Job Bill
Is Killed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (LPA)
The full employment bill that
organized labor had hoped for
and that President Truman had
listed as must" legislation may
never even reach his desk.
Supporters of the bill-which
has been completely wrecked in
the House Expenditures Com
mittee-now fear that it may
be abandoned altogether.
The legislation scheduled to
come out of the House Commit
tee bears no resemblance to
what was originally advocated
by all sections of organized Ia
Dor. In a closed session the
committee headed by Rep.
Manasco 3D., Ala.) last week
completely rejected the Admin
iStration-sponsored bill and went
to work on a substitute. The
committee vote against the orig
inal bill was II to 8.
Even the title of the bill has
been altered from "full employ
ment' to vague phrasing
about "high levels" of employ
ment. AS rewritten the legisla-
tion now offers no assurance of
government responsibility to
provide jobs when private en-
terprise fails. A desperate last
moment attempt to revive the
original bill was defeated with
only three Congressman in fa-
vor, Rep. Charles LaFollette
(R., Ind), George Bender (R.,
Ohio), and Edward j. Hart 3D.,

ers in this region.
Director Gosser in welcom-
ing the conference to Toledo
talked of the many activities of
the Union and discussed the
struggle of the Union to secure
increased wages for the work
ers.
Concluding his talk, Mr.. Co
ser said, "the future of the labor
movement rests in political ac-
ton. A few men in Congress
could do what we are now at
tempting to do upon the picket
lines of the General Motors Cor
poration."
Urges PAC Membership
The UAW head urged the
women not only to become
members of the Political Action
Committee, but asked them to
take a special interest in the
organization. He pointed out
that there were many things
that women could do to advance
the political fortunes of the
workers and asked them to turn
their attention to this special
work.

A second reason came with
the statement by Wilson that
if GIN made a new offer it
would be less than the 10%
proposed by the company be-
fore the strike began. The United
Auto Workers-CIO, which has
demanded a 30% pay raise or
else proof by the corporation
that it cannot afford it, streng-
thened its picket lines from Har-
rison, n. j., to Los Angeles, in
preparation for showdown
with the worlds richest corpo-
ration.

Strikers
Sticking

General Motors workers in
Toledo, members of the Chew
rolet Unit of Local IA, United
Automobile Workers-CIO, or
strike for the past two weeks
let it be known in no uncertain
terms that they are sticking for
the 80 per cent wage restora-
ton asked for by their Union
in a special meeting held at the
Islington st. headquarters on
Monday night of this week.
After listening to their chair
man, Michael Smythe outline
the plans for the balance of the
weeks, the strikers showed their
spirit by considering plans to
place spot announcements over
local radio stations to combat
those Which are being put on
the air by the General Motors
Corporation.
Smythe To Speak
Chairman Smythe announced
that he had been invited to
speak Thursday evening, of this
week over Labor Views and
News, the weekly CIO radio
program broadcast each Thurs
day night over radio station
WTOL at 7:30 p. m.
Ollie Pecord, managing editor
of the TOLEDO UNION JOUR-
NAL spoke and told the strikers
of the importance of political
action. He said that the anti
labor legislation which was now
pending in Congress, as we'll as
the unsatisfactory Ohio IN
employment Compensa ton
Act had been written by men
who had been elected to office
by many of those who were now
on strike.
Urges Political Action
Urging the workers to take
| political action as one Of the
major means of solving their
economic problems, Pecord said
that the workers should become
members of the PAC and or
ganize a committee to spread
the organization throughout their
Unit and Local. Political ac-
tion is your weapon. Use it" he
said.
Picket lines have been aug
mented by workers from many
plants of Local IL.
A report from the welfare
committee indicated that much
additional help was needed to
maintain the workers kitchen
which is feeding those who do
picket duty. Members were
asked to warn merchants not to
give any funds to anyone unless
they had a letter of identified
ton and credentials from the
strike committee, after it was
reported that some persons had
