Strike Aid
Locals And Units To
Collect For Strikes

Collections to aid the striking
workers of the j. l, Case Co.,
Mack Truck and other UAW
strikers were inaugurated In
some UAW.CIO plants here, last
week, it was announced on Labor
Day by Richard Gosser, regional
director.
Mr.. Gosser said that he had
been informed that a few shops
had already started to take up
their collections for the strikers
and that regular weekly collec-
tons would follow in all Auto
Worker plants.
"It is necessary that we give
this cause our financial backing,
because il these strikes are lost,
it will be our loss also," said
Director Gosser. 1--WE are all
aware of the danger which faces
all unions and the efforts which
are now being made to prolong
labor disputes. Our only alterna-
tive now is to support the
strikers and maintain them until
they have won their fight" he
added.

WHY'S Overland d Unit an.
nounced that it will follow the
same plan in aiding the Case and
Mack Truck strikers which it
used in the General Motors col.
lection. It is expected that Local
IL Units will use plan similar
to that used during the G. M.
strike.
Cans for the collection have
been obtained by a large num-
Der of plants and the collections
will be taken up each week. Pro
ceeds derived will be handled
along the same plan which was
used at the time of the GIN work
stoppage.
Local IL has already given
$500 to the strikers and will
follow the same procedure as
previously in handling its strike
fund.

DETROIT, Sept. 3 (LPA)-
The United Auto Workers.CIO
has taken in S1,354,263 in strike
fund contributions since last Dec.
II and distributed $1,338,670,
lUAW Secretary.treasurer George
Adde's reported last week.
To place the union on a pay
as.you.go basis, the UAW slashed
expenses s65,O0O a month and
reduced the number of inter
national representatives by 81
bringing the total down to 331.
A year ago there were more than
440 on the payroll. The cuts were
made to keep the union within
"an income computed on 100000
monthly dues paying members. "
Despite these staff reductions
Adde's declared that the UAW
will still have one of the largest
staffs in the labor movement.
The announcement said that,
Great care was taken to see
that no action was taken which
would impede the progress of the
union or jeopardize the welfare
of the membership. Elimination
of much of the wartime red tape
in labor-management relations
and signing of the majority of
its postwar contracts permitted
the union to carry out these
economies"

a similar amendment to eliminate the PR SYSTEM COun-
clmen Thacher and Czelusta among its greatest
foes with the latter advancing the theory repudated by
the when they elected Judge Stanley Grzeznsk to

This year. Mr.. Thacher asked the Mayor, "why this

the voters?".
Truly times do change.
Perhaps the why everyone confused
