Hall, 145F Wintler Drive Vancouver and Vicinity By Doris Mae Williams Mrs. Laura Juhola, champion wrestler on the ways, Kaiser Co., Vancouver Wash., challenged any– one in the yard after pinning the shoulders of a fellow worker to the :pavement Tuesday, August 29. A special meeting was called Tuesday, August 29, for the scaler fo1·eman H. Van Allen to determine whether or not he is mean or hard to get along with, the scalers of course did not attend the meeting and it was rumored that he was on the spot for speaking up for a Ne– gro woman w"orker who was stepped up to the position of leader. Since being a worker under his supervision I have found him to be prejudices, and had followed the old time tradition of segregation and discrimination he probably would have been seen in a different light. But thanks to Van Allen there is no segregation or discrimi– nation in his department, you get what your merit. It would be a better yard if other departmelltS were to pattern their programs after him. I believe I speak for scalers as a whole. I say we want Van Allen.
