From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW,CIO

The 4th Special Session of the Ohio State
Legislature has ended Meager credit should
be given to them for raising the ceiling of ben
efits to the Old Age Pensioners from $4,000
to $4,000 per month. 1t does not come within
the scope of my imagination to know how
any of the aged people, who must exist on this
pension, can get by at present day prices.
Certainly, the aged person who could get
help from some kind neighbors or thoughtful
relatives can probably get by, but those in
diViduals who have no one whatsoever to
rely upon are still in for very sorry time
The Legislature did pass an amendment
allowing up to $4,000 per year for medical
care; however this does not apply for sick
ness in the home and, therefore in many cases
will be of no assistance whatever.
The limited scope of the Old Age Pension
Legislation and the very limited amendments
which our Legislature has allowed should not
be forgotten in the November elections. 1t
takes liberal people to pass legislation for the
benefit of society.
Another Act which can be credited to Leg
islature was the passage of $4,000, 100000
appropriation for Veterans Emergency HouS-
ing
would like to quote the CIO veterans pro-
gram herein. The program is as follows:
/. disqualification, medical care and re-
habilitation to meet the full needs of all
handicapped and disabled veterans.
2. Full employment for all veterans re-
gardless of race, color, creed and nationality.
3. Development and expansion of effec-
tive On-The-Job and Apprenticeship Training
Programs.
4. A liberalized Unemployment Compen
sation Law and administration to insure vet
erans the full benefits to which they are en-
titled.
5. Enactment of a state Veterans Home
and Farm Purchase Act and enabling legisla-
ton which would again permit federal low
cost housing in Ohio
6. Immediate expansion of facilities and
programs to provide full educational oppor-
tunities for all veterans.
T. Recodification of the Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors Relief Act to provide complete
social an deconomic rehabilitation for vet

Regional
Views
By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW-CIO

BY its unanimous vote of opposition to the
payroll tax plan of raising funds for munlclpal
government, the Ohio CIO convention which
met in Akron last week put the stamp of
approval upon the fight which CIO made here
early this year against this unfair and inequi-
table form of taxation.
Contrary to the opinion of slightly biased
local newspaper writer, the opposition of the
Ohio CIO to payroll taxes is not an expression
of local sour grapes because of the outcome OF
the referendum on the issue here last April. 1t
is an honest expression of opposition voiced not
only by local CIO leaders, but the opposition
of clear thinking workers from all sections of
the state.
do not have the slightest hesitation in still
saying that although the Toledo payroll tax is
now an accomplished fact, am still opposed to
it in principle. The fact that the law exists
is no proof that it is a fair and just form of
taxation. 1t is merely a sign that the people
of Toledo were sold bill of goods and were
willing to actually vote an unjust levy on their
incomes in the hope that the financial condition
of their city would be improved.
TO AID OTHERS
Not only are we opposed to the payroll tax
in principle, but we are so convinced of its in
justice that have offered the experience
which we gained here in the tax fight to aid
the workers of other cities in Ohio and else
where in combating this easy way of raising
tax money by taking 1t out of the hides of the
workers.
CIO is alert to the dangers in such taxa
tion 1t knows of the fight which marked the
victory for the real estate and other forces in
this city who favored the payroll tax 1t
watched with interest while the leading figures
in the tax fight refused to discuss the issue on
its merits, but fought demagogy with demag-
ogy."
Forewarned is forearmed and the CIO
unions throughout Ohio recognized that the
victory of the payroll tax advocates was the
first in series of attacks upon the workers
pocketbooks which are now in process of being
repeated in Akron, Springfield, Columbus and
other cities in Ohio, as well as Milwaukee and
other cities out of the state.
OFFENSE AND DEFENSE
In taking the action it did in Akron and con-
demning the payroll tax and acting to prevent
the spread of this unfair form of taxation, the
delegates to the CIO convention took the often.
SiVe.
We here in Toledo were on the defensive
when the incomepayroll tax was put over on
us. Perhaps we were too confident and trust
ing in the judgment of the voters, but what.
ever the reasons for the victory of the tax here,
we are going to do our best to prevent this
form of taxation from being enacted anywhere
else in Ohio. Maybe we can't change our situa.
ton, but we can aid others from experiencing
a similar one.

