CINCINNATI, Aug. "a (FP)-
An So per cent drop in production

a joint warning by the U. 5. Army

that publication of the Truman re-

fostered by a nationwide advertis-

10 Million i'm
Armed Forces

WASHINGTON (FP) - There
are 100000 men in the armed
forces now, Maj. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, director of selective serv-
ice. wrote all local draft boards IN
a letter released August 26. Warm
ing that 1--WE are nearing the bot
tom of the military man pool, he
added that "the only large deferred
pool remaining from which men
can be called is the group of IA
theirs, numbering $3.50, ,OOO."
In July, August and September
the armed services called on Sc
lective service for 966,000 men, be
said. In October. November and De-
cember, he said, "it is expected that
the calls will run close to that num-
ber,"
Deferred because of agricultural
activities, as ordered by congress,
are $4,000. Deferred because of
their work in the war effort are
1,373,000. Of these, he said: "Many
of the men so deferred must for
tn time being continue their work
in the building of ships, tanks,
guns and planes. Many are highly
skilled and irreplaceable in the
present tight labor market. Even
if we took all of them it is doubt
full whether more than 685,000
would be available for military
service after physical examination"
"The fundamental ISSUE" said
Hershey, sis not whether we are TO
draft fathers but whether, in the
consideration of the war effort we
will call those men least valuable
to the war effort"
cit is clear that if a pre-Pearl
Harbor father now becomes en-
ployed in war plant he may be
considered for occupational defer
ment," he wrote. "In view Of the
fact that replaceability has become
extremely important in tight labor
areas, local boards will undoubtedly
give thorough consideration to the
occupational deferment of fathers
a substantial contribution
to the war effort"

ruling as an out for not grant
ing the wage increases,
Not only has the company
management granted the increases
but it has made them retroactive
to Aug. 2, 1912, which means that
the employees of the company will
receive more than II months back
pay.
In addition to granting retroac-
tive back pay and the increase, the
company is including military bo-
nus for its servicemen and pre-
MUM pay for second and third
shift employees. Increases granted
range from Z cents to 20 cents per
hour.
Asks Union to Cooperate
In voluntarily granting the pay
increases, Mr.. A. r. Nazar, gen.
eral manager of the plant, asked
the union to cooperate in future
production problems and keep a
watchful eye on scrap, which is a
major item in the company's busi-
ness.
Great credit is being given the
company for its forward-looking
and wise labor policy, which both
the company and union officials
believe will be productive of great
er efforts on the part of the work
ers.
Melvin Schultz, president of Lo-
cal IL, UAW-CIO, stated, Il be-
lieve the Toledo Industrial Rubber
Co. will benefit greatly by its wis
dom in granting the pay increases
voluntarily. 1t is quite departure
from what we have been accus-
toned to during these days when
most plants grasp the situation to
beat down the workers and take
advantage of the War Labor
Boards overcrowded condition"
Members of the committee are
Felix Lubomski, chairman; Homer
Gladney, vice-chairman; Rose Kish,
secretary; Myrtle FoXe, treasurer,
and Paul LeMunyon, sergeant-at-

clared that the effort to impose
a sales tax on the country was be-
ing inspired by a selfish minority
in congress.
This minority is attempting to

.UAW Still
Opposed To
Strikes

DETROIT, Aug. 21-Statement
by R. j. Thomas, President, UAW-
CIO:
"The UAW-CIO is still firmly
opposed to any strikes in war
time, and is taking every step to
prevent strikes or end them in the
few cases where they have taken
place.
However, l do not believe that
vesting the War Labor Board with
powers to punish unions or strikers
will aid our efforts.
THE War Labor Board was con-
ceived as a mediation and arbitra-
tion agency, not as an agency to
execute sanctions and penalties
against workers and their organ
izations.
"To change the WLB into an
agency of punishment will serve
only to undermine its ability to
carry out its original function. II
will diminish the standing of the
WLB in the eyes of the workers.
Unfair In Practice
81 submit that it is unfair in
practice, as we'll as in theory, to
penalize an entire union or work
ers in an entire plant for action
in which, most frequently, only a
handful of workers are involved
1t is unfair to penalyze a labor
union whose officers are doing
their utmost to maintain continu-
Gus production, frequently in the
face of company provocation.
Similarly, l believe that neither
the War Manpower Commission
nor the Selective Service office
should become agencies of punish
ment. Our greatest industrial
strength in this war is still based
on the fact that we are depending
on free labor to beat slave labor.
81 want again to stress to the
members and officers of the UAW-
CIO the paramount Importance OF
abiding by our no-strike pledge.
We must not let up for a moment
in the production of the materials
of war, and we must not give am
munition to enemies of the labor
movement to enact more vicious
legislation against u.s."

After much discussion relative to
the Charter Amendment, requested
by the colored group, Council fl

grounds that such a referendum
was unconstitutional and would not
hold up once legal attack were
leveled against it. The other fac

be in the neighborhood of $500.
Council voted 6 to 8 against the
