by r. J. Thomas, president of
the UAW-CIO.
Also proposed in the UAW-
CIO program is government control
and operation of other industries
''to prevent the abuses of monopoly
and assure production in the public
interest"
Proposes $500 Bonus
One of the most important points
proposed in the program was a
bonus for each honorably dis
charged member of the armed
forces of $2500, an initial payment
to be made upon discharge from
service, the balance to be paid in
installments over a reasonable pc.
riod of time; enforcement of SEM.
rity provisions in union contracts
and free education for those dis.
charged men who desire it.
Other highlights of the UAW-
CIO program include:
/. Full representation for labor
in negotiating the peace and in re-
construction of postwar industry
2. An immediate international
conference of labor of the United

pressed his satisfaction with
the remarkable reaction evil
denced by the UAW in Toledo.
Mr.. Gosser said, "if the results
which have obtained in less than
two weeks in Toledo are an indi-
cation of what is taking place in
the rest of the region and through
out the state, then Ohio congress
men are doing to sit up and take
notice..
Public Signs Petitions
Not only are Local II members
signing the petitions by the thou
sands; but hundreds of people who
AaAe no CIO affiliation have vol
tHsrily asked to sign, according
Bf Melvin Schultz, President of
Yocal II, UAW-CIO.
Mr.. Schultz in telling of the un-
usual response to the price roll
back petitions said, "it looks like
the billboards which the UAW.I
CIO has engaged around Toledo
are beginning to bear fruit" He
stated that phone calls and other
inquiries have been made to Local

Kicks Missus
Carries On

WILMINGTON, Del. July s.
(FP)-The Rickenbacker family
seems to think it has a good thing.
Now that Eddie is in Russia, the
missus has taken to spreading his
antilabor gospel.
Speaking at the commencement
of the American Theological Sem
mary here, she launched into an
attack on workers, particularly
strikers, adding with her hus-
bands customary disregard for
fact: II am thinking it will not be
very safe or pleasant for them
when the sailors and soldiers come
back"
She was made an honorary doc
tor of divinity.

Hears
Products
Case

First hearing of the Toledo
Steel Products negotiations before
the Regional War Labor Board
took place in Cleveland, June 80
through July 2.
Little progress was made dur
ing the first sessions. Only agree
ment reached was on a few senior
ity clauses and these were of a
tentative nature with the company
reserving the right to change it's
decision.
Lack of time and other cases
scheduled for hearing preventing
the case resuming this week. How
ever, when the case was recessed
on July 2, the panel hearing the
controversial issues set July II as
the date for continuing the case.
Wants To Present Case
Melvin Schultz, President of
Local IL who attended the Cleve-
land hearings stated that he would
prefer "to state our case COM
pletely and let the company state
its side, and then leave the matter
in the hands of the War Labor
Board for its decision"
The panel, after hearing both
sides will make its recommends
ton to the War Labor Board on
issues not agreed to and both
parties will then be given a de-
cision to which they must ad-
here.
Also attending the Cleveland
hearing were Cyrus Martin, Local
IL representative, Art Brown,
chairman, Dave Keisser, secretary
and Fred Weight, vice-chairman

Planned

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Plans
to repeal sections 7 and 8 of the
socalled Smith Connally anti
strike law were announced June
80 by Rep. Warren Magnuson Cd.
Wash.).
Magnuson said he would intro
duce a bill at the earliest possible
moment repeating the two Sec
tions which President Roosevelt
had branded as strike-provoking
in his veto message. The sections
provide a secret ballot by the
NLRB of workers involved in a
projected strike and a 30-day cool
ing off period before a strike can
be called.

Concert

An informal "pop" concert of
the "come as you are and have
fun" variety will be held in the
Zoo Amphitheater at Walbridge
Park Sunday at $3.50 p. m.
Featuring the 60-piece Toledo
Symphony Orchestra, the program
is being sponsored by Willys-Over-
land Motors and the Toledo Sym
phony Society.
There will be no stuffy SYM
phonic selections" George King
Raudenbush, conductor, says. "The
program will be composed of tunes
everyone knows and likes to hear,
and during the program there will
be community singing and serving
Of food and liquid refreshments"
Popular Tunes Featured
An entirely new proposition in
Toledo music, the concert is based
on the famed pops" given by the
Boston Symphony. Tickets, on
sale at WHY'S Overland, Lasalle &
Koch, Lamson Bros, and Grinnell
Bros. Music Store, 319 Superior,
are only 35 cents including tax,
the lowest price ever established
for such program.
Many Willys-Overland workers
and others from other Toledo war
plants are planning to make
family day of the event, spending
the afternoon with picnics in the
park and tour of the animal ex-
hibits, winding up the evening at
the Amphitheater concert.
To Feature Dances
Much of the music will be COM
posed of the old Vienna Waltzes
and other dances familiar to all.
None of the music will be of the
regular symphonic variety.
The word pop" as applied to
this type of concert is an abb
breviation of the word popular, re-
ferring to the type of music
played. This type of musical pro-
gram, which includes the serving
of refreshments, originated in the
last century in London, but they
can be traced back to the 18th
century to Vienna cafes. AS the
concerts are known today, they
were revived for American con-
sumption by the Boston and
Minneapolis orchestras.

