Mobilization of the German war
potential; that there should be
immediate conclusion Of a peace
treaty, followed by withdrawal OF
all occupation forces, and that an
Alderman constitutional council
be set up on the basis Of a balanced
representation from East and
West Germany to create an in
term government, to be followed
by elections.
These proposals are probably a
trap and, indeed, there are traps
even in the most innocent-sound-
ing proposals. The West German
government represents between
two and three times as many
Germans as the East German,
which was recently installed by
an election precluding choice.
What balanced representation
might mean is not defined. But
there is no reason for rejecting
any or all of these proposals out
of hand. For taken at their face
value, they provide a basis for
diplomatic discussion.
May Be Good Diplomacy.
L submit, therefore, that 1t
would be good diplomacy for the
West to welcome them, In the
most urbane manner, as being, If
correctly interpreted and imple-
mented, compatible with Western
policy.
The West, for instance, should
declare itself equally interested
with the East in preventing the
revival of a German army. It
has viewed with dismay reports
that East Germany is being re-
armed, which reports may be ex-
aggerated due to the secrecy
which wells East German develop
ments; existing tensions may be
responsible for Russian suspicious
that q West German army is be-
ing built, and the Western powers
therefore invite a United Nations
commission to investigate the
facts.
If however, think it should be
argued-Germany is permanently
disarmed, her defense problem
must be solved. This solution re-
Iquires candid recognition that the
incorporation of Germany, ir
whole or in part, into the military
establishments of either Russia OF
the Atlantic powers is intolerable
to either or both. The Atlantic
powers recognize legitimate Rus
sian interest here. Russia must
recognize legitimate Atlantic in
Iterest. The naturalization Of SC
large a country as Germany pre-
sents difficulties. But by mutual
hard and fast guarantees, it is
mot impossible and could, if good
will exists. be to the advantage OF
Everybody concerned, including
the German people themselves.
The naturalization of Germany
would also require think II
should be argued-that the use
lof armed violence by any party

NafionoI Supply Strike
STATEMENT BY
CHARLES III. BALLARD
DIRECTOR REGION 2-B

The backlog of grievances,
the two-year d clay in ecO-
nomic adjustments, the gen.
eral attitude of the company
in going through the motions
of bargaining without genuine
response to the demands of
the unit, finally eliminated in
the present strike.
1t Is my belief that the
strike could be settled and the
workers could be back on the
job within two or three days
if the company would make
up its mind to sit down, meet
us fairly and honestly at the
bargaining table, and work
with us to resolve our differ
ences.
Howard Seren, Local IL
president, and ] as director of
Region 2-B, International
UAW-CIO, would be happy to
assist in such negotiations if
asked.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-06-30

Lawyers were there. B d e
lawyers, especially.
Guildsmen turn d out in
force. After all, it was their
show. Many of them, it develop
ed, could dance. All of them jab-
bered happily. Or morosely. Or
sporadically. According to their
fashion, they jabbered.
The dance was supposed to
raise enough money to send four
Guild delegates to the interna-
tional Guild convention in Wash
ington.
Maybe it did. But the dele
gates went to Washington any
how.
1t was hot in Washington, too.
The first annual Page One Ball
was excellent training for Wash
ington in the Summer. And, with
al the jabbering, for the Guild
convention, too.
Next year it will be called the
second annual Page One Ball,
not the first annual Page Two
Ball..
Get that straight.

National Supply Company
To Begin Real Bargaining

After the meeting join
statement was issued by Gossel
and r. E. Walk, plant manager
1t said:
Representatives of manage
ment and the union met to-
day in an effort to resolve the
dispute at National Supply
Company and reached the fol-
lowing preliminary under
standing:
1.-The office will be open
as usual Thursday morning,
"2-Pay ch ks will be

