International projectionist (Jan-Dec 1945)

IN THE SPOTLIGHT (Continued from page 17) vote; and the anti-labor movement of the CAA received another serious blow. Speaker Harris denounced the sponsor of the bill. Rep. Lovett. and stated that the Georgia legislature "was too enlightened to persecute organized labor." We have been reliably informed that this labor-baiting organization is now busily engaged in laying the groundwork for its anti-union activities in South Dakota, a state where organized labor is none too strong. A report on the success of this "mission" will appear in a future issue. # An aside to George Murphy, secretary of Local No. 91, Boise, Idaho. Glad you saw our point. The following item appearing in a trade publication further strengthens our argument against armytrained projectionists: "Before being turned out as a projectionist by the Canadian Army trade school, S/Sgt. Owen Gertridge. of Wolfeville. drove a truck." Our $64 question is — will Sgt. Gertridge go back to driving a truck when he returns to civilian life, or will he be another army-trained projectionist trying to compete with men who have devoted years of hard work trying to maintain high projection standards? # Local No. 110, Chicago, reports the death of three members within one week, namely, Edward "Corkey" Smith, Fred M. George and Edward LeRoy. Our condolences to their survivors.
