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

The Blood Donors Club of Local No. IL
is accepted, now days, by large portion
of our Membership matter of fact 1t Is
considered a service which the Union nor
mally has upon being organized. This, how.
ever is not the case. l remember very dis
tinctIy, quite a number of years ago. when
Brother Thomas Burke talked at considerable
length on the Local Union floor fer the estab-
lishment of the Local No. IL Blood Donors
Club. Brother Richard Gosser and others lent
support toward passing motion on the Local
Union floor to form this Club for the benefit
of members and their immediate families. II
probably has done more good in humani-
tartan way for our Membership than any OF
the other activities in which we have been
engaged.
It is because of recent letter, part of
which l would like to quote as follows, that
I would like to bring this Local No. IL func-
ton to the attention of all of our Member
ship:
"Once, again. a most humble re-
cipient of your generosity. l wish to pay my
most sincere thanks to those who responded
to the call for Donors. My second request was
acknowledged promptly as the first which
only proves your sincerity. To one who has
been so i'll the appreciation that l have for
your kindness seems very little on my part,
so again thanks l shall always be one of your
most humble and ardent admirers and pro-
moters for the good of your Organization"
Each member is sincerely invited TO call
upon the help of this Club whenever needed.
The expense is borne by the Local Union
From time to time it is necessary that we
replenish the names and lists of the contri-
butors When our next call is put out through
the Shops for people to register as Blood
Donors, there could be no better method of
showing your sincerity toward your fellow
members and your Organization than for you,
yourself to volunteer to become a Blood
Donor in the Local No. II Blood Donors Club.
In the last two years, know it to be
fact that there has never been week passed
but what members of our Blood Donors Club
has been called upon and though the facts
and figures will never be known | am sure
that in this same period of time, there have
been many, many lives saved because of this
activity.
want to again solicit and encourage your
use and cooperation of this facility which has
become such an integral part of Local No. IL.

New!

THREE BOYS

THREE BOYS
Twenty-nine months ago
set about the task of organiz-
ing small shop of ESQ en-
ployes who needed a union
and needed it badly.
Lots of water has flown un-
der the bridge in the past two
and-one-half years since first
became acquainted with the
workers at the Swartzbaugh
Co., and some litter struggling
took place before these folks
received wage increases, back
pay and decent working con-
ditions.
In the course of this struggle
| became acquainted with the
finest bunch of men and
women you'd ever want TO
meet. Yes, ! knew just about
every one of them and knew
them well.
THREE YOUNG MEN
Our executive committee
roster carried the names of
three young men who, in d
short time, became personal
friends of mine. Folks in the
plant will tell you a finer
combination of workers rep
resentatives never existed
anywhere, and they're right.
You've seen the names in
the stories which told you of
the trials and tribulations of
the Swartzbaugh Unit when
King Swartzbaugh was riding
the high wave and endeavor-
ing in every way possible to
frustrate the workers in their
attempt TO get the most out
of collective bargaining -
Chairman Chet Glazer, Com
mitteemen Carl Jahns and Ell
more Tressler.
The workers had a right to
be proud of these boys-they
were fighters who couldn't be
bought out nor scared by any
amount of bluster.
But they're not in the plant
today.
Carl Jahns is gone. Carl
passed away several weeks
ago of peritonitis, following an
appendicitis attack. It is hard
to believe that Carl is dead.
Carl was an animated fellow
when we knew him. He could
talk faster than anyone you've
ever seen, and he was always
happy and excited, it seemed.
His pep and sense of humor
were boundless.
l could not help but recall
the pleasant times we had to-
gether.
IN THE SERVICE
Chet Glazer is gone too. I
received a letter from him
yesterday. He's about to un-
dergo the third operation in
four months in order to re-
move shrapnel from his hip
shrapnel delivered by German
soldiers while Chet was fight
ing on German soil last Nov.
IA. But Chet will be back
soon, and will be even better
man than he was before.
Yes, Elmore Tressler's gone
too. He's somewhere in or
near China, according to lat
est reports. He's been in Asia
for many months, carrying on
a different kind of fight than
he had to carry on couple
of years ago. At least, the
methods are different, if not
the principle.
They say Elmore Tressler
was the first pre-Pearl Harbor
father in the State of Michi-
gan to be drafted into the
Army. At any rate he didn't
last long as committeeman.
And so things have changed
for the Swartzbaugh Unit be-
cause of the war. They will
change again, and for the
better when peace comes
again. In the meantime, the
spirit of the Unit has inn
proved and l can truly say
that is one of the best in Lo-
cal IL.

