Behind the
Scenes In
Politics
By
Clayton
Rusch.
Chairman

A letter appeared last week
in the editors column" of
the Journal which warrants
discussion.
The letter was signed, "a
Real American" and criticized
the Toledo Industrial Union
Council for not accepting the
offer of Joe Sokol, Toledo
Communist leader to speak at
the CIO hall. The writer as
serted that such an act was
a denial of the right of free
speech and inferred that such
a policy was inconsistent with
our fight against laws which
restrict civil rights.
The writer of the protest
obviously erred in his reason
ing, a fact which will become
evident upon a simple analysis
of the points raised in the
letter.
No censorship is justified for
the failure of the writer to
sign his real name. Anyone
has a right to avoid being
misunderstood. AS to the
argument that we can't fight
Communism with Communist
and fascists methods, l am in
clined to agree.
I agree with j. Edgar
Hoover when he said "it
would be a mistake to outlaw
the Communist Party" and
with John Milton who said
Truth needs no safeguards.
She cannot be bested in an
open fight.
ONE FACT
The conclusion that the CIO
is in an inconsistant position
when we condemn laws which
restrict civil liberties and at
the same time deny civil liber-
ties to a representative of a
political party, even the Com
munist Party, would make
sense, except for one import
ant fact.
That fact is, the Toledo
Industrial Union Council has
not denied the right of free
speech to anybody. In fact it
would require a city, state or
national legislative or admin
istrative agency of the govern
ment to abridge the right of
free speech. If the TIUC had
petitioned the local, state or
national government to pre-
vent someone from stating his
case, or the case of his organi-
zation, the contention of "A
Real American" might be ap-
plicable. However, the TIUC
has not in any way attempted
to prevent or even protested
the right of anyone to speak
their piece,
In the case of the repre-
sentative of the communist
party, he certainly has a right
to offer to speak at TIUC
meeting. BY the same token
the TIUC has an equal right
to reject the offer,
The TIUC is not preventing
or trying to revent Joe Sokol
from speaking before groups
who wish to hear him. If
there are any delegates at
present who are new to the
labor movement and are not
familiar with the present line
of the communist party, there
are plenty of opportunities to
receive such information. The
c. P. sponsors open meetings
often and adverties them very
well.
KNOWN
The majority of the dele
gates to the TIUC know the
policies of the c. p. all too
we'll. They know that the line
changes to suit the immediate
needs Of the Soviet dictator
ship. They know that in c. p.

Statements made recently by several To-
ledo employers lead me to hope that the
L-M.C can be maintained and that it will con-
tinue to point way-even to those employ
ers who are frequently at odds with their en-
ployes-to better industrial relations.
Toledo for the past 18 or more months
has attracted the attention and favorable COM
ment of other cities whose labor-manag cement
relations are in many cases, much better than
those existing in Toledo prior to the L-M-C.
VOLUNTARY
There is nothing compulsory in the Toledo
L.M-C plan Those of labor management and
the public who have co.operated in making
the plan work have done so freely. This in
itself should be proof, that given an oppor-
tunity, and provided that the will to cooperate
exists, labor and management can adjust their
problems without being forced into situations
and decisions against their will.
l would be the last one to claim that our
plan has been perfect or even near perfection.
Yet, while the rest of the nation was expert
encing a wave of strikes, Toledo was achiev-
ing an industrial peace it has not known in
many years. The figures tell the story better
than words.
The American people have shown on many
occasions that they do not like to be com.
PEELED to do some things by law They showed
it under the 18th Amendment like they had
not shown it for many years before. Our
people, from the industrialist down to the
sweeper in the factory prefer freedom of
choice rather than being forced by unreason-
able laws,
l am confident that we of the labor move
ment will meet this legal obstacle which has
been placed in the way of industrial peace the
same as we have met the other problems
which we have successfully overcome during
the past years Sooner or later some sane
political thinking will be done on the part of
the American people and this law will go the
way of all other unreasonable laws-into the
discard.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President
Local IL UAW.CIO

