Milk Lobby
Seeks Price
Increases

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-(FP)
One of the most expert and ruth
less lobbies in Washington is in the
midst of a summer campaign to
raise the price of milk to consum-
ters 2 1-2 cents a quart, and but
ter II cents a pound. 1t is the Ma
tional Cooperative Milk Producers
Federation.
Spokesman for big dairy COM
panies have been accompanying
NCMPF representatives in calling
to put the heat on OPA officials.
When a delegation from Connecti-
cut visited OPA, the milk produc-
ers' representatives asked for price
hikes which cost the consumer two
cents more a quart. The dairy men
agreed, but said l Ia cents should
go to the farmers and the remain
ing three-fourths of a cent should
go to the distributors.
John Brandt, president of the
.NCMPF, is a member of Frank E.
Gannett's Committee for Constitu-
tional Government, which is MAX
ing efforts to have John Roy Carl
sons Under Cover" suppressed.

American fascism reaches into con-
gressional halls in the attempt to

False Claim Nets
A Million or Two

WASHINGTON (FP) - A fed
eral grand jury here Aug. 16 in
dicted William Scrimgeour, engi-
neer and contractor, with making
false statements to the government
in connection with navy contracts
for war supplies. He is subject to
a $4,000 fine or 10 years impris-
onment or both as maximum pen
atty on each of 10 counts. His
sons, Maxwell and c. Bailey Scrlrn-
geour, were named as aids, SUBJ
iect to the same penalties.
From September, 1889, to June,
1912, William Scrimgeour obtained
in his own name more than Sl,-
OO0, 900 in navy contracts and more
than $4,000,000 in contracts with
various government agencies
He was neither a manufacturer
nor regular dealer, as ne CLAIMED
to be in the contracts. His proflts
averaged $3.50 and ran as high as
$3.50. He arranged to have deliv-
cries made by the real manufac,
turers, under his own name and
labels.

Scale Co.
Fosters FDR
Attack

smoke a Camel. This is the
promised land"
No Protest From Union
General concensus of opinion
among Scale Co. workers, is that
the antiRoosevelt propaganda is
about as dirty piece of writing
as they have ever seen. One of the
callers to the Journal said, II can
plainly see that the manufacturers
hate Roosevelt worse than they do
Hitler. They are more concerned
with defeating Roosevelt than they
are the Axis. The Scale Company
is typical of most of the manu-
facturers, except that most are
not quite so bold about their
hatred for Roosevelt"
Another caller said, at gets my
goat to see our Union sitting back
letting the company get away with
such vicious piece of anti-Roose-
welt propaganda. This dirty article
should have swastikas for border
and a picture of Herr Goebels at
the top of it. Even Goebels couldn't
do better job of disrupting
American unity than the Scale
company is doing.
More Comments Pour In
Still another comment made by
Scale worker was, "the pious
management of the company pays
for war bond advertising, advis-
ing the workers to invest in DEM
ocracy and a free America and
then turns around and attacks the
President who is our commander
in-chief. We are advised to buy
bonds and work for the war effort,
and then witness our company
permitting a rotten attack on the
man who is at the head of the war
effort.
All callers agreed that if the
company dominated union did not
have the courage to ask the COM
pany management to remove the
anti Roosevelt literature, they
would send a committee to the
company demanding removal of
the vicious attack upon the Presi-
dent.
Sentiment against the company
management continues to rise be-
cause of its permitting the attack
OR Roosevelt, and it is believed
that unless the piece is soon re-
moved, it will be taken down by
the workers themselves.

the various night spots around

and promising everybody he will
finish one, two or three in the COM
ing election.
Councilman Etchen is particular
ly anxious to get rid of City Man
ager George N. Schoonmaker and
if elected will leave no stones un-
turned to get his own candidate for
the position into office.
Refuse to Raise Revenue
Study of the official actions of
Councilmen Etchen, Czelusta and
Thacher reveal that they have con-
sistently voted against any and all
propositions to increase the reve-
nue. of the city, but have voted for
expedittres over and above the reg
ular city expenses.
In the city managers recent re-
port he wrote: even though the
amount Of this refunding (debts)
will be cut in half in 1943, it is
still an expensive, unsatisfactory
and unstable means Of financing,
and one which should be avoided if
possible"
In the face of the managers re-
port and the fact that this condi-
tion apparently still persists, it ap-
pears that Council still has job
to do if it wishes to avoid this is
sue in the campaign. This, coupled
with the undercover attempts to
wreck the administration are just
two Of the many issues before the
voters in this years municipal cleo
ton.

