THE announcement by Earl Browder, head of
the Communist Party in America, that Russia
has no intention of going to war with Japan, adds
fresh urgency to the need for launching a full
scale, about attack on Japan at once.
The New Deal administrations policy of rele-
eating the war in the Pacific to place of second

unnecessary losses and involves the steadily rising
risk of greater losses before Japan shall finally
be conquered

10000 Agents
Under Contract

There are over 10000 insurance
agents under signed contracts with
the -CIO which is the
dominant and only real union for
the agents. The AFL has a hand
full of members, and the independ-
ent union hardly more than 1000
members. However, the independ-
ent union has managed to secure
some membership in Ohio and has
a local in Dayton, with a fair pro-
portion of the agents in its mem
bership.
That the independent union is
unable to represent the agents
and bargain for them is borne out
by two recent events. The first
is when the UOPWA successfully
negotiated the Prudential National
agreement, with an increase of
$3.50 per week. The independent
union, riding on the coattails of
the CIO, signed an identical agree
ment for Wisconsin. The second
event happened last March. The
Independent union signed a con-
tract for Wisconsin with Metro
politan Life, WITHOUT ONE
CENT OF INCREASE FOR THEIR
MEMBERSHIP. The UOPWA
signed with "Met" in May and
secured a $2.85 raise per week for
the CIO members, and negotiated
a very strong contract.
The insurance agents in Ohio
are beginning to realize that only
through a real union, the UOPWA-
CLIO can they secure the benefits
due them.
They realize that an independ-
ent union promotes disunity, and
-weakens their bargaining power.
Independent unions, in the long
run, are usually company con-
trolled and only serve to promote

sion, CLIO members sit on the Sc

is represented on the OPA Labor
Advisory Committee, with CLIO
members on the price control
panel, and CLIO members on all
rationing boards. The CLIO not
alone is interested in the workers
welfare in the mills and shops, but
is also taking an active part in
the civic affairs of the community.
For example, the CIO is repre-
sented on the executive boards of
the Community Chest and the Red
Cross. Through the able assist
ance of CLIO members, the War
Bond Committees in the county
have always gone over the top on

The UOPWA, last January
signed a national contract with
Prudential, covering $4,000 of its
1900 agents in 81 of the 81
states in which it operates. Ohio
was omitted from this contract
because a separate election petit
ton was filed with the NLRB by
the AFL, and an independent
union called the International
Union of Life Insurance Agents,
which operates in Wisconsin. The
agents will have a three-way vote
in the election, the CLIO, the AL
and the independent union.
