automobiles have been suffered by
the Moore Mccormick Lines oper-
ating to South America. Evidence
gathered by company investigators
to date clearly indicates collision
in the thefts between the seamen
and doc workers.
On recent shipment of five
new Ford cars to a Brazilian port,
aboard a Moore mccormick vessel,
all the vehicles were registered on
the ships manifest but only four
could be located on arrival. In
another instance, two cars out of
seven disappeared" en- route.
Other items which vanish regu-
larly on this run include radios,
electric refrigerators, liquors, bolts
of textiles, hardware, etc. An Off
Ger of one of the Moore McCor-
/ mick ships estimates the value OF
these losses so lar during 1948 at
around $85 ,000."
On the West Coast, and espec-
tally On San Francisco, the illegal
removal of merchandise from dock
sides reached such proportions that
the shipowners' association finally
cracked down. Complaints to Harry
Bridges, boss of the longshoremen's
union. brought no results until the
shippers persuaded San Francisco
police to raid a suspected steve
dore's home.
There they found radio-phono-
graph combination, electric dish
washer, two vacuum cleaners, four
sets of chinaware-three of the
latter still boxed-and miscellane-
Gus items worth a total of more
than $4,000.
/ After that, the shipowners forced
Bridges to agree to jointly con-
| trolled inspection of all vehicles
| leaving the dock area. Since then
! thefts have been cut down but not
wholly eliminated. Apparently,
There still is considerable small
merchandise which workers can
smuggle out in their clothing.
! incidentally, missing goods aren't
the only headache plaguing the
Moore Mccormick people. On the
latest run of their ',Mormacmar,"
the vessel carried $4,000 worth of
neWsprint consigned to paper-hun-
CRY publishers at Santos, Brazil.
On arrival in that port it was
discovered that the hold where the
newsprint was stored had been
flooded with water Only about 10
per cent of the shipment could be
salvaged. No one aboard has been
able to explain this strange "acci-
dent"

Machine agency in Buenos Aires
received" shipment OF 10000
home-model machines. The reason
the word received" is used is be-
cause all the Singer people actual
ly received were two notices: One
from their customs broker. advising
that the shipment had arrived in
port, the other from the IAPl (the
Argentine government trade mono
poly, stating that Is per cent
special commission" had been lev
led on the machines.
A Singer representative called at
IAPI headquarters TO seek a clar-
ification. Why had the Is per
cent tax been slapped on, and by
whom, he asked.
by this office, when is un-
der nc obligation to explain
its policies or rulings to you
was the argentine answer.
The Singer man then consulted
his office by telephone and receiv-
ed their authorization to advise
IAPI that the company, which has
always resisted payment OF graft
to anyone, anywhere in the world
would refuse delivery on the 10000
machines and return them to New
York
The Argentine governments reply
was prompt and to the point:
THE vessel carrying that
merchandise must have a re-
embarkation order from this
office i'm order to sail with it,
and that will not be issued.
Either you pay the Is per cent
special commission, or the sew
ing machines will be confiscat-
cd by Argentine authorities"
After hasty consultation with
New York. the Singer people capt.
tulated. Their payment OF about
$4,000 graft to IAPI means that
the poor people of Argentina -
Peron's beloved Descamisados" =
will have to shell out still more
than present initiation prices for the
sewing machines they badly need.

Are the citizens and workers
forgotten? That is he question
asked of the Spicer Mfg. Divi-
sion of the Dana Corp. in an
open letter from Walter Murphy,
Assistant to Richard Gosser, in
ternational UAW-CIO vice presi-
dent.
Mr.. Murphy writes that "to
have a neat, and attractive and
prosperous community, we must
have full employment for the
citizens living there"
He elaborates on the recent
lay-off at the Spicer plant with
no explanation as to reason and
when the laid-off employees will
be recalled.
Mr.. Murphy also points to the
that few orders were re-
duced in volume, yet at the same
time the company removed sew
eral operations from the Toledo
plant to plants in other cities,
owned by the Dana Corp" Those
are a few of the questions asked
in the letter.

Bliss Office
Workers To
Vote On Union
Over 1870
Sign Union
Pledge Cards

A petition to hold an election
on whether office workers of the
Toledo Machine and Tool want a
union was submitted to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, it
was disclosed by Jerry Biddle, in
ternational representative attach
ed to the staff of Charles Ballard,
director of region 2-B UAW-C -CIO.
Mr.. Biddle reported that after
a new contract was signed with
management of the Toledo Ma
ch and Tool, Division of the E.
w. Bliss Co., covering factory
workers who are members of
Local IA UAW-CIO, office work
ers began to sign pledge cards
to join the union. Office workers
were not granted a wage in
crease.
A hearing on the petition was
held and date to hold the election
will be agreed on in the near fu-
ture, Mr.. Biddle said. He added
that the office workers are show
ing considerable interest in the
union and is confident that be-
fore the election date a majority
of the office workers will have
signed pledge cards. He pointed
to the large number of office
workers already having signed
pledge cards to base his conf
dences in Local IA emerging as
bargaining representatives for
the group.
Recent developments practiced
by the company assures the Of
flee workers that they need a un-
ion as never before. The COM
pany disregarded seniority in the
recent lay-offs with many of the
office workers having years of
service laid-off while new work
ers were given preference to re-
main on the job, he said.
The slogan among the Toledo
Machine & Tool office workers
is do we need a union now? We
certainly do"
The international representa-
tive assigned to that job attri
butes the success of the drive
to the organizing committee in
the shop who are doing a bang
up job" he said.
