Stores Again
Well Crowded

With enthusiastic EXPLANATIONS
of Friday shoppers still ringing
in their ears. customers are crowd
ing Ypsilanti stores again today
to take advantage Of the city's
semi-annual dollar days.
Although shelves were quickly
cleared of much merchandise Fri
day, merchants today had replen-
ished them with supplies from their
store rooms and were ready to
meet new shoppers as well as those
who returned to add to their Fri
day purchases.
Many of the stores cooperating
in the Dollar Day program had addi-
tional clerks who proved them
selves invaluable when bargain
hunters became too numerous to
be handled by regular stats. All
were quick to serve both old and
new customers.
Merchants were anticipating
large crowds yet this afternoon and
evening until closing time when
Npsilauti's f"orty-seventh semi an.
nual Dollar Days come TO and end.

Rationing Of

Said to
be Temporary

Washington. Aug 1-INS-Office
Of Price Administration officials
disclosed today that meat ration,
ing is not under active eonsidera-
ton lat the moment" because the
eastern meat shortage is only
temporary"
Officials said that the meat short
age would last only four or six
weeks and il would be impossible
to institute rationing within thai
period. since the shortage would be
over before ration cards could be
distributed.
IF it does develop into a perman-
ent affair, of course, we will have
to take a different approach on the
subject" one official declared.
1t was pointed out that marketing
Of the 1912 pig and livestock crop
in about six weeks would probably
alleviate the present beef and pork
shortage. Officials believe that
there is little possibility that the

600 pounds. or eight per cent above

fish on the East Coast. the Great
Lakes and the West Coast have de-
creased by IS per cent.
Officials charged that dealers are
freezing fish at a faster rate than
at any time last year, although they
now enjoy their best fresh fish
markets in history. Officials attrib-
uted the increased freezing 10 a

Frs FROM ORGANIZING IN

BY the number of UE-CIO cards
being signed at Univis and
rolling into the UE-CIO office 49,.
it can be clearly seen hat Univis
workers are now more determined
than ever to win bargaining
rights in a strong Union that can
put Univis management in its

The UE-CIO through the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board has
no alternative but to take the COM
pany to court in order that Univis
employees rights car be reestab-
lished in the plant and an
election held.
Help take Univis management to

CHARGES FILED

The UE-CIO filed charges against the Univis Company with
the National Labor Relations Board some time ago in order
to force the company to stop interference in Univis Employees Union
affairs. In a effort to stop Univis Workers from joining he UE-CIO
the company fostered a company union called the Independent.
In a further effort to stop organization of the UE-CIO the company
Disseminated against several UE-CIO men in a layoff. These acts
unlawful and hence the charges were filed.
, 1942-12-09

The Company after pre-
tending for weeks to be ready to
settle the charges has now refused
all terms of settlement and
thus refused its employees the
right to collective bargaining
through a democratic election 80.
until the Government forceably
makes the company come to terms
on an election.
Most Univis workers have al
ways realized that the inefficient
production methods were caused
by poor planning, low wages and
failure of management to recogn-
ize its employees democratic rights.
NOW EVERY UNIVIS WORKER
-. NEW AND OLD HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY CONVINCED OF
MANAGEMENTS UNFAIRNESS
AND CAN CLEARLY SEE
WHY UNIVIS WORKERS MUST
HAVE A STRONG UNION IF
THERE IS EVER TO BE ANY
JUSTICE IN THE UN1VIS
PLANT!
Realizing that Univis workers
want an election as soon as pos
sible, the UE-CIO has made every
effort to get the company to agree
to abide by the law to settle
the charges so that Univis
workers could start their collec-
tive bargaining and bring
Univis up to the standards of other
UE-CIO shops in Dayton.
UE-CIO men who were discrim-
mated against in the layoH
and had the opportunity to win
back pay for time lost If the case
was taken to court offered to
give up this opportunity if the
company would agree to abide by
the law and consent to an election
where the Univis employee could
vote for or against the UE-CIO.
The men made this offer to
give up this opportunity be
cause they realized that if they
could speed the election ALL
