From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
Presidents,
Local II. UAW-ClO

Throughout the past year members OF the
CIO have taken many "beatings" as result
of decisions handed down by the War Labor
Board In many cases it was with the utmost
difficulty that the leadership was able to con-
vince the members that they must stay on the
Job in order not to hurt the war effort, despite
their hopes for improved conditions being
blasted by the War Labor Board
It is true that not all the decisions have
been bad 1t is also true that we have made
some progress despite many restrictions Yet
on the whole the rulings of the War Labor
Board and other governmental agencies could
certainly have been more favorable to labor
than they have been.
TWO ISSUES
This situation puts squarely before us two
issues The first is Who is to blame and the
second is What can be done about 1t?
The answers to these two questions should
be given very careful thought, for contained
in the answers is the nub of the whole prob
lem In answer to the first question the
blame is really an indirect one The type OF
decisions we get depend on the type OF men
who sit on the Board and on the legislation
to which their decisions must conform.
The men are appointed by the people we
elect to public office. The legislation is drawn
up by the people we elect to public office.
The way to get favorable decisions is to
get people favorable to Labor elected TO pup
lie office
Members of the Union can go around grip
ing about the War Labor Board all year but
gripping alone doesn't hurt the reactionarles
in office or help the workers
VOTE
If it is too much trouble for our people
to go to the Voting Booth once year and
vote for candidates endorsed by the CIO then
we might as well expect to be pushed around
until the reactionaries succeed in liquidating
the labor movement altogether through re-
pressive legislation.
If you want a government which really
represents the interests of the people, OF which
Labor comprises the vast majority, then you
must get out and vote for the friends OF labor.
1t is not too late to save the gains we have
made in the last ten years and go forward
to really adequate social security program.
A defeat for Labor on the political front this
year can very likely mean that our gains will
be lost and any new start would have to
be made from scratch,
Let us resolve to prevent such defeat
by seeing that our people REGISTER and
VOTE.

Dear Sir
| want to pay my respect TO
the way the PAC has gone

this campaign. saw the
people who crowded into the
Board of Elections this week
and know that it was the
work of the PAC that brought
about this fine result. Keep

year the result will be dis
astrous.
Our people voting in large
numbers is the best answer
for such misleading editorials
as l have just discussed.
Saving the social legislation
we now have by electing those
to office who fought for it
means we can go forward to
full employment and adequate
social security. IF WE ELECT
PEOPLE FRIENDLY TO THE
INTERESTS OF LABOR TO
PUBLIC OFFICE.
If you are not registered to
vote, 60 at once to the Board
of Elections, PIT Superior ST.,

Political
Action

Of the Political Action Committee
For those of us who are
familiar with slang, and who
isn't, the term "dilly" means
something out of the ordinary.
In the Toledo Times of
Sept. 10Th there appeared an
editorial which can certainly
be classed as a "dilly."
Here are some excerpts
from this editorial. 1T hap
pened that the country was
ripe for social and economic
change when Mr.. Roosevelt
took office" 1T is entirely
possible that the majority of
the voters are giving Mr..
Roosevelt credit for a change
which would have taken place
under any other president"
Because of the lack of har-
mony in administrative Wash
ington, we have been making
slow progress on an uphill
pull. Maybe we would be bet
ter off if we kept the same
legal wheels on the govern
ment wagon, but got a new
team of horses"
PLAIN ENGLISH
This editorial is certainly
written in plain English and
the point it purports to make
clear, even if it is long
way from being logical.
The point raised is that the
New Deal Social Security
laws are o. K. but they are
being administered by the
wrong people.
Strange, is it not, that the
politicians who bitterly fought
the enactment of all the pro-
gressive legislation w h C h
came from the Roosevelt Ad-
miniStration, to the extent of
grossly misrepresenting the
purpose of the progressive
bills, and ridiculing the whole
idea of social security laws,
now believe that these laws
are fine and that they should
be the administrators of them.
We do not deny that the
country was ripe for social
change when Roosevelt took
office. 1t was very ripe be-
cause the opportunity had
presented itself to Hoover
who Just wasn't able to see 1t.
CHANGE OF HEART
Now, we are asked to be-
lieve that the people who bit
terly opposed the enactment
of what social legislation we
have secured so far, have sud
denly had change of heart
and would now like to admin
lister these laws because they
believe they can do better
Job than the people who
fought for their passage.
There might be some peo-
pie in the world who can be
taken in by this kind of rea-
soning, but | am sure the
workers won't be.
Yet the workers have been
known to think that their
friends would be elected any
way and as a consequence
neglected to vote.
This has been injurious to
the cause of labor in the past.
If our people fail to vote this

Whats
New!

