Record Breaking Registration
Aided By CIO Political Group
Thank Homer
For This One

WASHINGTON, October 10
(LPA)-You can thank your
Congressman for the fact that
cotton textile products are now
22% or 239o higher in price
than they were before the cur
rent Price Control Act was pass
ed last summer.
Urged on by Senators from
the cotton-producing states, Con-
gress approved on amendment
tying the price of cotton textiles
to the price of raw cotton, which
is uncontrolled.
AS a result of Congressional
action, there have been four
price boosts for cotton textiles
since the beginning of August,
the last one being made last
week to bring prices at retail up
to the raw cotton price for Sep
tember. In addition, mills that
have granted pay boost won
by unions for a large part of the
industry are entitled to fifth
price increase of 30, OPA has
ruled.
A warning that progress in
producing the needed quantity
of cloth for sheets and clothing
and industrial uses may be in
vain was made last week by Re-
conversion Director John Steel
man. "The danger" Steelman
asserted, is that prices of cot
ton cloth and apparel may get
out of reach of the average con-
sumer, who is already expert
encing difficulty in finding mod
ornate priced clothing"
"a considerable amount of
yardage that has been withheld
for one reason or another during
the past months will now be re-
leased" it was reported in the
Journal of Commerce last week
Industry spokesmen expressed
themselves as being thoroughly
satisfied with the % % price rise,
which they count on to net them
the highest profits in the history
of the industry.

for months, the strike vote
was taken by secret ballot.
Richard Gosser, UAW regional
director, attended the meeting
and spoke briefly. He told the
Unit members that the Interna-
tional Board had had the organ
izstion of all unorganized Auto
Lite plants in the corporation
under consideration for some
time and promised his aid in
getting the organization of the
corporation completed.
Quotes UAW Constitution
Director Gosser quoted the In
ternational UAW-CIO Constitu-
ton dealing with strike sane
tions and asked the membership
not to Jump the gun," but to
comply with the Smith -Connally
Act, which requires a 30-day
cooling-off period.
Chairman Begg assured Di-
rector Gosser that the Unit
would comply fully with the law
and would not stage any unau-
thorized strikes.
Unanimously passed by the
Unit membership was resolu-
ton calling upon top UAW-CIO
officers to complete organization
of Auto-Lite Corporation plants.
Woodstock Workers Present
Present at the special meet
ing were five girl employees of
the Auto-Lite Woodstock, Ill,
plant who were discharged for
union activities during the re-

XXX Funds MoY
Be Token Over

ATLANTA, GA, OCTOBER lU
(LPA)-Evidence was submitted
to the Collector of Internal Rev
enue here last week that there
are assets owned by the Ku
Klux Klan which can be attach
ed for payment on the $685., 900
taxes the xxx owes the U. S.
The evidence submitted by
Kenneth Douty, Georgia State
Director of the Textile Workers
Union of America-CIO, reveals
that on Sept. "a a check for
$1,000 was mailed to the Klan's
secretary, Attorney Morgan Bel
ser of Atlanta, by Attorney Sam
ser of Atlanta, by Attorney
Samuel Gordon of Philadelphia.
The check was in settlement of
property bequeathed the Klan
by a Mr.. and Mrs. Ball who
died in Philadelphia in 1914.
Additional evidence showed
that while the national office of
the Klan claimed to be out of
business it lost no time in claim
ing the property left to it. The
will provided that the property
was to go to the Philadelphia
William Penn Klan No. 359,
with the proviso that if that
branch went out of existence,
the property was to go to the
national office of the xxx.
Belser, who is also a member
of the board of directors of the
Klan, wrote to Gordon, eXecu-
tor of the estate, demanding that
the property be handed over to
the xxx.
Gordon asked for and got let
ters from Belser and Imperial
Wizard James A. Colescott af-
firming the existence of the
Klan, He also received from
Belser a copy of a resolution
adopted by the Klan's board of
directors on March %, author
izing BelSer and Colescott to
accept payment of the $1,000 on
behalf of the Klan.

LMC To Study
Garage Strike
Situation Unchanged
PickefS Withdrawn

Members of the Toledo Labor
Management Citizens Committee
holding their regular full COM
mittee meeting on Thursday af-
ternoon of this week will discuss
the lam strike which has closed
the 33 member shops of the To-
ledo Automotive Trades Associa-
ton.
Efforts of the L-M-C to find
a. satisfactory solution to the
jurisdictional dispute between
Local IL, UAW-CIO and the
LAM proved fruitless when the
TATA rejected an L-M-C pro-
posal to abide by whatever re-
commentator the committee
would make to settle the dis
pute.
Garages which were closed by
the TATA when the lam threw
picket lines around several
downtown salesrooms will re-
main closed according to a de-
cision made on Tuesday after
noon at a meeting of the Auto
motive Trades Association.
Local IL, UAW-CIO which
claims 100 percent membership
in two of the closed garages and
many members in the other TA-
IA member shops has requested
an election in the two garages.
The Automotive Trades Asso-
citation r jected the demand
on the grounds that it will not
do business with separate un-
ions, while the lam claimed to
hold a contract with the Asso-
citation covering all Toledo gar
ages.
The strike was called follow
ing rejection by the Association
of the LMC's offer.
Picket lines have been with
drawn by the lam from all
garages which are displaying
CLOSED" signs in their front
windows.
Richard Gosser, UAW CIO
regional director and a member
of the LMC last week expressed
the view that Weissenberger
and Bauer & Harrington should
reopen their salesrooms and
shops since their employees were
all members of the Auto Work
ers.
Independent garages which
have been sorely pressed for
parts decided this week to re-
main open despite the shortages
and do whatever repair work
possible.

ClAlne numerous reasons oaualne Increased welfare departmental costa Henry | Begnal superlnsen. dent of the cityS welfare Depart. ment yesterday was granted an In. crease of sss.Ooo for his ipas budget by the Beard of Finance, The Board met at ( 2. N. in the City ffal.
 For the Flfet nine months of this year the total number of persons serviced by the department was an Increase of five times over the sim. lar period of lelb, Mr, Begnal re- ported.
 me following are the reasons for the increase according to the su. perintendents report.
 |, For the first 9 month period Of lvle, e,sSs persons were aided as compared to 1891 during the same period of lp4s.
 q. A total of ie0 cases represent. ing As5 persons were handled dur ing September i0te as compared to the September iDsb case load of pS representing 206 persons,
 3. Of Se eases opened in 8epteIn- Der le16 only ls were closed as compared to similar activities of the same ieas period when of the % cases open 2l were closed. This longer-tlsne care necessarily in- creaSes glepartmental costs. The rea- son behind the longer period Is seen as a result, Of the increased living costs. An example of the latter Is shown in the report detailing the cost of i,2ia quarts of milk in Sept ember ieas costing ele3 (S.i6 per Quart) whereas this year in Septem- Der a total of 2,es0 quarts con- sumed at a cost of S5e0.
 5. Hastily entered war marriages now are tending to dlsintegrate uIl- der the daily stress of civilian live ing.
 6. Clients cannot now be moved into low-cost housing because of the Shortage which raises the costs of the department
 MT. Begnal said last night, when discussing the matter, that as far as he could ascertain, no persons were carried on relief at this time, who could be gainfully employed at some means of self Cessation of high wartime wages and overtime pay, was ail- other reason for the increased casts, MT. Begnal said.
 During periods of full employ ment and high wages. many fam lilies were able to assume complete responsibility for the care of rela- tives in institutions. which care the city is now assuming in some hard ship cases" the report revealed.
