Paragon Of Procrastinotion

When the National War Labor Board
was established, it was set up to take the
place of the workers right to strike, and to
pffectuate settlement of points of dispute
between labor and management.
Within an amazingly short time follow
ING its creation, the Board was so flooded
with cases awaiting settlement that 1T be-
came physically impossible for it to hand
down decisions until months had elapsed.
During the period when the WLB was
hopeIessIy flooded with cases, the workers
showed unbelievable patience even in the
face of the efforts of many plant manage
ments TO use the Board as boon to their
stalling tactics.
Finally, when the pressure from labor
became too intense for the Board to stand
il. regional War Labor Boards were set up
to hasten decisions in thousands of cases
pending before the Board, and speed up
those cases which had been agreed upon
between labor and management.
Press notices were sent out from Wash
incton and Cleveland to the daily and labor
press informing the public and the work
ers that now that the regional WLB offices
had been set up, cases would be speeded up
and decisions which formerly required
months would now be handed down in
weeks.
Labor accepted the assurances and
promises Of the regional WLB; but once
again, the workers are discovering to their
entire dissatisfaction that promises are one
thing and performance yet another. Cases
still require as long or longer under the
regional WLB as they did when they were
sent to Washington. Truly, the regional
WLB has turned out TO be greater para
gOn of prOcrastinatiOn than the National
War Labor Board was even in its heyday
OF slow motion.
Cases agreed upon between labor and
management require as long as cases in
dispute. Even minor eases which could be
handled in few weeks require as long
time for decisions as those of more serious
import
Labor is fed up with the procrastna-
ton of the regional War Labor Board.
Labor wants action and not press releases
Of stinlung seIf-praise from the regional
WLB, which has turned into as great an
obstacle to increased war production as the
most reactiOnary management.
Never mind the promises, just give
labor some action and soon

Everywhere that CIO members gather,
talk eventually gets around to politics, par
ticularly in view of the way Congress and
our state government has conducted itself
for the past nine months.
Everyone who works for a living and
knows what the score is in the labor move
ment is resentful of the way labor has
been handled. They are giving voice to
their sentiments against reactionaries in
government They are saying they are
going 10 kick out those who now are seek
ing to suppress their organizations.
We believe the workers are sincerely
interested in their own welfare. We be-
lieye they are honest in their resentment
against those who have sought and are still
seeking TO rob them Of their hard earned
legislative and economic gains. We believe
they are going to go into the elections to
do what they have said they are going TO
do.
But before labor can do anything po-
liticaily, it must be eligible to do the job.
The fact that thousands of workers have
lost their right TO vote in Toledo and
throughout the rest of the country proves
that labor has not yet passed the talking
stage. Labor must act.
And the way that labor must act is to
regain its right to vote by registering at
the Board Of Elections and taking part in
the elections. There is no sense in waiting
until next year when the situation in our
own city is crying for solution.
Toledo is rotten ripe for change. Our
city government is contaminated with a
political eOntagiOn that only a radical Op-
GRAFTON can cure, and the only ones who
can change this situation are the people
themselves
rms IS an opportunity for the workers
and people of Toledo to clean house. This
Is an opportunity to demonstrate the
strength and inherent decency of labor
which viii not permit its municipal GOV.
ernment to become the sinecure Of few
incompetents who sneer at the very people
they represent and believe the workers are
too stupid to care about changing the stu
alton.
You, the workers of Toledo, members
of the Go and AFL, can cure this political
situation You can best start by cleaning
your own doorstep first. You can do it by
electric Tom Burke; but you must be reg
istered to DO it.

planning, and dozens of other important questions
relating to labor will be on the agenda of the con-
vention
WILL BE WATCHED
AS the largest single Union in the country, the
UAW-CIO convention will be watched, not only by
the workers. who directly interested in the de-
lberations and conclusions reached by the con-
vention; but by the press, the government Con-
gress and the National Association of Manufac-
turers.
What is said and done by the UAW in Buffalo
between Oct. and Oct. II is going to have an in
fluence upon every political and economic group
in this country. For that reason, the deliberations
of the convention will be given the serious consid-
Grafton of the leadership and the delegates.
believe that this is by far the most important
convention ever held by the UAW-CIO, and am
certain that the people who there to represent
than one million UAW-CIO members will
approach their duties with greater degree of
seriousness than ever before.
DEMOCRATIC DELIBERATIONS
Problems of labor as they relate to the UAW
will receive the most careful consideration and full
democratic discussion This year, as never before,
our union will reach over backwards in its eF
deavor to bring to the convention the fullest me4
ure of democratic procedure, for our union hA

sisted that the much-talked about four freedoms
be ours before we could win them for others.
Questions of policy affecting union, per-
haps for years to come. will be decided at the
coming convention, and all delegates should come
prepared to take part in these important deibera-
tions and lend their voice and support to those
things which they sincerely believe will advance
the cause of the workers.
1t is the hope of every sincere union minded
member of the UAW-CIO that this years conven-
ton will be successful and that from it will come
new ideas which will carry us to greater progress
in the year to come.

ficer or anyone else by saying
that / want you to take a job
which is true enough-but you
couldn't possibly do it unless you
got a second maid, so how would
that save manpower?

a suit against them to recover damages should be
won, their driving rights could be suspended for
term of five years, or until such time that they
were able to make such damage payments.
PROVISION OF LAW
While stiff penalty is exacted under the law
for those not protected by insurance otherwise,
installment payments of judgments could be ar
ranged by those who had lawsuits to recover dam
ages from them
In view of the law and the fact that it deals
harshly with those not carrying liability and
property damage insurance, it would seem far
wiser, and perhaps cheaper in the long run, for
motorists to carry both liability and property
damage on their cars
ANY reputable general insurance company can
provide both liability and property damage insur-
ance and it is my advice to all those who have not
yet protected themselves to do so at the earliest
possible moment before the law goes into effect
Sept 20.
Liability insurance covering the usual $1,000
$4,000 liability clause and property damage
within reason is the best protection that the work.
ers most of whom drive to and from their
places of employment, obtain.
1t is my advice to those who have not already
secured their insurance protection to get in touch
with some reputable insurance company and take
steps to prevent themselves from suffering serious
financial difficulties and possible loss of their
driving rights in the event of accident or prop
erty damage. An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure.
ANOTHER MATTER
Another matter which l would like to touch on
briefly is the UAW-CIO convention.
AS Regional Director Gosser points out above,
the UAW convention this year is going to
one of the most important in the history of d
organization. Because of this, l am very hopef. i
that the delegates to the convention will make 1T
point to attend every single plenary session of
the convention unless there is some good reason
for failing to do
l hope that all delegates will approach this
years meeting in Buffalo with a seriousness
which our situation merits, due to the various
things discussed by Director Gosser, and / am
sure that all of us will come out of that meeting
with new determination to fight way
through the war and the peace which will follow.
