Toledo Scale Union
Fails Workers

Ohio Scale Workers represent us;
but we got gypped, too"
Sentiment is rising among Scale
Co. employees, not so much against
the company as against the COM
pany-dominated Ohio Scale Work
ers Union. Many members of the
union are so disgusted with the
conditions in the shop that they
would do almost anything to reme-
dy conditions but are powerless be-
cause there is no one for them to
take their grievances to.
A large number of the company
employees are talking and the gem
eral consensus of opinion is that no
union would be almost as good as
the organization which now lets the
company tell it what to do, instead
of defending and protecting the
workers.

his version of the bill, this being
his second appearance before the
judiciary committee. He denied
that the bill had been copied from
any similar bill entered in any of
the other states. (44 states have
had bill similar IN nature to H.
B. 1881 and said that the entire
bill had been his original work ans
effort.
Mr.. Snow also set forth his
denial that his bill which was pre-
sented by Representative French of
Delaware county, which does not
have single labor union, was not
inspired in any way by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacture
ers, the Small Businesses Associa-
ton, the Chamber of Commerce or
any similar organization. The bill,
according to Mr.. Snow is the prod
uct of his own mind and ideas
with respect to labor.
When the hearing which went on
from 800 p. nj. to 11;00 p. m. had
ended, Chairman Jackson Belts of
the House Judiciary Committee an
nounced that the bill would be
given to a subcommittee which he
would appoint, there being no
objections, he read off the names
of those who would serve on the
subcommittee.
What provisions will be made By
the subcommittee appointed by
the chairman Belts to hear addi-
tional testimony relative to the bill
remains in doubt, until the COM
mittee holds meeting and decides
what further action will be taken
on the bill.

A Xankis Life

! (wNU F.sturs--Througb special arrange
In the heart of New Delhi, capi
tai of India, you will find the head.
quarters of the Tenth Air force OF
the American Army. 1t is really
city of its own.
Before this war there have been
eight Delhis, six of which crumbled
away with declining civilizations,
Beginning Of the war found still in
existence the seventh Delhi, a typi-
cal teeming eastern city of rick
shas, sleeping coolies and wander
ing cows; and the eighth Delhi, a
governmental suburb of broad
streets and fine buildings known as
New Delhi.
Now that the Yanks have come
to India, there has come into be-
ing a community which may well
be called the ninth Delhi.
When my plane arrived in India
/ drove to the Imperial Hotel, then
the American headquarters, along
streets my taxi shared with camel
caravans, bullock carts, motor
buses, bicycles and pony carts. On
broad tree-lined Queensway we ran
between empty lots where ground
was broken for construction prof.
ects.
Already masons were at work
on fresh foundations and loose
limbed hill-women with rings in
their noses and heavy silver ank-
lets clanking above their bare
feet were carrying bricks on
their heads.
I stayed in India six months and
long before | left, the ninth Delhi
was completed and occupied, with
the American flag flying before the
headquarters building and thou
sands of American soldiers COM
fortably installed in their new
quarters.
Bomb Japs in Burma
As / write, British troops are
still pouring across the Burma bor-
der and members of the American
Tenth Air force are bombing Jap
anese installations in Burma.

believed certain ills IN the
present system should be dis
continued after the war, such
as government by minorlties
and pressure groups; modern
advertising which stunts our
mental growth; the poll tax
and other undemocratic insti-
tutions; unbridled competition
and private enterprise as it
now exists.
Would Substitute Planning
In place of the things which he
recommended should be eliminated,
Mr.. Burkart said he would sub
stitute a generally planned econ
omy which would permit every
man to become both an integral
as we'll as individual part Of the
new society. At the present time, ="
said Mr.. Burkart, perhaps 10 per
cent of US can achieve individual
ity, self-respect and expression"
He recommended socialized medi-
cine, higher education subsidized
by public funds; consumer or
ganization; labor participation in
all public affairs; national wage
scales; guaranteed employment for
all those willing to work; common
sense planning Of production and
distribution of all goods, and con-
troll of prices on national basis.
Most important Of all, Mr..
Burkart said he would like to see
new incentive or motivating
power. He said, "the profit system
has failed utterly because it can
not allow for human values. This
should be replaced by a motiva-
ton of service to the community
and the betterment of all rather
than by selfishness."
Strive for Democracy
In concluding his talk, Mr..
Burkart said, I've must strive
for the utmost democracy for all
who contribute to society. Cradle
to the grave as emphasized by
our newspapers is hokum and
propaganda. Under no system will
the workers coast through life on
a bed Of roses. People will CON
tinue to work and sweat; but they
must be guaranteed a maximum
Of security, full compensation for
production and freedom from the
economic ills that are so familiar
to all of US"
A question and answer period
followed the talk with discussion
Of many Of the points made by the
speaker.

