Attorney Examiner Tor the
Department of Taxation.
Appeal for exemption was
made by the newspaper earlier this
year and rejected on the grounds
that the paper being labor pub
lication did not come under the
meaning of the term newspaper as
defined by the General Code of
Ohio.
Following an appeal for further
investigation and reconsideration
of the paper, the Department of
Taxation, through A. A. Cart
wright, held a conference in To-
ledo with representatives of the
paper and consented to reopen the
case for further study.
Following is the letter of the
Department Of Taxation:

All other campaign regu-
lations are the same as they
were before. Laws governing
state and local campaigns and all
primaries are not affected by the
act, Pressman said.
The opinion, sent to all CIO af-
filiates, was given as CIO unions
throughout the country prepared to
embark on a broad political cam
paign to force Congress into line
with President Roosevelt's win-the-
war program.
"Unions can make contributions
to candidates in state, county and
municipal campaigns at any time, |"
the analysis states, "and to federal
candidates during primary cam
paigns, campaigns for election of
party committees, etc."
Contribution May Be Given
Contributions can be given "pro-
vided the money is spent directly
by such labor organizations and
not by agreement or pre-arrange-
ment with the candidates or their
political parties or their political
committees" the analysis contin-
ues.

ARBITRARY ARMY STAND

Donald Shea, who has expressed
views not held by most Americans, has
been barred by the Army from the

on the eastern and western coasts and
the Saulte st. Marie area. Lieut.. Gen.
Drum of the Eastern Defense Com

issued the order.
The Eastern Defense Command de-
clined to give any information on
Shea or to disclose the circumstances
leading up to the issuance of the order
except to say that action was taken
because of military necessity" This
is an explanation that does not explain
and smacks of arbitrary action hardly

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 194S
SPREADING WAR WORK

Calling for a renewed effort to
spread war work as broadly as posi-
BILE, Charles E. Wilson, acting chair
man of the War Production Board
has written leading war contractors
urging them to continue the policy of
subcontracting as much work as pos
sible outside the critical labor areas.
This policy has the backing Of the
American Federation of Labor, which
has repeatedly urged spreading of war
contracts to give work to smaller
plants.
Acting Chairman Wilson's letter
aims to clarity the August z request
of leading government officials ask
ing prime contractors to subcontract
as much work as possible in places
where labor is available.
Some of the manufacturers, inter
preting literally the request not to
subcontract within such areas, and not
being successful in finding suitable
subcontractors outside of the critical
areas, have undertaken to do more
work in their own plants and have cut
their volume of subcontracting. Such
a move was not contemplated by the
suggestion to avoid critical areas.
Wilson asking that this practice be
avoided since it does not relieve the
local labor supply situation, may make
certain plants idle and disrupt COM
munity transportation and housing ar
rangements. The general policy of ef-
fecting as much subcontracting as
possible still stands, he emphasized.
Labor can help this policy by directing
the attention of trade unionists and
the general public to Wilson's letter
