Piekets Please Police

CHIcAGO-GPA) - Several
thousand Chicago citizens who
love to go to fires are just
rankled enough this week to see
the advantages of forming their
own union. When a 100000 fire
destroyed a seven-story building
near the center of the Chicago
stockyards, picketing packing
house workers let all the fire
fighting equipment through their
lines. Then they closed ranks
and the several thousand spec
tators had to view the fire at a
distance--much TO the gratifi-
cation OF police and firemen.

just reject those who condemn the citizens for
ecng eves and bond issues We reject these state
because most of those who have made them have
not contributed materially to the progress and welfare OF
Toledo have little pride in this city, and will if and
when the proper time comes pocket the gains they made
here and go elsewhere.
1t is the workers of Toledo who form the backbone OF
this city. II is the workers of Toledo with little no pro-
spects of accumuatng sufficient wealth to move to
Florida, California, New York other places who want
their city to make progress and become place in which
they take pride.
And because it is from the pockets of the workers
that the will be made possible believe that
they should be given the opportunity to express them
selves on the payroll tax.
Should the tax prove to be all that its proponents
it s believe 1t will win the support of the citizens IT,
the other hand the should not prove to be the
cure-a for Ills including lack of civic leadership
confident that nothing will it.
We willing to be convinced by performance, but
unwilling accept tax based upon equality which
does exist in fact until the people OF Toledo they

major strikes should all be

that the majority of industry

see in the settlements which
have already taken place, the
basis for additional wage COM

wage pattern will be set for all

the occurances of the past week.
Everything now depends upon

Guberman Discusses Legislation
David Guberman, labor attor-
ney discussed the three phases
OF social legislation beginning
with the formation of the union
which seeks TO secure better
wages and working conditions in
the plants, the drive for unem-
ployment and industrial COM
pensstion and finally the gen.
eral legislative program aiming
at securing improve social
legislation at the state and ma
tional level.
Mr.. Guberman pointed out
that the means used to secure
general legislation of social
nature was through the efforts
of the Political Action Commit
tee.
A motion was unanimously
passed extending PAC member

age pensioners group.

UAW President r. j. Thomas

Thomas, because, as one of

evils generated by collective
bargaining and we should look
forward to the time when all
federal labor laws will be re-

tinued, 1--WE remained cool all
through the war while most OF
the auto companies were follow

us in the teeth.
We cooled off for 80 days
after the end of the war in an
effort to get GIN to consider a.
wage increase. Oul workers cons

GIN is heating up the press and

Virginia Head

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. %
(LPA) - Virginia's new gover-
nor drew fire from both the CIO
and AFL within a week of his
Inauguration when he asked the
General Assembly last week to
ban union organization of state
and municipal employees.
Gov. William M. Tuck was
denounced by the unions for de-
manding that no public official
be permitted to negotiate or
even recognize grievances of any
group of government employees.
CIO Regional Director Ernest
B. Pugh said that Tuck's stand
would not discourage organiza-
ton but may add impetus to
it,"

There was a bitter fight in

ten leading Democratic Senators

made to emasculate the bill, both
by cutting the Csc figure, and
by making crippling exceptions

their own efforts they have done

steel Is Watched
Even more Importance is now
attached to the steel strike than
to GIN as a result of two of the
big three of the automotive in
dustry settling with the UAW-
ICIO.
There is still some talk in
Washington about the govern
ment taking over the steel plants
unless the strike is settled with
in the next few days. Precedents
for such action have already
been set in both the oil and meat
strikes where the government
took over after striking work.
ers had been unable to reach
wage agreements with the in
dustries effected.
Despite the threat of the gov
ernment taking over the steel
strikes, there is an air of optim-
ism and belief here that the steel
industry will settle with the
Steelworkers before allowing
its plants to be taken under con-
troll by the government.
Question Of Price
While the steel corporation
has not made any new proposal
for settling the strike which has
.idled 100000 steel workers, the
price increase which OPA has
agreed to, $3.50 a ton, is be-
lieved to be sufficient to take
care of the upward wage adjust
ments for which the union will
settle.
Benjamin F. Fairless, presi-
dent of U. S. Steel has spend the
past several days here discussing
various phases of the strike with
government officials. He will go
to New York where other dis
cussions will take place with
steel company officials.
Peace Believed Near
In the light of the almost
complete h ange which has
taken place in the industrial
situation in the past week, hopes
for an early settlement of the
country's major strikes are high
here and elsewhere throughout
the country.

Macarthur Asks
cIO, AFL TO Aid
New jap Unions

WASHINGTON (LPA) Jan
28-( (Exclusive)-The AFL and
lCIO were called upon last week
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur to
aid in the rebuilding of a free
trade union movement in Japan.
The two labor organizations were
asked to select representatives to
join special Labor Commit
tee scheduled to leave for Tokyo
this week to make a 90-day
study Of Japanese social and
economic conditions.
Both the CIO and AFL have
named their representatives but
at weeks end it was not yet GER
tain that the two would be suf-
ficiently free of other work to
make that trip.
The labor men will be part of
group of Is, including govern
ment and research experts, that
will make recommendations on
restoring democratic labor or
ganizations, establishment of a
social security system, forma-
ton of an employment service
and possibly program for re-
distribution of labor surplusses.
Problem of Wages
In addition, the whole prob
lem of wages and its relation to
prices and what remains of price
controls will be explored, ac-
cording to DR. E. j. Eberling,
chairman of the committee.
Chiefly, he said, the mission
will be a technical one designed
to lay the groundwork for re-
storation of healthy Japanese
economy.
Political freedom, which the
japanese are obtaining in in
creasing quantities, has been ac-
companied in recent months by
a real growth of free trade
unionism which has made re-
markable strides, declared Eber-
ling who is a professor of labor
economics on leave from Van
derbilt University.
JapS Have Problems
Japan is now beset by myriad
problems whose impact was felt
hardly at all in the u. S. and
England, he continued. One of
these problems has grown out
of the Allied de-industrialzation
program, which has already left
hundreds of thousands jobleSs. 1t
may be necessary, Eberling said,
to redistribute labor surplusses
(Tokyo alone has more than
10000 unemployed) from for
mer industrial areas into rural
and agricultural sections.
Zone of the most interesting
results of American influence in
Japan" said Eberling, "nay be
whether Japanese labor adopts
American patterns o. unionism
or evolves a type of organiza-
ton preculiar to its own history
and traditions.
