Child Care
Cen+ers Aid
Working Mothers

Establishment of nine day care
centers recently by the Board of
Education offer excellent facilities
for the care of children of working
mothers at very moderate cost.
Care is available if necessary from
$50 a. m. to $3.50 p. m.
The Council of Social Agencies
in calling the child day care CEN
ters to public attention say that
with these centers established there
is no longer any excuse for neglect
ing children whose mothers are
working. They ask the cooperation
of churches, social agencies, labor
unions and employment agencies in
calling attention of employed moth
ers to the child care facilities now
available.
Hundreds of children are in need
of proper care and supervision at
the present time according to the
Council Of Social Agencies who
may now be properly cared for and
supervised during the time their
mothers are working.
Information relative to the child
care centers may be obtained by
calling the Toldo Union Journal or

Election successes marked the

The election victories won in Lima,
Sandusky and Port Clinton were
conclusive and were due to the
work of the representatives who

What labor objects to is the fact
that this scheduling of the order
in which workers are to be inducted
is left solely to management. There
have been incidents in which skill
ed workers have been inducted into
the armed forces because the en-
ployers have refused deferment,
while within the same plant, work
ers less skilled and employed on
jobs less important to war pro-
duction, have been granted defer
ments at the request of the man.
agement.
AS Walter Reuther stated, labor
has argued consistently that, be-
fore these Requirements Schedules
are submitted to the State Director
of Selective Service for his ap-
proval, representatives of organized
labor, on the factory level, should
be given an opportunity to check
such lists to determine whether or
not they have been prepared i'm
partially without any discrimina-
tion, and with the sole objective of
meeting the military requirements
with the least disruption of war
production. He went on to say
that neither the War Man
power Commission nor its Selective
Service Bureau has recognized the
Importance of such democratic
checks in the preparation of these
Replacement Schedules.
This certainly is a just cause
for which to fight, because it
naturally would give the manage
ment the power to ask deferments
for their pet stooges who are not
involved in war production, al
though they are employed in this
same plant. Labor would not have
voice in this matter, which, of
course, is the very thing that
Management prefers.
We are entitled to have a say-so

A Fable by
Chester Davis

WASHINGTON (FP)-A com.
mittee from the United Auto
Workers (CIo), the first labor del.
egation Food Boss Chester Davis
has consented to see, was puzzled
by his explanation of the nickel
hike 10 corn he ordered before the
ink was dry on the Presidents
"hold the line" order.
Federated Press obtained an in
depreciation of his explanation
May from a government econo-
mist with a big job in another
agency.
1t seems that Davis did it just TO
make hogs cheaper to the con-
sumer. He reasoned: Farmers
were holding onto their hogs and
feeding them corn at 81 in order
TO get S1.50 for the corn in terms
of hog. The corn belt was lousy
with hogs and corn was getting
scarce, so much so that there's a
first-class chance there won't be
enough corn for poultry and dairy
feeding.
By raising it a nickel he en-
coursged the sale of hogs TO mar
ket, and less growing of hogs,
thereby releasing some corn outside
the hogs avaricious bellies for
dairy production.
All Of which is correct. Only
thing Davis forget to mention was
that he could have lowered the
price farmers get for live hogs and
the same difference in ration be-
tween hogs and corn would have
been achieved.

could continue to draw their divi-
dends, and said that the workers
would ask for the same considera-
ton and an equal sum to insure
them yearly guaranteed income
to tide them over periods of un-
employment due to changes in
models, lack of materials or other
factors contributing to unemploy-
ment.
Only Labor Can Mobilize Itself
Referring to War Manpower
Commissions freezing of labor,
Mr.. Reuther said, Nobody can
mobilize Labor but Labor itself"
Phil Murray couldn't be used to
organize the Chamber of Com
merce." He said that the UAW
wanted the War Manpower Com
mission reconstructed so that Labor
would have more of a voice in it
since it concerned the workers so
vitally.
Wants Discrimination Eliminated
Mr.. Reuther said that the UAW
wanted discrimination ended in
the manning and replacement
schedules compiled by industries
for draft boards and that Labor
should participate. He accused the
management of many industries of
discriminating by placing skilled
mechanics on the bottom of the
list of essential workers, and
favorites in the preferred positions.
I'VE don't want special privi-
leges," said Reuther, "but we don't
want discrimination either"
In concluding his talk, Mr..
Reuther said, "as far as organized
labor is concerned, we are not GO
ing along with any policy of ap-
peasement. We are not going to
retreat any longer. We are going
to make stand" He asked the
conference to get behind its leader
ship in its militant program and
assured them that once Washing
ton knows the workers are behind
their leaders it will listen and
comply with the workers senti-
ments.

