Carson munitions empire.
May, who allegedly ran out on
the committee the day before he
was scheduled to testify in Wash
ington, notified the committee
that he was willing to answer
questions at his home in Preston
burg KY, where he is confined
with heart trouble. Mays offer
was quickly rejected and Mead
wrote to the Kentuckian that
This unsworn statement does
not give information concerning
your activities in connection
with the war contract operations
of Henry M. Carson and his as
Sociates and is not satisfactory

profit from his connections with
the Carson combine which
grew from a narrowed letter
head into an industrial pyramid

worth of war contracts.
The explanation failed to sat
isfy committee members who re-
iterated their belief that if May

for reelection this fall he should

Mead proposed that King be

Toledo delegates, after con-
siderable debate during their
caucus, decided to support Kroll.
Politics Emphasized
Kroll's election highlighted a
convention in which the political
considerations of the November
election were emphasized and
re-emphasized with Kroll him
self telling the delegates that the
best way they could honor the
memory of Sidney Hillman, for
mer PAC chairman who died in
July, was to work for the cleo
ton of congressman friendly to
labor and by dropping thou
sands of ballots into the ballot
box in November. 4"

PIaskon Case
Goes To LMC.

A dispute between the Plaskon
Unit of Local IL, UAW-CIO and
the corporation which led to a
work stoppage on Sept. 4, was
referred to a panel of the LMC
committee which began hearing
the case on Wednesday morn
ing of this week.
Principal issues are wages,
continuous operation of the plant
by means of a swing shift and
adjustment of inequalities.
Workers have entered strenu-
Gus objections to the swing shift
on the grounds that before there
was any union in the plant and
later on when the AFL held the
bargaining rights that there was
no attempt on the part of the
company to institute swing
shift in order to maintain their
production.
Offer Raise - If
The company management has
offered to meet the unions
wage demands provided that the
union will agree to the swing
shift. This the union has refused
to do.
Raymond Morse, Unit chair
man stating the case for the
union said that the company was
seeking to use the swing shift in
an endeavor to bring pressure to
bear upon the union. "We know
that there is no more need now
for a swing shift than there ever
was. If the company didn't need
it when there was no union in
the shop, and if the AFL refused
to grant it to them when they
had the bargaining rights, you
can bet your bottom dollar that
we won't give it to them now"
Chairman Morse made it clear
that the union would not permit
wage increases to be used as a
lever by the company manage
ment to begin a swing shift.
There's no reason for it, and
we will not agree to any such
arrangement" he said.
Union pickets are being main
tained around the Plaskon's Syl-
van Ave, plant and Glendale Re-
search Laboratories. Pickets
which had been thrown around
the company's construction pro-
ject in East Toledo last wee'6
were ordered withdrawn by
Richard Gosser, UAW director,
last. week.
