Forced to Strike

When $4,000 employees of 16 Chrysler
Corporations plants walked off their jobs
on Wednesday morning of this week they
did so. not because they wished to strike
hut because the corporation gave them no
other alternative.
Nobodv. least of all the rank and file
workers in the plants, has a desire to
strike at any time. Anyone who has ever
been on strike, particularly those VINO
went through the General Motors strike
three years ago, knows what serious
handicap striking is to the people involved
in the stOppage.
That the workers choose to strike
rathers than accept the humiliating and
unreasonable wage offer made by the cor
poration proves their sincerity and demon
strates their belief in the justice of their
cause. Men do not elect to suffer hard
ships and make sacrifices without reason.
But now that the strike is reality;
now that men are striking and sacrificing
for a principle and carrying the burden
of struggle which effects the welfare OF
every wage Garner in the country, the
least that those who are employed can do
is to give this effort both their moral and
financial support.
Regardless of their strike, Chrysler
employees must still continue to live. Food,
clothing, rent and other necessities of life
must be supplied 10 them since they are
unable TO earn their livings on their jobs
This requires a considerable outlay OF
money. much more than the International
union has in its treasury, but not more
than the actual and potential resources OF
the Auto Workers throughout the nation.
AT the very outset, il will be necessary
to organize the help which must be given
to the Chrysler strikers in order to pre-
vent any possible suffering or hardship to
these people who have been trying to get
along on insufficient wages and whose re-
sources cannot help but be strained due
to their comparatively low rates of pay.
Thousands of workers in hundreds OF
shops scattered throughout the country
have voted by 95 per cent majority in
favor of union security clause in their
contract, proof that the minds which con-
ceived this phase of the TaftHartley Act
were wrong in their estimate of the minds
of the workers. If this is significant, and
there is every reason to believe that the
workers knew what they were. doing, we
need have no fear about the outcome OF
the Chrysler strike. We need have no
doubt about the support this strike will
receive from the entire labor movement
regardless of its jurisdiction.
When you are asked TO do your bit in
your shops, and you will surely be asked,
give as your means will permit In giving
YOU must know that they are supplying
the means of maintaining a struggle for
right and justice which is being waged in
YOUR behalf just as truly as though you
yourself were walking the picket lines.
The United Auto Workers are at an
other crisis, how they succeed will depend
to considerable degree upon the back
ing which comes to them from every
Local union and from the individual men,
bers of the union.
Remember, the Chrysler strike is also
your strike. Treat il as such.

And Views

BY Odessa Overy
Secretary Women's Bureau
Region 2-B

Years ago laws regulating
hours and wages of women were
said to be a beginning wedge to
establish the principle of regula-
tion of industrial conditions by
law. Once it was established,
state laws to govern conditions
for employment for all workers
were to follow - but where are
they?
These laws, regulating only
women but not men, resulted in
supplanting the women by men,
relegating women to low paid
jobs. During World War II
women showed their usefulness
in war plants as well as in many
other industries.
What we need now, and have
been working on for a long time,
is new legislation to supplant
obsolete laws which represent
the ideal of liberals of the early
twentieth century.
The equal pay for equal work
bill, known as the Pepper-Morse
bill, is a very good one, but it
looks like it will never become
part of our constitution. Sec'y
of Labor Schwellenbach de-
clared, This legislation Is desir-
Gus not only as a matter of fair
ness to women, but also from
the standpoint of preserving
wage standards and consumer
purchasing power" Seven states
have adopted such legislation.
Men have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by such a
law. 1t will protect them from
the wage competition of women.
The CIO and AFL are support
ing the federal equal pay bill.
NOT ENOUGH
In my estimate, this bill is not
enough. l do not like the read
ing of the equal rights bill be-
cause the employer can miscon-
strue its meaning and work it
the wrong way. l do think the
men are entitled to rest periods
(they take them anyway, and
chairs by their machines. Even
though employers class women
as the weaker sex, psychologists
class the men as such. In most
cases this differentiation is a
farce. With the use of machin-
cry, dexterity and precision are
qualities more valuable than
strength. Machinery can do the
heavy work and women's nimble
fingers, careful work and sharp
eyes are assets that can't be
denied.
/ think it should be deemed
necessary to amend all laws to
give the men the same privileges
and protection as women. We
need an amendment, call it what
you may, through which women
can obtain the right to share
equally with men in the right to
job, and men can share equally
with women in protection and
privileges.
WORKERS DUTY
1t is the duty of all working
people to adopt all measures to
humanize our industrial set-up.
This can be done, although ii
will be long, hard struggle, by
first of all placing the right
people in office next fall, and
this we can do by talking Burke
For Congress in District Nine
from now until November, and
all labor candidates in all dis
tricts. After that, it will be only
a period of time before these
things that we cherish so in the
labor movement are accom-
plished.
A week from Wednesday is
the day for our women's COM
mittee meeting, May 10th, and
we hope to see many new faces
We are hoping to see your face
here, also. Don't forget, we meet
every Monday at 8 p. m. How
many women are going to the
Region 2-B conference May %
at Marion, Ohio? Come on, girls

The Nazi war trials according to Rep
Rankin Cd. MiSsD are "a disgrace to the
United States" Rankin didn't disagree when
Joseph Goebbels in 1889 called the southern
lynch trials "a farce" Rankin thought so, too.
He believed the lynchers shouldn't even have
been brought to trial.

Washington (LPA)-A vote by
the Senate last week tied togeth-
er one of the most reactionary pro-
posals to limit social security COW
erage with a plan to increase fed
eral old-age pensions $5 and aid
to dependent children SO a month.
The social security legislation
started out with the Gearhart bill,
passed by the House, which would
exclude from coverage of the old
age and survivors, benefits pro-
grams from 100000 to 100000
workers. These include industrial
home-workers, door-to-door and
commission statesmen, and several
other groups. The Treasury Dept
had ruled that they were covered,
and the Gearhart bill would erase
this ruling.
When the measure came to the
Senate floor, just two weeks before
scheduled adjournment, Sen. Ernest
w. Mcfarland 3D., Ariz.) added

a position in which auto manage
