Hits Wildcat Strikes
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. pr. J. Thomas,
president Of the United Automobile
Workers. CIO. gave President Roose-
welt the nod for q fourth term over
either Gov. Bricker of Ohio or Gov.
Dewey of New York in addressing q
rally of Ford Motor Co. employees
here yesterday.
This Nation can use a little more
OF the New Deal" Mr.. Thomas told
members of Ford Local 900, UAW.
CIO. while the JAWS attitude on
President Roosevelt remains a quail
ified Endorsement, if the Republican
party nominates John o. Bricker or
Thomas Dewey in 1914, can tell you
right now who am going to vote
for and it won't be either of those
men,"
Mr.. Thomas aSsailed unauthorized
strikes as detrimental to the war
effort and to the cause of unionism
as we'll.
Il would rather die Of starvation
than have a brother killed by a
Nazi bullet" he declared THE most
important thing for a union to do
now is to end the war as quickly as
possible and the only means of re-
alizing this goal is to abide by our
no-strike pledge.
I'm in favor of breaking the Little
Steel formula" he added, but this
cannot be accomplished by a series
of wildcat strikes. The only way
this can be accomplished is by united
pressure, not individual pressure"

WEEKEND BUYING
FURRY REPORTED
Meat Shortage Acute; RAJ
tiOning of Butter, Oils
Welcomed By Stores

Announcement by the OPA of a
freeze on sales Of butter, shorten
ing and oils did not come as sur
prise to local consumers and re-
tailers who last weekend watched
supplies virtually disappear. In
preparation for the rationing which
will start March 90, housewives
stormed grocery stores last week in
an effort to obtain extra supplies of
butter, cheese, and fats. before cou-
pom requirements take effect.
This week retailers will stock the
"frozen" commodities. Many Of them
said this morning they expected an
OPA freeze and pointed out that
without 1t II would be impossible for
them to keep sufilcient supplies for
the start Of the rationing period.
Sales Of cheese and meats, however,
were not affected by the restriction
which was applied at 1901 a. m. to-
day.
A severe meat shortage was felt
In the city Saturday as 1t has been
on many preceding week-ends. No
doSuLh LACC WAC BAbGu Wy |E n OAAASAuA'
that the condition would be ale
Waited when rationing Of meats sets
in. but the belief has been express
ed that under rationing distribution
would eventually be equalized SO
that all localities will receive suf-
flcient supplies TO meet the ration
demands Of consumers.
Canned goods, meanwhile, are
selling in larger amounts than in
the first two weeks of the point ra-
tioning program, retailers report
with only little more than week
left for use Of March coupons
housewives who had been depending
on home-stored supplies are now
marketing again to meet the coupon
deadline.
To acquaint institutional opera
tors and manufacturers who use
meat. butter, cheese. and oils with
the new rationing regulations. the
OPA has arranged a special educa-
tional meeting for Wednesday at Q
D. m. at Crosby High school Next
Monday has been set as the date for
the new rations of institutional
users.
