HONOLULU, Hawaii (FP)-Gl
Joes are getting wise to newspaper
smear campaigns against labor
promoted by reactionary forces to
split servicemen from the working
people. The army newspaper Mid
pacifican, published by and for
10000 soldiers in Hawaii, carried
in its Jan. Is issue an editorial
titled Soldiers Are Workingmen
Too.
"Note must be taken of the way
certain periodicals reaching SOL
diers have begun a smear cam
paign against labor" it said. SOL
diers generally are concerned about
this unfair carping. Most of them
are working men. Nearly a million
are trade union members"
"Organized labor" the editorial
went on, "has put itself unstin-
tingly behind the war effort, has
won the battel of production in
1943." 1t warned GI's not to go
off half-cocked at misleading,
hate producing articles playing up
minor strikes and coloring labor
disputes in favor of the employer.

and be counted" the house
voted 233-160 against amend
ing the rules to allow a roll
call vote.
Reactionaries In Control
The huge vote against roll
call indicated that Republicans
and a handful of southern Demo-
Gratis, led by John Rankin %.
Miss.), were still in firm control
of the house. Republicans lined up
almost solidly in what was con-
ceded to be test vote on the
issue of simple federal ballot
versus the complex absentee vot-
ing procedures of the AZ states.
Voting against a roll call were
1S0 Republicans, 50 Democrats,
and / Farmer-Laborite. For it
were LAG Democrats, II Republi-
cans, 2 Progressives and Ameri-
can-Laborite. Only Republicans
who refused to go along with the
COP stand were: John Anderson

defeat in the senate where chances
of pushing through the Lucas

Failure of the BIS Index to re-
fleet living cost increases is due
to five main deficiencies, the re-
port says:
1. The Index does not adequate
ly cover food cost increases, which
it places at 40.2 percent while the
actual figure is 74.2 percent.
Other deficiencies of the Index
on foods include failure to take
quality deterioration and upgrad-
ing into account.
2. The Index does not take into
account disappearance of cheaper
items and the shift to higher
priced lines. This, the report says,
is most striking in clothing, and
is also a large factor in house
furnishings, food and housing.

The report was signed for
the CIO by R. j. Thomas,
president of the UAW-CIO,
and for the AFL by George Meany,
secretary-treasurer. 1t was given
to William H. Davis, chairman of
the War Labor Board and chair
man of the Presidents committee
on the Cost of Living.
Based on consultation with gov
ernment, labor and business, and
on first hand field surveys by both
the CIO and the AFL, the report
shows that the "BLS Cost of Liv-
ing Index is unreliable as basis
for wage adjustments during the
war PERIOD" and that "sole reli-
ance upon it will result in con-
tinued serious injustice to wage
earners and lower-salaried work
ers."

Following MESA Strikes
Council Has
Dull Session

Dullest session of the cur
rent city council took place
last Monday morning with
only James Sherwood, ardent
council fan, to enliven the pro-
ceedings and draw rebuke from
Mayor Lloyd Roulet.
Mr.. Sherwood, who is sometimes
referred to as councilman without
portfolio, rose to object to post
war planning for which the city
appropriated $17,500 from gasoline
and automobile tax funds to pay its
share for plans for the post war.
After some few minutes during
which he talked all around his OBJ
jections, Mr.. Sherwood finally was
brought to order by Mayor Rou-
let's gavel. When he attempted to
answer the Mayor, he was told to
come to the point and not take up
SO much time. He mumbled some
thing about democracy" and
fright of free speech" while Coun-
Gil passed the legislation.
Legislation Passed
Ordinances were passed provid-
ing for street cleaning for 1914;
authorizing the city to accept
deeds for alley purchases and a
lot in Milwood addition.
Resolutions were passed grant
ing permission to the Advertising
Club of Toledo to do advertising
on st. Clair and Madison for the
Red Cross War Fund Drive, and
granting permission to t. F. Mea-
CHER to install temporary curbs in
Pleasant Place.
Referred to the committee of the
whole for action at its regular
Wednesday meeting was a resolu-
ton creating an additional inspect
or in the Police Department, and a
protest from the director of the
Toledo Museum of Art on city
water changes.
Mr.. Czelusta presented a reso-
luton directing the city manager
to return to duty police officers
serving the county on account of
the present wave of burglaries in
Toledo.

all so-called managerial and pro-
fessional" employees participate rs
a special unit for collective bar
gaining as long as this unit was
kept seperate from the balance of
the company workers.
No claim was made by the COM
pany representatives in their "off
the record" remarks that these
men were professional, managerial
or supervisory. All that the COM
pany asked of the union was that
it give up its policy of industrial
organization and establish an aris-
tocracy of certain workers.
In the hearings, the company
not once made the same admission
openly which it made in its "off
the record" conversations, but adj
hered to the position that the du-
ties of these employees made it in
appropriate for them to be repre-
sented by a union,
One of the most ridiculous reve-
lations made by the company at
the hearing was the claim that the
company did not think laboratory
employees need seniority as do
other workers. The claim was
made that in the inetalurgical divi-
sion of the laboratory there were
eight supervisors, but no people
to be supervised. The idea was
based upon the fact that because
metal inspectors have the right to
stop a job until a defect in the
metal was remedied, they were
supervisors.

Several hours later at 10:55 p.

by President Roosevelt as "mean-

bill, which tosses handling of the

With polltaxer John Rankin Cd.
Miss.) assuming leadership, the
triumphant Republicans defeated
supporters of a federal ballot on
every point raised. Although as
finally presented on the floor, the
Worley bill contained drastic con-
cessions to the polltaxers, it was
defeated on two separate votes. It's
first licking came on 215 to 164
teller vote. Hours later came a
switch in COP strategy and house
Republican leader Joseph W. Mar
tin (Mass.) announced Republicans
were willing to face a rollcall vote
on the issue.
The vote came on a motion to
send the Rankin bill back to COM
nittee, with instructions to report
out the Worley bill. Voting against
this were It's Republicans, 48
Democrats (mostly from southern
5tates) and l Farmer Laborite.
Only II Republicans joined with
148 Democrats and 8 minority
party members in voting for the
motion. Supporters of a federal
ballot in the senate defeated Feb.

floor the Lacas-Green federal bal

Mr.. Guberman said, "the
five days of the hearing de-
monstrated to all who believe
in the security and protection to
be gained by joint action through
membership in labor unions, that,
despite the National Labor Rela-
tions Act and other statutory bene-
fits afforded American working
men in the past 10 years, the big
corporate interests have not yet
accepted the principles of those
statutes as part of our every day
life"
Fights The Workers
Stating that the hearing demon
strated that big business will fight
in any and all ways possible the
workers right to better himself,
Mr.. Guberman said, the claims
made by the representatives of the
Spicer Co. management indicate
that in order to secure their own
ends, the corporate interests will
advance arguments and contentious
that are ridiculous in the extreme" !"
Mr.. Guberman said that "there
is but one answer to the whole
thing, and that is, more and more
organization, greater participation
by the union memberships, and
concentrated program of educa-
tion for the members in the mean
ing and benefits of organization"
Company Attitude Shown
Attitude of the company was
shown in their willingness in "off
the record" conversations to have
