History of Club
Wherever Boys Clubs are in

as attested to by many juvenile

tinue to produce tomorrow S
prison populace.

A Boys Club is a non-sec-
tartan organization sponsored
. and stated by adults and fl
\ nanced by the citizens of the
community. In Toledo the Boys

of the Greater Toledo Commu-
nifty Chest, one of the thirteen
leisure time and character build

Che est. Thirty-seven hundred

Club of Toledo, where they re-
ceive vocational and character

unfounded statements in litera-

irresponsible statements released
to the daily press regarding an
officer of the international
Union.
UAW Board Concerned
The International Executive
Board is naturally concerned
with the welfare of the entire
membership of UAW and CIO
realizing, in the face of negotia-
tions which are to be opened,
this type of frantic job seeking
| is detrimental to the entire labor
movement not only in Toledo but
everywhere.
1t is hoped that this hearing
ordered by the Board will put a
stop to irresponsible press re-
leases which attack the Inter-
national Officers of UAW-CIO.

$500 DoehIer Workers Cast
Ballots In NLRB Election
.UAW OnIv
Union On
The Ballot
DoehIer Council
To Meet After
The Election

TOLEDO, o. - More than
$500 EN- ploy S Of the
.Doehler-Jarvis Corp. will cast
ballots in a collective bar
gaining election to be con-
Quoted by the National Labor
( Relations Board on the oath of
this month. The election will
take place in the Toledo, Ohio,
iPottstown, Pa, Batavia, n. Y,
land Chicago, III plants of the
IDoehler-Jarvis Corp. The cleo
|tion was ordered by the Nation
IaI Labor Relations Board as a
result Of a petition asking for
such an election by the Doehler
local unions.
Skilled Workers Too
Originally, the MESA also
filed for an election, claiming
bargaining rights in the Skilled
Divisions Of the four plants in
volved. The N1RB granted this
petition. However, apparently
because they felt that they
would not win such an election,
the MESA formally withdrew
from the contest. This left the
|UAW-CIO as the only union
which will appear on the ballot.
Outgrowth OF Fight
This election is an outgrowth
of long fight that the Doehler
local unions have been waging
for many months now to for
Imally secede from the Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers IN
ion. Actually the break from
Mine, Mill took place in June
of 1913 after the leaders of that
union failed to comply with the
request of the Doehler locals to
comply with the so-called nom
communist affidavits of the in-
famous Hartley Act The
'Doehler locals demanded this
because they were convinced
that noncompliance will even
Itually lead to the complete dis
Iintegration Of their organiza-
ton.
Meet March %
Immediately after the NLRB
election. or rather after the bal
lots will be counted on Monday,
March 23th in Cleveland, the
National Doehler Council will
meet in New York City together
with Doehler Co. officials to
take up a long list of problems
that have been pending for the
past several months.
Representing the Toledo plant
on the National Doehler Council
will be Edward S. Roman, local
president: Al Sobb, local chief
steward and Roland Birtwhistle
and Eddie Evans, Council mem
bers.
The International Union will
be represented by Pete Zvara,
assistant director of the UAW-
ICIO Die Casting Department.

Oil Workers
Awcif Decision
kLRB To Rule
On Charges

Clyde Shamblin, president of
Local 346, Oil Workers, CIO,
and Attorney Lowell Goerlich,
are awaiting a decision of the
NLRB as a result of I hearing
conducted in Washington re-
Gently in an unfair labor practice
charge filed by the Pure Oil Co.,
against the union.
In previous hearing on the
same charge the trial examiner
ruled for the union and then the
company filed a motion for a
new hearing, claiming that the
examiner was in error, and this
last hearing was the result.
The charge grew out of the
unions refusal to cross picket
lines set up at the Standard Oil
Co, docks during a strike last
summer

unfamiliar with the expanded
program which is being carried
on so small a budget. Printing,
carpentry, and wood-craft, typ
ing, art, plastic and leather craft,
photography and even drama are
taught in the classes held daily
on the club. And sports-minded
boys may participate in touch
football, basketball, swimming,
boxing, broad-jump and pull-up
contests,a and other body building
activities. In addition to this
varied program, summer camp
is maintained near Pinckney
Michigan, where the Boys Club
of Toledo plays host to four
hundred fifty boys each summer.
Any Boy Can Belong
What is most important-any
boy can belong to the Boys
Club. And there's where equali-
ty comes in. When a bitter,
down n-trodden boy, half forgot
ten by his elders, begins to feel
that he belongs" he begins to
realize his equality. Equality is
all one needs to take advantage
of his share of opportunities all
around him in this country of
plenty.
Citizens of Toledo can visit the
club any afternoon or evening
during Boys Club Week, be-
tween the hours of 400 to 900
PM.

ton in 1881, and for ten years he
served as a practicing attorney.
Jefferson was appointed to the
municipal bench November 10,
1871, to fill vacancy, and elected

In January 1914, Judge Jeffer-
son was named by Mayor Fletcher
Bowron to citizens committee
