Anti-Strike


. WASHINGTON, June 9th
(LPA) The Smith-Connally
F. "anti-strike" law, which or
ganized labor repeatedly told
Congress would produce far
more strikes than it would pre-
vent, has done exactly that, gov
. ernment officials now admit.
The act, which provi e S,
. among other things, for a 30-day
= "cooling-off period" after a
strike vote is taken, is now called
"preposterous, futile and harm
full" even by such conservative
newspaper as the N. Y. Times
= (June 19.) Other papers have
characterized it as "the most as
SHINE piece of labor legislation
ever put on the books"
Anti-labor m p oyer who
were originally enthused about
the law are now wishing some
Congressman would stand up
and demand its repeal.
Cripples NLRB
- One of the most unfortunate
effects on labor of the Smith
.Connally act has not, however,
been publicized. 1t is tending to
cripple if not wreck the Natl.
Labor Relations Board. Already
the NLRB is facing a 100000
-cut in its funds as the result of
action by the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
Here are the comparative fig
..ures, taken from NLRB records,
of the number eligible to vote in
the strike polls taken for the
first five months of 1914 and
'l945:

GOsser Thanks Committee
Richard Gosser, chairman of
the Memorial Committee, and
Tom Burke expressed their
thanks for the interest and
enthusiasm shown during the
campaign. "The re remarkable
showing of the shops in this
drive has been a real rev.
elation to me, and shows that our
people are genuinely interested
in the fine work which is being
done for the children at the Grip
pied children's home," said Mr..
Gosser.
1--WE have never received a
better or more spontaneous re-
sponse to any other project at
tempted than that which has
marked this drive" said Mr..
Burke.
Turn In Containers
Containers were turned in to
the Toledo Industrial Union
Council headquarters, Gil Huron
St., and the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL office, 425 Winthrop
st. Mr.. Burke requested that out
standing containers be turned in
to either office, which ever is
most convenient to the Local
unions and units.
An accounting of the fund will
be made in about two weeks, ac-
cording to Walter Madrzykowski,
treasurer of the Memorial Com
mittee.

1914

This increase of more than
1300%o for the first five months
alone has not yet been figured in
terms of dollars-and-cents cost to
the NLRB and to the American
taxpayers. However, one thing
is known; the expense of these
strike votes has already bitten
so deeply into NLRB's appro-
priation that the agency has had
to curtail much of its work and
lay off more than 130 of its
employees.
The bill was passed over the
vigorous objections of President
Roosevelt who echoed labor's ar
guments that its effects would be
those apparent today.

ACWA Benefits Tipped

NEW YORK (LPA)-An in
crease in capital stock from
100000 to 100000 has been
directed by the board of the in
surance fund of the Amalgamat-
ed Clothing Workers of America
CIO. The Increase is based upon
the recent Inclusion of 100000
cotton garment and neckwear
workers, not eviously covered,
in the ACWA's agreements. En-
ployers pay 2 per cent of payroll
into the benefit fund. Workers
receive health, death, maternity
and other insurance. 4

