1t is believed the chances
for the two major unions
drawing together on the un-
employment compensation bill
a good in view of the fact that
the CLU has a new group of Of
ficers who are favorably dispos-
ed to working closer with the
CIO on legislative matters
which effect the mutual welfare
of the two organizations.
Tom Burke, TIUC executive
secretary over whose signature
the letter was written comment
ing on the CLOS move to work
with the AFL said, "this action
is in keeping with the wishes of
both CIO and AFL state organi-
cations. We believe that bill as
important to labor as the unem-
ployment compensation bill re-
quires our joint efforts"
Would Increase Benefits
The new unemployment COM
pensation bill would increase
the benefit from its pres
ent SIG maximum to $25 and
would increase the time during
which such benefits could be
received from 18 to 26 weeks.
1t would cut the waiting period
from two to one week and pro-
vides increased benefits all
along the line.
Both the Ohio CIO Council
and Ohio Federation of Labor
have been working in close
unity to advance the unemploy-
ment compensation bill since it
was introduced into the .legisla-
ture. The bill was introduced by
Senators Kirkendall CD Day
ton, and Witacre CD Minerva.
In the House an identical bill
was introduced by Represen-
tative Metzenbaum CD Cleve.
land.
Efforts are being made
throughout the state to organize
citizens committees representing
leaders of various organizations
to support the legislation. Cleve-
land Consumers League has such
a committee which is active in
giving the bill its backing.

Organzational act vities
have been inaugurated in the
new counties assigned to Re-
gional Director Richard Cos
ser. These include Richland,
Knox and Ashland.
John urke, International
UAW-CIO representative, Ma
rion, has been assigned to the
new territory by Director Cos
ser and is conducting a survey
to determine the amount of or
ganizational work which will be
necessary to bring plants into
the UAW-CIO which properly
come under its jurisdiction.
Begin Organization Work
Two Mansfield plants are in
the beginning of organization
according to a recent report
from Mr.. Burke who says the
drive is proceeding slowly due
to the fear which the workers
in the plants have of losing their
jobs because of union activities.
In addition to his work in the
new territory, Mr.. Burke is en-
gagged in servicing the amalga-
mated Local of the Universal
Cooler Co. Several issues are
now before the War Labor
Board awaiting its decision. A
directive from the Board order
ing a night shift bonus was re-
ceived for the workers at the

Montgomery Calls For
Exfenfion Of Grade
Labelling

CHICAGO - Donald Mont
gomery, consumer counsel for
the United Auto Workers, CIO,
told a national meeting of
wholesale groc GERS here last
month that labor considers dis
tribution costs to be too high
and that labor intends to do
something about it as part of its
post war objective of raising the
general standard of living.
Montgomery said labor wants
more commodity information,
not only grade labelling but in
formative labelling to back that
up, and that labor will extend
its experiments into collective
buying. He added that he meant
the development of consumer
co-ops and group contract buy
ing.

Labor CHALLENGES
Monpower
Scheme

BOSTON Feb. 20 GPA)-An
attempt has been made by the
War Manpower Commission to
force workers in 10 textile mills
in New Bedford to give up their
seniority rights and take jobs in
two plants making critical tire
cord for military use at lower
wages. The New Bedford events
are expected to be typical Of
WINGS actions under powers re-
Gently conferred on it by Asst.
President" James T. Byrnes.
Labor leaders also regard the
New Bedford VINO plan as a
sample of the injustices that
would occur under any law
drafting workers for private in
dustry.
Both CIO and AFL have chal-
lenged the action Of the VINO
as unconstitutional, arbitrary,
and unjust. The textile mills,
from which more than 100
workers were chosen for the
tire jobs, are covered by con-
tracts with the Textile Workers
Union of America-CI0. The CIO
petitioned for an injunction to
restrain the VINO from trans
ferring the workers, and was
turned down Feb. 20 by a judge
in u. S. District Court here.
On Feb. %, workers were still
refusing to accept the transfers,
on the grounds that there were
no safeguards of their seniority
in the change of jobs, that wages
were lower and the work load
much greater in the tire cord
plants. Out of l18 called by
VINO, only II had accepted re-
ferrals.

UIG W IIlG upper SlAd11lDCAs
At first the committee,
after ditching the May work
or-jail bill, drafted a thorough
going substitute which was
characterized as voluntary. 1t
contained none of the jail terms
or fines which featured the May
bill, stripped draft boards of any
authority over the program, and
left the administration in the
hands of the War Manpower
Commission.
At the last minute, however,
two reactionary senators-Mil-
lard Tydings ID, Md and War
ren r. Austin (R, Vt)-threw in
couple of monkey wrenches."
Tydings got in vicious
amendment which would freeze
draft-age farm workers to their
jobs, with penalties Of up to five
years in Jail and $4,000 fine if
they quit without permission of
LQelr QTaIL DOdrOS,
Austin got through another
equally bad amendment which
incorporated penalties of one
year in jail and up to a $4,000
fine for "willfuI" violators of
the measure.
Both Riders Approved
Both riders were approved by
narrow committee majorities.
Austin's was "okayed' only

members that it applied solely

power Commission employment
ceiling regulations, but later the
senator's differed on whether the
amendment applied to workers
as well.
At least one senator-A. B.
Chandler ID, Ky.)-said he
voted for the amendments in
the committee only because he
thought that thereby the entire
bill would be defeated in the
Senate. Chandler has been con-
sistently opposed to any new
legislation on the subject.
In any event, as result of
the. amendments, several sem
ators who sponsored the SUBJ
stitute-including Harley M.
Kilgore ID, w. Va.) prime
mover in drafting it-announced
they would fight to eliminate
the amendments on the floor Of
the Senate, and if they failed
they would vote against the bill.
Backed Without Amendments
Without the amendments, the
substitute had the backing of
both the AFL and CIO. It's main
features are these:
1. The VINO is given legal
power to establish manpower
ceilings over LESS essential" in
dustries and to direct workers
ceilings over ''less essential" in
