Gallon
Strike


Gallon, Sept. 24-Strike oi
several hundred members o.
the North Electric Co. of this
city continued into its fifth
week here as company off,
cials continued to re ect the
d e m a n d of its employees for
recognition and a contract for
the UAW-CIO selected as their
bargaining agent.
Spirits have been running high
since last week when 100 of the
strikers heard talks by Richard
osser, UAW-CIO regional
director, Edward J. Duck, Inter
n ational UAW representative
and Ollie Pecord, managing edi-
tor of the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL.
In his talk to the North
Electric employees, Directo r
Gosser promised the complete
support of the international
union and urged the strikers to
hold their lines. He discussed
the petitions which were being
circulated by paid employees of
the union to have the company
reopen its plant and the court
injunction case which was
to be heard.
"They can't operate a plant
with petitions. They can't get
production with an injunction.
1t takes men and women to do
that" said the Toledo UAW
leader.
Duck reviewed the history of
the case from the beginning Of
organization and told the work
ers that the company had re-
fused to accept his challenge to
the issues in public. He
waved $100 donated by the
strikers to go to the comapny
o fiji C i a who would publicly
defend the management's posi-
ton, and said, "if the company
doesn't want it, we'll put it in
the welfare fund"
Word was received at the
meeting which was held at
Maccabees Hall here that while
the strikers were attending their
rally that somebody had entered
their picket tent and overturned
A refrigerator.
Picketing has been continued
this week without incident.
Herbert w. Arnold, chairman
Of the strike committee express
ed the view of the workers when
ne said, I'VE are not discouraged.
We are going to see this thing
through if it takes all winter
and we are determined to win" !

were in process on Aug. % when
the Taft-Hartley law became eff.
fective. When both groups re.
fused, Denham found that he
had maneuvered the huge new
with its expanded staff
and enlarged appropriation, into
position where it would be do
ing business with only a handful
of independent unions.
Wait for Conventions
Significantly, Denham-under
fire for his ruling not only from
labor but also from Congressman
set the date back far enough
so that both the AFL and CIO
conventions would be completed.
1t was obvious that he hoped
that the conventions would re-

Toledo Strikes
Are DeodIocked

No break in the deadlock
which has existed in three strikes
of Local IL Units has been re
ported this week. No meetings
were held last week in the strikes
of the Commercial Metals Co.
Ransom and Randolph or Hal
Mfg. Co. according to Lloyo
Speidell, union recording secre-

A tentative meeting between
the management of the Com

the Taft-Hartley law to Oct.
81.
Th e announcement was
made jointly by Denham and the
Board, but it was Denham who
had put the Board in the hole
and several Board members were
known to disagree with Denham' S
Interpretation of the law. Den
ham last month ruled that no
AFL or CIO affiliates could use
NLRB facilities unless top AFL
and CIO officials had already
signed the anti-Communist affi-
daVitS.
Denham'S retreat saved him
from the embarrassing necessity
of fulfilling his own threat to
kick out 5000 pending NLRB
cases by Sept. 80 unless AFL
and CIO chiefs came to heel and
signed the affidavits. The cases

Labor leaders and liberals
are putting the fishy eye on
Attorney General Tom Clark,
who, on one hand, has started
deportation proceedings against
two AFL and CIO officials in
New York, and, on the other
hand, has initiated a series of
belated Investigations into high
prices. On one score labor is
watching Clark carefully: will
he prosecute only smaII-fry

prices and ignore the big mo.

the pattern for criminal price
