In regards to the article per-

/ can appreciate that you can
see the power of truth as illus
trated il your article, but didn't
like the way you can ridicule

as you speak about. Perhaps Mr..
Gandhi may be killing more than
one bird with the same stone,
such as attaining world recog-
milton and sympathy by remind
ing people of their plight in India

have been cleansing his body

is something the American peo-
pie don't know much about, as
otherwise it might hurt the doc
toring business.
History of India shows that
Gandhi went on many fasts be-

Write Representatives

For years, one of the explanations of
congressman when rebuked for voting for
certain bills of discriminatory nature has
been nobody wrote me-.
Obviously, if congressman and state
representatives are TO know the sentiment
of those whom they represent, there is but
one way for the voters TO let them know
and that is to tell them, and put il in
writing.
And do not believe that your repre-
sentatives are not impressed when they re-
ceive a large volume of mail and wires
when controversial legislation awaits their
decision. They are swayed by the Opin-
ions of their people and want to vote in
such manner that they can retain the
confidence and support of majority of
those whom they represent.
1t should not be too difficult for the
workers of Toledo to sit down and put
their protests into words, protest that
can be expressed by simply stating the bills
to which the workers are opposed.
Nor should the workers get the impress
sion that an individual is not important.
for every letter is important. The figure /
is small number indeed, yet when multi
piled by 1000 it reaches significance
which cannot be considered trivial
BY all means write your representa-
tives in Congress and the state legislature
name the bills you are opposed TO and ask
that they vote as the majority of the
people of this district want them to vote
Do this, and you will be surprised with the
results.

the fact of the matter is that this same bill was
killed in committee during the last Congress,
principally because it was too reactionary.
NEW CONGRESS LISTENS
But the new Congress has been extremely
sympathetic to the Hobbs BILL even to the point
of apparently trying to justify themselves in ad-
vance for voting for the bill.
Reports have reached me that our own Con-
gresham Homer Ramey is extremely sympathetic
to the BILL The source of my information is the
Toledo Union Journal
Mr. Ramey should receive your letters, thou
sands of them, telling him to vote against the
Hobbs bill, for unless he hears from you he will
vote for the bill and then come home like lots
of other Congressman and say he never heard
from his constituents (meaning you).
Congressman Ramey's position is that he is
listening and is willing to be convinced; but who
is going to convince him unless you yourselves
take the time to do it?
incidentally, if this bill passes, land it was
used principally as trial balloon by Congress to
see just what the real Labor sentiment of the
country was) it will be the first of a long line
of anti-labor legislation which will be ground out
by Congress during the next two years. intended
to erase most of the gains which we have ac-
cumulated and put us back by years

posed to the Hobbs bill and ask him to vote
against it.

United in Adversely

Toledo labor which has been divided
for number of years, united last Satur-
day TO present a solid front against the
anti-labor legislation now pending before
the Ohio legislature.
Before committee of Toledo repre-
sentatives and senators representing TINS
district in Columbus, the ClO and ALL
united in strong and emphatic protest
against the substitute for Senate Bill 10,
H.B. 311 and H.B. 1913.
These three bills which were designed
to regulate the hours of women and
children during the emergency or, as IN
the case of H.B. 81, in the canning IN
dustry on permanent basis, and to
regulate" unions in the case of H.B. l93,
were opposed by the united objections OF
the CIO and AFL, an indication to the
Ohio representatives that while labor may
he divided in its ideals, it is definitely
united when opposed by vicious antl-labor
bills.
1t was most inspiring scene to witness
the representatives of two rival labor or
ganizatiOns united at last in the negatlvlsm
of defence; but it at least gives hope that
perhaps there may still be ways for unity
to be accomplished by the CIO and AFL in
positive action to advance the cause of
labor rather than merely to defend 1T.

AbsenfeeiSm

Absenteeism, which has been magnl-
fled far in excess of its actual proportion
by those who have "A purpose in over
emphasizing the shortcomings of labor,
is condemned by all labor unions.
On the other hand, very little or moth
ing is said about war industries which lay
off large numbers of their workers for
variety of reasons. That's different.
We think that workers in war indus
tries who willfully absent themselves from
their important work are slackers; but
we think that industries which lay off
large number of wOrkres indefinitely at
this time illustrates that either the man
agement is inefficient, or that there has
not been proper planning.
Workers are willing to overlook short
ages of materials, or delays due to changes
of plans or models, or whatever else may
cause such delays; but they do believe
that the government or management
should be made to pay for the loss OF
time, depending upon which party was
responsible for the Iayoffs.
Summary laying off men for indefinite
periods of time certainly does not inspire
confidence in the workers. Moreover, it
might very likely be one of the major
contributing causes of absenteeism in
plants where large-scale layOffs occur.
We cannot understand industries work
ing at less than peak capacity any more
than we can understand the absentee
worker. Both are detriment to the war
effort.

LITTLE LUTHER

What" Little Luther wanted to
know, "is cost plus?"
"That, my lad" Mr.. Dilworth
replied, ''is the most efficient way
of getting our war material pro-
duced. The government pays
manufacturer the cost of produc-
ton plus, let's say, 10fe margin"
"Why don't they pay the work
ers that way?"
Impossible, my boy. 1t would
lead to initiation. Besides, how
would you work something like
that"
"a worker has costs too, doesn't
he? Rent, clothes, food, radio,
movies and things for the kids"
"We are all expected to sacri-
flee to win the war"
but, Daddy, if the government
pays manufacturer more every
time his costs go up, why shouldn't
a worker get more every time his
costs go up?"
"That would lead to an infla-
tionary spiral"
Il don't get it. If the boss gets
1OGe plus, why shouldn't worker
get enough to pay his rent, put
clothes on his kids and buy food,
go to the movies, and buy all those
wonderful things in the ads, plus
1902"
"You don't understand, Luther,
A manufacturer has to put some
thing away for rainy day"
"What's the worker going to
do?"
BUY war bonds, of course"
"With what? The receipt from
the government for the 1943 in
come tax he cashed his last years
war bonds to pay?"
