You've heard of Andy Phillip of

JAW Asks
For Vacation
Gasoline

DETROIT, May, 10.-Victor G..
Reuther, assistant director of the
war policy division, UAW-C1O, has
asked the Office of Price Admin
istration for issuance of special
gasoline ration coupons for work
ers to take vacation furloughs." I"
Reuther urged Prentiss Brown,
OPA administrator, to grant the
gasoline in order to permit war
workers on bona fide vacations the
opportunity to get away from the
crowded industrial centers in order
to fish or take suitable vacations.
He told the OPA head that the
mileage should be limited to 500
miles and that the issuance of the
vacation coupons could be handled
efficiently and impartially through
the OPA factory management COM
mittees.
The request was made to the
OPA head because Of the statement
of the heads of various war agen-
cies urging industry to grant va
cations with pay to their workers
this year, and stressing the i'm
portant effect which such vacation
furloughs have on building labor
morale and stimulating increased
production.

.Anfi-Sfrike
Bill, S 796

WASHINGTON - (FP) - The
Connally bill Is 1861 passed this
week in the senate and now pend
ing in the house "is diabolical in
intent" and designed to assure
Roman holiday to all employers
who still prefer to destroy labor
unions rather than to win the
war;" CIO Pres. Philip Murray
wrote May to all members of
the house.
There must be an end to this
war against labor in order that the
effort Of the entire nation can be
modified in war to destroy Hit
ler and our Axis enemies" he said,
urging the house to hold public
hearings on the bill and allow or
ganized labor representatives to
testify.
Murray asserted that the CIO
"has been conscientiously observ-
ing the no-strike pledge given to
the President" and that while the
CIO has many grievances it "shall
seek their equitable adjust m n
through the War Labor Board, thus
assuring continuity of production"
The Connally bill would make
WLB decisions Subject to court
review whenever any employer de-
cids to appeal to court" Murray
pointed out.
Thus, while labor will observe
its no-strike pledge, employers who
seek to destroy the union will re-
fuse to comply with the decision of
the Board, refrain from entering
into a collective bargaining agree
ment with the union, continue to dis
criminate against the membership
and leaders of the union, while
using every technicality for obtain
ing delay in the judicial proceed
ing."
