Blade Transfer


in their work even though they
do belong to a union"
In conclusion, the CIO editor
stated that, THE Blade has been
fair in its coverage of labor
news, but it is unfair to its own
union employees"
Burke States Problem
Commenting on the Coakley
case, Tom Burke, TIUC execu-
tive secretary said that CIO in
years past had not permitted
private employees to discriminate
against union employees and cited
instances of this occurring. He
said that "the Coakley case is
the most important problem con-
fronting the CIO today. If any
other employer in the city took
such action, we would know
what to do. We have done it
before"
Charges TIL Violation
Lawrence N. Steinberg, Ohio
director of Retail, Wholesale &
Department Store Union-CIO,
charged that the Blade which
had supported the Taft-Hartley
bill had violated 1t in its dis
criminatory action against Miss
Coakley.
Madelle A ddes, Auto-Lite
delegate inquired If all CIO
members cancelling their sub
scriptions to the Blade would
have any effect upon the case.
Joseph Ditzel, Lacol IA UAW-
CIO delegate in reply said that
he doubted the efficacy of such
easure and questioned
whether it could be accomplish
ed because BLADE readers are
so attached to the comics"
Reported State News
In reply to a question from
Walter Murphy, UAW-CIO
international representative ask
ing if Miss Coakley wrote labor
news, Vincent Ullman, chairman
of the Guilds grievance COM
mittee answered:
THE only labor news Miss
Coakley writes is when pigs
have a litter. He said that the
issue involved the Guild taking
the position that the Blade
management cannot tell us
where we can go when we are
not working"
A committee from the Toledo
Newspaper Guild composed of
Helen Orcutt, TING secretary;
Norval Ayers, member of the
grievance committee and Ed
ward Tally, a member of the
Guild were present at the meet
ing.
Resolution To Be Sent
Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to Paul Block, Jr.,
William Block, Blade co-pub-
Usher; Toledo Newspaper Guild,
American Newspaper Gui d,
Toledo Labor Management Citi-
zens Committee, the national
and state CIO bodies and to all
international unions affiliated
with the TIUC.
Miss Coakley was transferred,
July Is from the state desk to
the Blades reference library
following the Blades objection
to employees of its editorial staff
being associated with outside
business, labor or .political !
organizations. I e newspaper

last month following her cleo
tion to TIUC recording secretary.
Following the Guilds rejection
Of the grievance on the grounds
that II would be a violation of

A grievance was filed by the
Guild after the Coakley transfer
had been rejected by the pub
lisher's committee, at which
time the case was then referred
by the Guild to the NLRB for
action.

For Taft Proof"
Contract Clause
Continued from Page l

DETROIT, July 80 UPA)
Seven thousand CIO auto
workers walked off their jobs
here last week in the first
strike to win "Taft-proof"
clauses in a union agreement.
In a test of UAW.CIO policy
to protect union members from
the evils of the Taft Hartley
law" Local 2 shut down two
plants of the Murray Corp. of
America when the management
refused to agree to contract
clauses similar to provisions re-
Gently won for the AFL miners
by John l.. Lewis.
Local President Lloyd Jones
said union negotiators had been
near agreement with the com
pany except for the "Taft.proof'
provisions.
First contract in the Detroit
area ignoring the new NLRB
and protecting the union from
financial liability for strikes
was signed by the UAW last
week with the Spine Gear Co,
With Murray Corp. a major
supplier of parts, the strike may
soon affect production at other
auto plants.

the camp is one of the greatest
things the union has ever done

issues, the Executive Council of.
the International Association of
Machinists requested reopening

and equal status with all other

In the largest referendum vote
in their history the Machinists
have voted approximately three
to two against returning to the
AFL until demands have been
met. The now unaffiliated union
has membership of 100000. It's
addition to the AFL would give
that body more than its sought

Reilly, former NLRB member,
who helped draft the Taft

Denham also went so far as
to say that he would not have
any man on his staff who was
not in sympathy with the law
The hearing also brought out
the fact that much of Denham'
career was devoted to financial
affairs and bank liquidations.

he added significantly: Laws

agement."
Opposition centered primarily
on former Senator Murdock, be-
cause of his long record as a
progressive and his friendliness
to labor. He was subjected to
long griling by Senator Joseph
H. Ball (Rep., Minn.) and by
Senator Arthur Watkins (Rep.,
Utah, who defeated Murdock
in the last campaign.
Both tried to show that Muir
dock was too pro-labor" to
administer the law properly.
Murdock stuck to his guns, how
ever. He declared bluntly that
he had not changed his phil
osophy.
He refused even to say that
he fully endorsed the Taft
Hartley Act and would not go
beyond saying that he supported
the "objectives" of the law and
was hopeful such detectives
would be fulfilled.
Stand On Law
Congress has enacted a law
and it is on the statute books"
he said. 1T is entitled to my
respect and adherence.
Whether or not it is a good
act or a bad act depends on its
everyday application to the
people who are affected by it.
OF course, l sympathize with
the purpose of the act. / hope
it will work out"
The vote in the Senate Labor
Committee was IL to 0 in favor
of Denham. The vote was to 3
on Gray and Murdock, both of
whom were apparently too pro.

Congress shortcomings, point
ing out that many of the short
range recommendations he made
in January of this year had not
yet ben adopted and adding "the
fact that this delay has not yet
produced bad results is no rea-
son for further delay. Waiting
until bad results appear means
that action is too late to be
fully effective"
