Unpleasant memories of the UAW-ClO
1914 Grand Rapids convention rose in the
minds of dozens of Toledo delegates TO that
convention with the announcement from
the office of Secretary-Treasurer Geo. +.
Adde's last week that the 10th Annual
Convention would be held in the same
city.
For the past several years, il has been
the experience of most UAW-CIO dele
gates from Toledo TO find themselves
quartered in private homes far from the
convention hall and hotel headquarters,
while others, some Of them not even mem
bers of the Auto Workers, were lodged in
good rooms in hotels convenient to the
convention sessions.
For the past several years, Toledo dele
gates have found themselves bitterly say
ing to each other, "We just don't know the
right people" as they have stood in line
at hotel desks in Buffalo and Grand
Rapids only to have the clerks inform
them that the rooms were all taken.
Last year, hundreds of delegates said
"never again" to Grand Rapids, a nice
little city, but entirely inadequate for the
purposes of the Auto Workers annual
meeting.
II is passing strange that the larger
cities, Chicago, Milwaukee, or even New
York, with adequate facilities, are passed
up and Grand Rapids selected again for
convention. Nor does the statement that
everyone except delegates and necessary
officers and staffs would be barred hold
water, for the same statement has been
made for the past several years only to
end with the same people holding the
hotel rooms, while bona fide delegates
have been relegated to the sticks.
If the convention is held in Grand
Rapids again this year, Toledo delegates
can look forward to the same old run
around they have received for the past
few years, with rooms in the suburbs
equipped with hot and cold running door
knobs.

who is now in the Armed Forces in England:
England Feb. 27, 1945
Dear Brother:
Thru the generosity of my brother-in-law
have been receiving THE TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL. l certainly find it a very in
tereSting paper especially Pvt. Ducks column.
/ took about the same kind of training and
I'm glad that one of our leaders is in position
to get the G. l. view Labor problems,
strikes etc.
I'm afraid that the Unions are not re-
garded very highly by most combat soldiers.
l have tried to point out the record produc-
tion of the u. A. w. members but then WELL
publicized walkout occurs and my efforts
are shot.
Last evening on our U. S. A. news, we
heard of the strike at Dodge of 10000 en-
ployees over the discharge of eight men. We
were informed that u A. w. leaders urged a
return to work but were ignored Now you
can imagine the remarks made by a group of
men all of who were hit in action. They let
off with blind rage at all Unions regardless
of who's at fault I'm hoping that this is
temporary condition but I'm afraid it's very
widespread.
l have tried to explain some of the prob
lens involved in being employed by a large
corporation but I'm not very successful.
hope that our leaders are aware of this
situation.
Another item causing friction is the fl
nancial rewards involved Now I've only been
G.. l. for IL months so l can see the problem
as a civilian fairly well. The enclosed clipping
started quite discussion. If family of four
finds it hard to live on $257311 you can i'm
agine the problems confronting c.. I. FAM
lily. A wife and two children will draw the
grand total of $4,000 and a few other bene-
fits. You know the situation about as well as
l do so l won't 60 into it but most soldiers feel
that they are worth as much worker with
hot meals, dry beds and not great deal of
risk.
I hope that have made the situation clear
enough so that our Union will use its influence
to try and end the causes of this friction.
The men around here very much i'm
pressed when they see the Money Order, l
receive every month from my ex-fellow work.
ers at Auto-Lite. That's one thing l don't
need to explain.
If you can use this letter in anyway, feel
free to do so except l don't care for any
publicity"
This letter indicates to me how the people
who are giving the soldiers the news of home
are propagandizing strike situations. l do
not want to justify strikes in wartime but
wish that the truth of the cause were pro-
claimed as loudly rs the effects which these
causes achieve.
Due to my very limited space, I will at
tempt at later date to discuss in this column
the contents of the above letter and the ana
lyss have on it,

Unemployment Compensation

Labor in Ohio is vitality interested IN
the new unemployment compensation bill
now pending before the state legislature.
The new bill would increase the bene-
fits paid to the unemployed from Sl8 to
S25 a week and would extend the time
for such payments from 18 to 70 weeks.
Waiting time under the new Legislation
would be cut from two weeks to one.
Faced with the prospect of cutbacks
and layoffs following the close OF the
European war which may now end in
matter of weeks or even days, the work
ers of Ohio face the unpleasant prospect
of being forced to live on inadequate
compensation in relation to the prices OF
food and other commodities.
Not only are the financial benefits of
unemployment compensation entirely IN
adequate in comparison with the price
structure, but what is equally important
is the length of time during which such
benefits may be paid
ReconversiOn planning has been
brought to standstill by government
which has sought and succeeded in fore
ing the country to concentrate almost en-
tireIy upon war production, condition
which will surely retard conversion to
peacetime production following the close
of the war.
1t is doubtful if recOnversiOn can be
accomplished in Is weeks in any consider
able section of industry which is permit
ted to make the switch from war to peace
time production, a fact which is disturb
ing to those workers who will be the first
to be released from wartime jobs.
Efforts to cut the proposed increase in
unemployment benefits to less than $50
and to even quibble about cutting off
one week from the maximum time pro-
posed by the new compensation bill should
be met head on by the unions and work
ers of Ohio. Moreover, the possibility OF
passing the bill is going to depend to
considerable extent upon the individual
workers themselves.
1t will require more than the unions
and PAC to give the workers OF Ohio $50
a week for 26 weeks. 1t will take the Ell
forts and cards and letters of thousands
of workers writing to their state repreSen-
tatives in Columbus TO bring about the
gains to which the workers are entitled
and which they must have if they are to
be an economic force in our postwar
economy.
Every worker in Ohio should write
his state senators and representatives and
ask them to vote for Senate Bill "a and
House Bill 167. Unless this type of in
terest is shown by the workers themselves
the efforts of labor in Ohio to bring great
er benefits to the workers will not sue
ceed and the unemployed shall become
an obstacle rather than an asset to post
war recovery

