Committee Delegates

gates to the United Labor Com
mittee will be held at 1890
am, Monday, at 2014 Adams
Street.
The United Labor Committee
is made up of members of all
Unions and functions expressly
for the purpose of selecting, and
endorsing, political candidates
favorable to the labor move
Richard Gosser, chairman of
the United Labor Committee,
explains that it is extremely
important that persons inter-
ested in naming candidates for
the Toledo city council attend
this meeting and submit the
names of their candidates for
the approval of the Unit e d
Labor Committee.

Ford officials have been advocat-

Ford officials have been advocat-
ing throughout our current nego-
tiationS. The company is trying
to threaten its employees with
layoffs if they vote to support
their union and to back up their
just and legitimate demands.
"But Ford workers take no
stock in the implied promises
of the company that if they will
forego their demands for old age
and health security and wage
increases, the company will pro-
vide job security. The memory
of mass unemployment in the
'thirties and of the layoffs since
that time, that had a closer re-
lation to wage cuts than to wage
Increases, is still too fresh in the
minds of Ford workers for them
to take the company's current
propaganda seriously.
''The company's implied offer
of job security is counterfeit and
the company officials know it.
They know they will not guaran-
tee job security under any cir
cumstances. The Ford workers,
from past experience, know that
too.
furthermore, the company
deliberately misrepresents facts
when it says in its editorial that
d successful strike vote usually
results in a strike. The history
of strike votes under the Smith
Connally Act shows that in 85
per cent of the cases disputes
were settled without strikes
after a strike had been voted by
the workers.
''The Ford workers recognize
that their best hope, and the
best hope of the American peo-
pie, for job security and a stable,
prosperous economy is increased
purchasing power in the hands

Ohio Petitions
Circulated For
Ballot Change

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 2
- Ohio is being flooded with
petitions calling for a change In
the states election ballot which,
if adopted, will have serious
consequences for liberal voters,
Ohio CIO Council Secretary
Treasurer Jacob Clayman warn
ed today.
On the surface, Clayman said,
the proposed changes in the
ballot would appear to be minor.
Actually, that is not the case.
If sufficient numbers of sigma
lures are obtained on the petl-
tions, Ohio voters at the Novem-
Der elections will be asked to
change the entire state ballot.
Presently Ohio voters receive
ballot which lists in separate
columns the candidates of the
Republican and Democratic par
ties.
BY placing an "X" alongside
of rooster or an eagle that ap-
pears at the head of each col
umn, voters can register their
choice for all of the candidates
of either political party.
The proposed change would
list all of the candidates by the
office they seek and eliminate
any provision for straight party
voting.
Proponents are advancing two
in favor of the
change. First they say straight
party voting is not good, and
secondly they say that the pre-
sent ballot allows strong vote
getter to help weaker and less
candidates win cleo
tons.
Actually the presence of the
rooster and the eagle at the head
If a ballot allow the Ohio voter

,r conservative candidates.

,ulation of petitions, which need

cent of the voters in the last

Murray and CIO Counsel
Arthur Goldberg led off the
presentation of the unions
demands for wage, pension and
social insurance increases equal
to SOC an hour. They are to be
followed this week by pension
expert Murray Lattimer, econ
omist Robert Nathan, and Re-
search Director Otis Brubaker
of USA.
Big steels pious claims that
pensions weren't subject to dis
cussion or negotiation in the re-
opening clause of the contract
which the union is now utilizing
received a setback shortly after
the public hearings got under
way.
The three-man board ruled
that it would take testimony on
the unions demands for $3.50 a
month pension for steel workers
retiring at the age of 65. How
ever, the board will reserve any
proposal on including pensions
in the settlement until it hears
both sides. The steel companies
had opposed any mention of the
pension proposal before the
hearings.
Murray Aroused
Goaded by the charges of lack
of integrity leveled against him
by the steel spokeSmen at the
time USA came within few
hours of a nationwide strike in
mid-July, Murray said heatedly:
There they sit over there, look
ing holier than thou - the most
sanctimonious band of racket
GERS l ever saw in my life =
and l don't care if you object or
not"
Almost at the same time that
the fact finders opened sessions
American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute released report that de-
spite the sharp cut-backs in
June, the nations steel mills
produced a record quantity of
steel in the first half of 1949.
And US Steel reported that its
profits hit an all-time high. In
addition, US Steel President Irv-
ing S. Olds reported that steel
using industries had cut out most
of their surplus inventory in the
early summer, indicating accord
ing to union economists that pro-
duction might rise as orders in
creased again. However, Olds
painted a gloomy picture.
In ail-day presentation, Muir
ray said that the union is asking
for:
A $3.50 death benefit policy
paid up at retirement.
Cash sick and accidents bene-
fits of $3.50 a week for 26 .
weeks starting the eighth day !
after disability.

