who believe in the PAC pro-
gram for better government.
PAC Chairman Clayton Rusch
discussing the membership drive
said, "It is becoming apparent
to me that the increased num-
Der of memberships which are
coming to the PAC is partially
h We in the repeal of the PR
system. Our membership drive
due to the interest which people
will be continued until the end
of February and we expect that
the response will increase from
day to day"
Petitions for placing the PR
repeal on the ballot for the
November election will be COM
pleted within the next 10 days.
The petition calls for a nine man
council under the city manager
form of government, the same
as the present form, but asks
that the nine candidates receiv-
ing the highest number of votes
be declared elected.
Groups To Cooperate
Chairman Rusch expressed the
opinion that all groups favorable
to repeal of the PR system
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1945-02-16

would cooperate with the PAc
in its efforts to the present sys-
tenn.
81 know there are several
opinions about what should be
done to elect city councilmen
after PR is eliminated. We ask
that the nine man council be re-
tanned with the councilmen ell
ected at-large, the same as now,
and the city manager form of
government continued. We find
no fault with the present form
of government, but want to
change the method of choosing
our municipal representatives"
Councilman Tom Burke, one
of the leaders of the PR repeal
movement, discussing the ques-
ton said, "We are willing to
take our chances with the setup
where councilmen are elected
by pluralities. We do not believe
the present system has worked
well and that the people of To-
ledo are ready to change to a
system where the men who ac-
tually get the most votes are
elected to office"

accused the War Dept. of "sabo-
tage" and declared "This is a
good example of the dirty dou-
blecrossing that goes on in the
executive departments of the

Under-Sec'y of War Robert P.
Patterson later apologized to
Johnson for the "double-cross-
ing' act, but the damage had
been done and the War Dept.
had lost its chance to stampede
the Senators into passing the

Hearings got under way with

luctantly. He told the Senators

Organized labor's spokesmen
testified towards the close of
the hearings. They not only de-
nounced the imposition of la
Dor draft as a form of "slave
labor" but presented powerful
facts and figures showing that
the so-called manpower short
age" has been exaggerated out
of all proportion to, the true
situation.
Many senator's declared pub
licly they are now convinced
that labor draft law would be
serious mistake. For example,
Sen. Albert B. Chandler Cd,
Ky.) said that the evidence had
made it clear to him that such
law would "hurt rather than
help production" Other men,
bers of the upper house voiced
similar sentiments.

quests for an increase In
prices can be studied has
been ordered by Fred M.
Vinson, economic stabilization
director. The union, in a state
ment issued following the meet
ing, said that the workers were
particularly incensed at the
packers action, in view of their
tremendous wartime profits"
Wilson's ruling came before
the board could make a final
decision in the case. Lewis j.
Clark, president of the interna-
tional union, branded Wilson'S
decision "a change in the rules
in the middle of the game" and
added that his action made it
impossible for the WLB to make
a decision ION the merits of the
cases"
The union opened its nego-
tiations with the Big Four pack
ers, Armour, Swift, Cudahy and
Wilson, and the largest inde-
pendent packer, John Morrell &
Co., in August, 1943, 18 months
ago.
No Wage Increases
1--WE think it we'll to call your
attention TO the fact that the
packinghouse workers have had
no wage increase since August,
194l, while workers in other
in dustries have had wage
raises" Clark said in COM
munication to Vinson. "Over
two-thirds of these workers
have wage rates of from 81 to
81.5 cents per hour. Although
the work is unpleasant, hazard
Gus and difficult, their produc-
tion job has been unprece-
dented. In 1914, the five COM
panies involved in this case did
over $4,500,000,000 worth of
business and made about $780,
100000 gross in wartime profits.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, with your approval, just
recently imposed ceilings on
live cattle and increased the
subsidy to the farmer, thus fur
ther insuring the packers of
stability and profit"
The unions executive board
reconvened on Feb. 8 in Wash
in3ton, and began an intensive
drive to get an immediate deci.
sion on their case.

