For the benefit of our skep-
tics who still don't believe that
labor can unite for the common
good, we say that the high moral
and ethical level on which the
United Labor Committee was
launched, today, gives assurance
that it will be serving the in
terests of our community years
after such a piddling difference
as dispute over a single coun-
cilmanic post has been forgotten.
"Those who participated in
our sessions today represent a
vast majority of all organized Ia
Dor in Toledo-65,000 workers
to be exact. That statement,
which can be proved, means that
the vessel we have launched is
much too seaworthy to be
sWamped by a ripple"

that the trainmen are in accord
with the ULC in the request be-
ing made and explained how the
ULC had agreed that same day
to make it a permanent organi-
zation.
Following Mr.. Griffith's talk
Richard Gosser, international
UAW-CIO vice president again
asked for an answer from the
councilmen adding that the
councilmen in all fairness should
agree to appoint candidate Sc
lected by organized labor.
Ollie Czelusta was the first of
the councilmen to indicate his
position on the matter. Without
directly answering the question
he implied that labor since being
united, (that was the first ad-
mission that labor played a
major part in the election of Mr..
Burke to Congress), came back
to say that it would be better
if you didn't have councilman,
but did have a united labor
front" Replies Immediately were
echoed from the delegates point
ing out that organized labor is
united and proved it at the Nov:
2 election, and it will remain
united.
Other speakers from the dele
cation in addition to Mr.. Cos
ser, Zvara and Griffith were
Franz Berlacher, Oliver Myers
of the AFL. Harry Card, presi-
dent of Teamsters Union AFLS
Otta Brach of the AFL, Eddie
Roman of the Die Casters and
Walter Madrzykowski, admins
trative assistant to Vice Presi-
dent Gosser.
Franz Berlacher, president Of
the Milk Drivers in his talk ask
ed the council members if they
had CUTS enough to give an an
swer to the question the delega-
ton is asking. He further pointed
to the value of labor peace in
Toledo declaring that there was
no jurisdictional fight in Toledo
in the past seven years and that
was due to Gosser. He added
praise to Gosser stating that his
major part in helping in the
formation of the Labor Manage
ment Committee was the success
of this organization. His role in
promoting labor unity should be
recognized by council and the
public as well. Mr.. Berlacher
added that he was not an errand
boy for Gosser but calls himself
a friend of his and admiration
for man who made labor unity
in Toledo reality. That should
be a good reason to give the ULC
consideration in allowing that
group to name the candidate for
the council seat, he said.

Blade Story
Dolly Nesleefs
To Print StGfemenf

Richard osser, inter-
national vice-president of the
UAW : CIO, commenting on
the news story on the United
Labor Committee in Mon
days Blade said Monday night:
The Toledo Blade, in its zeal
to carry on its publishers per-
Sonal animosity toward me, is
continuing its campaign to pro-
mote a slight gust into whirl-
wind that will destroy the ef-
fective unity of organized labor.
''The Blade and its publisher
know very we'll that my activi-
ties now carry me all over the
country, working in my capa-
city as vice-president of Ameri-
cas- largest and most democrat
ic union - the UAW-CIO. Yet
the campaign goes on to show
me up as some sort of Caesar,
with Toledo as my private do
main.
'In yesterdays paper t h e
Blade said that simply an
nounced that l would be Spokes-
man for our group when we
called upon the council. That
statement was just not so.
\ "The Blade also tried to blow
wup my criticism of some of the
individuals in the CLU into a
accommodation of the A. F. of L.,
which as the Blade well knows,
was certainly not done.
"The Blade used the editorial
word storm to describe our in
tent to visit the city council
meeting last night. The, word
was intended to give the public
the impression that we are go
ing in for arrogant intimidation.
That one word was chosen with
careless disregard for the truth.
/ refer the editors of the Blade
to the dictionary.
THE Blade further picked up
a portion of my remarks which
distorted their meaning: What
! said was, as your reporter
heard, IF th&e Is a choice be-
1tween Sturrn and Berlacher,
there is no question as to who
my choice would be-Berlacher.
But that does not mean that !
will dictate the choice of the
ULC. The members of that body
will do their own thinking and
choosing.
Finally I would like to ask
the Blade what kind of fine con-
tempt it has for the members
and leaders of organized labor
in Toledo that it cannot give
them credit for making their
own decisions and electing their
own leaders and spokesmen. Why
does the Blade seek to frighten
its readers by continually con-
juring up this horrible picture
of a non-existent labor car"

y
Will it be the Democratic
Party, Big Business, Council
Members on their own choice
or certain individuals? The
ULC delegates were prac-
tically convinced that it will not
be labor candidate although a
labor candidate is going to va
cate the council seat.
That was indicated at the
council meeting when the coun-
cilmen after three hours finally
did work up courage to give an
indication of their position to
naming a candidate recommend
ed by the ULC representing an
overwhelming majority of the
CIO, AFL, MESA and Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen.
The delegates were attempting
to find out if the councilmen
will vote for candidate selected
and agreed on by a majority OF
labor and selected by the ULC.
After dodging the question di-
rectly, another proposal was Of
fered by the delegation. 1t was
that a list of names would be
submitted to council and if the
first list proved not to have a
suitable candidate another list
would be submitted. In fact, the
delegates offered to S u b m I
names until one was selected
for as Richard Gosser stated,
1--WE have 10000 members to
select a candidate from. The
only assurance the ULC wanted
from the Councilmen is that they
would vote for a labor candidate
and the delegation wanted to
know whether it would be q
waste of time in scrutinizing
qualified candidates for the ap-
pointment.
The answer to the question on
voting first chsice for a labor
candidate was, NO. The only
hint that he might vote for a
labor candidate was given by
James B. Simmons who said II
the candidate was equally quail
fled, he would vote yes. But that
was not a positive assurance.
Jerome Jesionowski who wa!
elected vice-mayor after Thoma!
Burke resigned from that posi-.
ton was the last to give an an
swer, and that was that he Woulc
not vote as first choice for a la
Dor candidate. That was hi:
first decision after taking ovel
the vice-mayor position.
Pete Zvara, of the UAW-CIC
Die Casters Union presented the
request on behalf of the United
Labor Committee for Council Il
name man selected by the ULC
to replace the council vacancy
which will be created when Mr.
Burke resigns as councilman
on Dec. 81. In opening his talk
Mr.. Zvara said, "our motivation
/ is the fact that an impression
has been created by the public
press that a labor man will be
appointed to the post only if Ia
Dor representatives can agree
among themselves" Mr.. Zvars
stated that the delegates want tt
know if the United COMMITTEES
will be permitted to select can
didate. 1--WE ask, he added, "tha
you recognize that Mr.. Burke il
a labor councilman, and that thi!
post belongs to the people whC
elected him to Congress"
After Mr.. Zvara's gu estior
Councilman Simmons was tht
first to reply but not with ;
direct answer. The others refus,
ed to comment or make any eff
fort to provide an answer.
Thomas H. Griffith, of the
Railway Trainmen Union ano
chairman of that Association was
the next speaker. He declared
