From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President.
Local IL, UAW-ClO

want to take this means of, personally,
thanking the Membership of Local No. IL at
the Auto-Lite Plants for having desired to re-
main part of Local No. IL and 1 am quite
sure for having expressed a determination that
from here on they will become more active
in their aid to the many smaller Units of the
Local and in helping to build our Organization
bigger and better.
1t is my sincere desire that the rank and
file membership will attend your Auto-Lite
Unit meetings with feverish desire to ad-
vance sound program for the best interest of
everyone in your plant Certainly, the people
at Auto-Lite are long overdue in obtaining
sizeable wage increase from an Incorporation
which is perhaps one of the wealthiest in our
Community. Local No. IL looks to the newly
activized members of the Auto-Lite to see that
cooperation does take place between the Unit
and the Local on full scale and to see that
the Local is not merely the excuse for some
ones failing to put forth proper effort.
Normal procedure as it has been known in
Local No IL for these many years calls for
the Unit Membership to take action in their
Unit meeting instructing their elected repre-
sentative to bargain with the Management for
your request. If no results are accomplished
by your Committee, request should then be
forwarded to Local No. II l assure you that
our best efforts will be put forth to obtain the
benefits you are deserving of and desire.
Should the war end and it be situation IN
which the financial backing and moral sup
port of Local No. IL is needle in your argu-
ments with your Company, you shall have 1t.
| know of no better way for the membership
of the Auto-Lite Unit of Local No. IL to re-
ceive the benefits of Local No. IL then that
which l have expressed here 1t only remains
to have all of your Officers, Committees and
Representatives work in close cooperation
with the Officers, Committees, and Representa-
of Local No. II, in order that your aims can
be achieved.
The question which has just been settled
at your plant, think, is evidence and proof
enough that within the U.A.W.-CIO. we have
real Democracy and that the majority are
given the opportunity of determining the
course which any group of people are to fol-
low. This Democracy is known in no other
Union in our Country. 1t is up to all of us to
preserve it, Only the active participation of all
Union minded people can see us through the
trying days of the postwar period.

Director Region 2B, UAW.ClO

The war is over and all of us are glad that
at last there will be an end to the bloodshed
and honors which has marked the past years.
We of the labor movement are looking for
ward to peace, for war never has, nor never
will be good thing for those who work for a
living We are anxious to return to the days
of peace in which we can seek to gain the
things for which we have been seeking and
move forward to greater security in world
of peace.
1t is too early to tell just what is going to
happen in the next few months, because we
do not know what Congress is going to do or
what the President may have in mind. The
only thing about which we are certain is that
we must move quickly to resume peacetime
production and not permit the sudden coming
of peace to bring about major depression.
WORKERS CONCERNED
Workers who have been greatly instru-
mental in bringing the war to its victorious
ending are greatly concerned over what is now
going to take place. For the past "A months
they have worked long hard hours making the
instruments of warfare to destroy our enemies,
their cities, transportation systems and indus
trial plants. They want to produce as
fully for peace and all the things that 60 with
it as they did for war.
For the past A months the people of this
nation have cooperated in the greatest single
production effort in the history of the world.
By their cooperation they not only brought
about the miracle OF production needed to save
this country but armed our allies and gave
them the things they required to defeat the
Italians and Germans, and now the Japs.
What was done for war must be done for
peace.
OUR FUTURE
1t is the feeling of the leadership of the
unions that what happens to the peace is going
to depend upon what occurs to labor here and
elsewhere. If the workers are provided with
Jobs, living wages, increased benefits and Sc
curity this will become happier world than
it ever was before.
If the people of this and other countries
are victims of periodic depressions, mass un-
employment and want in the midst of a world
of plenty, we can expect further wars, and,
with the discovery of the atomic bomb, pos
sible destruction of whole nations
It appears to me that must move as
quickly now that we face the reality of peace
as we did when the war was thrust upon us.
We have another emergency, this time peace
emergency which we must meet and solve in
order to secure the peace which we have at
last won. at nih 4aesHtt str1t
Our people have earned the things for
which they ask. They have fought good
battle and they deserve and must have the
fruits of victory-jobs for all at high wages,
and the opportunity to live in a decent and
more secure world.

