Intolerance

Refusal of a Chicago hospital to admit
a Japanese-American girl in need of hos
pital care several days ago demonstrates
in an unmistakable manner the injustice
which can and frequently does arise be-
cause of intolerance and discrimination.
Although it is true that we are at war
with Japan, it does not mean that we
must permit our feelings of dislike
to carry to the point where we make the
innocent suffer along with the guilty. In
tolerance of this type does not belong in
the hospital field where the nurses are
taugh the ideals of Florence Nightingale
and the doctors swear the oath of the great
ancient physician, Hippocrates.
Evidence is accumulating that intoler-
ance and discrimination, which have been
combatted during this war, and to slight
extent retarded, are again on the increase.
What seemed like lessening of bigotry
probably was merely transferring large
measure of intolerance from its native tar
gets to the enemies of our country.
No group in this country has done
more to combat intolerance and discrimin-
alton born of racial and religious prejudice
than the labor unions. No other group has
sought to eliminate these evils as sim
cerely as the labor movement.
No enemy of democracy and unionism
is more powerful or more insidious in its
approach than the forces of Intolerance
which feed the fires of race, color and
creed prejudice and cater to the basest
sentiments of men.
Labor cannot and must not ever per-
init intolerance and discrimination to exist
in its ranks, for on enemy can wreck such
havoc as intolerance and racial and re-
ligious hatreds in the labor movement.
Because of these sentiments, which are
the feelings of the majority of the labor
movement, we condemn the rash act of
the Chicago hospital authorities who per-
mtted their intolerance to lead to an in
human act and earned for them the con-
tempt of all decent-minded people.

THE FUTURE


THE FUTURE
Labor has come long way in its fight for
security. but it still has long road to travel
before it can feel that its job is even nearing
the desired goal
Look at the immediate future and believe
me when tell you what is going to happen.
When the war in Europe ends, and it can't
last much longer, there will be thousands laid
off their jobs, the same jobs to which they
have been frozen and for which the govern
ment is now trying to pass work or fight
bill
Many more thousands will be cut down
to 40 hours work each week with a CORES
ponding cut in their pay checks. Think what
that is going to mean to people who are now
working A. so, 81 more hours each week.
Think what the loss of eight or ten hours
overtime will mean in the take home pay of
these thousands
OUR FIGHT
When these things come to pass, our fight
will be to see that wages are held up to the
point where we can all get decent wage and
a living based on the resources of the country.
Your fight, regardless of race, color creed
or sex is to fight with us to help hold the gains
which have come to US, which be lost
less we unite ourselves into one great and
The fight we must make in the future is
to see that we able to produce more we
can have our working hours cut and still make
enough to let US live as God intended we
should. That's your fight.
If there isn't enough work to 60 around,
the working hours must be reduced Methods
have been worked out during this war which
have increased the productivity of the work
ers. If there isn't enough work to keep us all
occupied, then the hours must be cut from
40 to 35. l don't care how much they cut
hours, the question is, work for all at a living
wage.
It would be foolish for men to work so
hours each week if they could produce enough
for all in 40 or 35 hours. This means that the
people who own the machines must be willing
to cut their profits so that the workers can
consume the things they produce.
These are the things for which we work.
These are the things for which we must pre-
pare to make fight. Man was not made
for the machine. The machine was made to
serve man that he might live in greater
abundance and enjoy the fuller life. To this
end we have dedicated ourselves through our
union.

Union Sfofion

Recommendation of Councilman Tom
Burke that the city form Terminal Cor
poration and allocate stock to the rail-
roads in the erection of union station is
one of the most sensible proposals yet
made to remedy situation which public
officials, the Chamber of Commerce and
the railroads have been kicking around
for years.
1t is obvious that the railroad which
owns the Union Station is satisfied and is
unwilling to do more than patch the roof,
maintain sanitary facilities and make
changes to appease, but not completely
satisfy the people of Toledo.
It's about time that some drastic action
was taken to rid ourselves of what Coun-
Gilman Burke appropriately terms 'the
old red barn., and to quit playing tag
with the railroad and utilities commission.
We can get new station and good one
by adopting the Burke proposal and work
ing for station. More action and less
talk is the answer Of our Union Station
problem.

