west of Alpena, Michigan, with

them. He claims he brought rs
pounds of fish home with him

Political
Action

We are getting very close
to the 9th of August. This Is
the date on which the PAC
petitions for the repeal of PR
must be filed.
The PAC campaign for the
repeal of PR is for the pur-
pose Of keeping our nine man
city council and city manager
plan intact but abolishing the
proportional rep resentation
system of electing city coun-
cilmen.
Under the PR system the
voters choice Is expressed by
numbers. That is first choice,
second choice and so on. In
order to be elected each can
didate needs enough first
votes to equal 10% of the
voting population. If a cam
didate has that many first
choice votes he can be un-
concerned about the rest OF
the voters. On the other hand
if the majority of the voters
voted for a certain candidate
but he did not happen to have
10% of the total vote as first
choice votes he could be de-
feated.
Proportional Representation
is complicated, unfair, un-
democratic, costly and con-
fusing. Our plan is for the
voters to place an x beside the
names of the nine candidates
they want elected and for the
nine candidates who receive
the largest number of votes
being declared elected.
This is the system of cleo
ton in practically all organ
izations. 1t is the simplest,
fairest and most democratic
method. The CIO-PAC of the
Toledo area believes that
when the voters are faced
with a choice between the
PAC proposal of electing nine
councilmen at large with a
plurality vote or retaining Pr
that PR will be ANONYMOUSLY
defeated.
The issue now, however is
whether we will secure the
required 1880 valid sigma
lures by the 9th of August.
The indications are that we
will succeed in this, but
there is too much at stake
to take any unnecessary
chances.
I am appealing to each shop
chairman to see that he Sc
cures a maximum number of
signatures from his shop. l
appeal to everyone who can,
to secure a petition from our
office and circulate it. hope
that every resident of the city
of Toledo who realizes the
necessity of repeating Pr
will make it his business to
sign a PAC petition for the
repeal of PR.
Time is getting short. We
have a world to win in secur-
ing a method of electing
city council who will really
represent all the citizens.
After August 9th the oppor-
tunity will be passed. Let us
roll up our sleeevs and go to
work on the matter now.
Membership in PAC is only
one dollar per year. If you
are not a member see the
PAC representative at your
shop, or at your local, or
come to our office and sign
up now. The more members
we have, the better job we
can do on promoting social
legislation, as well as oppos-
ing anti-labor bills.
There will be a general
membership meeting of PAC
on July 30th in Parlor A
425 Winthrop st. There Will
be a session at 10 a. m. for
the second shift workers and
at 8 p. m. for all others. At
