CIO Heads
Call For
Big Vote

WASHINGTON, October 80
(LPA)-In message of great
urgency" to every member of
the CIO, CIO President Philip
Murray and CIO-PAC Director
Jack Kroll last week called on
every American to go to the
polls and vote on Nov. 5.
"The fact is" the two CIO
leaders wrote, that if the Amer
ican people are not thrust back
again to depression, if we are
to avoid another horrible war,
if our unions are to survive, a
progressive Both Congress must
be elected.
"Our opponents in this cam
paign," the letter continued,
"the reactionaries in both the
Republican and Democratic par
ties, have sought to scare the
American people by a smoke
screen of confusion. Although
they bear responsibility for
whatever confusion and short
ages now exist by their butcher
ing of OPA, housing and other
vital legislation in the 10th
Congress, they seek to place the
blame elsewhere.
"The only way reaction will
be swept aside will be by a huge
outpouring of votes" the mes
sage concluded. The RESPONSE
bility is that of every decent
American, of every decent union
member to go to the polls on
November 5th and vote. And to
help in getting his family,
and friends to also
vote"

No Specific figure was SET
in the wage statement of the
board, other than that sub
stantial wage increases with
employers whose union clauses
have reopening clauses would
be sought, and that the increase
should be adequate to meet
the needs of the workers and
the nation"
Blame for the decision to seek
immediate wage increases was
placed by the UAW board on
"the unholy alliance between big
business and its political hench-
men in Congress- (which) has
finally achieved its purpose in
the complete destruction of eff
fective control on the cost of
living"
Point To Costs
Pointing to the cost of living
figures issued by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the Board stat
ed that "the wrecking of price
controls by Congress has again
left wage rates far behind living
costs, and the disparity existing
is greater than at any time since
1941."

The board also called upon
management to join with the
union in setting up a labor-man-
agement committee in the auto
industry to study possible ways
and means of stabilizing produc-
ton to eliminate or minimize
seasonal layoffs in order to
establish a guaranteed annual
wage.
In its statement on social Sc
curity, the UAW Board express
ed its deep concern with the Sc
curity of the men and women in
the automotive industry and ask
ed for the establishment of a
comprehensive program of in

of an adequate Ma

"The crushing burden of en-
expenditures for hospi-

Evidence that the lam Is

when workers in some of the

Resentment Subdued
Resentment over the action of
the lam in calling a phoney
work stoppage robbing the gar

dollars in wages without a single

Even in shops where the lam
is strong enough to prevent the
workers from talking to CIO or

timent is strongly anti-IAM.
Every effort is being made by
the lam to explain the reason
why it struck the garages in or

Leffies Curbing Card,
In Drive on Top Spot;
Bosox Gain Ground
BY the kssocioted Press

If the st. Louis Cardinals never
see another lefthanded pitcher, it
will be all right with Manager Eddie
Dyer.
During the past four weeks, the
runnerup Redbirds had three
chances to wrest the National
League lead from the Brooklyn
Dodgers and blew them ALL On
each occasion it was a southpaw
who stopped them.
A similar opportunity presented
itself to the Cards last night. The
Dodgers had been beaten by the
Philadelphia Phils, Al, earlier in
the day. While a victory over the
last-place Pittsburgh Pirates in
their own back yard would not have
given the Cards first place, it would
have advanced them to within
percentage points of the top.
So what happened? The Cards
got beat-and by a southpaw to
boot-and are once again two games
behind the Dodgers.
Ken HeintZelman licked them for
the third time this season with a
brilliant two-hit, 80 shutout.
The Boston Red Sox drew first
blood in their important four game
series with the New York Yankees
winning, Al, to increase their
American League lead to 13 games
Joe Di Maggie, who accounted for
the Yanks' lone run with his 18th
homer, strained a nerve in his right
arm with a throw and was forced to
leave the game. He will be out in
definitely.
The Detroit Tigers punched three
of their six hits for a pair of runs
in the second inning and downed
the Chicago White Sox. 81.
The Cincinnati Reds nosed out the
Chicago Cubs. 80.
