Frank Fay has been leanin' on

Edward Rochester, and Joan Fon-

screen In relentless on-rush Of
tranScendant love, frightening mys-
terry, dramatic emotion and scenes
and moments Of romance most glor-

all his life for woman he could

her own excuses then a French
dancing girl a Viennese milliner, a
countess, and finally he finds Jane,
and sees her torn from his arms by
terrible secret from the past. Jane
Eyre has been described as a role
that every woman would die a

with no home no family, Jane
knows only the cruelty Of women,
the beastialty Of men. And then
her path crosses that Of Edward
Rochester their eyes meet-their

Bond Statesmen
To Report

Five thousand Sixth War Loan
Volunteer solicitors will make
their first reports on bond sales
to date the latter part of this
week, War Finance Committee
officials announced.
These bond volunteers have
all been equipped with sales kits
and advertising material and
are calling on bond purchasers
in their homes, at their business
places and in the factories.
The residential, industrial,
special and rural sales groups
are concentrating their efforts
during this drive to give every
person in Lucas County an op-
portunity to make their bond
purchases early.
Lucas County has a quota of
$42, 162, 900 in bonds to sell dur
ing the Sixth War Loan and
this quota is being subdivided to
each of the various divisions.
Reports during this drive will
be made on a percentage of the
quota sold in an effort to create
rivalry between the various
teams and to show the actual
progress of the drive.

duction (now WPB's job) are
lifted, will that mean that the
lid is off, and manufacturers will
be free to make whatever they
want?
The lid-off technique, cur
rently favored by WPB chair
man Krug with White House
backing, is looked at with real
alarm by consumer and labor
groups. They would prefer some
sort of controls so that produc-
ton of the most urgently needed

a direct blow at the right to
strike. Young workers, after
their military training, would be
placed in the Reserve. In order
to break strike it would be
within the governments power
to order strikers into the Re-
serve and then send them back
to their jobs in uniform"
Campbell argued that "We
must decide either to maintain a
CO lossa !, professional armed
force at stupendous cost, or
find practical substitute for it."
Adoption by America now of
a universal peacetime military
training policy" he continued,
will strengthen this country's
role in any association of peace
loving nations for the preserva-
tion of peace. 1t will be the best
proof that America will have the
strength to back such accord
with force. 1t will also be a
cushion of safety to fall back
upon if that association of ma
tions for the preservation of
peace fails in its objectives as it
has failed in the past"

Aufo-Life Unit
Supports Phone
Strikers
U. S. Signal Corps Picture

Members of the Auto-Lite
Unit of Local II, in their meet
ing of Sunday, November 19,
unanimously voted their support
to the workers of the Ohio Bell
Telephone Co. who are now on
strike in many cities throughout
Ohio.
The strike of phone company
workers originated last week in
Dayton where operators walked
off their jobs after refusal OF
the company to meet their de-
mands to either raise local work
ers wages or employ local opera
tors. The strike spread through
Toledo and most of the large
cities of the state.
Toledo has not been effected
by the strike due to the auto.
matte phone system, but smaller
communities which still use op-
orators were severely effected.
Cutcher States Views
Howard Cutcher, chairman OF
the Auto-Lite Unit expressing
his views on the strike situation
said, I'VE are in sympathy with
the strike of the telephone work
ers. We will always be in SYM
pathy with workers who walk
off the job because of unfair or
discriminatory acts against them.
If there is anything we can do,
we want the telephone workers
to call on u.s."
Toledo Industrial Union Coun-
Gil has taken no official stand
on the strike, although many
individual members have ex-
pressed themselves favorable to
the action taken by the phone
company employees and have ex-
pressed the hope that they would
win their point.

Units Pass
Paper assessment

Local IL Units are voting this
month on an assessment of one
dollar to help support the TOLE-
DO UNION JOURNAL and in
sure its continuation in the
postwar period. The assessment
when passed will be due and
payable in January before any
dues payments may be made.
WHY'S Overland in its meeting
of Nov. 3 unanimously passed
the assessment and gave it's 129
votes to the proposal. The vote
of the Units is based upon their
convention vote and can be de-
cided by division of the house,
for and against the assessment.
Other Units reporting on the
referendum are as follows:
Ransom & Randolph-carried
with one dissenting vote.
Buckeye Paint-carried unan-
imously.
Toledo S teel Tube-carried
unanimously.
American Can Unit-carried
unanimously.
Toledo Standard Commutator
carried unanimously.
Mather Spring-carried unan-
imously.
Surface Combustion-carried
unanimously.
Acme Specialty-carried unan-
imously.
Sheets Elevator-unanimously.
Democratic Vote
The referendum provides each
Unit an opportunity to vote and
express itself in a democratic
manner.
Present indications are that
the referendum will pass by an
overwhelming majority, vote
of confidence in the paper and
its adherence to CIO policy.
Final outcome of the refer
endum will be published as soon
as other Units report. Spicer and
Champion Units conducted their
vote last week, but the results
have not yet been sent in to
Local IL officials.
