Labor Doy Parade

That it takes more than hard rain
and wet pavement to dampen the spirit
of the CIO was evidenced in this years
Labor Day parade.
True, there were few who took to the
comparative dryness of nearby buildings
and awnings when the rain came down,
but for the most part, the marchers went
on TO the end, and even protested when the
line of march was shortened to get the
people out of the rain.
Regardless of animOsities from cer-
tain unfriendly sources, those who wit
messed the parade called it a great demon
stratiOn of loyalty to the workers cause,
and expressed the opinion that it was the
cream of the crop which took part in the
Labor Day parade--and that there was
plenty of cream.
The CI0 has put on larger parades in
the city, but never better one than Mon
days, in which thousands of loyal workers
braved the dOwnpour and went on to stage
a great demonstration of solidarity and
faith in the cause they represent.

Slapped Down

When Council unanimously passed the
health ordinance at its meeting this week,
it in effect slapped down Councilman How
ard w. Etchen, who, for reasons of his
own, was opposed to the legislation.
Taking the health department out of
politics and placing it in the hands of
Board of Health, advocated by the To
LEDO UNION JOURNAL and others who
are interested in the welfare of citizens of
Toledo, was nothing more than bringing
the Toledo health department within the
existing state laws.
Regardless of the passing of the health
ordinance, the voters of Toledo should not
forget that ii was Councilman Howard w.
Etchen, aided and abetted by his fellow
cOnspiratOrs in Council who opposed the
health department and made an issue of it
not over two weeks ago.
There is no reason to suppose that
those who changed their minds about the
health department. have undergone sud
den change of heart. They are the same
political minded individuals they were be-
fore, but they cannot forget that election
day is rapidly approaching.

Congress Return

In few days, Congress will recOnvene
in Washington after establishing new
wartime record for sanctioned absenteeism.
Most of the congressman used the time
they were home TO repair their political
fences, some Of them will no doubt show
an altered attitude toward labor now that
they realize the workers of the country
are thoroughly aroused. Most of them will
not forget that election is but one year
away.
Congressman Homer A. Ramey was one

workers of his district, for Congressman
hamey chose to ignore more than 10000

Third War Loan

No better time could be found for the
opening of the Third War Loan Drive than
the week marked by the surrender of Italy.
Unconditional surrender of the Italian
government to the Allied armies, while not
ending the war, has been a giant stride in
the direction of victory, and the climax OF
the war has been reached.
Instead of speculating on how long
Germany and Japan will be able to hold
out against the growing might of Allied
arms, or wishing it was all over, we must
all continue our efforts unabated.
No better way could be found to show
our confidence in victory and our anxiety
to achieve it, than by giving the present
war loan drive our fullest support This Is
not the time to ease up in our efforts, in
deed. it should be time of increasing
them.
Workers of Toledo will not be found
wanting in their support, either on the
production line or in giving their govern
ment the financial aid which it must have
in order to carry this war to successful
conclusion They will not fail now. The
Third War Loan must be success.

clouds are overhead, and the rain is pouring and
people are getting a soaking, that takes some
thing than just ordinary courage.
Sometimes our older members feel that the
younger people are not just as strong for their
union as they are; but from what greeted my
eyes, l am positive that there are thousands of
our younger members who are just as enthused
and whoehearted in their beliefs about the union
as we were and are.
OUR FUTURE
With membership that will turn out thou
sands strong and parade through a downpour of
rain l don't believe we need be particularly wor-
ried about the future of our union. Adversely is
the best thing that can happen to men organi-
cations, and the storm of Monday while it held
down our attendance, did bring out the fact that
we have good backbone of solid members who
are willing to stick to their union in the face of
what would and did keep many people away
If I had to pick people in whom had faith
as good union people, would walk right through
a parade on Labor Day marching through the
rain and pick out every single and woman
who stuck to his post.
We are constantly having the men and won<K /
in the armed forces held up to us as examples l.

