CIO for Steel
Meets Dec. 14
to Fix Policy
Expiring Contracts February 28 to
Be Major Issue Before Session
at Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH (UP) The first
phase of the program whereby John
L. Lewis' steel workers organizing
committee hopes to renew the 425
contracts it has with steel companies,
will be outlined here in December
in the first international convention
of union steelworkers.
Delegates from 1.000 lodges of the
SWOC will assemble here Dec. 14. 15
and 1C. to formulate policies and
empower its officials to negotiate new
contracts to replace the ones that
expire Feb. 28 with steel manufac
turing and fabricating companies.
When Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp.,
largest subsidiary of United States
Steel Corp., signed a union contract
March 2, it broke "Big Steel's" 50-year-old
anti-union policy. Other
steel companies followed the lead of
U. S. Steel in Joining the union. But
the major steel independents formed
a solid front against the union, which
last summer called a strike against
"Little Steel" in an unsuccessful at
tempt to gain a Bigned contract.
Murray Cites Pay Figures j
Philip Murray, chairman of the
SWOC, declares that the union, as aj
result of the contracts it obtained
after an intensive steel unionization
drive that started in June, 1936, has
increased the pay of workers in mills
connected with the American Iron
and Steel Institute by $86,000,000
and of workers in independent mills
by $75,000,000.
Just before the first contracts were
signed last March, most of the ma
Jor steel companies raised wages and
gave common labor a minimum $5 a
day pay. This wage scale was in
cluded in the contracts which the
SWOC later signed.
$960,000 War Chest
Lewis recently revealed that the
(Committee! for Industrial Organiz
ation advanced the SWOC $960,000
to finance the unionization drive and
for strike relief.
What will be the wage demands
that will be made by the union in
the new contracts are problematical
Whether the union will demand
a closed shop and the hck off a
system whereby union dues are taken
out of the workers' pay envelope i3
another proposal that may be thresh
ed out in the convention. One of the
objections to "Little Steel" signing
contracts was that the union's de
mands, once they obtained a contract,
would increase and the closed Bhop
and check off would be later union
requests.

'Girl in Red'
Wins Not Guilty
Verdict by Jury
Accused of Slaying Paul Beeves, De
fendant Says Killed in De
fense of Person.
ISELN, N. J., Oct. 23 (UP) Mar
garet Drennan, acquitted in the
"honor slaying" of Paul Reeves, fath
er of her unborn child, was a heroine
to her family's neighbors in this New
Jersey village today as she prepared
to go to "some quiet place to forget
all this and have my baby."
The pretty, 20-year-old secretarial
student expect3 to bear Reeves' child
in six months.
Miss Drennan was freed by a jury
of 11 men and one woman, which
announced its verdict to a cheering
throng in Middlesex county court
after deliberating three hours and 23
minutes. She was acquitted on her
plea that she shot and killed Reeves,
a married man and father of two
young children, at his home on the
night of September 7 to resist crim
inal attack, which is justifiable homi
cide under New Jersey law.
Although she came home with her
parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Drennan,
to the town in which her first ro
mance changed so quickly into the
tragedy, Miss Drennan said that she
would remain only lone enough to
rest after her ordeal. Then, she said.
"I'm going to take a trip, because I
need it."
In a copyrighted story, the New
York World-Telegram today quoted
Thomas McGovern, 26-year-old brake-
man, as saying that he and Miss
Drennan would be married Tuesday
in Holy Cross church, Woodrbridge,
N. J.
McGovern, the story said, asserted
that the date was set a few minutes
after the girl was freed. He was
quoted as saying that he had known
her six years, and that he was eager
to give his name to her unborn child.

