Orders Grievance
Machinery Used

WASHINGTON, July 14-(FP)
Because the Arizona Power Co.,
of Prescott, Ariz., and the Inter
national Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers (AFL) had not explored
to the fullest their contractual
grievance procedure, a wage dis
pute was returned to them July 13.
The National War Labor Board
also recommended appointment of
an arbitrator by some outside
agency if they could not agree on a
procedure for arbitrating the un-
settled issues. The WLB alluded
to its July / resolution calling
upon employers and unions as an
urgent patriotic service" to in
stall adequate procedures for
settling day to day grievances and
to make "the full functioning of
the grievance procedure a major
responsibility under the no-strike,
agreement for the max
imum production to win the war"

to the declared purpose of the
war-the defeat of fascism
and the preservation of the
democratic way of life. 1t calls for
the defeat of fascism on the home
front and the preservation of dem
ocratic rights by our nation which
intends to aid in the establishment
of democracy on worldwide
scale.
Congress has inaugurated cam
paign against the workers of
America designed to deprive them
of their rights and to destroy the
gains they have made for the past
so years, says the statement, and
it maintains that this encroach-
ment on the rights of the workers
may impair the war effort by Gre
ating doubts in the minds Of the
workers.
Finally, Congress is asked to
cooperate with the President by
giving better support to legisla-
tion which will lessen the burdens
of the workers and permit them
to use their energies in fighting
and working for world democracy
rather than expending it trying to
prevent it from being destroyed at
home.

TO Hold
Conferences

WASHINGTON, July 14-(FP)
Regional CIO political confer
ences will begin July II when dele
gates from nine northeastern
states gather in Philadelphia to
draw up plans for mobilizing labor
support behind President Roose-
velt.
A similar conference will be held
a week later in Chicago, attended
by delegates from 10 midwestern
states, President Sidney Hillman
of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers announced. Hillman is
chairman of the new CIO Political
Action Committee, set up by the
executive board at it's recent legis-
lative meeting here.
In it's main resolution at the
legislative meeting July 8, the CIO
executive board called on AFL
unions and railroad brotherhoods
to join with it in a nationwide
Legislative conference to mobilize
the people behind President Roose-
welt in his stabilization tussle with
Congress.
On July il, o,cIo President
Philip Murray, speaking on the
radio from Pittsburgh, urged the
holding of joint community po-
litical conferences by unions and
other organizations to bring Con-
gress into line with the admins
tration.

Union Makes
Proposition

DETROIT (FP) - Examining
the complaint of Rep. Albert j.
Engol of Michigan that war work
ers get too much pay, Packard
Local 100, United Auto Workers
(CIO), in its official paper of
July Is, says:
"We are confident that there
are lots of Packard workers who
would make better congressman
than Engel. In fact, we'll make
him a sporting proposition. Sup
pose you take a production job in
our plant, Mr.. Engel, say on the
midnight shift, at the contract rate
of pay and we'll send a man to
take your place in Congress. Then
at the end of the year, if you're an
honest man you'll tell us you'd
rather have your Congress job at
the higher pay and easier work."

Commission (now known as the
Bureau of Unemployment Compen-
sation) "A few years ago, the
members of this commission were
inclined to be favorable to labor,
but their terms were too long for
replacement, so the state legisla-
ture obligingly changed the law SO
that the commission became
bureau, and members of the COM
mission became members of the
Board of Review. AS worker you
would hardly be interested in that.
Doesn't everyone say labor should
not get into politics? Of course,
of course, employers have never
mingled in politics-or have they?
CHANGE OF LAW
When your employer in his all
seeing wisdom went to the Bureau
and had what is known as "merit
rating" placed in the law, this
meant that they contribute to the
fund in proportion to what is paid
out in benefits against their ac-
count. The fewer the benefits to
the workers, the less the en-
ployer's payment. We wouldn't
accuse an employer of having that
as his motive even when he con-
tests your claim and the amount Of
the award given you. l should say
not.
How could anyone accuse swell
guy like your employer of having
any ulterior motive in having the
state unemployment law changed?
Look at the nice place he fixed UP
for you to work in. Look at all
those nice, big, fat paychecks he's
given you. My-my, we wouldn't
think of accusing an Employee =,
money grubbing. No stree!
Of course if you don't bel>
what this article is trying to tell
you, you can always exercise the
other alternative and go to the
Board of Elections and register to
vote. We know labor has no busi-
ness in politics because the Smith
Connally bill says so. Never mind
that though. If you want to vote,
and we think you do, go to the
Board of Elections, 217 Superior
ST., next to the Esquire Theatre,
and register. Do it now. Until
next week, we are

Labor Asks
For Gasoline

Members of the OPA Labor Ad-
visory Committee have made a
request to the local OPA office to

