CLIO
Continued from Page ~
majority Of plant employees are
affiliated with his union % soon
a. "the impartial committees
finishes q check Of Cooperative
members"
Told that the committee had
already certified the Co-Qpera-
tive Is the sole bargaining agent
for employees. Scholle said he
was prepared to show the men,
-bership cards to the Management.
He charged many Cooperative
members have resigned 70 affili-
ate with the UPW.
The statement said Charles
E. Doll. manager Of, the struck
plant, il trying to starve the
workers out" and asserted I'VE
are keenly concerned with the
welfare of workers"
The statement follows:
Recently published newspa-
per accounts give the impression
that none Of the parties to the
dispute at the Mount Clemens
Pottery company are interested
in bringing about q settlement.
What ever may be the attitude
Of the company, TO whose interest
it obviously IL 70 stall negotia-
tons and attempt TO starve
workers into submission, I want
to make the position o. the CLIO
clear. We are keenly concern
ed with the welfare Of the work
ers, and have made every effort
to bring about . lawful settle
ment. We have stood ready to
negotiate 1t all times. And have
even asked Governor Van Wag-
oner to intercede 70 get the COM
pany to meet with Us. Nonchal-
ance on Mr.. Charles Dolls part
is understandable-it fits direct
ly into his express intention Of
starving the workers out"
1T fits furthermore into the
facts Of refusal to obey the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act by
negotiating with q legitimate
union. Mr.. Charles Doll says he
is concerned with the welfare Of
the workers. But offers them the
choice Of submission to his terms
or starvation. What has he done
to provide food for them? We
are concerned with the welfare
Of employees whether they are at
work or on strike. We do not
think they should be forced to
work on Mr.. Dolls dictated
term@ And we are seeing to 1t
that this will not happen. The
CLIO Pottery Workers are being
supported by the strength of the
whole CLIO in Michigan-450,-
600 strong. Twelve large locals
in Detroit have already donated
into the thousands of dollars to
feed and care for them, and more
support Is coming In daily. This
Is something no so-called in
dependent union can do.
II would like to ask what
either Mr.. Charles Doll or the
Mount Clemens Pottery Work
ers Cooperative" has done to
feed and support workers In the
present dispute. T. note also that
the frequently quoted Mr.. Reese,
attorney for the cooperative and
Charley Mccarthy for Charley
Doll, Is carry on m impartial
check for the company's employ
ment records with the member
ship cards In his union" and
plans to announce the results.
When Mr.. Reese produces this
evidence, we will answer i'm
mediately with signed CLIO cards
that prove . majority Of the
men and women actually en-
ploy are with US.
1.-THE formula for opening the
plant Is extremely simple-we
ask only that the company obey
the National Labor Relations
Act. We proposed that last Sat
urday, with the intention Of get
ting the plant open Monday. Our
proposal was rejected. The plant
can open within "a hours Of the
time the company agrees to obey
this labor"
II SALIE.
