Oil Workers
Plan Drive For
36-Hour Week

DENVER (LPA) - The CIO
Oil Workers, with thousands OF
members being laid off, chiefly
because of importation of for
eign oil, plan to go after So
hour week to spread the avail
able work. The unions policy
committee, meeting here, voted
to ask the aid of the govern
ment, particularly the Interior
Department, in its drive.
In the 1905, nearly all oil
workers had 36-hour week. AT
the governments plea, just be-
fore the United States entered
the war, the union agreed to a
40-hour week. During the war,
oil workers went on a 48hour
week. After the war, the work
week dropped to 40. ."The gov
ernment caused us to move up,
now we want the government
to help us move back to our old
standard" said the policy COM
mittee. The union will try to get
the present 40-hour take-home
pay for 36 hours, on the basis
of living costs and company
profits.
The policy committee also de-
cided to work for better federal
social security legislation; for
pension plans in which the en-
ployee gets vested rights to
money contributed to the fund;
union participation in admins
tration; a minimum $100 pen
sion if non-contributory, Sl25 if
contributory.

.Chrysler


The Chrysler Corporation to-
day rejected a new proposal
from the UAW-CIO to bring the
strike to an immediate end.
The proposal was submitted
to Robert w. Conder, Director
of Industrial R relations for
Chrysler, and was signed by
'UAW-CIO President Walter P.
Reuther and UAW-CIO Chrysler
Department Director Norman
Matthews.
The Union offered "immedi-
ate termination" of the strike if
the Corporation would agree to
a pension plan and hospital
medical program amounting to
10 cents an hour, with the pen
sion plan to incorporate three
b sic pension principles in
cluded in other contracts in the
industry. Those principles were:
/. Establishment of a trust
fund maintained through fixed
payments by the o m p a n y,
which would guarantee pension
payments.
2. Joint Union Company ad-
ministration of the pension plan.
3. Full financing by the COM
pany, with no employee contri-
buttons.
Under the Unions offer, if the
company agreed to those condi-
tions, the strike would end and
the parties would negotiate on
contract changes for 80 days.
All unresolved contract issues at
the end of 80 days would then
be submitted to- impartial arbi-
tration.
"The Corporation has charged
that the Union is delaying set
tlement of the dispute by its in
sistence on much-needed and
long overdue contract improve
lments," Matthews said. Our
arbitration offer would have re-
moved that so-called obstruction
to speedy settlement.
"The Company's refusal to
agree" he said, sis evidence that
the contract improvements ask
ed by the union were really no
obstacle at all; and that the real
road block in the way of settle
Iment is the Chrysler Corpora
tons stubborn and arbitrary in
sistence on debating tie m s
wholly unacceptable to Chrysler

tion observers. All factory pro-
duction checkers, whom the
UAW-CIO fought for before the
NLRB to become a part of the
production unit were chal-
lenged by the Lampworkers.
About so were involved. The
Lampworkers and the Auto-Lite
company both objected TO the
checkers becoming a part of the
production unit, but the Ma
tional NLRB ruled in favor of
the position taken by the UAW-
CIO.
The Lampworkers were assist
ed on election day by the parti-
cipation OF about 80 foremen
and supervisors in the election.
These company subordinates,
some of whom were challenged
by the Board, led their respec-
tive departments into the poll
ing area TO vote. Since the cleo
ton, other acts OF company
interference have gradually
come TO light.
Investigated Statements
The UAW-CIO Auto-Lite De-
partment promptly investigated
the statements of employees who
took part in the election and
filed objections. Many other
charges filed by UAW-CIO are
presently being sifted by the
Board. From the militant UAW-
CIO supporters within the plant
total OF about 30 affidavits
were obtained and filed. with a
total OF about 10 separate depo-
sitions supporting the UAW-CIO
charges.
Because OF the great number
OF people desiring to be repre-
sented by bona-fide trade la
Dor union, UAW-CIO Vice-Pres-
ident Richard Gosser, Director
of the Auto-Lite Department, is
supporting these people whole
heartedly. The Auto-Lite De-
partment is going to fight TO the
last ditch at Lockland in order
10 give these people a full op-
portunity to become organized
in a real union and enjoy the
benefits and privileges which
only the UAW-CIO can obtain
for them. William Grober is in
charge Of organizing in the Auto
Lite plant being assigned to that
Job by Mr.. Gosser.

