Orders
1920

Willys-O Overland Motors, Inc,
ended its fiscal year September
80 with untitled orders for COM
mercal and military vehicles and
engines amounting to 500, 000.-
600, a rise of 102 per cent since
June 80, Ward M. Canaday,
chairman and president, stated
here today.
The year-end total compared
with a backlog of SAG, ZOO, 900
three months earlier.
Canaday revealed that deal
ers' stocks of the company's
trucks, station wagons, Jeeps
and Jeepsters were reduced dur
ing the period to a figure far,
below the national average.
Willys-O Overland dealers on Sep
TENDER 80 had an average of
only 25 vehicles each, compared
with an estimated average of 5
cars each in the hands of all
automotive dealers, he said.
Both production and employ
ment at WHY'S Overland have
been expanding steadily since
March, Canaday said.

GOPF7Op

In spite of door prizes - in
spite of refreshments - in spite
of entertainment - Robert AL
phonso Taft drew a scanty $50
to his 'big" rally Saturday in
Elks Rest.
One hundred and fifty per-
sons (by actual count sat on
their hands while Taft called his
opponents Communist and Com
munist sympathizers in order to
scare up a few votes in Toledo.
(The Sunday Blade reported
that 300 attended the meeting
but even counting the rest of the
stay-at-homes on the same block
that figure could not have been
justified.)
Taft tried to pin the Connie
label on Walter Reuther and the
.CIO, on Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell and all those
who support him, and on any
and all who are trying to dis
lodge the Republican from the
path of progress.
Out of the $50 who showed up
to hear this political has-been,
about 80 applauded.
Those were the 80 who came
in with him.

Coming

The Toledo Times p S
with horror that Tom Burke is
the only CLIO man in Congress,
and that t here are 5000, 900
CLIO members for whom he is
the only spokesman.
We share the horror of the
Times that this large a group has
only one representative in a
body which constantly legislates
on take-home pay, old age un-
employment security, h
protection, and collective bar
gaining directly affecting so
many extremely important peo-
pie.
We marvel that Congressman
Burke has found so much time
to devote to such matters of to-
tai community Importance as
his fine job on legislation af-
fecting our schools, school teach
ers and school children.
We intend to take steps to see
to it that Tom has a lot of COM
pany in Congress.

Mr.. Ewing's visit is expected

The Toledo Industrial Union

made an annual affair.

national figure would be the
principal speaker at this. the
first major Venture into pan-un-

acceptance of Admin strator
Ewing goes far toward guaran-
teeing a huge turnout.
The date has not yet been set.
The possibilities are that it will
be either October IS or 81.
Other principal speakers h a

The place and time will be

Ewing Hits ANA
For Holding Down
Number Of Doctors

NEW YORK (LPA) - Train
ed physicians are desperately
needed, but the American Medi-
cab Association bars the path,
according to Oscar R. Ewing,
Federal Security Administrator.
Mr.. Ewing will be in Toledo
October 26 or 81.
(The ANA is launching a IA
tion-wide million -dollar adver-
Using campaign Oct. 8 against
"socialized medicine" Other
groups, including drug houses
and insurance firms are expect
ed to spend an additional S19,-
900, 900 in ''tie-in" advertising.
The ANA has made common
cause with the major reaction
airy Hobbies of the nation. Their
stated aim is to repeal all the
social welfare legislation of the
New Deal and Fair Deal, and
block any advances.)
Ewing, in his address, de-
clared 1--WE cannot afford to turn
our backs on those social pro-
grams and gave the proposal
for federal aid to medical edu-
cation as an example. Pointing
out that "the cost of producing
a doctor is greater than any
medical school can Afford" he
said that situation when we
are building an armed force of
millions of men is more than
serious, ii is critical"
The federal proposal was to
give funds to medical schools
so they could increase the size
of the student body. He pointed
out that the prospective stu
dents were for it, the deans of
medical schools for it, liberals
everywhere were for tt but
the ANA was opposed, and it
was powerful enough to bottle
the plan up in a House Com
mittee.
Shortage of medical person
mel, said Ewing. is a threat to
the very safety of our country.
1--WE cannot afford to allow a
single misguided group to stand
in the way of producing the
trained physicians we SO des-
perately need. And, so long as
our medical schools are financi-
ally unable to turn out the
amount of graduates they ought
to be producing, and want to
produce, so long will there be
discrimination In medical edu-
cation"

