Annex
By GEN MEILINK

Greetings once more fro m
Auxiliary No. 20. Sorry we don't
have too much news from our
own Aux. this time, but we had
"a tremendous amount of sick
ness in our CUP this past
month, and therefore were un-
able to hold our planned pro-
gram for our regular education
al meeting.
For our second meeting of the
month, we got our scrap books
started, and now have that un-
der way. We are making them
up for the children's hospital
wards, etc. I wonder how many
of us stop and think of how
much some of these little things
that take so little time and eff
fort on our part, really mean to
other people.
One of the CIO Auxiliaries,
believe it was in Iowa, took on
a large project which think de-
serves mighty good word. They
put on dances and Bingo parties
at the Soldiers hospital for the
patients. Most all of them were
able to take part in one or the
other type of entertainment.
We have never tried anything
that extensive yet, but a couple
of years ago we went out to the
Lucas County Infirmary and en-
tertained the inmates, and serv-
ed refreshments. Maybe when
warmer weather comes our way,
we will be able to do more, as
our attendance has Jagged this
winter, something fierce.

Most of the accident death toll
is made up of one or two-death
accidents, the National Safety
Council says. Only three catas-
trophies in 1850 caused m o r e
than SO deaths each - the Nov
ember wind and snow storm in
the Northeastern states the col
lision of two suburban trains in
New York, and the crash of a
air transport plane
into Lake Michiagn.

of $323.5O, and we still hear
some of the boys are kicking
that they would rather have had
the raise instead Of this In
surance!
We also have a report from
Walter Kape1a while he was OFF
sick, his policy paid $591.43 in
benefits.
We never knew you had a
part time job Ryan It
has been reported that at the
U.L.P.C. meeting, held in the
Secor Hotel, James was seen
back of the bar handing a
drink !. Water ???, over
the bar to Henry Ainsworth.
I am told Porky was bowl
ing on all fours, last week. This
new style of bowling seems
rather rough on the hands.
Forgetting his wedding ami

despondent he tried to commit
suicide by running his head into
a runner box, hanging on a
crane-Congratulations on your
many years of married life, Bill,

In the northwest corner of the
shop, we have a green COTTAGE
for inspection, built by Carl
Woeller and his colleague, Ar
and Koons. How about one
five rooms with running water
but outside of the shop.
Just imagine the surprized
look on Bill Dreher's face when
the pillow he dreamed about
was not really being stolen but
he was actually pulling his wife'sl
pillow from under her which,

don't seem to bother the fisher
men too much. Several of the
boys have reported catches of
Bullheads and Catfish.
While we are on Sports, the
Golf League Committee is ready
to organize their Golf Teams. If
any of you are interested in
playing golf, turn your name in
to the Unit Chairman Zig Lapin-
ski or to ollie Galen in the
Stock Room. j
Well, well, Wanda Walker was
high with a single 165. The
Bowlerettes are still high. Again
Pete Bronkie has the highest
average of 180. The most pins
over average goes to Guy Barile
of IS. Team No. A is in first
place.
If anybody is interested in
photography, they have a fine
Camera Club at Local IL and
you are welcome to join.
On our sick list are Phyllis
Napieralski, Margaret Gerth,
Stella ook, Mildred DeLye, and
Luette kitty Bundy. And we
hope to see you all back among
us soon.
Back from sick leaves are
May Rein, S eleta Stahl, Bea
Bonnough, Della Gray, Helen
Langhoff and Elizabeth Tirrith.
Myrtle Greenwel and Pearl
Niece were called out of town
last week because of the death
of their brother. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to his
family.
We are sorry to hear that Mel
vim Thoman, from the Pun ch
Press Dept, lost part of his fin
ger. Don't you know that those
presses are larger than you are
Mel?
A little h u m or around the
shop, Lee DeGood brought in an
apple pie the OF her day and
shared it. While we were enjoy
ing the pie in walks Bill Osen-
baugh and Immediately started
to drool all over the place. We
gave him a small piece and he
got so excited he forgot his
change that he put on the table
while reaching for the pie.
We hear that Charley Nye is
washing his hair with Duz. He
overheard someone say that Duz
does everything so he is trying
to get some of his hair back.
Big Mike S. learned lesson
while taking a nap Sunday after
a lusty meal Big Mike lay on
the couch enjoying snooze with
his mouh open and his little girl
dropped a section of jig saw
p uzzle in his mouth. Moral:
Keep your m u h shut while
sleeping.
Double the motion "Pappy"
Shape had a disagreement with
Joe Wa Wa about who is to be
sucker of the week. The boys
on the m o tor line think that
Pappy and Joe should c0mpro-
mise and admit that they both
ought to share the honor and
pay off their cigar bets.
Big Steve Siminiak looks like
he has lost his best friend. Come
to think of it, he has. We mean
his fighting buddy, little Davey
Byrnes. He has finally been
out of the Punch
Press Dept.
We hear that Vern Miller
started a chicken farm with '23
chicks and 2 ducks. After put
ting them on a saw dust bed for
a few days he noticed the saw
dust disappearing and the chicks
laying on their backs with Their
feet up in the air. Maybe they
were trying to lay wooden eggs
for Vern SO he could use them
as bObbers when he goes fish
ing. AT least they died trying,
cause he has only 8 chicks and /

