Cleveland ALCOA Local
sending four to ALCO Con-
ference to be held in Chicago,
December 18th i'm the MOrri-
son Hotel. They are:
Herman Paul, President, Paul
Gecking, Charles Pelley and
John Henson. The three ALCOA
locals in UAW-CIO have been
invited to send delegates to dis
cuss ways and means of improv-
ing collective bargaining with
the Aluminium Co. of America.
The locals are located in Yer
non, California, Chicago, Illinois
and Cleveland, Ohio.
Metals Cutback Will DrasticalIy
Reduce Die Cast Employment.
The orders of the National
Production Authority that the
use of aluminium and zinc, be
cutback will slice die casting
employment in the next few
months by nearly one third. The
Die Casting Department wired
number of important die casting
manufacturers in the country to
find out how the cutbacks will
affect die casting employment.
At the time this newsletter went
to press replies were heard from
considerable number. The
Doe hler Jarvis Corporation
wired: Replying to your wire
we expect to work fully through
December. Effect of restrictions
in metals after January 1st is
not yet fully known. If the re-
strictions do go into effect as we
understand them now the result
ing cut in our present factory
employment of 5000 may be 25
per cent"
Mr.. Sanford of the Cleveland
Hardware Company said that
the order requires them to re-
duce the use of zinc by 20 per
cent for the first quarter and of
aluminium: 20 per cent in Janu-
ary; rs per cent in February;
and 35 per cent in March. Mr..
Sanford stated that correspond
ing reductions would have to be
made in the number of en-
ployees if orders not affected by
the cutback were not received
and that at present he saw no
possibility of receiving any such
orders in any appre a b ! e
amount.
The Union Die Casting Com
pany of Los Angeles wired: "Re-
tell cuts on metals especially |
zinc will probably cause layoff
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-12-15

of twenty per cent of production
workers by mid January. We
recommend discontinuance o1
stockpiling at least until defense
orders are actually placed for
which non ferrous metals are re-
quired.
Schultz Die Casting Company
of Toledo, Ohio wired: "Retel
the twenty per cent cut back in
zinc will reduce employment in
our plant by at least twenty per
cent"
Universal Die Casting Com
pany, Los Angeles, California
wired: "Retel material restric-
tions look so severe at present
time will have possible cut back
of 25 per cent minimum of our
employees"
Lewis Turner of Dollin Die
Cast, Irvington, New Jersey
wired: Our guess is metals cut
back may at first produce cut in
employment up to Is to 20 per
cent. Some of this may be re-
covered if we can replace civil
ian cut backs with government
orders"
Richard Gosser, Vice-Presi-
dent of the UAW-CIO and Di-
rector of the Die Casting De-
partment is preparing proposals
to the National Production Au-
thority which, while giving rec
ognition to the necessity of pre-
pairing the country for defense
will lessen hardships to workers
in the die casting industry. Cos
ser stated: Nobody can argue
about the necessity of putting
this country on the kind of a
preparedness basis where we
can kick the teeth out of any
body who busts in our front
door, but little more judgment
has to be used. 1t just doesn't
make sense to me to order a
cutback of aluminium while the
Toeging Aluminium Plant in the
American zone in Germany is
being dismantled on our orders
and while we are not utilizing
to the fullest the production pos
sibilities of aluminium, zinc, and
copper in this country"

Ford's Huge Die Casting Plant
at Monroe Now UAW-CIO

Spread over acres and equip
ped with the most modern die
casting and plating machinery,
the Ford Motor Company is in
the business of making and plat
ing die castings. Unlike most die
casting plants, Ford has no
piecework. The UAW- -CIO is
now the bargaining agent in the
plant. Ken. Eckert participated
with Nelson Samp, Assistant Di-
rector of the Ford Department
in negotiations over the wage
rates to be paid.
The opening of this plant by
Ford adds another to the grow
ing list of users of die casting
who have gone into the manu-
facture of their own die castings.
General Motors now has die
casting plant set up in Arkansas.
Schultz Die Cast Get Another
Three Cent Raise
The three cents an hour cost
of living increase at the Schultz
Die Casting Company in Toledo,
Ohio, on December 1st is in ad-
dition to the three cents received
on September 1st and is in addi-
ton to the 18 cents an hour
package negotiated August 1st.
Richard Moorehead, President of
the UAW-CI0 Local at Schultz
stated that the cutbacks in metal
ordered by the National Produc-
ton Authority will reduce die
casting employment at Schultz
by 20 to 80 per cent. The COM
pany has been operating on
day to day basis of metal supply
for some time.
Local 1868 To Hold Christmas

Lee Schockcor, new president

neering Company in Cleveland,
announced that his local union
will hold a Christmas Party Sat

in Newburg Hall at the corner
of Broadway and Canton Streets.
The Tool and Die contract has
been opened for negotiations on
wage increase.
Mine Mill Wage Settlements
in Die Casting
The last issue of the Mine Mill
paper published wage settle
ments in some of the few re-
naming die casting plants they
still have under contract. The
figures speak for themselves:

