I spokesman Tor the ClO In
this area.
The overflow crowd of
d e e G a S, termed as the
largest attending a special
meeting in years, repudiated
those irresponsible public state~
ments issued by unauthorized
spokesmen who do not reflect
Go policy and do not speak for
the CIO.
The delegates were notified of
the special meeting held Monday
night, at the TIUC Hall, GIL
Huron Street, by letter, signed
by the executive secretary,
Thomas Burke. The meeting call
was issued by the Executive
Board of the TIUC.
A call for the special meeting
stemmed from recent press re-
ports in the daily papers and
articles which seemed to appear
as a personal fight against Cos
ser.
In press release adopted by
the delegates at the meeting it
was stated that these represen-
tatives have full opportunity to
present their opinions and OBJ
jections to both the TIUC and
the Strategy Committee for
democratic consideration by ma
jority decision"
"The TIUC," it added, "reaf-
firms recognition of the Strategy
Committee as highest CIO au-
thority between TIUC meetings
and in emergencies as provided
in the action creating such a
committee"
In the resolution the delegates
C on d e m n certain individuals
who have refused to participate
in the activities of the TIUC and
have given the false impression
to the public press that labor is
divided.
The aftermath of the meeting
had delegates discussing the
recent press articles and those
appearing in the Local IA paper.
It was the contention in the
talks that one of the Associate
Editors of the Local Ia publica-
tion was former staff member
of Region 2-B and its unofficial
editor was using the Local Il
paper with smear articles in q
personal fight with Gosser. The
delegates have left no doubt in
expressions that the campaign
intended to smear Gosser was,
and if it continues, will be a
complete failure.
In a statement released to the
press a few days after certain
smear articles were published,
It was stated that it was the
work of a disgruntled ex-em-
oloyee.
The resolution presented to
the delegates and adopted is as
follows:

body which will make the ap-
pointment by adhering to a
suggestion issue e d by the
United Labor Committee in
meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The United Labor group COM
posed of top leadership of the
CIO, AFL and MESA and Rail
road Trainmen adopted motion
of Richard Gosser, international
UAW-CIO vice president chal-
lenging either the Democratic or
Republican party to allow labor
to name the candidate for the
council seat and if they do ac-
cept the challenge they will as
sure council members that the
candidate selected will be the
choice of all organized labor in
Toledo by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Gosser in making the mo-
ton stated that the council seat
to be vacated by Tom Burke
who is executive secretary of
the TIUC, rightfully belongs to
labor in that it has worked to
elect Burke to the city post and
now to the congressional posi-
ton. Truthfully, Burke is Ia
Dor representative and labor
should have a voice to choose a
representative in the Council, he
added.
The ULC also approved rec
concentrations from a special
committee which will be pre-
sented for approval to the over
all meeting of the ULC next
Wednesday. A recommendation
of importance was the provision
that the United Committee be
a permanent organization with
the purpose of the committee
being to promote legislation ia
vorable to workers and defeat
all legislation detrimental to
the workers. Also, to take an

One of the most important
factors in getting satisfactory
wear out of a suit is to gel
proper fit. There's lot of strain
on material and construction
when a suit fits poorly.
Goats Plentiful
Even sharper price cuts are
appearing on coats. Unusually
warm weather in many areas
this Fall has placed manufac-
turers and stores in a near-dis-
tress state, has forced early
clearances of coats, and aroused
the prospect of additional buy
ing opportunities between now
and mid-winter as stores try to
unload.
Longest-wearing overcoatS at

cheviots and m e to n cloths.

In shirts, too, there are better
values available already, with
trade reports indicating that by

shirts at $1.99, almost a prewar
price. Chambray work shirts
have also started down. Those.