The
Beam

Let me be one of the first
to utter thanks that the British
Labor Party took over in Eng
land before we uncovered the
atomic bomb.
According to the scanty in
formation released by the au-
thorities, American and British
scientists toiled together to un-
lock this miracle of our time,
and we must ass-----e that the
secret formula for unleashing
atomic power is held jointly
by the two countries.
Had Churchill and the Tor
les stayed in power in England,
the control of this terrible
weapon would have been
placed in the hands of two
countries in which the power
of government was held large
ly by capitalist-minded politi-
clans.
If this had happened, l
would not have cared to wager
a dime on democracy's chance
of survival in the postwar
world.

" FROM THE RANKS :
Washington
LaborReport
By Bradford V. Garter,
LPA CoIumnist
RUMORS & WPB

NJ NuOItO q WFb
AS this column is being
written Washington is a hot
house of rumors on the inn
minent end of the japanese
War. The way in which of
ficial Washington responds to
a situation of great urgency is
typified in the fact that on the
day which the end of the war
may come, it has just gotten
around to announcing a policy
on reconVersion.
Probably because the Mead
Committee had some caustic
things to say about the lack
of progress in reconversion,
President Truman issued
five-point program for the in
struction of the War Produc-
ton Board, Underlying the
Truman policy statement is
also a running controversy
between Price Administrator
BoWles and WPB Chairman
Krug.
Bowles felt that WPB con-
trolls of one kind or another
were indispensable to the
maintenance of the price stab
ilization program. Krug want
ed to get rid of WPB controls
without reference to prices,
wages or anything else,
One thing is clear-and that
is that the President of the
United States wants the WPB
to assume some responsibility
in easing the economy back
to a peacetime footing. Ever
since Krug displaced Donald
Nelson, there has been an in
creasing apprehension on the
part of labor that the current
WPB chairman was inordi-
nately anxious to end controls
irrespective of the effect of
this policy on the transition
to a peacetime economy.
OPPOSE CONTROLS
Considering the fact that
WPB topside is opposed to
government controls after VI
day, considerable doubt is in
order about the enthusiasm
which will be demonstrated in
carrying through the Presi-
dents policies. The story cir
culating in Washington circles
is that Krug is peeved at the
fact that he was not made di-
rector of the Office of War
Mobilization and Reconversion
to replace Fred Vinson. And
that this accounts for his cur
rent GOODNESS to the idea of
WPB's positive role in recon
version.
The Presidents letter to
Krug does not spell out in
great detail the kinds of things
which WPB can do. Labor
people in Washington, how
ever are clear in their own
minds what the function of
WPB can be.
In the first place, labor feels
that the WPB authority to
grant priorities and ALLEGATIONS
should be used to prevent un-
employment in the places
where it is likely to hit the
hardest.
Second, labor feels that
WPB should use its authority
to assist in the acquisition of
bottleneck items, where such
items are holding up full util-
ization of facilities and man
power in particular plants.
For example, here is a refrig-
orator manufacturer who is
being held up because he can't
get fractional horSepowers
motors. The WPB in this case,
it is proposed, should step in
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1945-08-17

and order a manufacturer of
fractional horsepower motors
to give precedence to this or
der over the order, say, of a
producer of pari-mutuel ma
chimes for the race tracks.
WPB AUTHORITY
WPB can use its authority
in still another connection. 1t
can prevent the big boys from
hogging up the supply of short
items such as sheet steel, by
virtue of their superior finan-
cial position.
Finally, WPB controls must
be meshed in with price stab
ilization needs which is what
Mr.. Bowles has been talking
about.

