Note: Opinions expressed IN
this column are not necessarily
those of this paper, bat present
the opinion of the lUriter.
Dear Sir:
Leading newspapers of the
country carried the following ar
ticle during the coal miners
walkout:
Zone mine in West Virginia
operated at full capacity today
during the coal mine strike. The
Warden of the state penitentiary
stated his 25 convict miners were
on the job and he did not believe
they would walk out"
This mine produces 1000
tons annually"
No doubt the idea was to Gre
ate laugh at the miners, a
sneer which would ridicule them
and make it appear that convicts
ers.
Personally, | believe the pris-
oners are still under a contract in
the form of their sentence, and
that they will be only to glad to
walk out. Some of the lifers who
are under indefinite contract"
in the convict mines, would also
welcome an opportunity to walk
out, In fact, if the opportunity
presented itself. many Of them
would run out" and fast.
Another bunch of manufactur-
ers' baloney is about the 4S-hour
week. According to some of the
big shots in the steel industry,
the 4S-hour week would be in
flationary and cause unemploy-
ment in some areas. If this is
true, absenteeism instead Of be-
ing criticized by the big shots
should be welcomed by them, for
it solves at one and the same
time the problem of initiation
and unemployment, If absentee
ism causes otherwise as it is
charged it does, will the indus
trialists please tell US just what
they are talking about.
Perhaps if labor had a greater
voice in the solution of some Of
the problems of production, man
power, price control and general
overall planning these problems
would not be so pressing. To ex-
pect this of the industrialists
is expecting too much, for their
only purpose seems to be to dis
credit and break labor while the
time seems oppOrtune.

but enlarging them
So far as Local u UAW-CIO is concerned, we
have expressed the desire and invitation to go
along with our brothers of other labor unions in
unity for the common good. We sincere in this
expression of our willingness to cooperate with
other organizations, and shall welcome the oppor-
tunity to confer with them on our common prob
lens.
DRIVEN TOGETHER
Congress, state legislature Pegler, Ricken-
backer Kaltenborn, the press, radio, and other
anti-unon forces demand that we unite.
SO far as we are concerned, we are more than
willing to comply with the unvoiced demand of
the labor baters and labor haters both in and out
of Congress- that all labor unite to fight the COM
mon foe, and defend ourselves against the vicious
attacks of those who have seized upon time of war
to destroy the workers upon whom the victory ul-
timatey depends.
1t is our right, more, duty to defend our.
selves from those, who for selfish and narrow reg-I
sons, grasp the conditions under which we live
crush US. 1t is our duty to unite and sidetrack as
considerations that of sef-preservation.
With these sentiments / hope that the time is
at hand when Toledo labor will sit down together
in peace and unity to confer upon our common
problems, and that out of this shall come united
action for the greater good of all.

we must wait long months for
the War Labor Board to come
up with the answer and then
run the chance of receiving a
NO instead of yes, due to the
restrictions of the little steel
formula.
For quick increase in
wages, our best bet is to fol-
low the first point in the 6-point
program adopted by the UAW-
CIO which was also adopted by

being waged on the labor unions.
With this thought in mind, it
is my hope and desire that we
of the UAW-CIO may unite
with our brothers in the other
great labor organizations, the
AFL, Railroad Brotherhoods,
and other Unions to defend
ourselves against the attacks of
those who seek to destroy US,
and to build a positive program
not only for holding our gains,

CURED. The doors of our trade
union movement must be open.
This country must not maintain
an Industrial standard which dis
eliminates against a wage Garner

Substantial progress has been
made in eliminating prejudices.
but there still remains an obliga
ton upon the American Fedora
ton of Labor to carry on and
expand the good work it has al
ready done, so that the principle
Of Industrial equality of all men
will be established beyond ques-
ton in every section of our coun-
try.
1T is obvious that the goal we
aim for the best interests of the
American people as a whole. and
our democratic way of life, cannot
be secured by one stroke OF
through the method of DEGREES,
mechanical orders or threats
handed down from on high. What
is required is intelligent, syste-
matte, educational efforts to speed
the day when there VIII no longer
exist in the Industrial field any
preiudiees or handicaps because
of racial origin or color.

can be given to this declaration

possible publicity, and that all of
