and the demand for a "profes-

But politics, the element most
feared by the early board was
greatly responsible for Cody's
success. A large share of his

VIII You Reqisfer7

There are men and women in Europe
today who are killing and being killed be-
cause of the denial of their rights.
There are thousands of our soldiers in
vading Europe who are fighting killing
and being killed because we believe it is
wrong to deny men the rights which we
conceive to be sacred.
We are working long hours and making
sacrifices in order that our crusade for the
four freedoms, including the right to vote,
may be successful.
And in the face of all these things, we
still have people who fail TO appreciate
their own blessings, and for number of
reasons fail to east ballot and refuse to
seek TO regain their right to vote.
II seems hardly possible that any EN-.
lightened worker would fail to vote this
year or next, particularly in the face of all
that has occurred since the beginning of
the year. Yet we dare not let this opportu-
nifty pass TO call on all the workers to take
advantage Of the remaining days before
registrations are closed and they lose their
voting rights for another year.
This paper has sought to show some of
the issues of the municipal campaign and
will continue TO bring the issues before the
workers who read this paper. Those issues
are real interests which involve every citi-
zen Of Toledo. They are issues which
should be decided by the vote of every
eligible citizen of Toledo.
VIII you take advantage of the remain
ing eight days which intervene before reg
istratiOns are closed, and go to the Board of
elections, 2l7 Superior ST., and register?
VIII you take an interest in your own well
fare and that of your city and regain your
right to vote?
It's up to the people of Toledo particu.
larry the workers, to get out this fall and
show their strength. It's up TO them to
decide II they are satisfied with the pres.
ent city government and its record, or if
they wish to make some changes.
However you may feel about it, you
still owe it to yourself to vote this fall. If
you have lost your right TO vote, go now
and regain it and express yourself with
ballots in the coming fall election. Don't
be Indifferent to your own interests and
neglect them This is your business. Take
care sf it. Register NOW.

PoIifieI Unity

Every union minded worker of Toledo,
regardless what his affiliatiOn may be, VIII
welcome the good news that at last the
CIO and AFL have united for political
action.
Every practical-minded worker recOg-
niZes the Importance of unity of action IN
the political sphere, particularly now that
Congress has demonstrated its mOnu-
mental stupidity in fastening the Smith
ConnaIly strike provoking bill on labor, and
in preparing other reactiOnary legislation
with which it hopes to hamstring the
unions.
In making unity for joint political
action reality i'm Toledo the workers are
creating a source of strength and power,
which, if intelligently handled, can become
a weapon not only for the defense of labor;
but one which can become powerful con-
structiye force in this community, state
and natiOn.
Already the first big step has been
taken and successfully mastered. The fact
that the two great unions, the AFL and
CIO, could sit down and realistically dis
cuss their mutual problems, come to a sat
isfactOry working agreement and plan a
course of action, bespeaks the practical
turn of mind which labor has if it sets it,
self to tackle the common problems which
the economic and political conditions of
the day produce.
When Congress gets down to the task
of destroying labor, orthodoxy and theory
no longer are practical. This then is the
time for labor, regardless what its affilia-
tions may be, to become part of this
powerful force which has been welded to-
gether in the crucible of anti-IabOr re-
action.
This is not the time to debate on
metaphysics when labor is once more being
subjected to the attentions of those who
seem more concerned with the destruction
of labor, than they are in the destruction
of the unspeakabIe evils of fascism and
naziism.
Now is the time for labor to herald its
political unity. Now is the time to plan to
take the place to which our numbers and
Importance entitle us. Now it the time to
work for ourselves, not each in his own
way and with an eye for his own advance
ment but all together for our mutual ad-
vancement. Labor is alert in Toledo. Labor
is on the march. Let us march united to
the great victories which we can gain il
we will but recognize that we are all work
ing together.
Political unity can and will be reality
if the workers will it.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-09-24

pointment which these failure have brought, there
has always been a hope and desire on the part
of some of US to eventually find a common ground
on which we could meet and attack our mutual
problems.
A BEGINNING
When the Teamsters Union and Local IL
ioined forces this week for political unity, it
marked a turning point in the political destlnes
of the workers of Toledo. 1t means that two of
the largest Unions in the state of Ohio the one
belonging to the AFL, the other to the ClO, have
come to recognize the perils which face all labor
and have resolved to do something about it.
Franz Beracher Don Pfeiffer and other
leaders of the Teamsters Union have met with
several of us of Local IL and discussed our prob
lens and hopes. We have looked upon our posi-
tions as being identical far as the political
conditions are concerned and we have decided
that since our economic interests are the same,
there is no reason why should not unite and
present common front to the enemies of labor
who even now plot the downfall of all organized
labor.
There is every reason why every Union in
Toledo should become part of the political unity
group and take an active interest in protecting
the aims of labor
| want to extend the invitation of Labor,
Joint Committee for Political Action to eve
union in this city, regardless what union it may1
be, to join with u.s. want to add my own personal
invitation to every CIO, AFL and Railroad Broth
erhood organization to make this unity become
greater reality time goes on.
POINT FOR 1914
Needless to say we are pointing for 1914
when the national elections take place. Next year
will see one of the greatest fights in the history
Of labor, and we must begin now to prepare for
the future.
We do not know if the will be over by the
time election comes around next year or not. One
thing we do know is, that the same forces which
are now seeking to destroy and obstruct labor
will still be in the saddle hoping and trying to
increase their gains of last year in order to COM
pete their program against those who work.
There is only one sensible thing for labor to
do-Unite and prepare to fight and destroy those
who would destroy without caring to which
union we belonged.