Wartime Junkef

Trips of public officials which attract
little attention in time of peace, become
Objectionable iunkets in time of war when
they go on 5000-mile automobile jaunts
in the face of stringent gasoline rationing.
Members of the OPA Labor Advisory
Committee are to be congratulated for
their sharp criticism of the Lucas county
prosecuting attorney and sheriff for their
profligate use of gasoline to return three
prisoners to Toledo, an incident, which,
in the face of the severity of rationing for
war workers almost borders on the scan
dalous.
Despite the handicaps of war time
train travel, there never has been any in.
surmountable obstacles standing in the
way of transporting criminals from one
state to another. Such transportation was
available in the present instance and
should have been used.
War workers who have been forced to
submit to rigid rationing cannot feel too
happy when they observe their elected
public officials taking 500O-mile auto
mobile trip with stopovers en- route.
Both the prosecuting attorney and
sheriff may be efficient law officers, but
they certainly win first prize for being
stupid politicians.

Housing Conditions
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In reading the February 2
edition of the Toledo Blade, 1T
appears that the paper is very
much aroused at the deplor-
able housing conditions which
exist in Toledo.
Behind the misera BILE living
conditions about which the
Blade grieves lies a system of
vicious landlordism, made
quate wages, prejudice and ex-
ploitation which has never
been publicized in the Blade
or any other newspaper which
is owned and controlled by
one man or a small group of
men.
What can be gained in bet
tering conditions by pointing
out the evils and neglecting to
name the causes which bring
about these living conditions
and deplorable housing cir
cumstances?
If the, Blade wants to do
really constructive job of cur
ing the evils of which it writes
so descriptively, let it go to
the very bottom of the thing
and state the causes and advo-
cate their elimination.
Of course, no daily neWspa-
per in this section of the coun-
try would do that, but l can
dream can't 1?

do so. After everyone reads
the letter, l hope they will

Many of the servicemen will
not be surprised at the opin-

of US who work at Auto-Lite

that Brother Cutcher will let

Dear Mr.. Gosser:


The letter to the Service peo

to hear that the people max
ing materials for the forces

The boys are well cared for
in the hospitals. Everything
that is possible is being done
for them. They keep us busy.
Just yesterday l received five
packages from the WillyS-
Overland Local IL. All the
items in it are welcome and
enjoyed by not only me but
my hut mates.
The nurses are housed close
ly in small huts. They are
good group and cooperate
we'll. Now we certainly appre-
ciate our own country. ! will
be happy to see the Statue of
Liberty again.
Again I thank the Union for
its thoughtfulness and kind
ness. l appreciate its efforts.
Kind thoughts to all.

