Whaf About The WLB

What's wrong with the Regional War
Labor Board, was answered better than
ever before by the board itself in its
meeting last Tuesday night at MacOmber
High School, attended by Toledo workers
and labor leaders.
Labor attended the meeting to seek
information, to clarity many of the per-
picking problems and difficulties arising
out of hundreds of cases pending before
the board, which are causing undue delays
and trying the patience of both the work
ers and their leaders.
Facetiousness and humOr have their
place, but certainly not in meeting of the
type which was held last Tuesday night.
Lewis NJ. Gill's attempt at levity might
not have gone anliss after his Introductory
story, but seeking to illustrate a point
with story when answers were requested
certainly antagonized the labor representa-
tives present at the meeting.
Nor does blaming labor for WLB de-
lays strike responsive chord in the minds
of Toledo labor, for in most eases, particu-
larly those in which Local II, UAW-CIO,
is involved, detailed briefs, sometimes run
ming to 20 or more pages, have been SUBJ
mitted to the board. The excuse that la
boris information is incomplete sounded
hollow in the face of the true facts.
After listening to the evasive answers
given by the WLB, Toledo labor is unim-
pressed; instead, it is more firmly con-
vinced than ever before that the board is
doing a better job in serving the interests
of the employers than that of the work.
ers, a conviction which the Toledo meeting
served to strengthen.
Sum total of the reaction of Toledo
labor to the WLB's visit was that the
board did not come here with a sincere
desire to be of help in the Toledo problems,
but came to give the impression that it is
fair and impartial body.
If the Toledo visit OF the WLB was in
spired by the wish to better its relations
with labor, it certainly miscarried, not be-
cause of any unwillingness on the part of
Toledo labor to listen to reason, but be-
cause of the attitude of the board ITSELF

IFS Amazing

It's amazing to observe the length to
which some small town newspapers will
go in their frantic efforts to prevent the
workers from organizing.
On the other hand, it should not sur
prise anyone when paper like the Troy,
Ohio, Daily News makes a vicious attack
on labor, for the manufacturers of Troy
are reaping rich harvest far surprising
even their widest dreams, and the local
paper is bound to prosper with them.
We are suspicious of men and papers
which proclaim their patriotism when at
tacking labor, and we agree that Sam
Johnson had something when he said that
patriotism is the last refuge of the
sc0undreI."
Let's not be kidded by the Troy paper.
1t must be getting its revenue from those
whom it so zealously defends-the Troy
manufacturers.

Lobor's Victory

Tom Burke's election to City Council
last week was more than a personal VIC
tory for the CIO candidate. 1t was a great
victory for Toledo labor, which upset the
political apple cart and proved labor will
vote for labor candidates.
Burke's election was vindicatiOn for
both Mr.. Burke and the Go for the way
i'm which Council ignored them last Deem
Der, when John q. Carey resigned his
Council position to take his place on the
Common Pleas Court bench.
At the time Council gave Mr.. Burke'S
candidacy, espoused by the CIO, the brush
off, this paper in an editorial stated that
"the CI0 cannot be ignored" fact which
has now been demonstrated in a most
gratifying manner by the vote given the
CIO candidate.
Nor was Mr.. Burke's election entirely
due to the CI0, for the AFL Ieamsters'
Union, the Railroad BrOtherhoOds and
other workers voted for MIR. Burke, know
ing that he would truly represent their in
terests and carry out his campaign prom
ises.
We believe that Mr.. Burke will vindi-
cate the vote which was given him last
week. We believe he will serve this city as
he served in the Ohio legislature, with
honesty and courage. We believe that not
only labor, bat ali fair minded citizens of
Toledo will be proud of Mr.. Burke and that
he will be an asset to all the people.
Labor is aware of its political interests
in Toledo and proved it cOnclusively on
November 2.

Steel Formula or junk it outright.
INSTRUMENT OF CONTROL
AS the War Labor Board is now constructed,
with its formula for rejecting or granting wage
increases, it is nothing but weapon of worker
control. While it is true that the Board set up
with the idea of taking the place of the workers
right to strike. it also set up instrument
for preventing initiation.
Our contention is that the War Labor Board
has been the instrument whereby an unjust and
unequal control has been held over the workers,
without any similar control being exercised over
the employers.
We know, and the figures are available to bear
out the statement, that no such rigid control has
been placed upon the manufacturers and employers
of labor which has been placed over labor. We
realize that while the workers wages have been
held down within strict confines that profits have
scared, and are not being taxed equitable
basis to compensate for the inequalities which exist
between the workers and the employers.
PATIENCE is TRIED
AS result of their knowledge of what is TAX
ing place in this country, the workers are growing
disgusted and restless Labor leadership has
reached the point where it is demanding that ethdS
prices be rolled back and our economy stabilized
that the Little Steel Formula be revised upward
destroyed in the light of economic realities to
compensate for the inequalities which today exist
Labor certainly doesn't feel that the Little
Steel Formula is untouchabe or sacred. 1t is not
averse to junking this formula, and is demanding
that its voice be heard and the formula be brought
up to date or tossed out
Labor leaders do not believe that the Little
Steel Formula is any more sacred than the Pres-
dents executive order limiting incomes to $4,000
net per year. If the people who receive the large
incomes could get Congress to sympathize with
them and destroy the income limitations it could
do just as much for the workers who definitely
are not being treated justly.
Personally, and | say this with no reservation,
| am entirely opposed to the present economic
inequalities which exist between the big incomes
and those of the workers l am unaIterably opposed
to imposing restrictions and limitations upon the
workers while taking off the ceiling on large in
comes. do not regard the Little Steel Formula as
anything except an economic injustice to the work
ing people of this nation, and shall work for the
destruction of the Little Steel Formula on the
grounds that it has failed us.

