THE POpe's warning Is
worthy of the high prestige
which he holds In the civilized
world. Nowhere Is this warning
more important than in the field
Of local government. Because
II is local government which has
the first and most immediate
effect on the family. This is
true not only in the protection
and services rendered but be-
cause the cost of local govern
ment riOusly affects the
ability To own and maintain the
home.
"The history of election which
set the pattern of local govern
ment dicates need for
increased awareness and par
ticipatiOn on the part of women
in public affairs. At the last
spring election when we elected
members of the judiciary only
10 per cent OF the qualified
voters availed themselves OF
their franchise. Certainly the
quality OF the courts has an i'm

"Do you wish to permit an

This is going To look pretty
silly to n man working on

Reuther.
Here's how Bowen explains to-
days election and the reason
for It:
tndeT The Smith-Connally Act,
any union contemplating strike
must file a strike notice with the
NLRB.
Then, according to the law
there must be a 3o-day waiting
or cooling off" period, after
which a strike vote must be taken
among all employees of the plant
or plants
The law does not state that the
proposal must receive a majority
affirmative vote or, in fact, ar
affirmative vote at all. The law
specifies merely that vote shall
be taken
Thus, union, management ane
the NLRB agree the entire pro.
cedure is meaningless.
The international constitution
of the UAW-CIO provides that nc
strike can be authorized without
a two-thirds majority of the work.
erS voting.
HALF o. X. STRIKE
So, TO make the strike legal, il
one IS called, the union is now
conducting separate strike votes
in its various GM locals.
Elections have been held in
about so per cent of the GM locals
and the strike has been approved
with an average majority of 81
per cent, according TO ReHther
Bowen also pointed out that the
taking of a strike vote doesn't
necessarily mean that strike
will be called. If il were not for
provisions of the Smith-Connally
Act, the vote would not be taken.
TERMED A FORMALITY
Reuther says that todays vote
is purely a formality and that in
s. per cent of the cases where
strike votes have been taken in
individual plants the strikes were
never called.
Usually strike votes are con-
ducred IN me pants Affected. But
GM refused the NLRB permission
to use its plants. and voting
booths have been set up in vacant
stores, halls, etc. with some city
voting booths being used.
The Smith-Connally act will re-
main in effect six months after
President Truman declares the
war officially ended
A similar election will be held
in Chrysler plants tomorrow at a
cost of an additional 100000. and
poll IS yet TO be made in Ford
plants.
Sixty counters have been en-
ployed at $l019 a day 10 tabulate

At lastnight'S session the coun-

airport question around for
months without scoring a goal,
got around 10 reconSidering its

THEY DISAGREE
After taking this action and
leaving the council chamber the
members found themselves in dis
agreement about the meaning of
what they had done
Some were under the impress
sion that they had pulled a slick
trick on Mayor JeffrieS. in ef-
feet multiplying his veto although
they lacked sufficient votes TO do
so formally.
This would mean that the cor

Other members joined ,n he

in adding to the confusion
STEPS IN ORDER
An analysis of the earlier acts
of the airport farce, however.
would indicate that Rogcll is
right Here's how it goes
. Last June the council adopt
ed a resolution authorizing con-
demnation of the Northwest
site and appropriated $4,000
to pay for checking Of titles
and other preliminaries
. Last week, by vote OF ; 90 3,
the body approved a resolution
resembling the earlier action,
The effect would have been 10
withdraw the appropriation and
cancel the authorization TO con-
denim.
. Approval by the mayor was
necessary before the resembling
resolution could become effec-
tive. He vetoed il.
. To override the veto q two
thirds majority, or six votes,
was needed A check AeSter-
day morning showed opponents
OF the site that they could get
no more than their original five.
-CounCIlmen- -SweenY.- -LCdge and
Cody. who had voted against
-ffhe resembling resolution, re-
fused 10 change their position.
. At last nights session. the
council resolved 10 reconsider
its vote Ia formaiItY whenever
a measure is vetoed Then IL
tabled the matter.