National Supply Unit NeDs
BY Uncle Remus and The Colonel

Imunity until you feel disgraced
and insulted on being recognized
as an employee? Why does the
National advertise long service
and seniority through the "25
Year Club" then violates SEMI
ority signed under contract?
What was the purpose of our
"Brass Hats in forcing strike
on us last summer? In nearly.
30 bargaining meetings our
"Brass" would not bargain in
good faith, forcing our most con-
servative workers to vote for
strike. Here is the reasons: Our
Pittsburgh management appears
to care nothing if this plant is
ruled after the pattern of Mos
cow. Herb Grounds does not ar
bitrate or attempt fair play. He
simply says NO like Vishinsky
of Russia. Slicker Sullivan and
his gang of politicians act SINH
lar to the Moscow Politboro or
at least it has that appearance.
In the assembly a system of
peonage is already established.
You bid and qualify on job,
yet the foreman can remove and
Danish you at will. The little
commissar can overrule the con-
tract signed by and with the Ma
tional.
George Yeager w ishes to
thank the Doeh1er Die Casting
Co. for the use of their club
rooms for his daughters we'd

Helen Joyce, is being married to
Ernest Paul Papke at the As
bury M. E. Church on April %.
Letters to the editor" We
would like to have Uncle Remus
turn, this column over to our
delegates to the Convention SO
that they could explain why
they pulled Macarthur and
voted their way instead of the
way they were instructed by the
body. How about it boys?
We will bet that the girls in
the Local IL dues office are in
for a workout on the new dues
set up, refunding and recollect-
ing on paid up membership.
Cheer up girls, Uncle Remus
and The Colonel will help you.
The window situation in Dept.
So is quite a problem. It's one
thing you just can't win on, all
you can do is to toss coin to
open or shut them, then listen
to the beefs.
Herb Grounds evidently has
as low an opinion of Doctors as
some people have of him. Herb
stated that he didn't believe or
accept a Doctors certificate as
being necessarily true.
Buzz Price is now in the cele-
business. If you have a
birthday, wedding or any other
anniversary, contact Buzz. For
details see Inspector X my
Grove in Dept. 81.
We wish to extend our SYM
pathy to Loren Carter whose
father passed away recently, al
so to our chairman Roy McGin-
mis- whose brother is now in the
beyond.
It would be a swell gesture on
their part if the National would
send the winning bowling team
to the ABC at st. Paul. A little
advertising and good will would
not hurt. Let's have an answer.
It closes June 10th.
Now that. Spicer has shown

Your Union Journal reporters
both attended the United Labor
Committee meeting in the Secor
Hotel on April 18th and heard
Elmer E. Walker, Vice President
of the Machinist Union (AFL)
and also a member of the Wage
Sterilization Board give an ad-
dress. 1t seems as though the
only thing that was to be actual
ly frozen was wages and let all
other prices find their own level
in the stratosphere. Prices are
frozen at the retail but not at
the wholesale level, so it works
this way: You take the percent
age of profit on any item at a
given date, then apply this per-
centage of profit to the inflated
wholesale price at this time.
This way all you actually have
is a guaranteed extra profit for
business. When. the daily news
papers mention the walkout of
L a b or members of the Wage
Stabilization Board they always
say that the walkout was caused
by their refusal to accept the
1O% pay formula. Actually this
wa1kout of labor was simply be-
cause wages were frozen but not
prices and of course not profits,
those two are sacred. But how
can you freeze one without the
other? Maybe Mike Disable will
have an answer to that one. He
seems to be interested only in
he ping the Merchants and
Manufacturers and not the wage
earners.
Specifically, after Mike let
prices soar to undreamed of
heights, he then appoints a Fair
Price Sterilization Board COM
pored of Presidents, Vice Presi-
d. , and Sales Managers Of the
various Corporations to stabilize
their own prices and on their
own terms. He says prices are
now at their peak and will be
frozen there, we just won't eat

thought that he had really found
something when he picked up
what appeared to be a diamond
ear ring from the street. How
ever, it seems as though when
Herb took the diamond to a
jewe1er for check on its value,
he removed the setting and
found the letters LOF on the
back Of the stone. What now
Herb, are you going into the
glass business?
It seems as though the only
way a National Supply employe
Is able to make enough to live
on now is to get another job
(part time) somewhere else.
This company don't even pay an
existing wage at today's prices
and that is a long way from a
living wage.
Louie Book (blue coated, of
urse) was surrounded by
cards and congratulations on his
(39th?) birthday April Goth but
he is still crying because he did
not get a card from Frank Herr
and Harold Jones. What's the
matter with you boys letting
Louie down or was it a case of
the cards not being on asbestos
paper?
Red McVicker will not be 60
ing to the Kentucky Derby this
year. His horse stepped on his
foot. When do you expect to
enter your three year olds, Red?
We are waiting.
Most of those Committees in
Washington are Add Hook, or in
other words, just one purpose
committees, that is to keep their
pockets filled.

With all the talk about tele-
vision, most people here don't
realize that it was only SIS years
ago exactly that the first motion
picture was shown to a group of
people. 1t was right here too,
on the spot where Mays store
now stands, to be exact. There at
the Roster and Bal theatre in the
spring of 1896, Thomas A. Eds
on, the inventor held the first
public showing of a silent moving
picture. Prior to that time, the
Kinescope, a crude protector, al
lowed only n person to view
a picture at a time. Contrary to
popular impression, the first talk
ing pictures were not shown in
1927 but in 1918 - at this same
New York theater where film was
synchronized with monograph re-
cords on cylinders.
