in- -hand with vigorous
activity to retain the gains made
in the past"
"This, indeed, Is a continuing
problem for the NFFE," Mr.. Stew
ard told the more than $50 dele
gates representing 5000 NFFE
members. "It is never safe or
practicable to let down the safe
guards against encroachment on
objectives won through long and
painstaking efforts"
Mr.. Steward referred to at
tempts In Congress during the
last year to reduce Federal en-
ployes' annual and sick leave ben
efits and to limit employees ap-
peals on personnel grievances, as
well to give Federal agencies much
broader powers in firing employees.
Declaring that the national
emergency is grave" Mr.. Stew
ard said it was the conventions
duty to formulate the legiSla-
tive and administrative program
which will be aimed toward in
creasing in every way the eff
cheney Of the Federal service" as
well as to improve and safeguard
present working conditions Of
Government employees.
OF special significance was the
fact that the NFFE chief did
not refer to the question Of Fed
eral pay raises.
The conservative NFFE's major
rival in the Federal employe field,
the AFL American Federation of
Government Employees, at its con-
|vention two weeks ago in Omaha
came out in favor Of a fiat pay
raise to meet increased living
costs.
Mr.. Stewards failure to men
tion any pay demands does not
mean that the question will not
come up before the NFFE this
week. Union officials say there is
a strong likelihood that the union
will ask that another Federal pay
increase be considered by Con-
gress next year if living costs
continue to climb. But they 'de-
clare that it's doubtful that the
NFFE will seek an unqualified
fiat pay raise at this time.
Rival Unions Criticized.
Mr.. Steward told the convention
that the NFFE during its SO years
existence has won a rightful
place of leadership in the Federal
service and will continue to hold
it,"
Referring to rival unions, Mr..
Steward accused them of being
"short-sighted opportunists, fire.
quently failing to see the inevi-
table consequences Of their own
actions. and have therefore be-
come embroiled in inconsistencies.
They have been the constant prey
Of factionalism, unsavory organ
ization politics. and scandal"
Some observers here feel that
the NFFE's excoriation of its rivals
might mean the resumption of
the bitter warfare waged by Fed
eral employe unions during the
1930's.
Gertrude M. McNally, NFFE Sec
retary-treasurer, told the dele
gates that the unions membership
during the past two years in
creased despite the fact that Fed
eral employment decreased during
that period.
Miss McNally said the union s
33d anniversary finds the or
ganization in the strongest posi-
ton in its history"
The convention was told. how
ever. that "the results are only an
indication of our potential in this
direction" Miss Mentally urged
the convention to give its authori-
zation for stepped-up membership
drive In the months ahead.
During the next five days the
convention will consider hundreds
Of resolutions sent in by members
throughout the country.

The DeVilbiss Company of
Toledo is constructing a new

McNally is keeping an eye on
developments there. The plant,
however. is still in the construc-

is stationed at Waynesboro, Pa,
where number of plants are in
the process of organization. This
drive is being done in coopera-

Brother Gosser is working

completed will be the most COM
prehensive study ever made of
the foundry industry.
A similar survey is being con-
Quoted by the Competitive Shop
Dept, with respect to morgan
lied plants. When completed, we
hope to have a comprehensive
report that will include all
plants in the regions and vari-
Gus departments. This survey
should give a pretty fair idea of
the competitive situation, and
the number of plants remaining
unorganized.

The outcome of the Nov. Z
elections certainly has not made
our task any easier. Yet, in eval-
uating the election, we can con-
clude that our efforts brought
out the largest vote ever in an
off-year election. The CLIO,
through its drive to get out the
vote, has awakened a realiZa-
ton on the part of a great many
Americans the value of their
right to vote in free democratic
elections. One thing, the oppo-
sition is also now urging every
one to get out and vote. They
are taking a leaf from our book.
Labor must renew its efforts in
future elections to bring out
even larger vote.
We wish to conclude this let

Christmas And A Happy New
Year.

Hartley law, the UAW won the
second election. The company
is now charging the NLRB with
improper conduct of the cleo
ton, contending that certain in
eligible people were permitted
to vote. We are confident the
company's appeal will be denied
and the UAW will be certified
as the bargaining agent in this
plant. Incidentally, the company
is one of the most vicious, union
hating companies in the land

of the drive that resulted in this
victory.

Department Notes
BY JOSEPH MATTSON

The month of December is
usually the month which we
think of in terms of peace on
earth Goodwill towards all
men" is here again. 1t is only
five years since World War III,
and we are faced with anything
but peace. The scepter of war
appears to be very close indeed,
with hostilities raging in Korea,
and what is even more unfor-
tunate, the obvious danger of
total war in the form of World
War III. If that happens, we
will most certainly be con-
fronted with difficulties such as
our country has never expert
enced in all its history. The
events that lie ahead will affect
all of our lives.
The change-over from peace
time production to armament
production will be felt more and
more in the months that lie
ahead, which will cut down on
the luxuries and the other things
that we take for granted in our
every day lives. Taxation, as we
now know it, is only begin
ming. However, as President
Reuther recently stated, the
price of democracy always came
high and whatever the price, we
will gladly pay the cost rather
than accept enslavement These
war conditions are certainly go
ing to affect our organizational
activities in various ways.
We can report at this time the
winning of the NLRB election at
the Standard Steel Spring Plant,
Roebling, N. j., UAW-176 =
USA-95-No. 1. Brother Horace
Sheffield assisted Region 9 in
this drive.
Brother Sheffield has spent
considerable time on the organi-
rational drive at the Budd Red
Lion plant In Philadelphia. Re-
gion petitioned for an election
at this plant, but found it neces-
sary to file a charge against the
company for interference with
the NLRB. Thus, the proceed
ings are held up indefinitely.
The UAW won the election at
the Farm Tool Plant, Mansfield,
Ohio, by vote of 72 to SO, 1
No vote. This was the second
election held at this plant. An
election held about a year agoI
ended in an appeal by the UAW

Boxers Defeat
Team at Urbana

Marysville's Golden Gloves
Boxing team went to Urbana
Wednesday night for some pre-
tournament matches with the Ur-
bana team. The Marysville boys,
under the direction of Cliff
Brown, did not lose a bout.
In the 139 pound class, Hugh
Cambell took a three-round de-
ciSion from Howard Evans of Ur-
bana This is Hugh's first year of
competition.
Two middle weights, both with
Ia years experience under their
belts, represented Marysville.
Ralph (Red) Grimes won by a
technical Knockout over James
Barrett, of Urbana, while Bob
Patterson won a three round de-
ciSion from Martin Jackson.
These boys show a lot of promise
and should do we'll at Springfield
next week.
John Prinz, fighting in the
light-heaVy class at l69 pounds,
looked good in taking a decision
from Lester Hill, of Urbana, This
is Johns first year of competi-
ton on the Marysville team.
AS Urbana had no heavy
weight, two Marysville boys put
on an exhibition fight with no de-
ciSion.
Loren Grimes, 2l0 pounds,
fought Pete Palmer in this one.
Grimes has one year of COM
petition behind him while Pete,
although older, is on the Golden
Gloves team for the first time.
This group of boys should do
well at Springfield, Feb. 2, as
they represented Marysville we'll
last year with only a minimum
of experience.
