Reacti0naries Fight
Liberal Compensation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2
LPA)-Legislation to pro-
vide more liberal unemploy-
men compensation during
the reconversion period was
seriously imperilled t h i S
week by a united front of
sweatshoppers, state office
holders and reactionary con-
gressmen.
AS Congress came back in
to session, this united front
appeared to hold the upper
hand, despite an urgent plea
from President Truman that in
creased pay to the jobless be
made a mo. 1 Must" on the
legislative program of Congress.
OuOSI IIlS Olll do DoNhSu W
Truman, by organized labor and
by progressives generally, the
federal government would sup
plement state benefit rates so
as to make possible maximum
benefits of $25 a week for up to
rs weeks year. The bill would
also extend unemployment COM
pensation to workers not now
covered and would provide for
payment of travel expenses to
war workers shifting to new jobs
in other cities.
Truman For Benefits
President Truman join d
hands with organized labor in
declaring that the improved job
less benefits are essential to tide
the workers over the transition
period and avoid an economic
nosedive.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1945-09-14

claimed that the bill puts a
premium on idleness.
Also, as part of the strategy
to defeat the bill, Chairman
George of the Senate Finance
Committee wired state governors
asking whether the additional
Federal compensation could le-
gally be paid by the states to
the unemployed. Many answered
''yes," but an even greater num-
Der claimed additional state
legislation would have to be
passed to legalized acceptace of
the supplementary benefits.
Brown Hits Argument
President Harvey w. Brown
of the Int'l Assn of Machinists
likewise assailed the argument
that workers would loaf if their
jobless benefits were boosted.
That fictitious argument" he
said, "is put forward by those
who would like to see a large
army of unemployed. They could
then force wage levels down."
Meanwhile, one of the strong
est blasts against the states
rights" smoke-screen came from
Sen. Alben Barkley 3D., Ky0,
majority leader of the Senate,
I'VE passed a reconversion act
last year providing financial as
sistance to owners of corpora
tions and no state came in here
and claimed it was their job, )"
Barkley said. The states didn't
object to federal crop insurance
or highway aid from the federal
government or offer to take it
over.
But when it comes to human
beings the states claim it is their
sacred ground.

JobIess Benefits
Increase 200oyo

WASHINGTON (LPA) Sept.
1-Predictions of how many
unemployed there will be six
months or year from now
flowed freely in this city last
week, but there were fewer who
were willing to go out on limb
and estimate how many workers
were Ii oking for jobs right now.
The War ManpoWer Commits
sion says that in the first II
days after the fall of Japan, D.
100, 900 workers have been dis
placed from war production.
How many of these have been
re-employed the VINO does not
know. This does not take into
account discharged servicemen
returning to civilian life, or
workers In service industries de-
pendent on war industry who
have been fired.
Despite difficulties in connec-
ton with filing claims, the num-
Der of registrations for unem--
ployment insurance had reached
a peak of 100000 n the week
ending Aug. 25, an increase of
more than 200 per cent over
the previous week.

Here is Truman's list on
which Congress must act in
coming months:
/. Unemployment compensa-
ton. He reiterated earlier pro-
posals to provide emergency
supplements to state unemploy-
ment benefits up to SIS week
for 26 weeks, and to extend COW
erage to Federal workers, mari
time workers and others. Tru-
man vigorously assailed those
who charge the Kilgore Bill en-
bodying these proposals would
undermine the present jobless
benefit system, and listed what
the bill does not do" It is, he
said, designed to meet the i'm
mediate pressing human prob
lens of reconversion."

Smith Calls
For Act Repeal

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Even
Congressman can learn. Rep.
Howard w. Smith 3D., Va.) last
week asked that his Smith-Con-
nally (War Labor Disputes) Act
be repealed.
Protesting that his bill "was
an emergency measure only"
Smith agrees now with the labor
leaders who told him when he
started the legislation for con-
troll of labor activities that it
would do more harm than good.
He said, II hope the elimination
+. !. may :. correct the obvious
evils of present industrial rela-
tons"
However, labor men here still
have their fingers crossed.
Knowing congressman as they
do, there are fears that this olive
branch toward labor may be-
come, like Aaron's rod, alive
with SerpentS.

WhippIe Shows
Good Strength
In Toledo Vote

Results of the only contested
post in the American Newspaper
Guild election showed Charles
w. Whipple, candidate for Guild
secretary-tr with an ex-
ceptionally good vote. Whipple
was defeated in the balloting of
the Toledo Newspaper Guild by
William Rogers, incumbent, A
to 33, but his vote was regarded
as exceptionally good in view of
the fact that Toledo has always
been regarded as a strong ad-
ministration town.
VIM. Rogers is a member of
the Washington Guild, while
Charles Whipple is a member of
the Boston Guild. The latter was
a Red Cross director in Europe
during the war and is attached
to the Boston Globe.

