ALL OF US realize Toledo
"A is an automotive town. A
slump in automobile produc-
ton is Immediately felt by
Toledo. We feel it almost as
quickly as Detroit when as
sembly lines cease operation
or slacken in tempo. Of
course, we are now thinking
and commenting about normal
times and do not have war
years In mind as war prepare
ton takes up the work slack.
But the more one ponders
over the part the automobile
plays in our whole economy
the more we realize how abb
solutely essential ii is to keep
our automobile plants con-
stantly busy turning out cars.
Automobile production has
become so important that our
economy is the tail of the
automobile kite.
Come a slump in automobile
production there is drastic
curtailment of rubber tires.

Views
BY Richard Gosser. Vice President
International UAW-CIO

TT SEEMS to take some people a long time to learn that a good
i union and a bad Congress just about cancel each other.
Right now is a good time to make the point all over again.
UAW-CIO in Toledo has been winning some fine contractk
for its members. Most of the agreements, which have been de-
voted principally to getting pension and insurance security for
them, have also carried some wage increases, either across the
board or as inequity adjustments.
The union got them this extra money, and the Congress
let it be taken away, and a lot of other money with it.
World War II profteers got that old hungry CLEAN in their
eyes, and began to push UP prices. At first they boosted only
the metals and rubber and materials they hoped a spreading
war would make scarce.
Then, when the home construction industry was warned,
they began lifting the price of building materials.
Now the fever has spread. and canned goods at the grocery
meats, and the whole list of things that workers buy with their
paychecks is swept along in the greed for extra profit.
The corporations don't need this extra money. Every edi-5
ton of the press carries new lists of corporations reporting
record profits, extra dividends, unheard of sales.
? This trend has been easy to see for several weeks, and the,
President asked for standby price controls in case they were
needed. Responsible Congressman like Toledos Tom Burke, and
others, have urged price controls while there is still time.
Congress has refused to go along with price controls, but
it seems to be paying attention to the employers lobbies which
are demanding a wage freeze.
So you see how the thing works out. No matter what your
union wins for you in the way of security, more pay, better
working conditions, Congress can wipe it away.
Congress can wipe it away by doing something to hurt you,
like the TaftHart1ey Law; or it can wipe it away by failing to
10 something to help you, like ducking the issue on price con-
trolls.
And if Congress ever gets the idea that the working people
don't care a boot what goes on in Washington, we'll get a wage
freeze, too, with no controls on prices-and then we'll all be in
the wringer.
Political action-which begins with everyone getting regis
tered to vote-is just as important as successful contract nego-
tiations. Why does it take so many SO long to learn this lesion?
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-09-08

Steel mills Immediately feel
the pinch. Gasoline and oil
sales take a tumble. Travel is
diminished. The railroads feel
a lessening of shipping. The
vast paint industry mixes and
sells less paint. In half of our
states multitudes of stamping
plants and allied industries
send workers home for lack
of orders.
The chemical industry less
ems its shipping. Light bulb
manufacturers curtail produc-
ton when paint drying bulbs
are not needed in as large
numbers. The trucking indus
try takes a drastic slap in the
face when less cars are on
deck to be transported to all
parts of the country. In a
short time the electrical in
dustry has less need to turn
out wire harness and many
other items used by the car
manufacturers. Statesmen sell
less to the plants and either

NOE LOGIC and reason ever mean
~ anything in an election?
If it does, union members will register
in droves and vote in wholesale lots to re-
turn Tom Burke to Congress from the
Ninth Congressional District.
Those who heard his repor to the
United Labor Committee meeting this
week heard it put as simply as words
could express it.
"The Daily Slasher and the Morning
Pipsqueak nave called me an errand boy"
he said. Maybe I am, at that. A CT needs
to get into a Vets hospital and he asks
me to see what l can do. | do. An AFL
group works up an intelligent education
bill and asks me to introduce it. | read
the bill, am persuaded of it's merits, and
introduce it. A group of Go foundry
workers, whose brothers have been Grip
Piled or killed by conditions in their in
dustry, ask me to submit a bill to speed
up an enforce sound safety regulations.
! push the bill.
This is, admittedly, a form of running
errands' for the people who sent me to
Congress. Another way of putting it would
be serving my constituents"
"This is the way the Daily Slasher and
the Morning ~Pipsqueak put it when a Con-
gresham introduces a bill for the bankers.
"If a bill to save the bankers millions
Is Serving the constituents and a bill to
a v the foundry workers lives is rum
ming errands,' well, maybe that's the way
the voters want it. November will answer
that.
my record is clear enough. What I
have done is open to inspection. Now it
is up to the voters in Toledo, especially
the union members, to let it be known
what they want.
IF they don't register now - don't
vote in November - they will be saying
that they don't care what goes on in Con-
gress. They'll be saying they don't want
Taft-Hartley fought, don't want social
security expanded M improved, don't
want the things they told me they did.
But if they do want these things, it
does no good to tell me so at a picnic or on
the street. The place to give their answer
is on the registration rolls and in the vot-
ing booths"
There it is without flag waving or
hysteria. Tom Burke put 1t simply. The
answer should be just as simple.