indeed, they were definitely against labor Defeat
or abor-backed candidates in New York, New
Jersey Kentucky, Detroit, Philadelphia and San
Francisco indicate that the pendulum is still swing
now sufficiently marked to be more than just an
ing in the direction Of reaction trend which is
accident.
LABOR MUST FIGHT
Perhaps the biggest disappointment of all was
the result of the Detroit mayoralty race, where
the labor candidate was defeated by 10000 votes
despite strong labor backing.
1t is my belief that the Detroit defeat of the
labor-backed candidate was in part due to over
confidence on the part of the workers. Most of the
Detroit labor group seemed positive, particularly
after the nomination of their candidate, that the
election was in the bag, an error which became
apparent when Mayor Jefferies seized upon the
last minute to use prejudice melting propaganda
to defeat the labor candidate.
Like other people, the workers learn in the
hard school of experience, and | sincerely doubt
if Mayor Jefferies would be able to get away with
the same type of propaganda again. However, the
election is over labor was defeated and now looks
back upon its mistakes.
Detroit and other cities where labor candidates
were defeated should not discourage us. 1t should
teach us some valuable lessons which will prove
helpful to us in the future. We must realize that
no election is in the bag until the votes counted
and our candidates are elected We must be Wig
liant and constantly on the lookout for the LAD
minute appeals to prejudice an. old expedient usSs
in practically every election, but which seems to
work at times just like the hidden ball trick In
baseball game.
We are proud of our accomplishment in Toledo
this fall We appreciate the interest shown by labor
in voting for and electing Tom Burke and we hope
that next year we will be able to hold UP our end
in the national elections.

A TYPICAL PICTURE

This example Of Joe Doakes,
the average American, all balled
up in a political contradiction, IS
not presented in a spirit of cyni-
cism.
Joe is a good guy. He loves
America; and he wants to win
the war; but he is a typical pic
ture of the average American
who has yet to learn what the
war is all about.
All Joe knows about the war is
what he reads in the papers and
hears on the radio. The war to
him is simply a matter of putting
enough guns and tanks and
planes in the hands of our sol
diers to slap down the Japs and
the Germans.
He thinks that way about the
war because that is the only
light in which it has ever been
presented to him.
Fascism is to him brute in an
enemy uniform who will come
over here and stick him with
bayonet, if we lose the war.
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE
Joe has not bothered to figure
out that it doesn't make hell of
a lot of difference whether hu-
man being dies from starvation
or from bayonet stuck through
his gizzard.
That is why he feels sorry for
the starving Indians one minute
and cusses out the striking min
ers the next moment.
1t has not occurred to him that
hunger plays no favorites; that
an empty belly hurts just as
much in West Virginia as it does
in Calcutta.
The thing he has to learn is
that-if moral decency and love
of freedom impels us to fight
back against the enemy who
threatens to invade our country
and stick US with a bayonet-the
same moral decency and love of
freedom ought to impel US to
fight to put food in the mouths
of both starving Indians and
striking miners.
This is the very essence of the
fight against Fascism. 1t is a
truth that the common people the
world over have got to learn and
use as a weapon, if the victory
we seek is to mean anything in
human history.
FASCISM HAS NO ONE FLAG
We have to learn that Fascism
has no one flag, no one uniform,
no one emblem on the sleeves of
those who carry out its policies.
Hitler and Hirohito are Fas-
cists because they order the inva-
sion of neighboring nations, the
murder of masses of innoment
people, the destruction of free in
stitutions which humanity has
laLored long to build.
Franco and Badoglio are not
less Fascistic because, at the
point of a portfolio or a bayonet,
they gracefully abstain from ac-
tive warfare against us.
England has waged a gallant
war against Hitler, but the
sprouts of Fascism are flourish
ing in the soil where the dead
bodies of starved Indians are bur-
led.
Fascism in America would
force the miners to dig coal at
the point of bayonet. Democ-
racy would give the miners a
square deal across the conference
table.
Joe Doakes must learn these
things-in order to stay free.
