Unions Adopt
Blood Donor Plan

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Impetus
was added to the American Red
Cross campaign to procure 4,OOO,-
900 pints of blood for the army
and navy during 1943 as union
councils in several more cities took
formal steps this week to inaugu-
rate the Blood Donor Honor Roll
plan.
The Milwaukee Federated
Trades Council elected John
Strobel, chairman of its blood
donor committee, which will re-
cruit volunteers from affiliated
locals. Wilbur Carr, of Oil Work.
ers International Union, Local 1896,
was appointed blood donor chair
man of the Cleveland Industrial
Union Council.
Frank Marzitelli, chairman of
the A. F. of L. committee in st.
Paul, issued a call to all unionists
and their families to donate blood
under the plan adopted by the
Trades and Labor Assembly in that
city.
"Trade unionists, as soldiers of
industry, will want to donate a
pint or more of blood SO that
the life of some wounded Amer
lean or United Nations soldier may
be saved on the battlefield" Mar
zitelli said Housewives are SOL
diers of production as well as the
men, and they, too, can make
their contribution to the Red
Cross Blood Donor Service"
MIR. Marzitelli announced that
the following St Paul unions
already have c~ooperated in the
plan: Bakery Workers Local 81;
Bakery Drivers Local 400; Brick
layers Local No. 1; Carpenters
Local 81; General Drivers Local
120; Electrical Workers Local ITO;
Ladies' Auxiliary to the Trades
and Labor Assembly; Meat Cut
tiers Local LA; Milk Drivers
Local SAG; Office Employees Local
1899, and Painters and Decora-
tors Local 81.

s768 now before the board.
Immediate plans were developed
by the chief stewards for a pro-
gram in protest to this blanket
order which not only creates a
hardship on the workers involved,
but will also interfere with about
war production. A letter writing
campaign among all the member
ship in all the plants is being in
augurated in protest to the wage
and job freeze order issued by
Byrnes and McNutt.
Special group meetings are
being called in each plant where
the executive order and its inter-
pretations r being explained to
the workers to insure a steady
flow of correspondence from the
members of our union
It was agreed by the chief
stewards assembled, that the out
standing case affected by this
freeze order was the Chrysler Air
temp case which has been pend
ing before the board for many
months. Inequalities in this plant
with the community prevailing
rate have been fully recognized by
the War Labor Board and from
indications, this particular case
will receive the same treatment
as those just recently filed with
the War Labor Board.
The representatives of the men,
bers of Local 768 were quite conf
dent that if the campaign of letter
writing and protests was success
fully carried out in each plant,
that the ruling of Sterilization
Director Byrnes would be re-
versed to recognize inequalities.
The group went on record rec
ommending that every member do
their part to reverse the unfair
decision incorporated in the exec
utive order of the President.

Council has a representative on
each of the rationing boards in
the county and those representa-

in protecting the fair shares of
the working man and woman, and
saving paid employees for Uncle
Sam.
Your Council has members who
are working on one of the most
important jobs in this nation, the
sale of War Bonds and Stamps.
The sale of these Bonds and Stamps
is proving that Labor is doing a

representation on that committee.
The Community Chest and the

A new advisory committee is
being set up in council to cooper
ate with the Rent Control offices
in the Dayton area. Cases involv-
ing dispute will be prepared in
full in the council committee and
turned over to the rent control
officials. This will save time both
for the investigating committee of
the Fair Rent Board and for the
members of our Local Unions in
the solving of their rent disputes

Soldiers Of
Production

Inch by inch they raised the
banner,
Token of their country's praise;
And each heart was beating faster
While they stood with upturned
gaze.
Silent, grim determination
Shown on every loyal face
AS they proudly watcher their
banner
Til it reached its honored place.
e" the symbol, Badge Of Honor"
None could miss the import
shown,
They had taken up the challenge
And the trust would be their
own.
Soldiers, all, behind the limelight,
Each one striving with his might,
Backing up their gallant brothers
With the weapons in their fight.
| Would there be a single shirker?
No, not one who stood that day
Gazing upward to their banner
And to God, who showed the
way.