County Meet'g
Theodore Metcalfe of Omaha Meets
with Local Vets Sterling Amick,
Weeping Water, Commander
The American Legion of Nebraska
opened a new plan of organization
Thursday when their county form of
activity was launched at the first
county convention held in this city.
Heretofore, the county commander
has been named at the district meet
ing, under the new set up the com
mander, and vice-commander are
elected and adjutant, service officer
and membership chairman are named
by the commander. This gives the
county a separate and compact or
ganization to contact and co-operate
with each local post.
The county convention was held
at the Eagles hall last evening and
with Plattsmouth, Weeping Water.
Eimwood and Nehawka posts being
represented, Louisville and Green
wood having no representatives here.
Dr. G. II. Gilmore of Murray pre
sided over the meeting as the retir
ing county chairman and Adjutant
E. A. Webb, of this city represented
the local post.
The visitors were welcomed by
Frank Smith of the Plattsmouth post
and the response made by William
Winkler, commander of the Eimwood
post.
Commander Gilmore held a round
table on the matter of the objectiv
ities and called on the various posts
to tell of their participation in the
services that the posts had and were
doing for their communities.
Legion Activities
In scouting the Plattsmouth post
had maintained the largest active
organization in a large troop, while
Nehawka was also participating in
this program. Lack of adult leader
ship was stressed by Scoutmaster R.
J. Larson of the Plattsmouth post.
The Arbor day tree planting ac
tivity was covered and in which
Weeping Water reported that sixty
trees had been planted around their
school square while Plattsmouth re
ported trees planted along the high
way near the city but which had
later been torn out in road work.
In the child welfare section Weep
ing Water reported that their post
had taken steps to see that members
of the families of veterans in need
were cared for in the way of shoes
and clothing. The Plattsmouth post
reported on the community club shoe
fund that had made possible the
handling of 115 pairs of shoes last
winter, this enabling children to at
tend school in the winter weather in
warmth and comfort.
In the line of patriotic service, all
of the posts had been active in the
participation in memorial observance
on May 30th each, year, all of the
posts having firing squads except the
Plattsmouth post. , Weeping Water
had also sponsored the Fourth oi
July observance in addition to other
patriotic events. The Eimwood post
reported that they had assisted each
year in the memorials at Wabash
and Alvo as well as their own com
munity. L. S. Devoe of the Platts
mouth post reported the purchase of
a "shrine of the constitution" which
was to be given by the Legion and
Auxiliary of this city as a patriotic
inspiration to the school children of
Plattsmouth.
In the matter of drum corps, Platts
mouth was the only post that has car
ried on this activity and C. A. Mar
shall, drillmaster, told of the very
fine work that the organization has
performed as a community service
unit, this year they having visited a
great many places to participate in
community gatherings.
Membership, always a subject dear
to the heart of the Legion heads,
disclosed the fact, as Ben Olive re
ported, that Weeping Water was over
the top in their quota, the- first post
in the state to reach this honor. The
other posts reported that their mem
bership was slowly being enrolled for
the year.
Rehabilitation and service was re

ported and all posts have active ser
vice officers, Eimwood reporting one
man in the Veterans' hospital. Judge
A. H. Duxbury of the Plattsmouth
post reported that there had been
seventy cases handled here and
eighteen were pending, he commend
ing very highly the fine co-operation
of the state and county facilities.
Safety was also discussed and posts
reported that they had participated in
the aid of safety movements.

Commander Simmons of the Ne
braska City post was present and
extended the invitation to the Cass
county members of the Legion to the
twelfth district convention to be held

promised and a fine program was

mission to a dance, banquet, dugout,
golf course, picture shows, pool and
bowling.There will also be a parade.
This year the Legion and Auxiliary
will have a joint banquet.
Thomas Thompson also joined in
the invitation from the Otoe county
city for the convention.
In grave registration all of
the
posts reported moves in that direc
tion and this was stressed by Com
mander Gilmore and especially for
the older cemeteries where many vet
erans of earlier wars are buried and
their graves unknown or neglected.
In junior baseball.
Plattsmouth
and Louisville had active teams the
past summer and excellent prospects
for the coming year.
District Commander Fred Liebersr
of Bennet, was presented and dis
cussed the new plan of county or
ganization which it was thought
would bring the Legion organization
closer to the individual members and
form for the state department officers
a closer contact with the posts and
the conditions in each county. He
also urged that intensive drives for
membership be started by all posts.
Commander Metcalfe Speaks
State Commander Theodore W
Metcalfe of Omaha, was present and
received a very hearty greeting from
all of the comrades, to many of
whom he is known personally. Com
mander Metcalfe discussed the var
ious activities of the Legion and paid
high tribute to the individual mem
ber who really was the factor that
put over the organization. "Ted"
gave a very fine description of the
New York convention, one of the
best that the Legion has held.
The commanded spoke feelingly of
the comradsbip that has made the
Legion so strong in its attachments
to the members and urged that this
spirit be strengthened and developed.;
He urged that larger membership be
secured that this field of fellowship
might be enlarged.
Elect Officers
The matter of the election of offi
cers was then taken up and by
unanimous choice Sterling Amick,
Weeping Water, was named as the
commander and Emmett Cook, Elm
wood as the vice-commander. The
other officers will be appointed later.
With the close of the session the
members enjoyed a social hour and
personal chats with Commander Met
calfe as well as with the friends from
other sections of the county.

wizards, had prepared the refresh
ments that served to complete a very
pleasant gathering.
The convention for 193S will be
held at Weeping Water, it was voted
as the unanimous choice.