Certificates must be produced to

The committee further suggested
that share-the-ride system be
organized so victims of pollens

a minimum of gasoline usage. The

Your employer has to pay pre-

knew a worker who was injured,
and was chiseled out of all or part
of his compensation did you? Any
how, it couldn't happen to you, so
what's the use of voting for gov

Naturally, your employer is not
interested in profits, he only main
tains his business as a philan-
thropy to you. Being a man Of
great wisdom, your employer only
supports people who will do the
best thing for you. AS a worker
you must not be pampered, you

his subject, which 10 one OF the
points in the six-point program
adopted by the international UAW.
Severely criticiring the farm
bloc and labelling 1t as "the farm
ers who farm the farmers" Mr..
Rusch contended that under pres
ent conditions, the small farmer
who is the backbone Of our agri-
culture, is being forced to pay a
high price on seeds, fertilizers,
shipping, professors, wholesalers
and food spectators.
Remedy Suggested
After completing his criticism OF
the farm situation, Mr.. Rusch
made some suggestions which he
stated would help create a greater
food supply if followed out.
One of the most important
remedies, according to Mr.. Rusch,
would be to curtail the excessive
profits of those who reap the bene-
fits Of the formers work and pro-
duction. He stated that sepcula-
tion in food commodities should be
entirely eliminated, prices rolled
back, and adequate loans at small
rates Of interest be made available
TO the small farmers.
One Of the things which Mr..
Rusch said he believed would be
Of great value would be an agri-
cultural high command, the same
as that now used In the national
war production program who
would plan production and see
that it was carried out. The en-
tire program should be based upon
consumer needs.

doned by a "a to 33 vote an
amendment to the Commodity
Credit Corporation bill pro-
hibiting the payment of food price
subsidies.
The measure finally adopted was
a modified version of a House
approved bill extending the life of
the CCC for six months and in
creasing its borrowing power from
S2,65O, ,OO0,0 to $4,000, 100000. No
mention is made in this bill of the
subsidy issue, thus allowing the
government to proceed with pres
ent rollbacks on meat and butter
and to institute new subsidies.
Senate Avoids Fight
Although two days before, the
Senate had voted TO write a sub
sidy ban into the CCC bill similar
to the one vetoed by the President,
fears of another presidential veto
and the desire to avoid drawn
out fight which would hold up the
summer recess were apparently
the major factors in the Senate
about-face.
Overwhelmingly defeated in the
House was the McKellar amend
ment TO the war agencies and La
Dor Department Federal Security
Administration appropriation bills,
which required federal employees
earning $4,000 or more a year to
be appointed by the President and
affirmed by the Senate. The Senate
agreed to yield on this issue if the
House maintained its opposition to
the proposal.
Snappy Work
With these two major issues set
tied, the war agencies, Labor De-
partment-FSA, and second def
cheney appropriation bills were
passed in short order, winding up
all official congressional business.
Earlier in the day the House
Agriculture Committee by a 9-to-6

'WLB Is
Holding
Line

The Regional War Labor Board
is holding the line against infla-
ton at a point 10 per cent below
the average wage, Chairman Lewis
M. Gill stated in a radio talk over
Station WIKI, Cleveland.
This is because, he said, the re-
gional WLB is establishing "souad
and tested rates" at a point 10 per
cent below the average, and under
the "hold the line" order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt proposed rates in
tended to correct gross inequities
may be approved only insofar as
they do not exceed these rates.
WLB Speeded Up
Mr.. Gill reported that, through
streamlining its procedure, the Re-
gional WEB has disposed of more
than 1000 applications for ap-
proval of voluntary adjustments in
thespast month.
In so doing, he said, it has re-
duced the number of pending cases
from 2,200 to less than 500, with
the result that decision in the
average voluntary case may now
be. given within three weeks.
The chairman also asserted that
it was his hope that the Smith
Connally Anti-Strike Act would
prove to be of only academic in
terest" in this region. In other
words, that the. cooperation of
labor and industry would be such
that it would never have to be used.
He compGmented the CIO and
AFL for renewing their no-strike
pledge.

Fillard Fullerton, president of
the Chicago Industrial Union
Council, welcomed the editors to
Chicago and told of the things he
believed the labor press could ac-
complish in the days ahead. Len De
Caux, editor of the National CIO
News, discussed the Washington

more unified labor action ere
taken, more drastic anti-labor laws

Ken Hunter, editor of the Midwest

Congressman Homer A. Ramey,

reported to have said that he was

the bureaucrats and is threaten
ing to come to Toledo and tell his
constituents about it, or to ask for
Congress to be recalled for spe-
cial session.
Residents of Reno Beach, when
informed of the money ($6,000),
which is being made available for
temporary dixie repairs, are doubt
full of the value of the money and
work in really preventing a recur-
renee Of the flood. They say that it
will take thousands of dollars to
bring about effective flood pre-
vention.
Work of pumping the water from
the inundated land is proceeding,
but will require considerable time
to complete. In the meantime, Reno
Beach residents are hoping that the
wind will not change and bring
about a new flood condition.