Negotiations were started on
September 6, after the Chrysler
increase was nailed down. Close
coordination of the Auto-Lite
negotiations to the settlements
of Auto-Lite customers and COM
petitors lead to a peaceful set
Element without the threat of a
strike.
The new negotiations resulted
in a general wage increase,
notifications Of the Insurance
Program, and further negotia-
tons on the National Agree
ment.
The National Auto-Lite Coun-
ell represented Is local units of
the Auto-Lite Corporation, in
volving 10 separate units of the
Company.
The National Pattern was also
made applicable to the newly
organized Auto-Lite unit of
Local 500, at Paramount, Cali
fornia, where substantial adjust
ments were made outside the
national pattern settlement.
In the Owosso. Michigan and
Vincennes, Indiana plants of
Auto-Lite, inequity and the gen.
eral wage increase resulted in a
total 23c across the board to all
hourly rated employees.
The total overall settlement,
according to Company-released
figures, amounted to 23c for all
hourly rated employees, 26c for
all skilled-trades employees, and
18c for all incentive employees.
Included in the package Is an
insurance plan at &c; pensions
at .09c; a vacation increase of
.013c; shift premium at .009c
and inequities at .013.
The vacation plan, negotiated
nationally, provides for percent
agewise pay based on total
straight time yearly earnings, in
Guiding overtime hours at 2 per
cent up to one year; 3 per cent
to three years; 4 per cent for
three to five years; 5 per cent
for five years up to Is years;
6 per cent for Is to Is years;
and 8 per cent for over rs years
of service. Provision is also
made for time lost due to COM
pensable injury or illness.

Another Taft Road Block

Proponents of Senator Taft prattle about the Senator being
highly qualified to hold his job and that this is one good reason
he should be continued in office.
In the words of Senator Jenner of Indiana, Taft is a living
lie' to this way of thinking. Taft doesn't believe in experience.
Taft would not vote for General Marshall to become the Sec
rotary of Defense of the United States. General Marshall s a
highly experienced and qualified man to handle the job.
When Taft voted against General Marshall he voted against
natural endowment, capacity, and character with sue
cess.
Paraphrasing Walter P. Reuther, this is concrete evidence of
Taft throwing up another road block" in the path of democratic
principles.
Can you imagine Joe Ferguson NOT voting for General Mar
shall?

shift employees and 10c for
third shift employees.
The National Agreement also
provides for a modified Union
Shop and requires all new en-
ployees to become members in
all plants covered by the Ma
tional Agreement.
The right to hire into another
plant covered by the National
A m with preference
when laid off was established as
was a clause agreeing that prod
ucts would not be transferred or
moved from a plant where en-
ployment to the employees in
volved would be effected.
In Hazelton, Pa. at the new
wire plant of Auto-Lite, the pro-
visions of the National Agree
ment making automatic cover
age to plants where the UAW-
CLIO became certified had a
stimulating effect to the organi-
rational drive there in the run
off election held on Sept. 10,
1850. UAW-CIO defeated a COM
pany-type union here after mar
rowly missing a victory over the
LAM. IBEW-AFL, and the COM
pany-type union in the first
election.
The overall settlement has
also stimulated the organiza-
tional drives on other Auto-Lite
plants outside the UAW-CIO,
and good progress Is being re-
ported.

FSA> Major Speaker
CLUS Great Joint Rally
Small Plants
Buck Pattern

One of the most amazing de-
velopments in labor-manage-
ment relations in recent months
has been the sudden recalci-
trance of the smaller manufac-
turers in the settlement of con-
tract terms with the UAW-CIO.
The appearance of concerted
action prompts many to suspect
that the manufacturers are be-
ing given (and are listening to)
costly advice by others who
have nothing to lose by a col
lapse of union-management har-
mony.
After the larger manufacture
ers, such as Spicer, Auto-Lite,
Doehler-Jarvis, Champion a n d
WHY'S Overland, went along
with the current standard pro-
gram of health security, old age
security, and income benefits
scaled toward a defense against
the new initiation, some of the
smaller plants - with infinitely
less complex problems than the
nationwide industries - sud-
denly have decided, apparently,
to "buck the pattern.
Their resistance to modern
security clauses is reminiscent
of the old days, when small
plants fought savagely against
the eight hour day, paid holi-
days, paid vacations and other
provisions now universally &C.
cepted as standard.
1t is difficult to see how the
smaller plants, which must draw
their labor from an area where
a wage and security standard
has been firmly set, hope to
profit from a last ditch stand
against accepted practice.
