An Imporfonf Convention

The eyes of America are upon Grand
Rapids this week where the United Auto
Workers are meeting in what is agreed to
be the most important convention In its
brief history.
Today, America and its millions of
workers stand upon the threshold of what
very likely will be a new era. We shall
go forward in progress to full employ
ment, improved living conditions and
greater security for all the people, or we
shall go into a wave of reaction which
might very well set the labor movement
back for many years.
AS the worlds largest single union
meets to consider the problems of the
times and those which we believe lie in
the immediate future, it must face the
realities of its situation in unity and with
the firm resolve that there must be no
going back to those other days when mass
production industries were in the master
and slave class.
AS in every organization, there are in
the Auto Workers those interests which
are not sincere, interests which are not
primarily concerned with the workers but
i'm what they conceive to be some larger
and more important considerations. This
minority must be guarded against, recOg-
nized for what they are and prevented
from influencing the convention to follow
path which will lead to serious injury to
the cause of those who work for living.
Insincerity is present in UAW-CIO
convention the same as it is in any other
gathering of human beings. During the
convention week, the delegates will be
stimulated by the fervid oratOry of few
whose true allegiance lies not to the men
and women who labor in the automOtive
plants of America, but to a cause to which
they adhere even to the point of sacrific-
ing their fellow workers.
This convention would do well to re-
member that it was the Auto Workers who
contributed greatly to the rise of indus
trial uniOnism in this country. 1t would
do well to recall the struggles and sacri-
fices of the early years of organization
and growth. And recalling these things
it will act in the best interests of those
who look to it for guidance and prOtec-
tiOn.
The confidence of the rank and file of
the Auto Workers must not only be sus-
tanned, but must be nourished and ex-
panded with words and deeds which will
prove in fact that our union is going to
continue to be the worlds greatest union
in point of numbers, but in performance.

By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW,ClO

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept 11-When the
UAW-CIO convention met this morning for
the first time, there was an air of gravity
about it that has never before been observed
at an Auto Workers session. While there were
friendly greetings and some laughing and good
natured kidding between delegates and dele
cations, there was an undercurrent of serious
ness that gave the meeting an entirely new
atmosphere from that of other years.
The three main issues seem to be the post
war position of the automotive and aircraft in
dustries, no-strike pledge and election of Off
GERS.
Talk seems to center around the question
of a sudden ending of the war in Europe
which would bring about immediate cutbacks
in war industries Everyone seems worried
about what is going to happen when the gov
ernment cuts its war production schedules
from 40 to so per cent, particularly in the
face of our unpreparedness for peacetime pro-
duction and general lack of planning for
peace.
THE MAIN ISSUE
To me, the main issue of this convention
is our future in the postwar period Certainly
the workers who have contributed greatly
to the winning of the war with the greatest
production record in the history of the world
are not going to be satisfied to go on unem-
plOymenL compensation. lney are not gong
to be happy about standing in relief lines
going through what they endured for many
years prior to this war.
Naturally, the postwar position of our in
dustries are the major concern of the conven-
ton. Everything else pales into insignificance
alongside this consideration. The very life of
our union depends upon what happens to the
productive plant of this country. Our very
lives and future is wrapped up in indy
and we must not be thrown into unemH
ment by the millions when the war has endSMD
PEACE
This convention is going to have many
things to say about employment. 1t is going
to have plans and criticisms about the way the
reconverson plans of the War Production
Board have been kicked around. 1t is going
to make its voice heard and that voice is going
to say in no uncertain terms, I'VE shall not go
back to the days of 1929 to 1888"
Unless this convention makes itself felt up
on the whole labor movement and in the
centers of government, the peace which will
come to America will be an uneasy and uncer-
tain peace. Unless full employment at living
wages is given the workers of this country,
we will rave lost the and let ourselves
in for greater and more horrible war in the
not distant future. The convention is aware
of all of this and it views the situation with
great concern.

