Thomas has sent out letter to all
UAW Locals urging their support
of the bond drive, and Regional Di-
rector Richard Gosser is giving
the drive his personal support, Di-
rector Gosser said, "We know that
we can achieve the goal set for our
union by the drive heads. / am
certain that our people will not
only manage to raise the amount
set for them, but that they will
do what they always have done,
and oversubscribe their quota"
War Bond drive officials point
out that purchasing the bonds not
only aids the government in fl
nancing the war effort, but that the
money paid into the Treasury for
the bonds represents an iron-clad
security and one of the best means
of savings possible at this time.
Volunteer bond statesmen are
needed in the Unions as elsewhere.
Many Units are passing motions
to purchase bonds and every eff
fort is being made at the very be-
ginning Of the drive to get the
program off to flying start.
Buy an extra bond this month.

from the very beginning OF
the payroll deduction plan
given generously to aid the
war effort.
The Third War Loan Drive.
which opens today, will continue
throughout the month of Septem-
Der until Oct. 8, inclusive. The
Treasury Department has set the
goal for Is billion dollars, which
will finance the attack against the
Axis and go long way toward
supplying the materials to supply
the Knockout OF the Axis.
Buy an Extra Bond
Mr.. Schultz pointed out that the
bond drive to be successful needs
but slightly more help than the
workers already are giving. "If
each worker will add just one ad-
ditional bond over and above that
which he ordinarily purchases, this
bond drive will be a great success.
If we all give that extra some
thing during this month, the fate
of the Axis may well be sealed, .
he said.

McNuff
By Leaque

NEW YORK, Sept. l (FP)-War
Manpower Commissioner Paul Y.
McNutt is preparing totalitarian
labor controls, such as the Austin
Wadsworth bill provides, to replace
the present voluntar. system of
labor hiring, the Workers Defense
League charged Aug. 80.
The WDL released an exchange
of letters in which McNutt admit
ted to WDL National Secretary
Morris Milgram that while "no
consideration" was being given to
conscript labor measures as yet,
alternatives to the voluntary meth
cd "were being studied"
In its reply to McNutt's letter,
the league said; 80 far, the VINO
has given the country no clear
overall plan for the utilization Of
manpower. Such a plan is neces-
sary to assure the success of vol
untarism -.
at seems incongruous that at
time of manpower shortage the
/ 100000 or SO unemployed or un-
der-employed Negroes have not
been utilized through the power
given the VINO by the Fair En-
ployment Practices Committee.
Moreover, less than DO per cent of
the war housing units for which
the War Production Board has al
located material have so far been
built by the VINO. So far, too, the
VINO has allowed the concentration
of IS per cent of the war contracts
in 100 large corporations so that
certain areas are unnecessarily
short of labor"

to bring Toledo into line with
the terms of the state law, it
has been consistently opposed
by Councilman Etchen, who
even sought to discredit Dr.. Earl
E. Kleinschmidt, city health COM
missioner, in his efforts to defeat
the legislation.
Strangely enough, the vote was
unanimous in favor of passing the
public health measure with all
eight councilmen voting for the
measure. Councilman Etchen's
friends all deserted him, including
Councilmen Addison Q, Thacher,

Members
Must Retain
Standing

Randolph Gray, financial secre-
tary of Local IL, today restated
the Importance of members of the
Local who are on sick leave or va
cation to maintain themselves in
good standing.
Members on sick leave or vaca-
ton, or who are laid off through
no fault of their own, must report
each month to the dues office and
obtain an out-of-work receipt in
order to maintain themselves in
good standing.
Members leaving for military
service must also apply to the
dues office when they are inducted
and obtain an honorable military
service membership card in order
to maintain their standing in the
Union.
Members who work 40 hours or
more each month, but have not had
a dues deduction either through an
error or failure to have check
for the week of dues deduction,
must pay their dues for that month
at the dues office in order to main
tain their good standing.
Mr.. Gray also stated that mem
bers of Units who have passed pa
rade fines and failed to parade
must pay their fine at the Local
II dues office before their dues are
accepted. Proper attention to these
rulings will save both the members
and the dues office considerable
time and trouble and expedite mat
ters for all concerned, according to
the financial secretary.

business meetings of the
Union. and utter disregard
for the workers who COM

The. comedy of errors was
brought about at special meeting
of the company-dominated union
on Aug %, when Attorney Wm.
Driscoll of the War Manpower
Commission attended the meeting
to answer questions of the members
regarding the application of the
48-hour week.
Point of Order Called
After answering large number
of questions asked by 120 members
of the union who attended the
meeting, Attorney Driscoll ap-

Just so. they were put into effect.
In order to relieve Attorney
Driscoll of the task of answering
further questions. following his
statement of the War Manpower
Commissions policy with respect
to the 48-hour week, motion was
placed upon the floor to return the
meeting to the chair for further
discussion by the members.
In the course of the discussion
upon the motion, one of the office
girls stated the office force had
not had an opportunity to ask At
torney Driscoll questions, and an
other motion was submitted be-
fore the first motion had been dis
posed of.
No sooner had the second motion
been made than one of the union
members arose to point of order,

never been in darkness before, eX-

many bright lights that he well
coined darkness as a relief. Or as a
curative preparation for more
bright lights. Nor could he recall
having been alone. Without taking
into consideration anyone else, the
man decided he was the unhappi-

had been taken from him that day.
And nothing had been given back.
Nothing ever could be given back.
That was the awful part. There
was nothing more for him.
When he heard the dawn patrol
it was as IL he were having his
forehead stroked. He went to sleep
for a while. But at o'clock he
was up and dressing. A slight noise
