Fight Against Pledge
News Of Labor
BY JACK CRELLN

Will the UAW-CIO revoke it's
wartime no-strike pledge at its
next convention?
There are many within the
ranks of the auto workers union
who think and hope that 1t will
10 just that.
However, aligned against them
are the officers of the interna-
tiona union, led by r. j. Thomas,
president, who has threatened he
will resign his position II the
union goes back on its solemn
rledge to the President and the
eople of this country.
AGITATION IN DETROIT
Thomas Is the only interna-
tional officer TO have made such
a commitment but there is little
doubt every other member OF the
executive board shares similar
feeling but, because of politics,
hesitates TO say so.
Agitation for revocation OF the
pledge stems mainly from shop
committees particularly in De-
troit.
Resolutions are being circulated
in all JAW locals asking for sup
port of this rebellion against the
unions officers and policies.
Leaders of the campaign claim
that IL the union restored TO itself
the right 10 strike arrangements
would be compelled 10 sit down
and bargain collectively.

day by Warren +. Bow, superin-
tendent OF schools. A message TO

teachers in each class:
"Our troops and those Of our
Allies are advancing on the
seas, In the air and on the land
In an attempt to conquer the
enemy.
This IL no time either for
rejoicing or for sorrow. IL In
the most solemn occasion In tho
history of our people. i believe
you will remember this moment
as long a. you live.
Let us bow our heads and be
silent q moment rs we think of
the courage and sacrifices Of our
men today. May God bless our
arms"

and silence when the invasion
starts. Charles A. Boyd. secretary
Of the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton. said.
p The moment the signal is given
clerks and customers will stop
where they are. Elevators will
proceed 10 the nearest floor and
remain motionless for the three

But HES ONLY HUMAN

But Thomas is only human, and
some Of his intimateS say he is
considerably worried over the re-
action within the union TO his con-
OF the Chrysler strike
beaderS.
After all, il isn't every union
leader who will order men TO go
through a picket line. And IL isn't
every union leader who will get
up and tell the membership that
IL has got TO live up to its con-
tracts.
We don't think Thomas should
he too worried. In JAW circles
they are betting odds Of 10 to ]
that the union will uphold the no
strike ple dge and will re-elect
their president by reclamation.

THEY MIGHT AGREE

Perhaps if some OF the rank and
file members OF the union had
seen and been told rs much about
this war as Thomas has they too
would agree that no grievance IL
more important than winning the
war.
A short time ago Thomas had a
meeting with Undersecretary OF
War Patterson and was h o " n
pictures that will never be re-
leased for public consumption
Those pictures were Of the blasted
and bleeding bodies of American
soldiers on every war front in the
world.
They made a deep impression
on Thomas. who has never for a
moment doubted the seriousness
OF the war.

SEE 1T KICKED AROUND

They charge that the union is
getting a kicking around and has
ever since il called of authorized
rrikes. One instance is cited where
superintendent of one OF the
largest tool and die plants here
dared the union 10 go on strike
after he fatty turned down their
request for adjustment of a minor
grievance.
'Tf we were empowered with
the right to strike that superin-
tendent never would have dared
to make such a statement" a
member OF the shop committee
said. AS h l.. the grievance IL
still hanging fre and the work
ers In the plant are getting
plenty hot"
Thomas reply to this is that II
management is not going 10 help
win the war then labor will have
10 do IL alone And he means just
what he SANS.

Anti-Franeo Spaniards
Will Meet in Paris -
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct 10.-The National
Spanish Union, composed OF anti
Fascist Spaniards in France, says
it plans to hold a congress in
Paris on October Is or shortly there
after to inaugurate a campaign
to have Generalissimo Francisco
Franco deposed and a "constitu-
tional regime" established.
Its announcement conceded with
reports of disorders in Spain which
members of the union said indi-
Gated the opposition of the bulk of
the Spanish population to Franco
The Congress likely will make a
formal request to the United States
and Britain to withdraw their recog-
milton of the Franco government, it
was reported.
Union members say that the at
titude of the United States, and espe-
cially Britain is the only substantial
remaining bulwark keeping Franco
In power.
The union is made up of Spanish
refugees who entered France after
the fall of the Loyalist government
and includes several groups such as
the National Alliance of Catalonia.
the Basque "Agrupacion," the Young
Republican Combatants and the
Spanish intellectual group.

BROOKLYN, April 9. - up -
Dem buns from Brooklyn are
flirting with the second division
as the 1914 National League open
er approaches because of a des-
perate infield situation that has
forced comeback attempt by
Manager Leo Durocher and made a
third baseman out of Outfielder
Dixie Walker.
With Billy Herman in the Navy
and Arky Vaughan sticking to his
Potter Valley, Calf, ranch, the
only returning regular is HOWE
Schultz, sos first sacker. He came
up late in 1943 and played only As
games, but he is regarded as a
find.
Durocher has an 18-year-old pro-
dizzy, Gene Mauch, at shortstop
and has reluctantly nominated him.
self for the keystone sack to steady
the youngster from California. Leo
does not expect to play as reg
ular, citing the "acorns" in his
elbow, but President Branch Rick
ey may have other plans. Frank
Drews, who was the second base
man until a few days ago, is here
on a look-see basis and has yet to
be purchased from St. Paul.
Walker, the peoples choice IN
Flatbush, will get 100 per cent vo-
cal support at third but hasn't
played there since the good old
days at Vicksburg, Miss, in 1929.

SPORTS TRAIL

fielding from the lads who would
not be in there at all if they had
to take their turns at the plate.
To give the pitchers break
when they had to face a guy with
a bomb in his bat every time they
threw ball, squads of left hand
ers and right handlers could be
kept in the bull pens with their
engines idling, SO that wher a left
handed batter came up southpaw
pitcher would be ready to go the
round, and vice versa.
Naturally such a system would
not be greeted with loud huzzahs
by the official scorekeepers, who
have trouble enough trying to keep
track of all the men who handled
the ball in rundown play, or in
deciding whether the ball which
trickled through the third base
mans legs was hit or an error.
However, the scribes keep track
of the substitutions in football, and
in some games that's like counting
sheep jumping over fence. 1t is
admitted, though, that it is not
necessary to keep track of every
tackle and block a football player
makes, as the only error column
in that game is listed after the
coach's name. His team either
does or it doesn't and he either
has job or he hasn't.
Anyway, it's an idea for Du-
mont ingenious brain to develop,
and it's guaranteed you'd see some
pretty fancy baseball.

NEW YORK, April 9.-LP)-There
is one our friend Ray Dulnont of
the semi-pros hasn't thought of yet
but he'll probably grab the idea
in a hurry and maybe try it out
the day he has his baseball players
running the bases backwards, for
wards and sideways. Sort of a
double feature, and it should be
perfect Nobody will know what S
going on.
Anyway, the major sports seem
to be coming around to the I'M
limited substitution system. First
it was football. Now basketball is
going to let the boys pop in and
out of games willy nilly. Whose
turn is it next?
Sure, baseball's, and with the
manpower situation as it is maybe
it's not such a bad idea, at that.
and it might even be expanded to
permit the loud-mouthed zap in
the stands back of third base who
tells the shortstop he couldn't
field a snowflake in blizzard to
get out there himself for play
or two and show how it should be
done
Football coaches have their Of
fensive and defensive teams which
they shuttle in and out as the oc-
casion demands, and this system
might be followed in baseball,
with the good fielders fielding anc
the good batters batting.
Some of the most potent slug
gers are something less than phe-
nomenal when it comes to play in
the field, and the woods are full
of good field, no hit players-those
guys who can go six miles for a
ball and have wings like tern