PUSHED TOWARD
IMPERIALISM

A substantial section of the
banking and manufacturing
fraternity in this country have
been pushing America in the
direction of imperialism dur
ing this war.
They are the boys who have
insisted most loudly that the
u. S. must keep the far-flung
aviation and naval bases built
during the war. They have per-
sistently demanded the demo-
lition of German industrial
power. And they have quietly
but firmly backed the cam
paign for peace-time conscrip-
tion of American youth.
Finally, these are the same
boys who are sabotaging the
demand for full employment,
and offering, as counter-pro-
posal, the idea that we can
attain prosperity through the
medium of an expanded for
eign trade.
SINGLE PURPOSE
The single purpose behind
all this was, and is, the de-
termination of the big-time
capitalist clique in this coun
try to bail out their faltering
economic system through ex-
pansion of American foreign
trade under the protection of
u. S. military power.
That is why they wanted us
to keep our wartime military
bases in distant parts of the
world. That is why they want
ed German industry destroyed
so as to eliminate it as a
competitive factor in the post
war scramble for markets.
That is why they wanted
us to adopt peace-time mill
tary conscription, in order to
give them the power with
which to extend their COM
mercial invasion of the mar
kets of lesser nations.
In short, the whole scheme
was based on the notion that
the United States should use
its military power to under
write and guarantee the reap
ing of profits in global trade
controlled by American cap
italiSts.
TORY SYMPATHY
Of course, the British Tories
were deeply in sympathy with
this scheme. 1t fell right in
with the pattern they have
used for decades to bolster up
their own capitalist regime. In
company with their American
brethren of the counting
houses, the British capitalists
foresaW an era of Anglo
American domination of world
commerce, which they expect
ed to insure their profits for
a few more years.
We can thank our lucky
stars that the common people
of England had the courage
and the good sense to vote the
Labor Party into power, and
thus nip this imperialistic plot
in the bud.
With the British Labor Gov
ernment sharing control of the
atomic bomb, we have some
f., assurance that this diabolic
device will not be used to
bludgeon the rest of the world
into acceptance of the rule of
Anglo-American imperialism.

Whats
New!
With The
45th Infantry
in GERMANY
THEY WON'T TALK
By
Edward Duck

FRIEDBERG, Germany, Re-
turning servicemen are being
deluged with queries about
combat. Most of them either
shut up like clans or art
fully maneuver the conver-
sation to another subject. They
had enough "War talk" where
they were. 1t is something
they are trying to forget.
whats it like?" did
you kill any Germans?"
Were you very scared?" :.
did any shells land near
you? These are standard
questions which millions of
loved ones and friends are
everyday throwing at veterans
discharged on points or home
for thirty days before being
redemployed to the Pacific.
It's no sin to ask these ques-
tions. But if he doesn't answer
you Immediately and cheer
fully, don't persist. Many COM
bat men are hesitant to discuss
battle experiences because
they are trying to close the
pages of a book more eerie
than anything Edgar Allen
Poe ever conceived. Front line
combat is unpleasant beyond
all human understanding. 1t
is hell.
1t is not the exploding of
mortars and artillery, nor the
nearby of the sniper's bullet,
nor the rapid tattoo of a
camoflaged machine gun that
is recalled by the fellow who
relates his experiences. He re-
members more than that.
HE REMEMBERS
He remembers how dead
tired he was, how his stomach
felt after weeks of K-ration
meals, how his only clothes
were on his back, soaking wet
and worn for weeks at a
time. He remembers how his
feet were cold and numb, how
his fingers were almost frozen
to the point where he could
hardly pull the trigger of his
rifle. He remembers seeing
his comrades bleed and die in
the confusion of battle, often
times mistakenly fired upon
by his own buddies.
He remembers burning g
homes, screaming, hysterical
women and children, artillery
behind him and airplanes be-
fore him and above him. He
remembers that he hadn't slept
for three or four days, ex-
cepting two or three hours
spent in a cold barn.
He remembers all these
things in one composite re-
collection, and as he relates
his experiences you can watch
his eyes move quickly about
the room, listen to his words
come faster and faster, and his
voice become louder and more
excited. Each succeeding event
event is re-lived as he re-
counts the happenings so vivid
in his mind.
PREFERS SILENCE
This is why he may prefer
not to talk about it. Combat
is something you can discuss
for hours and hours, but never
realize just what it is like un-
less you are in it. To see
brave men 60 to pieces is not
pleasant sight, but this thing
which the late Ernie Pyle
called combat fatigue" can
make a tough soldier sob and
cry like a baby-and not be-
cause he's afraid to die, either.
The nervous system of the
human being will stand just
so much wear and tear. When
the breaking point is reached,
1t is beyond any control.
When wars bloody hand
reaches out for you, when you

"The great malady Of public life is coward

afraid Most of the errors of public life, il
my observation is to be trusted, come not be-
cause men are morally bad, but because they
are afraid of somebody. God knows why they
should be; it is generally shadows they are
afraid Of"

percentages were reversed-farmers getting

Few workers realize that organized labor

Labor released school program calling for
