The Lesson

If nothing else has been gained by the
CIO in Toledo as result of the Oil Work
ers' strike, we have learned that the pub
lie does not appreciate an honest and sim
cere effort on the part of the strikers to
maintain essential services.
City Councilman Tom Burke, who is
executive secretary of the Toledo Indus
trial Union Council, has done an excellent
job in his occasional column, "Plain
Talk" which will be found on this page,
in expressing the point of view of the ma
jority of the CI0 in Toledo as a result of
the Oil Workers strike.
1t is doubtful if, after the reaction
which occurred as result of the recent oil
strike, any Union will ever again lean
over backwards in its efforts to avert in
convenience to the public in Toledo. CIO
has been taught lesson that will not soon
be forgotten.

Fritz Tells EN-
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
l would like to convey the
thoughts of many servicemen
to the readers of the TOLEDO
UNION JOURNAL, and the
major thought is that of get
ting discharges.
Soldiers realize that their
gripes go unheeded unless
they are sounded collectively.
They are looking to Washing
ton and wondering why the
lack of planning for demobili-
zation and reconversion. They
wonder why there isn't a uni
form system for discharges
covering all branches of the
service.
Soldiers wonder whether the
"Indian giver" policies con-
tanned in the G.. l. Bill will be
altered to aid the servicemen,
or, better still, completely
changed. They wonder if the
War Surplus Board has COM
pletely overlooked the service
men.
One thing that we really
wonder about is why those
who are now advocating SUI
per-seniority never believed
in any kind of seniority be-
fore.

Regional
Views
By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW~ClO
UAW POLICY

UAW POLICY
want to take this opportunity to PERSONAL
ly thank all the Local unions in Region 2-B
which hewing to the line in observing the
policy of the International UAW regarding
wages and strikes. At the present time, there
Is not single unauthorized strike in the entire
region.
For the benefit of those who do not under
stand, or who may deliberately misunderstood,
want to say that have not changed my posi-
ton my ideas about strikes. 1 know there
are times when the workers must make use of
their economic weapon in their struggle for
economic justice, but at the present time, am
of the belief that we would do we'll to 60 along
with the policy of the International UAW-
CIO executive board which is intended to
create the wage pattern for the entire auto
motive industry.
SMITH CONNALLY
Another thing to which some people seem
to object is the necessity of taking vote under
the Smith -Connally Act after vote has al
ready been taken under the International Con-
Stitution.
/ would like to say that even though the
war is over, the Smith Connally law is in eff
feet, and since up to the present time no de-
cision has been handed down by the Supreme
Court regarding the law, we believe should
comply with it. There is case now pending
before the Court, but it is doubtful if a de-
cision will be made before late this fall
1t must be plain to everyone, that taking
strike vote under the Smith Connally Act is
not going to change the position of the Auto
Workers or their wage demands of 80 per cent.
The 80 days cooling off, period is nearly at
an end for the General Motors Corporation and
will not effect the final results if the corpora
ton sticks by its guns and refuses to deal
with the UAW in its wage demands.
OUR REGION
I recognize that all is not happiness and
contentment in Region 2-B, but despite dis
satisfaction with wages, Local Unions are
following the policy of the International ex-
ecutive board. Workers would be foolish not
to strike when the situation forces such action,
but they should continue to stick with their
constitution and the policy of the UAW ex-
ecutive board
/ am sure that if we stick together and fol-
low the procedure outlined by the Union that
we will get the gains which we are after for
the workers, and that before long the wage
structure and price level will be closer to-
gether than they are now In the meantime,
| want to thank all the Locals of Region 2-B
for their cooperation and assistance and prom
ise them that everything possible will be done
TO remedy the injustices which now exist

