Akron Unionisfs
PIon Coop
Shopping Center

AKRON (LPA) - Coop En-
terprises if Akron in coniunc-
ton with the Akron CIO Coun-
Gil has begun selling stock for
a S250,000 coop shopping CEN
ter here.
Many locals of United Rubber
Workers-CIC are active in the
drive for the shopping center
which is seeking membership
from farm, church and civic
groups as well as the unions.
Rubber Workers Vice Presi-
dent H. r. Lloyd heartily en-
dorsed the project. Said Lloyd:
II firmly believe that the estab-
lishment and operation of coop
stores by the working people Of
this country is as essential as
any other function of the free
trade union movement"

up to the level of the auto in
dustry.
Anticipating is triumph
over the pro-Communist union,
UAW has already scheduled
early collective bargaining talks
with Allis Chalmers manage
ment. Plans for establishment
of an Allis-Chalmers Council,
uniting mpany employees
thruout the country were an
nounced prior to the NLRB poll.
JAWS victory is a triumph
for CIO policy in the farm
equipment industry and a win
for a clean, democratic Ameri-
can trade union. We've got the
Communists on the run," UAW
Vice President John Livingston
declared.
FE's leadership, he pointed
out, has disregarded the appeals
of CIO President Philip Murray
and the orders of the CIO ex-
ecutive board that it merge with
UAW.
UAW is also the bargaining
agent for workers at the big
West Allis, Wis, plant of the
Allis-Chalmers Co., and for A-C
employees in Pittsburgh, Gads-
den, Ala, and Lacrosse, Wis.
Workers at two other A-C plants
are expected to affiliate with the
big auto workers union shortly
During the election campaign
UAW President Walter Reuther
declared that it is CIO policy to
win equal pay for equal work.
Farm implement workers, tho
they use the same type of ma
chimes, have BEEN getting wages
about 10To lower than those of
auto workers, he pointed out.
JAWS goal is to bring those
wages up, he assured the A-C
workers.

.UE Univis
Election Junked

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Stat-
ing that the Univis Lens Co.,
Dayton, Ohio had engaged in
"coercive" conduct, the NLRB
In a unanimous decision this
week set aside an election which
United Electrical Workers-CIO
lost last July %. This coercive
action on the part of the COM
pany was to send its supervisors
to offer employees financial as
Isistance during the strike. But,
the Board found, at the same
time as the offer, the supervisors
urged the workers 10 vote
against the union.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-04-29

Without a single dissenting
vote, HB. -531, which makes the
greatest single advance toward
liberalizing the workmen's com
pensation law, sailed through
the House Wednesday, 122 to o
Co-sponsors Frank Simpson ID.
Hamilton), Ed wilmer Cd.
Stark and Robert Shaw (R.
Franklin) joined in hailing the
bill. 1t now goes to the Senate
for hearings and vote.
House Committee Reports
While Labor and Business
spokesmen paced the corridor
for all the world like expectant
fathers, the House Industry and
Labor Committee held lengthy
closed-door session Wednesday
night on S.B.-142, liberalizing
Unemployment Compensation.
BY a 9 to vote, the Commit
tee reported the bill out for pas
sage after having adopted two
amendments and beaten down a
host of Republican-sponsored
crippling amendments. Stricken
from the bill was the provision
dealing with workers laid off be-
cause of strike elsewhere IN
their employers industrial en-
pire. A series of amendments, de-
signed to reconcile conflicting
views on this clause, had com
pletely muddied up the langu-
age.
The other amendment equal
ICES compensation for workers
discharged for just cause and
those who quit voluntarily
These sections are far better than
the present law. Committee votes
were along strict party lines,
with the exception of Republican
Guy Hiner stark, who voted
with the Democratic members
to slap down all cripplin 6
amendments.
Behind the Scenes on S.B.-142
The road ahead for S.B.-142
isn't rosy. Chamber of Commerce
pressure is increasingly strong
and behind the scenes there is
evidence that tough battle
looms.
Word leaking out of a secret
Republican caucus on unemploy-
ment compensation reveals the
tactics that can be expected from
that side of the House. One
member, harangued the GOPers
for half hour. His pitch was
this
II was a member of the House
when benefits were increased
from SIS to $21 a week. That
was a mistake. Instead of in
creasing benefits this year, we
should go back TO that $16 a
week rate"

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
bravery of a railroad crossing
watchman was honored last
week when President Truman
bestowed the Medal of Honor
upon Fred H. Chamberlin, a ST.,
Petersburg, Fla. Atlantic Coast
Line Watchman. On Nov. 9,
1948, partially paralyzed Karl

by inches. Neither man was in
jured.

