The losses, which included 753

The report listed no losses be-
You'd the end of 1913. but an I'M

showed at least II losses for this
year 13 of them American ships.
This would raise total losses to
5,775.
Though the total, 5,75S sunk

CLEVELAND. Nov. 28-Inter-
national UAW-CIO President r.
j. Thomas today angrily denied
Chicago reports that he had said
any union member who strikes in
wartime is a 100 per cent scab. ="
Upset by the quotations which
appeared originally in a Chicago
paper, Thomas declared;
what I actually said was
that I didn't think any good
patriotic citizen should strike in
wartime.
HERE FOR MEETING
81 Just repeated what has
been our policy all aiOng-that
we take action against individ-
uals and locals who strike.
IL certainly did not use the
word 'scab' at any point"
Thomas, who is here for a spe-
cial meeting of the union interna-
tional executive board. did point
out, however. that the union has
taken action against striking in
dividuals and locals, in keeping
with the no-strike pledge.
PLAN STAFF SLASH
In another statement, Thomas
declared employment in 20 major
Detroit war plants has slumped
PAT per cent or from 299, 1872 dur
ing peak war employment 10 a
current 224,262.
The executive board. meanwhile
convened to consider possible
slash in the unions own organic
ing staff.
Such a reduction. II was ex-
planned. probably will be necessary
because OF plant layoffs traceable
TO "cutbackS" in war contracts.
