Vets Seek
Labor Post
Committee Seeks
United Support

An initial report of the COM
mittee appointed by the Local
IL Veterans Committee to in
vestigate the possibility of secur-
ing charter for labor post for
union veterans will be given at
the next regular meeting of the
Veterans group, Monday, Oct. 5
at 1870 p. m.
Efforts of labor posts in vari-
Gus sections of the country to
play an increasingly more i'm
portant part in the various vet
erans organizations have led
members of the Local IL veter-
ans group to attempt to break
ground for such post in To-
ledo An endeavor is being made
to interest the AFL and various
railroad unions and brother
hoods in the plan.
Named to serve on a tenn
porary investigating committee
were Christ Topel, Edward Fitz-
gerald and Lester Boylan.

Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO
regional director, who pre-
sided over the meeting,
praised the. work which
Councilman Burke had done
during his term in office and
called upon the workers of
Toledo to return him to council
by a larger vote than in 1943.
He predicted that the 1943
would bring out big vote be-
cause of the PR issue and ex-
pressed the belief that the larg
er the number of voters the bet
ter showing Mr.. Burke would
make.
Mr.. Burke express e d
his gratitude for the coopera-
ton given him by members of
the CIO and other unions and
said that he was ready at all
times to cooperate with the
workers of Toledo in any worthy
project which needed his sup
port.
In accepting the endorsement
of PAC and other civic groups
which attended the formal
opening of the campaign, Mr..
Burke stated that he was run
ming frankly as a labor candi-
date, the same as he did two
years ago, but would welcome
the support of other progressive
civic organizations. He defended
the pay raises recently given city
employees by city council and

NLRB Reinsfafes
Beck Employees

SIDNEY, Oct. 8 Especially -
William c. Eiler and John T.
Hughes, former employees of the
Beck Body Shop of this city will
be returned to their jobs with
the company from which they
were dismissed one yea ago for
union activities. This was the
decision of the National Labor
Relations Board in a directive
received today by the Interna-
tional UAW-CIO and Beck Co.
management.
Charges of unfair labor prac-
tees leveled against the Beck
Co. by the UAW-CIO for dis
charge of the two employees
were upheld by the NLRB which
ordered the return of the men
to their former jobs with back
pay for lost time and orders to
the company to cease intimidat-
ing and coercing employees
from joining the UAW or any
other union and to post in a
conspicuous place in the shop a
signed notice to this effect.
Discharged For Activity
William c. Eiler and John T.
Hughes were discharged by the
Beck Co. on Aug. II, 1914 be-
cause they were active in the
shop seeking to organize their
fellow-workers into the United
Auto Workers-CIO which at the
time was seeking to secure men,
bers in the company plant.
Both men were talked to by
c. D. Beck head Of the company
who attempted to persuade them
that the union was a political
racket" +" Later following a un-
ion meeting both men were dis
charged. Both were among the
first members to sign with the
Auto Workers.
The company is ordered by
the NLRB to return the men to
their jobs paying them for all
lost time since the day of their
which is approximate
ly $500 each. Both men have
10 days time in which to return
to their jobs according to the
NLRB directive.

intricate Senate session last
week, it was not clear whether
the Full Employment bill, as ap-
proved by II to 10, met with
the approval of its originators.
A series of amendments, which
the bills supporters in the main
claimed were simply changes of
words, rather than of the in
tent of mechanism of the bill,
were passed rapidly before the
final vote. In the end, even
such violent opponents of the
bill as Robert Taft (R. Ohio)
Hickenlooper (R. Iowa., Rad
cliffe ID. MOI and Wheeler (R.
Mont.) voted for the measure.
Commenting on the final vote,
Senate majority leader Alben
Barkley ironically said: ut now

