What We
Wunfed-
GoSser

When informed of the action
of the National Labor Relations
Board and War Department in
taking over the Farrell Cheek
Steel Co. plant in Sandusky, Re-
gional Director Richard Gosser
said good This is what we
wanted"
Director Gosser said that he
was in full accord with the War
Department and would COOPER
ate IN every way with it to get
the plant back into production.
/ know that the workers in the
plant are just as pleased with
TINS action as l am. To permit a
company to get away with defy
ing the authority of the National
War Labor Board is to tolerate
anarchy and breed more of the
same type of resistance among
other employers, he said.
Praises Union
Praising Local 80 UAW-CIO
which had its point sustained by
the NLRB, Mr.. Gosser said, Il
think that the way the workers
and leaders of Local 80 con-
Quoted themselves in this con-
troversy is to be highly COM
mended. l am sure that the
people of Sandusky are in SYM
pathy with them and out of
sympathy with company
which refused to go along with
our government. We are urged
to be patriotic and the workers
have proven their patriotism
time and again; but what does
the Farrell-Cheek Co. prove
when it takes the armed might
of the nation to make them go
along to bring this war to a
victorious end?"
Concluding his discussion of
the Farrell-Cheek case, Mr.. Cos
ser said, Il hope that everything
will work out now that the
Army is in charge. I'm certain
it will. Furthermore, l believe
the workers would rather be
under the Army than under a
management which went all the
way to prove its hatred for its
organized workers and its un-
patriotic anarchism." /"

Men
Behind
Dewey

If money, an unrationed
item in the Republican Party
were the sole requirement for
victory in presidential cleo
tions, Thomas E. Dewey
would win hands down in No
vember.
Well money talks but the peo-
pie talk louder when they
vote. Labor can bet its bot
tom dollar Con Roosevelt) that
the old maestro of Republican
high finance--Lammott DUPONT
will do all the talking he can
for Dewey, by handing over a
large chunk of his big, thick
check book to the COPS fair
haired boy.
The Dewey campaign fund is
already vol en- = close to
81 100000 has been raised in
New York and New Jersey
alone-and millions more will
roll in from the As states still to
be heard from. With the times
as they are and the past as a
guide, it's safe to predict that
the DUPONT donation will top
the list, as usual.
Take the 1910 campaign for
example. The Hatch Act, limit
ing contributions from indivi-
duals to $4,000, was enacted to
purify the election atmosphere.
But the duPonts,- in line with
other COP financiers, evaded
this clause by crediting their
$186,780 gift to 53 members of
the DUPONT family. In 1886
when the American Liberty
League, Irenee duPont's pet,
pinned their hopes on the faded
Kansas sunflower, Alf Landon,
Lammott dupont operated more
openly. He kicked in S105, 900.
Irenee gave $95,O00, Pierre S.
$94, 900 and five other duPonts,
SAT, 900. The grand total was
$341, 900.
Other Rich Sources
Through the duPonts, Dewey
has other rich sources to tap.
The E. l. dupont de Nemours
Co., headed by Lammott du-
Pont, owns a 20 per cent in
terest in General Motors Corp,
the center of so much American
Labor strife. The usual indus
trial trick of interlocking direc-
torships is practiced by these
industrial dynasties. Lammott

Henry Belin dupont, John j,
Raskob, Henry Francis DUPONT,
Pierre DUPONT, all board mem
bers of the E. l. DUPONT Com
pany, are also directors of Gen.
eral Motors. Alfred Sloan Jr.,
GINS board chairman and Don
aldson Brown, vice-chairman,
also hold directorships in E. /.
DUPONT.
If Dewey's finance chairmen
are looking for inspiration, they
will find it in the 1910 report
which showed the combined
contributions of the duPontS

NEW YORK, Sept. %
The CIO Political Action
Committee plans to print and
distribute not less than So
100000 pieces of literature
dealing with the issues of the
national political campaign.
Each piece is designed as a
weapon in the hands of Amer
lean workers and their friends
to safeguard the hard-won eco
nomic and political gains of the
past II years in the battle TO
win the peace as well as the
war.
Beside the $4,000, 900 pieces
of literature, CIO-PAC intends
to buy radio time, newspaper
space in big towns and small,
rent bill-boards, distribute post
ers and use sound-trucks and
the whole paraphernalia of a
modern political campaign. The
stakes are the largest in Ameri-
can Labor history, including full
peacetime employment, a n d
labor intends to do its best TO
win its fight, PAC officials say.
Call On Members
To meet all of this, and
MORE, CIO-PAC is calling upon
the CIO member, and his friend,
to come up gladly and volun-
tarily with a DOLLAR contri-
button so that the job on their
behalf, as well as for the rest of
the American community, can
be done and done well.
1t is being put on the basis
that this is a "buck" THAT

ers. They assert that dollar to
prevent mass unemployment,
slumS and apple-stands, the
fruits of a Dewey victory, will
be donated quickly.
"The CIO member, who un-
derstands that the issue is what
kind of future he and his chill
dren will have, will RUN not

