Dear Members:

The "Give one day a month to the National pilots on strike" plan is progressing satisfactorily. When the pressure is on, strange things come to surface. Measurements are taken of the texture of men. Some can take it and some cannot. No one would ever have thought that the Pan American pilots would walk picket lines, but they're doing it, and more power to them. It shows the kind of metal of which they are cast. 

Some are not doing as well. The pilots of one company are dragging their feet, and decidedly. Be all that as it may, we have a fight on our hands against a most arrogant opponent. It's the kind of a battle in which everyone must do his full part. 

The "Give one day a month to the National pilots on strike" is off to an excellent start. The latest strike control points' addresses and phone numbers are as follows:

(2)Air Line Pilots Assn.
2012 Ponce de Leon
Coral Gables, Fla.

(5)Air Line Pilots Assn.

(7) Charles E. Leeds
Plymouth Hotel
New York
Circle 7-8100

(9)Air Line Pilots Assn.

Washington, D.C
National 2167

(11)C.H. Ruby
Victoria Hotel
519 Main St.

September is a good month to make it 100%. If every pilot domiciled at any one of the above stations would put in one day during September pf picketing ad helping the National pilots with other strike prosecuting efforts, the result would be terrific. Moreover, the National boys have been out there on the picket lines a long time. We must line up shoulder to shoulder with them and show Baker and the ATA that ALPA doesn't forget its own.
