Many new faces were seer
at the meeting of the Local
IL Veterans Committee hello
at Local II headquarters
last Monday night.
New ideas and additional poll.
cies were discussed by those who
took part in the meeting and dis.
cussion. Principal discussion cen.
tered about the Veterans Senior.
ity Supplement drawn up ano
approved by the international
union, UAW-CIO which was ex-
planned by International repre-
sentative Chris Topel.
In discussing the continuation
of the organizational work OF
the Veterans Committee, Chair
man Ted Modrowski who pre-
sided over the meeting told the
members that "the Veterans
Committee is not a face saving
proposition, but a union service
to all men who have served in
the armed forces of the country -
Not Anti Union
1t was the opinion of the group
that the returning servicemen
are not anti-union although it
was agreed that they have been
subjected to a considerable
amount of anti-union propa-
ganda.
A question and answer period
was set aside for discussion of
the veterans problems. The
period brought out the statement
that the principal purpose of the
committee would be to see that
the returning servicement "get
a square deal and not a raw
deal"
Chairman Modrowski express
ed himself as being pleased with
the results of the first two meet
ings, but said he believed the
committee should be m u C h
larger. Plans were discussed for
visiting all Unit meetings with
members of the committee to ex-
plain the Veterans Committee to
the members and seek to secure
greater cooperation in setting up
the Local and Unit groups.
Election Postponed
Election of officers for the
committee was postponed by the
unanimous action of the group.
1t was the opinion of the mem
bers of the committee that the
election should be deferred until
the group had reached greater
growth.
Meetings of the Veterans Com
mittee are held the first Monday
of each month. All servicemen
of World War / and II are urged
to attend and become members.

Newspapers
Charge Required
By Govt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (LPA)
Signs of new anti-labor drive
by the Scripps- Howard news
paper chain, similar to the
charges of absenteeism leveled
against war workers last year,
are seen in the publication of a
cartoon in their papers last
week. The drawing shows the
outstretched hand of a dead SOL
dier on the battlefront. Near it is
sign: I'VE had no ammunition
to return their fire"
Putting the quietus on the
charges that workers are causing
munitions shortages by leaving
war work in droves are official
government figures compiled
here.
They show that smaller pro-
portion of workers in munitions
industries have quit voluntarily
than have left all other indus
tries. This is true for every
month of this year. The "volun-
tary quit rate compiled by man
power and government officials
shows that it is 30%o less in
munitions than in the combined
rate for all other industries.

Elected FDR ---
They Say

NEW ORLEANS, December 2
I-(LPA) - The AFL's Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters
last week claimed major credit
for the reelection of President
Roosevelt.
A signed article in the Intl
Teamster, official union publica-
ton, distributed to the AFL con-
Vention's 500 delegates, de-
clared that many radio com
mentators, in fact all of them
say that the CIO-PAC, which
was composed almost entirely OF
CIO organizations, was respon-
sible for the election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
"The only credit that can be
given to PAC," the article con-
tinues, sis that they helped con-
siderably in the registration; al
least that's what we think. We
are not sure but what the reg
istration would have been what
1T finally was as a result of the
appeals made by the leading
statesmen of the country of both
parties even if PAC had
never prevailed.
when the actual facts come
out, the article concluded, "it
will be known that the Teams
ters" International Union with
its great influence in the AFL
was more responsible for the
election of Roosevelt than any
other influence in America"

Opposed to
Poll Tax

WASHINGTON, Dec. l -
The National Committee to
Abolish the Poll Tax an
nounced today that within
five days of each other, the
two largest bodies of organized
labor have passed resolutions ex-
pressing their opposition to the
poll tax and favoring federal
legislation for its abolition.
A. F. of L. action closely fol-
lowed that of the CIO conven-
ton which met in Chicago last
week. The general resolution on
the franchise, proposed by the
CIO Executive Board and passed
unanimously, follows in part:
Resolved, The CIO pledges to
continue its determined effort to
have Congress enact legislation
eliminating the poll tax require
ment which now prevails in
eight of our states ="
Commenting on the resolu-
tions, Mrs. Virginia Foster Durr,
vice-chairman of the National
Committee to Abolish the Poll
Tax, states:
eve are delighted to know
that we still have the united sup
port of labor which we have had
from the beginning of the fight.
81 think that the organized
forces of labor are the greatest
bulwark of democracy in the
country, and they have again re-
iterated their belief that a free
ballot is the foundation stone of
democracy"

Political
Action
BY
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman
of the Political Action Committee

