CIO Writers
Needed

Jack Kroll, CIO, Regional Po-
litical Action Director, has sent
out an SOS for good radio
scripts.
Mr.. Kroll advises that many
local Councils and Unions are
planning radio programs to spur
their political action drives.
The experience of the Regional
Political Action Committee with
radio programs has clearly dem
onstrated that human interest
short skits and dramas have
been most effective.
eve want some down-to-
earth educational and inspira-
tional radio material which can
catch the fancy of radio listen
ers," observed Mr.. Kroll.
Formal sp e e C HIM a k n G
doesn't strike the public ear and
mind as do dramatized human
stories of the ideas and ideals
to which CIO aspires."
Fifteen and thirty minute
broadcasts will be most COM
monty used, and scripts should
be tailored to fit such time
schedules.
Scripts emphasizing the reg
ister- -to-vote campaign of CIO,
the democratic privilege of vot-
ing, and the significance of vot-
ing in relation to the tremen-
dously important economic and
social issues are the types most
in demand. Commented Mr.
Kroll, This is a grand oppor-
tunity for CIO writer's to serve
a worthy cause. / am sure that
some fine and useful talent will
be uncovered"
All scripts, ideas or sugges-
tions should be sent to
Jack Kroll, Director Region "
CIO Political Action Committee
1015 Vine Street,
Cincinnati 2, Ohio.
"There will be no rejection
Slips" quipped Mr.. Kroll.

cIo Opposes
EquaI Rights
For Women

WASHINGTON, March i,
(FP)-CIO Pres. Philip Murray
warned congress not TO be mis-.
led into supporting the so-called
equal rights amendment, which,
he said, actually conceals the
means of robbing women Of
many of the rights and protec-
tions that have been won for
them"
The proposed constitutional
amendment was reported favor
ably by the senate judiciary
committee last year and is now
before the house in the form of
a discharge petition to bring it
on the floor.
If the equal rights amendment
is passed, laws limiting the
hours women may be required
TO work, regulating health and
other working conditions, Sc
curing minimum wage rates in
additionally low-paid indus
tries, maternity aid, widows
pensions, aid for dependent chill
dren and other social security
protective measures would be
abolished, Murray pointed out.
The proposal insists on sub
jecting women to the same evils
OF detrimental working condi-
tions under which many men
have to work and against which
women are to some extent pro-
tected, he said. In this light.
it should be called not the equal
rights amendment but the
equal dcrtiments' amendment. T"

Fascist Group
VIII Protect
GentiLes For 500

CHICAGO (FP)-The shadow
of Adolf Hitler fell on Chicago
when an eight-page tabloid
newspaper appeared on the
streets proclaiming the program
of the Gentle Cooperative Asso-
citation, new anti-Jewish out
fit organized to protect Cen
tiles at UP to S100 a head.
The association announced it
would publish a Gentle Busi-
ness Directory in various Ameri-
can cities in the near future. One
of it's major aims was laid for
Gentle veterans. Offices of the
organization are at 80 North La
Sale street, Chicago.
An editorial which might have
been copied from Nazi text
book said: "Gentiles realize that
their 125, 100000 population in
the United States represents
close to 900 of the purchasing
power of the nation. We believe
Gentiles should own and main
tain businesses in proportion to
this population, better to serve
their own people" :"
In bold face type the paper
urged: please no big dona-
tions," reminding readers that
the association would rather
have two or three million mem
bers at So, SO or $5 each than
fewer members at larger
amounts"
There followed letter de-
scribed as being from a "gra-
cious lady" in the south, saying
she enclosed d check for 100 and
a detailed pedigree proving she
is a descendant of John and
Priscilla Alden and Miles Stand
ish and is a member of the

Georgia Bars Negro
From Law Practice

ATLANTA (FP)-The Geor-
gia supreme court rel ,cted the
plea of George Elmer Ross of
Augusta, a Negro, to be allowed
to practice law in the state. Ross,
graduate of Chicago Law
School, has been trying since
1889 to gain admission to the
Georgia bar.
Although he passed the state
bar examination, the state board
of bar examiners refused to give
him license, He appealed to
the court. In a unanimous deci-
sion the Supreme Court upheld
the action of the bar examiners
and ruled there could be no
more appeals from their decis-
ions.

Scale
Query

Why is there so much unrest
and suspicion of every move at
the Toledo Scale Co.? Is it be-
cause certain parties in the treas
ury department are trying to be
production experts instead of
bookkeepers? Last fall the COM
pany employed the services of
an efficiency organization. They
were placed in the company
without any explanation to the
rank and file. Everything they
did, and still do, for that matter,
is on the hush hush basis. The
foremen were finally told that
they were going to set up a new
times study and production sys-
tenn.
The first move they made was
to transfer the time study de-
partment from the methods de-
partment to the cost department
supervision, an unusual proce-
dure to say nothing of placing it
behind closed doors. The en-
ployes were told nothing of this
new system and suddenly no
ticed these time study experts"
roaming around the plant taking
studies. Everyone became suspi-
cious of the motive and were in
formed it was for scheduling of
parts. They do not trust this idea
and think it is only a postwar
scheme to cut wages, especially
when even the foreman hasn't
the last word on the approval of
the study.
1t is not only the factory work
ers who are becoming suspicious.
1t is the office workers as well.
They are wondering if the time
study department could be
changed to different supervision,
causing these employees to lose
their seniority, what is to pre-
vent other departments becom-
ing the same victims? Also, if
certain key positions could be
dissolved, rearranged or re-
named in such a manner as TO
eliminate older employees. These
may or may not be the motives,
but due to no explanation on the
part of the company, you cannot
blame the employees for wonder
ing what will happen next?"
We think it is time for the of
flee employees to join up with the
CIO, an organization that would
find out why these conditions
are existing instead of waiting
for them to happen. Your pres
ent job status should be pro-
tected. You need protection now
more than ever before, for you
really are the forgotten men,
Organization has made the fac
tory workers more secure and
higher paid. 1t will be your own
fault if you coast along with
your present company union
without benefit of national or
ganization. The company union
may have honorable intentions
but it lacks the strength to back
you. The company knows this
and will go ahead with any pro-
gram they desire for their bene-
fit, Think it over! And when the
time comes, vote CIO.
We understand Mr.. Fink is 60
ing south for his health. Things
are not very healthy at the
Scale Co. and some of the en-
ployes are anxious to hear if his
salary will be cut off in two
weeks as some of theirs were
recently.
