Wise Prepares
Woqe Charts

Jack Wise, international
UAW-CIO representative in Re-
gional Director Richard Gosser's
office is preparing a series of
charts for skilled and produc-
ton workers showing the wage
and other differentials which
exist in various UAW-CIO plants
throughout the region.
When completed the charts
will give a comprehensive pic
ture of the wage structure of
skilled and unskilled jobs in
every category in the major
share of the plants in Region
2-B and will become the basis
for future contract negotiations.
One of the most complete
charts of information bearing on
all phases of individual plant
contracts is in progress of pre-
paration for the Auto-Lite In
incorporation Council. Eighteen
plants scattered from Wisconsin
to New York are included in
the chart with data which will
be used as the basis for indi-
vidual plant contracts.
Many charts bearing on all
phases of union activities have
been prepared by Mr.. Wise and
have been of great value in or
ganization work, contact nego-
tiations and wage information.

Political
Action

OF the Political Action Committee
With the death of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt a tre-
mendous responsibility has
fallen upon the shoulders of
our new President.
President Trum a n has
stated that he intends to car
ry on the policies and pro-
gram of the late President.
On behalf of the CIO-PAC
I want assure President Tru-
man of the full support of our
organization.
The CIO-PAC supported the
social program of Franklin d.
Roosevelt. We believe his pro-
gram for world peace and full
employm e n t would have
brought about a peaceful and
prosperous postwar world.
We will give support and CO.
operation to our new chief
executive in his task of bring
ing this program to full reali-
zation.
Those who oppose this So
cial program: those who wish
to protect the profits of the
rich at the expense of the
welfare of the workers, can
be assured of the vigorous op-
position of the CIO-PAC.
STATE MEET

5. Recognized that even under
such a system the nature of
shipbuilding operations might
require intermittnet furloughs
of certain trades ,and therefore
urged a certain guaranteed an
nual wage insurance plan be set
UP to provide for such fur
loughed workers.
6. Urged that this guaranteed
wage insurance fund be raised
by tax of three percent on the
employers payrolls, to be paid
by the employers, until a re-
serve fund of $15,000,000 is es-
tablished.
7. Stipulated that the guaran-
teed annual wage insurance
fund be used to pay the differ
ence between state unemploy-
ment insurance and guaranteed
annual wage for those workers
under the guaranteed annual
wage plan who are temporarily
furloughed, for the period in
which they are idle.
8. Recommended that a merit
rating system be established to
encourage continuity of employ
ment by the shipyards, whereby
employers would be absolved
from further contributions to
the guaranteed annual wage in
surance fund after its reserve is
established for so long as they
maintain full employment.

still higher pitch now that
Toledo newspapers have brought
out many of the angles relating
to the Toledo market and the
shortages which apparently are
due to the illegal activities of
local operators. 81
Sentiments heard last year
when workers said that they
would not forget the action of
councilmen who voted against
the ordinance, will undoubtedly
play an important part in this
falls councilmanic election par
ticularly in the case of Council
man Arthur Jurrus, member of
the AFL, who was endorsed by
that organization and by Labors S
Joint Committee for Political
Action, the latter, made UP Of
both CIO and AFL members.
To Repeat Request
Local labor leaders believe
that the black market ordinance
defeated last year by a compli-
ant council fearful of pressure
from the Toledo Real Estate
Board and Chamber of Com
merce, should be re-introduced
by the OPA Labor Advisory
Committee for councils consid-
Grafton now that the results of
the black market operation have
become a matter of increased
public concern.
Councilman Tom Burke when
questioned about his stand on
the black market said, II was
for an ordinance to curb the
black market last year and am
for it now. If the OPA COM
mittee brings in such an ordi-
nance, will support and vote
for it,"
Labor representatives have
expressed the view that if a
black market ordinance were
again presented 1t would be de-
feated by the same councilmen
who voted against last years
ordinance and on the same
grounds, that the act creating
OPA will expire on June 80 of
this year and must be renewed
by congress.
Additional funds recently
voted by congress to OPA to en-
able it to expand its enforce
ment facilities will bring about
very little increase in the Toledo
area force.

critical of the fact that the cut
back came with such astounding
suddenness in Los Angeles that
its first disclosure to the men
and women workers involved
came through the newspapers.
More than $4,000 workers are
employed at Douglas and Lock-
heed. A 50% cut in production
usually means a 500 cut in per-
sonnel, according to WPB ex-
perts.
The B-24 cutback spread i'm
mediately to Chicago and Flint,
Mich. More than 5000 workers
may lose their jobs at the Buick
Melrose Park plant in Chicago.
At Chevrolet Flint, 1000 more
may be discharged.
To Layoff Immediately
Kenneth Cole of T Tol e d o
Washington representative OF
the United Auto Workers-CIO,
said that both the Buick and
Chevrolet plants were so far
ahead of their war schedules
that the layoffs had to take place
Immediately, even though the
completed assembly of the re-
naming B-24's won't be finished
until early August"
Both AFL and CIO unions are
hit by the cutbacks.
Sudden cutbacks were also
hitting other industries, par
ticularly shipbuilding on the
West and East Coasts. From a
peak employment of 100000 in
West Coast shipyards, the num-
Der has shrunk to $4,000 the
AFL asserted.
Sudden Cutbacks Opposed
On the East Coast the ship
building cutbacks have similarly
aroused the Industrial Union OF
Marine & Shipbuilding Workers
CIO. The "Shipyard Worker"
IUMSWA paper, in its April 3
issue declared that the union
takes exception to these sud
den and drastic cutbacks."
Similar cutbacks have affect
ed unions in the electrical and
ammunitions industries.
A rush of cutbacks is anti
cipated by big business. The
"Wall Street Journal" (April l8)
said in a page / headline that
"Wave of Output Cuts in Air
craft Hints What Other Indus
tries Face" The paper declared
that THE Army and WPB.
have set up a new schedule of
arms cutbacks much sharper
than previously announced. Cut
backs in the first quarter-year
after Germany falls will be 24%,
double earlier estimates; by IL
months after We day, cutbacks
will be 500 compared with a
prior 35% figure"

Linder Tells Senators
Asked by Sen. Ellender ID.
La.) whether he was in favor
of doing away with OPA, Lin
der quickly replied: I'D get rid
of it as quickly as l could with
out disrupting the country"
Demands that subsidies be
given to food raisers and to proc
essors when they show that they
are caught in price squeezes, but
that OPA ceilings remain firm
and that the cost of living be
kept down, are being made by
labor and consumer spokesmen.
They point with approval to the
statement by Senate Agriculture
Committee Chairman Z | m e
Thomas ID. Okla) who still
maintains this stand despite the
barrage from the food interests.
Problem of Inspection
Besides the problem of prices,
one of the problems that will
have to be tackled by the federal
agencies if the meat supply is to
be distributed evenly and fairly
is how to control the meat
slaughtered in plants without
federal inspection. Before the
war, 6695 of u. S. meat passed
through federally inspected
plants, 219o was non-inspected,
and 1870 was farm slaughter, ac-
cording to government figures.
All war needs-for land lease
and for the u. S. armed forces
come exclusively from fed
orally inspected 81 a ug h e
houses.
When there was lat pounds OF
meat per civilian available, as
was true last year, the distor-
ton of distribution between city
and rural areas did not show ur
so much. But with civilian sup.
ply from June to December 1945
cut to the rate of 115 pounds
per person for a year, govern
ment agencies agree that some.
thing has to be done to increase
the quantity of federally inspect.
ed meat available.
