Imagine This Happening
In Toledo

LOS ANGELES - (FP) - The
Los Angeles City Council
capped the areas celebration of
price control week by unanim-
ously adopting a resolution urg-
ing Congress to renew the price
control act.
The resolution was introduced
by Councilman Ned r. Healy
as a means of doing something
constructive toward preventing
initiation" Healy received the
Democratic nomination for con-
gress in the 18th A. D. in the
recent primaries and will at
tempt to unseat Republican Nor
ris Poulson, who voted against
subsidies and to override the
Presidents veto of the tax bill.

TWU Reps Cotton Price
Increase Amendment

NEWARK, N. J.-(FP)-From
the workers who help clothe the
world came strong protest
against the textile industry-in-
spired Bankhead amendment to
the price control act which
would raise the price of cotton
clothing sky high.
Regional Director Sol Stetin
of Textile Workers Union (CIO) /,
in letters to New Jersey SEN
ators, pointed out that the
amendment, lobbied for by the
Cotton Council & Textile In
stitute, would drastically weak
en- the price control act. The tex
tile industry is already making
5 to 10 times as much profit as
it did prior to the war, Stetin
said.

All workers who have broth
ers, sisters or friends in the

known to them that they have
the right to vote in the coming
election. The unions of Ohio
h ave m de it possible for
all servicemen and women to
vote, so tell them to get on the
ball and take advantage of the
right.
If the people at our plant
would just give their team in the
YMCA league a little more sup
port at the games they would
help the team lot. How about
having more of our folks come
out to the ball games and lerd
hand with a couple of cheers.
Superintendent Edwardson has
told the committee that the COM
pany cannot hire more men until
a certain number of women
have been employed. While we
hate to see the women get their

don't the company begin to hire?

On Work-Fiqht Bill

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Sen.
Robert r. Reynolds ID. N. c.,
chairman of the Senate Military
Affairs committee announced
June l that no further hearings
would be held on the work-fight
bill. So far he has heard from
both the AFL and CIO in a
unanimous chorus of dissent, all
warning the senate committee
that the bill would do more
harm than good to the war eff
fort.
The last witness was Pres. r.
]. Thomas of the United Auto
mobile Workers (CIO). who
said "let us once and for all
stop threatening our war work
ers with the club of forced la
Dor and get down to a unified,
intelligent consideration of the
problem"

THANKS UNIT

| want to express my thanks
to all those members of Auto

While I'm about it, l want to
thank those who gave me vote
of confidence both on my own
account and o. sustaining me in
the choice of Max Koralewski as
vice chairman.
There is another point ]

namely, the SerVicemen's Gift
Fund. RumorS have reached ME
that | am supposed to be opposed
to the fund. In reply, l would
like to say that l am not only in
full support of the fund; but that
| give my fullest support to the
servicemen'S committee which
has done a splendid job for a
worthy cause.
Finally, l would like to pledge
myself to all Auto-Lite workers
to carry on the duties of my
office to the best of my ability
and in the interest of all the
workers, regardless of any diff
ferences of opinion which might

