But the industrial worker has
learned his economics the hard way.
He has found that organized man.
agement will sell its product at the
highest possible price, and pay its
employees, both blue-shirted and
white-collared, little more than it
is forced to pay them.
The factory worker does not re-
ceive the education that the average
office employe receives. Therefore,
if an all-around intelligence test
were given to both classes, you
would find the office worker COM
ing out on top, on the average, with
exceptions here and there, of
course.
Not A Moron
The factory worker is not the
moron he was once looked upon as
being. Today we have college
graduates, yes, and even college
professors, working in the plants.
Managements have learned that
from the ranks of labor, from the
work benches, assembly lines, tool
rooms, from every possible part of
the industrial plants, come men and
women who can think just as fast
as the highly paid business execu-
tives and their attorneys, and who
can also trip up the fake statesmen
who misrepresent the people who
elected them in public office.
Today the CIO is constantly
fighting the cause of the worker,
in Washington, in Columbus, all
over the country. 1t is doing its ut
most to prevent selfish interests
from burdening the consuming pub
lie with exhorbitant prices on COM
modities, exhorbitant taxes, includ-
ing the most vicious Of all taxes,
the sales tax.
We want you to feel that your
interests are ours, too. As for your
penurious wages, we sincerely SYM
pathize with you, but we cannot
help you unless you are willing, like
the industrial workers, to help
yourselves. Today we are besiegad
with numerous requests for organ
ization, but not often do they come
from the millions of white collar
workers.
Our door is open to you.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Edward j. Duck,
Educational Director,
Local II, UAW-CIO.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-12-10

these editorials admit that
one reason only can be found
to explain why wages have in
creased? Almost every writer has
stated that demands by organized
labor are responsible for the "in-
flation bogey" he is telling you
about.
Of course there's reason for
paid propagandists and editors who
depend on pleasing the advertisers
for their very existence, to scare
the workers so that they will not
ask for wage increases. Manufac-
turers' profits during the war have
surpassed all past records or ex-
pectations, but still they are not
satisfied.
About Initiation
They would have you believe that
initiation can only occur when the
wage Garner or lower paid employe
ceases to be so lowly paid. And you
can't blame them for trying.

Burke AsSoiIs
PR. System q
Continued From Page /

Burke said, "The people of Toledo
have been unsold on the P. r. sys-
tenn by the practical proof given
by the system itself, that it does
not live up to the bright promises
which were made for it when it
was sold to the people of this COM
munity a few years ago."
Jones Defends System
In his statement favoring the
P. r. system, DR.. Jones, who was
one of those who originally fav-
ored the system some years ago
when it was adopted by the voters
of Toledo, took a position exactly
the opposite of Burke's. He stated
that the system was not undemo-
cratic and un-American, that it
was economical and that if elm
mated would lead to the old sys-
tenn of nominating elections which
were financial burden to the tax
payers.
DR.: Jones stated his belief that
the recently elected city Council
was good illustration of the
workings of the P. r. system, and
expressed the view that the. new
Council was the best ever elected
under P. R. He said that the men
elected were from various sections
of the city and that under them
all sections were represented.
Kenneth Hamel, clerk of the
Board of Elections, introduced the
subject but did not participate in
the debate. He explained the me-
chanics and principles of the sys-
tenn and told Of the various checks
which prevented errors from being
made in counting the ballots.
Rev. Russell Humbert was chair
man of the meeting.

Introducing ourselves as a new
contributor to The TOLEDO UN-
ION JOURNAL, we hope to pre-
sent a column interesting to others
as well as Surface Combustion
workers.
Congratulations to the member
ship! Union meetings have hit a
new high for our shop. Perhaps the
boys find that sound union pro-
gram has its interesting points as
we'll as its benefits.
Back from Cleveland and the
WLB panel hearing the committee
expected to get in a little relaxa-
ton only to find they must start
all over again on the incentive set
up. SOUR GRAPES!!! - After
beefing like H for three days
on their own proposal made in
Cleveland the management tried to
grab all the credit at Fridays shop
meeting-or did you notice?
The Union time study men will
start their work soon with the ex-
pectation of a certain amount of
gripping. Don't forget, these men
are working for you and give them
a little consideration before you
begin beefing.
ODD BITS-If you want your
picture taken by an expert" see
Jack LeFort. Be sure to see some
of his samples-MMMl The black
jack game, so noticeable in the
standard furnace department, has
lost its appeal to Art. WHY?
Boys-you really missed something
when you didn't attend the oyster
supper given by the ladies auxiliary
last Friday. BOY-OH?BO The
new program for the lunch wagon
will benefit all of us if we cooper
ate to make it work as it should.
Is that rumor seeping from the Of
flee true?
SPORTS-Three cheers for Ed
die Merritt. One for each 200
game on Thanksgiving eve. What
happned to Earl that night? All
his New Workers ended up in
Brooklyn. The boys are still how
ering around third place. Stop in
at the Bowl -O-Drome any Wednes-
day night and give the boys a boost.
Say Don have you sold that dodo
ball yet? It's queer but the new
ping-pong net hasn't improved Bill
LaVrar's playing.
A round of applause for Paul
Mcclellan for his fine work in ham
ding the dues for all of us. We
all extend a welcoming hand to the
president of the Machinist union
in our shop and six of his co-mem-
bers on the occasion of their join
ing with us. Their decision has
given US a solid UNION front
against management.
For future news in the JOUR-
NAL give your choise bits of gossip
to any one of the committee and
they will see that it reaches your
reporter.
