Mr.. Tull stated that it was his
belief that the Troy situation was
little different than that met with
by the UAW in other towns and
said, Il don't believe this small
town paper will be able to destroy
our efforts to give the workers the
benefits of an organization which
has proven its value to over one
million members throughout the
United States. | think the workers
are smart enough to see through
the Daily News propaganda and
will not be stopped by its campaign
to keep them divided"
Commenting on the News article
that Troy was not large enough or
prosperous enough to stand the
strain of unionization, Tull said,
This is a ridiculous argument.
Plants are not moving to other
towns nowadays because of unions.
They might as well stay where they
are, because we are going to organ
ize them anyhow. We might not
succeed the first time, as the News
points out, but eventually the work.
ers wake up to what papers like
the News are trying to do to them,
and form strong unions. l think the
News is barking up the wrong tree;
but let it bark-see who gets in the
last bite.

Toledo Labor Tells
OF Regional WLB

public relations men which had
gone wrong. Nobody on labor's
side seemed to disagree that the
meeting, so far as anything con-
structive was concerned, was to-
tai flop and that everybody might
as we'll have stayed home or gone
to a show or a union meeting.
In addition to l.. M. Gill, the
members of the regional WLB Ar-
tending the meeting were Owen
Dixon and Lemuel Marklant of the
CIO; Jesse Gallagher and Frank
Vincent of the AFL; Thomas
Young, vice-chairman; A. C. Herold
and DR.. Edison L. Bowers repre-
senting the public. J NJ. Gam

WLB also attended the meeting.
Members of the WLB including
Frank Graper and Charles Jehant,
industry members, attended a ban
quet given IN their honor by the
Toledo Chamber of Commerce,
headed by C. E. Swartzbaugh,
President of the Swartzbaugh Man
ufacturing Co. at the Commodore
Perry Hotel, Wednesday night.

were unanimous decisions OF
the 600 delegates to the Sixth
CIO convention here Nov. 2.
"We pledge all our strength in
support of these (Moscow con-
feren<e) decisions" the conven-
ton said, "and will stand united
with all other citizens behind our
commander-in-chief in order that
America may honor its sacred
obligations"
Proposal to scrap the Little
Steel formula, in effect since May
1912, came in an unanimous joint
declaration adopted at an extra
ordinary meeting of the CIO ex-
ecutive board during the noon re-
cess. Most of the afternoon ses-
sion was given to discussion of it
before Pres. Philip Murray called
for a rising vote. Applause greet
ed the vote.
Because congress has sabotaged
administration rollback policies,
the declaration contended, the
present wage policy of the gov
ernment is mo longer in accord
with reality" Collective bargain
ing, it continued, must be freed to
secure the industry-wide stabili.
zation of wage structure.
Speakers, particularly Murray
and Presidents Reid Robinson of
Init. Union of Mine Mill & Smelt-
er and Lewis Merrill of United

secution of the war. They insisted

Labor Is Pleased
Labor leaders in Toledo are MAX
ing no effort to hide their pleasure
in the election of Tom Burke TO
Council. 1t is the first time that
labor candidate with labor back
ing has been elected to public office
in the city government, and labor
is elated at the outcome.
Richard Gosser in a statement
released to the press said, Il want
to thank all those who voted for
Tom Burke, as well as those who
worked in his behalf. think this
election proves conclusively that
the workers will not countenance
any cold political deals such as
that quoted by the Toledo Blade
some time before the election with
Oliver Meyers giving Jack Thomp-
son his support"
"Our international secretary
treasurer, George Adde's, came in
to Toledo and spoke for a can
didate other than Tom Burke. The
fact that Mr.. Burke was elected
proves the local UAW members
are following their local leadership
and want no outside interference
with their local political situation"
Mr.. Gosser continued, "all men,
bers of the CIO know there is an
agreement which was passed by
the Toledo CI0 Council to the ef-
feet that those members who do not
get an endorsement before taking
out their petitions will not be en-
dorsed afterwards" )"
BerlOcher Expresses Satisfaction
Franz Berlocher, President of
the Milk Drivers Union, AFL, vice
chairman of Labor Joint Commit
tee, expressed himself as being
greatly pleased with the outcome
of the election. He said, "This cleo.
tion was a fine thing for labor and
this city. In electing Tom Burke
and four other candidates supported
by our joint committee, labor has
made contribution to the com.
munity. We are very grateful tc
those who worked for the candi.
dates, especially those who sup,
ported our slate. We hope the new
Council will prove as good in ac.
tion as it looks on paper and we
wish it lots of success"

the federal government is defin-
itely impairing production for the
war effort by American workers."
Murray declared. Pres. R. j. Tho
mas of United Auto Workers said
he didn't believe that congress
has any intention of rolling back
prices. UAW Vice Pres. Walter
P. Reuther declared that present
wage policies are imperiling "the
whole competitive balance of
American industry"
Other resolutions called for:
support of the Murray Wagner
Dingell social security bill; unity
with AFL and railroad brother
hoods on the political front; re-
peal of the Chinese exclusion law;
support of community councils in
neighborhoods and election dis
tricts as a method of carrying on
labor political activities; and urg-
ing the U. S. government to help
rescue Jewish refugees.