Dates Set For
In Conference

WASHINGTON (LPA) Sept.
II The labor-management
peace conference called by Pres
ident Truman will meet either
Oct. % or Nov. 5, it was agreed
here last week. A special work
ing committee to plan the meet
ing has been set us, including
representatives. of Labor and
Commerce Departments, AFL,
CIO, NAM and c. of c.
Scope of the agenda is still un-
defined, and will be one of the
subjects to be settled by the
working committee before the
next full meeting on Sept. 20.
Widely varying views on what
the conference should cover have
been expressed by the labor par
ticipants. President Truman in
his message to Congress last
week reported that in his view
the conference was called for
the purpose of working out by
agreement means to minimize
labor disputes" AFL represen-
tative Robert j. Watt in radio
talk last week suggested that
"the agenda of the conference be
limited to this one outstanding
problem-how to set up machin-
cry for the peaceful settlement
of disputes between labor and
management affecting produc-
ton" CIO President Philip Muir
ray some time ago wrote to La
Dor Secretary Schwellenbach
urging more expanded agenda.
Working Committee Named
On the working committee to
plan the conference are: Major
Paul Douglas, U. S. Marine
Corps, former professor of eco
nomics at the University of Chi
cago, representa-, Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach; Charles
Symington of the Symington-
Gould Co. in Maryland, repre-
senting Secretary of Commerce
Henry Wallace; Robert Watt for
the AFL and Ted Silvey for the
CIO; Joyce O'Hara, assistant to
President Eric Johnston of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce;
Ray Smethurst, attorney, for the
National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The committee is to bring in
proposals on the people to attend
the conference, and how they are
to be selected, how the confer
ence will be organized, and the
tentative agenda.

Defeated were the Scale
Workers of Ohio, Inc, an Sin
dependent" union which has
held plant bargaining rights fo.
the past three years. The vote
gave the UAW 254 ballots
against 214 for the Scale Work
ers of Ohio. No Union received
six votes while 16 ballots were
challenged.
History of Elections
First election ever held at the
Toledo Scale Co. plant on Dec
4, 1912 resulted in victory for
the independent" Scale Work
ers of Ohio. Dissatisfaction with
the unaffiliated organization con-
tinued to mount and after con-
siderable agitation for another
election, the NLRB granted
referendum which was held on
April IL, 1914.
When the 1914 election was
over, the Scale Workers union
was again victorious, but the SO
vote majority by which it had
won in 1912 was whitfield down
to a slim 26.
New officers were elected by
the Scale Workers and for the
first time since the organization
of the union, some slight gains
were made for the employees of
the plant. When the last cleo
ton was held by the "inde-
pendent" union, an entire new
slate of officers was elected, the
third complete turnover in top
officers in three years.
Workers Are Dissatisfied
Workers became dissatisfied
with the frequent changes in
their principal officers, and this,
coupled with the failure of the
independent" Scale Workers
union to make any appreciable
gains in three years led to new

from $2,577 million in the pre-
war years to S8,842 million in
1943 when war production was
"all-out."
BY the last quarter of 1946,
we can achieve a gross national
product of $156 billion, along
with the highest profits in his
tory, and still have 100000
workers jobless. This, labor
economists indicate, makes even
more urgent action by Congress,
industry, and government agen-
cies, to raise wage levels, achieve
full production, and full employ
ment, despite the cries of indus
trialists that they cant afford"
cuts in profits and prices.

Face
Strike Threuf

Toledo warehouses face the
prospect of an immediate strike
as the result of an NLRB cleo
ton conducted here on Wednes-
day of this week under the
Smith, -Connally Act. The en-
ployees of the ware he buses,
members fo the United Retail,
Wholesale, Department Store
Employes-CIO applied to the
Board 80 days ago for the right
to vote.
Determination to seek a
strike vote under the Smith
Connally law came last month
when the arrangements of the
Toledo warehouses with which
Local 1868 has contractual rela-
tions refused to negotiate a uni
form contract for all ware
houses.
Erwin States Position
Ivo Erwin, president of the
Toledo Joint Council with which
the warehouse employees are
affiliated stated the position of
the Union on the uniform con-
tract. He said, "We are deter
mined to have a uniform con-
tract for all the warehouses.
We are fed up with being told
by the various warehouse man.
that the contracts are
not uniform and are in agree
ment with them that something
should be done to remedy the
condition"
Warehouse arrangements have
been the principal objectors to
a lack of uniformity in the
warehouse contracts according
to Mr.. Erwin.
Involved in the dispute are
the A&P, Great Lakes, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers, To-
ledo Terminal, Creasey Co..
Bostwick & Braun and Lee &
Cady warehouses.
A walkout of workers may
occur anytime following the ac-
tual taking of the strike vote.
This practice has been followed
by unions using the Smith
Connally Act during the war.

Nonethless, the opponents,
through a barrage of scare pro-
paganda and falsehoods, had
created a situation that critical
ly dimmed the chances for the
bill, unless President Truman
brings the strongest kind of
pressure to bear-and unless the
workers of the nation shower
their congressman with demands
for action on the legislation.
Both the Senate Finance Com
mittee and the House Ways and
Means Committee, which have
held hearings on the bill ap-
peared to be stacked against it,
particularly the latter. On both
the membership is topheavy with
southern bourbons and northern
tories.
Estates Rights" Fight
Much of the opposition at the
hearings came from the states
Fighters - from state admins
traitors of unemployment COM
pensation who raised hysterical
cries about liberalization" of
their systems and about zen
couragement to idleness" if job
less workers were given a bit
more liberal compensation.
Spokesman for the Natl Assn
of Manufacturers and the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce echoed
the cry of the states Fighters"
and tried to put over the added
propaganda that America is in
for a BOOM" and that better
unemployment insurance won't
be needed anyway.
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Com
reflecting the typical po-
sition of Dixie reactionaries,
