give something away. My mother
told me at the tender age of four
not to accept candy from stran-
gers. OF course she didn't know
about Howard Etchen's chickens,

Vote Labor

Ever since last year when labor forgot
to vote. the complaints and resentment
have increased as legislation and proposed
legislation aimed at labor have ground
through the national and state legislative
hoppers.
Labor. through its leaders and its
nress. expresses its determination to do
something in 1914 to rid the political scene
Of those who have been unfriendy to 1t.
Even now, in Toledo and dozens OF other
cities. AFI., CIO and Railroad Brother
hood Unions are uniting and preparing for
next years election.
But labor in Toledo is not waiting until
1914 TO begin It's political action. 1t IS tax
inc an active interest in the municipal
political situation in the belief that good
government begins at home and that the
Mace TO fnaugurate honest and efficient
government is right in its own backyard
AS result of its interest in its po-
litical fate. labor in Toledo has studied the
records Of all candidates for city Council
who VIII be voted on in next Tuesdays
election. Labors Joint Committee for PO-
Htical Action has given it's approval and
support TO seven candidates, all tried and
tested men whom it believes will be
friendly and sympathetic to its cause.
Two of the approved candidates are
from organized labor-Tom Burke, vice
president of Local II, UAW-CIO, and
former member Of the state legislature
has been endorsed by his own Local as well
as the CIO Council as its number one
choice. Arthur Jurrus, Council incumbent
is a member of the AtL.
Ira Bame and Michael v Disable,
Council incumbents, have served this city
we'll and deserve reelection. MIR. Disable,
as a member of Council and a former
member of the Ohio legislature, has al
ways been on the side Of labor and de-
serves its support.
Frank Binialdewicz has been employed
in the County Treasurer's office for the
past 10 years and has given faithful, eff
cient service John z. Kelly, former Coun-
Gilman and county commissioner, is weil
known to labor. lie has been cooperative
and friendly to labor and viii continue his
past record Of useful public service if
elected.
Mayor Lloyd R0ulet has been fair to
labor. While he is an employer rather
than a working man himself, he has been
sympathetic and reasonable in his dealing
with organized labor. lie should be re-
elected.
Give these seven men your vote. Vote
for them by placing the numeral /, 2, 3, !,
5, and seven in front of their names.
Vote for them in the order Of your prefer
ence, not forgetting that since you are of
labor you should give the labor candidates
your first choice vote. But whoever you
vote for, be sure and vote next Tuesday,
November 2.

Frozen Injustice

When the War Labor Board was es-
tablished it had for its expressed pur-
pose the elimination of inequalities and
the establishment of economic justice for
the workers who had relinquished their
right TO strike.
To-day, the WLB is demonstrating
that it has strayed far from its original
purpose, and has resolved itself into a
dictatOrial agency which prevents elimi-
nation OF inequalities and causes more
labor unrest than all the reactiOnary man
ufacturers combined.
More labor 'holidays" are caused by
the WLB's stalling in cases where labor
and management are in agreement than
are declared against the companies them
selves.
American men and women of industry
are tied by arbitrary orders and inter
probation Of orders TO the point where
they are demanding that this dictatorial
agency be stripped of its power. Week
after week. directives and recommends
tions Of the Board outrage the workers
sense Of justice, and millions of Ameri-
cans want TO do something before the
situation becomes even worse.
Sound and tested" rates compiled by
Board "statlsticians," are used as a meas
uring stick TO determine whether an ad-
Justment or increase should be allowed:
but the question is, are the rates authen.
ticI Who has ever seen the figures?
While the average rate Of pay for com
mon labor in Local l2s contract plants is
approximately s. cent per hour, the WLB
establishes a ceiling at IS cents What is
sound" or tested" about the common
labor rate?
After establishing a going" rate for
a job, the WLB tells us that if we have
been grossly underpaid and entitled TO an
increase, that you can have only half of
that increase at a time.

help us show our strength.
CANDIDATES WILL SPEAK
Candidates supported by Labors Joint Com
mittee for Political Action will speak briefly.
Those who are supported by the Joint Committee
are Ira Bame, Frank Bniakiewicz, own Tom
Burke Michael v Disable, John P. Kelly, Arthur