The leaflet says:
Ford workers can set a
pattern for wage increases
throughout the basic industries
If Ford and other automobile
workers have more purchasing
power, they can buy more food
more clothing, more electrical
appliances, which means more
jobs and more purchasing power
for other workers, which in turn
means a bigger market for auto
mobiles and greater job security
for auto workers"
The leaflet attacks assertions
by the Ford Motor Company
that meeting the demands of the
Ford workers for a pension
plan, health security program
and wage increases will result in
increased prices and curtailed
production.
"The Ford management is try
ing to scare Ford workers by
saying that the granting of their
demands for old age and health
security and wage increase
would threaten tn cir job Sc
curity," the leaflet says.
THAT argument is phony.
That's the 1929 formula of
Coolidge, Hoover and the NAM.
That's the formula that leads
to less purchasing power, cuts in
production, layoffs and depreS-
sion. Ford cut wages in 1880
but the Ford workers didn't get
Job security. They got layoffs. "
Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIOI
president, who entered the Ford
negotiations last week, issued
the following statement with re-
gard to an editorial which will
appear in the Rouge News next
week:

Cation Explains Roche I Hospita| Treatment
A Busy Bee,
This Miss!

There's seldom a dull moment
in the life of Miss Joan Mac
Ravey, 1929 West Bancroft
Street, a member of the Electric
Auto-Lite unit of Local IL,
UAW-CIO. 1t has been this way
for years.
Petite, blonde, and twenty
two, this widely travelled young
lady has mastered four Ian
guages, studied in three coun-
tries, and last June she was
graduated m agna cum laude
from The University of Toledo
with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
She is the daughter of the
head of the language depart
ment of The University of To-
ledo, Associate Profe ssor of
French, Frank MacRavey, who
is also a member of the Auto
Lite unit. Joan quickly picked
up the French language while
the family spent year in Tou-
louise, Southern France, when
she was nine years old. This
was only the beginning of
widely varied educational cur
riculum that has taken in much
of the practical as we'll as the
theoretical. Courses in engineer
ing and machine design at T. u.
included the study of mechan-
ical drawing and the manufac-
ture of tap wrench as spe-
cial project.
In July, 1945 Joan began
work at Auto-Lite, doing rivet-
ing work in Department Is, in
"the old building" on Champlain
Street. She was laid off on VI
Day and forfeited her seniority
when later recalled because she
had arranged to attend The Uni
versity of Lausanne, forty miles
from Geneva, Switzerland for
thirteen months beginning in
February of 1947.
Upon her return from Europe
Joan was rehired and has oper-
ated punch presses and kick
presses in the Ketcham Avenue
plant, and has been spray
n ter in Department 414,

patients began to pour into
the Board of Trustees. By
March l approximately so
| letters had been received.
The burden of virtually all
the complaints was the same.
DR.. Howard refused to discuss
individual cases. His brief visits
were characterized by a curt,
supercilious attitude. He was
never encouraging. Simple medi-
cations like aspirin were almost
impossible to obtain. He seemed
to act on the assumption that
nothing, cept tuberculosis,
could be wrong with the pa
tients.
In short, his bedside manner
was such as to leave the patients
in a highly nervous condition
and indoubt as to their true con-
dition.
Despit these complaints to the
Board nothing was done to allie
viate conditions. Much of this
time DR.. Paul Holmes was i'll in
Florida and did not know what
was being done.
Hospital OvercrOwded
Also, during this period, the
hospital was being loaded to
more than its capacity with only
the addition of few nurses.
State subsidy payments were in
creased and pressing demands
made upon patients to pay for
their care.
Due to the fact that care of the
patients, according to many
written statements l have OBJ
tanned, steadily deteriorated, |
came into the picture.
My first interest was the pa
tients but our union members
also we're being mistreated and
suspended wi h out sufficient
cause.
In all, six nurses aids and
four registered nurses were sus-
pended for 80 days without pay.
