Dayton City
Employees Win

DAYTON, o. (FP)-Vigorous
pressure policies, including strikes
both in the municipal division and
the schools have won big gains for
the 700 members of Dayton Public
Service Union, American Fedora
tion of State, County & Municipal
Employees (AFL).
Since June 1912 wage raises have
averaged $3.50 while the common
labor rate has been pushed from
SOC an hour to 70c-a 409o boost.
Premium pay for overtime, stand
ard vacation and sick leave clauses
and full civil service benefits were
won, according to Business Agent,
Charles Bauer.
The union is now working for
wage reclassifications to iron out
inequities in the city and school
payrolls. Union dues are $1.25 n
month, initiation 81 and there are
no assessments,
"1ou pay your dues and that's
all" says Bauer.

Profits Up---
Business Squawks

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (FP)-
Big business, squawking its head
off at renegotiation of contracts
and taxes to divert some of its war
profits to fighting Hitler, didn't
do so badly since 1889. The Treas
ury division of tax research esti-
mated that by Dec. 81, U. S. COR
porations will have earned an ag-
gregate of $29 billion after deduc-
tion of all taxes since 1889.
The corporations didn't pay out
all those profits to stockholders,
either, belying the Natl. Assn. of
oft-repeated howl
that industry will have no money
to convert to peacetime produc-
tion because the government takes
it all. The report showed 1928
billions held out on stockholders as
met earnings"

TeomSferS
Win Verdict

SAN FRANCISCO (FP)-The
California supreme court has re-
versed lower court decision which
gave $2O,5OO damages to George
w. Emde and Louis Marshall, San
Joaquin valley dairymen, against
the lntl. Bro. of Teamsters (AFL)
in Stockton.
Emde and Marshall, operating
the Happyhome Dairy, charged
that the union had ruined their
business by series of articles in
The Stockton Labor Journal
against the dairy's labor policy.
In 5 to 2 decision the supreme
court refused them both actual and
punitive damages, saying that they
had the same right of free speech
as the union and that they had the
opportunity to make public de-
fense of which they did not take
advantage.

Company Union
Revival Under
Amendment

ST. LOUIS-(FP)-All that is
needed today to stop an NLRB
election is to revive defunct
company union.
Such was the ruling here by
the regional NLRB director when
he refused to hold an election at
the Axelson Mfg. Co., small arms
plant. The ruling, opening the
way for revival of hundreds Of
company outfits throughout the
country, was based upon recent
congressional action amending the
Wagner act to prohibit the NLRB
from setting aside contracts in
force for more than three months.
The ruling extended the pat
tern set by Comptroller Gen.
Lindsay G. Warren, who ordered
the NLRB not to disturb company
union contracts under the con-
gressionsl prohibition.
The company union, Axelson
Employees Assn, had been dormant
until the United Electrical Radio
and Machine Workers (CIO) be-
gan an organizing drive at the
plant about three months ago. 1t
was revived at the last minute
to forestall organization, which
was proceeding rapidly.
Company union officers, how
ever, resigned and advised their
members to join the CIO organi-
zation. The association president
was fired few days after his
resignation, allegedly for work
spoilage."
The UE requested an election
at AXelson and the company con-
sented, provided its union would
be included on the ballot. Be
fore an agreement could be
reached on the bargaining units,
the decision of the regional labor
board director was handed down,
According to the union, the as
sociation has only verbal con-
tract with management, calling
for recognition and setting up
skeleton grievance machinery.

Johnston Of the U. S. Chamber Of
Commerce to the American Man
agement Association. Editorials IN
The Wall Street Journal, house or
gan of high finance, have been
frank in using postwar planning
to Justify demands for more profits
and more restrictions on labor now.
Both the AFL and CIO, although
mainly concerned with winning the
war, considered postwar problems
in their recent national conventions.
AS revealed in convention resolu-
tons and editorials in the labor
press, labor's main concern about
the postwar world is jobs. "a re-
cent Gallup poll revealed 500 of
average American people" worry
ing: viii / have job when the
war is over?D
Sloan, Crawford and all the other
Wall Street planners say: Just
leave it to us and Wen give you
Jobs" But they neglect to say
how. Big business pipeline on post
war planning leads straight back
to the good old days when II mil
lion were unemployed and tone
third of the nation was ill-fed, i'll
housed, ill-clothed,"
Labor agrees that jobs are che
key problem. Labor also agrees
that it will have to work out its
own postwar plan and use political
power to put its own plan across.

instances where it is necessary for
the time being"
To take particular instance, a
man on polishing job in produc-
tion at the Packard Motor Car Co.
cannot now get himself transferred
to higher-paying job in the tool
room for which he is qualified IL
at present he is more needed on
the production job in the same
plant. Appeal from the manage
ment to the USES and VINO labor
management committee will now
probably be in vain, under the
tightened rules.
Some plants are already laying
off workers. Others are introduc-
ing time-study plans, with both
union and management having a
voice in setting production stand
ards, in order to eliminate labor
hoarding-a notorious practice OF
Detroit employers.