/ Theirs is destined to be vital part
in turning the tide of war in the
East.
/ The ninth Delhi, spread along
both sides of Queensway for half
mile, comprises two-story bar
racks, officers quarters, office
buildings, hospital and post ex-
change. Last but far from least
are the mess halls, where Yank
1 soldiers eat as do few armies on
either side of this war.
| While the barrack room bearers
are making the beds and compar-
ing admiring notes on their new
masters, the boys themselves are
eating breakfast that might just
as well have been prepared in East
Orange, N. j., or Terre Haute, Ind.
Fruit, eggs, much of the meat and
all the fresh vegetables are pur-
chased locally, but there's a good
sprinkling of canned and packaged
goods brought through half dozen
submarine zones so the boys can
have the kind of meals that mother
used to make,
Yanks Eat American Style
The American soldiers in India
are eating American style in the
army mess halls, but healthy Curl
osity has led them to make a thor
ough investigation of Indian food
as well.
The little restaurants are always
crowded with them, nibbling
strange curries, savoring hot
spices, perhaps even trying a chew
at the red betel nut the Indians
think good for their digestion. And
particular favorite is rich pas
try covered with real silver leaf.
The Indians think silver is
good for their insides. The Amer
leans don't take much faith in
that, but they do get a kick out
of eating real silver. Some of
them are writing home warning
the folks to lock up the family
silver after the war. They say
they might forget where they
were and chew up Aunt LOUIS
best creamer or swallow those
souvenir spoons from the Worlds
Fair.
These men Of the Indian AEF
are mechanics, clerks, cooks, tech
nicians Of hundred different
kinds, and they put in a full day at
their appointed tasks unstayed by
sun or dust storm or monsoon. But
they have their fun while they can
get it.
A tonga is two-wheeled cart
drawn by an understood, NANCY
but spirited Indian pony. There is
one broad seat, separated into two
by a back rest running from side
to side. Thus two passengers can
ride facing forward and two fac
ing backward.
The man who invented tongas
didn't know much about the laws
of balance. If two passengers take
tonga and sit in the back seat, /
the shafts go up in the air so high |
the pony has to walk on tiptoe. To
counteract this the driver crawls /
out on the right shaft and operates
as a sort of off-side jockey.

Critics Attack
Film But Public
Loves II
Picture Has Real
Box Office Appeal

NEW YORK (FP)-The first
picture ever made in Hollywood to
show the danger of fascism in
America, "Keeper of the Flame"
has met with mixed reactions from
the critics but continues to draw
unprecedented crowds at the box
office.
The MGM movie, starring Kath-
arine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy,
and written by Donald Ogden Stew
art, tears the mask off a so-called
American hero, revealing him as
the core of a sinister fascist move
ment camouflaged with "red, white
and blue" slogans.
Paper Leads Attack
Leading the attack on the pic
ture is the defeatist New York
Daily News, which described it as
propaganda drivel about Ameri-
can fascism that has no relation to
reality" intimating that only Pres
ident Roosevelt could be the fascist
dictator.
But the applause outweighs the
criticism. Aufbau, a German refu-
gee weekly, says that few works
of art have as successfully exposed
the fascist totalitarian idea" as
this picture, which Shows how
the masses can be deceived-not
only in Germany, Vichy France,
and other European countries,
where fascism succeeded, but also
in America where more than one
dangerous demagog is working to
destroy democracy and the Bill of
Rights"
Trade Papers Praise Film
The trade papers, whose readers
must know the truth for business
reasons, were unanimous in prais-
ing it. Film Daily said the picture
carried a Worthwhile lesson to the
American people on the subject of
demagoguery of the most mis-
placed sort"
And even the slick, light-hearted
New Yorker commented: "This is
far meatier theme than you are
apt to run across in most movies,
and for its sake alone is definitely
worth seeing"
After six weeks "Keeper of the
Flame" is still playing to standing
room only audiences at New York's
mammoth Music Hall, while re-
ports from other points indicate
the picture is an outstanding sue
cess.

May Get Disgruntled

Officers of Local II are unani-
nous in their comments about the
AFL's latest attempt to win back
some of the lost membership which
it has suffered during the past
several years. All agree that the
AFL will no doubt pick up a few
disgruntled members which are
present in every organization; but
the general consensus of opinion
is that the AFL is simply showing
its true value as a nuisance in the
labor field.
Dozens of AFL letters and
pledge cards sent to members in
various UAW- clio shops have been
turned in to Local II by those who
received them, and it is increas-
ingly more evident that the AFL
has missed its mark by a wide

Fifty or more city employees who
gathered in the council chamber
to see and hear their chosen repre-
sentatives did not add to the COM
fort of the city fathers, who have
a problem on their hands and know

Police are particularly indignant
over the $40 raise which was Of
fered by the city council, one of
them going into great detail after
the meeting to the Toledo Union
Journal reporter. Said the patrol
man, "They have lot of CUTS Of

Firemen under the new plan
would be obliged to put in 16 hours
extra duty each week, changing
over from the three to the two
platoon system. This would give
the firemen $50 raise but require
more time on duty, and entail lay
ing off 81 men in addition to the
l3 men already off the department.
The plan was prepared b. Ronald

the Municipal League of Toledo.

is 56 hours.

ment, "We have not raided any
AFL or other shop that has been
organized. We have never accepted
people from shops under the AFL
unless they could show US that a
majority of the people in these
shops wanted to make change.
That, more than any other reason,
is the answer to why we have, on
every occasion defeated the AFL
in plant after plant, and the reason
why we will continue to defeat
them"
Refuse To Raid
Continuing his statement, Presi-
dent Schultz said, Fright now we
have request from a Toledo shop
that wishes to change from another
union to the UAW-CI0. We will
have nothing to do with the request
unless we are shown beyond any
shadow of a doubt that the major
ity wish to make the change. Be-
cause we have done all the things
which the AFL now claims it will
do for the workers, our people are
loyal to the organization. The AFL
is now making promises which it
made before and broke and expects
the workers to have confidence in
its words"
