We hope these articles are
appreciative and they are taken
for their value. 1t is something
that in my mind a lot of people
do not understand and hope that
some day you wake up before
it is to late.
The first thing l would like to
discuss with you this week is,
what is a committee? A commit
tee in my opinion is group of
people elected by the majority
of the people to represent them
at a bargaining table, for the
sole purpose of arriving at some
sane agreement with out the use
of force. Of course this commit
tee is only as strong as you
make them, by that we mean
backing them up till the end. OF
course it takes team work and
that is what you must have if
you expect to go any where.
What are the manufactures try.
ing to do this day and age?
They are trying their darndest
to get the people to fight among
them self, are we the kind to
let this happen? Not by a jug
full.
The so called big shots are no
more then you are, we're all
human but they sure would like
to make you think your some
thing they walk on. How can
this be remedied? By sticking
together and fighting not by
fists, or by ugly rumores but by
standing side by side with your
fellow worker no matter how
much you hate him, hatred new
er won anybody anything.
Think of the cooperation our
boys had in service, if it wasn't
for that where would you be to-
day, think it over and you be
the Judge. Of cource this also
applies to the committee because
they should help the people and
not hold office just to keep
working. Some of your most
fighting committee was the ones
who were low in seniority but
the older ones thought they
wanted to hold a job just so
they would not be layed off,
how very untrue this Is. Why
should an older person in Sc
niority worry about this.
Come now people open your
eyes and analyze this.
Now we come to another main
issue of the. day, namely the
pension. OF course this article
will be printed too late for the
meeting that was held at the
Civic auditorium, but / sure
hope the ones that are the most
confused about the pension at
tend this meeting. If you didn't
it was only for one good reason
you just didn't care, let the 9TH
err person do the work and you
reap the harvest. We have one
plant, Plaskon, fighting bat
tie for you. Can you in your own
mind think or say if it was you
that was pounding the brick?
Yes, and | won't be far off
saying this, you would want
help from the people that were
still working, so why not help
the ones that are now asking
you that same question. Sure it
hurts, but did you ever stop to
think when they ask for a dona-
ton to the Red Cross, Commun-
ity chest, or any other cause
how glad you were to give We
are not saying your shouldn't
give to these worthy causes, but
we have a worthy cause on our
hands now, so lets dig down
deep in our jeens and over flow
the bean pot.
In the long run ii will be to
your benefit, so won't you give
now so you can reap the harvest
latter. Oh! / could go on and
on for days trying to tell you
the advantages you will gain,
but I think you are intelligent
enough to realize this. So in
closeing may ! ask you favor
When that can is passed drop in
a buck, for the people at Plask-