Unemployment
One of the best talks Of the day
was that given at the afternoon
session by Col. Louis Sinders of the
Division of Unemployment of the
Selective Service Administration.
The officer spoke eXtemporaneous-
ly and on several occasions was
given enthusiastic applause.
Col. Sinders made reference to
the i'll feeling among the troops 1T
the front because of the strikes
back home. And said that much of
that feeling was because of what
the troops did not know. He made
an inferential reference to che
bad public relationships which
damage some organizations more
than their enemies do" and it was
obvious that he meant some labor
unions.
Explaining the work of his de-
partment in placing discharged
soldiers in their old jobs or in new
ones. Col. Sinders said that this
not present any problem at the
present time due to the employ
ment conditions; but stated this
would be more difficult in the post
war period He said it was his
hope that full employment would
be provided after the war for every
man VI WOtldIl WIN NdllIeu W NOLS.
Attorney Is Candidate
When Col. Sinders had finished
his talk, he was given a very good
hand by the delegates and visitors
and offered to answer any ques-
tions which the convention might
wish to ask him.
Last reports on the secretary
treasurer position which may be
vacated, if Ted Silvey decides defi-
nitely not to run, are that VIM. V.
Lavelle, Columbus attorney of the
Steel Workers Local 2606, and
Paul Fessenden, Rubber Workers,
Akron, will be opponents seeking
the post.

AS result of the idea which the

Auxiliary
Problems
BY Mary l.. Valiant

Meeting in Philadelphia at the
same time the CI0 held its con-
vention there, the Congress of
Women's Auxiliaries discussed
five problems relating to women
in industry, child care and youth
program, Consumer problems, War
Activities and political action.
Auxiliaries were urged to edu-
cate women in industry in union
ism so they would become active
members. 1t was pointed out that
many women entering industry
for the first time hamper the
mechanism of the Unions due to
their lack of understanding of
the functuous of the organiza-
tions.
Child Care Emphasized
Adequate program must be pro-
vided for the care of children Of
working mothers, and it is the
duty and responsibility of labor
to provide such program ac-
cording to the expression of the
delegates to the convention.
Youth centers for guidance and
training should be maintained re-
gardless whether or not their par
ent are employed according to the
majority of the convention. Fl.
nancing of such centers could be
accomplished through the Federal
Works Agency for civilian recrea-
tional wartime facilities.
Servicemen's welfare was the
limit Of the war activities report.
1t recommended participation in
Red Cross work, National War
Fund and urged auXiliaries to CO.
operate with their unions along
these lines.
Consider Consumer Problems
Important consideration was
given to consumer problems with
the committee urging that every
one support the price rollback and
payent of subsidies. Full support
of the OPA was urged.
Political action was urged upon
all Auxiliaries who were told to
give their full support to the Po-
litical Action Program adpoted
by the CIO.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-11-26

here, it was announced Nov.
20.
The principal restriction is
that a worker can no longer quit
war job and automatically take
new one at higher rate. To
get the higher-paying job now he
must get a clearance from his pres
ent employer. Failing that he must
get the clearance from the U. S.
employment service but only on
the basis that he is more essential
in the higher-paying job than in
his present job. From the USES
he has an appeal to the labor
management committee of VINO.
From there he has an appeal to
the regional board but the board
says in advance that in most cases
it would be a waste of time.
Keep Out New Labor
The purpose of the restriction
and of others also added to the
Detroit employment regulations IS
to keep out new or Immigrant Ia
Dor because of housing, food and
other bottlenecks and to utilize To-
cal labor at peak capacity, even if
not at peak individual skills. With
the tooling program practically
ended, the VINO says, toolmakers
cannot expect to work at their peak
rates but must take what is open.
The former 30-day idle period,
which a man could take in order
to obtain a clearance from the
USES automatically, is now doubl-
ed to so days. Another restriction
is that a worker cannot leave De-
troit for jobs elsewhere unless he
has a USES clearance and even
then he cannot go into areas closed
to immigration.
Can Solve Problem
Both AFL and CIO representa-
tives on the labor-management adj
visory committee agree that De-
troit can solve its manpower prob
lens with local labor.
"There is sufficient labor here
among those not now employed and
among those now employed in less
essential work." says Pros. Frank
H. Martel of the Detroit & Wayne
County Federation of Labor
| (AFL). This was confirmed by
United Auto Worker (CIO) staff
man.
Clearances are still granted by
employers or automatically by the
USES if the employers balk for
discharge, 7-day layoff, undue
hardship like transportation, or
substandard wages or working con-
ditions on national basis, set by
law or the Natl. War Labor Board.
But this means standard for the
job he is on, not for job which
he may be qualified to do but which
is doomed less essential than the
one he is on.
"The bread policy" the War
Manpower office told Federated
Press, ''is maximum use of each
worker in the job where he is most
needed, in the interest of produc-
tion for victory. This may involve
working for a time at lower rate
than a man could possibly get else
where, but it is believed that a
sacrifice of nickel an hour will be
cheerfully made on this basis i'm the
