Coop Apartments

Coop Apartments
With the current publicity and con-
fusion on coop" apartments perhaps
this is the time to answer the question
When Is coop not a co-op?"
A genuine cooperative of the type
affiliated with the Cooperative League
Of the U. s. A. and locally with the Po-
tomac Cooperative Federation must be
an organization set up by, in the interest
OF, and for the users Of the service. The
word cooperative has been very badly
misused. Many so-called cooperative
apartment projects have been created
which are not genuine co-operatives In
spirit. although they may meet part of
the letter Of the law for cooperative
structure.
Cd A cooperative is not q co-opera-
tive when 1t is organized to unload real
estate and is instigated either by the
owner or agent Of the owner.
~ A cooperative is not a co-opera-
tive when it is used to circumvent the
rent control laws.
% A cooperative is not co-opera-
tive wherl 1t is used to evict duly ac-
sole purpose Of the organization of the
cooperative Is to allow some one else to
replace a legitimate tenant.
There are many genuine co-operatives
in the field Of housing which have been
to the advantage Of the occupants and
members Of the cooperative. It is too
bad that the current furry over an at
tempt Of an owner to sell property 'in
pieces" at figure he could probably
not get in 'one lump" should create a
bad name for legitimate co-operatives
created in the interest of their member
owners.

Director, the Cooperative League.

Pension Negotiations Begin

demand.
Union progress is made by the sacri-

members of the UAW, those who would
benefit first from pensions, konw well
the price tag which management put on
a strong union IS years ago when the
UAW was being nodded into an effective
organization. A similar price may be asked
of you before your negotiators can con-
vince management to give the UAW de-
cent pensions.
Strikes are unpleasant to everyone In
volved. They are Improbable, at the
moment, to both unions and management.
They are to be avoided where possible.

Within Two Weeks
Workers who filed previ,
Gus to Aug. % but are re
ceiving payments as allowed
under the old law will receive
the difference in approximately
two weeks according to Norman
Meyers, of the Local II Unem-
ployment and Compensation
Dept. Mr.. Meyers said that was
the information he received from
Edward Bodette, Toledo mana
ger of the Ohio State Unemploy-
ment Bureau.
ULC Really Helped
The new benefits were won
through the efforts of the United
Labor Committee in Toledo ano
the State CIO Council.
Under the old act payments
were $21 for 81 weeks with the
new act boosting the payments
to $25 including $3.50 for each
dependent with maximum of SIS.
Payments under the new act
are extended to 26 weeks.
Supreme Court Rules
The ruling to pay the differ
ence in the compensation was
handed down by the Ohio State
Supre me Court. A group of
0 hi o employers attempted to
block payment of the difference
of the compensation payments
and the move was fought by the
Ohio CIO Council which even
tually ended up before the Su-
preme Court.
The decision was hailed by
the CIO as a great victory for
the workers over the employers.
Workers also were granted the
additional four weeks allowed
under the new act for unemploy-
ment checks.

To Seek 500
Monthly For
All Over IS
Mass Meeting To
Outline Plan Will
Be Called In Sfafe

Richard G sser, Interna
tional Vice President a n d
UAW friends took the first
step to start drive to win
$100 a month pension for
all aged Ohioans. The initial
step was taken when Mr..
Gosser, through a letter, in
structed the law firm of
Lamb, Goerlich and Mack,
union attorneys, to draw up
in brief form, the entire Ohio
State Old Age Pension Laws,
since passed and all amend
ments.
Includes Workers
The plan of Mr.. Gosser and
the UAW friends would make
pensions of 500 a month pos
sible to all those 65 years old
and over along with a recon-
mendation that people being
retired from factories who get
$100 and those who get $100 a
month from Federal Social Sc
curity would also be covered"
Plan Amendments
The attorneys were instructed
by Mr.. Gosser to map amend
ments on that plan including
those provisions. Under this plan
the people in the State who do
not conform with the present
rules and law, or those who do
not get pension from a plant
or Federal Government would
!. automatically receive a State
pension.
No Paupers Oath
The plan calls for an amend
ment to the law which would
not require 'pauper's oath" in
order to get pension or to sign
away property.
Mr.. Gosser intends to call
mass meeting of the aged in the
State to have them get behind
the campaign. He will challenge
office seekers to state their posi-
tion on the Old Age Pension
Plan before the elections. He
said, 81 believe organized labor
should help sponsor program
beneficial to all the aged. l don't
think anyone needs help any
more than those who have pass
sed the age where they cannot
1obtain employment.
Gosser's Letter
A copy of the full text of let
ter sent to the union attorneys
follows:
Messrs. Lamb, Goerlich & Mack |
Edison Building
Toledo, Ohio
Dea rSirs:
want you to draw up, in
brief form, the entire Ohio State
Old Age Pension Laws, since
passed, and all the amendments.
Then l want you to write up
some new amendments to the
law wherein a person in the
State of Ohio does not have to
take pauper's oath in order to
get the pension or sign their
property over.
want further amendments to
make it possible for any person
in the State of Ohio, who does
not have pension rights, to get
a pension in the amount of $100
per month for age IS or over.
The point will be raised by the
legislature where the revenue
should come from to pay for
such plan. That is the respons-
iblity of the State Legislature
body.
In another section, alone and
separate, there should be a re-
commentator that would read:
people being retired from fac
tories who get 500 and those
who get $100 from Federal So
cial Security, would be cover
ed" If there are some people in
our state who do not conform
with the rules and laws, where
they do not get from a plant or
from the government, they
should get from the state.
l intend to call mass meetings
of the aged in the State of Ohio,
to have them get behind this /;
campaign. Further, / intend that /:

be challenged on their position )
