Unicn CounseIIinq
Glass July n
Open TO Shop And
Welfare Committees

Richard Lazette, President of
the Toledo Industrial Union
Council, announced today that
new Union Counselling Class
will begin July 9th and con-
tinue for five consecutive We'd
nesdays. These classes are open
to Shop Committee members
and members of Union Welfare
committees.
The sessions begin at 800 pm,
and will be held in the Con-
ference Room at 611 Huron
Street.
Union counselling involves ad-
vising people who need various
types of aid and assistance. A
trained union counsellor knows
the services available, how and
when to contcat them, the pri-
vate and governmental aid avail
able. "A trained counsellor in
every shop is our object, Mr..
Lazette said.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-07-22

Example: From 1946 to the
end of 1948, profits of all manu-
featuring corporations nearly
doubled; in steel, they increased
and-one-half-fold.
Example: In the first half of
this year-with profits of most
industries going down-steel
profits rose to new pinnacles. AT
that rate, the industry this year
will net $500 million-far above
1948 and 212 times the wartime
average. This years first quart
er profits constituted a 15%o an
nual rate of return on invest
ment.
with s to SO generally con-
sidered very good, that 15%
amt exactly hay.)
4. Despite the industry's un-
paralleled prosperity the steel
worker has mot shared appre-
sciably in the probability of
the steel industry"
Example: While each steel
workers productivity per hour
rose 500 between 1889 and
1949, the buying power of his
hourly pay increased only one
seventh.
Example: Steelworkers' real
hourly earnings increased only
14Po over the past 10 years,
While the industry's return on
investment, adjusted for price
changes, zoomed 1857.
Example: Steelworkers' real
wages went up much less than
wages in manufacturing in gen.
eral. But the Steel industry'S
profits rose much more than
manufacturing profits as a
whole.
ConclusiOn:-The steel indus
try can afford to raise wages,
cut prices and still be left with
excellent profits by any his
torical standards"
Long before the Nathan re-
port was released, the steel un-
ion negotiators had argued SINH
larly with company representa-
tives. In its brief to the corpora
tions, the union said;
''It is obvious that u. S. Steel
Corp. and the Industry can
grant the wages increase so
needed by Steelworker mem
bers-and they can do so with
out raising prices. All of the
basic steel companies can, with
in the present cost-price-profit
framework grant substantial
wage increase out of present
profits margins without reducing
profits to an unfairly low level.
They can even do so while, at
the same time, lowering steel
prices"
The Nathan report later made
the same point
And no spokesman for the in
dustry has yet disputed 1T.

TMHA Tenants
Form Council

Tenants residing in homes
controlled by the Toledo Metro
pilitan Housing Administration
and who are facing eviction
have formed an organization
named Tenants Council.
Mrs. June Hays, executive
secretary of the Council said that
they are seeking to delay evic-
ton until rental housing is
available or until ''the price of
homes is brought within reach"
HAVE CIO SUPPORT
The group having support in
their fight from the CIO, the
DAV and VFW have secured
temporary delay on evictions.
Facing eviction are the fami-
lies who according to the TMHA
have exceeded their income
levels allowed tenants in the
housing project homes.
Mrs. Hayes SAID that tenants
with less than three children
are paying one-fifth of their in
come as rent and those with
more children are paying one
sixth of their income for rent.
The ruling of the TMHA, Mrs.
Hays said is that the families
whose income exceeds that al
lowed by the TMHA must vacate
in spite of having no place 20
move in to.
SEEKING HELP
The Tenants Council, Mrs.
Hays said is just getting started
and would appreciate financial
and moral support from other
organizations and unions.
Contributions can be mailed
to Tenanats Council, co Mrs.

CEO-AFL Groups Map Plans
For The Labor Day Parade
.CIO To Have
Annual Picnic
In Afternoon
Units Urged To
Set Committees
For Meetings

Com m tees representing
the CIO and AFL in Toledo
met Monday night at the To-
ledo Industrial Union Coun-
ell Hall to map plans for the
second annual joint Labor
Day Parade.
Jack Blessing, chairman of
the CIO parade and picnic COM
mittee announced that the start
ing time will be 10. am. and the
parade route is to be discussed
at a future meeting. He said
it was not decided whether the
CIO and AFL will march on
Seperate routes and then merge
or to march abreast throughout
the entire route.
An invitation has been is
sued to all local unions in the
Region 2-B area by Charles
Ballard, UAW-CI0 regional
director for those locals to
participate in the CI0 parade
and picnic. He said many
locals do not plan parades due
to size of town and union and
he added every effort is being
made to reach those locals and
invite them to join us in this
years parade.
The CIO picnic will be on the
same plan as last year, Mr..
Blessing said with various Units
being asked to set up concession
booths or make a contribution
to the picnic. He said that rides,
games and refreshments will
again feature the annual picnic
which is held after the parade.
He urges all locals and Units
to set up a picnic committee.
The date of the next meeting of
the joint committees will be an
nounced in the Toledo Union
Journal and by postcard.

Social Security
Report DeIoyed

WASHINGTON (LPA) - De-
spite early optimism, members
of the House Ways e. Means
Committee do not now expect to
report their 1949 Social Security
Act to the House before the end
of July. On the basis of unoffi-
cial preliminary drafts, union
officials have expressed grave
alarm that the committees bill
will ignore the main points of
President Truman's proposals,
and may leave the social secur-
ity system in worse shape than
it is at present.