Divide And Rule

IL the spirit of the English professor
who invented the PrOpOrtionate Represen-
tation system of electing political candl-
dates for public office could have lowered
over Toledo during this past week, 1t
would have been filled with satisfaction.
No better illustration of the "divide
and rule" PR system could be found than
that which was displayed in the 4th ward
by Councilman Ollie Czelusta, who delib-
erately, perhaps mistakenly, expressed the
opinion that the only wa ythe Polish
American citizens Of Toledo could elect
representative to city council was by the
PR method.
Assuming that Mr.. Czelusta's state
ment is true, although we do not believe
it is, is it better to perpetuate this type OF
bigotry by maintaining the system which
develops it into full bloom? Or should we
attempt to tackle it and destroy the dis
elimination which Mr. CZelusta says pre-
vents a Polish citizen from securing pub
lie office under better understood and
more American system of voting!
We have just completed war in
which boys of various racial strains have
Poles, English, Hungarians, Bulgarians,
Irish, French, Catholics, Protestants or
other minority groups. Arm in arm they
went to war as Americans, and nobody
thought of them as anything else but
Americans.
But now that the war is over, Mr.. Cze-
lusta would have us believe that these
boys of Polish ancestry should be shOoed
off into a corner and told "there, you are
Poles, stay there"
This war will never be won until every
group in this country, regardless what
their national, racial or religious descent
might be, are free to run for and be elect
ed to public office, not as members OF
minority groups, but as American citizens
who have won the right to live as free
citizens in a free country.
This is part of the fight against the
PR, and a most important part, for until
we eliminate a system which was devised
in England by another professor like DIR.
o. Garfield Jones' to mislead and divide
the working people of England, we shall
not be able to even begin to eliminate
prejudice and bigotry.
Those Toledo businessmen who are
throwing large sums of money into the
campaign from which DIR. o. Garfield
Jones, high priced publicists and others
are drawing fat pay checks should be
enough to convince the plain people of
this city of the danger. The workers of
this city should arise and decisively de-
feat the PR system which has brought us
to outright division at time when we
should be closer together than ever.
Defeat PR, and defeat the economic In
terests which seek to divide, and rule and
control us.

Here T'is Eva

Dear Sir:
In reply to a letter from an
Auto-Lite member in last
weeks JOURNAL, l would
like to say, Eyes Eva, l would
certainly defend our right to
our own opinion, and, as you
can see, the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL has room in its
pages for an expression of that
difference of opinion. This is
more that the Auto-Lite paper,
Labor News" has room for.
AS to your opinion on 800
people outvoting and rescind-
ing the action of $500 on the
80 per cent wage proposal
without being given advance
notice, it seems that you must
believe in minority rule. Who
ever "gets there fustest, with
the mostest," provided the hall
isn't too big, can outvote the
entire Auto-Lite membership.
While we may have some
differences of opinion, we
both agree that there is need
for a 80 per cent wage in
crease for our members, but
what has the executive COM
mittee done about it?
Maybe the increase is in the
same boat with our contract
which should have been pre-
sented to management last
July or August, but was side
tracked while the executive
committee was busy trying to
get that separate charter. 1t
is still not negotiated.
do not think it means dis
unity to criticize our executive
committee which is elected to
look after the welfare and in
terests of our members. If
they are not doing it, they GER
tainly should be called to ac-
count.
Fraternally,
Helen Buder,

