Schultz
Urges sWar
Bill
Members To w rite
Their Senators

Melvin Schultz, Local IL
UAW CIO president, has
urged every member of the
Local to notify his Senators
that he is opposed to the
Hobbs anti-racketeering bill, which
recently was passed by the House
of Representatives and sent to the
Senate.
Discussing the bill, President
Schultz said, "The Hobbs so-called
anti-racketeering bill as it now
stands is piece of vicious anti
union legislation. If this bill passes
in its present form, it can be used
not so much as an anti-racketeer-
ing weapons, but can be useful IN
preventing strikes and picketing
to those who wrote the bill with
the idea in mind"
Continuing his discussion of the
bill, Mr.. Schultz said, "It's up to
the workers to do something about
this bill. The best thing that any
worker could do to help defeat this
bill would be to write a letter or
card to Senators Robert Taft and
Harold Burton telling them of his
opposition to the bill and asking
them to vote against it. If enough
of our $4,000 people write, and
everyone should write in his own
interest, those who represent us in
Washington will listen"
The Austin -Wadsworth bill to
draft labor also was opposed by
the Local II president, who said
the bill to conscript labor was not
too far removed from the same
type of labor compulsion being
used by the Nazis. Free labor is
more potent force than slave
labor" said Schultz, "and so long
as the American working men and
women remain free, they shall be a
part Of the sincere effort to destroy
the forces which are enslaving
not only labor, but whole nations"
Letters to Senators Taft and
Burton should be addressed to them
at the Senate office building in
Washington, d. C.

Local IL Victory
Gardens Get
Under Way

Thirty members of Local II have
taken advantage of the opportunity
offered them by the Local to culti-
vate victory garden on land do
mated for this use by the Catholic
Charities, according to Richard La
zette, CIO War Chest director, who
has. charge of the project.
Bad weather has prevented plow-
ing the land, but Mr.. Lazette said
he expected that this would be
taken care of before the week was
over and that the people who had
space would be putting their seeds
into the ground within the week.
Additional space has been made
available for planting on the other
side of the stadium on the ground
near Calvary Cemetery, which will
be made available for those who
may still desire garden space.
Those wishing ground may contact
Mr.. Lazette at Gil Huron St., or
by calling him at Adams 1892.

Unique incentive
Plan Worked Out

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (FP) = A
unique incentive wage plan is be-
ing worked out here by the Drum
mond Packing Co. and Local 119,
Packinghouse Workers Organizing
Committee (CIO), since a recent
National War Labor Board decision
ruled out straight wage raises.
The local proposed that the COM
pany pay for hospital insurance
for all workers through the nom
profit Associated Hospital Service,
Inc, indorsed by the state CIO.
The suggetion has been taken up
favorably by management. 1t also
Weks offered, on suggestion of the
pm, to pay for work clothes,
tes and other tools and, if ar
rafIgements to construct proper fa-
cilities can be made, to provide hot
lunches free.
The company has further pro-
posed that it rent 80 acres, plough
it at company expense, and allow
the workers to plant Victory Gar
dens for their own use.

Hunger Bloc
Faces Fight
In Senate

WASHINGTON - (FP) - The
house April 20 capitulated to the
price-hungry hunger bloc repre-
senting industrial farmers and big
distributors and passed an agricul-
ture appropriation bill (HR24s1)
banning the crop insurance pro-
gram, parity payments and incen-
tive payments based on increased
production and all funds for the
Farm Security Administration.
The organizational framework
of FSA was saved, however, when
Legislative amendments urning G
over its functions to other agencies
were ruled out on points of order.
A stiff fight in the senate is being
organized by labor, the Farmers
Union, consumers groups and the
Emergency Committee for Food
Production, to restore funds to
FSA.
Warns of Food Shortage
Chairman H. P. Fulmer d., S. c.
of the agriculture committee warn
ed that some members of the house
were doing everything possible to
bring about a food shortage" If
the house kept on in that direction,
he warned, you will wake up hum
gry some months later on because
of a tremendous food shortage"
By a vote of 226 to 30 the house
passed the amendment of Chair
man Clarence Cannon ID, NJ Of
the appropriations committee,
farm bloc leader, prohibiting any
part of a S3o0,0OO,O00 fund for
AAA or soil conservation payments
being used on the basis of stimu-
lating production Of war essential
crops.
The bill as a whole represented
a cut of about s400,000,000 from
the SLOTS, ,766,s09 recommended by
the Bureau of the Budget.

officers of Local II.
Adde's Advises No Strike
Secretary Adde's in his talk to
the Spicer workers advised against
striking, telling the men that the
International UAW-CIO at it's last
national convention had, by major
ity vote, decided not to strike for
the duration. He said that the
strike could not possibly be sane
toned under any condition until the
next convention which takes place
in October.
Dissatisfaction of workers in the
kge and heat treat departments
the Spicer Mfg. Co. was the i'm
mediate cause of the trouble. Wage
inequalities and cutting the men to
four day week led to one day
stoppage of work when the COM
pany refused to meet demands of
the workers.
WLB Orders Men Back to Work
Other contributing factors to the
strike vote included the slowness
of the War Labor Board to adjust
inequalities within the plant, as
we'll as the presidential order
freezing interplant inequalities, and
the War Manpower Commissions
order freezing men to jobs.
When the work stoppage result
ed two weeks ago, the men were
ordered back to work by the War
Labor Board, and then voted to re-
turn until a mass meeting could
be called to determine whether or
not a strike vote should be taken.
Officers Praise Men

Spicer Unit expressed satisfaction
with the conduct of the election.
