Of the cost of food.
Ask Increased Allotment
Members of the board went on
record as favoring an increased
allotment TO the wives and fam
lilies of servicemen, particularly
those with large families. The
board pointed out that the in
creased cost of food and other
living costs have become burden
some to the families Of service
men, particularly in the large
families.
Full support and cooperation
was pledged by the Women's
Auxiliary to the International
UAW-CIO price rollback program
and food subsidies. The AUXILIARY
has done considerable work in
policing prices in many sections
of the country and has been par
ticularly active in the Detroit
area.
Political action was stressed by
the board in the program which it
adopted. This includes recommen-
dations for a drive to get out a
large labor vote, as well as action
TO defeat anti-labor legislation as
it is introduced in the national and
state capitals.

AS usual, Councilman Etchen

Union Paper Holds Interest
The current issue of the TOLEDO

which holds the shop bargain
ing rights.
Following an NLRB plant
election several months ago when
the UAW-CIO was chosen as bar
gaining agent for the employees,
contract negotiations were opened
between the Union and the COM
pany management. In the course
of the negotiations, the company
agreed to give its employees ?
Union security clause for the
proval Of the WLB.
Breaks Agreement
Immediately following the re-
pudiation of the Presidents veto
of the Smith -Connally- Harness
bill last Saturday, the company
informed the Union by telegram
that due to the passage of the law,
it was compelled to withdraw
its agreement on the union secur-
ity clause.
Orville Beemer, International
representative in the Sandusky
area, stated today that it was his
belief that the reversal of the
company's position on the union
security clause was so sudden that
he believed it to be part of ma
tional plan conceived in advance
of the passage of the bill. Beemer
said, "This is just the first re-
action to the Smithh-Connally bill,
and only what we might expect
from employers whose ideas of
an enlightened labor policy is to
give their workers only what the
law requires them to give"
Beemer indicated that the mat
ter would not rest with the COM
pany's reversal of its promise, but
promised that the matter would be
referred to the War Labor Board
protesting the action of the San
dusky concern. ~

enormous drop in war production
for several days.
The report of the lawyers, unani-
mously signed by the executive
board headed by President Patrick
S. Nertney, blasts the conduct Of
Mayor Edward Jeffries and blames
William Randolph Hearst's Detroit
Times for possibly adding to the
death toll by its false and inflam-
matory news stories.
Guild Accuses Mayor
The mayor is accused Of "timid-
ity, irresolution, bewilderment and
utter helplessness." Hearst's Times,
the lawyers note, carried false
story during the height of the riot
ing that police sergeant had been
killed by Negroes and a Hearst
story "of several columns repeated
the most inflammatory rumors that
were known to be circulating
throughout the city. No truth has
been established in any of them to
date" June 26).
Gov. Harry Kelly and President
Roosevelt are praised for prompt
appropriate action.
The police are in need of most
thorough investigation, particularly
the higher-ups, the lawyers point
out. They "share in the public be-
wilderment, more openly expressed
by the hour, that youthful soldiers,
numbering only one third the num-
Der of Detroit police, were able in
few hours and with slight diff

bran, which is dry eatin' but
makes a regular guy out of you.
We realize that many people
are too busy with the really
serious business Of making a liv-
ing to bother much about how
our government functions. Many
of US were not paying as much
attention as we should have in
school, when the teacher was try
ing hard to pound something
called "Civics" into our more or
less receptive skulls.
Our purpose here is to sort of
review the Civics course, and to
show in a not too mysterious way,
that the struggle we have in max
ing living is tied in with that
most cussed subject-politics.
DEFINITIONS
So pupils this, our first article,
shall be given over to definitions
and descriptions of our govern
mental setup.
Editors Note:-The guys who
wrote this stuff aren't so smart,
they had to look up lot of it).
Now that the editor has properly
deflated us boys and girls hang
on to your hats here we go.
Democracy a word derived from
the Greek means simply governed
by self. It literally means a FAM
lily, tribe, or nation of people rul-
ing themselves. Democracy does
mean, and perk up your ears kids,
self rule without regard to
heredity or any special rank or
privilege. Democracy is in two
forms:-first direct or absolute
democracy, which means that the
governed make their own laws
themselves by direct vote; and
second representative demo-
cracy in which delegates are
elected to carry out the wishes of
the governed in a more expedient
fashion than in direct democracy.
This latter in nations is called
Republic. Republic is from Latin
and means literally from or per-
tanning to the people.
In America our form of Demo
cratic Republic is divided into
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-07-02