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

When member of the international UAW-
CIO Board assumes his obligation, he pledges
to uphold the International Union Constitu-
ton.
Included in the Constitution which the
regional directors are sworn to uphold and de-
fend is the second section of Article q which
states the objective of the union as follows:
To Unite in one organization, regardless of
religion, race, creed color, political affiliation
or nationality, all employees under the juris-
diction of the International Union
This section is the members guarantee that
there shall not only be no discrimination be-
cause of religion, race creed color, political
affiliation or nationality, but that whenever
intolerance and discrimination does arise that
the regional director shall take action to re-
move the condition and remedy the situation.
PROGRESS
1 realize that there are, in and out of our
union, people who are attempting to use the
present war situation to stir up unrest and dis
satisfaction among minority groups, particular
ly the Negroes, but also know that Toledo has
less intolerance than most of the regions in the
International and that the rights of the minor
ity groups have been protected defended and
advanced despite any and all claims to the
contrary.
There are in every group certain self
seeking, unscrupulous people who in their
anxiety to advance their own personal cause
stoop to any means to accomplish their ends
Even in minority groups which should be
strongly united, we discover opportunists who
use demag gogic and unprincipled methods to
stir up and divide their group and by these
means advance themselves in leadership.
Certain types of publicity vicious personal
attacks and other means are used by some
minority dema gogues to foment trouble Vhich
is based not upon facts, but upon the wish of
such individuals to use their group to further
their own purposes.
ANTI-DIS ELIMINATION
Under the UAW-CIO, discrimination be-
cause of race, color, or creed has been fought
as it was never fought before, and minority
groups have had their rights protected on q
scale never before attained. In spite of these
gains, there still few who seem to be-
lieve that perfection should be achieved over
night.
Our Union has done more in Toledo to ell
inmate discrimination and intolerance than
was accomplished in the entire history of this
city up to the time of the Auto Workers /
cannot believe that efforts to create confusion
and i'll will on the part of few people
is going to be allowed to destroy what the
union and minority groups have cooperated
in building.

 AIaskans Are Back
Couple Come North Again, Using Old Method to
 Decide Spot

CORDOVA, Alaska, March D. Cordova now has a pair of new residents who, up to the time their boat docked here, had no idea they would ever settle in Cordova, but now premise to be among Cordova's leading citizens.
 They are Mir and Mrs. s. M. Hall. recently of San Diego, Cali fornia, and former residents of Ketchikan and Sitka.
 2 Tired of the Outside, they decided to return to Alaska, using the age old method of closing their eyes and pointing to spot on the map. Valdez was the spot chosen, and tickets were purchased for that destination, but Cordova made such an impression they decided to re- main here.
 Even the housing shortage did not discourage them from remain ing, so they invested in a piece of real estate in the business district and are in Cordova to stay.

The OAR. Auditorium

In barring the use OF their Con-
stitution Hall to the pianist, Ha-
eel Scott, for a recital because she
is colored, the Daughters of the
American Revolution again dem
onstrated that they have learned
nothing from the Revolution nor
from the storm of adverse criti-
cism which descended upon their
naughty heads when they barred
Marian Anderson for the same
reason several years ago.
Their contention is that Consti-
tuition Hall in Washington, D. c.,
Is private institution whose own
ers have the right to choose to
whom 1t shall be rented and that
the custom in Washington is to
bar Negroes from white" places.
Their action would be indefen-
sible even If Constitution Hall were
a private auditorium. but 1t is a

Incorporation for the purpose of