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local IL, UAW.CIO

Another week has passed with no material
change in the Wage Policy being followed for
reconverson purposes. 1t seems to me that
the delay in giving labor justified wage in
crease is only deliberate stall thereby allow
ing people to spend what little savings they
may have hand in cash so that they will
be more willing to accept smaller increase
than is demanded and justified.
1t is still q full month before the Labor
Management Conference convenes in Washing
ton. Even then it is unlikely that such a CO.
ference will discuss the setting of wages be-
cause | am sure that Management members
will be very resistant to discuss the setting of
prices with Labor members present The only
result then is for Labor to withhold from a
wage discussion with Management as gen.
eral policy for the Country.
The situation so far as workers leaving
their employment is clearing up somewhat at
the present stage; however, in most instances
particularly in the UA.W. strike action is be-
ing prepared under the Smith-Connoly Bill.
This means that within period of from 80
to so days, these strike votes will have been
taken and strike action will have been autho-
rized where necessary. 1t can be expected that
strikes will increase in number beyond any,
thing which has occurred in the recent past.
AS indicated in the oil strike, Government is
likely to try to settle the National Wage Issue
on the basis of Is per cent increase. This in
my opinion is too low even though a COM
promise from labors demand of 80 per cent
may be necessary. Certainly the elimination
of overtime premium pay will reduce con-
siderably the cost of unit manufacture and
with this reduction in cost, Companies will
proportionately take greater amount of
profit. There is every likelihood that the Ex-
cess-Profits Tax will be repealed as of the
first of january, 1946. This will leave addi-
tional funds in the Companies treasures.
The price control laws as set up will
not expire until midsummer of 1916. Let us
all hope that big Managements do not take
the position of retarding reconversion until
such time as controls are taken off of prices as
this would only in the long run reflect in a
lowered standard of living for the people here
in the United States. This would, particularly,
be bad for the 100000 veterans returning
to Country for which they risked their lives
to make better Country to live in

MATHEMATICS
Ollie Pecord who does
little of the PAC publicity
work has come up with a
method of showing that the
PR system which is supposed
to be so mathematically COR
rect Is also a screwy system.
Members of the Speakers
Committee are urged to see
Pecord in his office where
he will give them something
to throw at the people who
are so certain PR is such a
great bookkeeping system,
The idea Is to show that
even in a small election an
injustice can be done to can
didates for office and that
there Is no way fever really
knowing which one would get
elected under a system where
the popular vote means some
thing.
The answer, of course, is to
repeal PR and get back to a
sane and sensible system of
slecting city councilmen.

Political
Action
ISSUES

W "S~ Sesss~eSS AStsSh NfOhbH"sSSS
ISSUES
The voters OF Toledo in the
coming election will be called
upon to vote on issues as i'm
portant to their welfare as
any that have ever been on
the ballot.
First of all is the reelection
of Tom Burke to City Council.
Tom Burke has done a good
job of representing the inter-
} ests Of the citizens of Toledo.
He has always stood for labor
representation on important
city committees. He has al
ways recommended projects
which would create en-
ployment for Toledo workers.
He has fought for economy in
n way that would not put the
burden on the taxes of the
workers, while he supported
expenditures which would put
money in their pay envelopes.
1t is of the utmost importance
to the Toledo workers and the
citizens In general that Tom
Burke be reelected to City
Council. Make Tom Burke
your first choice for City
Council.
AMENDMENTS
There are also important
amendments to the City Char
ter to be voted on at this cleo
ton. One of these is the PAC
proposal to abolish the Pro-
portional Representation Sys-
tenn of electing city council
men and replace 1t with a sys-
tenn under which a nine-man
council is elected at large by
plurality vote.
The c. /. o. PAC has no
quarrel with the city manager
plan or the nine-man council.
The PAC amendment leaves
the nine-rnan' council and the
city manager plan intact. We
are, however, vigorously OPP
posed TO the PR system of
electing city councilmen, and
for very good reasons.
Under PR the voter only
gets one vote although there
are nine places to be filled.
The system Is unfair, undemo-
cratic, complicated, mathema-
tically unsound, and tends
only to perpetuate a clique in
office.
Under PR any councilman
who can induce 10% plus one
of the voters to vote for him
is sure of reelection, regard
less Of what the sentiment of
the other 90% OF the voters
may be.
COUNCIL TERM
Another amendment to the
City Charter to be voted on at
the election is the proposal to
increase councilmanic terms
from two years to four years.
This amendment must be de-
fested because q good council
man can be reelected every
two years and two years is
long enough to live with
poor one.
The amendment TO abolish
PR Is a lengthy one. The other
amendments should be de-
feated and they are short. A
safe rule to follow is to vote
yes on the long amendment,
and no on the short ones.
Let us all get out and vote
in this election. Let us sweep
Tom Burke back into office,
d efeat PR overwhelmingly
and snow under the proposed
extension OF councilmanic
terms.
