therefore, had several of their pii'S
drawn up and ready to drop III the
hopper again as soon as the Con

One of the members, who becam"
chairman of a committee when the
Democrats became the Majority told
me that for the past two years he
has kept close watch on bills intro

referred to his committee. When o

obtained a copy and held it to intro

Among the bills which l had prev

arduOusly for its passage, no action

We have reservoir of more than
ten million men trained for military

of the risks they will incur while
on active duty and with no proteC-

But the forces advocating decon-

there is politics, there is bound
to be a union for / believe that
is what started the unions in the
beginning, when the big indus
trialists were trying to get labor
for practically nothing.
The women's conference that
was scheduled for Oct. 21 and
%, has been postponed until af-
ter the first of the year. The rea-
son for this postponement at this
time is all of the confusion in
the coming election, plus the
steel and coal strikes. Taking all
this into consideration we
thought that it would be better
if the conference was postponed
until later date. So that there
will be no confusion on the wo-
mems conference meetings, they
have been scheduled for the
fourth Thursday of every month.
We have quite a few members at
the present time and we would
like to increase our membership
before the conference. The ini-
tiation fees are twenty-five cents
per person, and twenty-five cents
per month dues. We really have
good time and it is well worth
what you put out in dues. On
October 9th we are going to
have a very special luncheon at
this meeting and we are in hopes
that we will obtain a good many
more members at this time. The
small amount of dues that we
charge goes to defray the ex-
penses of the luncheons and for
flowers for the sick and to buy
few odds and ends that we
need for our suite of rooms that
we occupy on the fourth floor
at the local. So / would like to
see more of you come and have
good time the same as the rest
of us.

All of you good union women,
that would like to do something
useful for the good of everybody
concerned, have the biggest op-
portunity before them this
month. This is the month that
we should all be on our toes and
vt out there and start pushing.
On November 8, the councilman
ic election will take place, and
If we want to have a little to
say in the way that our city gov
ernment is run, and the way that
the laboring people are treated
when we have lobar problem
then we must have at least one
laborite in council. Now this is
a good way to test the ability
of the workers to see how much
we have gained since 1948 cleo
ton. and see if we are improv-
ing very rapidly. 1t might also
give us little inkling as to how
we are progressing in respect to
the 1850 electio o n, when we
would like to remove Robert
Taft from the S tie of the
United States. FRANZ BER-
LACHER is the choice that Unit
ed Labor Committee has chosen
for its candidate in the council
manic race. This is very good
choice and l think that we all
should get behind Franz Ber-
lacher and give him our first
choice vote. There will be other
candidates that are good for the
people but these people will be
given their second choice vote.
Some of you good people will
not be able to see things the way
that l explained them, but you
will see that if all of us give the
one candidate our first choice
vote, we shouldn't have much
trouble getting him in. This is
k1e thing that is hard to make
she people understand but if
they would look into the other
side of the picture and see the
way that the Chamber of Com
merce and the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers and the
OF h e r big industrial organiza-
tions connive to get their peo-
pie in office then they would
realize just why we are in poll
tics as we are. For if we wish
to make this a decent world for
everybody to live in then it is
up to us to get out there and
start pitching for the big indus
trialists are all out there pitch
ing to make things tough on the
unions and the laboring people.
Then you hear people say why
don't the unions stay out of poll
tics. Well folks that is just what
the big shots want us to do, and
that is all the more reason for us
to be on our toes. Wherever

Board Named
In Bell Strike

NEW YORK LPA)-For the
first time since the New York
State labor laws has been on the
books, State Industrial Commits
sioner Edward Corsi has ap-
pointed a fact-finding board to
look into a strike.
This move in the strike of
United Auto Workers-CIO at
Bell Aircraft Corp. in Buffalo
followed an attack on Bell by
the Buffalo Common Council.
The strike, the Commissioner
said, virtually affects the pub
lie interest in the Buffalo area"
The strike has been on since
June 13. Bell has been accused
of sending arm e d scabs in
groups to attack the picket line,
and presenting the sheriff with
a helicopter from which he
dropped tear gas and smoke
bombs on union members and
their wives.
Several days before Corsi
acted, the Buffalo Council passed
a resolution condemning Bell
for its methods and declaring
that solution of the dispute
"has been blocked by the man.
agement rather than labor"
Members of the fact-finding
board are: DR.. Edmund E. Day,
chancellor of Cornell Univer-
sity; Paul Shipman Andrews,
dean of Syracuse University;
Samuel P. Capen, chancellor of
the University y of Buffalo;
Charles Garside, New York at
torney; and Mrs. Elinor Herrick,
personnel director of the New
York Herald Tribune.
Union officials said they are
to appear before the
board at any time. Company
spokesman have not yet COM
themselves.
