It is for this we organize now.
It is for this, we call for 1000 CO.
operation of every local and every
friend of labor in this country.
Let us put a quick end to any
tendency to sit back and "let the
job do ITSELF" But the big news
to day is the advance made in
the great Industrial Centers Of the
midwest. Through their great ma
tional conference with the Presi-
dent, these workers expressed
their hope that an offensive would
soon get under way. Workers,
shop stewards, and Union leaders,
without hesitation rallying the
united forces of our nation to
make possible that Second Front
in Europe today. Together, with
the front so valiently held by the
Soviet forces will put victory in
the hands of the people of the
world.
CLIO Unions must take part in
Civilian Defense work and extend
the opportunity for vocational
training to everybody who wishes
to work in war industries. EVERY
body" excluding all barriers of
race, creed, color or nationality,
for discrimination" is a Nazi
practice. production for victory
is sabotaged" by it. It is as dan
gerous in Civilian Defense as it
is in industry.
Labor would never have asked
for time and a half and double
time if the working man had re-
ceived a living wage in the first
place. There are some who never
actually Produced" anything in
their lives, who draw big fat
salaries for endeavoring to sabo-
tage Labor over the air. They
claim it is conspiracy or subver-
sive activities against the govern
ment because our Labor Unions
are fighting for what it took years

ORGANIZATION

an additional Organizer to the
Dayton Area. So far this man has
done some fine work In bringing
several groups of workers under
the CLIO banner. At any time,
Fred Fudge, CLIO Organizer, is
available for organizational help.

prospects for organization of any

to build up. Sixty percent of the
wealth of the world is conferred
in this continent and only forty
percent of the population. Why
must the interests of the majority
be sacrificed for those of the few.
Under our present setup we can
o%utproduce the enemies of De-
mocracy if Capital plays ball with
Labor.
The slogan in all plants should
no longer be conversion but call
out production" It burns up a
lot of us to see these plants black
ed out and skilled workers walk
ing the streets due to the snail
like pace set by the management
of some of our industrial plants,
at this time, to change over to
vital war products. Tool and die
makers r putting out every
extra effort to speed conversion
and now, thanks to the Unions
effort, training and organization
of workers for the new jobs, the
work is proceeding at a surpris-
ing rapid rate.
The accent here is increasingly
on Labor's great part. This was
tremendously spurred by the ma
tional conference of the UAW
and III own UE. The CLIO has
placed the issue squarely before
the Manufacturers Association.
GIN and UE have set up joint
labor-management production
councils. Existing disparity in
Frigidaire, due to the conversion,
will be taken care of by the shop
committee and arrangements top
labor representatives.
This, the American Way of set
Ting grievances, has dramatized
for the country the fact that
preservation Of Union and other
democratic rights is best advanced
by constructive labor leadership
behind the war effort.

OF Dayton. AS you know, by the
armed forces of our nation.
It is of vital importance that
the women of Delco take a more
active role in the affairs of their
Union, UE Local 755. It has been
my experience that active women
stewards, committee members,
and board members help to main
tain a democratic, progressive
Union. Women today, face a great
responsibility. It is up to the
women that are replacing men in
war industry to carry on the
eternal fight for higher wages,
better working conditions, and to
maintain a decent American STAN
dard of living.
In Local 755, 7 had the honor to
be the chairman of the recrea-
tional committee. Through the aid
and assistance of the women
members of the committee, serv-
ing in several difficult positions,
we were able to build a real
recreational program for the
members of the Local
This is just one phase of the
activities that women can play in
the affairs of a Union. The women
can do the Union and their fellow
workers a real service by attend
ing and participating in the vari-
GUS councils, committees, and
boards that 60 to make UP the
working machinery of a local.
Through active participation in
Union affairs, and fighting to
maintain and better our progress,
we, who are in service, can feel
secure in the knowledge that our
interests are protected while we
are doing our part in this War.
To the girls of Delco who are
members of the Keep EN- Smil-
ing club, I say to you, Keep up
the good work" There are many
and varied needs in the UE for
women to come to front. For ex-
ample, a recreational program for
the women of the UE in this area
should be set up and started.
This will be one method whereby
a definite program of the women,
by the women, and for the women
can set up and activate committees
to sponsor dances, picnics, movies,
and shows for the interest of the
membership of the UE.
In Madame Perkins, Secretary
of Labor, we have an outstand-
ing example of a woman leader.
Elinor Roosevelt, the First Lady,
is another outstanding example of
leadership among women.
Women through Union affil-
iation, can play an important part
in the civic life of our community.
To the UE women of Dayton, I
make this appeal TITS your
Union, it is up to you to make
it a great Union"

COMMITTEES

With members of the Council
serving on important civic Com
mittees, it is of vital importance
that the Council have a full
delegation present at all Council
meetings. It Is to be realized that
many of our membership Is al
ready overwhelmed with their
duties. Therefore, it may be
necessary TO elect delegates IN

them. We ask every Local to
contact it's delegates and see If
they are available for service on
a Council Committee.
PICNIC
James M. Gauder, Chairman of
the Picnic Committee, is overload
ed with the many duties connected
with staging this largest of all

