.UniOnisfs Call
For No-Strike

Three international officers OF
the UAW-CIO appealed TO rank
and file members of the union TO
retain the mo strike" pledge In
radio addresses over stati n
WXYZ last night.
Time for the broadcast was pur-
chased by the union and the ad-
dresses were made in opposition
10 the JAWS national rank and
file committee. which is advocat-
ing repeal of the pledge in an in
ternational referendum now being
conducted a m ong the unions
1900 900 members.
Talks were made by Walter p.
Reuther. vice president; Richard
T. Leonard, national Ford direc-
tor, and George F. Adde's, secre-
tary-treasurer Leonard spoke for
Thomas, who is i'll with laryn-
gifts.
Leonard said in part:
1.-THE answer 20 the question
OF retaining the no-strike pledge,
In my opinion, carries with II
also the answer to the future OF
Our organization Thomas said.
OPINION BY THOMAS
81 am of the belief that fail
ure 20 renew the nO-strike pledge
will endanger perhaps fatally
the existence of our union I'm the
months ahead, and certainly In
the postwar period, when the
servicemen come home.
Labor gave It's nO-strike
pledge In December OF 194l. As
workers and as members Of
labor we had special reason for
giving the pledge to our Com
mander-in-chief.
1T was our job 10 supply the
production for our country. That
was our task after Pearl HArbor
and IL Is our task today. IL In
true, 10 an extent, that the tide
of war has turned since those
dark days. II IN still possible
for our country 10 lose this war.
PLEAD FOR BALLOTS
81 therefore urge the menu
bers OF the UAW-CIO, with all
the emphasis at my command.
TO cast their ballots In the pend
ing referendum for the uphold
ing a no-strike pledge" Thomas
concluded.
Vice President Reuther said:
81 believe labor and the Jaw
Go should maintain the mo-
strike pledge until the war il
won. believe that when Ger
many IN defeated that the pledge
should be modified 80 that II
VIII apply only 10 plants pro-
dHei#g war materials for use
against Japan. believe that
normal and unrestricted cOllec-
tive bargaining, including the
right 90 strike, should then
prevail I'm non-war plants"
Secretary Adde's in his speech
pointed out that the no-strike
pledge has been renewed three
times since its origin in 1871 and
ne hoped in the coming referen-
DUN the members would vote yes.