Time to Prepare

It is a truism that the character of our
public officials is, at all times, reflectlon
of the character of the people who elect
them.
If John w. Bricker, Homer A. Ramey,
RAYMOND Hildebrand, Virgil Cramer ana
their ilk are the kind OF men which
many have claimed them to be, then 1t De-
comes our duty to examine our own inner
workings before placing all the blame on
the stuffed shirts, deCeivers, dOuble-crOss-
ers and reactionary politicians who are
now insisting that we vote for them.
Elections are won and lost not merely
because people do not vote for the right
candidates, but, as so often occurs, be-
cause thousands of workers and plain peo-
pie do not vote at all.
These are the people who win and lose
elections. When they vote, the right peo-
pIe are elected. When they fail to vote
we get Conglomeration of stupid re-
dictionaries such as makes up the 18th
Congress.
These are the people whom the pOliti-
clans love and fear. When they stay away
from the ballot boxes, the reactionaries
and their political stOOges love them.
When they vote, they frequently upset
the political apple cart by electing people
to office who are really in sympathy with
the workers and plain people.
With only So days until the November
election, it becomes evident that it is to
the people who do not vote, or who have
lost their right to vote by failure to ex-
LII aI
dress ourselves. They are the balance of
votes needed to win or lose crucial cleo
tions.
Now is the time to prepare for Novem-
ber by concentrating our efforts upon
those who have failed to vote and who
probably will not vote in the fall cleo
tion If we fail TO acquaint them with the
issues and awaken them to a very real
sense of danger.
Now is the time for the workers to
prepare to give back fortnight answer
to those who have held places in Congress
and our state legislature and done the
bidding of the corporations.
For success in November we must
have thousands of voters qualified and
ready and anxious to vote for those who
are pledged to work and vote for social
legislation which will advance the best
interests of all the people. This can only
be obtained by ringing doorbeis, calling
upon our friends and relatives and bend
ing every effort to get out the vote.
Every member of CIO should now be-
come a politician in the better meaning
of the word Each should make il a point
to get as many people TO register and
vote as possible. Each should call on his
neighbors and tell them the Importance
of registering and voting.
There still remain four days on which
to register. Register yourself, if you are
not already qualified. Get your friends,
your fellow workers, your neighbors and
your relatives to do likewise. If we begin
to prepare now, we can win in November.

They Still
Stand
BY RUTH TAYLOR

"In vain we call old notions
fudge
And bend our conscience to
our dealing,
The Ten Commandments
will not budget
And stealing will continue
stealing"
James Russell Lowell
No matter how we may
hedge and beat around the
bush on all sorts of current
questions, there is one fact we
all do know-and one issue we
can't dodge-we knew when
we take something that isn't
ours-it is stealing-whether
it is done by an individual, a
group or a nation.
We can't alibi theft by say
ing the person it was stolen
from also stole. There is no
alibi in that in our system of
Jurisprudence" No man or ma
ton has right to take the law
into his own hands" AS in
dividuals and as groups we
have struggled towards that
ideal for centuries. Lincoln ex-
pressed it in his great line:
mo man is good enough to
govern another man without
that others consent"
YARDSTICK
Some of the modern theor.
lists try to rationalize away
the creeds by which we were
brought up but no one has
ever yet succeeded in wiping
out the Ten Commandment
and they still make the best
yardstick for individual or
community life.
There Is no problem of state
craft today that cannot be held
up to them for judgment. We
can make our own decision on
the rights and wrongs of any
case without recourse to any
outsider.
The apologists who try to
explain away acts of aggres-
sion or tyranny, under the
guise of economic necessity,
strategic security, or fear of
encirclement, are begging the
issue. Their explanations that
the aggressors have reasons
for fears are shown in their
proper light when held up
against the yardstick of the
I EN- Commandments. The
answer to the question of what
is right is plain and not sub
ject to compromise.
We, as a nation and as in.
dividuals, must take our stand
on principle and abide by our
principles. We must not be
swayed by personality or pre-
judice, but by a clear sense of
what is right and what is
wrong. AS a yardstick by
which to measure, The Ten
Commandments still stand pre-
eminent.

 But Government statistics said 26s 900 tons Of anthracite were mined each day before the miners went on strike.
