ADVICE TO WORKERS OF
REYNOLDS COMPANY
‘‘The workers employed by the R. J. Reynolds Com
pany have a wonderful opportunity in the comiiig labor
board elections to advance their owm interests ttiroug-h
voting CIO, and at the same time to lend theii weight
to the progressive labor movement in working for speedy
victory in l^his war against fascism by voting for CIO.
“You will win the protection of a powerful union
and of the whjole CIO. You will be assured of your own
union representatives in collective bargaining to im
prove your conditions and defend your rights and you
will have the satisfaction of becoming part of a great
labor movement which; is devoting all its eflurta to
securing a people's victory in this people's wav and a
greater measure of social justice for all the c^ntytou peo
ple.
“Be sure in your own best interests to mark your
ballots for the CIO."
