Local ITS announces a pre-
election rally to be held on Thurs
day, June oath at the Biltmore
Hotel. Acting officers of the 10
cal, Bill Munger, president; Mark
Flad, secretary, and Fred Riepen-
hoff, treasurer, have been success
full in getting UWOC-CIO Ma
tional Chairman Harold J. Straub,
of New York to speak at this
meeting Brother Straub is a
former utility company employee,
having spent most of his life work.
ing for utility companies and
having become connected with the
labor movement when he realized
the gross injustice being perpe-
trated upon the utility workers
of the nation. Last November,
President Phillip Murray of CLIO,
recognizing the wonderful growth
of UWOC-CIO under Brother
Straub's direction as national di-
rector of organization, appointed
him, upon the approval of the
CLIO executive board, UWOC
chairman. Since that time several
fine contracts have been signed
with Pacific Gas and Electric of
California; Consumer Power of
Michigan and many other COM
panies. UWOC-CIO has many ex-
cellent contracts with utility COM
panies in the state of Ohio.
President E. J. Kraft, of Delco
UE-C1O Local 755, will be the
other principal speaker at this
rally. Jim Kraft has been a
power behind the CIO Labor
Movement in Dayton for many
years and is generally considered
as one of the outstanding local
union officials in Ohio. Jim is
personally acquainted with many
of the employees of the Light
Company and many members of
his local union are related to en-
ployees of the Dayton Power and
Light Company.
The executive board of the
Montgomery County CLIO Council
has endorsed this campaign and
the Council has requested that
every Go member in this area get
behind the drive and insure a
winning election by a great ma
iority.
The Utility Workers Organizing
and Local IT'S wishes
to extend their thanks to
all the Go leaders and members
who have participated in this drive
and asks that no effort be spared
to insure hat all electricity, gas
and steam produced in Dayton
be CLIO produced. Every CIO or
gained plant in Dayton receives
these commodities from the Day
ton Pomer and Light Company.
Good luck, Dayton Power and
Light workers. You have within
your reach the golden opportunity
Of your lifetime. We want you to
share in the great benefits end
joyed by other CLIO workers in
Dayton and know that you will
not fail to go over the top-but

OLner points Oh the huge utAlAIy !
UWOC CLIO National Repre-
sentative Francis M. Mcmahon,
who is in charge of the campaign
to organize the DP&L workers in
the fast-growing CLIO utility
union, informs the DAYTON
UNION NEWS that it has been
the policy of the large utility
trusts over the years to build up
a step rate system which is n
tirely unfair to the employees of
these companies and that the Day.
ton Power and Light Company
has followed this same line of
reasoning, feeling that a great
show of paternalism, such as pic
mics, educational schools, which
are no more than company propa-
ganda cells instituted by the
Power Institute and other minor
"favors" would make up for the
poor pay, generally bad working
conditions and the aforementioned
"step rate" system. Utility en-
ployees all over the nation, how
ever, have finally wised up to
these schemes and feel that a good,
solid, honest UWOC-CIo agree
ment, with good working condi-
tons and an equality of wages
with employees in other indus
tries is better than a pat on the
back and a light pay envelope.
The employees of utility COM
panies working under UWOC-CIO
contracts do not have to depend
upon company "gratuities." They
have good contracts, good working
conditions and good salaries. These
rights are guaranteed to the work.
ers by their UWOC-CIO contracts.
Strong, militant committeeman
and stewards with the backing of
their local union and the National
UWOC-CIO force the companies
to live up to the letter of the con-
tracts. Benefits, if any, that the
workers have enjoyed before they
have chosen the UWOC-C1O to
bargain for them have never been
taken away-more benefits have
been added to those they might
have had. For instance, sick bene-
fits. The practice of the utility
companies has been to have a
fluctuating scale of sick benefits.
II you happened to be a friend of
a friend of a friend and have
three years service you would
probably receive more in the way
of a sick benefit than If you hap
pened to be a good, hard work.
ing man or woman with many
years of service. Under the CIO
the sick benefit clause is incor-
porated in the contract. Many
utility workers who, because of
their company built UP conserva-
tism, have not been union minded
have ,yr;ttea tn the National Union
and said: "Thank God for the
UWOC-CIO - we have never
known what it was to be indie
pendent until we saw what the
union has done for U.s." Many of
these workers who were openly
antagonistic toward the union are
now enthusiastic and hard work

accompany him in her car when he
escaped from the institution Thurs

Miss Murray, a technician at the

last night and gasped to the bar
tender:

Later the girl told Detective Capt.

automobile with him as he drove
about Eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
Miss Murray said that what she
first thought to be "black auto

to be a carved piece of soap which
he gave her before putting her out
of the car in Camden. The car was
later found abandoned.
