since various concessions were grant-
ed through it, the union did not make
much headway until last September.
Then the company seriously at-
tacked established principles of sen-
iority, in disregarding 3,000 workers
for re-hiring who should have been
selected. The union began to agi-
tate, strike meetings were called and
the company was forced to straighten
out this violation of seniority rights.I
After this workers began to join1
the union in numbers and after thet
General Motors strike began theyf
joined the union en masse. Through-t
out this history the works council<
has been used by the company to(
weaken the apparent strength of the1
union. Even though a majority of
the works council were union mem-
bers, Chrysler employes felt "as long
as they're doing' things through the
council, why bother much about the
union.
Undermining Chief Reason
This undermining, this sapping,
this deflecting of union strength pis
the chief reason prompting our de-
mand for a sole bargainin contract.
"What would happen if we failed?
Well, I don't see how that's possible,
but if the impossible becomes true,'
it would mean an immediate decline
of the union's importance, a falling
off of interest, a widespread failure
to pay dues. To overcome this situa-
tion the union would have to resort to
all sorts of measures. There would
be all sorts of labor trouble.
"But we'll win. And when we do?
wel'll be more able to bargain suc-
cessfully. And when this takes place,
the foundations will have been laid
for real cooperation.
CALLS MURPHY 'HIRED HAND'
WASHINGTON, March 22.- (P) -
Representative Hoffman (R e p.-
Mich.) told the House today that if
President Roosevelt had given prop-
er instructions to "his hired hand,
Murphy, and the lady who is pre-
tending to run the labor department"
there would have been no strike
troubles in Flint. Governor Murphy
of Michigan, he said, hobnobbed with
strikers and "gave them encourage-
ment."

before an industrial board for in-

not following this procedure would

Miriam Hopkins says:
My throat welcomes Luckies-my favorite
cigarette for 5'ears"
:: tLuckies have been my favorite cigarete
for about 5 years. They're a light smoke
that sensitive throats welcome. Of the
many trends that sweep through Holly-
wood, one of the longest lasting has been
the preference for Luckies. I once asked
a property' man-who supplies ciga'
rettes to the actors-what the favorite is.
He answered by opening up a box con-
taining cigarettes. They were all Luckies."

An independent survey was made recently
among professional men land women-lawyers,
doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc.Of those who said
they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they
personally prefer a light smoke.
Miss Hopkins verifies' the wisdom of this pref-
erence, and so do other leading artists of the
radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are

their fortunes. That's

why so many of them

smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro-