Farmers Needs

|, Apprehensive souls fearing further unsettle-
ment of affairs after the war foresee that
Congress may put the cop on the "GI'';
which, being translated, means they anticipate
Congressional interference when the time
comes for disposing of Government issue. The
Army, it appears is chiefly concerned with
what may be done on Capitol Hill for using
or marketing some fifty billion dollars worth
of war equipment when the captains and the
king (and the dictators) depart.
1t is even feared that some aspiring politi
clan may conduct campaign for election to
Congress on the slogan, "A jeep for every
farmer" Considering the versatility of jeeps,
it might be vote-getter. But peace is toe
far ahead to lie awake nights pondering the
future of jeeps.
Besides the farmers need things b ett Ell
adapted to the production of crops now They
would willingly forego jeep at some future
time if only they could get tractor now
or ploW, or disk or harrow or cultivator
or even few hoes, and workers to use them

Whistle EN- Down

Here is an interesting discovery. 1t is not the
signal lights, or even the periodical presence
of traffic officer, that halts pedestrians bent
on traversing an intersection at the wrong
time. Insead it is the officers whistle. The
blast he gives when persons afoot forge into
the street on a red signal light brings them
up sharp: Our observation is that only when
they hear the whistle do they take time to
glance at the light. At other times they pay
INT scant attention.
This being true, and we know that in many
cases it is, why wouldn't it be a good plan to
install whistles at intersections where traffic
lights exist to sound off automatically when
the signals change? Probably many persis-
tent violators would soon discover that no Of
ficer is blowing the whistle, but for merely
thoughtless or absent-minded persons the de-
vice assuredly would do all that is necessary.
Until Wilmington's traffic squad can be built
up sufficiently to keep officers at downtown
intersections during all peak periods h
whistles might materially improve a bad stu.

among indifferent offenders, visiting soldiers
are close to the top. Perhaps a word on

The Next Blow Where?

General Eisenhower, who ought to know
and does-says the Seventh American and the
Eighth British Armies are ready to strike an
other blow at the Axis. The Eighth Army
was seasoned in Africa, the Seventh on Sicily,
and now are on their toes for fresh combat.
They'd give General Alexander, the ground
commander, mighty one-two punch" Gen.
era1 Eisenhower adds in giving well-deserved
praise for operations on Sicily.
No one, least of all the Axis forces they
have twice defeated, would dispute this. But
the question is, where will they strike next?
Does the air attack in southern France indi
cate that it will come there? Hitherto, the
Allies have used air forces to soften areas
in advance of an onslaught Have they settled
upon the Rhone valley as a favored road
to Berlin, with the seizure of Paris for an op'
erations base? That would largely depend
we assume, on the people of France and
their preparedness for cooperation.
Or do they plan to retake Greece and ad
vance on Germany via the Balkans? The
ant-Nazi sentiment is particularly strong in
Jugoslavia, where Michailovich has immobil-
lied many German divisions ever since Hitler
swept through the Balkans These Jugoslav
guerrillas could be counted on to throw in
with an Allied attack force. The Greeks them
selves have never given up the fight against
the Germans. Bulgaria and Runania have
oe <Lo %bn h
forced upon them. Unrest is growing in Hun
gary. Czechoslovakians and Austrians have
never accepted Hun domination. The spirit
of revolt is strong among them Any advanc-
ing armies would receive their aid The Al
lies would be moving over friendly soil.
Either of these routes might be chosen as
neither is as heavily fortified as western
France and Belgium and Holland, along the
English channel and the North sea, or as
unapproa chable as Norway. Decisions affect
ing the next major Allied move in Europe
may be reached at the Canadian conferences
between President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill, and their staffs, if indeed they
have not already been settled to clear the
way for political discussions.
We will know what the decisions were only
when they are being carried out. But it seems
reasonable to think that the chief Allied mill
tary operations for a time at least will be in
the air, with increasing destruction of Ger
man centers accompanying each raid. All
blows struck by air against the source of
German military strength would make attack

Make Fifth A Through Street

The parkway in Fifth street gives it rat
ing comparable with Market and Third streets.
Its location also encourages it's use by north
and south bound traffic. Preceding and fol-
lowing changes in shifts at the shipyard it
is travelled by hundreds Of motor vehicles,
both automobiles and buses. There is suf-
ficient reason for making it through street.
The proposal now before the City Council
to so designate it has sufficient merit to JUS
tify official approval. If this action is taken
the number of collisions and sideswipes now
happening along it's course, and particularly
at the Orange street intersection, doubtless
will fall off.
The parallel proposal before the council to
eliminate Chestnut and Orange as through

has required months to get the driving public

Let Macarthur Alone

Because he has the Battle of the Southwest
think that General Macarthur is nearing the
retirement age and may be relegated to pri-
vate life by an unsound Army regulation be-
fore he has completed the job of driving the
Japanese out of this vital area and participant
ing in the blasting of Japan.
Certainly if there ever was reason to make
an exception to the habit of kicking out an
Army man merely because he has reached
the age Of sixty-four, it is found in the case
of General Macarthur. With equal certainty
it may be said that to retire him at the as
signed age and then have political group
induce him to enter the presidential race,
which appears to be the purpose of growing
clique, would be the equivalent of major
japanese victory.
This is not to say that General Macarthur
is incapable of governmental administration.
His record in the Philippines proves that he
is. Nor is it to say that military man at
the head Of government in the period immedi-
ately following the war would be undesirable
The contrary is true. Because the United
States will have to maintain large armed
forces and participate in whatever plan is
adopted for policing the world after peace
has been restored military president might
be distinct advantage. But the emergency
in the Pacific is SO great and General Mac
Arthur has so plainly demonstrated his ability
to meet it, that any change in his status,
except to promote him and increase his au.
thority and responsibilities, would be silly
