Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1944-12-15

Newspaper articles relating to the
manpower shortages in various sections of
the country do not hold up in the face of
the facts which have been brought out by
responsible union heads.
Just few days ago, II. J. Thomas,
UAW-CIO president, not only showed that
the War Manpower Commissions claim
of shortage of labor in Detroit was un-
true, but that there was actually sur
plus of workers in the auto metropolis.
Periodic cries of labor shortages by
the VINO are beginning to evoke the same
response as the wolf, WOLF cry of the lad
who raised an alarm only to have those
who rushed TO the rescue discover that
there wasn't any wolf and the lad was
merely indulging in some good, clean,
childish fun.
To read of the VINO talking about
labor shortages and drafting labor at this
late stage of the war, in the face of the
cutbacks which have already occurred and
which will continue TO take place, smacks
of anti-labor and appears to be drive to
harass the unions and distract their atten-
ton from other more serious problems
Possibly some of the alarms raised by
the VINO are for the purpose of prevent.
ing workers from going from essential to
less essential work, a trend which very
likely will increase when it becomes eVi.
dent that the war is really nearing its end
But whatever its objective may be- the
VINO can be depended upon to come UP
with the "wolf" cry at regular intervals,
regardless what the situation in the labor
market may be.
Sometime, the VINO may tell us what
it has had in mind with its frequent COM
plants of labor shortages. In the mean.
time, please pass the salt.

No Strike Pledge

In a short time, all members of the
UAW-CIO will receive ballots to record
their vote for or against the no strike
pledge, decision which was made at the
Auto Workers Grand Rapids Convention
last September.
What the result of the vote will be Is
a matter of conjecture, but one thing is
certain, every man and woman who votes
will have had ample time to give the prop
osition full consideration. All who vote,
and everyone should, should weigh the
question in their own minds and seek to
draw their own conclusions and come to
their own decision independently.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that when the resolution authorizing
the referendum was passed by the con-
vention, it was specifically stated that the
International Union newspaper was for
bidden to express any opinion, for or
against the no-strike pledge. This injunc-
ton has been faithfully observed by the
"AutO Worker.
While this newspaper does not come
under the terms of the convention resO-
luton, it will, by the decision of its policy
making officers refrain from taking sides
to influence the vote on the referendum.
This is as it should be, for if there are
have an opinion on the nO-strike pledge,
we have failed to meet them. Minds seem
to be fairly well made up on the issue and
it is doubtful if very many could be in
fluenced either way by newspaper prOpa-
ganda at this stage of the game.
We cannot help but point out that
there is at least one shop paper which has
failed to adopt a hands-off policy on the
no-strike referendum, but which has
sought to influence the minds of the work
ers and shape them to conform with the
opinions of the ones who edit the paper.
While this is perfectly permissible, it GER
tainly does not evidence the freedom of
the press" as democratic workers visual
iZe it.
As long as a UAW-CIO paper is going
to take sides in its news columns and edi-
torials, the least it could do to show the
democratic spirit would be to give equal
space to those who dissent. We believe
this is an important point, particularly in
view of the fact that those who take such
biased and one-sided stands pride them
selves on their democracy and liberalism
and constantly criticize others whom they
believe do not possess the spirit in such
abundant measure as themselves.
The policy of this paper on the no.
strike pledge referendum is strictly hands
off

