The National Cash Register
is the last of the large plants in
Dayton to remain unorganized. I
am sure that the workers at, MGR
will be happy to become a part
of a great organization that really
does a job for it's members. I am
so sure in fact, that I am hereby
extending an invitation to all MGR
Local 8O7 members.
At any time, any member of
Local 8O7 is cordially invited to
stop in at our Local Hall, at 20
Madison Street. W. will be glad
to help you with any problem of
organization that you may have.
Bring your prospects with you!
An explanation of the many gains
and benefits that our Union offers
new members, will be of great
help in your drive for bargaining
rights"
Delco UE Local 755 is among
the first to offer the complete CO.
operation to Local 807 members.
In successive issues of this paper

CHR Stalled

After a number of months of
negotiations for changes in the
existing agreement at CHR unit
of Local 1853, a deadlock was
reached last week. The Local
Union requested the services of
a conciliator and a meeting is
scheduled for Monday, August
II.
The negotiations between the
Shop Committee and the Company
terminated over failure to come
to an agreement upon wage de-
mands and recognition. Wage in
creases have been proposed by
the Company affecting between
4O% and 500 of the workers
which was rejected by the mem
bership in their last meeting.

Continue

The HSP unit of Local 1853 has
been carrying on continuous
negotiations with Management,
with the services of Conciliator
Ralston from the u. S. Department
of Labor. The differences under
negotiation are based around the
fifth column Dyer System used
by the Company.
A brief was submitted by the
Union to the Company covering
objections of the Union to a GER
tain policy connected with the
Dyer System, and the Company
in return has offered a rebuttal
which the Union is now studying.
To assure the fullest production
and the utmost harmony in the
plant, the Union has proposed a
basic guaranteed rate of $1.1O per
hour to machine operators with
a year or more service to the
Company. This was made because
of a policy under the Dyer Sys-
tenn which cut back the hourly
rate of the. employees to a low
base rate when piece work STAN
dards were not established.
Andrew Cad, Chief Steward for
HSP reports that negotiations are
continuing with a meeting being
scheduled with Management for
the latter part of next week.

cripple the seven point program.
It therefore seems that increased
labor costs can hardly enter into
the situation. For industry as a
whole, a $50 increase in labor costs
has more than been covered by a
cut of $3.50 in overhead expenses.
The chief increase in costs has
been in raw material.
According to Henderson's
figures, wages and salaries had
increased 1870, most of which was
in salaries and payment for those
who are working LONGER
HOURS or who were NOT
WORKING BEFORE.
Profit increases have already
added $4,000 OO, 900 to the cost
of the nations arament program.
In other words, if a man received
81 a minute "a hours a day for
5000 years and saved every cent
of it, he still couldn't accumulate
what these profiteers have made
so far, at the expense of the tax
payers.
We have ample evidence that
with our modern methods of pro-
duction, power and machinery, we
could turn out vastly more war
materials. Insead, dislocations,
EMBELLISHMENTS and bottlenecks
have declared their preference to
fight the American people to that
of joining the fight. against our
nations mortal enemies-the Axis
powers.
The coming Congressional cleo
ton must become a "Vital Front"
for labor. Organized labor unions,
regardless of their affiliation, as
long az they are progressively
minded, have a job to do. They
will organize a nationwide cam
paign to compel Congress to pass
the 7-point Win-the- War Eco
nomic program presented in April
by the President; and secure the
defeat of all profiteers and APP
peasers in the Forthcoming cleo
tons. Let the recent letter of

We have, for instance, Howard
Smith, who introduced his now
Infamous bilr' from a poll tax
state. There still happens to be
eight of these states and in some
of them, a TO vote of the people
at an election is sufficient for the
decision.
Who provides the slush funds
to elect these poll-taxers and keep
them in office? Where does this
hysterical campaign against labor
originate? Could it be possible,
that some of our big industrialists,
who have been p~rofiteering
shamelessly on war contracts are
back of these bills? We wonder.
After a years investigation the
house naval affairs committee has
finally reached the conclusion