On Saturday, Dec. 2, 1914,
a conference of the Ohio PAC
was held in the Hollenden
Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio. All
sections of the State were rep
resented. The past progress
of the PAC was discussed and
the question of what type of
organiZational structure we
must have for a permanent
PAC.
Experience thus far has
shown that a successful PAC
program must be built on an
effective functioning Ward
and Township Club organiza-
tional set up.
While it must be admitted
that the results of the last cleo
ton do not warrant any crow
ing in Lucas County, it must
also be recognized that no bet
ter system of building Ward
and Township Clubs has been
devised than that provided for
in the Bylaws of the Lucas
County PAC.
Our method is to break
down the membership into
Ward and Township Club ac-
cording to where the members
reside.
The next step is to hold
meetings in each Ward or
Township for the members of
that Club. This constitutes a
NUCLEUS for a Ward or
Township Club.
At the first successful meet
ing Club officers are elected.
Each Club has two delegates
to the City Central Committee
which meets the first Tuesday
of each month and is the pol
icy-making body of the Lucas
County Organization.
This nucleus in, each Ward
and Township must develop
canvassers to cover the neigh
borhood and acquaint the resi-
dents with the program of the
PAC.
LONG CLIMB
To make our organization
effective is long uphill climb.
Yet we can tell from the adj
verse pub lefty launched
against us by the reactionaries
that we have gotten off to a
good start.
The principal task before
those of us who are deter
mined to make Political Ac-
ton tick is that we must avoid
any lull or let down in our
efforts in the next few months.
We have as of now, four
CIO members In the State
Senate. This is a small minor
ity, but is a beginning.
The City Councilmanic
elections come up next in AS,
and in 40 is a Congressional
election which will determine
whether the incoming Con-
gress will be Liberal or Reac-
tionary.
This Congressional election
will take place in the middle
of the Presidential term. 1t
will be less colorful than the
one in IA and the Big Busi-
ness interests are counting on
the workers indifference so
they can slip in an anti-labor
legislature both on the ma
tional and state scale. This
must not be allowed to occur.
Ward and Township Clubs
must be built so we'll in the
meantime, that by 1910 the
PAC WILL HAVE THE SAY
so TO WHO GETS ELECTED
TO PUBLIC OFFICE.
This is a large order. SO was
building the CIO a large order,
but it was done.
Although a lot of work will
be involved in building PAC
to the point where it becomes
the MAJOR FORCE in Amer
lean Politics, the benefits to
the workers which can be OBJ
tanned through the enactment
of social legislation will more
than justify the work eX-
papdad in the building of

by the radio engineering firm
of Woodward and Keel of
Washington and request Ii
censes for FIN broadcasting in
Detroit, Flint, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, Chicago, and Newark,
New Jersey.
Thomas emphasized that in en-
tering the radio field, the UAW-
CIO was anxious to cooperate
with all progressive elements in
the field in the furtherance Of
freedom of expression. He said
that the UAW was not so much
interested in the narrow appli-
cation of this ideal to labor prob
lens only but in the greatest
educational advantage for the
whole listening public"
Postwar Project
Thomas explained that while
the FEC was entertaining ap-
plications for FM licenses now,
it was unlikely that the Com
mission would take any action
until radio broadcasting equip
ment was released after the war
The purpose of the UAW in
entering the FM broadcasting
field, according to a statement
of purpose signed by Thomas
and George F. Adde's, Secretary
Treasurer of the UAW-CIO, and
filed with the FEC, is to con
centrate on educational features,
including the arts, literature,
economics, political and social
sciences"
Education Program Planned
The statement outlines the
educational program envisioned
by the UAW-CIO for broadcast
over this new medium of public
communication.
AS part of the educational
program and related thereto, the
history and current problems of
the labor movement will be dis
cussed AS bearing on the sub
ject of labor, both industry and
the consumer will receive ade-
quate representation in thorough
discussion of their mutual prob
lens"
The UAW-CIO will undertake
FM broadcasting, said the two
UAW officials, ito enhance the
cause of our political, economic
and social democracy"
through affording "all groups
and classes such freedom of
speech and opportunities for dis
cuSSion as to be unparalleled IN
the history of the radio broad
casting industry"

ally place the measure on the
ballot at the next general cleo
ton.
Labor leaders are concerned
about beating down this new at
tack on labors rights not only
because of what it would do to
trade unionisrl in California but
also because it would quickly be-
come the pattern for similar laws
in other states and eventually in
Congress.

tutional amendment which
would have outlawed the closed
shop and other labor gains.
Undismayed by this beating,
however, anti-labor employers
and their stooges have now res
urrected the discredited Women
of the Pacific" which became no
torious in 1941 for activities 50
suspiciously un-American that
they were Investigated by the

Following the same pattern
they did in 1941, Women of the

cent weeks that the real fight is
not against Hitler and Hirohito
but against trade unionism at
home.

men of the Pacific was run by

Attorney General BiddIe last week asked for Littes

that we must pay in blood and
treasure as we fight the japanese in
these Pacific Islands.
Here again we had the respon-
sibility of protecting territory in
far-off places and even though ia
pan was then at war with China
and Hitler was breaking out in Eu-
rope, we did not keep our defenses
up over the land where the Amer
lean flag flew. Every prisoner in
every Japanese prison camp, who
has suffered or died from the bar
barous and inhuman treatment by
the Japanese is a sacrifice due to
the lack of sound defense policy
by our country.
Zone of the reasons that Hitler
decided to attack all of Europe was
because he knew that the United
States of America was poorly pre-
pared to defend itself or to offer aid
to our Allies, and that many years
would pass before we were able to
do so. If our defenses had been
kept up, perhaps Hitler would not
have started the war in Europe -
perhaps Japan would not have
started the war in China and event
ually attacked us. The United
States got war instead of peace be-
cause she lacked the character to
stand up to the world conditions and
to her responsibilities.
Nov that we are paying in blood
and treasure at a prodigal rate, be-
cause of all this Indifference of
twenty, fifteen, ten and five years
ago, we should not miss this lesson
for the years that are to come. If
we do learn it and learn it thor
oughly this time, perhaps the babies
of today will have better cahnce
of escaping human sacrifice on the
battlefelds of the future, than the
babies of 20 years ago have had in
the present tragic war"
