Recalling that Avery con-
tended he was entitled to
NLRB election in the plant be-
cause of his knowledge from the
drop in check-oH payments that
it represented only 18 to 200
of the workers, Wolchok offered
in evidence an official, uncashed
Ward check made out to the
union.
The check was in the sum of
s2,040 and the stub bore the
notation that it represented
checkoff payments for 1925
members employed in Chicago.
A total Of 1T workers who
voluntarily sign e d checkoff
cards either didn't work in the
month covered or left their jobs.
Wolchok's Statement
Wolchok said that since the
unions contract expired in De-
cember, the Ward check re-
presented the very latest COM
pany figure on the unions sta.
tus at Chicago. Since 4.7OO
workers are listed by the MI
RIB as eligible to vote, and 20%
of that would be $40 workers. il
is obvious that 2,048 is just un-
der 50fe of the total.
In addition, Wolchock said.
several hundreds" of Wards
employees were so intimidated by
the firms anti-union policy that
they refused to sign the volun-
tary check-off cards in order TO
hide their union membership
from the management. These
workers. he said, paid their dues
d r &c t ly to the union each
month-and the NLRB election
showed the union had an over
whelming majority, as Wards
m Is t have known from the
records.
Two other checks figured in
Wolchoks testimony. He said

Win Praise
In Survey

WASHINGTON, June 10
(FP)-Organization of con-
sumner co-operatives by
unions was indorsed by the
AFL June 8 in Labor's S
Monthly Survey, which said that
in these days of high prices and
poor quality goods in the stores,
union members are awake TO
consumers problems. Unions pro-
tect our income when we receive
it, but how can we protect our
selves when we spend it? Many
union members have already
found the answer: organize con-
sumers cooperatives; own and
control the stores that serve
you"
After pointing out the demo-
cratic organization of coopera-
tives, wherein business is de-
cided by majority vote, the Sur
vey said that in nearly so cities
AFL members are buying from
cooperatives and benefitting by
high quality goods at fair prices.
Record Sales
j.. More than II million fami-
lies in the U. S. are members OF
co-ops, and sales in all co-ops
reached nearly a billion dollars
in 1943, the article said. More
than 5000 coop retail stores
are selling groceries, gasoline,
farm equipment, clothing and
other items. These stores have
joined together and set up 80
wholesale houses to save them
money in buying in huge quan-
titles.
Wholesale co-ops now have
112 factories, owned by the
people, including flour mills,
bakeries and other factories pro-
canneries, gasoline refineries,
ducing foods etc. Co-ops return
to their members all savings
made by factories, WHOLESALERS,
and retail stores, amounting to
S25 million a year.

tor Reuther, Assistant Director

charge of the overall arrange
ments.
Thomas Tells Purpose
r. J. Thomas, president of the
UAW-CIO outlined the purposes
of the trip. He said that the
UAW wanted its women men,
bers, most of whom are new in
industry, to see how the war
weapons are used and stand up;
to have soldiers to become aware
of the work women are doing in
the war industries and learn by
meeting and talking with then
the kind of earnest and deter
mined women who are backing
up the armed forces on the prod
uction front.
Mr.. Thomas said that the
union wanted the UAW women
to learn how women in the
armed forces live and train and
what kind of work they do, and
to help solidify relations be-
tween the armed forces and civ
ilians by instilling even greater
confidence, understand
ing and respect for the part |
each has to do in the military
test against the enemies.
States represented by the 200
delegates include Michigan, III
inois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Missouri and Kentucky.
