PAC Membership

Efforts being made by the PAC to re-
rruit new members and renew old ones
are being intensified in view of the leglS-
lation which is pending in Columbus and
Washington.
Some workers seem to be under the
impression that the PAC is an Organiza-
ton to join just prior to an election, mis-
conception which utterly fails to grasp the
real purpose behind this political COM
mittee.
While ii is necessary for the workers,
through their organizations, to seek out
and support candidates for political Of
flee who are friendly to labor's program
of social legislation, the battle is not won
but only beginning once labOr-backed can
didates succeed in winning office.
The real test of PAC and its most inn
portant function takes place after, rather
than before elections.
PAC has for its purpose to keep its
eye upon those who serve in the state leg
islature and in congress. 1t must know
and understand the bills which are pre-
sented before these legislative bodies
which affect the welfare of the workers.
knowing legislation and its possible
and probable results on labor is the stisnu-
lus which makes PAC tick. From this
knowledge comes the action that must be
taken to aid in the passage or defeat OF
bills which are vital to labor.
But PAC cannot and will not succeed
without the strong backing of large seq
ment of the workers. 1t needs their dollar
for its financial support. 1t needs their in
terest and coordinated action to suceeed
in accomplishing the things which must
be accomplished if it is to succeed
Upon the individual worker, his dollar
membership and his own self-interest lies
the success or failure of the PAC.
Join the PAC. Take an interest in your
elected officials who only begin to func-
ton and affect you after they take office.
PAC needs you. You need the PAC.

No Lone Victory

Decision of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee to reject the May work-or-jail
bill last week and substitute another
piece of legislation with very little COM
pusion in ii was not victory for labor
alone.
Small comfort should be taken by
labor leaders for the action of the Senate
committee when it is remembered that big
business, the NAM and United States
Chamber of Commerce brought strong
pressure to bear and were given respect
full hearing from senators who listen to,
but ignore labor on most questions.
Regardless who is to get credit for the
junking of the May bill, or whether or not
il might have been brought about by a
change in the military fortunes of the
Allies in Europe, the decision on the part
of the Senate was wise one which should
end for the duration the pressure placed
upon labor by the administration.
Speculation about the various reasons
behind the junking of the May bill leads
nowhere, nor does the by-passng of its
worst phases indicate that we will be one
big, happy family from now until the war
is won. II merely indicates what amounts
10 a one-round draw in the constant battle
which labor must wage to protect itself
from its enemies and misguided friends
in the administration.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW-ClO