cess, financially, socially and
specifically.
Held on the hottest night
in Toledo since the hottentots
moved South, in the Trianon
Ball Room, the dance and fash
ion show got going around 8
o'clock and kept going all over
the city after the band packed
up.
The fashion show was the best
part of it.
Some of the fanciest suspen-
ders available in the midwest
were on display. Men arrived
all kepookied up in jackets and
rainbow ties and sharp creases.
An hour later their ties were in
their wives handbags, IN e j r
creases were between t h e j r
shoulder blades, and their coats
We're filed.
They danced. P eople who
would dance in that heat need
not fear He'll. It'll be air-condi-
toned, in comparison.
Margie made it. She was
crowned queen of the ball. She
always is.
Local IL turned out in quan-
tity. About fifty from UAW-
CIO were on hand, sweltering
just like everyone else.
Executives from the Blade and
other segments of the o CT a |
elite also appeared with their
wives. In one case, not directly
related to the heat, an executive
announced that the lady was 60
ing to be his wife within a few
days. This occurred.
The Blade executives were not
Stunned. Local IL members
spoke to them, smiled pleasant

Blue Cross Loves Unions
But NOT In Blue Cross!

Blue Cross and Blue Shield, one. of the
large open-shop white collar groups in To-
ledo, is being organized.
The Office Employees International In
ion, AFL, has begun campaign to bring a
union contract to the 100 employees of the
"non-profit" organization.
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield in To-
ledo depends for the vast bulk of its busi-
ness on contracts in organized plants, most
of them in Local H..
But they don't want union members in
their own office
When organizing work first began, some
time ago, there were company-called meet
ings to warn the workers that the unions de-
manded "exorbitant and excessive fees and
dues"
The OEIU initiation fee is So, and dues
are So month.
For this, the workers in Blue Cross and
Blue Shield ought to be able to get the Sc to
So more that others in similar work in To-
ledo average. Besides being paid S6 to So a
week less money, they have no seniority and
no promotion system. These are matter of
management caprice. Long and competent
work is no guarantee of job tenure or pro-
motion there.
Most of the workers are receiving litera-
] ture at their home, telling them about the
organizing drive. Those who have not OBJ
tanned literature can get on the list
The drive is being led by John w. Rich
ards, president and business agent of Local
10, OEIU, AFL, whose office is at411 Michi-
gan Street The phone number is EN-. 1910

Members Voting
On D-J Pension

The Doehler-Jarvis contract
which has been unanimously
recommended by the negotiating
committee, went before the
membership for ratification by
referendum this week.
The results can't be obtained
until too late for this edition of
the Journal.
1t is the habit of many to
speak of ratification of a really
b Cup contract, t, as the
Doehler-Jarvis gre m ent is
said to be, as "a mere for
mality."'
But membership action, even
though a foregone conclusion, is
never 'a mere formality." 1t is
the very essence of trade union
democracy.
Therefore, although no o n e
doubts tn a t tn e membership
will vote to accept an agreement
that gives them a pension of
more than S100 m o n t h, a
health n d welfare program,
second to none, an increase in
wages of four cents an hour for
everyone, and a boost in rates
for many ranging from nickel
to twenty cents or more, 1t is
still up to the membership to
the final decision.
In the next edition of tn G
Journal we shall report the re-
suits of the referendum - and
a brea KID wn of the new
Doehler-Jarvis agreement.

Your Friends

Those who purchase ad-

porting your newspaper.
They are reducing the
cost of producing the pa

make it possible to add new
features and improve the
circulation.
In a city where the daily
newspaper field is control
led by a monopoly, adver-
tising in a union publication
carries some risk to the

agreement was initiated.
1t is subject to ratification by
the membership.
This is the first contract closed
since the announcement by the
union, earlier in the week, that
the Acklin pattern would be the
b s. S for future Autoworker
bargaining in Toledo.
Acklin was chosen because the
pension program signed tn ere
included the best clause from
several established pension
agreements, and was considered
by UAW-CIO actuaries "just
about the best pension plan in
the country"
The Acklin agreement was
finally signed two days earlier.
In the past week, pensions had
been negotiated by Jones and
Laughlin Barrel, by Doehler-
Jarvis, Acklin and Dura, with
more than 5000 UAW-CIO MEM
bers in Toledo participating in
the benefits.
