ut started when we classified
Weber LAO, accepting his plea
of conscientious objections but
making him eligible for nom
combat service. This was APP
pealed To the presidential appeal
board and sustained.
Weber has insisted on being
classified AZ which would make
him eligible only for work of
national Importance completely
unrelated TO the war.
WOULDN'T REPORT
when we finally OVerruled
his appeals and ordered him 10
report for induction, he warned
me he would not report and
said we could not mduct him.
After he failed to report. we
listed him with the police as
missing. We did not order his
arrest and l doubt the police
arrested him. l would suppose
they merely induced him to go

had been directed"

decided to withdraw from the bal
lot, leaving it a straight "Yes", and
"No" vote for the UE-CIO.
The, UE-CIO national win-the-
war legislative and production
program, which was widely dis
tributed to all employees during
the election campaign, played an
important part in the victory. The
campaign was conducted by the
Rochester UE staff, with the as
sistance of Arthur L. Garfield,
International Representative, who
made periodic trips to Rochester

"The real issue against me was
my fight to extend democracy by
the abolition of the po11-tax and
to wipe out the disgraceful fascist
blot on America, lynching, as well
as my fight in defense of Ameri-
can workers." Marcantonio said.
1921 BILLS IN
Meantime, the first week of the
new Congress saw some 1921 bills
and resolutions put into the hop
per. On the positive side of the
major bills were a resolution to
extend the life of the Tolan Com
mittee and a series of measures
for repeal of the poll-tax.
On the negative side, bills were
offered threatening rationing and
price control, both by refusing
OPA authority to lift ration books
of gas violators and by a "probe'
of OPA, and a number of minor
measures, with nti-labor riders
were slipped into the hopper.
Still to come as The Dayton
Union News went to press are the
1913 tax bill, expected soon and
the resolution for renewal of the
disruptive Dies Committee. The
report is that Dies will ask for
$4,000 as a starter for the COM
mittee this year.

Pay Boost
At

The War Labor Board in Wash

approved the wage agreement en-
tered into between the Leland

Electrical, Radio & Machine Work.
ers of America, CLIO.
"The agreement provides for a
new rate schedule which will in
crease hiring rates and shorten
the period necessary to the max
imum nr working rates."
The aegotiating committee of
UE l. 8O4 has been constantly
work. on the improvement of
rates at Leland, which have not
been equal to rates common in the

the increased high cost of living.

donors to provide the 100000
pint goal for 1913.
The plan calls for establishment
of Blood Donor Committees by
central labor councils in "a major
cities with affiliated locals forming
their own committees to help spur
the donor campaign.
Each council will receive an
honor roll to chart donations of the
locals and each local will get a
similar chart for checking or blood
gifts by its members.
Arrangements for the Honor
Roll plan, which will centralize
blood donation activities in a spe-
cial committee in the central la
Dor body of each Of the cities,
were worked out by the Red
Cross with the CLIO War Relief
Committee and a similar commit
tee Of the AFL.
MURRAY ENDORSEMENT
It has the endorsement Of CLIO
President Murray, who declared:
ITO the worker at home, the
donation of a pint of blood means
little sacrifice. To the men wound
ed in wars conflict, it may mean
life or death. Let every member
of the CIO who can do so make
his contribution to the blood plas-
ma bank of the American Red
Cross. This is the least we can do"
Details of the Honor Roll plan
are outlined in a new pamphlet,
Life Saving Blood, published by
the Red Cross.
Increased activity by the Army
and Navy has considerably lifted
the Red Cross blood needs, with
the current goal ranging about
10000 pints weekly, and increases
thereafter as required.
, 1943-02-03

Representatives of the Union
pointed out to the Company that
the automatic wage increase at
Egry was not in conflict with
War Labor Board policy and
therefore, War Labor Board ap-
prevail was not necessary. The
Union representatives took this
position after confirmation had
been received from the National
Union Legal Staff that the inter-
probation of the Company was alb
solutely wrong. However, agree
ment has been reached between
the Shop Committee and the Com
pany that all pay will be retro
active.
The Union representatives in
formed the Company that any
failure on their part in the future,
to conform to the Agreement now
in effect, would result in penalties
being applied by the Union, OF I'M
ecessary delay due to faulty in
formation being received by the
Company. ..'.
The above report was submitted
by the Shop Committee and rati-
fled by the membership at their
last meeting. Also at the last
membership meeting, a represen-
tative from the Social Security
Board explained in detail the So
cial Security Act. The report was
greatly appreciated by the MEM
bership.
