MALCOLM BINGAY, kept editor Of the

place last Thursday night when UAW-
CIO Commentator Guy Num- took him to
cleaners for Bingay's poison attack on the
UAW-CIO assessment to help strikers in
volved in long disputes.
To-day Bingay, this hired hand of big

- his old ideal woman - Miss Liberty of
1850 he calls her. Bingay's Miss Liberty
is toothy, chubby, publicity seeking Sec
retarial worker in Toledo Her blow for
liberty the one which won Bingay's
ear - was to refuse to pay the assessment
which the UAW-CIO convention vot d
last year to provide relief to strikers in
volved in long disputes"
"Bingay's poisoned pillar doesn't tell
you that this assessment was voted by

more than 95 per cent of the democratical-

Num- pointed out that at the UAW
convention which voted the assessment
no delegate represented more than 30 peo-

Congress for example, Miss Liberty had
several thousand per cent MORE repre-

books dealing with bygone times and peoples
The sole determining factor in every field seems
to be naked and brutal force with no attempts
made whatsoever even in the field of inter
national diplomacy - to hide the fangs and
claws of the opposing factions.
In the field of international politics, for eX
ample, any citizen of a nation under Soviet
influence-can--no matter how humble, how
insgnificant-say anything good about Ameri-
ca or the so-called Western nations? Can any
one in these countries utter so much as
single word to the effect that hot dogs
good, that they are edible and that most Ameri-
cans like them? Can any of these people adj
NIT TO the fact that we have in the United
States beautiful country and that at least
some of the people are nice?
No, these people can't say these things even
though they are obvious truths. And if there
be among them who would be foolhardy
enough to say these things, such person
would find himself in great deal of trouble
such a person would be denounced as an
agent of hostile and alien power
QUT, UNFORTUNATELY, this situation is
- not one sided. More and more the same
mentality prevails right here among u.s. IL
any among should be bold as to say that
there are beautiful babies in Russa-as there
undoubtedly are, just like everywhere else
such person would be branded Immediately
dS dn undesirable ana as a communist ANA IL
he should be so reckless as to say that the Boil
sheviks have built great empire from the
shattered and smouldering ruins they inher-
ted from the Cars of Old Russia he would
be Immediately investigated by the FBI
Yet all but moron would admit, if pressed
to the point, that there are beautiful babies in
Soviet Russia; that Stain & Co. did weld to-
gether a greater empire than Ganghis Kahn
ever dreamed of and that as result of this
situation no problem on the face of the earth
can be considered permanently settled unless
the settlement is brought about by joint action
of the so-called East and the West
HOWEVER LAMENTABLE and sad this sit
~ uation may be to serious minded people,
they are at least understandable in the field of
international politics. 1t is, after ALL easy to
say things about people we don't know and
who are far away from u.s. The same, of
course, holds true for them.
But this situation becomes incredible and
utterly disheartening when it happens; when
1t flourishes right in our midst.