Director Region 2B, UAW-CIO

Members of the Spicer Unit of Local IL
deserve the congratulaton and thanks of every
member of our union for their contribution
of time, effort and money in perfectng polio
pack machine which simplifies the treatment
of infantile paralysis by the Kenny method.
To Charles Becker who conceived the idea,
to the committee who have assisted him and
by their efforts made great contribution to
the cause of human welfare, to the members
OF the Unit who contributed their bit in the
form of voluntary donations to help finance
the project and to the Spicer company who
encouraged the work of experimentation on
the polio machine I offer my own and the
thanks of the UAWCIO in Toledo.
AN IDEA
Perfection of the new machine which will
ease the work of treating polio cases, was born
in the mind of Charles Becker when he had
occasion to visit the Crippled Childrens Home
and observed the cumbersome way in which
the polio packs were handled.
From this idea and aided by many who
believed as he did, that there must be some
better way of treating the cases with the
packs, has come the method which now
provides more efficient and surer way of
handling treatments
1t is not the marvel that the machine has
been perfected but the fact that it came from
worker with an idea, was perfected by
suffering human beings and was financed to
a considerable extent by other workers who
wanted to do their part.
Upon sentiments such as these is based all
human progress, for if we do not make prog
ress with the heart, we cannot make progress
in other ways. 1t is fact that all the methods
which have been envolved in the treatment of
human suffering, even those brought about by
war, have come from the desire of men to help
others. To see the workers of Spicer plant
with an ideal such as this gives encourage
ment, for it shows better than anything else
that man still lives by the spirit and is still
moved by feelings of sympathy and compass
sion towards his fellow creatures.
Nothing can add to or take away from the
accomplishment of Charles Becker, his asso-
ciated who worked with him and perfected
the new polio machine and the men and
women of the Spicer Unit Theirs is a great
accompaniment, one which will pay dividends
to them, because it brings benefits to others.

What's
New!
By
EdVard Duck
On Leave
With The
Army

Hi, folks, it's me again. Re-
member last week l was writ
ing about the cooperative
movement and told you about
meeting a lady from one of
the Scandinavian countries
where they have real coop
erative movement.
The trouble in this country
is that the average person
doesn't know a lot about the
co-ops except what they read
in the papers. That reminds
me, have you noticed that
there is a movement afoot to
tax the co-ops because they
are strong competition for
some of the big businesses
which have had their own
way for many years.
But before going into that,
and l may not get that far be-
cause after all, / am still in
the infantry Gas though they
would let me forget IT'D and it
is possible something might
occur to stop this job. At any
rate, it strikes me unusual
when / find someone in some
elite place who is socially con-
scious.
So when I visited the fash
ionable Manhattan restaurant
that brought on this article
and met the lady told you
about in my last article, | was
as surprised as though / had
visited the Bronx, where they
could stand a bit of social up
lift, and found person who
professed an interest in such
things as unions or consumer
movements.

on the move very shortly,
You have asked if l may be
in need of anything. We in
the service can use only per-
sonal items, such as cigarettes
etc. and cash.

as surprised as though / had
visited the Bronx, where they
could stand a bit of social up
lift, and found a person who
professed an interest in such
things as unions or consumer
movements.
THE DECISION
When the working people
themselves decide that it is
high time that they improve
their conditions, then and only
then will they really move
forward.
When overtime hours cease;
when the job of paying for
this war really begins to pinch
the pocketbooks of the people;
when the war ends leading TO
cutbacks and layoffs, and
when we have a lot of time to
think about social problems,
then, perhaps, will we all
agree that consumers CO
operatives are wonderful
things to have.
Because of the future which
the workers in this country
seem to be facing, they should
not permit a few people VINO
have their own special inter-
ests to further to wreck the
consumers movement with a
tax program which Will
merely eliminate the CO.
operative movement by killing
the goose that lays the golden
egg for the people.
This move and all such
moves to destroy the only
thing that has really contrib
uted something definite and
constructive to the welfare OF
the workers must be resisted
not only by the consumers
organizations themselves, but
by every thinking worker
who is seeking to gain a
greater measure of security.
When the layoffs come and
unemployment once again be-
comes a bitter reality, we will
be better able to appreciate
the consumers cooperatiVes.
UNION INTERESTED
Our own union, the UAW-
CIO, is interested in the con-
sumner cooperative movement
and maintains a division which
handles this phase of union
activity. Your International
Education Department has lit
erature on the subject, most
of which is free for the ask
ing. Write to Detroit and get
some of the books and pam
phlets which the Consumers
Division has. Study up on the
matter and see if you don't
agree that the cooperative
movement can and may be
the salvation of the unions in
the days which lie ahead.
If you want to get some
real first hand information on
the Consumer Cooperative
movement visit the Toledo
store Of the Toledo Consum-
ers Cooperative over on De-
troit Ave. Talk with some of
the people who belong to it.
Better still, join the cooper
ative and see for yourself what
great saving it means to you
throughout the year.
Thes great difference be-
tween you as a consumr pa
tronizing a cooperative is that
you get the profit instead of
the private business which
you ordinarily patronize. This
is a worthwhile savings over
a period of one year and you
will never appreciate just
how much you contribute to
the profits of others until
you see for yourself how the
cooperative movement works.
! hope that the postwar
period will see a growth of the
cooperative movement. Most
of all, | look forward to the
day when Local II and the
other unions of Toledo spon-
sor and encourage coopera-