HATS OFF!
The Auto Workers have no
equal in this world when it
comes to progressive, militant
unionism. Our wages are the
highest, our contracts the best,
our membership the greatest,
and our union the most demo-
cratic.
Our organization is young.
We're a bit belligerent at
times, even with one another.
But let someone else step on
any of our toes, and he'll wind
up on the short end of the
deal, and that's for sure!
Old Hank Ford defied us
back in Al, and saw the
worlds greatest picket line
thrown around the worlds
largest factory. General Mo-
tors called the state troopers
in the Flint sitdoWn strike of
'37, but the union won its
battle. Electric Auto-Lite used
national guardsmen, tear gas,
bullets and bayonets in the
famous Battle of Chestnut
Hill, all to no avail.
RISK LIVES
The old timers in our or
ganization risked their lives,
and some of them actually
died in order to win the
wages and working conditions
of which we boast. Wives and
children of our militant pi-
oneers faced starvation and
eviction from their homes,
because they believed in their
men, who had the courage to
fight for a principle.
Today a different type of
struggle faces us. 1t doesn't
involve bloodshed, or even
peaceful picketing. There's
really no struggle to it, for
the individual. The difficulty
lies in impressing the individ-
ual with the seriousness of the
situation and its vast implica-
tions. The person who is not
interested in this problem is
not worthy of consideration as
a union member.
The problem is this: We
stand to lose everything we
have gained during the past
ten years if we fail to vote in
this years election. Toledo
could turn the tide in the
State of Ohio when the bal
lots are counted. And Ohio
is one of the most important
states in the national electoral
picture. Briefly, the 10000
unregistered voters in this
locality could be responsible
for losing November's cleo
ton.
YOU'LL HOWL
Let the company cut your
pay, and you'll howl to high
heavens. Let them lay you off
and you run to the Union for
a job. Let Mr.. Bricker's
stooges cheat you out of your
unemployment insurance, and
you'll yell bloody murder
Let the congressman slap a
ten percent sales tax on you,
or otherwise increase your
tariff, and you'll do plenty of
beefing.
II our union is to remain
strong, or even remain in
existance at all, it will be be-
cause our people turn out and
vote. II Dewey wins, the
pendulum will swing toward
reaction. And if Dewey wins
1t will be our fault.
The Auto Workers are de-
termined that he won't. We're
going TO meet this crisis
were going to tally more than
two million votes in this cleo
tion, including our families
ballots, and we're going to
save America from its home
front fascists, who are worse
enemies of ours than Hitler
and Hirohito, because they're
closer to us and every bit as
ruthless.
Every committeeman, every
shop st ward, and every
member of our organization
must make il his business to
encourage his friends and
relatives to register at the
Board of Elections before the
9th of October. It's the big
gest job we ever tackled, but
we've just got TO do 1t!

time when decent folks the
world over face social prob
lens of mountainous proper
tions, delegates from the busy
war plants of America spoke
wisely and decided well.
The results of this conven-
ton are a credit to the mem
bership of the UAW-CIO and
to the nation.
No one will deny that the
most important issue of the
convention was the strike
pledge. The debate around
this issue reflected all the
fears for the future that hover
above the American working
people.
In fact, the issue of the no.
strike pledge reflected the
whole attitude of working
people toward the war.
TWO-FRONT WAR
There was a militant mi
nority in the convention that
stood for revocation of the no.
strike pledge - period. An
other minority stood for re-
tention of the strike pledge
period. The majority of the
delegates took two days to
make up their minds.
Finally, it was decided to
keep the pledge until the rank
and file membership can vote
for or against it in referun-
dun by mail. The vote is to
be conducted by a committee
chosen at the convention,
which represents all points of
view, and the International
Union is prohibited from
propagandizing the member
ship on the issue.
What the outcome Will be,
it is difficult to predict. But
the important thing is that
the membership will make
the decision. When the men
and women in the shops have
spoken, the issue will be re-
solved, so far as the UAW-
C1O is concerned.
NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE
The action of the UAW- -CIO
on the no-strike pledge has
national significance.
Labor has given its all to
this war. The workers have
known that the job of smash
ing Fascist militarism and
Japanese imperialism was the
most important task facing
the organized labor move
ment. But, at the same time,
labor has realized that Fas-
cism could not be destroyed
simply by winning military
victories over the Axis enemy.
The no-strike pledge was
given in good faith. Labor be-
lieved that employers and
government would work with
the unions to insure Justice in
industry without stoppages of
work.
But it soon became evident
that labor's faith was being
betrayed. Government failed
to hold down the cost of liv-
ing and war agencies were
slow to reach decisions salts
factory to the workers. Pow
erful forces in industry took
advantage of the no-strike
pledge to undermine the un-
ions.
AMPLE PROOF
This double -barrelled failure
of government and industry
to live up to their part of the
bargain involved in the no.
strike pledge gave ample
proof of the two-fronted char
acter of the war. 1t proved to
the workers that the defeat of
FaScism abroad was no guar
antee of security and oppor-
tunity for American wage
earners.
The decision of the UAW-
CIO convention on the no.
strike pledge expresses the
necessity for a democratic Of
fensive at home. 1t reveals
the fighting spirit of the or
ganized workers in Amer
ica-a fighting spirit strong
enough to back up the war
effort against Fascism abroad,
and at the same time to wage
political war on home grown
FaScism.

IzATION:
Section 2574. THE PERSON
AGGRIEVED MUST APPLY
No reduction must be made in
the valuation of the property
unless the party affected there
by, or his agent, makes and files
with the board a written appli-
cation therefor, verified by his
oath, showing the facts upon
which it is claimed such deduc-
ton should be made.
Section 1875: EXAMINATION
OF PERSONS ASSESSED Be-
fore the board grants the appli-
cation or makes any reduction
applied for, it must examine, on
oath, the person or the agent
making the application touching
the value of the property of
such person. No reduction must
be made unless such person or
agent making the application
attends, and answers all ques-
tons pertinent to the inquiry.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OP-
NION:
Section 2575 (Sec. 3788 Pol.
Code 1885, must be considered
and construed with Section 2574.
This section PROHIBITS the
Board from making any reduc-

the application must appear be-
fore the board in person or by
