In its intensive drive to give
Toledo labor a roaming, the To-

a private candidate to run

an injunction to keep p a ]
Block Junior from talking on
the witness stand.
This was an understandable
precaution.
The LIST time Block talked on
the stand, he gave away the fact
that he had financed Bolman's
suits against the union with S.
600 lawyer-fee money from the
Blade.
The last time Block talked on
politics, he created a Toledo
landslide for Joe Ferguson.
The Blades private candidate
is expected to run as an "inde-
pendent Democrat" If he does,
his independence of the Demo-
cratic Party will be virtually
complete. They don't want him,

retained by a Blade $4,000 fee,
how the Summer Camp and the
Local should have been run.
He based these theories, ac-
cording to his testimony, on ru-
mors, hearsay and some things
he had heard people saying.
How he should have done his
own job did not get his full at
tention, for the membership fall
ed to receive the monthly fl
nancal reports he was paid to
prepare.
After Gray's failure to pre-
pare the regular reports had
continued a while, he took an
extended sick leave-and then
returned to his office and let
the unfinished financial reports
pile up.
The auditors who came in be-
hind him called his affairs "a
mess"
Gray's effort to halt the secret
ballot selection of his successor;
his effort to convince the attor-
neys that Vice President Gosser
was "a DICTATOR" and his I'M
explained sway over the dues of
flee girls whom he had long
driven by dictatorial methods,
all conspired to complicate the
operation of the local.
But District Court Judge
Thornton could not carry the
farce any farther than he had
by issuing the original injunc-
ton.
He ruled Wednesday that his
court had no right to stop the
action of the local body by en-
joining the international presi-
dent and secretary-treasurer;
and had no jurisdiction over
Richard Gosser and Charles II.
Ballard, Regional Director.
He allowed the motion of
H. A. Cranefitld and Morris
Overriding, AW-CIO counsel, and
threw the case out of court.
Nobody knows what Gray will
think up next--or what will be
thought up for him by any who
may be advising him.
Many folks in his situation,
having lost one job, would be
expected to go find another, and
start working for a living.
This is a pretty direct step to
take, however, and not everyone
seems to expect Randy Gray to
take it.

Talks
Near DeadIine

Auto-Lite and the IL unite
of UAW-CIO were rushing to-
ward a clash, with only a dim
prospect of peaceful settlement
as the Journal went to press.
Union negotiators, realizing
the impact of a strike in a key
industry of the size of Auto
Lite, both on the workers, the
auto industry and the COM
munity, were making every eff
fort to achieve a satisfactory
settlement in time.
The COMMITTEES have been bar
gaining in Toledo since July 10,
on a five day week basis.
The original plan was to clean
up inequities and grievances,
which had piled up to tremen-
dous overall totals, on a plant
by plant basis. That would have
left Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of this week for bargain
ing on a wage increase, pensions,
health and accident insurance
and other matters of a national
character.
But by Wednesday morning,
only about 40 per cent of the
overall inequity and grievance
backlog had been settled-com-
pletely in some plants, and only
a handful out of 81 original de-
mands in the 5000 worker To-
ledo plant.
Whether the 11-man commit
tee formed to sit with Richard
T. Gosser on the last three days
of bargaining would actually
begin 10 talk national company
wide agreements with so many
plant demands still untouched
could not be foreseen.
The 1900 Auto-Lite workers
covered by the II office and
production worker units of
UAW-CIO is a key manufac-
turer, and a strike would have
national repercussions.

~ The contract, negotiated by
Gosser as spokesman for the
unit committee, includes a z
cent funded pension paying a
minimum of 500 a month, a
Sh cent funded Health and Ac-
cident program to be controlled
by the union, and the ADJUST
ment of inequities which boost
ed the total package to one of
the highest figures in the area,
and gave the workers some
thing to boast about.
The health program, Gosser
said, is the best in the JAW.
: The outstanding feature OF 1t
is that it Is fully funded. That
makes the insurance program
the sole property of the union
members from the day it begins.
Management pays the 3h cents
III, and the union works out the
benefits it wants with the insur-
ance company.
AS savings accrue, the plan Is
expected to be worth about
IA cent per hour per employee
- an exceptionally high figure.
Dividends and kick-backs be-
long to the fund, rather than to
the company, and can be used
either to enlarge the benefits or
to reduce the workers share of
the cost.
Fully funded insurance pro-
grams are rare in labor con-
tracts, but are beginning to form
q pattern in Toledo, where the
JAW CIO is breaking new
ground on the security clauses.