In addition to the candidates for Council, can
ddates for municipal Judge will be introduced
and will take bow We are giving the candi-
dates for the municipal court bench opportu-
nifty to meet you, because believe you wip
want an opportunity to look them over.
A SHORT MEETING
We can promise you that this will be short
meeing. We know you don't want to hear lot of
long speeches particularly the night before cleo
tion and going to hold the talk to
minimum
The important thing is that you attend this
meeting and underst tand why we have given our
support to the seven candidates named abovS
We believe you will want to know what the ssuR
Of this campaign really are, and that you will
want information before you cast your vote
What we really want is to have large number
of well informed workers who will go to the polls
on election day and cast ballot which will bene-
fit them as citizens and workers and also benefit
this city, for no matter how look at it, the
things which benefit the workers benefits the
community, the state and the nation.
| want to use this opportunity to urge all Of
you to vote next Tuesday and ask that when you
vote you give your first choice vote to Tom Burke

port Will tHe greatest GOH-
fidence, and unless we do elect Burke, we must
confess that we are political failures.
Labor owes it to itself to make whatever sacri-
flee voting may entail, to turn out in large num-

candidates who have been given our sup
port incidentally, support of candidates is
only moral until we elect them to office 1t takes
more than brave words and confidence to elect
men friendly to our cause 1t takes votes, and
many of them.
OUR OPPORTUNITY
1t has been pointed out on many occasions
that there are at least $4,000 members Of
the CIO in Toledo at the present time; but that
we do not have a single CI0 member in our city
Council.
To contemplate a great organization of $4,000
members without representation in municipal
government cannot help but make US believe that
We are missing something.
This year, the CIO and other labor organiza-
tons will have opportunity to elect man to
office who will truly represent the workers in our
city government. This year. the workers are being
tested to determine if their political judgment is as
good as their organzational Judgment test which
will be watched not only by the people of Toledo,
but by the people of the entire state. We can
elevate our stock in the public mind by electink
Tom Burke, just hurt it by failing 1
elect him.
hope that every CIO member in Toledo will,
give Tom Burke his first choice vote or if he
has already pledged his first choice to another
candidate for good and sufficient reasons to give
him his second choice selection
We must prove that we are as united on the
political front as we are on the economic front,
for unless we strong politically, we cannot be
strong in our fight for economic justice.

An
Impression
Council
BY Dick Smith

After covering the city coun-
ellis meetings since the Journals
inception, | have formed some
definite impressions of the varl-
Gus members of that body.
Not knowing one councilman
from another when | started, the
councilmen thoughts and views
on various subjects and interests,
which / found out later influenc-
ed their every vote, was a total
mystery to me,
1t was apparent from the be-
ginning that Howard Etchen's
main, it might be said sole in
terest, was legislation concern
ing the real estate interests in
Toledo. On the whole his ac-
tions and reactions to bits of
legislation concerning labor were
of reactionary nature. Not
outspoken enough to arouse much
comment, his ideas We're plainly
there.
Another councilman, Addison
O. Thatcher, was one whom the
observer needed no &-Ray ma
chine to see through,
POLITICAL HASH
Ads popularity through the
years, in this writer's opinion,
has been maintained solely by his
seeming interest in the common
people. His free meals, his wit,
which is at its peak when a
crowd is present, Putting myself
behind Thatcher's eyes makes me
see a handful of ballots with
Addison @. Thatcher marked
with a (1) in the proper place,
instead of the group actually
standing before me. It's COM
parable to Wimpy's vision of a
hamburger while gazing at a
COW.
Ad Thatcher's worn-out system
of running the administration
has long been dead. It's exit
was noticed when the Licavoli
mob was pat out of existence.
Our council needs new life, new
blood and up-to-date ideas that
can be furnished by such men
as Mike Disable and Ira Bame.
We need the continued serious
ness of Lloyd Roulet and Art
Jurrus.
My observation has been that
the council chambers, especially
the past few weeks, has been
used for the benefit of politically
minded candidates who are seek
ing reelection.
The should-be seriousness of
this body has been sadly missing.
Horse-play has replaced the trend
of thought attempted by Ira
Bame in his ideas concerning
postwar plans for a new Union
Depot. A new airport and the
delinquency of the city's children
should be the topic under discus
sion instead of attempting to
clear up the story of whether or
not Howard Etchen donated
chickens and ducks to Thatcher's
mammoth free" card party.
OUR NEEDS
We need men representing our
interests who can find the time
TO attend all meetings of council
and the committee of the whole,
also those special committees
formed, supposedly, for the bet
terment of the city's welfare.
A man whose business makes
it imperitive for him to conve-
niently be out of town on the day
of these meetings should be man
enough to admit he just doesn't
have the time to be councilman
and gracefully bow out of the
picture.
