ANY member of the union leaving the Jurlsdlc-
ton of the international Union is entitled to
withdrawal card.
As an illustration of this l will cite possible
case. An employ of firm under the jurisdiction
of the UAW-CIO transfers to another job under
the jurisdiction of another union not of the CIO,
or he may enter business, or in some other man.
ner secure employment other than in a UAW or
CIO union. He is therefore entitled to with
drawal card, provided he is in good standing and
owes his local union no dues or assessments.
Do not apply for withdrawal card because
you are unemployed; but get out-of-work stamps
which was explained in this column last week.
Loss of withdrawal card should be reported
Immediately, duplicate will be issued by maxi
ing application to the international secretary
treasurer, who shall issue the duplicate upon pay
ment of one dollar after sufficient time has
elapsed to make an investigation. The best ad-
vice | can give those who hold expect to hold
withdrawal cards is, don't lose them.
TRANSFERS
Transfers are obligatory where the member
transfers from one CIO local union to another.
Thus if UAW member accepts employment in
plant under the jurisdiction of the Textile work.
ers he must transfer to that jurisdiction. On the
contrary if worker in plant under the Textile
Workers goes to work in a UAW plant he mus
get his transfer from the Textile Workers to tn
JAW. y
In the case where member is transferring to
a checkoff plant and has paid his dues in advance
he shall not be required to pay duplicate dues
The local union receiving the check-off dues shall
refund to the member who has had them taken
out of his wages, and such local union shall be
compensated for the amount of such refund.

does his or her part In bringing our boys little
cheer, gift or letter from home, we may be
certain that the efforts of a minority to drive
wedge between the soldiers at the front and the
workers back home will fail.
PROPAGANDA
We know that our boys have been subjected to
propaganda from the enemies of labor which was
supposed to turn them against US; but from
what we are able to gather from the many letters
which are sent in, these efforts have proved of
little value in doing the job they supposed
to do.
The successful conduct of the war, the victories
in North Africa Sicily and Italy, the progress Of
the air war over Europe and the gains made in the
production of the materels of prove the eff
fectiveness and devotion of the American workers
to the winning of the war.
In the face of the proof that the goods have
been produced, transported and delivered by Amer
lean workers, the propaganda against the work.
ers falls flat 1t could not be that the country
was full of strikes, absenteesm and work stop
pages and the production achieved which has
brought about the praise, not only of officials of
the War Production Board, but the gratitude and
thanks of both the British and Russians for aidnG1
them in stopping the enemy
Our fellow members serving in the armeGl
forces realize these things. They understand that
efforts have been made, being made and will
continue to discredit and dishonor the workers,
that is why your letter to them should be inform
ative and give them first hand information of
what you doing in your shops to win the war;
WRITE A LETTER
1t isn't too late for you to sit down and write
a nice cheerful letter to your friends and fellow
members in the armed forces. 1t will do them
lot of good to hear from you and know you are
thinking of them. and at the same time will give
them the assurance that We at home are doing all
in our power to keep up efforts until the
Nazi's and Fascists have been decisively defeated
This is the time of year when we all like to
extend our greetings to our friends and to have
them extend theirs to us. Our soldiers are no diff
ferent than we are, except that they are far away
from home, letter to them is great event.
Write now, and wish your union brothers Merry
Christmas, and tell them we all hope this will be
the last Christmas of war.

Charles +. Wilson who gave up a job
which paid him $4,000 annually as an
executive to accept the position of Vice
Chairman of the War Labor Board, took
it upon himself TO give the members of
the National AassociatiOn Of Manufacture
ers some good advice last week.
Telling the industralists TO stop their
efforts TO gain temporarily at the expense
Of the war effort, Mr.. Wilson condemned
the interests which are seeking to Jockey
themselves into advantageous position for
the postwar period before the country is
out of the war, and before the soldiers
have an opportunity 20 position themselves
for the post war.
Mr.. Wilson expressed his fears for the
postwar period because of the reactiOnary
nature Of some sections Of capital TO be
drawn so far away from our traditions as
TO endanger the structure Of American
life, and he demanded that industrial
leaders of America Withhold announcement
from dangerous men who preach dis
unity"
Certainly Mr.. Wilson cannot be accused
of being a crackpot or a wild eyed vision
airy. In his experience as a practical busi-
ness man and responsible head of the War
Production Board, he must have some
basis for his remarks to the industrial
leaders of this nation. Yet, there must he
many OF those who had the opportunity
10 hear his speech who look upou him as
a traitor to the cause"
Not all industrialists are reactionaries
and labor haters. Not all industrialists are
seeking to weaken and destroy labor. but
for every Wilson, there are dozens of
Frederick c. Crawfords, a fact which can
not be overlooked when trying TO under
stand why it is that labor looks with a
suspicious eye upon the organized efforts
of the NAM to position itself for the post
war period.

