From The Desk
OF
Melvin Schultz
Local II, UAW-ClO
President,

The Spring and Summer Program of the
Local promises to be one of activity in suffi-
cient varied forms to permit everyone place
for participation.
The 3rd Annual Baseball Game sponsored
by Local No. IL will be held at Swayne Field
on August 5th. Each year thousands of our
members participate in this program and
many hundreds of the children in our Com
munity are given free passes so that they may
attend regular League Baseball Game. Ad-
vertising and tickets are being prepared now
and will be available through Shop Stewards
and in various sport centers around town in
the very near future.
In order that we can achieve one of the
most colorful, as we'll as, the biggest Labor
Day Parade which Toledo has ever seen, we
have started already to lay plans and prepare
displays for the parade. Each Unit is request
ed and urged to select one or more of their
members to participate in helping to set up
the Labor Day Parade and Picnic
Again Local No. IL is in the active field
for the young folks who desire to learn mu-
sic. Brother Carmen Broderick is resuming
charge of this program and will give lesSoif1
to children of school age and will develoi1
them toward group playing that a junior
band will be in the field under the banner of
Local No. IL before many months have passed.
A Baseball Team to be placed in the City
Federation is now being organized by Joe
Schuette who did very good job for Local
No. II in the past. We have the biggest Soft
Ball League which has ever played under the
banner of Local No. IL now ready to go into
action.
OF course the best promotion of all for
the benefit of our members and one which
will no doubt overshadow most of our activ-
tiles, is the program of developing a Chill
drens Health Camp.
The converting of the grounds is we'll un-
derway and from all indications will be ready
by the time school leaves out Of course to
take the job of giving an average of 100
kids per day full camp program of recrea-
tion, education and entertainment is no small
task. Further it does give us very heav'
financial responsibility. This must be met and
anyone having spot in their hearts for the
welfare of the youth in our Community will
probably find some way of contributing to
this program / am sure that every child who
has an opportunity to attend the camp will
carry the memories into their adult lives and
will be grateful to everyone who has helped
make this possible,

Some General Motors workers were re
ported disappointed because they won only
l5c-an-hour wage increase. There's perfect
example OF what the editorials mean when
they talk about labors 'selfishress." In grip
ing about the extent of their nav raise the
unionist refused TO take in consideration the
fact that every single one of GINS IA top
executives took a salary cut last year I'm
like 1945 the executives didn't get any
bonuses. Consequently the salary of Alfred
Slona, Jrt chairman of the board dropped to
$196,6l7. The salary of GM President Chas
E. Wilson plummeted to $158,600, and Ex-
ecutive President Albert Bradley started fig
uring up his social security when he was
told that he would have to exc out an exist
ence on $113,775.

Behind the
Scenes In
Politics
by
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman
Political Action Committee

ten by William Healey, Treas
urer of the Lucas County CIO-
PAC.
On April 3Oth there ap-
peared in the Toledo Times a
quarter page ad in support OF
the Taft.Hartley a n d Van
Aiken Bills.
This particular ad typifies
so well the propaganda the
public is now being bonn
barded with. / am going to
quote the ad in full.
HOW ABOUT SOME PRO
PUBLIC LEGISLATION?
You hear a lot of talk these
days about "anti-labor legisla-
ton - measures designed to
curb" or check" or "de'
stroy" labor's power.
Neither the American peo-
pie nor industry wants any
thing of the kind.
What America really needs
is some PRO-Public legisla-
ton. For when the best inter
ests of the public are served,
the best interests of labor and
of industry and of all the
people are served.
The Public Should Be Pro-
tected, by law, against abuses
born of industy,wide bargain
ing-abuses which destroy the
benefits of true collective bar
gaining.
The Public Should Be Pro.
tected, by law, in their jobs
and in their daily lives,
against strikes founded on
feuds between rival unions
strikes which involve no true
conflict between employees
and employers.
The Public Should Be Pro.
tected, by law, in their right
to join a union or not to join
a union-according to each
kers individual con.
science. He should be free of
the yoke imposed by any form
of compulsory union member
ship.
In the interests of all, the
National Association of Manu-
facturers believes that these
issues should be measured by
one yardstick-and one yard
stick only-by how much they
benefit the public.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF MANUFACTURERS.
For a Better Tomorrow
for Everybody.
At long last the sponsors of
the anti.labor legislation have
seen fit to reveal themselves.
For a long time the reac-
tionary politicians refused to
admit that in supporting the
anti.labor bills they were sim
ply carrying out the bidding
of the Chamber of Commerce
and the NAM.
Since they now admit who
their sponsors are, let us exam
inc the position that legisla-
tion designed to destroy the
free labor movement is pro-
public legislation.
That public literally means
the people. Are the people
bankers, big merchants, manu-.
facturers, capitalists and finan-
cierS? Well, maybe one tenth
of one per cent could qualify.
Are the people dirt farmers,
laborerS, shop workers, clerks,
journeymen, sm all business
and professional people? OBJ
viously this group comprises
9996 of the population.
On examination it becomes
quite clear that the workers
comprise sthe majority of the
public. Therefore, the Taft
Hartley and Van Aiken bills
are not only anti-labor, they
are definitely anti.public.
If through a presidential
veto of the anti-labor legisla-
ton we manage to preserve
the American way of life, we
must not be caught mapping
again. Join PAC and add your
efforts to ours.
Mass picketing, under a
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1947-05-16

