RAND AND FILE CONVENTION
Rank and file members are showing more alert
ness to the implications of this years convention
than at any time in the past. No doubt this is due
to the fact that our membership has been handi-
capped by the snail-ike pace of the War Labor
Board, the lack of effective price control by the
OPA and, in general, with the lesurely pace of
governmental agencies where labor's needs are
concerned as contrasted with its efficiency in get
ting labor to speed up where Government is con-
cerned
Politics is going to come in for lot of discus
sion this year, particularly now that labor knows
where it stands with the present Congress. All
signs point out that this convention is going to
have some very startling things to say about the
will come political program which will have far
reaching repercussons
While on the subject of politics. am very
pleased to hear the good news from Toledo that
the CIO, AFL and Railroad Brotherhoods are
teaming up politically. That is dream which
have had for long time >and it makes me feel
good to realize that at last we have somethingz
started.
POLITICAL UNITY
Political unity is one of the things that expect
coming convention, and l know that our people
will be pleased to know that in Toledo are
leading the movement which must become wide
spread throughout the rest of the country if we
are to succeed politically in 1914
! want to congratulate the Teamsters and Rail-
road Brotherhoods and all the other CIO and AFL
Locals who are becoming part of this movement,
and want to offer my sincere cooperation to help
make this great move successful.

Entrance of the Railroad
Brotherhoods, additional AFL
and CIO into the new political
organization cannot possibly be
interpreted as a mere gesture.
Labor, its leadership, and rank
and file members, cannot view
the events which have occurred
on the political scene with in
difference, and they are show
ing their concern now through
their only effective medium of
expression, their politica al
might.

OPEN LETTER TO Mr.. THACHER
Dear Mr.. Thacher:

Dear MI IndCItT.
Your letter of September 21 commenting upon
nv article in the September IL issue of the
TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL is glaring ilustra-
tion of your inconsistency. If my opinion of you
"really doesn't matter" as you say, no point
in your writing me.
As matter of fact, am no more responsible
for being in this world than you are for your
presence but | am certain that if your parents
could hear what the decent-minded citizens of
Toledo think of you, they perhaps might agree
with the sentiments which you expressed in your

him upstairs. While this is only
a part of the defeatists' chronic
strategy to divide us from Great
Britain and weaken United Ma
tions unity (their effo4ts in this
direction are undertaken with
Just as much enthusiasm as their
attacks upon our ally, the Soviet
Union) there is evidence of some
riffs between British and Ameri-
can military chiefs, particularly
or a second front.
1t is reliably reported to FP,
however, that new and conf
dental order has been issued by
the President which would de-
tract from the authority of the
chief of staff here. If this is true,
it might mean that Marshall
while in Europe would not be
isolated from grand strategy and
would not be under orders from
Washington. Moreover, it was
limited by informed congressional
sources that Marshall may take
command of all Anglo-American
forces everywhere, and that de-
spite differences with the Brit
ish, he is the only man they
would so trust.
WORRY ABOUT JOBS
The entire to-do over Marshall
arose when the associates of
Marshall, regarding his proposed
transfer as a demotion (although
just year ago when it was re-
ported he was to head second
front operations in western
Europe the press hailed it as
promotion), became worried as
to what might happen to their
own jobs if, as they interpreted
it, Churchill was going to run
our Army.
Thus there appeared an ed
itorial in their own organ, the
Army and Navy Journal, which
is not entirely immunl to propa-
ganda, viewing with alarm
Marshalls proposed transfer.
Columnists as diverse as Frank
Waldrop of the Washington
Times-Herald, who apparently
doesn't have thought except in
common with Publisher Cissie
Patterson, and Drew Pearson,
who happens to be her former
son-in-law and cordially hated
by Cissie, both see in the Marsh
all affair the sinister hand of
the British.
1t has its funny aspects. For
Waldrop, who could never be
accused of wanting second
front, grows very sore at Church
i'll for having differences with
Marshall. Miss Sumner, likewise,
declared heatcdly in the house
Sept. 20 that "The British are
trying to get Gen. Marshall
kicked upstairs because he stands
up for American rights"
HIPS ARE PIPS
Certainly no clamor for a sec
ond front ever has come from
the lipe of the blonde Illinois
eongresswoman, who, when she
first came to Washington, before
she developed hips and a Chi
eago Tribune line, used to make
the hearts of congressman skip
beat even as does Claire Luce
(R,, Conn., today.