ON the following issues.
The management of Aeroprod-
ucts will not conciliate or COM
promise in any way or form on
the adjustment of the merit sys-
tenn in the classification of pro-
duction workers. Management also
refused to consider the setting up
of wage rates comparable to those
of other industries in the r. 1t
is the opinion of the shop commit
tee that the management of Aero
products like all GIN plants, are
trying to stall In the hope that
legislation will be passed to create
the downfall of all unions. These
continual Sailing tactics r used
by the management of GIN to cap
italize ON the pledge of the CIO
not to strike for the duration of
the war.
In the meetings with the concil-
iator and the management, man
agement implied that the Shop
Committee of Local 947 does not
represent the employees of Aero
products. We wish to remind the
management of Aeroproducts that
we won the election at Aero
products in October, 1912, by a
majority of IS per cent. 1t seems
to us that management is more
worried about the minority group,
than by abiding by the wishes of
IS per cent of the employees of
Aeroproducts.

The shop committee realizes
that a smile does not always pay

WLB Panel
Makes Report

The War Labor Board panel
that met in Dayton on Thursday,
April 8, has filed its recommended
tons with the Regional War Labor
Board. The War Labor Board
panel was set up by the Regional
Board after the workers at Air
temp returned to work after a
recent stoppage.
The Airtemp case has been in
negotiations since June, 1912, and
is now approaching a final deci-
sion on the proposal of the Union
that wages be adjusted to iron out
inequalities between the Airtemp
and community prevailing rates.
The question of retroactive pay
was a major issue with the Union
insisting that full back pay be
granted as of June, 1912. The
Union has no specific informa-
tion as to the panel recommended
ton, however, it is felt that the
panel concurred in some form OF
wage adjustment and also a COM
promise on retroactive pay.

Another Pound
Of Flesh?

aisle from me is a very intelligent
fellow. He is an Alternate Com
mitteeman, a real democratic guy
and occasionally engages me in
conversation.
Well, Eddie was saying to me
the other day: Look" he said, II
am just as anxious to increase pro-
duction as anybody, and I will
gladly donate my last drop of
blood, but I'm damned if I want to
give up all of my flesh, too"
Meaning that management is try
ing to conjure up a way to in
crease production on the bolt line
without paying for it, and mean
ing that we (including Eddie) (and
me) do not care for the notion.
The GIN method of ~job-cutting is
well known. It is among the facts
of life you learn at momma's
knee. They get you to increase
your output, then complain be-
cause "the efficiency is too high"
so along comes a time-study man,
cuts your job, and before you
can say "blankety- blank General
| Motors" there goes that pound of
flesh!
Yes, we do want to increase pro-
duction, but must we give up
another pound of flesh to do it?
The rising price of this and that
which make up the cost of living
hasn't stopped by the hodge-podge
of sky-high Ceilings" which have
been thrown at us by Washington
reactionaries, trying hard to evade
the necessity of overall control of
prices. It's no joke when we say
the paycheck is getting hitler
every week. It just won't 60 as
far as it looks like it should The
fact is, we need a raise to main
tain a healthful and decent STAN
dard of life.
Here we have two arguments:
]. We want to increase production;
2. We need a bigger paycheck. To
/ the naked eye it looks very simple.
We work on an incentive" plan,
so why not produce more and
make more? What's the hitch?
Just this: Through many years of
bitter experience working under
this incentive" system we've
learned that there is no guarantee
of good faith ever put forth by
management that they will main
tain present rates if we 60 over
present production. In the midst
| of a war for national survival -. .
it's only reasonable to think that
management might change its tao
tics and offer us this guarantee
/. Il only for their own self
preservation. AS yet they have
not, as yet we have no reason to
trust them not to take advantage
of our patriotic desire to turn out
more guns and motors and planes
that we know our boys need.
So here we are, standing be-
tween two fires, on the one hand
burning up with a fever against
Axis forces to turn out guns SC
fast they won't know what's hitting
them, and on the other hand burnt
up by the same lousy old job
cutting tactics of management
What are we going to do about
this unholy situation? As I see it
there is only n thing we car
do, and that is to demand from
management that hourly wage
rates are frozen. They take thu