which would provide a ma
tional program of health in
surance and extend social Sc
curity benefits.
This time the "Women of the
Pacific" have decided to try to
influence labor on behalf of
their vicious drive and have
asked employers receiving their
material to make it available to
their workers. Thousands of en-
ployers were circularized with
letters and an eight-page PAM
phlet assailing the legislation
which has the backing of both
CIO and AFL. in addition three
postcards are enclosed with the
suggestion that. they be signed
and mailed to Senator w. F.
George, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee; Representa-
tive B. w. Grearhart (Da CALI

and Representative Robert l..
Doughton, chairman of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
That the campaign is not local
but nationwide, was made clear
in a letter which asserted that
115,000 of the postcards had
been distributed "for signature
protesting enactment" In addi-
ton the organization announces
that it "has suggested to organi-
cations with which we have con-
tact in other states that they,
too, inaugurate similar cam
paigns of protest, and has mailed
100000 warning letters to a
select list of California citizens" !"
The employers who are urged
to propagandize their employees
against the bills are advised that
sets of the letter, pamphlet and
postcards cost Is cents each.

Lubor Provides
Youth Opportunity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (LPA)
Opportunities for the bright
working class boy as well as for
the educated middle class young
ster are greater today in the
trade union movement than in
business.
That is the finding of a study
published in the current issue
of the Public Opinion Quarterly.
Titled "The Trade Union Lead
er: A Collective Portrait" the
analysis reached these conclu-
sions: "(D-The majority of
trade union leaders have worked
as laborers in the industries with
which they later dealt as union
officials; (2)-The majority took
their first union jobs with a To-
cal; (3) From this local there
are two rather segregated routes
upward, one leads to the top of
national or international un-
ion, the other leads to the top of
state federation; (4)-After he
has arrived the trade union
leader attains a salary which is
definitely in the top brackets.
Thus, he may typically display
some of the psychological trends
a $50 C i a e d with 'self-made'
men,"
The greater opportunities for
youth in the union movement,
the study continues, are "sug-
gested by the greater proportion
of men of lower occupational
origin who are at the top in
trade unions as compared with
business and probably govern
ment positions of comparable in
come and power; by the younger
age at which the trade union
leader attains these positions"
If present trends continue, ac-
cording to the study, I'VE may
expect that the climb to success
in unions will require a better
education, and we may expect
more able young men to follow
the trade union route to posi-
tions :. of power. At the pres
ent time, labor's leadership con-
tains a greater proportion of the
sons of laborers than any other
group of comparable in
come :"

Paris last week with the unani-
nous acceptance by delegates of

The Constitution Committees
report, submitted by CIO Dele
gate Sidney Hillman, enlarged
the Executive Committee from
% to 26 members. Russia was
given three members; the u. S.
and Canada 3; Britain 2; France,
2; Latin America 2; and all
other nations one. The Con-
stitution provided that "All
members of the Executive Com
mittee shall be directly elected

"HoW Can Management and
Labor Get Together" and
instead discussed why they
are apart.
Mr.. Schoville said that the
Wagner Act which had been
created to give the workers col
lective bargaining and prevent
strikes had failed and that "to-
day we have three times as
many strikes as we did in the
nine years since the act waa
passed. In 1914 we had more
strikes than in any previous year
in our history"
Laws Are Unconstitutional
The industry spokesman stated
that many laws had been passed
which were unconstitutional, but
which got by because President
Roosevelt packed the Supreme
Court. He said that since the en-
ployerS are on an individual
basis, the workers should also
be on the same footing and rec
commended elimination of the
Wagner Act substituting instead
individual bargaining for en-
ployees.
Labor unions" said the for
mer Chrysler economist "are a
monopoly and government helps
them do it." Under labor un-
ions the workers get a price
above their market value, and
the market value is a fair price
according to Mr.. Schoville. II
think we should have market
for labor and shoes and every
thing else" he said.
Advocates Law Repeal
In order to cure what he be-
lieved to be the weaknesses in
the economic system, Mr.. Scho-
vile advocated repeal of the
Wagner Act. The act, he said
should not be amended. We