When the Greater Toledo
War Chest Drive, which will
be held from Oct. 4 to Oct.
26, opens next Wednesday it
will receive the fullest sup
port and cooperation of Local
IL, according to Melvin Schultz,
Local IL president.
Members of the CIO are in
terested in the many aspects of
the work accomplished by the
War Chest. OF the 78 Chest
supported agencies, % are War
Relief agencies, of the National
War Fund, Inc, among which
are the USO, War Prisoners Aid
and United Seamen's Service,
three which command much at
tension during wartime.
Combined with the National
War Fund, the Chest fund drive
eliminates the solicitation for
many funds and combines all
into one great drive. Local agen-
cies including hospitals, YMCA,
YWCA, Boy Scouts and many
other worthy projects benefit
from the fund.
Serve Armed Forces
Toledo has eight USO centers
which served 81 ,495 members
of the armed forces during the
month of August. Services were
rendered through this agency by
1,119 volunteer workers who
gave a total of 12,949 hours
rendering service to those in
every branch of the service from
all over the country and several
from England, Canada and New
Zealand.
Through the War Prisoners
Aid, another Chest agency of the
National War Fund, more than
six million men in Axis prison
camps are provided with recre-
ational, educational and religi
Gus activities for time they
would otherwise spend in stag
nant idleness.
Through the agency of the
United Seamen's Service, much
has been done to bring rest and
relaxation to the men of the
merchant marine. At the pres
ent time, this agency maintains
a worldwide total of 121 units
and will set up other rest homes
throughout the world as funds
permit.
Supported BY Labor
Philip Murray, CIO president
and other labor leaders have
given the Chest their complete
support and have called upon
their members to give to this
worthy cause as their means
permit. In Toledo, the CIO goal
has been set at 100000, Rich
ard Lazette, CIO War Chest
Director in appealing for sup
port for the drive said, Il hope |
that everyone who can possibly |
do so will pledge one hours pay
per month to the drive and keep
the pledge. No worthier cause
can be found which covers so
many worth while projects.
The goal set for this years
Chest Drive is the same as last
year, $1,309, 900 which includes
Toledo's share of the National
War Fund quota.

among the workers who for
feited their noon day lunch
period to go to the Board of
Elections. No sooner had the
cars drawn up to the Board
than a policeman dismounted
from his motor cycle and began
writing up the tags.
Finally, the policeman went
away and sent for reinforce
ments. Cars would only park
for three to four minutes to dis
charge passengers. One worker
who did not move his car fast
enough was arrested on a charge
of obstructing traffic.
Republicans Obstruct
Registrations
Ample notice was given the
<1Ard of Elections by Political
n Committee cId officials, cnns,. un, n,
roaedo that the registration
drive was being intensified this
week. When 200 workers walked
into the Board on last Tuesday,
a considerable amount of time
was taken up because of the few
people who were working in the
Superior st. office.
Richard Gosser PAC manager
and Tom Burke discussed put
ting on more people at the
Board to aid in facilitating reg
istrations. John Quinlivan, Dem
ocratic member agreed that
ore employ e should be
laced on duty to facilitate the
-agistrations, but Clifford Kalg-
han, Board clerk told Gosser,
this is just a flash in the pan,
Mr.. Gosser told Mr.. Kaighan
"its not our fault if war pro-
duction is tied up, it's your fault.
Our people are willing to forego
their lunch hour to come down
here and register and you should
take care of them quickly so
they can get back to their war
jobs"
Hansen Speaks
Harry Hansen, Republican
member of the Board of Elec-
tions, when told of the large
number of registratios, is re-
ported to have said Its just
bunch of hill billies who are
registering" and said that ne
thought the Board should not be
used as a medium to advertise
the CIO.
Mr.. Hansen is also reported to
have expressed the opinion that
many of those who were regis
tering were not in the state one
wear. His statement was chal-
lenged by John Quinlivan, Dem
ocratic Board member.
Workers React
Hundreds of workers who saw
the police department tagging
cars and witnessed the arrest OF
one of their number were in
dignant. "They ask us to reg
lister and urge us to go to the
Board of Elections to do it and
then fine us for parking and ar

one. Another said 'it looks like