delegation. His spokesman told

Mr.. Topel explained the Vet

UAW plant in which he did not
work before entering the armed

Gil. He urged all Locals in Re-

their weapon against the forces
of reaction now and after the
war.

relative to region 2B was with
held pending the outcome of the
international JAWS effor t s

and the disposition of the Mont

United States Supreme Court.
Present Four Resolutions
Four resolutions were unani-
mously passed by the confer
ence as follows:
/. Opposition to peacetime
conscription on the ground that
it fostered war, regimented the
youth of America and was po-
tential Strike-breaking agency.
2. Retention of the present
wage level after wartime pro-
duction forces a cutback in the
hours worked. High wage levels
must be retained in order that
the workers might maintain
themselves with a standard of
living commensurate with the
resources of the country.
3. A resolution asking all
local unions in Region 2-B as
we'll as all members to write a
letter to their senator's insisting
upon the appointment of for
mer vice-president Henry A.
Wallace as Secretary of Com
merce.
4. Condemnation of tn e

which is unnecessary and would
shackle labor which has accom-
plished the greatest job of pro-
duction in the. history of the
country while free. Lack of
planning by government Of

failure of labor to produce said

Crosses State Lines

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 GPA Exclusive)-A nation

reached from Florida to Maryland last week. with ndica-
ons that the unionbustng drive would be carried into
other states if it succeeded in MARYLAND.

other states if it succeeded il
Every member of the
Maryland state legislature,
which was considering the
worst anti-labor bill on the
memory of U. S. Labor Depart
ment officials, was sent a per-
sonal letter by a member of the
Florida House of Representa-
tives. Florida recently enacted a
so-called right to work" law
which was opposed by all or
organized labor.
The letter was signed by State
Representative Joseph G. Jen-
kins, of Alachua County, and
was written on stationery of the
Florida House of Representa-
tives.
Unions Suspect Bill
AFL and CIO officials, who
suspect that the bill was inspired
by the misnamed Christian
American Association" = which
is supporting anti-labor bills in
a dozen states-are furious over
the letter and are trying to as
certain whether Jenkins has any
connection with the Christian
Americans" or any of its
branches in other states. Jen-
kin's letter, which was not re-
quested by any member of the
Maryland legislature, called the
legislators attention to the Flo
rida anti-closed shop law. The
letter provided the exact word
ing of the law, apparently in the
hope, said union officials, that
the legislators, of Maryland
would adopt the Florida version.
Labor's suspicion that there
may be a definite hook-up be-
tween the Christian American
Association" and the present
Maryland anti-labor drive was
underlined by the discovery that
the chief backer of the Mary
land bill (if not its inspiration)
is the American Citizens Asso-
ciation." Maryland State AFL
President Robert Buxbaum told
LPA that he believed that there
may be a tie-up between the
American Citizens Associa-
ton" and the American Christ
ian Front" another anti-labor
organization that has been put
ting pressure on state legisla-
lures and Congressman for pas
sage of anti-labor laws.
Would End Unions
The proposed Maryland law,
according to Buxbaum, would
practically put unions out of
business. That opinion was
shared by Labor Dept officials
who declared that the statute is
the worst that has ever come to
their attention.
Here is what the new bill
provides:
/. Registration of all unions
with the Secretary of State.
2. Filing of annual financial
reports with the Secretary of
State.
3. No secondary boycott and
no picketing by anyone other
than the strikers themselves.
4. The closed shop is out
lawed.
5. Compulsory arbitration of
all disputes before a strike is
called.
6. A strike could not be called
without a three-fifths majority
of the union membership voting
in favor.
z. Listing of all officers of
the union with the Secretary of
State.
In addition, according to Bux-
baum, the proposed law would
practically make impossible the
election of union officers. Elec-
ton could be only by majority
of dues-paying members. Scores
of Maryland plants, Buxbaum
pointed out, are on war work,
and operating two and three
shifts.
Unions Oppose Bill
Both CIO and AFL leaders in
Washington and Maryland have
expressed opposition to the bill,
and will testify before any COM
mittee of the Maryland General
Assembly if hearings are held