d
one knows or should know that the locomo-
tive engineers and firemen are striking be-
cause they feel that third man, another fire
man is needed on the huge multiple unit deisel
locomotives. These striking workers claim
that the lack of fireman these huge en-
sgineS is positive safety hazard; that the rail-
road companies know that that condition is
safety hazard but that they won't put on that
fireman since they want to make more profits
and the safety of freight and passengers be
damned
Now, the Toledo Blade knows this story
we'll The Blade also knows that these rail-
road workers are not communists Yet, des-
pite this knowledge, The Blade cartoonist Mr..
Hungerford--at whose instructions we don't
knoW--publishes a cartoon on The Blades ed
itorial page wherein he labels the entire rail-
road strike as service rendered to Stain and
communism.
What kind of nonsense is this? Are we to
understand that from now any group of
workers striking for economic and safety gains
are to be labeled by The Blade as rendering
service to Stain and communism and, there
fore being out and out communist. For that
is the implication of this type of anti-labor
propaganda.
EXAMPLES of this nature are truly endless.
II Take the case of Brother Gosser. If any
about him, that person is Immediately labeled
a "Gosser stooge." If anyone should attack
him such person, in the news and editorial
columns of The Times and The Blade, becomes
champion of democracy; "St George"
fighting against the bad dragons In the Toledo
labor movement No questions are asked of
such people no one cares to investigate
their past records. No, such people are imme-
diately elevated to the rank of public heroes,
financed and generally well taken care of
So much so that at least one of these peo-
pie, man who several months ago lost job
paying him around $50 per week, has been
able to retain since then the services of two
lawyers practically full time, besides stenog-
raphers public accountants and what have
you.
Dick Gosser is hated by some people be-
cause he is stubborn man. He doesn't know
how to bend his knees He is and has been
fighting for the working people around To-
ledo for a long time. Toledo wage rates are
the highest in the country" said Fortune mag
azine not so long ago. And it's true. It's also
true that Gosser had lot to do with that situ-
alton. That the employers and their mouth
piece should cast stones at him, that we could
understand. But when some of our union
brothers +. when people who have been or
are still members of our union and benefiting
from the high wages that this union, under
Gosser's leadership has been aole to establish,
begin TO throw stones handed them by the
employers and their lackies - well, when that
happens we too have strong urge to throw
up our hands and say, whats the use?"
But, of course we can't do that Not unless
we are ready to give up the fight for sens-
BILE world and resign ourselves to world
saturated with intolerance and moronic in
sanity rushing headlong to its inevitable and
final destruction.

ReoI Gosser Record

A WORKER i n WHY'S Overland n
n 1882, Dick Gosser was skilled elec-
trician - and like the other skilled work
ers he got as high as 65 cents an hour,
when he worked.
Sometimes he worked as much as SIX
months out of the year.
There was no union in those days.
Straight labor paid 80 cents an hour. AND
since man worked half year IN GOOD
wears, average wages were less than SlU
a week - lot less.
If he got caught sneaking smoke in
the foul washrooms, he got the boot. III
he ate an apple, or failed to bring the
foreman one out he went.
When the foreman wanted little
extra money he "raffled" diamond ring,
and everyone bought ten cent ticket.
Nobody ever won the ring - but nobody
who wanted his job ever refused to pay
over the dime.
Foremen were the Kings of Toledo.
They got fresh eggs, green vegetables,
free cigarettes, and little friendly presents
from workers who had to keep their jobs
to keep their families alive.
II man lost his job, and his family
sank low enough there was always
charity. Relief was something to think
about - but not to hope for. 1t hadn't
been established on any formal basis.
So Dick Gosser got in there and help
ed organize union.
The self-same abundant energy a IN
courage that had got him into trouble with
l. ft,1 nf NH
him into the thick of the organizing drive
in 1882.
And the Auto Workers were formed
that year as Federated Union No. 1884
AFL. The first charter was issued in 1888,
and membership was concentrated mostly
in Willys-Overland, Bingham and Auto
Lite
Although Gosser was given his first
union office in 1887, when he became shop
chairman of Willys-Overland and helped
lead the unit into the CIO, he had been
the acknowledged leader of the right
wing minority even before that.
From 1897, when Local IL, UAW-ClO,
began to bargain CIO-fashion, with Cos
ser at the bargaining table, things began
to look up for the Toledo workingman.
Average wages then were about 80
cents an hour Now they're $1.75. Work
ing conditions fit for human beings took
the place of industrial styes for pigs; paid
vacations, paid holidays, and eating time
began to become standard
The trend, under the direction of Cos
ser, continues, with Pensions and COM
pany paid Health and Welfare programs
showing up in more contracts, covering
more workers.
In the 13 years since Gosser first show
ed his union leadership, the union has
grown from a weak and under-financed
bargaining force to the most powerful
and successful union of its kind in the
world
II has raised Toledos average wage
rates to the second highest in the land.
And the probabilities are that it will
20 on to bigger and better benefits for the
working people of All Toledo.
Gosser's record starts from BEHIND
scratch. He had to get himself straight
ened out with society before he could
grow.
But once Gosser began to grow, he
paid his full debt to society.
Maybe he overpaid. M a. e society
owes HIM.
But there will never be a time when
the thousands of working people of To-
ledo will forget that the advantages they
enjoy over workers everywhere else are
the REAL GOSSER RECORD.