EMPLOYMENT

When the war is ended, the major problem
which will face this country is that of unem-
ployment
Organized labor recognizes the fact that
1T has taken a major war to provide wide
spread employment. 1t realizes that our econ
omlc system has never yet solved the problem
of unemployment in peacetime 1t is deter
mined now that this is the problem which
must be solved if we are to have peace in our
country and the world.
The future of world peace is going to de-
pend upon how the workers of this country
fare when we return to normal civilian prod
ucton. If we have millions of unemployed,
low wages, miserable living conditions and
everything that goes with unemployment we
Will have neither domestic nor world peace.
We of labor are interested in peace not
war. We are interested in jobs, not doles or
relief. We are interested in high wages not
pare substance. We are interested in homes,
furniture, household gadgetS, automobiles,
refrlgerators and all the things which make
life fuller and worth living We are not inter-
ested IN tenements, novels and makeshift
DISTRIBUTION
Bascally, we have the most efficient prod
uctlVe system in the world Nobody can argue
against that when they see before them the
job which labor in this country has done on
the production lines to fashion the implements
of war and destruction
our industries are vast cooperative enter
prlses where men and women coordinate their
efforts and work together to turn out large
quantities of guns, shells, trucks ieeps air.
craft uniforms, shoes and everything needed
10 maintain our armies scattered all over the
globe
II we can produce the way we have proved
we can for war and destruction, why can't we
90 the same in time of peace in order to give
all people standard of living which God in
tended them to have?
Our depressions are not acts of God but
result from the greed and selfishness of men
nature has given us intelligence and a BODY
SUBJECT to our will. We have skill and knowl-
edge In producing the things which we need
we nave the resources of land mines waters
ana forests from which to produce the things
we desire. All we lack is a sensible system of
distributing these things.
We who belong to the labor movement ba-
lleVe that we can distribute the products of
our industry by giving jobs to the workers
oy giving them high wages, by draining off
excess profits through taxation and govern
hient control over these profits So far. our
country mas barely made start along any
of these lines
, IheSe are the problems which we face in
tne postwar period. These are the problems
wnlcn must be solved successfully. Upon their
solutlon rests the questions of employment or
want security or insecurity, peace or war We
must face these problems realistically and
solve them, or they will bring us to another
world tragedy such as the one we now are
taking part in &c

Mr.. Gosser:
l received your letter about
ten days ago and this is the
first opportunity l have had to
answer it. 1 have written to
you several times before, not
as often as l should have per-
haps, but / will promise to try
and do better in the future.
| am happy to say that every
thing is okay with the folks,
and as for myself, | am in
good health and getting along
fine. l appreciate your con-
Germ about my welfare, and if
l ever have favor to ask you
can depend on my coming to
you with my problems, as
am sure that you will do
everything in your power to
grant that favor.
The boxes have been arriv-
ing with regularity, that is one
more thing l am grateful to
you, and the members of the
Union for. The fellows all say
that l am very lucky to have
worked in a place where they
think enough of my past eff
forts to remember me, even
after | have been away for so
long. of course agree, and
hope to be included when you
are again producing for a
peaceful world.
That there are people who
do not realize there is a war
going on is not surprising,
some day they will wake up to
the grim fact without too great
a shock, l hope. However, as
they are in the minority they
don't really matter, as long as
the majority are with us we
can't miss. Without the i'm
plements you are producing in
such great quantity the prose
cution of this war would be
impossible, keep up the good
work and together we will
bring this mess to a quick
finish.

How closely the CLOS conception of Amer
lean Democracy comedies with the conception
of Christian Social Order was demonstrated
by the Invocation given by the Most Reverend
Blshop j. She'll, Senior Auxiliary Bishop of
Chicago which opened the deliberations at
the seventh Convention of the CIO.
That the ideal of an Economic Democracy
as promulgated in the Post War Program of
the CIO is the essential foundation of Chris
tan Society was made clear by the Bishops
words
The true measure of peoples greatness
is it's fidelity to it's native ideals Such
is the Christian and American ideal 1t is op-
posed to any socal order which makes man
merely the pawn of dehumanized economic
system. The American ideal is a society of
brotherhood of Free men: men free from the
domination of arbitrary political masters; men
free from any economic strangulation which
would make freedom the hollow catchword of
demagogueS
This ideal is not confined only to those
who dwell within the borders of this country.
For the American ideal contains no narrow
lsolatlonist spirit; it expresses no hint of that
type of national selfishneSs which denies the
basic unity and the universal brotherhood of
man. America must always remain the symbol
OF human freedom for all men, it must always
remain the answer to the aspirations and
hopes of all freedom-loving peoples, every
where in the world
We who unreservedly accept this tradi-
tional American credo believe that it offers
to men the best opportunity for living life
that corresponds most closely to the very ma
ture of man, life that holds forth the prom-
ise of decency of security and the fufillment
of human personality.
To preserve that way of life from the ex
ternal threat of Fascism, America has muster
ed her industrial and military might To de
stroy Fascism, the youth of America-you
sons and your brothers-are now giving the
lives al over the world With Gods assistay a
victory shall be ours. R
