“We Are Americans First and Trade Unionists Second” WILLIAM GREEN, PRES. A. F. OF L RICK’S MECHANIC IN THE LAST WAR WANTS HIM TO “CLOSE HIS TRAP” AND GET DOWN TO REAL WORK HARTFORD, Conn.—Eddie Rickenbacker’s heroic outburst of slander against American workers doesn’t impress Walter Em mons, ordnance worker at Colt’s Patent Firearms Mfg. Co., who served with Rickenbacker in 1918 as a mechanic at Issonden, France. Emmons, who works six days a week helping to turn out machine guns, says: “Rick would be much more of a hero right now if he’d get down and do a little honest work for his coun try instead of drawing a fat salary for stabbing American workers in the back while they are busy working, or fighting in the foxholes where they can’t talk. A member of Local 270, United Electrical, Radio and Machine Work ers, Emmons was glad to hear of Rickenbacker’s rescue in the Pacific, but when the ex-hero took advantage POLITICAL ADVERTISING VOTE FOR E.

And they’re out there fighting-or trying to do something to win this war, while Rickenbacker goes around blowing his mouth off against the working peo ple for the benefit of the NAM!” In regard to his experience with Rickenbacker in the last war, Em mons doesn’t say much. “I used to see him quite often when he flew in to the field,” he relates, “but to tell you the truth, he didn’t interest me any. He was pleasant enough, but he never struck me as any better than any of the others. He seemed pretty impressed with himself.” And he adds significantly: “I guess he still is.” Stewards of Emmons’ local have unanimously passed a resolution de nouncing Rickenbacker’s attack on la bor and the war effort.
