Avery
Continued from Page One

While Wolchok was tellins
the Board that Avery 'hates no
only organized labor but every
government agency and the
President of the United States,
CIO unions through Michigan
were rallying to the support ol
the strikers.
Emphasizing his fear that the
strike might spread to crucial
war industries Wolchok read q
resolution signed by presidents
of all CIO local unions in De-
troit pledging "t.Ie fullest ply
sical and financial support" to
the strike.
Poorest Paid Workers
Because of Wards refusal to
obey the WLB order of MAY,
1914, setting $20.25 basic
wage for a 44-hour week in De
troit stores, Avery's workers are
among the poorest paid in the
nation, Wolchok told Davis.
Avery also refused to comply
with another part of the Board S
order to give pay raises of 81
to $2.25 to employees earning
more than $35 a week.
After hearing Wolchok tell
the story of Wards four-year
defiance of the government,
Chairman Davis announced that
Montgomery Ward would be
given just four days to comply
with its orders. Failure to COM
ply will mean government seiz-
ure of Ward properties in all
cities where the Boards order
is not obeyed.
While the first wartime strike
authorized by an international
CIO union swung into high gear
with the support of 240 local
CIO unions in Detroit, Walter
Reuther, vice-president of the
United Auto Workers-CIO, pro-
posed that if the government
should take over the NV

Biggest Party
Members of the committee in
charge of the Christmas party,
Local IL officers and spectators
agreed that the parry was the
largest and best ever produced
by Local IL. When the doors
of the Civic Auditorium were
opened at 1:30 p. M, a few
adults and children strolled in
but by 2:30 p. m. the SRO sign
was put out and hundreds stood
along the side walls and in the
back of the Auditorium craning
their necks to watch the enter
ainment.
William Healey in charge of
the party pronounced it the
most outstanding success the
Local has ever achieved in the
eight years the party has been
staged. He said, "this tops all
other Christmas parties ever
given by the Local. We are
grateful to the Local for max
ing the party possible and ap-
preciate everything done by the
Women's Auxiliary, volunteers
who worked, the Flying Squad
ron and others who assisted us

cilmen Czelusta, Jurrus and

men Bame, Burke, Disable, Leh-
man, Roulet and Thacher.
Burke Asks Action
Several of Councilman Alloy
sius Czelusta's embattled con-
stituents from the fourth ward
attended the meeting to see if
they could discover whether the
Councilman was representing
them or Al Sobb, garage oper-
ator who maintains a junk yard
in the vicinity of Lagrange and
Mettler SITS.
Instead of Councilman Cze-
lusta rising TO seek to have the
nuisance abated, it was Council
man Tom Burke who rose and
told of the efforts of the fourth
ward residents to have the junk
yard moved. Mr.. Burke pointed
out that the maintenance of the
yard was contrary to the city
zoning law and asked that i'm
mediate steps be taken to force
the owner to comply with the
law. He said the owner knew
the yard was in conflict with the
zoning ordinance and had prom
ised to move it, but so far had
not carried out his promise. The
matter was referred to the city
manager for appropriate action.

One of the finest shows ever
produced at a Christmas party
was presented before the chill

tinued under the skillful direc-

Marilyn Scheerer presented
several acrobatic dances which
were exceptional we'll done and
showed talent that would win a
big hand on the professional
stage. Her drum majorette
dance was one of the outstand-
ing acts of its kind ever given
on a local stage and brought
lcud applause from children
and adults alike.
Donald Lea, magician, stood
the audience to its feet with his
magic and mystified the crowd
to its utter delight, while Joe
Adamski and his three little
boys put on an act of juvenile
acrobatics and balancing that
merits big-time billing.

Artillery shells are urgently
needed in the European theatre
of war due to the slowing down
of the drive into Germany
brought about b. bad weather
and a stiffening of German re-

also have played some part IN
the shortage of shells which are