LEAVES
Honore Armstrong, Field Or
ganizer for the UE, has left the
Dayton offices for an extended
leave of absence from her duties.
As one of the few women Organ
izers in the UE, Honore has done
a great deal of work in the Dayton
area.
The Keep 'Em Smiling" Club
was organized with the help of
Honore, and her many friends
among the membership are tax
ing this opportunity to wish her
q very pleasant vacation and

ONCE AGAIN!
We are tired of continually writing editorials that
criticize and condemn various leaders in our community
BUT ELSE CAN WE DO? Every day new stories
about the lack of civic pride and laxness in the duties of the
men who control our city operations are brought to our
attention.
Here is the most gIaring example of unfairness to our
country that soe haze ever heard!
1t seems that between the esteemed Chamber
of Commerce, the City Commission, and the Realtors
Association of Dayton, every effort is extended to
keep those housing prices up!
The Dayton Defense Council has also been very
helpful. The total effort to improve Housing conditions
being exactly nothing!

their energy in the production of War materials to
defend America, find themselves faced with the side

We ,oish to use the English language to the best
possible advantage in our editorials, but there is only one
aDord to express the aDay that Dayton War toorkers feel
IT thinks The odor of the actions or rather
lack of action will be remembered long after THIS
VAR Is WONi
We will never give up the fight to provide the workers
of Dayton with homes suitable for living. We do NOT mean
existing!
Write to your City Commission, to your Mayor, to
every candidate in the coming ELECTIONS! Ask them
what they intend to do. Send your answers in to the Dayton
Union News!
We will s~traighten them out, or give them
pressure that Hell would never hold. We guarantee it!

A Thought for Today
Conquered?

Two years ago this month Hitler con-
quered Norway Or did he? Many tides
have risen In the fjordS since that cold
dawn when the Nazis and the Quislings
drove their already bloody dagger into the
backs of the NorWegians who had escaped
World War l and somehow believed
they'd miss this one too, Quisling and
Hitler thought 1t was easy. Americans
still long way from Pearl Harbor-
thought it was a little too easy. The
British and French thought they might
do something about 1t, got handful OF
troops there in time to start getting
them out again.
Well, two years have gone by and how
easy does 1t look to you today, VidKun
Quisling? Even with Htler's best horror
merchants backing you up, you have only
$4,000 members IN your party - just
per cent OF NorWay's population. The
rest Of them seek your life. The day Hit
Ter falls you die Perhaps sooner. Your
treason wasn't even smart.
And how are things for you, Hitler?
You have stolen everything you could
lay hands on. You have slaughtered
hundreds who resisted; thrown thous-
ands into concentration camps You
have brought them all misery. But that
misery Is a puny thing compared to the
will for vengeance that will not be denied.
Conquered? Ask Adolf.
Americans: can you say you are fight
ing as we'll as Norway? II you can answer
YES, the war is won, for the power is with
you. And Britain2 Have you anything
but praise for the Morse sailors and ships
that bring you oil and weapons and food
tshat you may continue the fight, for the
people in Norway who cheer your bomb
ings against their homeland and pray
Nightly that you will invade? And
Franco? Norway makes your cringing
collaborators look even worse. II your
France had resisted as valiantly as Nor
way, Hitler today would be lot farther
down the road to defeat, -. ...,.
Z Two years after their tiny army was
beaten, the bravery of these tough Nor
wegians shines like the northern lights,
flashing signal around the world that
Hitler can never win. II that sounds
poetic, all right. Poets for centuries will
sing OF these men, women and children.
Conquered? Why the Norwegians have
lust begun to fight

What Will Happen?

Speculation Is heard on every side as
to what will happen In Waterbury, as
well as other defense centers, when the
1o41 rental ceiling becomes effective.
According to the mandate all local rents
must be returned TO the figure they were
at on April /, 1941. There isn't supposed
to be any pickering about this on the
part of tenant or landlord, the latter
simply being given the alternative OF ac-
cepting the 1941 figure and presumably
the tenant allowed to assume that 1t IS
effective whether or not he Is officially
notified.
Rental conditions in this city are prob
ably about the worst they ever have been.
BY this we mean there just aren't rents
available for the many who are looking
for them or if they are they have been
applied for so far in advance that It's
Just a question of one family moving out
while new one is moving in. With plenty
of new homes going up in and around
Waterbury the situation may arrive
where a certain percentage of these new
homes will have to be made available Tor
those seeking to rent rather than buy.
The situation, though, right now is one
where houses are being built for sale
rather than rent, which, of course, is
understandable. Home ownership is to
be encouraged. It's healthy sign, but
we don't think that ever before were
there so many homes owned as there are
right now in the city. The number will
increase, too, but whether or not this will
ease the rental problems remains to be
seen.
