First Labor Man Goes On
Accident Injury Board

Detroit-(FP).-Paul E. Pierce OF
Michigan Public Employe Council n
(AFL) and truckdriver in the city
sanitation division, is the first labor
man to be named to the city's accident
injury board. He belongs to Local 229.
The board analyses accidents to
city-owned equipment and looks after
safety measures. Drivers guilty of ac-
cidents are billed for the damages.
Presence of a labor man on such a
board is calculated to minimize in
justice to drivers in such cases.
Pierce was named by Mayor JEFF
fries, who had the support of most of
the AFL and particularly of the pub
lie employee group in the 1916 election,
while the CIO backed V. Pres. Rich
ard T. Frankensteen of the UAW-CIO.
Frankensteen led Jeffries in the pri-
mary but trailed in the final after
an anti-racial and anti-CIO campaign
by the mayors supporters outside the
AFL that appalled, the Natl. Lawyers
Guild.

80 percent of the 10000 workers

they would file Immediately with the

Various matters of Importance were
discussed and taken care of in the
proper manner.
Bro. Joe Murray gave most inter
esting and explanatory lecture on how
resolutions were handled. 1t seems
some of the younger members were
ignorant of the fact that all resolu-
tions must be passed by their local
union before they are sent to the con-
vention for consideration.
President Brooks appointed Homer

Bob Henning, kilnman, has pur-

the best in Ohio.
