Defiance Election
Won By JAW

DEFIANCE, Oct. 19 Especially
Employees of the Defiance
Screw Products Co. of this city,
voting in an NLRB election here
yesterday, chose the UAW-CIO
by an overwhelming majority.
Results of the vote were as
follows:
UAW, 1874 votes.
Company Association, Sc.
AFL, 8.
No union, 4.
Outcome of the vote for the
AFL was a surprise in view of
the fact that Defiance has been
an AFL stronghold for the past
25 years. The result of the cleo
ton proves that the AFL is los
ing its hold, according to un-
biased commentators.
Harold Kolb, International
UAW-CIO representative, was in
charge of the organizational
drive.
Regional Director Richard
Gosser expressed his thanks to
the organizing committee. "The
results of this election are very
pleasing. l welcome the new
members into our union and am
sure that we will be able to ad-
vance their cause"

by George DeNucci, Secretary

Names Head
Veterans

DETROIT, Oct. "a. = The
appointment of Joseph G..
Velosky, wounded veteran
of the Sicilian campaign, as
director of the Veterans De-
partment of the United Automo-
bile Workers, CIO, was an
nounced today.
r. j. Thomas, UAW-CIO pres
ident, said that Velosky's ap-
pointment was in conformity
with the mandate of the UAW
convention in Grand Rapids that
a war veteran and union mem
Der should direct the veterans
activities of the union. This ac-
ton of the convention was based
on recommendations of a con-
ference of UAW war veterans
held in Washington last April
Velosky's appointment is the
first step in the creation of a
staff for the Veterans Depart
ment, as directed by the conven-
ton. The Department will be
charged with the coordination
of activities of local unions in
rendering all possible aid TO
veterans in matters of reem-
ployment and rehabilitation. II
also will promote legislation FOR
veterans benefits, and cooperate
wherever possible with existing
veterans organizations on mat
ters concerning union veterans.
Served In Tunisia
Velosky was inducted into the
Army in September, 1912. He
had previously spent six years
in the regular army as an en-
listed soldier between 1928 and
1884. He was sent overseas in
April, 1943, after completing
basic training at Camp Wheeler,
Georgia. His first action was
with the First Division in the
Battle of Tunisia. He was in
the first wave of troops to hit
the beach in the invasion of
Sicily in June, 1943. He fought
in the Sicilian campaign until
he was wounded August 5, 1943.
After year of disqualification
abroad and in this country, We
losky received his honorable
discharge in August, 1914.
He is long-standing member
of the .UAW-CIO, having first
joined Local 227 in 1886 when
he was employed at the DeSoto
plant. At that plant he was at
various times a line steward, a
chief steward, a member of the
locals bargaining committee, a
member of the executive board,
and financial secretary of the
local.
Immediately prior to his in
duction, Velosky was an inter
national representative of the
UAW-CIO, assigned to the De-
fense Employment Committee of
the International union.

Bricker


NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 24-
Scoring Republican vice-presi-
Dental candidate Gov. John
Bricker for charging that agents
of the CIO Political Action Com
mittee had launched a campaign
of threats and intimidations"
to pocket labor's vote for the
New Deal, CIO-PAC Chairman
Sidney Hillman declared this
week, "these are the charges
of candidate gone wild with
fear at the sight of the grim
spectre of defeat constantly
stalking him and his running
mate.
IF he can't win the votes of
labor, he's going to scare them
into voting for him." Hillman
continued. The PAC head ex-
posed Bricker's ridiculous state
ment by repeating the COPS
vice-president nominees state
ment in the same speech: Il
want to give you this assurance.
We still have a secret ballot in
this country. When you enter
the voting booth, you enter 1t
alone"
Has No Evidence
Hillman asserted that Bricker
knows he has no evidence to
prove this or any of the other
wild charges he has been MAX
ing in this campaign" He re-
minded the "forgetful" governor
that "the FBI has twice inveS-
tigated PAC, the Senate Com
mittee on Campaign Expendi-
lures has investigated, and so
has the House Committee on
Campaign Expenditures. No one
has ever been able to find
single specific instance to prove
PAC coercion"
Assailing Republican efforts
to block registration and thus
cut down the vote, Hillman said
Bricker's own performance and
"that of his henchmen all over
the country, has been to use
every device, and invent others,
to cut down the size of the vote
Look what he did with his SOL
dier's vote law in Ohio.
"He" terrified, because he
knows what will happen with
heavy vote. He smells defeat"