Wage Cuts And Profits

DEPEATEDLY we have been pointing
IL out how price increases mean wage
cuts to the working people. To this we can
now add that increased taxes will mean
still another wage cut for those who have
to work for a living.
And in this twin-pronged drive against
the common people, Sen. Taft of Ohio =
Mr.. Republican himself who would like
to get reelected this fall-has been and
is playing a leading role.
All this, of course, was plain enough
to most of us for a long time. But this
tragic situation was most clearly nailed
down a day or so ago by Mr.. Drew Pear
son, widely re d newspaper columnist,
in his analysis of the new tax law now
about to be placed on our statute books in
Washington by the Congress.

Increased SocioI
Security Benefits
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMAN placed

>
w his signature on the e Social
Security Law a few days ago in the White
House, he brought much needed relief and
happiness to millions of our old folks. He
praised the new law and called it IAN out
standing achievement" We agree With
President Truman. The law, ever though
1t still has many shortcomings and did not
go as far as he himself originally suggest
ed, goes a long way towards providing -
at least in a limited measure - for our
needy people.
The new law extends social security
benefits to an additional 10 million work.
ers in fields heretofore not covered. Under
this new law something like As million
working will be covered Immediate bene-
fits to all recipients of this type of federal
aid is increased an average of 71%, with
some increases going as high as 1909. The
current benefit payments u d Social
Security average $26 per month. Begin
ming with Oct. /, this will increase to an
average of SAC per month.
These increased benefits, of e,
will be derived from increased contribu-
tons by both employers and employee
alike. 1t is estimated that by 1870 the con-
tributions from employers and employees
will amount to $1,000 million instead of
the current contributions of S. $500 million
annually.
In the ten counties that comprise the
Toledo District, payments will increase by
an average of ITO to the 1851 workers
who are presently receiving this aid.
In these troublesome times it is, in
deed, good to be able to comment on this
type of news emenating from Washington.

This You Ought To Know
Labor Unity Is Inspiring

would have been treated to an unforgettable
spectacle of labor unity and strength behind
our program to improve the life of all of our
people.
For fundamentally that is the purpose of
all Labor Day parades. On that day, set aside
the pay tribute to those who labor Organ
lied Labor is supposed to "show its strength
to ali concerned to display its program
and its aims.
How sad, therefore, that so many of our
people failed to show up on such an occasion.
How sad, that so many of our people failed
to understand that participation In a grand
Labor Day parade is part and parcel of their
everyday struggle to improve their lives, their
working conditions, their wages!
Of COURSE, the fault for all this lies with
" ourselves. First and foremost with our
leadership. Somehow while we are able to
convince our people that their unions are their
sole fundamentally through which they can
protect their interests in their respective
plants, we are unable to transmit to them the
idea that all that is not enough.
1t Is not enough to be good union MEM
bers" in the plant, although even in this re-
spect some of our members fail to stack up
even to our most modest standards. Unionism
means much more than paying dues into the
union.
1t means much more than fighting for can
extra nickel in our pay envelopes much
more than fighting for better working con-
ditions and the maximum possible job security
in the plants.
Today unions are in politics-up to their
necks-whether individual union members
like it or not. This is so because too often
what we gain across the bargaining table in
our economic struggles are legislated away
from us in our local, state and national legis-
lative halls. Too often the Tafts in the Con-
gress take away from us hard earned gains
won through collective bargaining.
And the only way working people can pro-
tect their interests in this complex, twentieth
century civilization is through perpetual
struggle on every front, including the political
arena.
THAT IS WHY our demonstration of
4 strength" would have been so much more
effective, so much more impressive if our
members would have turned out in greater
numbers
So, to those who marched-and to those
good people who came out to watch our par
ade and thus add color and strength to our
emonstration-we take our hats off. They
have done their duty. They are proudly carry
ing forth the glorious traditions of Organized
Labor in our country.
To those who did not march because, per-
haps, they don't yet understand the signifi-
canoe of a Labor Day parade, we say: try to
understand try to remember that failure
to show up simply means weakening our
ranks, weakening our daily struggles for a
better life.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-09-08

