August the 10th was the date
of our last business meeting. New
committee sheets were given to
members by President Mrs. Dor-
othy Fields. Very interesting re-
ports were presented by our dele-
gates from the Texas State Coun-
cil.
A new member, Mrs. Mildred

twenty to thirty men on the "out-

1 in pretty good shape. This is a
very low percentage of the entire
membership. We know several
locals that have a very high num-
ber of members out of work. One
of our problems is job Stewards.
Brother, if you are the only one
of your Craft on the job then you
should consider yourself the Stew-
ard and make up your mind to en-
force our (your) Agreement,
Working Rules and By-Laws.
Really, what is your excuse for
not taking the position as job
Steward ?
We need to know the most im-
portant thing to have a good pro-
gressive Local is good solid mem-
bers who are interested in the wel-
fare of their brother members.
This, I believe, is one thing we are
short at. Sure, we have a lot of
good men in our organization but
sometimes I wonder about some
to the extent that I feel sure they
may someday drown in their own
cess pool at indifference and “don’t
care" attitude.

a local contractor who had begun
remodeling the home into three-
room apartments. The contractor
was persuaded to sell the home to
the group and shortly thereafter
the Eugene V. Debs Foundation
was formed to take over the proj-
ect.
The Foundation then begun a
program to restore, as much as
possible. the furnishings and decor
of the Debs’ era. This was done
with the cooperation of Debs'
daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Deba
Cooper,
Under the leadership of Founda-

who is also president of the Amal-
gamated Meat Cutters and Butch-

Foundation Vice President Ned
A. Bush, Sr., news editor of the
Terre Haute (Indiana) Tribune,
Foundation members felt that the
exterior of the home needed re-
storation and preservation as well.
Costs of maintaining the Deba
home, inside and out, had to be
held to a minimum and Founda-
tien officials selected an exterior

would never need painting. When

should be stopped. Davis Railey
had his Volswagen broken into
recently.