A Different Opinion

Dear Sir:
Bob's Guncheon's letter last
week reminds me of the boy who
begged for leniency because he
was an orphan" after he had
murdered his parents.
Guncheon speaks of smears,
character assinations and half
truths. Who should be better
qualified to speak of such things
than some of the members of
the Auto-Lite committee,
have talked things over with
Bob, but he ducked the issues
because he isn't big enough to
control his committee.
Unity is something Auto-Lite
people have not seen. in years.
Guncheon knows our committee
has been split right down the
middle from way-back-when.
This, | hope, will be taken care
of in February.
AS for Guncheon's accusation
about the letter, | have never
received the communication to
which he referred in his letter
of last week. Moreover, on De-
cember II he refused to give me
a written statement confirming
what he wrote in his letter. Who
does Guncheon think he's kid
ding? Certainly not the Auto
Lite workers, because they have
proven otherwise, as Guncheon
very well knows!
AS of this date, no committee
man | have contacted claims to
know anything about the COM
munication which Bob says was
referred to me or Ralph Brown.
When l informed Guncheon
that the committeeman were not
taking care of their departments,
he told me that | should know
this was hunting" season, and
that / should not expect them to
be in the plant. One of the COM
mitteemen gave me a much bet
ter explanation when he said the
committeeman were "on salary"
so sit din't make much differ
ence." Incidentally, | understand
that Bob was off too, presumably
to go hunting. Did he get paid,
or am indulging in PERSONAL
ties.

The Thomus Proposed

Workers who belong TO the UAW-CIO
are interested in the statement made by
their international president K. }. Thomas
TO the House of Representatives committee
on public buildings and grounds on Decem-
Der 15.
President Thomas is greatly concerned
with the fate of the plants and equipment
owned by the government in the post war
period, and well he might be, for the prop
erty has cost the government 20 billlop
dollars, or more than One-fifth the nations
capital investment.
1t makes a great deal of difference what
disposal is made Of the plants and equip
ment now owned by the Army, Navy and
Defense Plant Corporation, for as the UAW
head points out, that if it is taken over by
private industry to become the basis of
new industrial development, it can dis
locate the whole industrial pattern of
America and bring about stagnatiOn and
social decay in present-day industrial
centers.
1t makes a great deal of difference how
the plants and equipment are disposed of
or to what use they are put, for after the
last war the government sold all its war
time holdings as junk, or scrapped them
outright, wastefuI procedure which must
not occur following the close of the present
war.
As a suggestion, President Thomas pro-
posed that control of the governments in
dustrial property should be placed in the
hands of joint commission in which gov
ernment, labor and industry would have
tl,t L.,
in the responsibility Of this commission to
lease the property TO private manufactur-
ers who pay proper fees TO the govern
ment for the use of the property, and who
meet requirements with respect TO main
tenance of employment and practice fair
labor policies.
Certainly, labor is as interested in the
governments capital investment being
conserved and properly used as the in
dustrialsts, possibly more so, for labor has
invested its money in this war as well as
its time, energy and skill, to not only pro-
duce the materials of war; but to pay for
the plant and equipment which is being
used to win the war. Labor has stake in
these properties in which ii very def
nitely should have a voice.
There will be those who will cry that
the UAW-CIO is seeking TO "socialize" in
dustry in the postwar period, charge
which is always and inevitably hurled at
all progressive movements and proposals;
but such is not the case. The UAW presi-
dent is merely seeking to conserve the
governments property in which labor has
material stake, and at the same time pre-
vent any serious dislOCations which might
affect the lives of American workers for
years TO come.
We are in full accord with the Thomas
proposal and sincerely hope that il will be
given the consideration which it's nature
warrants.