Jones Takes
Over WEA
Supports Price
Subsidies

WASHINGTON (FP) ! Marvin
Jones officially assumed his duties
as the new War Food Adrninistra-
tion chief June 20, marking an end
to Chester c. Davis three-month
campaign of behind-the-lines war
fare against administration food
policies.
In his first statement issued after
taking office, Jones SHE'D away
from the current controversy on
food subsidies and price rollbacks,
sticking closely to his plans for
increasing food production and
helping the farmer.
Jones' support of the Presidents
subsidy program is unquestioned,
however. He has already informed
Davis aides that he intends to
carry through the Presidents food
policies and has asked those who
"can go along with this program"
to remain.
The VIA head dismissed rumors
of acute food shortages with the
C m m n t that "we may not
throughout the war have all we
want and everything we prefer,
but we will certainly have enough
to assure a healthful diet"
The program proposed by Jones
calls for ~ a full allotment of
materials for new machines, sup
plies, repair parts, shelter and
storage; 90 an adequate farm Ia
Dor policy; (9) a feed and credit
program; and (4) fair return to
the farmer "related to other prices
in fairness to all"

Workers Will Support Drive
Every CIO Local in the city has
pledged its support to the fund
drive. Approximately $4,000 work
ers affiliated with the AZ Locals
of the Council will be asked to
donate to the fund and will turn
out to see the end of the drive
at Swayne Field, July 10.
Public officials and heads %
many large Toledo industries hay
iicated their complete approx .
n this worthwhile undertaking
"a have pledged their support.
Mayor Lloyd Roulet has given his
unqualified backing to the drive,
and expressed the opinion that it
is one of the finest things we can
do for the servicemen.
Arrangements have been made
with the War Department to
deliver the cigarettes overseas.
They will be sent to Toledo SOL
diers, sailors, marines, WAVES,
WACS and every branch of the
service. Boys in North Africa,
Australia, Solemn Islands, Alas
ka. and every place in the world
will be remembered.
Public Asked To Give
The public is also invited to
donate to the fund and may send
their money to the CIO Council.
Gil Huron st. A cartoon of ciga-
rettes will cost only so cents, and
all those who donate this amount
or more will be given a card to

held in Toledo May "a, at
which time Local IL gave evil
dence that it possesses a ma
jority of the employees who had
signified their desire to have Local
IL represent them.
Drive Began in November
The organizational drive at Tank
Depot began last November under
Harold Dean, Local IL representa-
tive. At the time the organizational
work began, the Tank Depot en-
ployed about 600 people. Since
then, hundreds of additional people
have been put to work, the vast
majority of whom have Joined Lo-
cal IL.
Delap in securing hearing and
vote for the workers at Tank Depot
was occasioned to a considerable
extent by the increase in employees
in the plant. Despite this, the work
has gone on uninterrupted and has
at last reached the point where
the workers may express their
choice.

ton, the NLRB ruled that all en-

Criticizes
Maxon

DETROIT, Mich. July 6-Presi-
dent r. ]. Thomas criticized Prem
tiss Browns clearing Of Lou r.
Maxon and his advertising agency
as ga coat of whitewash, and a
very thin one at that, in a state
ment here July 3. Mr.. Browns
statement that the issuance Of ex-
cessive food points for the Maxon
luxury lodge at Onway, Mich,
was due to a clerical mistake was
labeled by the UAW head as
nonsense.
Thomas accused Maxon, Inc, Of
taking advantage of the position
held by its head in the OPA and
sent its application for food for
the lodge to the OPA district Of
flee instead of the rationing board.
In addition to accusing Maxon
Of making his request through the
district office, Thomas pointed out
that Maxon must have observed
during his trips to the ledge that
OPA regulations were being
violated, and said that the Maxon
lodge was not used as Brown said,
largely for Maxon employees and
their families for vacations; but
for clients and personal friends.
Maxon Took Advantage
Thomas said, "the best defense
that can be made of Maxon and
his company is that they took
advantage of the so-called "mis-
take" to obtain privileges which
the common citizen is denied. 1t
would be nearer the truth, how
ever, to say that Maxon, Inc,
violated OPA regulations with the
knowledge of Lou Maxon."
Thomas again called for Max
on's dismissal from the OPA not
merely because of the facts of
the luxury lodge scandal; but be-
cause he, Maxon, should not be al
lowed to continue serving his ad-
vertising clients and other food
interests under the cloak of public
office.
