Case Strikers
Issue Paper

RACINE, Wis, August 81
Employees of the j. l. Case Co.
of this city who have been on
strike for over eight months are
issuing their own four page tab
loid newspaper "Our Case," ex-
planning their strike to the
public and showing the un-
reasonable position taken by the
company management.
Expressing the determination
to live as free men, the strikers
paper explains how the head of
the Case Co. has said no to their
every request. The situation
which has developed there dates
back to the War Labor Board
when the company management
refused to obey board directives
and recommendations.
Among other things rejected
by the company according to the
union paper, the company re-
fused to accept arbitration in
principle and refused to change
its attitude.
The strike was called when
the company refused to sign a
contract and the workers, mem
bers of the UAW-CIO have
refused to return to their jobs
until a contract is completed.

circles.
One section of the registration
requires the lobbyist to list "the
names of any papers, periodicals,
magazines or other publications
in which he has caused to be
published any articles or editor

Commerce, big business daily,
detailed these fears in a lengthy
story headlined, Trade, Indus

preston" The freedom of the

mary of the basic issues involved

Paid lobbyists and per-

DIRECTOR REGION 2,B
UAW> >CIO

In reviewing the events that
have occurred since Labor Day
1s45, am impressed with
the way that the labor move
ment has maintained itself in the
face of the strong opposition
which it has received from many
corporations, from Congress,
from state legislatures and even
from the federal administration
itself.
Labor's progress has not
reached the point where any OF
us can afford to say that we are
satisfied, or to cease our efforts
to obtain the things upon which
we have set our hearts and to
which we rededicats ourselves
each year on Labor Day.
Last year our concern was
Jobs at decent living wages for
ourselves and the thousands OF
veterans who were returning to
civilian life to resume their
normal places in the various
communities of the nation.
We know now that the full
employment bill upon which we
insisted was turned into a bill
which falls short of our wishes
and needs. We have seen Con-
gress turn down a national un-
employment bill which would
give the unemployed of the ma
ton $25 for 26 weeks.
We have seen reactionary Con-
gressmen ignore the health of
the nation and return to their
home districts without giving
any real consideration to the
Murray-W Wagner-Dingell bill to
provide the people of this coun-
try with lost cost medical care.
We have seen the crying need
for housing ignored by a Con-
gress which is more interested
in maintaining its political posi-
ton than it is in the welfare of
the nation.
OPA FIGHT
Worst of all, we have just
gone through a fight to maintain
the OPA, while Congress, stick
ing to It's position that property
rights are more sacred and more
important than human rights

prices rise unreasonably and
they are scarce.
To Announce List
The first list of agricultural
products in scarce supply -
therefore under the new law
subject to OPA control-will be
announced by Agriculture Sec
retary Anderson on Sept. I
Awaited anxiously, this list will
be the tip-off as to how extern
sive controls of foods and tex-
tiles will be in coming months.
Any item which Anderson does
not certify as being scarce must
be removed from controls by
OPA.

Present indications are that
this years parade will compare
favorably with any ever held in
this city by CIO. Reports from
Local Unions and Units affiliated
with the Toledo Industrial Union
Council show greater enthusiasm
for the parade this year than for
several past years and union
officials expect a better than
average turnout.
