Union.
Next Wednesdays election
was agreed to by the Toledo
Scale Co. management after a
campaign for members had been
waged by Local II, UAW-CIO.
The consent election eliminates
the necessity for the NLRB con-
ducting hearing.
Scale Union Active
The Scale Workers of Ohio,
company dominated union which
has held the plant bargaining
rights for the past year, is active
in seeking the support of the
employees of the company. Let
ters have been sent out to all
the workers asking for their sup
port and votes in the April ID
election,
CIO members in the plant are
pointing out that the subject
matter of the letter sent out by
the Scale Workers company
dominated union was not spe-
cific. They are saying that the
Scale Workers are seeking to
make it appear that the CIO has
sought to conduct a smear CAM
paign, whereas all material
printed about the Scale Workers
Union was fully substantiated
and has never been refuted.
Leaders in the Scale Co. Go
group are criticizing the attempt
of the company dominated union
to appeal to the skilled workers
of the plant in an attempt to
flatter them into voting for the
Scale Workers of Ohio. They
say that if the workers are skill
ed thinkers, and they believe
they are, the election should re-
suit in decisive victory for the
CIO.
Apologize For Move
In its letter to the workers,
the Scale Workers of Ohio apol-
ogize for asking that the NLRB
conduct the election within the
plant. The company dominated
union states that it was only
concerned with your interest
and convenience" CIO workers
point out that when the last
Scale Co. election was held in
side the plant, Dec. ), 1912,
workers were influenced by con-
ditions which could not exist in
an election held outside the
company's plant.
CIO members at the Toledo
Scale Co. feel confident that the

Soldiers Under
19 Take Places
On War Fronts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. CUP)-
Soldiers under 10 years of age are
now being sent into combat as re-
placements.
Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson said Thursday that this
reversal of previous army policy was
due to exigencies of the military
situation and the lack CT enough
suitable replacements over 10.
He explained that no soldier. ir-
respective of age, entered combat
without adequate training. General
ly speaking. every soldier entering
active combat has minimum of
eight months prior service
Since the minimum army induc-
ton age is 18, soldier would not
&c into army combat until he was
l8 years and eight months old. The
navy accepts youths of IT,
Patterson noted that in January
of this year only 20 per cent of in
ductees were under 10. BY october
40 per cent were under 10. Thus
available requirements over 10
steadily decreased while the tempo
of combat and replacement require
mentS increased.
