liam McAulay, UAW-CIO director

a conference with the president OF
UAW-CIO membership there: Il
am reliably informed that produc-
ton in the Breach concern is down
80 per cent and that morale has
gone down TO zero for workers
due to persistent disregard Of
rights Of workers to organize.
Particularly bad is the firing Of
two workers recently for absence
from work when they were home
under a doctors care and especial
ly significant is the fact they have
been active in trying to organize
a union in the American Breach
Co.
ut is about time that this or

begin to comply with the spirit OF
American Democracy
Hjalmer G. Kent. superintendent
OF American Breach and Machine
Co, said that. since there were
no appreciable changes in con-
ditions at the factory, there seems
to be no reason for a company

Why Not Legalize BingO?
Why not legalize Bingo?


This is question along the street. Why put
churches and other organizations in the light of law
breaking? Bingo is popular. Many like it, 1t has pro-
vded easy way to raise money
Wednesday there will be meeting in Wisconsin to dis
this subject In Madison the senate committee
affairs of government will hold hearing proposed
legislation to make Bngo legal in the state The aim is
to exempt operators of Bngo from prosecution if
proceeds of the used for fraerna charitable
or patriotic purposes
That is sensible procedure In Ypsilanti in many
other cities, there many who like the game and many
worthy organizations being benefited The game
in defiance of the law and that fact alone quite
conclusive proof that the law is unpopular and should
therefore be revised.
The quickest way to revision would be through rigid
enforcement.
Let police break up all Bngo games and protests would
quickly bring legislative response.
But chief of police to tackle such problem
lone handed.
So long the game is permitted in other cities of the
state, will probably be permitted here. The fault lies
with the people. They should not encourage violation of
law. If it is outmoded they should demand revision
the people of Wisconsin doing Bngo do much
for churches lodges and other organizations 1t should
be legaized and controlled to meet worthy needs.
There should also be age limit AS the game runs
there too many children developing the gambling
urge too early in life.

Lewis Word

NNIW Ready to
Resume Talks
With Operators

Washington. May 17-INS-The
War Labor Board faced a new
crisis today while a stunned gov
eminent awaited developments TO
see whether John l.. Lewis would
permit a new. general walkout in
the coal fields tomorrow midnight.
The board, defied again by Lewis,
went ahead with its plans for the
10 a. m. conference before which
II had ordered representatives of
Lewis United Mine Workers I'm
ion and coal operators to appear.
Lewis, in New York, announced
that he would not attend the ses-
sion nor send any UNIV represen-
tative. Instead, he maintained that
UNIV negotiating committees were
standing by in New York ready to
resume direct negotiations with
operators over the miners wage
controversy.
The UNIV chieftain expressed
great contempt for the WLB and
termed It mock court. Lewis.
at the same time, refused to say
whether he would allow a new
strike in the vital coal fields to-
morrow midnight, when the pres
ent 15-day truce, under which mines
have been operating for the past
two weeks. expires.
His announcement stunned many
government officials. WLB Chair
man William H. Davis. through his
press agent, said that he had no
immediate comment to make.
Other government officials pri-
vately said that it would. be incon-
ceivable for Lewis to risk another
strike. Against this was the re-
port of Secretary of Interior Har-
old l.. Ickes that the miners were
ready to walkout unless they are
given a new contract. This was
in line with the historic miners
policy OF mo contract, no work.