It appears to me that the "boom" and
"bust" supporters are not yet ready to have
our economy pulled up to sudden STOP This
conclusion is reached primarily by the reports
of the negotiations between the operato@s and
the United Mine Workers of America. 1t must
be realized that the raise which apparently is
to be given to the miners is being done as a
sort of slap in the face to the Government
which had been trying to hold back pay raises
to these same people regardless of whether
they were deserving of it or not. Certainly,
the coal miners will be delighted with their
new raise and will probably have some feel
ngs against the Government which held con-
troll of the mines up to the end of June.
With a pattern being set now in the coal
fields for raises in pay, it seems inevitable
that other major industries will have to meet
the pattern given to the coal miners In cases
where contracts cannot be opened fear that
productivity will be greatly handicapped. This
will occur due to the loss of some workers
who will seek the higher paying jobs together
with the dissatisfaction of many of those who
remain on their jobs.
Of course the constant jockeying back and
forth of wage patterns, each of which may be
a little higher than the last previous one
tablished, all tends to hold off the day of
reckoning when we will be faced with Sc
rious slump in our whole economy.
Several years ago, in discussion group
When the size or our nalloHdl ueDl was being
discussed, l put forth the thought that even
tually the ratio which existed between wages,
prices, and national debt prior to the war
would eventually be met following the war.
In other words, where the national debt may
have increased to four times its previous size,
then prices and wages would of necessity have
to increase in the same manner, Otherwise, we
would be bankrupt Nation even though we
were the richest in natural resources of any
of the countries in the world
The slump in our economy which l still
feel is not far off viii be but stone in the
road to the ultimate end that l speak of

required all letters to the edi-
tor to be signed.
Aside from that, it seems to
me that this person who wrote
the letter is confused. Free

TIUC was fully justified in re-
fusing to listen to Joe Cokol
or any other Connie for the
same reason that ! think ! am
justified in refusing to listen
to Connie if he meets me

vert me to his way of think
ing.
One thing that Real Amer
lean forgets is that there is an
other freedom that goes along
with freedom of speech and
that is freedom to listen or
not to listen, and freedom to
read or not to read. The TIUC
wants to maintain these two
freedoms and / congratulate
the executive board for taking
the position it would not listen

Flying Saueers

Coming hard upon the heels of the
Tatt-Hartley law, the phenomenon of the
flying saucers has been boon to the
daily press in which they are given more
space than the Taft.Hartley bill received
prior to its passage.
Today, because of the atomic jitters
and the feeling of the people that the ad-
minlstration is not letting them in on the
truth of our international relations, the
flying saucers are not only observed, but
we suspect will become more spectacular
with every new sighting until they, like
our hopes for lasting peace, fizzle out
Meanwhile, let the Saucers fly.

Editors Mail
J.W. Joins Ruseh

In your July 4 issue, a
writer signing himself a "A
REAL AMERICAN" gets all
fused up over the TUGS re-
fusal to let one Joe Sokol
peddle his propaganda wares
in the TIUC hall. He is very
much exercised over this
lie 6 ed violation of free
speech"
This letter intrigues me for
two distinct reasons. First:
why should one who assumes
the title of REAL AMER
ICAN" and stands foursquare
for free speech, feel that he
cannot sign this letter as l
work in a CIO shop and do
not want my position mis-
understood" That isn't my
idea of either real American
ism or free speech.
Secondly: why should this
Joe Sokol, who customarily
hides his whereabouts behind
a box number except when
HE wants to be seen in per-
son, have an audience when
ever and wherever he asks for
1t? Is a preacher denying
free speech" if he refuses his
pulpit to an atheist? Or a
business man w n o refuses
time to some salesman for
line in which he is not inter-
ested?
Personally, l commend the
TUG for declining to furnish
a hall and an audience for this
guy who represents an ism"
that tolerates no freedom Of
speech w h a tever in those
areas where it comes to
power. ! feel that the writer of
the protest letter had not
thought the m tier through
completely.

KNOWN

The majority of the dele
gates to the TIUC know the
policies of the c. p. all too
we'll. They know that the line
changes to suit the immediate
needs of the Soviet dictator
ship. They know that in c. P.
dominated unions the will of
the rank and file has no effect.
They know that the theories of
the CP are as outmoded and
unworkable as those of the en-
trenched monopolists IN ey
obstensibly oppose.
l congratulate "a r e a |
American" upon his sincerity,
but l wish to call to his at
tention the fact that support
of the principle of free speech
only requires that no effort be
made to prevent the speaker
from speaking his piece.
1t does not require that he
be provided with a hall and a
audience.
''The world will beat a path
to the door of the man who
makes a better mousetrap."
Likewise a sound policy
well presented, will insure its
own audience. BY the same
token, pernicious policies how
ever we'll presented will result
in reflections of invitations to
speak.
l believe / am expressing
the sentiments of the Toledo
CIO Council when I say that
Joe Sokol can speak where he
pleases, when he pleases as
long as he pleases just so we
are not forced to listen or pro-
vide him with a hall in which
to speak.

I am not a member of the

appreciate all that it is doing
to support the Toledo League
of Labor Unions in their at
tempts to bring about labor
unity, especially politically.
1t looks like this is going to

gether, and it is my belief
that unless they do, we will
all perish. Keep up the good
work.
