UAW-CIO. He told the $50 men,
bers of the local organization how
they would benefit from their new
affiliation and congratulated them
for their choice.
Carl Schick complimented the
group for their judgement in MAX
ing the change from a company to
a UAW union and explained the
wage-rate set-up, barg ming
methods and other practices of
the Spicer Unit in Toledo.
Representatives Work Out Details
Regional Director Car rigan
gave general picture of the UAW
and told the assembly how it would
benefit from membership. He out
lined details Of the affiliation and
announced that International re-
presentatives Rittenberry an d
Bishop attached to his office would
handle the details of affiliation.
Spicer Mfg. Co. general manage
ment located in Toledo has been
notified by the new UAW union
of its change of affiliations as
was the local plant management.
No comment has been made by the
company,
Tom Burke and Carl Schick re-
turned from Pottstown, Pa. last
Tuesday after aiding in the af-
filliation of the Spicer Mfg. Co.
company union with the UAW-
CIO.
Both Burke and Schick expressed
their pleasure over the results OF
their trip. Burke commenting upon
the charge from company to a
UAW union said, 1--WE have been
waiting for a long time hoping
that the Pottstown union would
see the light and come in with us.
Believe me, the boys up there real
ly see the light now and they will
be a real union"
Schick expressed similar views
and said, II have never seen a
better illustration of the intel
ligence of the workers than that
shown by the Spicer workers in
Pottstown. | certainly hope that
some of the other company unions
will see in this case an example
for them to follow. For years these
people had been mislead and be-
lieved that their union was an in
dependent. When they changed,
they did it in a hurry realizing
that they were independent of any
support but the company's which
did them no good"
Frank Rosteeer, chairman of the
Spicer Unit executive committee
when informed that the affiliation
had been completed said, "That's
swell. want to welcome the new
union and extend the hand of
friendship to it. We will do
everything in our power for the
brothers in Pottstown and want
them to call on us any time we can
be of service.

MOVIE DEFENSE PLANTS
During recent months many
motion pictures have had their
locale in defense plants, and
what defense plants. No one ever
gets dirty or greasy; the girls
always look beautiful on the job;
the men leisurely do their work,
and at mealtime comes the real
celebration.
The clean and well-groomed
workers gather in hugh hall
where hot meals are served. In
the center Of this hall is space
cleared for dancing, and behind
that a raised platform where the
singers and dancers perform
while the workers regale them
selves on food and beverages or
else indulge in bit of dancing.
Yes, these movie defense
plants are wonderful, but like
the gum-chewing telephone oper-
ators, the drunken newspaper re-
porters and the dumb office boys
their real-life counterparts are
very hard to find.
TAXES AND MORE TEXAS
There seems to be very pop
ular notion these days that the
workers have too much purchas-
ing power and that we need still
more taxes to absorb it. Or
course, this argument is based on
a false premise to start with.
For it is not prices which rise
because wages have gone up, but
on the contrary, prices always
rise first and wages must go up
to keep up with them.
This sentiment for still higher
taxes on the workers wages is
gaining increasing expression in
Congress in recent weeks. These
same congressman who rescinded
the $25, 900 limitation on high in
comes are planning still higher
taxes for the workers.
Well, there is only one answer
to that sort of program and !
hope the workers will give that
answer at the polls this Novem-
ber.
BATTLE OF PRODUCTION
We hear on every hand that to
win the war it is necessary to
win the battle of production.
This is very good reasoning, but
Just as the winning of the war
against the Axis is only half a
battle as far as the workers are
concerned, for we still have to
win the peace against those re-
dictionary forces who would de-
stroy every gain labor has made
in the last so years, so is the
battle of production only half OF
the solution. The winning of the
battle of production will assure
sufficient food and ammunition
to win the war. In peace time
the winning of the battle Of pro-
duction will assure that enough
food, clothing and other items
can be produced to go around.
Yet, although'we could have pro-
duced enough for all before the
war, it wasn't done.
Therefore, if we are to win
the peace we must win the battle
of distribution as well as produc-
ton. That the United States can
produce is unquestionable, but if
the battle Of distribution is to be
won, the workers, through effec-
tive organization, will have to
win it.
The social security program or
the UAW and the postwar pro-
gram of the UAW will do much
toward achieving that goal, but
to get them we must watch Con-
gress and vote intelligently. The
safe way to do this is to vote
for only those candidates in
dorsed by the CIO.

landing in force, under fleet
and air protection, of Gen
Douglas MacArthur's troops
north of Finschhafen, New
Guinea, and the complete de-
struction of the enemy gar
rison at Arundel island in the
Solomons.
The Finschhafen stroke,
delivered Wednesday only six
days after the fall of Lac 60
miles to the southwest, was
aimed at capture of a base
which would give the Allies
complete control of the Huon
gulf-a potential springboard
against nearby New Britain.

The destruction of the garrison
at Arundel, which is adjacent to
American-held New Georgia, puts
forces of Admiral William F. Hal

The landing above Finschhafen
occurred at dawn Wednesday six
miles north of that base in the
vicinity of peacetfme mission head

action except that the landings
were opposed by the enemy.

Possibilities Of critical disaster
hang over the German troops east
of the upper Dnieper. The Russian
break-through to the Chernigov
gateway to Kiev and Gomel leaves
open to the Nazis no more than
four meager, inadequate crossings
of the river. And two of those
are already in grave danger.
1t seems obvious that something
has gone radically wrong W h
Nazi high commands plans for a
deliberate, orderly withdrawal be-
hind the Dnieper for winter
stand. The eastward bulge of the
Desna river from it's rise south
east of Smolensk, through fallen
Bryansk, then southwestward to
its Kiev confluence with the Dniep-
er apparently was heavily relied
upon to safeguard the great re-
tirement.
Russian forces have bro k n
across both the northern and south
ern arms of the Desna triangle,

however. They appear to be con-
verging from the south and east
of Gomel, only 70 miles above
Chernigov. Its fall would leave
open for Nazi retreat from the
Desna bulge only the Mogilev

many. But there is good reason
to think that these are two partial,
incomplete views of the s m e
problem, arising out of the fact
that Stain, Churchill and Roose-
welt have been until recently so
pre-occupied with the conduct of
the war that none has been able
to explore thoroughly, much less
all three of them together, the
real problems of a settlement. So
while they have organized the war
with great professional thorough

longer-ranged political issues.