Day that might give some of these people who
are always finding fault with labor to pause
and think.
Two soldiers were standing in the shelter Of
building watching rain-soaked parade going
by. One soldier said to the other, "Look at those
people out there marching. They don't have to
march; but are doing it anyhow. Some of our
guys ought to see that, maybe they would feel
different about their marching"

you who showed your loyalty in such fine way

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
UAW-CI0 conventions not tame affairs.
On the contrary, they are extremely lively and
interesting. Our organization was not founded nor
advanced by a group of gentle aristocrats; but
by two-fsted hardhitting workers who had to
fight for their very existence. These people are
not given over to soft pedal work at conversions.
AS result, issues discussed frankly, some
times with great amount of emphasis; but for
the most part, honestly and fearlessly.
In such an atmosphere and because all dele
gates represent a segment of the rank and-fie
workers, every delegate should approach his duty
in serious manner. There are opportunities for
fun and pleasure, of course but, the primary
purpose of the delegate is to represent his people,
the workers back home who are depending upon
the delegates to represent their best interests.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Principal of the duties of the delegates to the
convention is the election of officers This is an
important consideration for no organization can
be better than its leadership, particularly when
organization is as large and powerful as the
UAW-CIO.
Local 12 is an important part of the UAW-
CIO With its 60 delegates and 235 votes, it is an
organization which ranks Importantly in the great
Union of which 1t is part. Our delegates should
take their duties seriously, consider the problems
of the convention; vote intelligenty and honestly
upon all issues involved, and when it comes to the
election of officers, consider the record of the
candidate. We are free to elect whomever we may
chooses but again. the main issue is the advance
ment of the membership of Union.
/ have every confidence that Local II dele--
gates will give a good account of themselves

all to know that this year never before the
deliberations take Importance and sig
nficance in the light of what has happened dur
ing the past II months.
War and hostile Congress have altered con-
dtions considerable since last met in Chicago,
and hope that these two major problems will
get the serious attention and consideration of
each and every delegate.

twice the figure for 1889.
According to Mr.. Paurs statis-
tics, the profits acquired by
American industry out of war
production have zoomed skyward
after taxes, as follows:
1889 ............$ 50, ,040, 100000
1910 ............ 4,777,000,000
1941 ............ 7,000,000,000
1912 ............ 7,400,000,000
1943 (estimated) .. 8,300,000,000
Considering the hardships i'm
posed on industry by troublesome
government bureaucrats, and the
evil influence of the ornery labor
unions, the stockholders seem to
have done right well by them
selves.
WALL STREET DOPE TALLIES
Of course, there are some ex-
perts in the art of self-hypno-
tism who will challenge these
figures. Everybody knows that
the daily papers have said that
the United States Treasury is
burdened with bureaucrats who
do nothing but sit up nights
gnawing their pencils while they
dope out new tortures with
which TO bedevil business.
If a rhythmic dancer managed
to sneak into the Office of Eco
nomic Warfare, is it not reason
able to suspect that some Inysti-
cal bureaucrat dreamed up Mr..
Paul's statistics out of a crystal
ball?
No--the self-hypnotists will
have to snap out of it on this
one. Wall Streets own figures
tally closely with Mr.. Pauls an
alysis of corporate profits.
Ii PER CENT OVER 1912
The National City Bank, in a
report on the operations of some
$40 industrial firms, including
the bulk of big business, reports
that their corporate take this
year, after taxes, is averaging
IA per cent higher than in 1912.
A Wall Street publication
called "Barron's" spills the beans
on the banks by reporting that
the profits of Is of the biggest
of them have gone up II per
cent over last year.
No competent economist has
come forward to refute the find
ings of Mr.. Paul. His figures
have been condemned to death by
silence.
Naturally there have been no
front page stories splashed in
big, bold type t. tell this tale of
war profiteering. Every import
ant editor and publisher knows
that it is the workers and farm
ers who have been raking in the
big dough in this war.
Sales Tax Slogan
In fact, the greedy tillers of
soil and producers of war weap-
ons have acquired so many rich
es that their opulence is being
cited as a slogan for national
sales tax.
The argument on this score is
that the little folks have more
dough than they know what to
do with at time when ration
ing prevents the purchase of ad-
ditional consumers goods. The
extra nickels and dimes are said
to be burning holes in the pock-
cts of the poor.
To prevent initiation, therefore,
a national sales tax should be
levied to drain off the excess
earnings of the working popula-
ton.
A sales tax will be more eff
fective than increased taxation
of corporate profits, in the fight
against initiation, anyway - be-
cause everybody knows that the
rich save their money, which
makes it non-inflationary.
We could go on like this for
another page, but our typewriter
has gone on strike against the
flow of so much malarkey from
its outra ped KEYS.
