Now that the national wage pattern has been
set following agreement between steel, cleo
trical and major automobile plants, it is our
intention to Immediately step out for the same
increases based on the pattern
Negotiations are already under way at
Willys-Overland Spicer and many other Toledo
plants as well as others throughout Region 2-B
to secure the increases recently granted in the
major key industries. 1t is my belief that we
can complete the majority of these negotiations
within the next two weeks in Toledo and in
short time in the other parts of the Region.
Under no circumstances will the Social
Security or Retirement fund clause proposed
by the union be closed We expect to discuss
both as open subjects without violating our
contract.
1 cannot let this opportunity pass again
reminding those who will benefit by the wage
increases that will be given in the immediate
future that these increases will mean very
little unless there is a marked cut in prices.
It is true that we may benefit very slightly
but if prices continue to remain where they
are or go up, even a trifle, we Will be as bad
off as we were before the wage raises were
given and will eventually end up in the
depression about which labor has been warn
ing the nation for months.
would also like to compliment those far
sighted employers who have granted interim
wage increases awaiting the settlement of the
national pattern. They have made contribu-
ton to maintaining our economoy and shown
their willingness to deal in good faith with
their workers. l do not have the least doubt
that they will now meet the pattern as they
agreed they would at the time they gave
interim increases.
Our real task after wages is to see that they
mean something We must now turn our atten-
ton to the price structure and set it so that we
can live within our incomes.

From TheDesk
OF
Melvin Schultz
Local II, UAW-ClO
President,

The situation in Toledo relative to In
creases in pay which will be the equivalent
or comparable to the national pattern is now
To point where every Management should
stop irving to stall and delay negotiations
The delays being caused through party
bickering and deliberate attempts to chisel
below the national pattern will cause labor
strife in our Community. This present situa'
ton cannot long continue without workers De.
coming perturbed to the point of walking OIL
their Jobs. Many companies who have entered
into negotiations in the past several months
have taken the attitude that they will concede
whatever is established as a national pattern,
vet now they are attempting to delay under
other issues.
AT the end of the War, leaders of Industry
and Labor were foresighted enough to see
that labor strife in Toldo would accomplish
little for the Community and would probably
mean an exodus of jobs for workers from our
town. We have come through a trying two
wear period and now are facing no less
problem than was faced then think 1t Should
be with regret that leaders of Industry who
helped solve the problem of the past two
years have not as yet, seen fit to attempt TO
perpetuate our Community on similar fair
dealing basis for the years to come. The
crisis is now facing them. Every worker in
every job is not only deserving of the 10 cents
per hour increase but Is rightly entitled to it.
They have not forced their ManagementS to
pioneer in setting pattern and should not
suffer because of their sense of fairness.
There is still lot of publicity on the
matter of cutting prices, but very little action.
Anyone with sense of good sound reasoning,
who looks over the advertising of sales, will
note that most of these are sales of wartime
merchandise, out of season stock, or some
similar good reason for not carrying them
in their inventories. They do not, in the least,
indicate that reduction in prices is actually
taking place. No less than 2312 cents per
hour should properly be given to the en-
ployees in order to bring them up to a stand
ard which would enable them to continue to
buy merchandise at present prices. There Is:
however, national pattern set elsewhere ir
our Country which has its dominating in.
fluence on our Community and we are; there
fore, limited to the extent of the national
pattern.

There's nothing in our current economic
life more intriguing than the big business
theory that what the nation needs is greater
productivity while prices are being lacked so
high that no-one can buy the products. Re-
member the story of the little moron?
Well this little moron and his little moron
helpers were building a house, see? So the
little moron went to the boss and asked him
If they should built 1t from the top down or
from the bottom up. Why. build it from the
bottom UP, of course!" the boss replied The
little moron turned and yelled to his helpers:
Tear er down, boys! We gotta start all
over!"

