Chest Drive
In Full Swing

More than 500 representatives
of local labor, industrial and
business groups assembled Tues
day (Oct. III in the Commodore
Perry Hotel Ball Room for .
dinner which marked the OPEN
ing of the Greater Toledo Com
munity Chest campaign among
volunteer workers of the En-.
ployees Division.
DR.. Tennyson Guyer, Findlay,
Ohio, gave the keynote address.
His topic was Humanity Un-
limited"
In recognition of the current
buying habits of the average
American family, this years
volunteer publicity committee
for the Greater Toledo Commun-
ity Chest campaign is launching
a different type Of appeal to
prospective Chest-givers. Fern
l.. Kettel, G n eral Campaign
Chairman, recently reported.
"With all our campaign pro-
motional media, including news
p ape ers, pamphlets, speakers
material and radio programs"
Mr.. Kettel explained, 1--WE shall
endeavor to show everyone In
the Toledo area just how and
why our Community Chest cam
paign is Toledo's Biggest Bar
gain Event.

He backs that statement
with confidence and sincerity
by issueing a challenge to the
statement made by Forrest H
Peiffer, Executive Manager OF
the Toledo Research Bureau OF
the Chamber of Commerce who
called the plan Impractical.
The UAW Vice President said
that he challenges to debate the
pension plan at the civic Audi
torium with any worth while
person who represents industry
and added, I challenge the own
er and editor of the Toledo
Blade to debate, with all the
public invited"
Here is the plan as explained
by Mr.. Gosser:
A management-financed pen
sion containing provision for
such persons on a region wide
basis so that workers who shift
from plant to plant because of
curtailed production or other
reasons, can quality for full
pensions of S100 monthly after
80 years of work if 65 years old.
Workers over 68 would be
compelled to retire and they
could continue only after mu-
tual agree m ent of union
and management. Persons now
approaching that age, but not
having the necessary 80 years
service, would participate in
graduated benefits, depending
on the length of employment.
Initial Payment Disputed
Employees with 80 years OF
service could retire at 60, but on
a reduced benefit and only with
company consent. A worker
claiming total disability after
80 years service at the age of
55 could retire with a flat re-
tirement benefit of $50 month.
Past service would be based
on seniority, except seniority
with military service. All future
service would be determined on
one year for which an employee
receives pay for 1900 or more
hours; three-fourth of a year
for 1900 to 1,799 hours; one
half year for $50 to 1929 hours,
and no credit for any year in
which an employee would. work
less than $50 hours.
Objective of the move, Mr..

hard coal diggers in eastern
Pennsylvania and bituminous
miners in the far west were

sion plan, but the unions de-
now are for a full con-