also said, basing its figures on
Dept. of Commerce reports.
Payments of dividens by corpo-
rations, the department found,
were about 4ao larger last year
than in 1889. The fact that div
idends were not still higher was
due, it explains, to the increased
needs of business for working cap
ital and a policy of building up
reserves for postwar adjustments
and conversions.
1t adds: "This small increase in
dividends as against the substan-
tial rise of net profits has raised
corporate savings to a relatively
large figure"
The departments study of the
national income in 1912 reveals also
that total interest payments last
year amounted to about $5.4 bill
lion, an increase of 2.49o over the
preceding year and a $50 rise
over 1899.
"The relatively small rise in In
terest payments" Ira comments,
was due to the fact that many
companies were able to refund
their Indebtedness at lower rates
of interest"
A Securities & Exchange Com

fits rolled up by companies in some
SO manufacturing groups, with a
combined invested capital of $28.7

sage by administration and pro-
labor forces. 1t now takes a place
by the Hobbs socalled antirack-
eteering bill CHR 653) as a meas
ure calling for concerted opposition
by labor and liberal forces.
Terms of Bill
The Connally bill, S 1876, would
confirm The Presidents war power
TO seize mines or plants whose op-
GRAFTON was interrupted by strike
cor other labor disturbance" by
amending the selective service act
of 1910.
1t would freeze terms of en-
ployment at pre-strike conditions
and return plants to owners when
ever the President decided they
could operate them ain manner
consistent with national defense" F"
Most dangerous part of the bill
is the Connally amendment making
it unlawful to aid in any lockout,
strike, showdown or other Interrupt
ton, to provide any funds for the
conduct Of a strike, or any strike
benefits.
Under this provision any striker,
anyone who contributed to a strike
fund or anyone who had almost
any remote connection with it
could be fined up to $4,000, inn
prisoned for not more than a year,
or both.

Supported
BY WLB
Wants ''Hold The
Line'' Order
Revamped

WASHINGTON - (FP) - The
National War Labor Board May z
unanimously declared its support
of administration plans for roll
back in prices as demanded by or
aanized labor and urged revision
of President Roosevelt's "hold the
line" order to make it workable.
The board is not considering any
change in the Little Steep formu-
la now, it stressed.
The WLB issued its statement
after several closed conferences
with Economic Stabilizer James F.
Byrnes, during which labor mem
bers were reported to have threat
ened that they would resign unless
the boards judicial nature was
restored.
Order Transforms WLB
The presidents executive order
1928 transformed WLB duties into
plain hack work which could just
as easily be handled by "a mathe-
matician and a bunch of clerks, y
Byrnes was told at these confer
ences.
The WLB statement follows:
"0n March %, 1943, a motion
was presented to the National War
Labor Board to modify the Little
Steel formula. The board by ma
jority vote decided to adhere to
that formula. The Board has not
considered any change in the for
mula since that time and is not con-
sidering it now. The current dis
cussions of Executive Order 1928
have nothing to do with any change
in the Little Steel formula for
correcting cost-of-living maladjust-
ments.
"The Board is unanimous in it's
support of the current plans of the
Administration to roll back food
prices and other prices that criti-
cally affect the cost-of- living of
the lower income groups.
Has Conferences With Byrnes
During the past two weeks the
Board has had many conferences
with the Director of Economic Sta
bilization looking toward the solu-
tion of concrete problems which
have arisen as a result of the
Boards efforts to administer Ex-
ecutive Order 1928 of April s. The
Board has told the Director that
it is unanimous in it's conviction
that this Executive Order is un-
workable without further clarifica-
tion of points which are either not
clearly covered or are not covered
at all by the Order.
"The Board unanimously believes
that these points can be clarified
within the framework Of a reaIis-
tic and effective wage stabilization
program which is in full harmony
with the Administrations deter
to roll back the cost of
living"