composed of memDera of the Ma

clared that ITO permit these

insult to the nation and to the
memory of our shipmates and all

.Anti-Labor
Laws Faced

major proportion of Americas
organized workers. Such con-
tracts would be legal only if
the union had been selected by
rs per cent of the employees in
the bargaining unit, and only if
60 per cent actually ratified
the "union shop" Various other
tests would also have to be met
before such contracts would be
valid.
6. 1t would create a paradise
for anti-labor bosses anxious to
smash unions, by subjecting
workers and unions to prosecu-
ton for violating any of a set
of IL listed unfair labor prac-
tees" These unfair practices
would include, among others,
discriminating against employ
er representatives; participating
in any strike, showdown, or sit
down; infringing in any way on
terms of an agreement; Undue
ing or coercing" non-members
to join union under threat of
discrimination; "interrupting"
or delaying" work to force adj
iustment of grievances, and a
host of other such conditions.
Authorizes Law Suits
Z. 1t would authorize suits for
damages against unions and
their workers.
8. 1t would permit the out
lawing of any union which vio-
lated provisions of that law.
8. 1t would open the way to
levy of heavy fines and imposi-
ton of Jail terms for unionists
who defy injunctions or other
court orders obtained under the
laws procedures.
10. 1t would deprive millions
of workers in small firms
those with 20 or less employees
from rights now guaranteed
by the Wagner Act.
The bill contains myriad of
other restrictions, besides set
ting up a new super" board
and a network of lesser boards
that would fulfill the widest
dreams of case-hardened bu-
reucrats."
Unions Oppose Measure
All labor organizations united
against the measure in an i'm
pressive show of unity.
President Philip Murray of
the CIO characterized it blunt
ly as "bill to enslave labor"
and added that it was 'bald-
faced attempt to destroy unions
and nullify the basic constitu-
tional rights of workers which
only after long years of strug-
gle finally have been recog-
nized."
President William Green of |
the AFL denounced the propo.s
sal as a "straitjacket for labor"
and "anti-democratic." He said |
it would transform the Wagner
Act into IAN instrument of la
Dor oppression" and establish
rigid government regimenta-
ton"
President John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers called
it a ripper bill which would
decapitate and rape the Wagner
Act, the Norris-LaGuardia anti
injunction act and regiment
American workers through the
medium of compulsory arbitra-
tion."
Sponsor Claim Pattern
Sponsors of the bill claimed
that it was patterned after the
Railway Labor Act, but lead
ers of the Railroad Brother
hoods riddled that claim.
Senatorial hackers of the
measure claimed it would es-
tablish industrial peace after
the war-but if so, that would
be accomplished by enslaving
workers on the totalitarian pat
tern, labor spokesmen said.
The bill was referred to
Senate Education and Labor
Committee for hearings, but in
view of the united labor opposi-
ion, it was generally agreed

Political
Action
PRICE CONTROL

PRICE CONTROL
One of the principles of
the CIO-PAC is to keep the
cost of living in line with the
wages of the workers. So far
in this war fair job has
done in holding prices of con-
sumers' goods in line. The cost
of living is in excess of the
workers wages, but not
nearly as much as it would
have been were it not for
price control.
1t was after the last war,
even more than during this
war, that prices scared sky
high.
The monied interests and
their spokesmen in Congress
are waging fight to liquidate
price control. If this effort
succeeds it will be equal to a
terrific wage slash for the
American wage earners. 1t is
the responsibility of all of us
to see that adequate price
control measures are enacted
and enforced. Each of us
should sit down RIGHT NOW
and write to u. S. Senators
Harold Burton and Robert
Taft and Congressman Homer
Ramey and George Bender
and urge support for adequate
price control measures. These
legislators should be bonn
barded with letters from our
people. THE TIME TO ACT
is NOW.
PR ELIMINATION
The Toledo PAC is now in
the midst of the campaign to
secure 1880 valid signatures
to put our proposal for the
elimination of Proportional
Representation on the ballot
this fall. Our plan calls for
keeping the nine man city
council and city manager plan
intact, but abolishing the pro-
portional representation sys-
tenn of electing city council
men and replacing it with a
method under which the
voter places an X beside the
names of nine candidates.
The nine candidates receiving
the largest number of votes
are declared elected.
Under this plan each voter
gets to express his choice for
all nine posts. Whereas under
p. r. the voter, to all intents
and purposes, only gets one
vote for one post of the nine
vacancies.
Under P. r. any given can
didate who is sure of the sup
port of 1919 of the voters is
as good as elected. Our plan
will result in having the can
didates elected whom the
MAJORITY of the people
want elected, August 9th is
the deadline for filing these
petitions. IL you haven't
signed one yet do so soon.
If you have the time and
contacts, please come to our
office and secure a petition to
be filled out.

BEAUTIES HINTS Vary Heel Sizes
 For Supple Feet
BY ALICIA HART

If the shoe fits wear 1t. SqueeZ- ing feet into shoes a half size too small is asking for trouble. Your feet will stand only so much abuse and then they start to protest painfully. And your face and dis position reflect their troubles.
 Feet can be kept soothed and happy in shoes that fit close to the heel and yet allow room across the ball of the foot for the toes to wiggle around comfortably. Un- slightly and rlisshappen toes are frequently the result of being jammed against the end of your shoe.
 Common sense should dictate the height of the heel you choose. A walking shoe should have a low bread heel, while a dainty party slipper may sport skyscraper heel. Varying the heel heights with the occasion helps to keep the leg muscles stretched and supple.
 And never, never make the mis- take of wearing just an old rum down-at- -the-heels pair of slippers around the house. It's just as i'm portant to have them give you proper support and comfort as your street shoes.
