One man got out his crutches and limped in
my direction. Everyone started talking at
the same time.

they didn't knock me off because l was

carries me back to the lines"

Boosts
One Buck

Plaskon Division unit of Lo-
cal IL added a new wrinkle to
the 81 dues increase at a men,
bership meeting this week when
it voted to increase the unit dues
by the dollar, and voted to turn
over fifty cents of this amount
to Local IL strike fund.
The effect of the vote is to
establish the $3.50 dues level,
no matter what the individual
units of Local IL may do.
Further, some of the units are
now considering the resolution
voted unanimously at the last
Local IL meeting which would
retain the full amount of the
dollar in each unit treasury and
make voluntary contributions to
the Local to rebuild the local
funds. The Plaskon vote, how
ever, makes the so cent monthly
contribution to Local IL auto
matte.
The result of the vote was re-
ported by Al Yeager, chairman.

board has voted to accept,
and suggested that this joint
program be made an annual
affair.
A good climate for inter-
union cooperation, especially in
the field of local politics, has
been established here,
reaching a current peak through
the activities of the United
Labor Committee.
But although the October
meeting planned, because OF its
timing as just preceding an
election in which Taft is to be
defeated and Ferguson and
Burke elected, will undoubtedly
deal with political problems OF
mutual interest, the joint action
will set to stage for community
cooperation on a vastly broader
scale.
The first step was a vote by
the last CLU meeting which
passed a resolution inviting "all
labor groups to a joint meeting"
sometimes in October, 1850, for
the purpose of discussing Sim
mediate and future problems"
A letter from Ray Flory, gen.
eral secretary of the CLU, en-
bodying the invitation was re-
ceived by Howard Rediger, sec
rotary of the TUG. A special
meeting of the TUG executive
board unanimously accepted the
invitation, and added the annual
meeting suggestion.
The time and place have not
yet been chosen, nor have all
the details been worked out.
But it is expected that the
agenda and speakers will be of
a nature to turn out a tremend-
Gus throng and call national at
tention to an 'organic unity"
precedent set again in Toledo.

Wages Chase
After Prices

AS prices m e d, wages
within the orbit of the UAW-
CLIO in Region 2-B rose to keep
pace last week.
Several contracts which had
been closed were reopened for
additional wages, and m a y
others are being reopened al
most daily.
Still others, which had been
in negotiations based on tn e
July cost of living, were prompt
ly revised in the light of the
prices of today, with manage
ment generally acknowledging
the need for more money.
Meanwhile the JAW clio
joined others within the CLIO
in a pressing demand on Con-
gress for price controls, pre-
sumably on the basis of a roll
b a ck to the levels obtaining
early in the Summer.
President Truman used t e
dates of May "a to June "a as
a likely period for the estab-
lishment of price ceilings.
The counter-drive of the cor
poration spokesman for a wage
freeze was being met by union
resistance - at least until the
principle of equality of sacri-
flee" had been nailed fast. No
shackles like those voluntarily
assumed by labor and generally
avoided by management during
World War II seem likely to be
foisted on the nations workers.

Ratification meetings are be-
ing held throughout the Auto
Lite circuit to vote on a "a cent
package settlement negotiated by
Vice President Richard T. Cos
ser as spokesman for the Ma
tional Council delegates.
The new agreement appears
to have resolved some of the diff
ficulties which had prompted
several of the plants to reject
an agreement reached several
weeks ago on the eve of a
strike.
The Toledo group has already
voted to accept the new package,
after a meeting in the Sports
Arena for the purpose.
New benefits won include a
10 cents per hour increase for
all non-incentive workers; a Is
cents per hour increase for the
skilled trades, who were defined
during negotiations; and an I'M
expected 5 cents for the incen-
tive workers. Second and third
shift bonuses were increased ~
cents.
These wage boosts are now
piled atop the earlier settlement,
which involved a pension and in
surance agreement, increased
vacation allowance and a SUBJ
stantial number of plant-by-
plant inequity adjustments. The
total gives some employees as
much as 81 cents an hour more
than where bargaining began.
The company paid pension,
which is negotiated for five
years, pays 500 a month lin
elusive of social security to en-
ployes with Is years of service
at age SIS, and $125 a month for
those who, at age IS, have COM
pleted 80 years of service. The
pension is portable, being main
tanned for an Auto-Lite worker
who, under certain lay-off con-
ditions, moves from one Auto
Lite plant to another.
The insurance program con-
tains disqualification, surgical
and disability benefits. One gim-
mick in the original settlement
now ironed out, is the situation
in which a worker whose cover
age included his wife would pay
substantially less if his wife i:

A 10 cents general increase
was negotiated to add to a con-
tract which would now include
company paid pensions and in
surance.
The pension, which would
run for five years, at a funded
cost to the company of 6 cents
per. hour per employee, and the
insurance are both paid for by
the company.
The insurance package, esti-
mated at 5 cents, provides that
management will pay for Blue
Cross and Blue Shield, n w
taken by a majority of the en-
ployes, and supplemented. 1t in
cludes $500 life, sick and ac-
cident payments of $28 for 26
weeks starting on the first day

an illness, and six weeks ma

premiums now being paid, and
now being assumed by the COM
pany, were $1.55 single, $3.50
couple, and $3.50 family p r
month.
Retroactivity on the 10 cent
general wage increase would be
to March / for 8 cents and to
July IT for the other 2 cents.
The half cent pool obtained
for ironing out inequities will
probably increase skilled tool
m X S, automatic operators
and set-up men, first and Sec
ond class millwrights and cleo
tricians, and head millwrights,
head electricians and d
painters all 5 cents an hour.
The contract runs for w o
years, but may be reopened any
time for wage increase on sixty
days notice.
All previous benefits were
maintained, with some improve
ments and Qualifications being
agreed upon.
Melvin Schultz, International
representative, helped with the
last few negotiating sessions
which had been carried on since
May 8 by the committee con-
sisting of John Grup, chairman;
Cap Andrews, vice chairman;
Ralph Young, secretary, and

will do more good than harm.
Movies and radio have paid off
in many ways. Forty years ago
Americans spoke lots of bad
grammar and numerous dialects.
Now we speak a nearly uniform
and correct language.
With astonishment I read that
the world has reached a low
stage. That perhaps return of
the dark ages is ahead.
World Still Wonderful.
Well, I remember go years ago
when I was young. Then the
world was a wonderful place.
Later, around World War I,
many adults of my generation
were saying the world had gone
to pot. that children's morals and
everything else were getting
worse. The imminent return of
the dark ages was stressed then
as much as today. But my chill
dren, and other children, thought
the world a wonderful place.
Today it is the same story. And
today the children in my new
family think the world is a Won
derful place.
It seems to me that this head
shaking is mostly due to getting
old. 1t is one of the first signs
of old age. No youthful spirit
accepts this defeatism. No aged
person needs to feel gloomy about
the future. The gloom is just a
bad habit.
Science has given us more of
everything, including more op-
portunity to develop morally and
spiritually We have so much
that we do not yet comprehend
the full extent.
Against the fears of destruction
and enslavement, the world has
a guarantee. Vice President John
Nance Garner named this guar
antee-"men of good will" The
world is seeded with them.
