it impossible for the union to
obtain adequate housing and
eating facilities for Negro
delegates. He added:
''It is a matter of regret that
a large American city, such as st.
Louis, cannot provide adequate
facilities wherein American citi-
zens, regardless of race or color,
can meet in convention.
"The UAW-CIO makes no COM
promise with racial intolerance.
When we found that hotels and
restaurants in st. Louis insisted
ass.sS creating a color line which
\ NPuld bar some Of our delegates,
w decided to move the convention
IRON that city" The convention
takes place in October.
The United Electrical Radio &
Machine Workers (CIO), it will
be recalled, last September shifted

ination in the hoosier capital.

Typhoid

Toledo's typhoid fever cpl
demic is causing widespread
concern among the people of
the city. At the invitation of
the TOLEDO UNION JOUR.
NAL, DIR. Earl Kleinschmidt,
City Health Commissioner,
has written an article on the
present outbreak, and ways
and means which may be util-
lied by. Toledo citizens to pro-
tect themselves. We recon-
mend this important article,
appearing on page 8, for your
careful reading.

lots of the city and promised
to give the drug stores and
overWorked medical profess
sion a highly remunerative
season.
Residents of the 14th ward are
particularly incensed for the way
the weeds have been allowed to
grow during the summer, and since
this is mostly ragweed, the results
of the neglect will be personally
felt by every allergic citizen of
Toledo.
Armed with camera, William
Close, TOLEDO UNION JOUR
NAL photographer visited several
sections of the city for visual
proof of the weed crop, which is
now about to pour its irritating
pollen. into the nostrils of sensl-
tized Toledoans,
Ragweed Takes Over
Tecumseh st. between Hoag and
Junction Ave. was the classic eX-
ample of what Herbert Hoover
must have had in mind when he
predicted that "there will be grass
growing in the streets of our
Cities" only in the case of Toledo,
it is giant ragweed which prac-
tically has taken possession of the
sidewalks on Tecumseh st. near
lave New York Central tracks.
ioRiResidents of the neighborhood
IIQYe wondering why Councilman
Czelusta who was elected on the
plea of representing the Polish
people doesn't do something for
this end of town. One of the resi-
dents said "it's a shame the way
this part of town has been neg
lected. ! don't like to go down
Tecumseh st. any more because
I'm afraid I'll get lost"
Many other corners of town
show the same neglect which can
not be justified entirely because
of a lack of manpower, Newspaper
reports show the city boasting OF
reduction in expenses over those
of last year. The report of the city
manager in the Toledo City
Journal issue of August z says:
"While operations have been
changed in some detail or extent
in some divisions, the essential
services which have been rendered
have changed very little.
Scott Park Criticized
Scott Park also has come in
for considerable criticism by 14th
ward residents. Tin cans and gar
bage lie around and the grass is
so long that one resident said,
"they have $4,000 of shrubbery
around; but if you take your kids
out there, you need rake to find
them when you want to go
home".
Residents of the 14th ward do
not blame the city manager whom
they believe is doing a good job
under very difficult conditions.
The real fault according to resi-
dents of the neighborhood lies with
the P. r. system and minorities
electing representatives who do
not really represent anyone except
a chosen few. Some of the resi-
dents even offered to name the
chosen few.
Residents of the 14th ward
between Junction and Hoag are
offering odds that there will be
some changes made in the coming
election and they are making their
promise good by registering at the
Board of Elections in preparation
for the house cleaning they claim
will be made in November.
In the meantime, hay fever
victims are praying for relief
which can only be given by
merciful frost, but which could
have been aided had the rag weed
crop be cut down prior to today.
