interested persons to contact head

the drive who have their names

of memberships have been turned

how much is raised. This organiza-

berships goes into the selection of
artists except for a very small
amount which covers the small ex-
pense of the campaign, all work
ers are volunteers.

entire season of concerts and no
single membership is ever sold.

Responsibilities Greater

Our responsibilities in negotia-
tons with the General Motors
Corporation are greater than ever
before. The war has been devel-
oped to a higher stage. The Unit
ed Nations are on the offense and
are opening new fronts in their
efforts to destroy fascism.
Our plants are completely con-
verted to the production of war
products. Our perspective and ap-
proach, therefore, must be to
make such proposals that r de-
signed to promote the war effort.
That is why we feel our contract
should be better this year.
There is another perspective
which relates to the war that
should guide us in our negotia-
tons. That is the fact that we
live and work in a restricted war
economy. The only fault is that it
is not restricted enough. That is,
wages are restricted while the
cost of living goes up, while taxes
are levied unfairly, while there is
utter disregard in the halls of
Congress and other government
circles for the building of a home
front that will assure the most
equitable distribution of goods and
services to most effectively sup
port our military front. Our ne
gotiations then will extend be-
yond the confines of the corpora
ton to political fronts.
What are some of the problems
that have confronted us in the
past year. First and foremost has
been the stubborn refusal of Cen
eral Motors to apply the main
tenance of membership provision
directed by the War Labor Board.
It is true that after months of
stalling, they r now beginning

Brown and Brockmeyer nego-
tiations have been in session for
a number of meetings. The last
two meetings were attended by
Commissioner Gray of the u. S.
Cancellation Service. Agreement
has been reached on a number of
points. The issue of vacation pay,
wages, and union recognition are
still in dispute.
At the request of the conciliator
another meeting has been ar
ranged for July %, in an effort
to work out an agreement on the
issues still pending.
The shop committee wishes to
call to the attention of the mem
bership hat when a notice is
posted calling for a meeting, that
ALL MEMBERS MAKE EVERY
EFFORT TO ATTEND. The meet
ing of July % will be the final
meeting as far as the Cancellation
is concerned, unless greater strides
have been made on the issues in
dispute than have been made
heretofore. The shop committee is
headed by Pearl James, chief
steward, and Louis Mannick,
Harold Bruner, Frank Osborne,
and assisted by K. M. Kirkendall,

VIEWS Il REVIEWS
INTERNATIONAL OFFICERS AND REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE Clio

AS the August 5th date draws
closer, more interested is gener-
ated by the membership of our
General motors locals in the COM
ing contract negotiations. For on
that date, so days prior to the
expiration of our national contract
with General Motors Corporation,
changes are to be submitted for
negotiation.
Discussions have already start
ed among the shop committees.
In some locals, stewards and COM
mitteemen are taking a hand. A
meeting of the UE-GM confer
ence board will be held next week.
Unless the membership, stewards
and committeeman take part in
formulating proposals, we cannot
feel sure that they are complete
nor have the backing necessary
ITO put them across.
This union in the past has at
tempted to build a harmonious
and working relationship with the
corporation. In some instances it
has been difficult. In other in
stances, it al be said there seems
to be a growing understanding be-
tween local plant management and
committee that a union is a con-
structive instrument for produc-
ton.
In all our discussions now of
course, we must keep uppermost
in our minds that we are negotia-
ting a contract during a period of
national crisis-that is, during a
war vital to our survival. This
is our first thought.

OF security IL neeQS.
Corporation Refuses
The refusal of the corporation
to straighten out wage inequali-
ties has created dissatisfaction
among many employees, which I'M
doubtedly is hurting production.
The fact that several plants have
not yet concluded negotiations,
nine months after the contract
was signed, on the equal pay for
women provision directed by the
board indicates that something
must be wrong.
I have heard expressions con-
corning a more improved over
time provision and other ques-
tons all designed to provide for
smoother situations within the
plants.
Yes, we're going to keep our
eye on the ball and make pro-
posals that will guarantee about
production-proposals that will
satisfy the demand of the govern
ment for more production and sat
isfy the demands of the workers.
It is a common axiom that a
negotiating committee is only as
strong as its membership. That
goes now as we'll as in previous
years. For our task this year will
take in, not along matters of cor
poration, questions of govern
mental policy pertaining to our
living standards and the organi-
zation of a strong home front. The
organized support of the rank and
file and Of the people of America
must make itself known-and
felt.

The recent deliberate acts of
Congress, passing the Smith, Con-
nally bill over the veto of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and breaking it's
promise of stabilizing wages and
prices, has destroyed for all prac-
teal purposes hopes for subsidies
and roll-back of prices. Under
these deliberate acts of III Con-
gress, Labor is entering into a
new relationship with govern
ment. The national welfare can
no longer be advanced and strikes
controlled by cooperative effort.
Prices, at the same time, r to
be permitted to soar, benefitting
special interests of self-seeking
individuals and groups. W. are
to be made the victims of some
thing new in history, controlled
initiation"
We are now paying the price
for lack of political action in 1912,
when many of our best friends
were defeated and Jul enemies
elected, the direct result of fail
ure of our great labor group to
vote. We have had to fight this
Congress right along and will
continue to do so. We have op-
posed its action on the Smith
Connally bill, on subsidies and
price roll back, on the Ruml plan,
on FSA, and on NLRB. However
we should not forget that this is
the Congress that we elected, or
allowed to be elected, and to re-
member that a failure to vote is
equally as bad as voting for the
wrong men.
Prepare for 1914
In order to prepare for 1914,
every local union of the CLIO
should have a political action
committee. Included in the duties
of that committee should be the
following: (1) Registration of all
eligible voters; (2) Filing worker
voters names; (3) Formation of
car pools to call on workers to
transport them, if it is necessary,
to the polls; az Support the
Lucas bill, S 1880, which would
keep the polls open longer and
thus facilitate workers voting.
It is a national responsibility
for organized labor to continue to
function to the fullest extent OF
our ability politically, both in war
time and in peace time. Today
organized labor has immediate
and intimate contact with the gov
eminent agencies. Because of that
fact, we who are representatives
of your international unions, are
in a position to present your
point of view more adequately
than at any time in American
history. However, too few per-
sons are qualified to perform the
task assigned to labor. We need
to seek out and train others, and
by doing sc now, we will be pre-
pairing for what lies ahead.
Five million organized CLIO
workers sounds like a tremendous
number. Twelve million organized
workers in the AFL, Railroad
Brotherhoods, United Mine Work
ers, etc., sound impressive, but
our task will not be completed
until every American worker il
organized.

to apply it. However, the actions
of the corporation with respect to
union security certainly require
the implementation of this pro-
vision to assure this union every
measure of security it needs.