Ohio CIO To
Launch Drive

COLUMBUS, Ohio. - Plans
for an intensive registration
drive for the 1850 general elec-
tions were mapped Saturday as
the top committee of the Ohio
CIO-PAC met at the State CIO
headquarters here.
With Chairman Jack Kroll
presiding, the 19-man commit
tee devoted the entire day To
working out basic strategy and
blueprinting action for a drive to
get every single CIO member
registered and eligible to vote in
the 1850 elections.
Most Crucial In History
Present at the session were
leaders from the major CIO In
ternational Unions having mem
bership in Ohio. To a man, these
officers expressed their convic-
ton that this years balloting
was the most crucial in CLOS
history.
Their attitude was summed up
by Chairman Kroll, who said.
"We cannot afford, nor do we
intend, to rest until we have
reached a goal of 100 per cent
registration.
mot only must we see to il
that every man or woman carry
ing CIO membership card is a
registered voter, we must like
wise see to it that all the mem
bers of his family, who are po-
tential voters, are also regis
tered.
"Once this task has been com
pleted, we must see to 1t that
all our members are aware of
the vital issues at stake in this
election. They must likewise be
made aware of the voting rec
ords of their public servants, so
that they know whether these
officials merit their commenda-
ton or their condemnation.
Finally, and by no means
less important, will come the
Election-Day task itself.
Over 5 Million Voters
"Ohio has potential vote of
100000. 1t shall be our task
to see that new all-time record
of voter participation is estab-
lished in this election.
IF all of the people of this
state go to the polls on Elec-
ton Day, we have no fear of
the outcome. For the people of
America have proven, in the
past, that they can we'll and ably
choose representatives who will
be responsive TO the needs of all
the people and not just the fat
cats
ITS only when the majority
of the people stay home from
the polls that the messenger
boys of reaction step into office.
That was the story in l946.
We are determined that shall
not be the story in 1850. To that
end, the Ohio CIO-PAC Steering
Committee has dedicated its
energies and its strength.
1T is a task that needs the
backing of every CIO member.
We are convinced that we shall
get that backing"
Regular andfrequent meetings
of this top policy committee
have been scheduled for the du-
ration OF the campaign, so that
problems that arise can be
quickly solved, Chairman Kroll
said.

as such and double time for Sun
day work as such.
The union estimates the total
value of the economic package
at 81 cents an hour.
In addition to the union shop
demand, the unions proposal
covers a number of non-eco-
nomic Improvements in the con-
tract.
Among the most important of
these are:
Liberalization of the provi-
sions governing transfers and
promotions;
An improved production STAN
f6ard clause;
Increased committeeman rep
resentation;
Broadening of the jurisdiction
of the impartial umpire.

WASHINGTON (LPA)

WASHINGTON (LPA) -
Chairman Celler of the House
Monopoly Investigating Commit
tee has submitted to the Federal
Trade Commission for investiga-
tion testimony by one of its key
officials indicating cartel deals
between American export asso-
Citations and foreign cartels are
lawful.
Celler acted after Allie c.
) Phelps, who heads the ETC Ex-
port Trade Division and pre-
sumably is in charge of policing
the export associations formed
by American companies under
the Webb-Pomerene law ex-
empting them from the anti
trust laws, testified before the
House Committee.
Phelps shocked Celler by say
ing he felt that under the Webb
Pomerone Law export associa-
tons could make cartel deals
He countered that was the pur-
pose of Congress in passing the
law.
Celler pointed out that the for
eign policy of the US. was
against cartels, and quoted for
mer Senator Pomerone, one OF
the authors of the law, as say
ing it did not authorize divisions
of territory abroad, which is one
of the objects of cartels.
Phelps replied that the law
seemed to say export associa-
tions were free to joint in car
tells = that the law put the in
terests of American exporters
"above the interests of the for.
eign buyer or the foreign con
sumers.
Later John Stedman, an anti
trust official of the Justice De-
Epartment, testified the FTC hao
never applied the Webb-Pomer-
ones penalty of 500 against ex-
port associations which fail tc
report to the ETC. He said the
FTC also had never issued q
cease. and deSist order against
an export association.
Phelps said he did not like to
be put in the position of defend
ing cartels, but he did not know
what our foreign policy was in
regard to cartels.
Phelps contended American
export associations had made
only Is cartel deals, and none
was in effect today. Celler point
ed out that a Federal Court re-
Gently convicted the alkali ex-
port associations of belonging to
such a cartel. Phelps said that
cartel was formed in 1880 and il
has only been since 1910 thai
their legality was questioned.
Asked why he had never re-
ferred any of the cartel deals tc
the Justice Department for pros
ecution, Phelps said the export
association had always complied
with the law in filing reports
with the ETC. Celler then read
an FTC report charging the steel
export association had failed tC
comply with the law in filing its
cartel deal, and another report
denouncing sulphur c arte
deal.
Phelps said he did not Sub
scribe" to those reports by the
agency which employs him. He
contended the Webb b-Pomerone
law permitted any deals that die
not affect competition in this
country and he had found nc
evidence that those did.
"I take it you do not agree
with the findings and recon-
mendations of the FTC?" Celler
asked.
'I do not agree with those par
ticular conclusions which you
read" the witness replied.
Celler then read another FTC
report charging a certel deal be-
tween American producers oi
phosphate and the foreign cartel
gave the o m S i C producers
practically complete" protec-
tion against competition fr o m
abroad.
Celler said il was "very seri-
Gus" for American exporters to