TN THIS CONNECTION we are pleased
Il to mention that the two freshmen"
senators who first exposed the hidden
traps of the new tax law are Douglas of
Illinois and Humphrey of Minnesota, both
new deal" democrats of tn e Roosevelt
school.
Senators like Douglas and Humphrey
- all too few III number should be
given every possible assistance to help
them in their fight to protect the interests
of the common people.
We in Ohio can make a tremendous
contribution to this fight. We can do that
by eliminating Taft in the coming cleo
ton through the election of j. seph T.
Ferguson, democrat, as our senator for the
coming term.
Mr.. Ferguson, as his past record so
clearly indicates, would unhesitatingly
line up with senators like Douglas and
Humphrey - squarely behind the best in
terests of our people.
This is why Big shines is out to
"kill" Mr.. Ferguson - if the citizens of
Ohio will let them.
But that is why the citizens Of Ohio
will line up solidly behind Ferguson and
get rid of Taft.
Certainly wen an "eight grade econo-
mist" can understand this. And so do our
people.

quit trying to sell or are laid
off. Workers do not need as
many work clothes so work
clothing takes a slump.
America is dependent on
the automobile. The automo-
bile keeps our economy going
at full speed. AS each year
passes our national well being
Is becoming more and more
dependent upon automobile
production 49,. whether we
like it or not all of us are
geared to the automobile.
Russia might find a lesson
and a lot of good in the his
tory Of the automobile in
America. 1t might help them
If they could emulate what
we have done. In an atomic
or hydrogen bomb fight with
Russia we have more material
things to lose. Possession of
more material things brought
on by the wide use of the
automobile, Russia might be
less ready to disturb the
peace.
In my mind I think the
main reason our country is so
well off materially is because
of the automobile. 1t was and
is the main force that brought
bath tubs to multitude of
homes. created a desire for
electricity, and better and
more enjoyable living -.
profitable living.

I don't know how others felt. | suppose
they were happy, too. Judging from the
thousands of smiling faces, this must have
been so. But for me, I was happy and proud
and inspired. Why not? This was our Army
marching. I was part of this Army. Indeed,
this was the Army of the Common People of
America-the Army that is forever struggling
fighting, sacrificing on every front to make
this wonderful land of ours better and happier
for our loved ones.
There is no %loftier, no worthier goal any
where.
NEVERTHELESS, there was a touch of sad
~ ness to this grand panorama. Our Army,
the Army of the Forgotten Man, was not
fully manned. Too many of our contingents,
too many of our units were nothing but mere
skeleton" of the true strength of these units.
True, there were some notable exceptions.
The W-O Unit was, perhaps, the outstanding
example of a fully manned contingent. Here
we saw men and women, young and old
many of them with their youngsters-proudly
marching down the avenue. There was power
In their ranks, confidence on the faces of the
marchers.
suppose they felt happy and proud that
so many Of their members turned out to par
ade their convictions to display their
solidarity and strength behind their program.
In much the same fashion, although to a
lesser degree, members of the Auto-Lite Unit
of Local IL took their place with pride in the
line of march.
As far as the AFL was concerned, I
thought that the most impressive groups in
the parade were the painters and the iron
workers, both groups uniformed in traditional
style.
WHAT A GRAND, what an impressive par
w ade this would have been IF all of many
local unions had turned out the bulk of their
respective membership. Had that been done,
the parade itself would have taken not two
hours to pass a given point, but many, many
more hours.
Had that been done, the people of Toledo