Mass picketing, under a
new Texas anti-labor law,
consists in having more than
two pickets at any gate of a
plant and having these two
picketS less than so feet apart.
Already Texas businessmen
have discovered a joker in the
law and are bowling in rage
at the manner in which their
brainchild has burned into a
Frankenstein. After a quick
study of the law, unionists
selected a struck store that
had a sidewalk frontage of
less than so feet. Then care
fully observing the new stat
ute they placed one picket in
front of the entranceway of
the struck store and a second
picket so feet away. Both
carried signs saying, This
Company Is Unfair To Un-
organized Labor - Do Not
Patronize." But the second
picket was, by virtue of the
law, in front of a store that
was not struck. Within 48
hours the management of the
second store went screaming
to the legislature to have the
new law amended or re-
voked.

received.
I wish to point out to the
women readers of the UNION
JOURNAL, it was not my in
tention to become a perma'
nent fixture in this column. To
my way of thinking the union
movement has no room for big
shots or conceited tempera-
mentS.
In offering my observation
and admonitions to the Union
women I have only one
though in mind, to awaken
and interest them in a spirit
of cooperation to keep this
union solvent in solidarity.
Regardles of a popular no.
lon that this is mans world,
we can dispute that, and by
the same token neither is this
a mans Union, but move
ment which all may share and
work for.
1t has often been expressed
by our women that the JOUR
NAL lacked a page that could
be read by all members alike.
In accepting space in the pa
per it was my hope that the
foregoing articles would pro-
woke interest and response
from the women so this coll
umn could give way to other
women with their comments
and views; and thereby could
expand to a Women's Page
with features to suit the vari'
Gus tastes of the readers.
appreciate the kindness OF
the editor for alloting the
space and hope the readers
will not let one week go by
without some feature of in
terest to women.
There are a number OF shop
committeewomen and women
stewards who could give help
full advice to the women in in
dustry.
The housewives have so
much to offer also, that In a
short time we could develop
a page we all would look for
ward to reading.

The removal OF Price Con-
trolls did not lower prices that

What with a drop of 41To in

ing absorbed to meet rising

1t would seem that women
would need no great urging
to organize and fight the
threat. We cannot afford to
be tranquil in the face of the
great need to be prepared,

Best Boating Season
In Six Years Is Seen
For D. {. Shippers
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Unmoved by a late spring, Wash
ington yachtsmen are getting ready
for what the experts say will be
the biggest boating season In at
least six years.
Interest In all phases of yachting
and all types of craft is enormous,
according to the boating industry
here. There had been some doubt
that the white heat of interest dis
played at last January's motor boat
show In New York would be main
tanned.
The manufacturers now say that,
barring ss recession In business
generally, there is no reason why it
should not keep up.
Orders fof new boats are far
ahead of deliveries, dealers report.
Some prospective yachtsmen ac-
cordingly may not get afoat for
months. Oldtimers who may be
tempted to sell their craft in the
present high market are reluctant
to do so because Of the steep re-
placement cost, one waterfront
observer reports.
Meanwhile, local yacht clubs are
beginning to stir as members throw
back winter covers and begin annual
fitting-out operations.
Commodore C. C. Jadwin of Co
rinthian Yacht Club reports the
club railway has been rebuilt COM
pletely and is ready to haul mem
bers' boats. The club also Is going
to have a flag pole on the club
lawn-the first in many years.
Dedication ceremonies are being
considered for later this spring.

Yacht Club predicts bury season

have several new boats added to its

WV. Completes
Veteran Survey

Walter Otte, Commander Of
Thomas Hembree Post 1927, an
nounced today the results of the
recent survey held by the V.F.W
on the local veterans situation.
The average veteran is making
about $4,000 per year. He spends
$35 each month for rent. Ninety
eight per cent of the local veter-
ans are now employed. None Of
the veterans have made mention
of any form of union trouble.
Some have reentered schools, 9th
ers are using their G. I. Bill to
build homes.
Though only few own their own
homes at the present time all Of
them wish to when prices become
right.
The main complaint of the vet
eran is the inefficieny in govern
ment bureaus and the high price
of building.
"Kennewick is unique in the
fact that the local veterans stu
alton has had such favorable de-
velopment. Most veterans are in
tending to continue to live in this
area and have favorable outlook
for the future" the report con-
cludeS.
