II Takes Two

In their meeting last week, members of
the Toledo Management Citizens
Committee considered but did not act on
a resolution requesting the labor and
management press to refrain from writing
anything that might destroy the industrial
harmony which the committee is seeking
to establish in this city.
This newspaper can only speak for it,
self, but it does say that nothing will be
written about the Labor Management
Citizens Committee which is not the truth.
I'm the past, it has not been necessary
to propaganda the workers, at least not
in this city. That job has been attempted
with varying success by other than the
labor press. The actual job of the labor
press in Toledo and elsewhere is TO fumi-
gate the minds of the workers after they
subject themselves to wide, but not always
wise reading.
Members of the Toledo Labor-Manage-
ment- Citizens Committee need have no
fear Of the TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL,
which lives up to the rules laid down by
the committee when it first was organ
lied.
Guided by the policies of CIO, this
newspaper will express whatever views
the organization may have with respect to
the Labor-Management- Citizens Commit
tee.
In the final analysis, il seems to us that
the best way TO insure a favorable labor
press would be for industry to establish
and maintain harmonious labor relations.

Two Policies

England under control of the Labor
Party presents the strange paradox OF pur-
suing one policy at home and an entirely
opposite policy in her foreign relations.
While plans proceed for the sOcializa-
ton of basic British industries and the
Bank of England nothing has been done
to ease the situation for the Jews in Pal
astine, and India still is chained to the I'M
periaIism which has continuously marked
England's rule of that unhappy country.
Basically, no change has occurred in the
foreign policy of the English government.
Whether under the Tory Churchill or the
Labor Government headed by Clement At
lee. England policy in her world relations
remains virtually the same.
In the face of the very obvious similar
itv between ChurchilPs Government and
that of Atees Labor Government in deal
ings outside England, the letter which
President X. J. Thomas of the United Auto
mobile Workers-CIO sent to Mr.. Atlee
seeking his Intervention in the General
Motors strike will probably receive no
more attention than it would have re-
ceived had it ben sent to Winston
Churchill.
We do not presume to criticize PreSi-
dent Thomas for his action. In fact, we
think il was both timely and enlightening;
but we have no more hope of satisfactory
answer or favorable action than we would
have had if the UAW- CIO head had asked
Mr.. Atlee to liberate the Indians and give
them home rule.
MIR. Atlee will be polite and give Presi-
dent Thomas many impressive reasons
why the British government cannot inter
vene, including the one given by the
corporation itself when it said that not
even the stockholders were permitted to
scrutnize the corporations books.
In the end, the Auto Workers will dis
cover what all of the nations of the
world have known for many years-Eng-
lands domestic policy and her policy in
dealing with other nations are two sepa-
rate and distinct policies and never the
twain shall meet
To paraphraSe the song of the war,
"There will always be an Eng gland,
England will always be England, be it
Tory, Labor, Liberal or any other party's
administration.
If India and the Jews don't stand
chance of changing the foreign outlook of
the British Labor government, what
chance have the Auto Workers?

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW-CIO

AS we draw toward the close Of the year
1945, would like to point out the remaining
activities the part of Local II for this
year and the opening activities of the coming
year.
concerted effort is being made to have
one of the best Christmas Parties for the kid
dies that we have ever produced 1t is to be
held at the Civic Auditorium on the afternoon
of Sunday, December 23rd 1945 l spoke con-
sderably of this in a recent article and want
to again emphasize that everyone should try
to have their children at this party 1t will,
also, be appreciated if all of the Flying Squad
ron members from all of the Local No. II
shops will be at the auditorium Sunday
morning of December 23rd to help with the
work of arranging the party for the children
in the afternoon.
STEWART BANQUET
Starting after the holidays arrangements
will be made for our Second Annual Shop
Chairmen and Stewards Banquet. Last year
this program was initiated and proved to be a
good time for all attending, as well as a sue
ceSsful get-acquainted gathering for the unit
officers of the various units of Local No. II.
AS you know, if you attended last years
party, the local union pays half of all of the
cost then it remains for the shop unit to pay
the remaining fifty per cent or for the various
shop committeeman or stewards to individu-
ally pay fifty per cent of their ticket. This
banquet will not necessarily be reserved for
Just stewards and committeeman, but anyone
desiring may bring their wife or husband.
The time and place will be selected at the
shop committeeman and stewards meeting in
Local No. IL headquarters and arrangements
will be made to have the banquet sometime in
early spring. 1t would certainly be appre-
cated if each shop would prepare now to have
its delegates at the shop committeeman and
stewards meetings and to furnish them with
ideas TO advance at these meetings for the sue
cessful planning of the Second Annual Shop
Committeeman and Stewards Banquet
Since it would be humanity impossible for
me to see each of the members of Local No. IL
or to attend all of the meetings, would like
at this time to extend A Very Merry Christ
mas to all members of Local No. II, their fam
lilies friends and neighbors. May your Christ
mas be a real celebration of Peace on Earth
and Good Will Toward Men.