Beofing The Laws

In his speech before the UAW conven-
tion last Tuesday night, Secretary of the
Interior Ickes illustrated how easy il was
for people of great wealth to circumvent
the hatch act which places limitation of
$4,000 head upon campaign contribu-
tions.
AS an illustration Secretary Ickes
gave out the names of the entire Dupont
clan each of whom contributed to the re-
publicans. Lammot and Pierre and Re-
nee were no less big hearted to the party
than Alice and Amy Mrs. Eugene, Mrs.
ii. p, Irene, Eileen, Eleanor, Eluthera,
Mrs. Lammot and Mrs. Pierre.
Mr.. Ickes through the whole long list
of the Duponts and named each and
every one of them finally ending up with
little Felix Dupont, whom he said prob
ably opened his piggy bank and poured
its generous contents into the outstretched
hands of the Selfless republicans"
What has been done and is being done
to aid the republican party by the prolific
Dupont family has been done and will
continue to be done by the wealthy in
terests and families of communities all
over the United States. Each member of
the rich families will dip deep into their
pockets and come up with $4,000 per head
instead of letting one do all the giving as
had been the case prior to the Hatch act.
AT the same time these people of great
wealth are contributing vast sums of
money to the republican party, the
spokesmen for the party are bitterly COM
planning of the way the unions are spend
ing the money of the poor working men
TO support the democratic party cam
paign. They are crying because the work
ers of the country are being asked to con-
tribute one dollar each to the Roosevelt
cause.
Truly, the Hatch acts provisions were
not intended to measure and limit the
donations of the individual worker. nor
for that matter does ii actually limit the
sums OF money that are given by those
who have plenty to donate to the repub-
Icans. The act, well meaning in its in
tent, has been evaded and nullified by
those whom no law seews to be able to
stop.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW-ClO

1t is not with feeling of unadulerated Joy
that our people are looking forward to the
end of the war. We all hope for an end to
the war as soon as possible, but mingled with
this hope in the minds of many is anxiety
about the Post War Period
There are many who believe that post
war depression of serious proportions is in
evitable.
This might sound logical if it were not for
the fact that this war has revealed the need
for many things which cannot be manu-
factured until the establishment of peace.
For one thing this nation needs an ade-
quate housing program. We are not over sup
piled with public buildings for the housing
of such social institutions schools and
hospitals.
There is years of work ahead in properly
rebuilding our highways and eliminating
grade crossings and dangerous intersections.
In addition to the market for goods which
could not be purchased during the war there
will be necessity for rehabilitation of war
torn areas
Thus, we can see depression is not in
evitable On the other hand very serious
depression in the Post War Period is both pos
sible and very likely unless Labor succeeds
in asserting itself as the majority of the Anne
rican People.
This means our people must start taking
an actlVe part IN our government, HlStedu VI
allowing it to be administered by the agents
of Big Business.
The establishment of the 80 hour work
week, the annual wage, an adequate Public
Works Program adequate social security,
relief to the working farmers and an adequate
educational program can prevent the Post
War Depression and bring about a peaceful,
happy and prosperous America.
If this is the kind of America you want
then you must get out and VOTE!

Describes Air Raid

Somewhere in France
August IL, 1914
Hello Dick,
/ received your letter and
sure was glad to hear from
you so l want you to know
that I'm feeling fine and
hope that you are the same.
Well Dick, first of all I'll
tell you about the air raid we
had a couple of nights ago. 1t
didn't last long but they had
us in our fox holes praying
cause they were right over
our place and were dropping
bombs and I'm telling you
that it sure is a funny feeling
when you can hear the bombs
coming and don't know where
they are going to hit.
Well Dick l had some Cog
nae a few weeks ago and
never again cause it sure did
make me sick for a couple of
days. The Cognac out here is
so strong and it tastes like
the moonshine that we used
to have.
Well, Dick, I hope that the
Gang will get elected to 60 to
that Convention. That's all
/ can think of right now, so
say hello to the gang for me
and when I'll get time I'll
drop you a few lines again
cause right now we sure are
busy out here.
So long until we meet
again.
