That is, it pays that mini
mum unless Block has low
cred it in the last few days.
Only employees earning $4,000
a year and over are eligible fol-
a Blade pension.
That is, those earning $4,000
are eligible unless the Blade has
changed it since Friday to cover
only executives.
The employees contribute )
per cent of what they earn over
$4,000 - or $50 minimum.
That is, they pay a minimum
of $50 unless the contribution
has been raised in the last 7l
hours.
The Journal would like to be
more definite about the Blade
pension; but under the terms OF
the pension agreement (if those
terms haven't been changed by
the Corporation) the w n o G
thing can be altered, amended,
or discontinued entirely at any
moment by the Corporation IT.

Maybe it hasn't. Maybe it has.
Who knows?
For example, Article XIII
says:
"(a) The Corporation may,
without the assent of any
other party, amend this agree
ment at any time and from
time to time by writing set
ting out the amendment sign
ed by the president and the
secretary of the Corporation,
and filed with the Trustee"
And who are the guardians OF
the employees interests?. VINO
elects them?
Article II tells all about 1t. 1t
says:
"(a) The Corporation has,
prior to the execution Of this
Agreement, appointed by ac-
tion of its Board of Directors,
a Committee to be known as
the Pension Committee, here
matter sometimes called the
COMMITTEE, which shall con-
sist of three members, who
shall serve at the pleasure OF
the Corporation. Vacancies
shall be filled by the Board OF
Directors of the Corporation"
Speaking of amendments by
he Corporations appointed
trustees - there might be some
concern about w h e t her an
amendment deprives an en-
ploye of some of his protection.
However, the Trustee keeps a
sharp eye on such things. Ar.

With about half the popula-
ton of the city involved in the
demonstration, and most of the
ADULTS among them being under
continuing and increasing pres
sure to register for voting in
November, the turnout will be
a measure of the weight Toledo
labor expects to WELD in the
campaigns this fall.
Major emphasis in the dis
plays will be on the election of
Joseph T. Ferguson to the
United States Senate and the re-
election of Congressman Thomas
H. Burke to the House of Rep
sentatives.
Historically, the rise of labor's
influence in elections has been
accompanied by the increase in
labor's participation in Labor
Day observances.
Some analysts have said that
Labor began to exercise its
franchise - it right to vote -
only after huge L b Day
crowds showed the working men
and women that they did, in
deed, represent a majority of
the voters in any industrial
community.
That may be why Labor Day
parades, Labor Day picnic, and
the kickoff on labor's real poll
tical drive for economic justice
have all occurred simulta-
neously.
If this is true, the jammed
streets, the cheering crowds, the
jauntly placards and p pointed
slogans which will accompany
the parade this year may well
convince the hackers of such
candidates as Taft and Reams
that it would be smart to save
their campaign funds for sun
nier times.
For the year 1850 is a Labor
year in Toledo - as next Mon
day will show.

Backs Bargainers
With a To | Strike Vote

On Champion company prop
erty - on Champion company
time - 21O0 members of the
Champion Spark Plug Unit voted
last week to authorize a strike
if necessary to obtain a Toledo
pattern contract.
The vote was by a margin of
more than four to one, with 1899
voting in favor of the action and
only 431 opposed.
(The action of the unit was
in spite of haunting comments
in the Toledo Blade which left
the impression that the Cham
pion workers would never vote
to back up their negotiators.)
The overwhelming vote was
a reaction of a management con-
tract offer, previously voted
down by the membership, which
would have given the workers
about half the benefits recently
won by about 1900 workers
covered by UAW-CIO contracts
in Toledo.
One of the offers made by
management was an insurance
program which could be with
drawn during a lay-off, leaving
the worker uninsured at the very
time he needed protection most.
was an offer of cash
in lieu of all other major bene-
fits-the cash being substantial
ly below the value of the bene-
fits being negotiated in Toledo.
