ternational UAW-CIO pro-
gram, Guaranteed full en-
ployment or 40 hours pay"
He said that because of war con-
ditions, the workers had been
frozen to their Jobs and therefore
should be guaranteed at least 40
hours pay, when through no fault
of theirs they were unable to get
in full week.
Change of models, lack of mat
erials, inefficient planning and
similar circumstances over which
the worker has no control were
some of the factors mentioned by
Mr.. Burke as causing layoffs in
war plants from which the work
ers suffer.
UAW Proposes Justice
In order to bring about justice
and compensate the workers foI
their loss, Mr.. Burke told how the
UAW-CIO has proposed that the
workers be compensated on the
basis of 40 hours. Where the lack

the company should pay the diff
ference to the workers. If the fault
lies with the governmental agency,
the difference should come out of
the funds of that agency.
Burke said that with frozen
wages, time lost through tempo
rary layoffs, high prices and taxes
that the working people are hav-
ing difficult time in getting by.
He strongly advocated the UAW-
CIO proposal as an act of simple
justice and expressed the hope
that it would become a reality.
Clayton Rusch, chairman of the
Local IL, Price Control Committee
will address the Forum on July
13. His subject will be "An Ade-
quate Food Program" All men,

branches or government, SO nold
on and away We'll go.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH
We will consider the executive
branch of each of our political
subdivisions separately. In this
article, we will cover the city and
state, and reserve the federal
government for later discussion.
In the city government, the
mayor is generally the executive
head of government. Of course,
this does not apply in Toledo be-
cause we operate under the city
manager system.
In Toledo, the mayor is elected
to the legislative branch of the
city government, or Council. He
is mayor by virtue of being elect
ed by his fellow Council members
to preside over Council meetings.
His chief function aside from his
Legislative position is to serve as
official greeter, handshaker and
giver of the key of the city. He
is also required to issue weighty
proclamations such as that the
city will take part in "eat an
apple a day week." or "rock your
baby to sleep with Slugger Brand
blackiackday", or "the earnest de-
sire for sunny skies" and other
serious things of this nature.
CITY MANAGER
In Toledo and other cities with
our form of government, the city
manager is the nearest approach
to an executive head. He is hired
by the Council rather than being
elected by the people. He is to
manage the affairs of the city.
Since this is a deviation from the
regular form of democratic gov
ernment and because the city
manager is hired by the Council,
he has no power of veto over the
acts of Council.
THE GOVERNOR
In Ohio, the governor is the
executive for the state. He has
three different types of agencies
to assist him in administering the
laws.
l. The administrative divisions:
the heads of which are elected by
the people (those who vote) di-
rectly. They are treasurer, audi
tor, secretary of state and at
torney general.
2. Executive departments. -
These are headed by directors
appointed by the governor and
correspond to the cabinet officers
of the chief executive of the ma
ton. Such departments as In
dustrial Relations This has some
thing to do with people who work
for a living), Public welfare
Estate hospitals, penal institutions,
old age pensions etc), and Public
Health (this effects even you
doesn't it?)

Burt Foundry
Contract Signed

Contract negotiations between
Local IL, UAW-CIO, and the Burt
Foundry Co. came to an end when
both parties signed the contract
on June 30. Controversial issues
covering wages, gloves and Union
security clauses were referred to
the War Labor Board for final
judgment.
Burt Foundry, formerly an AFL
shop, chose the UAW-CIO in an
election early this year. Contract
negotiations have been underway
for several months.
Melvin Schultz, president of
Local IL, and Cyrus Martin, who
was in charge of organzational
work and contract Negotiations at
Burts, signed the contract for

program"
Bill Prevents Sterilization
Reviewing his entire stabilization
program, the President said the
bill made it impossible for him to
stabilize prices, wages and salaries
at Sept. Is, 1912, levels as author
lied by Congress last October.
"This government cannot effective
ly stabilize the cost Of living if it
cannot stabilize the cost of neces-
sary food" he emphasized.
The President punctured the fall
lacy that the "high earnings of
some workers in munitions plants
are enjoyed by every workers fam
ily." This completely disregards the
millions of average workers whose
wages have not gone up, he pointed
out.
"These millions are entitled to
be protected against skyrocketing
food COSTS" he insisted. at is my
duty to guard them against the
ravages of inflation-and l shall
guard them unless the Congress
shackles my hands. These morgan
lied millions must not become the
forgotten men and women of our
war economy"
In defense of his subsidy pro-
gram, the President said that the
experience of countries like Can
ada and England shows that "lim-
tied subsidies can and must be eff
fectively used as a key weapon to
control initiation"

state senate. BY bipartisan is
meant that they must be com:

Naturally, the governor will see
to it that the majority of the
commission will be of his own

political cause.
wOTINELL
About this point you are very
likely saying "wotinell has all this
got to do with me?". Look pals
and We'll tell you. Count that
dough in your pocket. Count your
fingers and eyes. Remember that
last lay-off from the plant ?
Think about it. Did you have
tough time getting your unem-
ployment insurance? And was it
enough?
That's what your state govern
ment is all about, and some of our
workers act like a 7tate govern
ment was just one of those things.
A sort of glorified show for
which the actors get big pay to
do something a lot of our people
think they never really do.
Interest yourself in your state
and local government. 1t is just
as important to you as your con-
tract negotiations, grievance pro-
ceedure, union security and senior
ity. AS a matter of fact, the q
ditions which exist in our IT,
city and nation are an expreA
of the interest or lack of it which
you workers take in your govern
ment.
If you are genuinely interested
in your own welfare, you will be
interested in voting. If you
haven't voted in the last two gen.
eral elections or changed your
place of residence, go to the
Board of Elections, 217 Superior
st. and prepare to express your
will as sovereign voter and a
