|DRICKER APPEALS
TO STATE c. 0. P.

teen UnpIedged Delegates
to National Convention

Hartford, Conn.,, June 2l.-(UP)
Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio
made personal appeal today to
each Of Connecticut's 16 unpledged
delegates to the Republican national
convention at Chicago, asking sup
port Of his presidential candidacy.
IT am so intensely interested in
seeing platform adopted which
will bring about he defeat of the
New Deal and its underlying phi
losophy Of absolutism," wrote
Bricker, II would be very glad to
have you drop in for a frank dis
cussion of these matters"
Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, Illinois,
also canvassed the delegates by
mail, for support of his candidacy,
while Mars Mclean, a delegate
from Texas. wrote that several sur
prising things may happen at this
convention. 1t is not out of the
cards that Dewey will not fight
for the nomination this year but
will make trade with Bricker to
take a one-term and not run in
1913, leaving the field open to
Dewey In 1948.'

DETAIL FOR TODAY
Scrambled Egg Fg~

SCRAMBLED EGG Is the gold on
a Navy officers cap visor. The
reason for it being called that is
Simply because It looks like q
SCRAMBLED EGG. Only officers
with the rank Of Commander and
above wear 1t, the amount Of
SCRAMBLED EGG varying with
the rank. Regardless Of the
amount, an enlisted man is on his
toes the moment he spots the
SCRAMBLED EGG. To him 1t is
o mark Of high rank and he will
make doubly sure that he Is con-
Quoting himself in a military
manner when in the presence Of
one wearing SCRAMBLED EGGS.

Claims Excessive
Labor turnover

Study of applications for GER
tificates of availability on file in
the Toledo office of the United
States Employment Service, al
though not completed, provide
definite clues relative to exces-
sive rates of turnover in Toledo
war plants.
One dominant reason is that
many employers have not been
disposed to attempt to retain
their work forces, but rather
have permitted free exit to all
who want to leave and have de-
pended upon constant stream
of replacementS.
Another is the fact the USES
office itself has been lenient, at
least in some cases, in issuing
certificates to workers.
AS a by-product of the study,
it was revealed Withdrawals from
the labor market in Toledo be-
cause of military inductions are
comparatively light.
These facts, and additional
ones forthcoming when the study
is completed will be used by
Ralph o. Snyder, acting VINO
area director, in program being
launched to reduce the rate of
turnover in Toledo war plants.

Pullman Sues
Go Union

CHICAGO, March 20 (FP)-
There's nothing small about or
ganized labor today.
Pullman, the sleeping car mo-
nopoly, underscored that by fill
ing million dollar suit against
the Pullman Local of United
Steelworkers (CIO).
The trust, now under Depart
ment of Justice scrutiny, de-
clares its feelings were hurt
when The Keel, Local 1928 S
paper, declared that the company
was being too modest in describ-
ing its war profits.
Pullman took full pages in
Chicago newspapers to tell peo-
pie about its small profits. The
Keel spoofed Pullman by pub
fishing the company's actual
profits and adding that the pa
per the ads were printed on
could have been better used to
provide towels and other paper
supplies in the company's wash
rooms.
This is the second million dol
lar libel suit filed against unions.
Montgomery Ward has a similar
suit against United Retail,
Wholesale and Department Store
Employees (CIO).

Dor, called upon the organiza-
tions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to divorce them
selves from any joint political
action throughout the country.
81 can oily conceive that this
was motivated by the short
sighted jealousy of an old, man
who cannot see the future Clear
ly, who hesitates to partipate in
the building of future, wlo
would rather fight an immedia e
and unnecessary battle, in the
house of labor, than. to carry on
a joint campaign for the protec-
ton of all labor and all people
in this nation"
Similar pleas for CIO-AFL un-
derstanding and joint action in
common fight were voiced at the
conference by Mayor Flo
relic H. LaGuardia of New York
and Jacob S. Potofsky, secretary
treasurer of the CLOS Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers.

Assessment
Is Due

Notice of the International
UAW-CIO assessment levied by
the Executive Board in its recent
Los Angeles meeting have been
sent out to all affiliated units of
Local IL by Randolph Gray, Lo-
cal IL financial secretary.
The assessment of 81 is due
and payable by April l. With
the 60-day grace period allowed
by the International Constitution
this means that the assessment
must be paid not later than mid
night of May 81. Mr.. Gray
pointed out that the penalty for
non-payment is the same as that
for non-payment of union dues
suspension from membership,
which requires payment of a
fine for reinstatement.
Mr.. Gray called attention to
the fact that many members of
the Local pay their dues one year
in advance and warned that pay
ment of the dues in advance does
not excuse members from the
payment of the assessment.
He urged all those who pay their
dues ahead to take care of the 81
assessment as soon as possible
Office hours for the dues office
are daily from 8 a. m. to $50
p. m. and Saturdays from 8 a. m.
to 2:30 p. m.
