WLB Gives
Peerless Workers
increases

In a directive issued last month
by the War Labor Board, workers
of the Peerless Moulded Plastics
Co., 401 Hamilton St., were given
substantial wage increases, ac-
cording to UAW-CTO Regional
Director Richard Gosser. Increases
granted were retroactive to No
vember 8, 1912.
Wage increases were based
upon the boards determination of
a sound and tested minimum going
rate for common unskilled labor in
Toledo. Rates for classifications
other than common unskilled labor
were adjusted in line with the de-
termination of minimum going
rates by the board for other clas-
sifications.
Contract negotiations were in
augurated last October by Joseph
Ditzel, at that time a representa-
tive of the international UAW-
ClO and now in the armed forces.
Final negotiations were carried
out by Robert Burkart of Regional
Director Gosser's office. Leslie
Barnes, former president of Local
%, and Floyd Sautmire, secretary,
assisted in the negotiations.

that the directive had been given.
He said, Eve have waited for a
long time to reach this point, and
worked hard to see to it that the
people at the Tank Depot would be
given the opportunity to express
their desires. We do feel confident
that we will get a large vote in
the election and that the people
out there will join with the thou
sands of others who are benefiting
by belonging to the UAW-CIO."
Harold Dean, Local IL repre-
sentative in charge of the Tank

equally as pleased with the direct
ive.. He too stated his belief that
the Tank Depot would vote over
whelmingly to be represented by
Local IL. eve know that the peo-
pie at the Tank Depot are anxious
to get their affairs settled and we
believe that they are going to be-
come a part of our Union which
will give them job security, seniori-
ty rights, good grievance procedure
and other benefits" said Dean.
Edward Duck, Local IL educa-
tional director, who assisted in the
organizational drive, stated that he
believed the vote would be over
whelmingly for the UAW-CIO. He
said the drive had taken longer
than usual but that was due to the
increase in employment in the
plant.
According to the NLRB order,
the election must be held within 80
days from the time of the issuance
of the directive. Local IL officials
believe the election will be held
some time during the third week
Of this month.

BEW Program
Blocked by Jones,
Wallace Charges

WASHINGTON (FP) - Vice
President Henry A. Wallace June
20 accused Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones of using obstruction
ist tactics" on the program of the
Board Of Economic Warfare,
which Wallace heads.
In a long, bristling statement
submitted to the senate appropria-
tions committee, Wallace declared
that Jones' "timid, business-as-
usual procedures" were blocking
the BEW in its "single-minded ef-
fort to help shorten this war by
securing adequate stocks of stra-
tegic materials" Jones, as head Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
supplies the unds for the BEW.
Jones countered with a demand
for congressional investigation Of
Wallace's charges, which he said
were "filled with malice and mis-
statements"
Wallace pointed out that Con-
gress had made funds available for
the stockpiling Of various strategic
materials as far back as 1889, and
that in the summer Of 1910 the
RFC was given funds for that pur-
pose.
Charges RFC Failure
From the summer Of 1910 until
we'll past Dec. s, 1941," Wallace
charged, "the RFC failed dismally,
so far as the import field was con-
cerned, to build the stockpiles au-
thorized and directed by the Con-
gress nearly 18 months before
Pearl Harbor.
Wallace cited quinine, used in
the treatment of malaria, as one
of the strategic materials whose
production Jones had stalled on for
months. 81 do not like to assign
motives, but it is difficult to escape
the conclusion that possible dol
lar loss held up this production
project" Wallace added.
He urged that the Extremely
competent group of businessmen
and technical engineers" employed
by the BEW ''be free from this
hamstringing bureaucracy an d
back-door complaining by Mr.. Jones
and his employees"
