In Line with its drive to get
out large vote for the Novem-
Der election, the Toledo Political
Action Committee this week
passed out large handbill to all
shops urging all CIO members
to register.
Headed with "a World of
Peace and Plenty Can Only Be
Secured Through Political Ac-
tion," the handbill takes the CIO
position that the 10th Congress
and state legislatures destroyed
and diluted progressive bills
which would have aided labor
had they been passed and calls
upon the workers to register
and vote in order to change the
political picture.

ers on New York's municipality
owned transit systems from 81
to $1.20 an hour have been pro-
posed by an impartial commits
sion. The commissions appoint
ment by Mayor O'Dwyer last
February ended threats by the

to tie up the system.
Austin Hogan, president Of
Local 100 of the TWU, asked
that the proposed pay raises be
put into effect Immediately, and,
as the commission proposed, be
made retroactive to July l.
The question of the right of
employees to strike
was skirted by the commission,
and, in place of the CIO un-
ions closed shop demand, pro-
posals were made for elections
to determine whether AFL or
CIOO should represent workers
in various units, with yearly ne
gotiations instituted with the

Dates for representation cleo

NLRB in recent hearings.
Remington Arms employees

in order to permit all shifts an
opportunity to express their pref
erence.
Watchmen of the E lectri c

their votes Oct. /.
Opposition to the watchmen
becoming a part of Local 533,
.UAW-CIO, plant production
workers, has been expressed by
the company management who
are requesting a hearing to bar
these employees from the estab-
lished Local. The union contends
that the watchmen who have
been demilitarized should be a
part of the established Local and

to consist of a separate Unit.
The bal,oting on Oct. l will
probably be a pre-hearing cleo

made by the NLRB relative to
the appropriate unit.

McKeIIar Is
Accused By
PAC Candidate

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-
LPA)-An election "conspir-
acy" to turn over Tennessee's IL
electoral votes to the Republican
Party was charged last week
against Sen. Kenneth Mcclellan
ID. Tenn by his CIO-PAC sup
ported opponent in the pra-
maries.
Edward w. Carmack, who
finished second to McKellar in
the primaries last month, linked
the states political boss, Ed
Crump, with McKelar and Sen.
Robert Taft (R. Ohio) and the
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, B. Carroll
Reece, in the plot.
The charge came just five
days after the Senate Campaign
Investigating Committee decided
unanimously to inquire into the
primary victories of both Nc
Kellar and Sen. Theodore Bibo
I'd. Miss.). Carmack contended
that McKellar and Crump had
spent far in excess of the
$4,000 expenditures permitted
by Tennessee law.
1.-THE first payment on this
deal" according to Carmack,
occurred when Crump, vaca-
tioning at Saratoga Springs,
N. Y, declared that the Repu-
blican Party would sweep the
country in 1948, thus making
his initial contribution to the
Republican morale of the coun-
try"
Carmack cited as part of the
conspiracy the fact that eastern
Tennessee provided McKelar its
largest Republican vote in his
tory through Democratic pri-
maries. Much of this voting. he
contended, was done illegally.

Butter. Cheese
May Be Again
Controlled

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is -
(LPA) - The rapidly rising
prices of milk, butter, and
cheese, have led the Price De-
control Board to announce that
it Is again considering whether
to reimpose price ceilings on
dairy products. Labor and con-
sumner groups have announced
their intentions of fighting hard
to get controls back on these
products, so essential to the
health of every American family.
Butter sold at the highest
prices in 25 years, in many
cities, and milk prices rose
steadily, as milk producers in
several areas received price in
creases. In Washington, milk has
gone up SC a quart in about
three months.
Food prices continued to ad-
vance slowly during the last two
weeks of August and the first
week in September" despite the
resumption of some controls, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported last week.
Meanwhile, last week, OPA
granted more price increases, in
cluding 1c to &c for 5 pounds
for flour, up to Is per cent on
knit underwear, nightwear and
cotton hosiery in the low price
ranges, and increases as much
as Is per cent up to a cutoff"
point on fans, irons, toasters,
and bowl-type heaters.
