Action during the first week
of the convention included a
vote by the delegates endorsing
continued affiliation with the
National Citizens Political Ac-
ti6R Committee. Whitney urged
that step.
There were other political de-
velopments at the convention.
Whitney, earlier in the week,
hailed Pepper as presidential

retary of Commerce Henry Wal
lace resigned his office, at Tru-
mans request, Whitney started

In another statement Whitney
charged that the threatened
transportation crisis resulting
from the alleged lack of freight
cars is largely artificial and can
be prevented. He sent letters to
Col. j. Monroe Johnson, director
of the Office of Defense Trans
portation, and to the Interstate
Commerce Commission asking
them to invoke authority they
now possess to ward off the
threatened crisis.

Poor Ford
Is Relieved

WASHINGTON, Sept. % -
(LPA) - A new Ford, Mercury
or Lincoln car today costs 29%
more than a new car did in
1912, as the result of the fifth
in a series of OPA-approved
price increases granted last
week to the Ford Motor Co.
Under a new hardship" for
mula drawn up by OPA, Ford
cars last week received a So
price boost. General Motors has
asked for a $100 a car increase,
also on the grounds of hard
ship, and other motor companies
are expected to jump on the
band wagon now that Ford has
shown the way.
Complaining that they're los
ing money because they are not
yet in full production, Ford
wants to take this misfortune
out on the car-buyers of the
to the tune of $126 to
500 a car.
Not mentioned in Ford's ap-
plication to OPA was the fact
t at they already have claimed
millions of dollars in federal tax
credits because of this same
hardship" suffered in recon-
version from war to peacetime
production. Both Ford and GIN,
also, are in the best financial
position they have ever been in,
as result of fabulous profits
on their wartime business for
Uncle Sam.
All auto manufacturers have
benefited by the four previous
price boosts, which have
brought prices 229o above the
1912 ceilings for new cars.

pointed out that Mr.. Loop was
seeking to lay down the terms
under which the Automotive
Trades Association would accept
the recommendation, the attor-
.ney maintained his position and
the meeting broke up.
Question of Contract
Principal discussion of the
discussion prior to the decision
of the garage owners to qualify
their acceptance of the LMC of
fer centered around the question
of the legality of the lam con-
tract which was signed July q
following the petition of Local
IL for an NJsRR election 20 de-
termine a bargaining agent for
two of the Automotive Associa-
tion's member garages.
Richard Gosser, UAW direc-
tol and a member of the LMC
Committee, contended that the
contract was illegal since II was
signed before the question of
representation had been settled.
lam officials claimed the con-
tract was proper while Attorney
Loop sought to cite NLRB de-
cisions in an attempt to prove
that no union is permitted to
break up an association.
Accused of Raiding
l A M representative John
Murphy accused the UAW- -CIO
of raiding to which Mr.. Gosser's
retort was that the IAN was
guilty of raiding the UAW-CIO
in other cities" Mr.. Gosser
pointed out that the lam had
not fired anyone in exercise of
the terms of their alleged closed
shop contract.
Murphys reply was that they
had seen fit to wait and see
what developments took place
before taking any drastic action
to enforce the union shop as
called for by their contract.
Caught in the middle of the
dispute coovering garage mech
anics, helpers and apprentices is
the TeamsterS Union-AFL which
represents all other classified
tions in the Automotive Trades
Association membership. The
Teamsters have made no claim
to any of the employees in Weis-
senberger'S and Bauer and Har-
rington in which the UAW-
CIO claims complete jurisdic-
ton.

Die Casters
Have Battle

CLEVELAND, Sept. % (LPA)
The 42nd convention of the
International Union of Mine,
Mill e. Smelter Workers CIO
opened here last week with a
battle over a demand for the
resignation of the unions presi-
dent, Reid Robinson, who was
charged with seeking a personal
loan from company under
contract with the union.
BY vote of 40 to 397 the
500 delegates referred the in
vestigation to the regular ap-
peals committee instead of a
special committee which was
demanded by the unions right
wing leaders. The appeals COM
mittee, according to anti-ad-
ministration leaders, is domi-
mated by Robinson men. The
battle to keep the investigation
away from the appeals commit
tee was headed by John j. Dris-
coll, Of Waterbury, Conn, who
unsuccessfully opposed Robinson
in le42. Rohinsen's administra-
tion was supported by the in
ternational executive board by
the narrow vote OF six to five
with Robinson abstaining.
Ask For Probe
The resolution asking for
creation of a special committee
to probe Robinson's attempted
loan was signed by IL delegates.
The resolution said that "Sev-
eral executive board members
of our international union, con-
tending to have in their posses
sion definite evidence to sup
port their charges, asked the
resignation of President Reid
Robinson because of admitted
dishonorable conduct in seek
ing $4,000 for his personal use