Stalls Cause Rail Strikes

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Re-
curing threats of rail stoppages
are the result of refusal of car
rier managements to settle long
accumulated grievances at the
collective bargaining table, rail-
way union spokesman explained
last week. The companies, work.

many cases into the lap of the

Fear Is Lurking In The
Heart Of America

in this sunny land where the
air is heavily scented from the
heavenly orange blossoms and
a profusion of flowers the like
of which is not seen anywhere
else in the world. The citrus
and fruit and vegetable growers
are apprehensive of the drop in
prices. Workers are not work.
ing. Even in the building indus
try that is true. l was intro
duced to one building worker,
plasterer for example, who is
now lucky if he gets two or
three days of work in a week.
l don't know where all this
will lead to. Perhaps no one
does. But l do know that where
ever I went-with the exception
-of our oil lands-I found fear
in the hearts of our people.
Fear stemming from insecurity.
Fear that they will lose their
jobs and they and their families
will once again become the VIC
TINS of poverty and destitution.
They know what that means.
Most of them went through it
once before.
But the most incredible part
of all this is the unbelievable
and fantastic fact that all this
should happen in the greatest
country in the world.

it destroys the basis for sound
equitable and peaceful relation;
between labor and management
Already, it has wrecked gooc
relations in many plants. If per.
mitted to stand" he continued
Il fear it would damage and
feel sure in time would destroy
the good work accomplished un-
der the Toledo plan and all other
local and broader arrangements
for sound labor management re-
lations."
He termed it as a one-sided law
loaded against labor as the Taft
Hartley Act is loaded against la
Dor, does not promote collective
bargaining, fair dealing and
peaceful relations. 1t does pro.
mote industrial peace because il
denies industrial justice. a
Slick Advertising
In his comment on the phrase
you don't get cooperation at the
end of gun" he pointed out
that full page ads in slick maga-
zines, Widely-circulated question
naires full of loaded questions,
the shrill hysteria of certain ra-
dio-commentators none OF
these hide the one Sidedness OF
the aft-Hartley Act from the
workers who are its victims.
In reference to the signing of
"a Communist affidavit he said,
Il have always opposed Com
munists in labor unions and ev-
eryWhere else. My union, the
United Automobile Workers, has
had considerable success in root
ing out Communists from posi-
tionS of leadership. Other unions
in the Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS have had similar
successes in recent years. But
the affidavits had nothing to do
with this cleansing of Commun-
lists from union positions.
On Communist Officials
There are Communists still
holding some positions in some
unions In this country. They did
not sign the affidavits; they just
stepped into other jobs and let
their stooges take the elective
posts and sign the affidavits, and
they won't be swept out of their
Jobs in any other unions, until
the members do the job.
The men who have been most
successful in meeting the prob
lens of Communism in the Am
erican Labor Movement who
have the most experience don't
like the affidavit. President Muir
ray and Secretary-Treasure Ca
rey of the CIO, President Reu-
ther OF the Auto Workers. and
many others, are unanimously
opposed to the affidavits. think
we should heed the words of
these men, who might well be
considered technical experts on
the subject"
Those who heard the first
speech highly complimented
Rep. Burke and are convinced
that it will carry weight among
other members of Congress.
A full text of the speech will
be published in next weeks is

For Is days, union repre-
SentatiVes and committees
checked oVer-the-road drivers at
terminal points to determine
whether or not they were mem
bers of the union, and whether
their dues were paid up.
Some newspapers ran advance
scare stories predicting strong

closely watched the checkup to
see if they could find any evil
dence of violations of the Hobbs
Act" which forbids "extortion'
on the highways. FBI agents
were reported to have been as
signed to various points to do
surveillance.
The checkup, however, turned
out to be so peaceful and polite
that not single complaint
came in from anywhere. In fact,
Teamster officials said they re-
ceived praise from many spots
at the "gentlemanly" way in
which the project was conduct
ed.
Results of the check may
have been disappointing to our
enemies, but it was a great sue
cess from our standpoint" a
spokesman for the TeamSters
said. MANY non-unionists sign
ed up for membership, and many
delinquent members paid up
their dues. They did so, incident
ally, at headquarters of our To-
Gals. Our men were instructed to
collect no dues on the spot, be-
cause we knew the labor-haters
would try to make a Hobbs act
violation out of that"
A complete appraisal of the
checkup will be made at a meet
ing of the Teamsters' over-the-
road policy committee in Chi