my sincere hope that your COM

may make progress, guided by
true union principles and a

.W!i||ys Seeing Eye


We have a story to tell the
laboring class of people, which
we are sure they will enjoy.
Once upon a time, there was
dept a very nice dept, and
this dept. was called COS. Now
this dept, was practically covered
by an overhead conveyor, a
couple of such conveyors to be
exact, conveyors which carried
65 and 85 pound shells, hot
shells. which came from the
heat treat. Now the one large
overhead, which our story is
about, the one which carried the
hot shells, was in perfect shape;
not a weak spot in it. 1t only
broke once or twice a night.
There were a few hundred
workers doing their jobs under
this conveyor. Of course, there
was danger when the conveyor
broke that few people might
be killed, but then the people
who might have been killed were
merely the laborers.
1t was true that some of this
conveyor had wire netting under
it, not the best wire netting to
be sure, but after all what could
one expect. The netting would
catch the shells if they fell
straight down. Once in while,
the shells flew out of the con-
veyor and barely missed the
workers. But it was only once in
a while, so nothing was done
about it. No one had been killed
and there must be a legitimate
reason for fixing anything in
sos.
Now in one building of this
department, there were some
girls. These girls worked di-
rectly under the overhead as did
many others. The only differ
ence between them and the
others were was that these girls
had no netting to protect them,
nothing at all in case of break
out there The girls complained,
Re stewards complained, but
n 4kays came back the same echo,
.al 1mcrrow we will fix that. To
,IONrrow. Then came the morrow
$ and finally new excuse was in
vented, 'we can't get the net
ting, don't you know there is a
war on" they said. Absolutely
can't get any at all"
Then came the day 1t was
one of those rare occasions which
happened daily. The conveyor
broke! This time it broke above
tn e h e d S Of tn e girls.
BY a mira Gle there were
no shells at the m o m t
passing above, but the heavy
baskets piled up striking one of
the girls several times, while the
rest of them went scrambling
under the lower conveyors to the
nearest safe place they could
find. We'll, WE'LL" said Super
vision, someone nearly got
killed. So that evening they

that Joseph Kardos of the AckIin

looking at it makes his mouth
Water.)
And that Ted Modrowski.
chairman of the American Can
Unit, is doing a fair job Of
housecleaning these days. eve
warned him, that once his talents
were discovered he would be d
very busy man.
And that Ollie (BilD Gozdow-
ski is endeavoring to organize
an indoor team within the Air
Way Unit. Were willing to
wager that Bill elects himself
for the mascot's position.)
And that another difference
between de; tn and taxes is that
death doesn't get worse every
time Congress meets.
DON'T ASK US
Whether Jim Crowley of the
international Office was ever a
football coach at Fordham Uni
versity?
Why Tony Zaborowski or
Walter Bob Gerasimiak of
Klopping's don't catch the big

Why 26 members stepped for

a few tWo-by-fours to.

Now we Will bring this story
up to date. The department
changes. 1t is much different
now that it becomes necessary
to run an overhead conveyor
through the bosses office. The
change isn't even finished. No
shells are run, but suddenly out
of nowhere, there appears nice
solid tray under the conveyor
which travels through the bosses
office, bordered on all sides with
the strongest wire fencing one
could wish to find, war or no
war. There is no possible chance
of any shell falling out of that
cage.
The department is still run
ming full blast. The laborer is
still working under the old net
ting, the girls under the boards.
But everything is fine, supervi-
sion is safe.
WISHFUL THINKING:
Wish the shells would sort of
hurry back as the old place
doesn't seem the same without
Tillie. Sure miss her more than
these mere words can say (.
Wish Dora Kiroff's operation
was over with and a success i.
With the shells would sort of
push themselves around a little
while Wish Bob Pomeroy
would tie up his apron strings a
wee bit better cause they are
such a temptation as is Wish
the roof was off so that the fresh
air could carouse around a little
and play hide and seek with the
sunshine we don't get Wish
the hospital had a few more
Becky's that everyone could air
their troubles to. And last of
all we wish the war were over
with; and the boys and girls were
all back home once more. E.
We would like to extend our
sympathy to Brother John Sabo
and his family in the death of
his mother who passed away
recently.

spoke on working conditions and
how much the workers are con-
tributing to the war effort by
working every day. He spoke
too on the necessity of cooper
ating with your stewards and
the executive committee.
He explained to the members
lust how far they have gone
with the contract and wage
negotiations. His talk at the
shop was greeted with frequent
applause. Friday night he re-
peated this speech at the Unit
meeting and added new idea.
Like all of Brother Dicks ideas
for the members of Willys, j
contains everything we have
been dreaming about for years.
You can figure that he sold
something very fine. More pow
er to you Brother Gosser and we
