Men A Break

LANSING (LPA) - Unem
ployed CIC members in Lansing
Mich, are getting an impressive
demonstration of the value o1
consumers cooperatives to the
labor movement.
A plan worked out by Ken
meth McCreedy, executive board
member of Local 724, United
Auto Workers-CIO, local Presi-
dent Robert Dingwell, and UAW
Representative Frank Corser
with Lansing Consumers Co
operative manager Gerry Smith,
is giving workers who've been
laid off by their employers gro
ceries at substantially reduced
prices.
Unemployed CIO members of
locals joining in the plan have
only to get a special card from
their union headquarters-good
for 80 days-to receive their
groceries for barely more than
wholesale prices at the coop.
Coop headquarters in Detroit
have okayed the plan, and the
UAW international office is fur
nishing the cut-rate cards to all
participating lOcals.

Auto Industry Fails
To Punish Dealers
Who Gyp The Public

/ WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
automobile industry hasn't real
ly done anything to stop the
gray market in cars, Rep. w.
KingSland Macy (R., N. "
charged last week. He pointed
out that the big companies have
taken no effective steps to police
their dealers but have merely
made statements to "soothe the
public"
AT the same time, Attorney
General Tom Clark announced
that federal grand jury at
Seattle, Wash, found Chrysler,
DeSoto, Dodge and Plymouth
guilty of violating the Sherman
antitrust act, by fixing and in
creasing prices of replacement
parts and engines in cars and
trucks.
The companies excuse for not
cancelling franchises of auto
dealers who have been gypping
the public is that they are afraid
of violating antitrust laws.

JAW Casters
Win Cleveland
Aleoa Election

CLEVELAND, o. - Register
ing a smashing victory in ar
NLRB election, the UAW-CIC
Die Casters Local won bargain
ing rights in the sprawling Har-
ward Avenue plant of the Alumi-
mum Corporation of America
The vote was better than 81
The plant presently employs
close to 1000 workers. At the
height of the war this plant, one
of the key defense plants in the
entire country, employed up
wards of 5000 workers.
The Mine, Mill & Smelter
Workers Union-CIO, which has
held bargaining rights in this
plant since the old National AS
sociation of Die Casting Work
ers-CIO, in 1912 was unable to
get on the ballot since its lead
ers have failed to comply with
the Taft Hartley Act.
The Alcoa local union seeded
from the Mine, Mill last June,
joined the reorganized Die Cast
ers Union which in turn affili-
ated itself with the UAW-CIO.
The election campaign was di-
rected by Ken Eckert, Co-Direc-
tor of the Die Casting Depart
ment of the UAW. Ernest Love,
formerly chief steward of the
Doehler Local Union and now
an International Representative,
also took an active part in the
campaign.

cludes repeal of the infamous
Taft-Hartley Act, Medical In
surance, a better Social Security
Program, Unemployment Bene-
fits, Housing, etc.
Bore The Brunt
In explaining its reason the

that s8.OO0,0OO,OOO in tax bills
be shifted from low and middle
income groups to corporations
and wealthy individuals"
The CIO pamphlet goes on to
say that lower taxes for the
small wage Garner and higher
taxes for the rich are the keys
to full employment and a
healthy postwar America"

pamphlet reads:
Cut individual income taxes

of its members.
Mr.. Blatz has been assign
ed to Toledo by the national
office of the Newspaper
Guild to assist its Toledo Chap
ter which is in the midst of con-
t.Act negotiations with The
Blade.
Negotiations Bitter
Negotiations b e w e n the
Blade and the Guild, which has
been going on for sometime now,
became acutely bitter when the
Blade management suddenly de-
cided upon a wave of discharges.
Some "a workers in all were
fired, eleven of them guild mem
bers. The Blade attempts to JUS
tify these firings by claiming
ECONOMY" At the same time,
by taking these drastic actions
against workers, some of whom
have b e n employed by the
Times for as long as eight years,
the Blade served notice on the
Guild that it intends to fight
every demand for higher wages
and other benefits that the Guild
membership is seeking in their
AJIw contract.
efoild Adopts Program
Retaliating quickly against
these attacks, the Guild, in one
of the largest membership meet
ings it has ever held, adopted
an eight point program to fight
back. With over 200 members
present, the Guild membership
by unanimous vote instructed its
Executive Board to "reconvene
the meeting for the pur-
pose of determining whether or
not to conduct a strike vote" if
negotiations should bog-down
entirely. The Executive Board
further instructed to settle all
outstanding grievances SO that
contract negotiations may pro-
ceed." Additional points in the
eight point program was to call
upon the us. Cancellation Serv-
{ re for their assistance and to
Uniform the or-Management-
Citizens Committee of the situa-
ton"
Still further attesting to the
acute seriousness of the situa-
ton is the Guilds decision to
"set up committees to establish
and publish a newspaper in the
event the regular publication is
suspended" by strike action. The
Executive Board was authorized
"to appoint all necessary COM
mittees for the conduct and pro-
secution of a strike" "
Blade Answers The Guild
Replying to special bulletin
issued by the Guild to its mem
bership, entitled d Are You
Next?", Mr.. Gordon Strong, Bus
iness Manager of The Blade, also
issued a special bulletin under

Things stated that the Guilds
charges are absolutely untrue"

ed a donation this week of

Ohio. This boosts the amount
donated to date to over SGT 1000
towards the $4,000 goal.
Out OF Town Interest
Mr.. Rediger pointed out that
interest outside of Toledo has
reached a new high on the sum-
mer camp. This he attributes to
the fine reputation of the camp,
its operation and which serves
as a health center, education and
recognized as an ideal play
ground. Last year many of the
boys and girls spending a camp
period were from other local
unions and they are instrumental
in telling members in outlying
districts and cities the functions
of the camp and its ideal Ioca-
tion at Sand Lake, Mich, he
said.

citation to Local 975 and its Of
