Auto.Lite Unit
News
CALLS FOR UNITY

At the Auto-Lite Unit meet
ing of August 26, 1945, your
Committee for Unity in the
Auto-Lite made various pro-
posals which are not only in ac-
cordance with the UAW Inter-
national policy, but also were
made to benefit a majority of
the members, both employed
and unemployed.
Among these proposals was a
motion for a 40 hour work
week. The purpose of this mo-
ton, which comedies with our
CIO nationwide demand for
SO hours pay for a 40 hour
work week, is to provide en-
ployment for a portion of the
some $4,000 people in the To-
ledo area who are out of work.
On this issue we expected the
full support of the Executive
Shop Committee, but instead
the attitude was expressed that
certain production departments
should be allowed to work
overtime to provide stock for
other departments (even though
it was brought out that the de-
partments under discussion were
not working three full shifts }
Furthermore, the opposition to
this motion admitted that any
lack of production in these de-
partments would be due to a
lack of help.
Any time a member of this
organization advocates owe
time while other members are
out of work due to lay-offs,
that member is attempting to de-
feat the purposes of organized
labor. Whether he is conscious
of his position or not, doesn't t
matter, because the harm is
done, either through ignorance
or for selfish gain.
If we are to emerge from this
reconversion period wit h
strength and unity it will be
necessary to comply with re-
concentrations of the Interna-
tional UAW-CIO Board, when
and if the recommendation is
applicable. With so many peo-
pie out of work In this area at

The great theme song of to-
day and many days to come is
Unemployment Compensation.
Cd How much do / get if / ap-
ply now? Sixteen dollars per
week for 16 weeks. You do not
benefit by the new law of $21
when it comes into force. You
get SIG fro one year. We are
asking one favor or you.
Although the Governor has
called a special session of the
state legislature which probably
will act on the unemployment
compensation making it an
emergency law effective at
once, we still urge you to write
the Mr.. Lausche and ask him
to get the legislature to act.
When do l have to apply? Any
time the new law goes into eff
feet and do not believe anyone
who tells you that you will be
disqualified if you do not re-
port at once. That is what the
the two bit politicians who
seem to be working for industry
instead of you tell you. Altho
you elected them. My advice to
all of you if you can afford is
to wait until the new law goes
into effect. Do like one of the
brothers said he would do Be-
fore 1 let those politicians laugh
at me / will cash in couple of
bonds to live on until Oct. %.
That is what we call loyalty to
a great cause.
Don't forget to write to Presi-
dent Harry Truman w h 1t e
House Washington, D. c. to use
his prestige to tell the National
Congress when it reconvenes
that they should make the first
order of business the emergency
unemployment compensation of
$25 for 26 weeks.