There are numerous committee and or
CARNATIONS being formed among labor groups
opposing peace-time conscription for our
Armed Forces.
In previous article, 1 discussed, briefly,
what felt labors views were regarding peace
time conscription. l would like to, again,
reiterate this same position Of course, we all
must realize that peace is not the absence of
War but rather the presence and application
of true Democracy. Reports from the public
press seem to indicate that there will be no
International law and, of course, it is only
but the predominant forces of the World
agreeing upon and abiding by laws that the
people of our Country can feel a measure of
security against wars in the future 1t would
not be possible to set up International laws
guaranteeing the equality of Nations but it,
certainly would be possible and highly prac-
tical to have such laws which would guar
antee the equality of men.
BY setting up such laws and working to-
ward the enforcement of them through the
education of people to the justice of the laws
we could accomplish for the whole world
such a condition as may be viewed in our
history from the time of the Civil War in the
United States up to the present date This of
course, does not show perfection but at least it
has gradually brought us to realize that every
human being should have the right to life
Liberty and the pursuit happiness 1t has not
required conscription army in the past 80
years. The same can be true for the world as
a whole The only enforcement agency neces-
sary would be that type of force which would
compare to Civil Law enforcement officers in
our Country. Just as it may be necessary in a
society to curb the greed of individuals for
wealth and power by legislative action so too
it would be necessary on world scale to curb
the lust for power of men having designs to
achieve their power through the formation
of gigantic war machines 1t is not that Ma
tions fight wars but rather that the men, won1-
and children in them fight the wars.
The implements of destruction created for
the present war in all countries should be
Systematically inventoried by the combined
representatives of all Nations involved and
by having all Nations open their storage
houses of these implements for the inspection
of all other Nations. They should be recon-
Verted into constructive machinery for world
protection that will better the standard of 4
living for all people and especially for those
whose standards are so low as would be
detrimental to health and the Pursuit of Han. \
piness.
So long as the destructive weapons are\
non-existent, the temptation to use them can
not exist and the desire of political combine
to enlarge their sphere of influence by force
readily be checked by world police
force of insignificant size
The attention of the younger people in our
country today should be focused on the COM
ing West Coast World Conference as it NAV
determine whether you will within your life
see another World War of even greater de-
structive force than the present one.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
! wish to take this oppor-
tunity to acknowledge the
splendid cooperation l have
received from Howard Cutch-
er, Chairman of the Auto-Lite
Unit. In spite of his many
duties as chairman, Brother
Cutcher has given from his
own personal time to assist
me in the organization of the
Auto-Lite Spark Plug plant in
FoStoria, and on several oc-
casions came to Fostoria to
bring a message of encourage
ment to the Spark Plug work
ers from the membership in
Toledo ON behalf of the or
ganizational drive.
l have never known him
to be too busy to listen to the
problems of the average
worker and he has shown a
capacity for settling their
grievances that is highly COM
mendable.
He is known as a hard work
er and his honesty and fear
lessneSs as a Union officer are
unquestioned. Never has he
been too proud to seek the ad-
vice of veteran officers of the
Local and International Union
to obtain the best results for
his membership.
Howard Cuntcher is not one
who goes around boasting of
his accomplishments, for he
is not the lousd-voiced, back
slapping, hand shaking type
of leader, yet he has achieved
good results for Auto-Lite
people.
l am sure that it is this
type of leadership that is
needed to continue to build
our Union on sound, honest
trade union principles, and /
want to thank him for the
service and cooperation he has
rendered in the, past, with
every good wish for his
future success.

Director Region 2B, UAW-ClO

One of my friends asked me last week,
Dick which would you rather have, s65a1
or S288?" a
looked around for club because /
figured that anyone who would ask a ques-
ton like that was either crazy or on the verge
of losing his mind
But before I could answer, the fellow said
that's the difference between what the un-
employed now receive under unemployment
compensation and what they will be able to
get if the new legislation is passed which will
increase their benefits"
That set me to thinking l wondered if the
people who are working ever think about
the day when the ends and about $4,000
of them here in Toledo will be laid off have
seen fellows in my own plant raise the roof
for two or five cent raise, and l wondered
what kind of racket all the workers would
make to get 1852 more than they can expect
under the present unemployment compense
sation law.
Here is chance for the workers of Ohio to
prove that they are sincere in their gripping
about their wages This new legislation to in
crease unemployment compensation payments
from SIG week for 18 weeks to S25 for 26
weeks is just what the workers have been
asking for. It's more money It's money they
can get if they will raise as much He'll about
that as they do about the War Labor Board.
WHAT TO DO
Every worker wants more money, now is
the time to go after it. What can l do is the
question every person now employed should
ask himself. Those who working should
make up their minds whether they are going
to be satisfied with $288 for 18 weeks of idle
ness, or if they would prefer to have $3.50 for
26 weeks.
If you don't need the money or don't want
it, skip this. If you won't be satisfied with the
smaller amount then you're the guy l wanE
to talk to.
When you are asked by your shop chair
man, PAC representative or Local officers to
write a letter to your state representatives
and senators, sit down and do it, You don't
need to be professional writer to give them
your message, just tell them what bill you
want them to vote for and why. Plenty of the
people in the shop will help you. If nobody
else will help, come up to my office and I'll
tell you what to say.

Slavery may again return to Europe
if the wishes of some are realized Slave
labor in Europe will reflect itself in the
economic life of all the other nations to
such an extent that once again those who
win the war will end by losing it.
There can be no economic health in
any nation when any other nation is held
in economic bondage.

pality taxing another municipality.
The League headquarters is valu-
