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

At the last Local No IL meeting held on the
second Friday of September, a resolution was
presented by the committee of the Auto-Lite
Unit urgently requesting action by Local IL to
get the international union to assign organizers
to the Auto-Lte plants which remained un.
organized to this date.
This problem is undoubtedly one of major
Importance to Local H. Our local union has
presented resolutions to the Interna tional
UAW-CIO conventions for number of years,
demanding that the entire Auto-Lite Corpora
ton be organized. These resolutions were
adopted and some effort has always been put
forth to do this job however, it has been too
small and not sufficiently prolonged to be eff
fective.
Following the action of the Local IL meet
ing, meeting was arranged with Brothers
Adde's and Reuther, in Detroit, which was at
tended by about 25 members of Local IL. This
delegation was sent to Detroit because of the
fact that a good many of the shops in the local
are faced with unfair, unorganized, competitive
plants
The meeting which was held with the In
ternatonal officers brought forth number of
promises of consideration. However, it seems
to me that the most effective program for our
membership to follow out would be to develop
sufficient unit fund treasures that the larger
units could put their own representatives into
the field of organization and the smaller units
and collectively do the same thing.
We find that the plastics industry is new
and, of course, highly competitive. The stamp.
ing plants, even though they have largely been
organized, for long time, have a number of
serious competitors. The foundries, which are
basic industry of the automotive industry,
need untold educational and organization work.
In some instances, the funds which men,
ton above could be used to send representatives
to other local unions which are already estab.
lished.
The WillysOverland Unit has, on a mum.
Der of occasions paid representatives in the
organiZational field. Proof that this can be eff.
fective is the fact that the Miami Valley organ.
ization around Piqua and Troy Ohio, was
started through representatives paid by the
WHY'S Overland Unit
The Spicer Unit has likewise put their
funds to good advantage.
Local IL will pursue the issue of the un.
organized plants right on through to the inter.
national executive board but, again, l would
like to urge our entire membership through
their units to work toward program such as
have outlined above.

BY Bradford v. Carter

The thin and insubstantial
character of our current So
called prosperity is the story
that you get If you read be-
teen the lines of the latest re-
port of the Office of War Mo-
bilization and Reconversion.
The shifting sands which
form the foundation of the
current boom comprise what
Reconversion Director John
Steelman Is talking about
when he says in his report:
I'm the first year of peace,
the dominant economic force
has been the pressure of a
large volume of d e m n d,
power-in part the income of
backed by large purchasing
earlier periods - entering the
market in an effort to obtain
goods and services. This pres
sure has been the chief fuel Of
our advance since W Day"
STILL SECRET
This means that we have
not yet found the secret to
lasting full employment and
production as Steelman rec
ognizes when he says that
"the present level of produc-
tion and employment is
not necessarily permanent"
One of the signs on the
fever chart of the American
economy which indicates the
surface quality of the boom is
that taking account of the
price rise" as Steelman says,
"the physical volume of these
goods absorbed by the public
in the past three months may
actually have declined slight
ly compared with the earlier
part of the year" Steelman
is right in inferring from this
that the "bloom is off the
market" Measured in real
goods rather than in inflated
dollars, the American people
are now beginning to buy
less.
There is another straw in
the wind drifting in the di-
rection of economic contrac-
tion. Listen to some more cold
rates and in straight-time
statistics;
Despite the increase in wage
hourly earnings, gross weekly
earnings of all employees in
manufacturing industries have
decreased between April 1945
and July 1916 by approx
mately 8.5 per cent.
This decrease. expressed in
dollars and cents, means that
the average employe in man.
ufacting industry earning
$47.12 in April 1945 was TAX
ing home in July 1916, $4.05
per week less, or approx
mately $43.07."
But that isn't the whole
story of how the workers
take-home pay has been cut.
The purchasing power of his
wages has also been cut by
the fact that, at a cOnserva-
tive estimate, the cost of liv-
ing has gone up by IL per
cen. Add it up for yourself
S.5 per cent cut in take-hOme
pay and IL per cent increase
in cost of living gives you
1875 per cent cut in purchaS-
ing power or real wages since
a year ago.
Can a prosperity have a
firm foundation, if a large
hunk of the people are rough.
ly 20 per cent worse off than
they were q year ago?