reported to have had some stiff

LABOR Is WATCHED
Make no mistake about it, political unity
which includes labor of all affiliations is being
closely watched Not only are the local political
incumbents watching it with interest, and perhaps
some misgiving; but it is being watched else"
where throughout the country through which the
movement is spreading slowly but surely.
No other single group in this country has
political power comparable to that of labor should
it unite nationwide scale with nationwide
program. That in itself constitutes a worry for
some of the politicians who believed, perhaps still
believe, that labor cannot unite itself politically
because of organizatonal differences.
CONSTRUCTIVE POWER
United abor's power is unlimited. Not only
could it defeat those who have sought to weaken
and destroy it; but it could become positive con-
structive force in bringing about the things which
we of labor have sought for many years;
Social and economic legislation and other benez
fits could become the order of the day were labd
politically wise enough to concentrate its strength
in a single united organization. larger measure
of the security which every worker Graves could
be the outcome, in fact, would be the outcome OF
labor's realization of its power if it could remain
united
NOT VISIONARY
There is nothing visionary about attempting
to bring political unity among labor organizations.
1t is neither impossible improbable if labor SO
wills it. True, there will be some, who for selfish
reasons of their seek to keep us divided, or,
once we unite, will attempt to wreck our organlza-
ton on the grounds of organizational differences
But on the whole, | am positive that the average
rank and file member of all unions, regardless
which they may be have an earnest wish to
unite politically for their better protection and
advancement.
Perhaps those who wish to keep labor divided
see in its political unity the possibility of better
understanding in the organizational differences
which have existed and still exist between various
unions. 1t is rather difficult for workers who are
united politically to keep from gaining a better
understanding and respect for each other, and
that too constitutes danger to those who still
seek to keep US divided, while they pick our
pockets and poison minds.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-10-01

1t means plenty, because six
unions affiliated with the Rail-
road Brotherhoods are almost
sure to join the group, as well as
all the other CIO organizations
in this area. And that's not all,
either. wouldn't be surprised if
the Typographical Workers
throw in their support, and l
can't think Of any reason why
the MESA shouldn't pull up a
chair in our joint political action
meetings.
Then, too, there are any num-
Der Of A. F. of L. Unions which
are not dominated by the Oliver
Myers influence, and many more
Of these should join the group.
Now, to get down to business,
let's discuss the thing quite
realistically. There are those who
say that the unions should stay
out of politics, but these people
are becoming fewer in number
every day. II my union can OBJ
tain wage increases for me and
fight my battle successfully, and
if | have an opportunity to dis
cover which candidates for public
office are honest and capable,
why shouldn't / vote for them
and encourage others to do the
same?
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-10-01
KEEP US IN DARK


The reason why people say
that the unions should keep out
of politics is because certain in
terests would prefer to keep the
majority of the working people
in the dark and in the minority.
1t certainly is no tribute to our
mentality to admit that these
enemies of Labor have been quite
successful-in fact, much too sue
cessful of late.
To say that the unions should
keep out of politics means that
the people should stay out of
politics. If enough of us can be
fooled into believing this bunk
the people we wouldn't vote for
will be elected. But with the new
labor coalition which should take
in the vast majority of the work
ing people in Toledo, the old
divide and-rule method Of the
plutocrats will be broken up.
There are thousands of men
and women in Toledo who hate to
see the unions fighting each
other when their interests are so
mutual, and this is the first real
step toward combined strength,
political or otherwise.
The Teamsters Union is strong
and progressive. 1t is possible
that Local II, with it's 10000
members, could elect Tom Burke
with enough first-choice votes to
make him Mayor of Toledo. But
with the Dairy Drivers, Bakery
Workers, Typographical Union,
all the other CIO unions, and the
Railroad Brotherhoods, think Of
the votes which our ,)mbined
slate Of "sound and tested" can
didates' will tally! 1t makes you
feel good just to think about it!
AID FEELS BAD
But perhaps it doesn't make
Addison q. Thacher or Howard
Etchen feel too good, because
they know that our coalition is
definitely opposed to city council
men representing vested business
interests, be it the real estate
business or the contracting busi-
ness, or what have you.
This political combine will not
become a 'racket"-I'm sure of
that. To my knowledge, the par
ticipating unions are active and
trustworthy, the way they should
be-
The candidates for public office
will receive our support only
when we believe they are de-
serving Of it. (And writing nasty
letters is a bad tactical error for
Addison Q. Thacher, even though
he amuses US
We have waited long for this
kind of unity. May we keep it
and profit by it, so that good
government may come to Toledo,
and stay here!