Regional
Views
By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW,CIO

Last year at Christmas time, our thoughts
turned to our boys in the service with the wish
that the war would soon be ended and that
Peace On Earth Good Will to Men could be-
come true in fact and not merely Wishful think
ing.
This year, the war is over Thousands Of
our boys have returned to us and have put on
their civilian clothing and gone out in a search
for jobs which in many cases have proved
fruitless. n
This year international warfare has been
replaced by industrial warfare in which the
corporations of America seeking to maintain
in peacetime the same high profits which they
made in wartime, refusing to grant wage
increases to the workers and take the position
that their profits are none of the Unions or
workers business.
Peace on earth must mean more than few
words which we send to each other each year
on printed cards. Peace on Earth to Men of
Good Will is a clear expression of what we
must approach if industrial peace is to be
established and maintained.
Labor relations must reach the point where
men of labor and management can conduct
their negotiations across the conference table,
calmly and senSibly, each dealing with the
other in good faith and the desire to establish
peaceful relations.
STRIFE AND PEACE
There who have not yet accepted
the conference table as the means of settling
industrial disputes and who are willing to see
the nation torn by industrial strife No doubt
these people are sending out their Christmas
cards in the spirit of the season wishing their
friends and associates Christmas Greetings"
But the true spirit of Christmas is not kept
unless the same feeling of good will which
marks Christmas is kept throughout the en-
tire year We cannot accept the sincerity of
those who wish us the greetings of this season
of the year, because they are unwilling to deal
justly with the workers and their organiza-
ton.
SEASONS GREETINGS
Despite the difficulties of the times when
we are trying to make our adjustments to the
postwar changes, there is still room for the
hope that out of the present unrest and dissat-
1sfaction will come the peace to which all men
regardless of their economic standing, turn
their minds at this season of the year.
In this belief, and because human nature
does seem to turn to the finer things at least
during this one season in the year, l extend
my sincere best wishes to all the officers and
members of the Local Unions throughout
Region 2-B, to all my fellow CIO members in
and out of Toledo, to our friends in the AFL
and many of those outside the labor movement
spirit.
We are happy that the war is over and look
forward to 1946 with the feeling that peace
can come to this country if men will sit down
at the conference table in spirit of Justice
and fair play to discuss their problems and
seek a reasonable solution

SEZ HE

THE underlying fact is-to put It bluntly-
that in reaction against the consequences Of
excess employment there is a patent desire in
the great middlcs mass of the people for
enought unemployment 20 reestablish their lost
bargaining position and TO restore industrial
discipline. This reaction is particularly strong
OF course, wherever the war has changed the
relative bargaining power Of Negro and other
racial minorltes The attitude OF employ
ers is in substance that they must not and
need not make bad bargains now since they
will be able TO make better bargains later on.
For little later on, there will be more men
than there are jobs, and there will also be no
more price ceilings

Man. This season is a good
time TO take stock of the situ-
alton and see if we are any
nearer to the concepts taught
by Him whose birthday we
celebrate on Christmas.
This Christmas finds nego-
tiations for world peace in a
delicate state; and labor and
industry engaged in struggle
to determine the future wage
pattern.
FASCISM DEFEATED
We can say quite safely that
since last Christmas the fascist
world military organization
has been defeated. | would
like to say destroyed, but
whether or not this is true
remains to be seen. 1t is not
possible to destroy a plant or
an organization and leave the
roots alive. There is some
question as to whether the
roots Of world fascism have
been destroyed. In any case
the soil is very fertile for a
regrowth of the Fascist men
ace.
Hitler, Mussolini and the in
ternational angste are
neither ruling nor threatening
the world at present. This
fact alone is enough to justify
rejoicing, but we would be
able to celebrate with more
enthusiasm il there were some
indications that the social con-
ditions which give rise to mill
tary dictators would soon be
eradicated. These social condi-
tions consist of want in the
midst of plenty and a disre-
gard of the welfare of the
plain people by the powers
that be.
IDEAL
II the ideal OF peace on
Earth and Goodwill Toward
Man" Is to be anything more
than a hollow phrase, steps
must be taken TO put into
effect the following program.
1. A WORLD FEDERATION
OF NATIONS, WITH EFFEC-
TIVE EXECUTIVE, LEGIS-
LATIVE, AND JUDICIARY
ORANGES.
2. A FULL EMPLOYMENT
PROGRAM TO GUARANTEE
JOBS AT LIVING WAGES
FOR ALL.
TO attempt to achieve or en-
force world peace on any
other basis than this, is to at
tempt compromises which will
inevitably result in chaos and
warfare. We have succeeded
in defeating the faScists on the
military front. 1t now remains
to achieve complete victory
by establishing a program for
world peace and full employ
ment. The road toward this
goal Is hard and rocky. Yet
the cost of failure will be ter
rifle.
There are two ways in
which all can help. Be active
in your Union and join the
PAC. The Union and the PAC
can (if properly supported by
a large and active member
ship play big part in bring
ing about state of affairs
which can give concrete exis-
tance and real meaning to the
theme of the Christmas spirit;
Peace On Earth, Goodwill
Toward Man.
This is the last column be-
fore Christmas, and l wish a
Merry Christmas to one and
all.

This Christmas will be the
first peacetime Christmas for
the United States in five
years. This Christmas will not
be marred by anxiety over
who might be on the casualty
lists, yet, we are facing prob
lens, as urgent and as need
full of solution as any we
faced during the war. The fol-

Can the precarious peace (if
it can be called peace) be

viii there be enough jobs?
Will wages be high enough to
insure a good standard of liv-

the most urgent.