LaborReport
By BRADFORD v. CARTER
LPA COIumnist

AS matters stand now, un-
less the Republican controlled
Congress undergoes a revolu-
tionary upheaval, it is safe to
say that, both in 1947 and
more important in 1948, the
Republicans will be over
Whelmingly repudiated.
It will be the same kind OF
vote that thrust the Democrats
out of Congressional control
in 1946 protest vote.
What the voters will be doing
Is to repudiate the Republi-
cans, rather than supporting
the Democrats, since Mr.. Tru-
man has been sitting by quiet
ly and letting the Republicans
hang themselves with nooses
of their own making.
The most vulnerable breach
in the armor of Senator Taft
and his associates is the price
profit situation in the Ameri-
can economy. The voters, even
now, are associating the spir-
aling of prices and profits
with the actions of the Re-
publicans. SO ber business
commentators are making no
bones about the fact that
closely related in the thinking
of the American people are
industry's clamor for higher
prices last year, the scuttling
of price control, and the profit
reports of this year.
While the price control
shenaningans of 1946 reacted
against the Truman admins
tration, the record-smashing
prices and profits of 1946 are
reacting against the Republi-
cans - at least in the minds
of the voters.
ANTI-LABOR
Secondly, the pathological
treatment of labor legislation
by the Republicans will get
the labor vote out as nothing
did in 1916. 1t is no secret that
the political indifference of
the rank and file union mem
Der and his family accounted
in large part fof the Congress
sional defeats of the Truman
administration last year. Can
any policy be more calculated
to get out the labor vote than
that of the Republicans?
Another count which the
voters will include in their
indictment will be the Lillien-
thai nomination and the way
it was handled by the Senate.
1t Is fairly certain that those
voters who have given any
though at all to that perform
ance were repelled by its in
decency.
In the field of foreign af-
fairs the Republican Congress
has been following the lead
Of the Truman administration
and can claim no party line of
lis own. Indeed, the Republi-
can who has come out as the
most intelligent leader has
been Arthur Vandenberg of
Michigan. And Vandenbergs
keynote has been one of mod
Grafton.
The irony of the situation
is, of course, that the South
ern Democrats with few eX-
ceptions have been as violent
as the Republicans. But it is a
reasonable prediction that the
voters will tax the Republi-
can leadership with the major
responsibility for the current
debacle and will vote accord
ingly.

Oben Letter
ToToledo
Legislators

in this State or ONO.
Gentlemen:
AS a former banker with 10
years experience in leading
banks of Toledo and Is years
experience in industrial shops,
believe, l am qualified to
speak in behalf of labor; labor
problems and it's future well
fare.
You may be informed that
we workers know what the
score is when it comes to la
Dor problems, locally, nation
ally and internationally. The
worker of yesterday, nor, the
worker of today, is not the
worker of 20 years ago. The
worker of today comes from
the high schools, colleges and
universities of the nation. He
will not stand idly by if you
try to push him around or
deprive him of prerogatives
that are afforded him in the
Bill of Rights as we'll as The
Constitution of the United
States. His forefathers fought
for these things at Valley
Forge. His grandfather and
father in wars since then, and
he himself in the last Word
War.
further state for your in
formation that the worker of
today does not tile himself to
any political party, but will
support candidates of either
party, who will support labor
100 per cent, because, the
workers must have a repon-
sible candidate upon whom
they can rely, to bring a de-
cent living to their families
in this land of plenty.
We workers of Lucas Coun-
ty want the Republicans to
know that we understood the
signs that carried their logan:
Had enough?" We workers
did have nearly enough un.
der the Liberalism of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt. Work.
ers gained more during
F.D.R.'s, administration than
they did in the 81 previous
years, or ever since the time
of President Lincoln.
We workers of today are
also trained in the art of pro-
cessing or applying psychol-
ogy. We have voted Repub-
lican not because 1--WE had
enough" as you interpret it,
but because we workers want
to march in unity with pro-
gress and achievement and
share in the record breaking
profits of industry, and not for
a mere subsistence.
! ask you Gentlemen of the
Legislature to convey mes
sage from the workers of To-
ledo, to your colleagues in
Columbus, Washington and
elsewhere, that we workers
are watching them in their
acts and votes on labor legis-
lation. Remind them that the
pen is mightier than the
sword and ballots deadlier
than bullets. We workers will
stand united and we do not
intend to leave a stone un-
turned. AS our regional direc-
tor, Brother Gosser stated in
one of his editorials; 1--WE
must face the future with
courage and confidence and
must 60 forward, not back
ward as some of our legisla-
tors want us to do, in unity
toward the goal of greater
security for all workers"
AS Confucius said: He that
expects his ship to come in
must first send one out" Our
silent Brother f. d. r., sent
one out. We workers shall
keep the light of vigilance
burning until it's safe return.
In conclusion we with you will
adhere to the rhyme below!
From the worker you must
not take away
But learn to give
BY doing this you will stave
off communism
And let Democracy prosper
and live.

There are plenty of Con-
gressmen who have made up
their minds that they'd never
pass legislation specifically
designed to ban telephone
strikes. In fact, some of them
are privately in favor of the
current strike continuing for
a while and maybe a regular
strike once a year. The rea-
SOM They're not getting one
tenth the phone calls from
their constituents they usual
ly do. Incoming calls at the
Capitol have dropped from
1000 to 100 daily. That gives
them more time to read edi-
torials complaining about the
telephone strike.
Our favorite story illus
trates the type of service
we've been getting from the
so-called supervisory EN-
ployes who have been man
ming the switchboards. A st.

to put through a call about
