FOUGHT FOR STERILIZATION
The resolution pointed out that
the Steel Union has been in re
forefront of the battle for economic
sterilization as urged by President
Roosevelt. 1t declared that lit is
an unfortunate fact that the peo-

demand, which would raise the min

cents an hour, the Steelworkers
asked for:
Severance allowances Of four
weeks pay for all employees hav-

years continued service, and eight
weeks pay for all workers having
three or more years Of continued
service.
One weeks vacation for all emf

apply even though the worker had
not been on the job, provided that
his non.attendance was due TO rea-
sons beyond his control, such as
illness, or was because the company
had advised him not to report, or
because he was engaged in official

TO JAW local presidents.
Pointing to the action taken al
the JAW and national CLIO conven'
tions repudiating the Little Steel
formula, Thomas said that all labor
Is united behind the fight for wage
levels in accordance with the real
needs Of war production workers.
"For over a year organized la
Dor sought to live with the Little
Steel formula" he said. 1--WE did
this because we knew that with
out some form of wage ceiling
the control of prices, profits and
salaries would be impossible. La
Dor therefore accepted the one
point of the Presidents seven
point program which affected
wages, so that favorable action
might be secured on the other six
points of the program.
"This would have meant victory
for the Presidents purpose OF
checking initiation and maintaining
the living standards OF the people
in this time of war. But the Presi-
dents enemies and our own have
wrecked the seven-point program"
DISASTROUS INITIATION
These enemies, he said, have
opened "the floodgates to a dis.
astrous sweep Of imitation" and
workers whose wages have been
frozen. now find they have to pay
more and more for the necessities
of life.
The program of action launched
by the JAW, Thomas said, calls
for o concerted drive TO revise
government wage policies and
renewed insistence that o full
sterilization program affecting
matters Of prices, profits, salaries
and taxes be enacted and adj
ministered without appeasement
Of any special interests"

fused n hearing by the sub-conmit-
tee of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs which has been In
vestigating production and labor at
plants Of the Brewster AerOnautical
Corporation, Pres. X. j. Thomas Of
the United Auto Workers this week
sent the committee letter In
which he charged the real objective
Of the investigation has been the
changing" of JAW Brewster Local
1865, and the "smearing" Of the en-
tire labor movement.
Thomas accused the committee OF
excluding vital statistical evidence
on the Brewster situation, one OF
them the result of an official survey
by the u. S. Manpower Commission.
He alleged this was done because
the committee sought only testimony
which would injure the union in the
plant.
The committee was accused by
Thomas of "badgering" and "bul-
lying" witnesses who did not sup
port the apparently preconceived
conclusions" Of the committee.
The JAW leader also accused
the committee Of adopting q
cynical" attitude toward progress
made in the plants since Henry
j. Kaiser became its active direc-
tor.
Throughout his letter, Thomas de-
clared that successive Brewster
arrangements and the Navy Depart
ment, rather than labor, was re-
sponsible for production de-
ficiencies.
STUNNED REPORTS
Reading the testimony" Thomas
wrote, Il was shocked to learn that
you refused TO display any interest
in or make any effort to obtain
probably the most authoritative
survey Of employment and produc-
ton problems of the Long Island
City Brewster plant. I refer TO the
investigation by the Division Of
Manpower Utilization Of the Man.
power Commission, Region "a.
Since your committee failed to
visit the plant, or send its own
investigators into the plant, 1t
seems to me that you might at least
give consideration to a thorough
investigation which was made by
another Government agency.
1.-THE determination Of your
committee to bar out any facts
which would not serve to blacken
Brewster workers, their union
and their leaders, Is evidenced
also by your refusal to receive in
evidence and make part of the
testimony a careful, detailed, OBJ
jective report made by labor
members Of the Brewster labor
management production commit
tee.
ION the basis of these two re-
ports, and on the basis of testimony
by officers of the u. S. Navy and
officers of the Brewster Aero
nautical Corp, 1t is obvious that the
production deficiencies which pre-
vailed in the Brewster plants can
in no way be charged to Local 365-
UAW-CIO. On the contrary, 1t ap-
pears that production failures were
the responsibility Of the manage
ments, and of the Navy Department
itself which sponsored some Of the
arrangements"

Nation Faced
by Threat Of
Rail Strike

Washington. Oct. 27-lNS-The
nation was faced with a grave
threat to its vital wartime trans
portation system today after a
strike vote was ordered for ap-
proximately one million. one hun
bred thousand incorporating rail-
way employees.
Protesting against government
decisions affecting their wage in
crease demands, 10 powerful non
operating unions followed the ear
lier lead OF the five big operating
brotherhoods and ordered a strike
vote returnable not later than Nov.
%.
The incorporating unions called
a strike vote after failure TO obtain
general eight cent increase in
rate of pay which was recommend
ed last May by special emer.
gency board appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The recommen-
dation was rejected by Economic
Sterilization Director Fred NJ. Vim
son.
AS ballots were prepared for
the strike votes, members OF a
new ally-appointed emer-
gency board made ready to hold
hearings on the railway wage dis
pute tomorrow.
Should a satisfactory agreement
fail to be reached by the month
long deadline and the workers &C
tuallv strike, railroads would be
paralyzed throughout the country.
which might lead to government
seizure.
Instructions on the strike-ballot
to each individual employe pro
vides:
at must be understood that II
such majority, as required by the
laws of the respective organiza-
tons, vote in favor OF a strike and
a satisfactory settlement Of the dis
pute is not otherwise reached, each
employe will strike when sane.
ton to do so is given by the prop
erly constituted authority of the
respective organizations.
1T must be further understood
that no strike will occur until all
reasonable efforts to secure an
acceptable settlement have been
exhausted and a strike is sane
toned by the properly constituted
authority to these respective or
ganizations."