on whether to accept the UNIV.
This was the procedure followed
by the three-man negotiating
committee, headed by President
Daniel Tobin of international
Brotherhood of Teamsters, ap-
pointed to discuss peace terms
with UNIV President John l..
Lewis. Tobin's committee failed
to make any recommendation in its
report to the council Aug. 10.
Bit Unusual, Says Green
In announcing the councils deci-
sion, AFL President William Green
admitted: eyes, this is a bit un-
usual, but so many technical ques-
tions enter into it." The technical
questions concern jurisdictional
conflicts between the UNIV and
various AFL unions, which Lewis
has refused to discuss until the
UMW's petition has been acted on,
Green said.
One of the technicalities involves
UNIV District so, which operates
in several fields now covered by
AFL unions, Green said. Another
involves the Progressive Mine
Workers, given an AFL charter
after the UNIV left the federation.
Lewis Sends 100000 Check
Although Lewis sent along
S60,00c check with his letter of
application several months ago to
bring the UMW's 100000 members
into good standing, the councils
action precludes the seating of
UNIV delegation at the coming
convention.
The council voted to continue
Tobin's committee as a standing
committee. Other members are
President George Harrison Of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Clerks and
AFL Second Vice-President Mat
thew Woll.

pressed their complete dis
satisfaction with the COM
pany dominated union and its
contract. Few of the workers have
ever seen their contract, which was
negotiated in 1941 and which con-
tains but few benefits for the
workers.
Members of the workers group
met at Union Hall on Thursday
night and elected their new execu-
tive shop committee, which will
serve during the organizational
drive.
Ralph Brown, international rep
resentative assigned to the Auto
Lite shops, outlined the NLRB pro-
cedure in gaining recognition and
urged the workers to give the new
committee their fullest support and
cooperation. He announced that In
ternational Director Richard Cos
ser had appointed President Claude
Snavely of Local IT'S of Fostoria
to work full time in assisting with
the membership drive, and said he
would be retained until after the
NLRB election.
Howard Cutcher and John Begg
from the Toledo Auto-Lite plant
were introduced by Mr.. Brown, and
spoke to the workers. Both speak
ers encouraged the Fostoria en-
ployes in their organizational eff
forts and pointed out the gross in
equalities between the underpaid
Fostoria workers and those in To-
ledo and other plants of the cor
poration.

Cool Production
Climb Slowed

the mines shut down.
Bituminous coal production for
the week ending Aug. z was esti-
mated at 11,S00,000 tons, compared

Rent Control
Due For
Sabotage

WASHINGTON, Aug. II (FP)--
Business-as-usual forces within
OPA are attempting to engineer a
move which would sabotage rent
control, recognized by organized
labor as the one outstanding sue
cess of OPA, along the precise
lines suggested in the Smith COM
mittee report on rent control.
Their plan was revealed to the
rent division staff when a survey
committee from OPA's section on
organization and planning, headed
by Acting Deputy Administrator
Edward N. Hay, began nosing
about in rent offices this week.
Hay has worked closely wi t h
former Senator Clyde Herring Of
OPA, who had taken a back seat
in OPA councils after his Deacon
committee turned in a report on
rent which was so scurrilous and
personal that Administrator Prem
tiss Brown ordered it suppressed.
The Deacon committee was drawn
from Hays staff.
Deacon Being Recalled
j. B. Deacon, vice president of
Schenley Distillery, former OPA
dollar-a-year man, went back to the
distillery business shortly after
wards, but ominous rumors are
current that he is being recalled.
The new committee first let it
be known to OPA rent employees
that it intended to reduce the legal
staff of rent in the Washington Of
flee by half, despite the fact that
it totals only Is, hardly more than
are involved in making regulations
for hog bristles, thread, rayon lin
ings and maraschino cherries.
Next, the committee let the cat
out of the bag by saying. in ef-
feet, Don't worry about it now,
but what we hope to do is to cut
down the entire field force on rent
control to skeleton staff, leaving
most of the work in districts and
regions to voluntary committees.
Already, with the cuts necessi-
tated in field personnel by con-
gressional slashing of OPA appro-
priations, rent staffs over the
country are badly crippled, cannot
care for all complaints coming in,
and are piling up a huge backlog
of cases. A skeleton staff would
mean rent control could not be en-
forced, and this would mean a huge
rise in rents, which represent 25
per cent of workers income.

workers was outlined.
Organization at the Sarnia
plant has progressed to the
point where a petition for repre-
sentation has been filed with the
Labor Court of Ontario. Ninety
five per cent of the workers have
already signed with the UAW.
Ralph Brown, Toledo, assistant
director of the Auto-Lite shops,
brought a message from Auto-Lite
workers of Toledo to the Canadian
workers. He extended an invitation
from Regional Director Richard
Gosser of Toledo to become mem
bers of the Auto-Lite Intra- Cor
poration Council which embraces
many organized shops in the cor
poration.
Regional Director Burt drew a
hearty response from the gather
ing on his program and his des-
cription of various corporation tao
tics and the methods used by the
union on dealing with them.
Also attending the meeting were
Fred Joyce, International repre-
sentative in charge of organiza-
tional work in the Sarnia plant,
Bernard Young and Walter Fru-
mueller, international representa-
tives from Port Huron, Mich.
William Simpson, president OF
the new Sarnia organization, ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the re-
suits of the meeting and promised
that the organizational work would
continue uninterrupted.
