MESA Is
Planning
More Strikes
Continued From Page

Opportunity given the NLRB
to intervene in the NLRB hear
ing held here Feb. 4 was turned
down by the MESA, which pro-
tested that the NLRB was pre-
JUDGED against their organiza-
ton and favored the UAW-CIO.
Immediately following the re-
fual of the MESA to take part
in the NLRB representation
hearing requested by Local IL,
UAW-CIO, the MESA called all
its employees in Toledo, Detroit
and Cleveland out on strike in
protest against the alleged un-
fairness of the NLRB.
CIO Is Growing
UAW-CIO officials say that
the MESA is driving its mem
bers into their organization by
the action taken Feb. 4, when
the MESA ordered a strike, by
the failure of that union to pro-
tect the seniority of its members,
by its threat to resort to the
strike against the NLRB, and
its defiance of the National War
Labor Board.
MESA workers are frankly dis
gusted with their organization .
use of the strike in attempting
to settle jurisdictional differ
ences. One worker in the WHY'S
plant, under MESA, stated the
case: eve are just as anxious to
win this war as anyone else,
but what can we do when our
organization orders us out OF
the plant? We ourselves believe
that the CIO is right in giving
up the use of the strike for the
duration, and we certainly see
no reason why we should pen
alize the war effort because our
leaders don't know anything
else to do but strike" F."
Members of the MESA join
ing the UAW-CIO leads organ
izers for the Auto Workers to
believe that the MESA will suf-
fer a crushing defeat when the
NLRB orders the election as a
result of its Feb. hearing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %, FP)
Labor will be given an equal
voice with industry in pending
production readjustments, war
Production Board Chairman
Donald M. Nelson told q meet
ing Of top AFL and ClO
leaders.
Similar assurance were gwen
10 a group of leading industrial
lists who met with Nelson two
weeks previously to discuss
production problems.
Nelson cautioned against In
terpreting expected cutbacks IN
some aspects of munitions prod
uction as an indication of less
ening tension in the war effort
While 1914 will see some major
shifts in production emphasis
due to the changing demands of
the fighting forces, the overall
magnitude of the munitions
program is scheduled to remain
at about the present level, he
said.
In spite of all the talk about
reconversio1 there is little of
it actually in the cards until
after Germany has been de-
feated," he said. THE most
critical period of the war from
the military standpoint, still lies
ahead. II would be a catastrophe
If we should mislead ourselves
into slackening our efforts just
at the time when the best that
we have in us is critically
needed.o

Wallace Worms Of
Postwar MonopcIies

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 10. (FP)
Government owned war plants
may be gobbled up by monopoly
interests after the war and with
held from production, Vice. Pres.
Henry A. Wallace warned here.
War plants that have been
built in the west and SOUTH" he
said, must be kept in full pro-
duction. Their production will
be required to create the living
standard which Americans must
have after the war. i propose
that instead of selling these
plants, the government lease
them on terms which will assure
their continued independent op-
Grafton"
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1944-02-25

Freshly returned from a
speaking tour of midwest
and west coast states, Wallace
told reporters he based his OBJ
servations on talks he had with
civilians and soldiers on trains
during his trip. Soldiers are be-
hind Roosevelt for a 70 u n
term, strictly from the military
viewpoint of winning the war,
he said. Soldier vote legislation
was still deadlocked in confer
ence Feb. II, with no immediate
solution in sight.
Repeating a widely-publiclzed
statement made during his trip,
Wallace said he was certain the
President would be reelected IN
1914. but h e did not KIN o w
whether the President had de-
cided to run.
AS for his own candidacy, the
vice-president insisted that was
in the lap of the gods and the
future.
Mccormick Is Fascist
Asked to name some of the
American fascists he had ac-
cused in one of his speeches OF
working against victory, Wal
1ooa said "T think Col. Nc
Cormick (Chicago Tribune pub
lisher) is enough for the mo-
ment." The vice-president said
he was considering writing an
article for the N. Y. Times nam
ing the fascists he had in minds
The Times took editorial oblec-
ton TO Wallace's use of the word
fascist" which he defined as q
man who put dollars first and
mankind second,
Roosevelt is the only possible
Democratic candidate for 1914,
Wallace said, asserting that the
needs of the war effort demand
his reelection. The middleWest
remains the most difficult part
of the country for the President,
he admitted, but said the situa-
ton in Illinois-cradle OF the
Chicago Tribune--is improving.
Wallace condemned efforts to
aseribe e widespread antilapor
sentiment to members of the
armed forces. "They are out OF
patience with strikes" he said1
"but they are definitely not
against labor. AS matter OF
fact, a very high percentage are
workingmen themselves or sons
of workingmen,"
He refused to comment di-
rectly on a statement that the
administration is losing favor
with organized labor, but re-
ferred instead to a meeting he
had with a joint AFL-CIO rail
road brotherhoods committee in
Wisconsin, which revealed a
strong feeling for the President.
Throughout his tour, he saidS
he found a great increase in
liberal sentiment and a very
fine attitude" on the war. He
praised the Farmer-Labor and
Democratic parties in Minnesota
for making common cause be-
hind the liberal banner,

City TO
Ask For
Exemptions
Continued From Page ]

/
there was considerable discus
sion about city finances. There
was some question about whe-
ther the committee of council
which was to visit Governor
John Bricker should still go and
see him since the city was able
to recover approximately $148,-
600 for its general fund.
1t was the concensus of the
council, particularly stressed by
vice-mayor Michael Disable, that
the committee still see the gov
ernor and ask him to put the
case of Toledo finances on the
call which he has said he would
send out to reconvene the state
legislature in special session
to consider legislation relative
to the soldiers vote.
Most of the members of coun-
ell seemed to believe that To.
ledo should receive larger por-
tion of the sales tax than it has
been getting, a feeling which is
strengthened because of the
more than 78 million dollar
surplus which is lying idle in
the state treasury.
Final decision of council was
that the committee should go
and see Governor Bricker and
lay the case of the city before
him and plead with him to make
some of the surplus sales tax
funds available for the use of
the city,

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, (FP)-
Readers Digest, under fire re-

The Council for Pan Amer

i've form.
"The Digest started out as
reprint magazine but grew in
to something quite different"
the New Yorker said in a letter
to its contributors explaining
its decision. Nowadays a large
portion of its contents is frankly
original with the Digest. Of the
stuff that is presented as reprint
