officials of the American
Legion.
The proposal flatly and
simply calls for legislation to
cancel the seniority of all work
ers hired after May /, 1910, and
replace them in their jobs with
veterans.
The amazing, cold-blooded
scheme would reward millions
of workers for what Army Of
ficials have called a miracle
of production" by throwing
them out on the street. The de-
mand was made by the Legion
officials at a closed meeting on
Feb. 81 of the Advisory Com
mittee for the Retraining and
Unemployment Administration
of the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton headed by Brig. Gen. Frank
T. Hines. The Committee was
set up under the G. /. Bill Of
Rights.
LPA learned that not one of
the other veterans organiza-
tions represented at the meeting
endorsed the Legion's proposal.
Woud Destroy Unions
If the Legion's demands were
approved, labor leaders declar-
ed, it would mean firing prac-
tically the entire working force
of scores of war plants, particu-
larly those built by the govern
ment since the beginning of the
war. In addition, it was point
ed out, it would result in the
virtual destruction of many
unions and rob countless work.
ers of the only job security they
have-their seniority.
The Legion's plan, it was not
ed, is similar to that proposed
by certain sections of the pow
erful auto and aircraft industry
in preliminary discussions of
new union contracts recently.
The Legion itself has been
bitterly criticized by organized
labor in the past for its reac-
tionary policies and for frequent
instances where it has partici-
pated in deliberate and planned
ke-breaking activities.
However, with the election
last year of Edward N. Scheir-
berling as its new national COM
mander, it was hoped in trade
union ranks that the Legion
would adopt more enlightened
and progressive policies and
take cognizance at last of the
thousands of unionists among its
members.
Whether the Legion proposes
to put men into a plant or indus
try irrespective of whether they
have ever worked in that field
before was not Immediately
shown.

Walter P. Reuther, Inter-
national UAW-CIO vice-pre-
sident in charge of General
Motors Division will speak
before the Local II stewards
meeting at the headquarters, 425
Winthrop ST., Friday, March %.
Mr.. Reuther, one of the out
standing authorities in the coun-
try on the skilled trades will
discuss wage rates for the skill
ed workers. In charge of the
skilled trades division of the In
ternational t UAW-CIO, Mr..
Reuther has a fund of knowl-
edge and suggestions which will
be of interest to all skilled
workers who are invited to at
tend the meeting and hear the
talk.
Officials of the Greater Toledo
Tool, Die and Maintenance
Council are urging all skilled
workers who belong to CIO to
attend the March % meeting,
because of the wage studies con-
Quoted by Mr.. Reuther in all
sections of the country which
will be explained to the meeting.
Efforts to compile wage scales
have been extended by Mr..
Reuther. He has accumulated
wage data from all UAW-CIO
Shops which will be presented
before government authorities
in an effort to eventually estab-
lish a more equitable wage
scale in the skilled trades.
Regional D r e C I o Richard
Gosser has extended his invita-
ton to ALL UAW-CIO skilled
workers to hear Vice-President
Reuther. Said Mr.. Gosser, sit
is my hope that as many of the
skilled workers as possible will
be at the March % meeting.
They will hear a speaker who
not only has the facts about the
skilled trades and wage rates,
but a man who can present the
facts and figures and make them
interesting. Mr.. Reuther is an
accomplished speaker who will
bring to the skilled workers. of
Toledo a message which they
will find of great Importance"

SURVEY OF SHOE DEALERS, MAKERS
this SMONTHTOREVEAL NUMBER ON HAND

For the first time in history
Uncle Sam soon will know how
many shoes, rationed and unration-
ed, are available for his civilian
nieceS and nephewS. The answer
will be found when a complete in
ventory of the nations stocks of
footwear is made at the close of
business this month. The survey
has been requested by OPA.
An actual physical count of all
shoes on hand, by type and in
many cases by price ranges, is to
be made by all persons selling
shoes, including shoe manufacture
ers, wholesalers, retailers, auction
GERS and dealers in export or inn
port tade.
The inventory is indispensable to
OPA and other Federal agencies
concerned with the problem of Sc
curing adequate production and
fair distribution of shoes, according
to w. M. Charters, shoe rationing
officer for the 81 counties in the
Columbus Office of Price Admin
iStration district. 1t will form one
of the bases for determining how
many pairs of shoes can be allot-
ted to the home front and what
types of shoes can be removed
