A message to General Motors Folks in Dayton

ID ECENT EVENTS have made it shockingly
~ clear that our country and its institutions
face a peril that threatens to engulf all that we
hold dear.
To recognize the peril is to place obligations upon
us as Americans.
The common people built America. Our ances-
tors handed down to us an heritage of DemOc-
racy, a haven of freedom for the oppressed and
prosecuted.
Today in a troubled world, our first thoughts
must be to protect ourselves, QUIZ families and
our country from those within and without, who
seek to destroy OUR democracy here at home.
A HUGE effort confronts American working
men and women today-to safeguard all We
have been taught to hold dear. ALI that which
has made possible a proud ~people-an educa-
tional system for our children, good homes,
happy families-TH AMERICAN STANDARD
OF LIVING.
Now under the guise of defense, corporations
plan the greatest profit orgy ever known. Not
long ago these corporations struck against the
government. They refused to manufacture
articles of war, until they had been guaranteed

a reasonable" profit, and amortized plants from
the government. THEY WON THEIR STRIKE.
Since that time, the cry has been to prevent
working men from winning reasonable assur-
ances on their futures.
PROFITS ARE going up. Rents are going up.
Food is going up. Taxes are going up. Our
wages are standing still. OUR STANDARDS
ARE GOING DOWN.
Now when Americans are acting In the defense
of Democracy, they are attacked by forces who
think not so much of America as they do of their
own selfish interests, of Profits. These are
enemies of American Democracy.
GENERAL MOTORS, like every industry, is
benefitting in increased profits. They have huge
war orders. We are paying for these orders.
GENERAL MOTORS folks, organized in the
United Electrical Workers, are demanding that
the corporation, most profitable in the world,
grant a general wage increase to safeguard our

The endeavors of our Union is being met by
stalling and hedging. General Motors is acting
against the national interest.
