the things which we have al
ready won," he said.

and the pledge given that Local
IL, UAW-CIO, would give $10,-
600 to the strikers. Shops rep
resented also said that they
would take up weekly collec-
tions to support the strikers, the
same as they did during the GIN

was given when a recommenda-
ton was voted upon to give the
parade fines collected for Labor

In effect, the CIO vice
presidents and delegates as
sembled from CIO state and

the country gave the administra-

ceilings back on items not now
under price control, and in roll

In addition to calling for real

posed here by the CIO, Sec.
retary- Treasurer Lavelle stated
the view that CIO would oppose
extension of the tax throughogj
the other cities of the state on
the same grounds that the To-
ledo CIO used in its fight early
this spring.
Columbus Is Interested
Latest to look at Toledo pay

is Columbus, which despite the
fact that its people have voted
for many tax levies still finds it.
self in what is considered to be
an unfavorable financial situa-
ton.
Toledo delegates to the con-
Vention will very likely to go
along with making opposition to
payroll taxes a matter of policy
for the Ohio CIO Council.
CLOS efforts to enlist the
state legislature to pass more
liberal financial grants to the
aged and to increase unemploy-
ment compensation to $25 for 26
weeks already demanded by
state CIO heads in Columbus
will secure the backing of the
delegates whose organizations
have been actively engaged in
supporting liberalizing of old
age, industrial and unemploy-
ment compensation.
To Plan Campaign
Most important of all will be
the political setup in the fall
election with state PAC leaders
and delegates planning a cam
paign to eliminate congressman
who have voted against labor
and to elect those who have
pledged themselves to support

legislation.
Many Toledo Unions and

Criticize DecOntrOI

The statements adopted by
CIO, advancing its official posi-
ton on prices and on wage con-
trolls, criticized the OPA for its
decontrol program before the
passage of the new, weaker
price control law, and for its
laxity in administering the
price control regulations which
were kept in force. Since the
new law was adopted, the CIO
leaders were told in a report
read by secretary-treasurer
James Carey, the situation has

week it took testimony, the
board listened to represen-
tatiyes Of dozens of indus
try groups asking for the
right to fix higher prices with
out interference from the gov
ernment and OPA.
The board also heard repre-
sentatives Of labor and consum-
er organizations demand that the
government do everything pos
sible to stop the upward rush of
the cost of living.
On August Is, the Board
went into executive session to
review the information and ar
guments it received for decon-
troll and strengthening of con-
trolls. The Board was working
under pressure, because it must
decide shortly whether to bring
back meat and dairy products,
cotton seed, soybeans, grains and
feed products under price control.
While the deadline set by
the present price control law is
August 20, the board must make
its decision on meat as early as
possible, so that feed-lot opera
tors who fatten cattle for sale
may know what prices they can
safely pay for cattle which
would be sold after August 20.
Unions Ask Control
During the last two days Of
the session, the Board heard
AFL and CIO testimony asking
that price controls be put back
on all commodities under the
Boards jurisdiction. Earlier in
the week, it had heard from
other representatives of labor,
members of the OPA Labor
Policy Committee, who discussed
the need for price control on each
of the commodities being con-
sidered by the Board.
Even while the hearings were
going on and industry represen-
tatives were telling the Board
that the nation would be better
off without price control, con-
sumers were being asked 10 pay
higher prices and the cost of liv-
ing continued to 60 up.
OPA announced increases in
the prices of goods ranging from
window shades to electric stoves.
Further increases in clothing
prices were predicted by Paul
Porter, head of the OPA, and
continued food price increases
were reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. On food prices,
also, consumers were warned
that the increases currently TAX
ing place on wholesale levels
and in the food markets would
mean even greater rises in retail
prices in the near future.
OPA Announces Cost
Particular emphasis to the po-
sition taken by labor in demand
ing continued controls on food
items was given by an an
that price increases
will cost the public an extra
S15O,000,00O annually.
Unexpected support for the
position by the labor spokesmen
who were demanding strong
price control came from the
heads of the Wage Stabilization
Board. In a letter to the board
signed by Willard Wirtz and
Phillips L. Garman, chairman
and vice-chairman of WSB, the
Price Decontrol Board was told
prices had to be held or wage
ceilings cannot be maintained.
Unless there is clear notice that
the stabilization purpose is to
be carried out on all fronts" the
letter warned, 'it can be effec-
tive on none"
In spite of past wage hikes,
the letter pointed out, take home
pay has actually fallen by 80
since April, 1945. This drop
was due to the cut in the work
week in the industries in which
wage increases were made.
