CIO Pledges
Chest Support

Complete financial support
of the 1946 Greater Toledo
Community Chest drive which
will get underway Oct. / was
announced this week by Tom
Burke, Toledo Industrial Union
Council executive secretary, In
charge of the CIO section of the
drive.
In announcing CIO plants to
give the Community Chest its
backing, Mr.. Burke said, 1--WE
have given the Chest our COM
plete support for the past five
years and have been one of its
largest single contributors. / am
positive that we will continue 10
do our part again this year as
we have in the past. Our people
recognize the need for an agency
doing the type of work which
the Chest Is performing and will
do their bit insofar as they are
able"
Among worthy projects sup
ported by Chest funds is one re-
Gently introduced to the blind
medical gauze sponges
for a local hospital. Five Toledo
blind women are making the
tiny sponges in their homes.
Last month $4,000 perfectly
made sponges were credited to
the five blind women who have
developed their sense of touch
to such an acute stage that they
are doing perfect work.
One of CLOS favorite projects
Is the Toledo Society for Grip
pied Children for which the or
build the Roosevelt
Pool last summer. This
institution is also
aided by Chest funds.
Hospitals, Boy Scouts, the
Hard of Hearing and many other
an d organizations
benefit from the funds donated
by thousands of Toledo CIO
workers.

Newspapers and Washington
commentators are specializing
about the position Secretary of
State Byrnes will take and re-
gard a cabinet crisis as inevi-
table. President Truman today
wired Mr.. Byrnes thanking him
for his forebearance. Mr.. Byrnes
has not yet made any public or
official comment upon the Wal
lace speech.
Concensus of conservative and
Republican opinion here Is that
Mr.. Truman will ask Mr.. Wal.
lace to confine his activities and
speeches strictly to the affairs
Of the Department of Commerce.
Meanwhile, the storm Is growing
in intensity and promises to de-
velop into a major battle the
outcome Of which may not only
determine the future course of
the nations foreign policy but
which will develop political re.
percussions that will effect both
the November and 1948 elec,
tions.

the few Republicans with PAC
approval, and in Louisiana PAC
backing helped the nomination
of former Rep. T. Hale Boggs
to the House seat vacated by
Rep. Charles E. Mckenzie.
Labor's determination to
wreck the COPS campaign to
capture Congress was intensified
with the announcement of a 12-
point program by the Republic
can Party. One point of the
program called for the firing Of
100000 federal employees, hou-
sands of whom are union MEM

of the peoples hair by firing

opposed.
Republican Party strategists
throughout the country express

ability to oust IA Democrats

control of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Supported by big
business and anti-labor indus
trialists, the Republicans figured
that 36 Senate seats will be at
stake in November and that
about 19 can be taken over by
the COP.
Ohio Is Mentioned
Three states are particularly
mentioned by the Republicans:
I-Ohio, where CIO-PAC is sup
porting Senator Huffman against
reactionary John w. Bricker,
former Republican governor and
1914 vice presidential nominee;
2-Pennsylvania, where Senator
Guffey, Democrat and a fairly
consistent friend of organized
labor, Is given little chance to
hold his seat against the Repu-
blican Gov. Edward Martin; s.
Wisconsin, where Senator Rob
ert LaFollette was beaten for
the COP nomination and the
winner, Joseph r, Mccarthy, is
given an edge over former DEM
ocratic Representative Howard
McMurray.
Prospects of Republican
capture of Congress are seen
possible by Waite House advis-
ers who have asked President
Truman to go on a "stumping
tour" but Truman at a press
conference last week SAID that
he had been asked to speak in
practically every state but will
probably make most of his adj
dresses from Washington.
Chief hope of the Republicans
and anti-labor employers is the
New York election where Gov.
T h omas Dewey, Republican
presidential candidate in 1914,
will be opposed by Senator
James Mead I'd. N. W who has
PAC support. The N. Y. State
CIO Convention was also ex-
pected to endorse former Gov.
Herbert Lehman as the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Senate.

Recall 1s24-34
Labor historians recall that
the 1924-i934 period was one of
the low points In organized la
bor's existence, with very little
organizing going on. Whereas,
1888 TO 1945 was the period dur
ing which the Wagner Labor Re-
lations Act was passed-the
Magma Carta of labor --. and
when most of the major unions
were conducting extensive or
ganizing drives. None of this is
mentioned, but is used instead TO
show what havoc the Wagner

sought to destroy everything we
fought to win"
Saying that the fight of the
union against initiation was a
eight against unemployment
and depression, "the Auto Work
er head said "if we get mass un-
employment and another depres-
sion, we'll get another war, and
there won't be any peace con-
ference the next time"
Scarcity Is Tool
Discussing price control and
the conditions which have existed
since meats were placed back on
a diluted" price control, Presi-
dent Reuther sarcastically re-
ferred to the crowded conditions
of the stockyards following the
death of OPA and remarked,
"the biological process was
speeded up. The raised full grown
cows in "a hours then" He
added, But now they tell us
meat is scarce again."
Charging that artificial scar
cities are a political weapon, Mr..
Reuther said that consumer
action must be intensified. He
advocated building of a real
democratic consumer movement
which can be an important tool
in making democracy work in
the economic sphere"
Not Against Farmers
The fight of the union Is not
against the farmers, said Mr..
Reuther but against the food
trust and he added that "it is
more profitable for the milk
trust to milk dairy farmer than
It'll to milk a dairy cow"
Discussing wages, Mr.. Reuther
told the audience, "if the govern
ment fails on price control, we'll
have to get around to more
wages, but we're not going off
half-cocked. Remember the les
son, when we fight for higher
wages with one arm, we must
fight just as hard with the other
arm to keep prices down."
Referring to the problems
which the unions have outside
the factory, the UAW head
touched upon the annual wage
and reminded his listeners that
"for the first time in history, we
have the tools to destroy poverty.
Never before have we had the
tools to create abundance we
have today"
Condemns The Law
Turning to the G.. I. Case Co.
strike where the workers have
been idle for more than nine
months, Mr.. Reuther was sharp
ly critical of the government for
the law to remain on
the books which guarantees the
company's profits for the next
two years, and termed it, "the
saest effective strike-breaking
method ever known"
Saying that the people of this
country have greater degree of
freedom that which exists in
other countries, Mr.. Reuther
'aid, freedom is not a luxury.
t Is a weapon to fight with" and
added, "the challenge Of peace is
ust as compelling as the chal-
enge Of war. Have we the cour-
lge and intelligence to do the
same things in peace that we did
or in war;"
Concluding his talk with a