Shoe Prices Stay High
There is little prospect of
noticeably lower prices for shoes,
up more drastically than any
other clothing item after OPA|
were lifted. The most
manufacturers expect is that
shoe prices may be five per cent
lower this Spring Only one

SO far, and that cut amounted to

Don't be a fall guy for fancy
brand names when you buy
shoes. The best values by far
are found in the private brands

WASHINGTON, June 25.-tR-- Senator James E. Murray CD- Mont) today quoted President Tru- man as saying the Republican Ma tional Convention has shown that .'ccnseryative interests" are in conr troI of that party.
 Officially MT. Truman has main tained silence about the COP con- vention and the selection of New York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey as Republican Presidential nominee.
 Murray was asked about Mir. Trumans reaction to the COP meeting after he had talked with the President at the White House.
 Murray told reporters.
 He tMr. Truman) seems to think the convention illustrates how the conservative interests of the country are in control of the convention and dominating it's ac- tionS.
 He seemed to regard the plat form as a reiteration of promises the Republicans have failed to carry out in the past"
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said MT. Truman had no comment officially on Dewey's nom- ination.
 Ross added MT. Truman saw and heard the nomination over televis- ion in his White House study.

COMMENTS ON CHOICE
 OF DEWEY
(By The Associated Press

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's unani- mcus nomination as the Republican Presidential candidate brought this equally unanimous reaction today from Democratic leaders, WeIl lick him.
 Senstor J. Howard McC) ath, National Democratic Chairman, said: This nomination comes as a sort of an encore for Governor Dewey on his unsuccessful Me Too campaign of 1914 The American people also will play an encore in November
 Paul F. Fitzpatrick, Chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee, said: We've licked him before and we will do it again"
 House Democratic Leader Rep John w. Mccormack declared that Gov. Dewey is politically vulner- able and with the weak Republican platform and the high cost of liy- ing as the paramount issue we can hurl at the Republicans, we can start out with our chances of victory most favorable"
 Mccormack said the Strongest candidate the Republicans could have nominated would have been Senator Vandenberg
 In Tokyo, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur said Dewey's nomination was splendid choice which should give assurance and confi- dence not only to our own people but to the loving peoples of the world'
 But Col. Robert R. Mccormick publisher of the Chicago Tribunt who had opposed Dewey's nomina tion. looked at it differently.

MOVE MADE BY STASSEN
 WORKED OUT
First Candidate for Honors Withdrew in Favor of
 Governor Dewey
By RELMAN MORN

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-lR- Thomas E. Dewey. smiling. suave and utterly adequate to the occa- sion, is the official hero of the Republican Convention.
 But the man who got the hand at the last was Harold E. Stassen Tn the long run. Stassen may win more friends and command more genuine approval by his actions at the moment of defeat than he could have done in moment of victory. Certainly, he gained sta ture
 Stassen faced the music with a smile.
 He was the first of the candi- dates-and in fact the only one with real chance to be nominated who walked to the rostrum, stood before 14o00 clamoring people, and told his followers that he would no longer hold them to their pledges. He went further. He urged them to vote for Dewey, and in the coming campaign, to work Tor Dewey.
 Dewey Too Strong
 Stassen probably could have held his lines for another ballot. With luck, the line might have held for two ballots.
 But the end was inevitable. Dewey was too strong.
 The big man must have seen this from the first.
 He came to the convention at o'clock when the balloting was sup posed to start. He was the only candidate there. He brought a score card with him.
 He took seat far back and to the right of the platform. And, as the vote rolled out, he sat there, quietly ticking off his chances, scoring the ebb of his hopes
 It was Dewey all the way Dewey had ASA votes on the flrSt Dallot, 5l5 on the second.
 Machine Working
 Dewey's machine was like a pre- cision instrument in operation. For him, the situation was never out of control
 The Convention re-convened in the evening. Quietly, Stassen re- turned to his place in the depths of the great hall, behind the plat form. Very few people even saw him.
 On the floor, the states were caucusing. They say nothing is so timid as million dollars. It may be, but l,0O0-odd delegates to a National Convention can be re- markedly sensitive to the shift of political winds.
 Milling up and down the aisles, they were asking. What are you going to do this time?" Any change over here?"
 Struggle Over
 When the gavel banged again, the struggle was over.
 Gov. Kim Sigler spoke for Ar thur Vandenberg. Senator William