FOUR FREEDOMS

I wonder how many people still think of or
recall the four freedoms which were so well
expressed and so beautifully illustrated. With
all of the publicity, consideration Of our leg
islative bodies and talk by the general public
about conscription of labor, the Work or Jail
Bill and the many proposed limitations on
human rights it seems to me that the four
freedoms this freedom is probably the closest
to reality in our Country at the present time
then it has ever been in this generation
There is no good reason in our land of plenty
for not making this reality in the future.
Freedom of Speech: This freedom is tech
nicalIy unblemished. 1t is; however tarnish-
ed by fear of saying the things you may have
in your mind People are constantly being
appraised of what public opinion will do and
are constantly faced with contorted inter-
pretations of spoken words to the point that
is hard to distinguish the actual starting point
of freedom of speech.
Freedom of Religion: This freedom, again,
is one which technically is unimpaired. How
ever, in every day life it is noted that people
themselves do not practice such freedom in
that the formation of organizations and clubs
to give preference because of common men,
bership is evident all around us.
Freedom of Fear: This freedom above all
the others i the most desired. yet the hardest
to achieve since our Maker has given each
human being different physical qualities and
because environment and education have
caused variations in personalities and mental
capacities.
PSYCHOLOGY OF FEAR
Although these four freedoms are pro-
claimed by the high officials of our Govern
ment, the psychology being used is one of
doing things through fear of what might hap
pen should they not be done. 1t is a daily
occurrence through the public press to create
these fears. Of course, there is nothing in
this world of ours developed to perfection
just as there is no actual perpetual motion,
but l see no reason in not trying to improve
our lot according to the Well-expressed words
of the four freedoms.
1t is my opinion that more concrete pro-
gram should be legislated into effect to lead
us toward the objective of the four freedoms.
Certainly among the outstanding programs
should be a broader type of educational pro-
gram which would include many new schools
and colleges with provided for chill
dren and young people to attend. in view of
the fact that a good many must leave schools
and colleges because of economic reasons.
An improved and broader educational system
in our Country is as essential as an improved
and broader social security program.

BREAKDOWN

Our membership is broken
down into thirty Ward and
Township Clubs. Our men,
bers are assigned to their
proper Ward or Township
Club according to where they
live. T csc neighborhood
PAC Clubs meet once each
month. Each Ward or Town
ship Club has two delegates to
the County Central Commit
tee which meets once each
month. There is also a Lucas
Couty PAC Executive Board
consisting of one or more
delegates from each Interna-
final Union which meets once
each month. The County
Central Committee is the
legislative body for the Lucas
County PAC. The Executive
Board directs the overall or
ganization and acts on recon-
mendations of the Political Ac-
ton Manager. Richard Cos
ser, UAW Regional Director
is Political Action Manager.
Within the Ward and Town
ship Clubs is a precinct set
up which provides for a pre-
cinct Captain for each pre-
cinct and a block leader for
each block.
NEED RECRUITS
Now, when we have re-
cruited a sufficient number of
people to fill all these posts,
there is every reason why our
crusade for Social Legislation
will be successful. 1t is very
important to sell enough
memberships to carry out this
program. Membership is only
one dollar per year and in
cludes membership in the
National, State and County
PAC as well as in your own
neighborhood Ward or Town
ship Club. The 1945 member
ship drive is now on and we
are aiming at a membership
of $4,000 for Lucas County.
If the residents of Lucas
County will give this project
the support such program
deserves, Victory at the Polls
will be ours.
There are openings for
office in PAC all the way
from blockleaders to places on
the Executive Board. If any
reader knows of someone who
can make a contribution of
time and effort to PAC this
office will be glad to receive
that information.
On behalf of the PAC l
want to thank the many men,
bers and friends who helped
us in making our first dance
successful and to assure them
we intend to include dances
as a regular feature of our
entertainment program.

BY

Rusch
Chairman

OF tne FolltlcdL ACTON COMMITTEE
The first major entertain
ment affair sponsored by the
Lucas County PAC was a sue
cess in every respect. A
large crowd was in attendance
at the PAC Valentine Frolic
last Saturday evening and
from all reports everyone had
good time.
1t is the plan of the enter
tainment committee to follow
this up by sponsoring dances
about once a month. Plans
for the next PAC dance are
being considered and at this
writing it is tentatively
agreed that the next affair
will be a st. Patrick's Day
dance on March 18th.
From talking with guests at
the dance l learned that there
are still many people COM
pletely unaware of the pur-
pose and program of the
PAC.
Our purpose is TO secure
through passage of Social
Legislation, greater security
for the people of America. This
will be achieved through in
suring the election of liberal
and progressive people to
public office. Our aims in
clude Full Employment, Ade-
quate Social Security Laws
and Protection of Civil Liber-
ties for all.
