The McCulloch resolution directed
management ito cease their defiance OF
and noncompliance with the orders OF
the National War Labor Board" The
Dupont resolution asked the sharehold-
ers to condemn the policy and con-
duct of the management. and especially
its chairman, SeWell L. Avery, in its dis
pute with the WLB." The resolutions
we're lost but the strength OF the pro-
test definitely made management I'M
easy.
The night before the stockholders
meeting. when the company executives
saw the number OF protest proxies COM
ing in-and about 1919 of the $4,000
came from the extreme conservative
fringe previously under Avery's influ-
ence-the officers began hurriedly tele-
graphing at company expense to signing
shareholders, principally those with 200
or more shares.
The attack drew angry fire from
Avery He said the protesting stock
holders were mot interested" in the
company's welfare, they were interested
in the CIO." As to Wards labor rela-
tions, he declared that in spite of the
publicity, we are proud of our principles
and pleased with the results. I am more
than ever convinced that we are right >"

REVOLT OF WARD
STOCKHOLDERS
REACHES new PEAK

CHICAGO (FP)-Revolt agains t
sewen L. Avery's anti-labor and anti
government policies flared at the hottest
temperature yet reached at Montgomery
Ward & Cos annual stockholders meet
ing here.
More than 100000 shares of Ward
stock backed up proxy statement at
the meeting charging that Board Chair
man Avery,s management of the com
pany had damaged not only the COM
pany but the country.
The proxies had been solicited from
more than 10000 Ward shareholders be-
fore the meeting by a shareholders pro-
test group. The group has been cam
paining against the Avery management
throughout its notorious fight against
United Retail Wholesale & Department.
Store Employees (CIO) and its defiance
Of the National War Labor Board, which
came to a climax last winter when Presi-
cent Roosevelt ordered army seizure Of
ward properties to end their interfer-
enc with the war effort.
last year only two stockholders with
800 shares of stock voted against the
resolution which approved the Avery
management. This year the protest
group voted more than 10000 shares
and management itself was compelled to
cast about $4,000 shares in favor Of the
motion condemning Avery, under in
structed proxies
The shareholders protest group also
backed President James G. Patton OF
the National Farmers Union for the
board Of directors as an outstanding
representative OF Americas farm popu-
latiOn, which makes up a large proper
ton of Wards customers" While Pat
ton was defeated, he received a cumu-
lative vote of l,848,OOO compared to
$4,000 cast for the protest candidate last
year. The present members of the board
were reelectd by votes Of more than
3,5tO,O0O
TWO resolutions backed by the protest
proxies were presented by Frank W. Nc
Culloch of Chicao, industrial secretary
of the council for social action of the
Congregational Christian churches, and
Miss cara Dupont of Cambridge, Mass.
rebellious member of the powerful Du
Pont munitions family.

AFL CHEERS VICTORY
IN EUROPEAN WAR

WASHINGTON P)-The AFL ex-
ecuive council In a formal statement
issued With the We Day announcement,
hailec the victory and pledged that
labor will not hesitate until final
worldwide victory is ours"
The statement follows:
Hail to the glorious victory in Eu-
ropel Hail to the brave men in our
armed forces whose hard fighting made
victory possiblel Hail to the great
masses of American workers, whose un-
tiring efforts supplied our armed forces
and those of our Allies with superiority
in weapons and equipment
Let us remember thar permanent vic
tory in Europe requires more than mill
tary action. Let us concentrate now on
making that victory fully significant by
destroying the hateful things Hitler
stood tor and by establishing enduring
peace. e.
And let us also remember that thus
far we have won only half the battle.
The other half still remains in the Pa
cific. Plenty of hard fighting and hard
work will be required until Japan, too,
surrenders Internationally. Labor will
not pause or relax until the entire job
is completed and final worldwide vic
tory is won"
