WASHINGTON (FP) - A de-

fruit and vegetables was made May

the contributing causes Of unrest,
Thomas said that the price struc-
ture had considerable to do with
the workers dissatisfaction. He
called for price roll back to the
May Is, 1912, level, grade labelling
and the stabilization of wages and
prices as aids to helping the work
ers along and preventing wide
spread unrest and dissatisfaction
with their conditions.
In concluding his address, Thom-
as repeated that the officers of the
UAW were opposed to strikes and
that they would keep their pledge.
He said he has asked the Chrysler
workers to return and that he felt
they would do so as a gesture of
patriotism and wait or settlement
of their case before the WLB.

'CzeIusfd
Speeds Up
Council
BY Richard Smith

One of the fastest Council meet
ings yet held since your reporter
has been attending these exciting
gatherings unfolded rapidly under
the gavel of Vice Mayor Ollie Cze-
lusta, pinch-hitting for Mayor
Lloyd Roulet, who was on junket
to Chicago.
Councilman George Bryce, being
the only one to have anything to
talk about, contended that the
gatehouse at Forest Cemetery has
been permitted to fall into a state
of disrepair.
He stated: "With the recent
raise in city employees wages, our
city managers salary of $4,000
per year, directors of the various
departments receiving $4,000 or
more and even the councilmen get
ting $4,000, it would seem our city
should be able to keep up at least
the external appearance of its own
burial grounds.
Mr.. Bryce also stated, "It must
have taken the accumulated neg
lect of all welfare departments
since the Civil War to permit the
gatehouse and it's surroundings to
reach its present state. He asked
that Welfare Director Merritt
Green submit plans to beautify the
entrance to the cemetery.
No Gallery-Thatcher Silent
With no one in the audience to
listen, Councilman Addison @.
Thatcher remarked, when asked if
he had any legislation to present;
that he had nothing to say.
Deferment of discussion of the
proposed repaving of Fearing
Blvd, from Wayne to Buckingham,
was asked by Councilman Michael
V. Disable when he informed Coun-
Gil that the State Highway Depart
ment is considering the repaving
without the aid of city funds. The
Resolution, submitted by Council
MAN Ollie Czelusta and Howard
Etchen,. provided that half the ex-
pense be paid by the State High
way Department and half by the
gasoline tax refund.
Civic Center to Open June
City Manager George n. Schoon-
maker announced that the Civic
Center bounded by city admins
tration buildings and the Federal
Building, would be in full bloom as
of June /, including the beautiful
lighted fountain in it's center (bar-
ring any more leaks).
An ordinance to buy and install
four telemeter water pressure
transmitters for the Division of
Water at a cost of $4,000 was
adopted, as was resolution to
construct and repair sidewalks on
Eleanor and Sylvania Avenues.
Two communications signed by
Clifford f. Wysocki, secretary of
the South Side Civic Council, were
read by the clerk.
The first, relative to the dump
ing of refuse on the south side of
the creek at Westwood Ave-, was
referred to the city manager for
his report to a committee of the
whole meeting.
The second, asking that traffic
signals at Broadway and Logan
SITS. be continued in operation until
midnight as previously practiced
instead of turning them off at Z
y. m. Action on this was held in
allowance until a representative of
the Traffic Department could
make a detailed report to COM
mittee of the whole meeting.
1t was announced that, due to
the celebration of Decoration Day
next Monday, Council would meet
at 1880 Tuesday evening, June l.

and that the public has the right
to hear frank talk from responsible
labor leaders on this point.
"No matter how many local
unions and individual workers may
seek to correct their grievances
through strikes, the CIO and the
United Automobile Workers, are
till unequivically opposed to
strikes during the war. More than
that, / and every other officer of
the CIO, without exception, are
doing everything possible first, to
avoid strikes, and secondly, when
they occur, to have them terminal
ed as soon as possible" With this
t a e m e n t, president Thomas
launched into a plea to all Chrysler
workers to return to their jobs at
once.
Discusses Labor Opposition
Thomas told his listeners that
abuse of labor by newspapers and
hysterical efforts to enact anti
strike legislation would not help
the situation. He called upon eradi-
cation of the basic causes as a
means of avoiding strikes
In addition to criticizing news
papers for their abuse, Thomas
blamed the manufacturers for much
Of the labor trouble saying that
"the primary cause of strikes is
the deliberate, continuous and con-
certed efforts of anti-union manu-
facturers to take advantage of la
boris no-strike pledge"
Despite the provocations, Thom-
as said labor has been hesitant to
strike; but has patiently agreed to
refer its grievances to the War La
Dor Board. He criticized the WLB
for its lack of speed, saying that
speed was necessary in settling the
workers grievances. He said that
when the WLB was set up it had
full authority to render decisions
on labor disputes, but that its
power today is only a shadow of
what it formerly was.
