POLITICAL ACTION

POLITICAL ACTION
Based on what has been going on in Wash
ingtor, and Columbus, it seems to me that the
future ct the labor movement rests upon how
well it is able to succeed in the political field.
know there are still some people who are
so simple that they cannot see what business
labor has in politics, but we will skip them at
this time. 1t is for the one who can see the
necessity of labor in politics that write this.
One of the strangest things in the world is
how so many workers who believe in political
action fail to affiliate themselves with the
Political Action Committee 1t isn't because
they don't recognize the need for political ac-
ton, or because they don't believe in it that
they fail It's probably for the same reason
that people put off getting their automobile
licenses or paying their income taxes until
the last day
In Washington, the forces which are work
ing against labor do not put off their efforts.
They are in there constantly trying to do
everything in their power to obstruct the
workers and their organizations. They are
using political action to bring about legislation
harmful to us. They don't put off until the
last day, but work every day to injure, and if
possible, actually destroy us.
OUR WEAPON
Our weapon against the political action of
those who fear and hate us is our own po-
litical action. This we accomplish in several
ways /. We organize and join our own po-
litical action committee (PAC). 2. We seek
to find those who are candidates for public
office who will work for our interests in the
state legislature and congress and elect them.
g. We work to defeat those serving in public
office who oppose our economic interests or
who are for legislation which would weaken
or destroy u.s.
Many of us are either very trustful or un-
aware that there are forces at work in this
country which, like Hitler recognize that the
only thing that stands between them and abso-
lutte political and economic control is labor.
These people are realistic. They recognize us
far better than we recognize them. They fear
our power and know that they must break
it if they are to succeed in debating the eco
nomic life of this country. They will stoop
to any device and stop at nothing to achieve
their ends
We too should be realistic. We should not
wait until we are attacked from all sides be-
fore taking an interest in our own individual
and class welfare. We should realize that con-
slant vigilance is the price of our economic
and political freedom.
The best way we can protect our economic
and political interests, and the two are iden-
tical, is to join PAC and take an active part
in the fight against growing reaction

Melvin Schultz
President.
Local IL, UAW-ClO

In continuing my article of last week re-
garding the National War Labor Board the
next step which I wish to discuss is the pro-
cedure after certification of disputes.
The National Board determines, after case
is certified whether it will retain jurisdiction
or refer it to a regional board or to an in
dustry commission. In either case, public
hearing is held on the dispute, either before
a hearing officer or tripartite panel At
least ten days in advance, both parties are no.
titled of the hearing. Material, such as briefs,
existing contracts, etc. must be submitted
five days before the hearing. The opposing
party must be provided with a copy of all
such material.
The parties are encouraged to settle the
dispute at any stage of the proceedings. I'm
less all issues are settled by the close of the
hearing, report and recommendations are
submitted by the panel to the board or COM
mission. Both parties receive copies of the
report and recommendations This gives them
the opportunity to comment if they wish to
do so.
Finally the board or commission issues It's
decision and directive order which becomes
effective is days from the date mailed, unless
the board rules otherwise or II the decision is
appealed by either party.
In the case of a maintenance-of-member
ship order the 15-day escape period runs from
the date of the directive order
The appeals from decisions or regional
boards or commissions to the National Board
must be made on or before the fourteenth day
after the order was issued. Appeals are justi-
fled on one of the following grounds:
l. The order exceeds the National Boards
jurisdiction, or
q The order contravenes established poll
ces of the National Board or
3. novel question is involved of suffi-
cient Importance to warrant national
action, or
4. The procedure resulting in the order
was unfair to the petitioner, and has
caused substantial hardship.
Apart from the field of wage sterilization.
the National War Labor Board has avoided
statement of definite policies The Board up
holds that each and every case should be
handled on it sown merits. The decisions are
based chiefly on existing industry practices.
In my next article on the National War
Labor Board, l will explain to you Union
Observation-Disclosures of Membership.

Dear Sir:
1t is with keen appreciation
I note your frequent reference
in the UNION JOURNAL to
the activities of labor in Wis
consin, particularly Racine
and Kenosha. The very es-
sence of their solidarity is the
recognition given by UAW in
that area to the women. Men
folk up that way are realistic
about the participation of
women in any real job the
Unions want accomplished.
In public relations women
in both cities play an impor-
tant part.
The ICC were proud and
happy to award Auxiliary %.
of Kenosha the membership

fered to UAW auxiliaries for
the largest increase In mem
bership. 1t is noteworthy of
these women they demonstrate
the same solidarity on the
Convention floor-their sup
port of the Co-ops, PIT. A. ac-
tivities, PAC, etc, in their re-
spective cities.
1t would be we'll in our own
area if we would adopt these
characteristics and add them
to our accomplishments.
Sincerely and fraternally
yours

Continued adherence to the so-called
little steel formula by the War Labor
Board would make an excellent theme for
Gilbert and Sullivan opera and provoke
laughter were it not for the seriousness of
the wage situation for the workers.
Labor's number one job is to junk the
little steel formula and after that turn its
attention to the War Labor Board in de-
termined attempt to regain its right to
bargain with employers without having
the Board nullify and undermine this
basic union right.

Take Stand Opposing
Movie Theater Site

Macarthur Boulevard Citizens
Association last night declared it's
opposition to the erection of a mo-

opposite any school, in the District.
This action, which in effect put
the group on record against the pro-
jected use of a site at Macarthur
boulevard and U streets NV. for
erection of a theater, followed an
appeal by Thomas v. Regan, who
said he spoke for parishioners of
Our Lady of Victory Church. The
church is planning to erect a pa
rochial school on its grounds, inme-
diately adj djacent to the proposed
theater site, MIR. Regan said
Opposition was voted despite an
assertion by Fred S. Kogod, Official
of the firm planning the theater,
that unless that site is used the
area may have to do without a
theater for some time"
Decline to Specify Project.
The group declined to specify this
project in its resolution, or to in
clude proposed objection to locat-
ing theaters near churches. Frank
T. Shuu declared any specific op-
position to the project by the as
sociation would be "unwise," in view
of the groups past encouragement
Of such developments.
Claiming "at least 80 pers cent"
opposition to the theater among
parishioners and additional support
among non-Catholic residents, Mr..
Regan said their stand is based on
the belief that children going to
and from school would be attract
ed to many Objectionable movies. "
Patrons parking their cars in, the
streets also would be a nuisance to
residents, he added.
Defending the theater as the most
desirable type of commercial de-
velopment, Mr.. Kogod said the site
