Labor Unrest
Is Increasing
National Supply Vote
FavOrs Strike Action

Labor unrest in all sections of
the country due to wage losses
caused by cutbacks is reflected
here by the increasingly large
number of strike votes taken or
pending action of the NLRB in
conducting strike elections un-
der the terms of the Smith Con-
nally Act.
Latest Toledo plant to vote
overwhelmingly in favor of
striking was the National Sup
ly Unit of Local IL, UAW-CIO
which favored strike action by
a vote of 709 to 142 against in
an NLRB conducted election
here last Monday.
TSP To Vote
\ Despite company action in
locking out its employees fol-
lowing the termination of their
strike, workers of the Toledo
Steel Products Co. Subsidiary of
the Thompson Products Co., of
Cleveland will proceed with
their NLRB strike vote here on
Dec. Is, it was announced by
Local IL officials this week.
Refusal of the Toledo Steel
Products Co. to reopen their
plant following the decision of
the striking workers to end
their week-old stoppage on Nov.
10, was announced to Local IL,
UAW-CIO on Nov. %, at a
meeting between the Union and
company officials.
Not To Protest
In a statement to the Toledo
Blade on Tuesday of this week,
L. w. Reeves, company general
manager stated that separation
slips would be given to its en-
ployees and that no protest
would be made to- the Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation
to prevent the workers from
securing compensation.
Reeves statement followed
one made on Monday in which
the company maintained that it
had not locked out its en-
ployees and would still main
tain a force of ITS workers to
merchandise" its products.
Union officials maintain that
the management has now locked
out its employees and point out
that the company which is head
ed by the notorious labor hating
Frederick Crawford is now
making an attempt to destroy
the Union by having Ray Spen-
Ger, a company employee visit
the homes of many union mem
bers in an effort to persuade
them to drop their union men,

Toledo JAW Pledges
Aid To GIN Strikers

Toledo's reaction to the
GIN strike was unanimously
and clearly shown on Wednes-
day, Nov. 81, when 5000 mem
bers of the United Auto
Workers from all sections of Re-
gion 2-B crowded into Civic
Auditorium to hear Regional Di-
rector Richard Gosser discuss
the strike and to pledge their
moral, financial, and if neces-
sary, physical support to the
strikers.
Director Gosser in asking the
support of all the Auto Workers
for the striking GIN workers de-
clared, mo matter how long the
strike lasts, no striker or his
family will 60 without the neces-
sites of life"
Adopt Assessment Resolution
After reading a resolution that
the Auto Workers present rec
ommend each Local Union and
Unit of amalgamated Union pass
a voluntary assessment of S1.00
per week for each member for
the duration of the strike. Direc-
tor Gosser called for vote. The
result was an unanimous vote in
favor of the measure.
The UAW head said that the
GIN workers would not only set
the pattern for wages in the
automobile industry, but would
be the means of increasing the
wages of workers in all indus
tries throughout the United
States.
Warns Against Violence
Mr.. Gosser expressed his de-
sire for peaceful picketing and
asked that efforts be made to
prevent destruction of property.
He said that drink has no
place on the picket line"
Strikes in UAW plants not
connected with the automotive
industry will be authorized up
on completion of the GIN strike
according to Mr.. Gosser.
Strike action of GIN workers
resulted from the refusal of the
company to accept the arbitra-
ton offer made them by the
Union, said the UAW leader. The
company, he said, does not want
the public to know of its profits
and ability to pay the raise wage
asked by its workers without
raising the prices of its cars.
Jobs For Veterans
Plenty of jobs would be avail
able for returning veterans with
out discharging their fathers and
brothers if industry would cut
working hours without cutting
wages, according to Mr.. Gosser.
Councilman Tom Burke, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Toledo
Industrial Union Council spoke
and encouraged the GIN strikers
to .persevere to the end of their
dispute with their corporation.