three parts of Government, all
operating independently but all
acting as balances and counter
balances on the others.
Our three divisions are:-
Executive: - president of the
e. S. - Governor of State, or
Mayor of a City,. This branch is
charged with the responsibility of
administering the laws made by
either the people direct (Constis
tuition and its amendments and
laws made by referendum) or by
another branch of the represent
ative government the:-
Legislative, Congress of U. S.,
General Assembly of State, and
City Councils). This branch is
responsible for drawing and pass
ing the laws in form so that the
Executive can carly them out and
so that they can be interpreted by
the other branch of government,
the:-
Judicial GU. S. Supreme Court,
Federal Court System, State,
County and City Court System).
This branch is responsible for in
depreciation of the laws and ad-
judication or arbitration of dis
putes under the law.
We think this is enough to
cover in this article and we know
you will anxiously await the next
installment when we shall de-
scribe in more detail the three
branches we have here defined.
Goodnight folks.

Your

By Clayton Rusch

Chairman OF the Food Price
Control Committee of Local IL
The workers standard of living
is actually attacked on three
fronts. u Frozen wages and soar

- Mounting taxes.
This column has already SAID
something on frozen wages ano
rising prices and will have more
to say. The answer to the scar.

later. Today, we shall give some
attention to the third factor
which increases the cost of living

mounting taxes on frozen in.
comes.
RIGHT TO TAX
/ am not questioning the gov.
ernment's right to tax incomes
for the government is financed by
taxation, and money is needed
badly now to win the war, anC
will be needed later for rehabili
tation program and to provide
full time employment.
/ contend however, that the
right to tax is not being applied
in just and equitable manner
and furthermore, the need fol
financing the operation of the
government and the cost of the
war cannot be fulfilled under oul
present system of taxation.
The bulk of the taxes are now
being paid by those least able td
afford it. The funds from this
source, although obtained through
sacrifices on the part of the
workers, are still insufficient to
meet the nations needs.
The records show that 1920 OF
the people own 900 of the wealth
While the remaining 90eo of peo.
pie own the other 1870 of the
wealth.
PLEAD FOR WEALTHY
When effective taxes on high
incomes are proposed, the stooges
of the industrialists and financ-
iers shout that the wealthy invest
their wealth to provide employ
ment for the workers, and that
limiting high incomes would stifle
initiative.
The records show that private
investment alone has never been
solution to unemployment. Ex-
cept during war time, at least
one-fourth of the workers are al
ways unemployed or working on
projects financed by taxes.
Nor does history show that the
real benefectors of civilization
who have contributed scientific
discoveries, inventions, works of
art, literature, and music to the
heritage of mankind, had their
initiative spurred by large in
comes.
These same spokesmen for the
wealthy who oppose limiting high
incomes, raise no objection to
freezing workers wages, raising
their cost of living, or increasing
taxes on the frozen wages.
An efficient and just solution
to the tax problem would be to
exempt from taxation all incomes
Of less than $4,000 yearly, steeply
graduate it above that figure and
tax away all income over and
above $4,000 net yearly, whether
the income is derived from salary,
rent, interests, or profits.

Governor Bucks
Plan to Forego
Silver Dollars

! HELENA-A move, credited to the
federal reserve bank, to get Mon
tana people to accept dollar bills
and forego the use of silver dollars
has resulted in considerable opposi-
ton here. Arguments advanced by
opponents Of the plan include:
Montana is one of the great silver
states and on the prosperity of sill
yer mining depends in no small de-
gree the prosperity of the state. The
silver dollar is a symbol of Montana
and other silver producing states.
Most Montana people don't want to
use paper dollars.
Among those who feel this way is
Gov. sam G. Ford. who is giving
tangible expression to his oppose
ton b. refusing to take paper dol
lars. Others are doing the same
thing and there are indications that
this reaction will become general in
Montana. The governor is preparing
a statement in support of the con-
tertion that the silver dollar should
continue in use in this state.
