The Board OF commerce re-
quest for postponement of gas ra-
in Detroit was firmly re-
jected by Rubber Gar William
M. letters today while new re-
quests for postponement were sent
10 Washington.
President Frank X. Martel OF
the Detroit and Wayne County
Federation of Labor and the com

postponement of rationing while

LETTER FROM JEFFERS
In turning down the origina
Board of Commerce request, JEFF
fers wrote Berry:
AS 1 have said In public
statements, the rubber survey
committee, appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, reported on Sep
TENDER 10, among other things,
. recommendation that nation
wide restriction of the use Of
gasoline be put into effect as
quickly as possible. The Presi-
dent on September 10, in q state
ment to the press, said. Recon-
mendations made by the special
committee will be put into ef-
feet As rapidly rs arrangements
can be made
"Tho rubber survey commit
tee report says, 1t must be kept
In mind that we are not restrict
ing the use of gasoline ~ such;
we are rationing gasoline - the
only effective measure to hold
down tire use. To mako the re-
striction other than nationwide
would be unfair and futile
81 trust that with this further
explanation, you will better
understand the request that 1
made - that Americans Join
wholeheartedIy and periodically
In an observance Of the regula-
tons"
BERRY REPEATS PLEA
Reiterating his request, Berr.
replied:
"We believe Detrolt's unique
situation and importance in the
war effort fully warrant and
justify personal investigation Of
yourself and Mr.. Henderson and
confidently believe that II you
gentlemen will make . personal
investigation Of our claims, you
will concur In our request for .
deferment Of the effective date
Of tho gasoline rationing for this
district"

SChoIIe Pleads
For Tolerance
To End Strikes
Clio Head Says Ysnks
in Far East viii Never
Forgive Arms Tieups
By WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor

A plea to set prejudices aside
for the duration and concentrate
on todays big job-the war. was
voiced by August Scholle. regional
director Of the CIO, in an address
to the Adcraft Club of Detroit.
"When I read the book They
Were ExpendabIe'," Scholle said,
"and thought Of those fellows
out there on Bataan. I couldn't
help but think how those fellows
must feel when they read Of
petty quarrels at home.
"None of us will reap any hare
vest Of gratitude from those
fellows. II must stop! We must
be tolerant and respect each
other and work together for our
common goal"
CITES WAGE-HOUR BENEFITS
At yesterdays regular meeting
of the club he pointed out that
the Wages and Hours Act has
benefited employers as much as
labor. Scholle then called on John
L. Lovett. general manager of the
Detroit Association of Manufac-
turers, in the audience, to witness
that employers had even sought
union support to stabilize wages in
certain industries.
"John LOvett knows Of many
cases where employers have
come to US and asked M 10
organize other firms 50 that
they would not suffer from nm.
fair competition" Scholle said.
The Wages and Hours Act sets
a fair standard for all firms and
protects honest and fair employers
from those paying starvation
wages, Scholle commended.
COMMISSION ASSAILED
Far from giving a clean bill Of
health to the national administra-
ton, the labor executive criticized
the actions of the War Manpower
Commission in asking employers
to refuse employment to those
leaving war jobs.
This has resulted In millions
of lost man hours In our most
skilled groups" he charges.
Employers, ON instructions ok
the government, refuse to hire .
man unless he has release
from his previous employer. This
| often means that days elapso
before that man gets on the
/ lob"

RANKS INCREASING


women now are busily working
In primary war industries, max
ing guns, planes, tanks, bombs
and bullets, freeing young men
for the military services. The
total by the end Of 194S IL ex-
pected to exceed 5000, 900.
Daily our women are break
ing down old barriers to take
up jobs In labor precincts never
before penetrated by feminine
workers, and they are making
good. Plant managers are pub
licly lauding their quickness to
learn difficult skills, their ef-
ficiency, their conscientiousness
and thoroughness in their tasks
and their adaptability to plant
conditions
always the keystone Of the
American home, our women are
now serving as an additional
source Of vital manpower for
the war effort. In the light OF
these grave new responsibilities
they are assuming, the candidate
who meets the high standards
set for judging Miss Victory
will not only worthily represent
American womanhood OF 1912,
but will symbolic the indomi-
table spirit that will carry US
to victory

approximately 1000 employees
of the Michigan Tool Company,
manufacturers OF gears for tanks
and battleships, walked from their
Jobs early yesterday evening.
Workers of the Nash-Kelvinator
Corporation, were ordered from
their Jobs on the afternoon shift.
Many of them women. with hus-
bands. or sons in the service were
crying when they left the plant.
About 1900 are employed in the
plant which manufacture parts for
airplane motors.
At Eureka Vacuum. engaged in
manufacturing gas masks. workers
also walked from the afternoon
shift shortly after Z p. m.
Other smaller plants quickly
followed and workers left their
jobs in Is plants, Smith said.
MEETING Is CALLED
An executive board meeting Of
the MESA will be held today in
Cleveland, and a representative OF
the War Labor Board will be
present. he said.
The National Labor Relations
Board has been petitioned to hold
an election in the Briggs plant,
Smith declared.
The MESA recently attempted
Organization Of the maintenance
workers al the Briggs aircraft
plant and claims to have organ
lied a majority of them.
Fights between UAW-CIO MEM
hers and the newly organized
MESA workers broke out and
came TO head last week when
six MESA members we're elected
from the Briggs plant.
1--WE are going to see II there
Is any law and order In Detroit
Smith said. 1--WE are going to
find out II n man can Join a
union OF his own choice or not.
SMITH BLAMES JAW
"The JAW Is not running this
town yet, although they seem to
think 80. They started IL and
we will finish IL. We have n
nice tight little union and we
will not stand for our members
being slugged and coerced."
Asked why this method of settle
ment was chosen. Smith explained:
1--WE tried to settle this thing
peacably. We sent wires to the
War Labor Board telling them
about the beatings. We sent
many wires and received no an
swers.
$50 the executive board Of the
union voted to call sympathy
strikes OF all MESA members.
I'VE are going to find out II
the UAW-CIO can outlaw labor
board elections I'm this town.
There certainly will be no
sense In holding an election II
the WLB lets the JAW throw
all our members from the plant"

union and the backbone of the re-

of America.
