Finally, a Republican Congress
will be interested, as every man con-
cerned In Government must be in
terested, in promoting better educa-
ton, better health, better housing,
better security for our people, and
better equality Of opportunity for
our children. The Federal Govern

We believe that hardship and

the people to whom 1t is extended.

of the 80th Congress. The 80th
Congress started the ECA. It ini-
tiated the idea of the Atlantic Pact
and extended the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act.
The only change made in that act
by the 8lst Congress is to remove
the peril-point amendment so that
foreign goods manufactured by
cheap foreign labor can come into
this country even though they de-
stroy the existence of an American

What kind of policy will a Re-
publican Congress carry through?
In the first place, it will back UP Mr..
Truman, or any other President,
in his foreign policies, as far as
they stand foresquare against the
spread of communism anywhere in
the world. It will welcome any
efforts towards peace which he
deems to be practical by direct
negotiations with the Russian
leaders. It will provide an all

he desires to spend them, freedom

health and welfare with Federal as
sistance, If necessary. but without
Federal control. We believe in the
free life.
A Republican Congress will main
tain equality and prevent special
both for big business or
big labor. It will not hesitate to use
the power Of Government to prevent
the abuses and excuses of laissez-
faire economic system, to protect a
proper minimum wage, to protect
farm prices that will maintain agri-
cultural purchasing power in the
market place in reasonable relation
to other groups in the population,
and prevent any destruction of that
purchasing power which could bring
another depression.
Guard Against Monopoly.
It will guard against the develop

of free competition, but

Peters Stamping
Gets rs Cents

More than ITO employees of
Peters Stamping unit, Local II,
UAW-CIO have accepted the
new contract package w h h
totals approximately 25 cents
per hour.
1t includes a funded company
paid pension, a full medical and
disqualification insurance pro-
gram paid for by the company,
and wage increases which start
at a minimum of 10 cents across
the board.
Inequity adjustments, which
bring the package up to the 25
cent figure, gave employees in
many cases well in excess of IA
cents an hour in addition to the
security benefits.
Negotiations were handled by
Harold Dean, international rep
resentative, assisted at the wind
up by Regional Director Charles
H. Ballard, and a shop commit
tee.
The committee includes: Erv.
Piotraschke, chairman, E. E..
Karnes, J. H. Black, Lynette
Norris, A. B. Hafner, Gladys
Ziemia and r. L. Finch.
The membership met last Sun
day and voted to accept.

restored. In addition, the union
asked a 10 per cent increase,
union security, vacations and
other standard Toledo benefits
tens of thousands of workers
here take for granted.
One of the reasons behind the
demand for a union security
clause is tied to the pay cut; for
wherever a strong and secure
union exists, pay cuts aren't even
considered by management.
In the % days or SO since the
workers were forced out on
strike, some progress has been
made, Kapela said. LMC and
the Cancellation Service have
been called in; bargaining has
proceeded, and the major mat
ters still in dispute are vaca-
tions, the economic package, the
wage reopening clause and re-
troactivity.
Retroactivity is veteran
unions response to company
stalling tactics. At Advance the
workers could well have been
under contract before Labor
Day, 1949, if the company had
accepted modern standards.
But the delay, so far, has put
money in management's pocket,
and taken it out of the strikers.
Retroactivity to August 9, the
date the union was chosen by
the workers, would tend to elm
mate some of the profit" in the
delay.
The bargaining committee
which includes many of those
most active in fighting for, win
ming, and supporting the new
union group, consists of Barbara
Tilliod, Lottie STRANGE, Marie
Church, Mildred Hoy, Bertha
Forster, Thelma Falk, Harriet
Sanders, Mike Szymanski, John
Sczepanski, Sophie Bembski,
Marie Mix and Catherine Shu-
maker.
A new meeting with the COM
pany was going on when the
Journal went to press, but the
strike at Advance Glove was
not expected to be over until the
rugged little union had won
what it set out to win-decent
wages, solid security, standard
benefits and retroactivity.

So far Billheimer has found
time to get the Toledo Scale
workers about z cents an hour
(while most plants the size of
Toledo Scale are getting 10 to

The pension at Toledo ScaA
is a phoney.

tirement age, if they want to

Dozens of others who would
be eligible for pensions under
Gosser-negotiated pension agree
ments in Toledo get nothing at
Toledo Scale under the Bill
heimer-maneuvered agreement.
So when you observe that
Harris Mcintosh, president of
the company where Billheimer
is unit chairman, thinks very
of Billheimer; and that
Paul Block Junior likes him so

er to believe that each of the
factories" noted was "in re-

which has put 10000 autowork-
erS under pensions in Toledo,
and given insurance protection
to tens of thousands.

Friday, the shop shut down for

by unanimous vote, the shop
committee was instructed to re-

T.. w. Bliss foundry workers

The statement, released by the
committee to the Blade and the
Toledo Union Journal, read:
Sir:
We have no control of the
opinion Of individuals. We
don't want any. This is a

By the same token no indi-
vidual speaks for the E. w.

few wells that have gone dry this fall. PromiscuouS drainage might aggravate this situation by removing sources of recharge in- to the underground water table. In places in the States a lot of good money is being spent to re- place swamps. It was found, too late in many places, that some swamps were lot more valuable for water storage than for farm land. It's something to think about. A pretty careful study should be made before starting to drain an acre. One of the best places to store water is in the top soil. Don't forget about building those brush rows across fields where the wind sweeps it bare; also, don't forget about hooking the tractor to a couple of small logs and dragging them across the field few times to rough up, pack and hold the snow. That is, if we get any. That will help hold the snow, hope. Anyway, it's worth trying.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW HANKS

Winter is good time for plan ming ahead. I have been on sev- eral farms lately where farmers have been planning crops for next year, field layouts, pasture seed ing and also drainage and irriga- ton.
 Field drainage in Alaska is really a puzzler. There are a lot of questions to be answered if a man is planning on draining swampy area. Is there a feasible outlet for drainage? What is the soil like? Is it muskeg? Are there only a few inches of muck soil above the gravel? Is it full of rocks as big as your head, all about six inches deep? If so, bet ter forget drainage and continue to raise block spruce on that field.
 What might drainage do to the water table? There are quite a
