I 558 The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators On account of the war and the shortage of material, we are advising all officers and members that there may be a shortage of supplies and of emblematic jewelry. (There are no more loose-deaf ledger binders, and none will be available until the end of the emergency, because of lack of the steel used in making up the binders.) We will fill orders as long as we have the supplies, Remember-delivery systems are slowed down; therefore order early. In compliance with the request of the Post Office Department not to overcrowd the mails during the holi day period, the International President and Secretary will nor send out any Christmas and New Year greeting cards for the duration. anitd the' all hlok splendid and had high praie for the Navy, We of No. B 212 cannot fnd words to describie ou r pride in all our boys I service.

Ernet Sinton. 212'S News Hound, E. M. SrnM[iT. Press Secretary, that each group suppress many of its ordinary activities while the internal struggle of economie and political variances continues to strain shift to gain leadership of the total effort. The two principal forces which drive ahead to direct the tremendous social movement that is sweeping along with the mobilization of America are represented by national labor leaders on one hand and the dollar-a year men from industry on the other. Dollar-a-year men have come in for much criticism as a result of their "busiess as osual" policy. Their traditional profit-grabbing policy has done more to handicap the national war effort than all the labor difficulties multiplied a hundred times,. The steel, aluminum, man.a..s,, tin, rub her, copper, and other bottlenecks have been largely due to the profit-hungry Washington representatives of ambitious big businesses. Production has been limited or restricted either dirctly or by the interference with factory construction so that thereby the price level and private control could be assured now and after the war, Labor ha. led a strong fight against this obvious inefficiency. Both A. F. of L. and C. i, 0. leaders have been instrumental in exposing these conditions are that actually the greatest obstacle in the way of ,maximum p1roduction of war materials. American railroads , tare not completely International Secretary without responsibility for some delays tf vital war materials. The principal trouble in that industry is the low wages that are being maintained despite the serious labor shortage situation which is being aggravated by the wage scale. Let's get working conditions and wage scales on the railroads adjusted so as to avoid having to look back upon the shorsighted labor policy that caused a shortage of railroad equipment. It would be just as destructive to the war effort as the vicosus profiteers who exploit the nations suffering. It must not be, W. L. INGRA.. rress Secretary. L U. NO. B-212, CINCINNATI, OHIO Editor: When this article appears in the November isue Thanksgiving will just about be a memory. It's a day we here in Cincinnati celebrate with a real reson this year, being privileged to have been born in the United States of Anerica, with all of its rights and liberties. We here in Cincinnati are busy and are hoping to continue so for quite a while. D.ning the month of October we had the pleasure of having home with us on furlough George Kreidler, Jr., Milton Weisenborn, Jr., and iobert Donaldson. son of James Donaldson. All three of these men are in the Navy L. U. NO. 245, TOLEDO, OHIO Editor: Another month has gone, anoth nearer to the victory that we must and will win regardless of the cost; another month of time purchased for this country, by blood and death, by agomly and sacrifice, by sweat and toil. The dollars that we are loaning to our governmienit we will got back with interest. We have no coin or medium of ex change with which to pay those who gave their ALL for us; nor call these brave and unselfish men and women be replaced. Their loss is a grievous o no. The price of victory is not all paid upon the battlefield. Brother Otto Graner gave his life while serving the reeds of the industries that turn out ,ur war needs. He fought upon the home front and gave his all to his country. To his family we extend sincere our sympathy, for Otto Bad Ilany friends in Local 245 and will be sorely missed. The St. Vineout's Hospital seems to be a popular mieeting place for the Edison employees lately. Carl French, George Mitchell anid Pete Ev>aneff staged a reunion there recently and we hope that by the time this reaches print they will again be on the well list. W. D. Mcxibben was home on a furlough recently arid I hope that it did much .s good for him as it did for his dad. Mae is mighty proud of the boy, who is now flight engineer in the Air Force. The labor unions are now on a spot as never before, Even the War Chest fiaacing is in their lap. We must now come across with the Do, Ri. Mi, or go across with the A. E.