The labor movement will never be dull as
long as things like this can happen, One of
those high pressure how-to- -think-on-your-f
correspondence schools circularized a large
number of Detroit executives urging them to
take a new mail-order course in public speak
ing. Something went horribly askew with the
schools mailing list and several of the circu-
lars were mailed to officials of the CIO United
Auto Workers One of them even found its
way into the mail Of the unions president.
To everyone's immense delight the first sem
tence of the circular read, Dear Friend:

The u. S. Patent Office announced last
week that it had issued Patent No 2,406, ,779
for fabric, that can be used for mems suits
that is both fire-resistant and water-repellent.
1t was quickly discovered that this was of no
use to striking union seamen. What they were
looking for was a suit that woeld keep them
from being stabbed in the back by the Wage
Sterilization Board and at the same time be-
ing kicked in the teeth by the ship operators.

All Beef Club
Expects To Grow
In Coming Year

A county wide All Beef Club
has started in Pinal county and it
is hoped by this fall that there
will be around 10 or II boys and
girls raising some breed OF pure
beef stock The club was started
this spring for the purpose of hav-
ing several good calves each Janu-
airy 10 take TO the Tucson Live
stock Show which is held the last
OF January of every year This
county Eas some of the outstanding
cattle feeders and there is no rea-
son why Pinal county can't be
among the blue ribbon winners in
every All beef show that Is held
in the state. The members OF this
club Will also be given first hand
information on Judging beef stock
and will compete in the judging
contests TO be held this fall at the
state fair and the one that Is held
al the Livestock Show in Tucson.
Mr. X. X. Henness and Mr.. w. NJ.
Brechan. county agent and assist
ant agent, respectively, have guar
anteed the members several trips
TO the Salt River Valley 90 visit
and judge classes OF beef stock
from some of the outstanding herds
In the Southwest This will give
the boy or girl the best possible in
formation on correct feeding and
care for good beef stock The mem
bers vii lalso secure practical ex-
perience in feeding and managing
their animal that will be OF great
use 10 them IN later years II they
decide TO feed beef cattle.
To the present All Beef Club has
four members but there are sever
al good prospects in the making
and we are sure they will get a
calf before this fall The present
members are all from cattle rails
ing families. which Is an important
factor In feeding purebred beef
stock. Mr.. A. Peters OF Casa Gran
de. one of the largest cattle feeders
in this valley. is picking the calves
from his herd and is hoping he will
have the necessity OF picking out
many more for boys and girls who
decide TO join up at a later date.
The latest date for a boy or girl
TO join and hope TO show at the
Livestock Show viii be late May,
but If they wish TO join up as late
as September then they will show
their animal in next years All

Casa Grande Club
Prepared To Enter
Many Items In Fair

Perha aps Cactus Needle was
chosen for the name OF the first
year All Clothing Club in Casa
Grande because so many fingers
were pricked. Anyway. the needles
seem to be under control now for
hemmed and fringed luncheon
cloths and head scarfs. hemmed tea
towels, and kitchen aprons are all
ready 10 go to the All Fair April
81.
But what took place before these
things were ready to go to the Fair
is another story. First, tools for
sewing had to be collected. What
equipment? Needles, thread tape
measure. pins, scissors, pin cush-
ions, thimble, and thin card board
for making hem markers. Then a
box with a good lid had to be
rousted out of the closet or some
kind clerk talked into finding one.
With the tools in the box and
scrap OF material to pr C tt e,
everything was ready for Friday
afternoon at four o'clock.
The leader of this club, Mrs.
Martha Galley, opened her home to
these girls. Twice a month they
came trooping in as soon as school
was out, boxes in hand.
The first problem was to learn to
baste. To do this a needle must be
threaded, the thread knotted, and
thimble Communicated. That Is
when the finger pricking began.
Pulling threads to get the edge
OF the material straight was an in
teresting job. 1t wasn't so easy to
stitch along this line, but once that
was done, 1t was fun to pull the
threads and make fringes. Mea-
surfing, turning and basting hens
wasn't so easy, but most Of the
The Coolidge examiner., 1946-04-26

girls kept hard at it until it was
done. Sometimes 1t was done two
or three times before II was
straight and ready TO stitch.
Sewing machine needles have a
way OF getting off the edge OF the
hem. So more ripping and more
stitching had to &c done before the
scarf could go to the fair. But at
last. fringed and hemmed head
scarfs. table scarfs. and luncheon
sets are ready for the fair. Aprons
are also ready and will be modelled
in the dress revue at the All Fair.