DoehIer Jarvis Workers Get
Another Increase
In accordance with the con-
tract with the Company which
provides for automatic wage in
creases as the cost of living
rises, all Doehler-Jarvis en-
ployees will get an additional 3
cents an hour increase beginning
with the first pay in December.
This is in addition to the cents
an hour cost of living increase
received by them three months
ago and the 19c to 24c an hour
package negotiated last summer.
UAW-CIO President Walter
Reuther stated that: This latest
boost in living costs is a fore
taste of much worse to come un-
less effective action against in
flation is taken quickly if
prices continue to rise as they
have during the recent months
and the trend of wholesale
prices indicates they will-the
total cost of living will increase
at an even more alarming rate in
the months ahead.
Rising living costs underline
the urgent necessity for Con-
gress to replace the unworkable
price provisions of the Defense
Production Act with effective
price provisions of the Defense
Production Act with effective
price control legislation in order
to prevent even more serious
damage to the living standards,
morale and productive efficiency
of low-income families. Sky
rocketing profits call for drastic
excess profits taxation to be en-
acted without further stalling by
the reactionary Congressional
coalition of Republicans and
Southern Democrats"

Doehler Council Meeting
Settled Many Issues
At its last meeing in New
York a new pay and production
plan for die casting operators
was worked out with manage
ment.
While the new casting pay
plan was the most important
point on the Doehler Council
agenda, the Council was success
full in coming to agreement with
the Doehler Company on large
number of other issues. Of these
the most outstanding was the in.
crease of the basic bonus hourly
rate for the die workers, by nine
cents per hours. This, of course,
will mean higher earnings for
the die makers. New bonus plans
will be developed for a number
of other departments within the
next so days.
ALI of the above raises are in
addition to those recently nego-
tiated in the new contract and
the recent cost of living in
creaSeS.
The New York meeting with
the company was headed by Pete
Zvara representing the Interna-
tional Union and the National
Doehler Council.
The Council functioned under
the chairmanship of Eddie Ro-
man with Ernie Love keeping
the records straight as the Coun-
cils Secretary. Other members
of the Council are: E. Evans and
r. Birtwhistle of Toledo; v.
Fitzpatrick, r. Robinson, j.
Greenbay and M. Joblonsky of
Chicago; j. Ross, w. Guigino,
r. Conway and H. MacGregger
of Batavia; H. Hartenstein, w.
Widger, H. Evans, S. Peart and
F. Lohagen from Pottstown.
Die Casting Council to Meet
The National Die Casting
Council of the UAW-CIO will
meet in the Pantlind Hotel,
Grand Rapids, Michigan on Feb
ruary 3rd and 4th. The sessions
will open at 1000 A. M. Richard
Gosser, Director of the Die Cast
ing Department will address the
Council. Two postponements of
the Council meeting were made,
one because of the Ohio State
Convention of the CIO and an
other because of conflicting
dates with other meetings. A
wage survey now being made by
the Die Casting Department will
be ready by the time of the
Council meeting.

Ger Of the cervix, one of the
greatest cancer killers of Amer
ican women.
This was reported today to the
Fifth International Cancer Re-
search Congress by DR.. Roy Hertz
of the National Cancer Institute
at Bethesda, Md.
The hormone Is progesterone,
the female sex hormone needed
to maintain pregnancy. It also
is known to have q regulating
effect on growth. and cancer is
a wild or uncontrolled growth.
Huge doses of the hormone have
shrunk cancer of the cervix-the
neck of the uterus or womb-in
II out of 80 women treated, DR..
Hertz said. The other 13 women
experienced other minor benefits.
On some women, he said, the
cancer retreated to one-third of
its original size after daily in
jections of progesterone for 100
days. Bleeding also was stopped
or slowed.

Iington-had far advanced cervical
cancer. The cancer had invaded
nearby tissues SO badly that OPP
erations to remove all cancer could
not be done.
The retreat of the cancer under
hormone shots permitted extensive
operations to remove all organs
affected by the cancer.
Such operations are risky, DR..
Hertz said. and treatments by hor-
none alone are being continued to
learn whether 1t will knock out
the cancer.
DR.. Hertz showed color photo
graphs of the retreat Of some
cancers. Cancer spread widely
over the cervix had Shrunk to far
smaller areas.
The American doctor spoke after
DR.. Eugenio Maurizio. director of
obstetrics at the University of
Parma, Italy, reported similar re-
duction of cervical cancer by
doses Of the same hormone plus
the male sex hormone, testoster-
one. He used large doses OF both.
In another study. DR.. Poul An
dersen of Aarhus, Denmark. said
women with cancer of the lining
of the uterus also were suffering
often from diabetes, high-blood
pressure and obesity.
This combination of troubles
seems to indicate a hormone dis
order perhaps of the pituitary or
adrenal glands, DR.. Andersen said.
Tiny living plants, present in
the body from the time of birth,
may be the seeds Of later cancer,
DR.. Frank Gerlach said yesterday
The living plants, he said. are
fungi-like the spores that make
bread moldy.
DR.. Gerlach, an Austrian scien-
tist formerly of Vienna, now is di-
rector of the meteorological Insti-
tute of Chile in Santiago. He left
Austria in 1948. He was one of
four scientists who reported
strange connections between can
Ger and fungi.
/ DR.. Gerlach said he had found
one tiny form of fungus in every
one Of several thousand cancers
In animals and in human beings.
He said his studies indicated
this fungus is present in all per-
sons. right from birth. BY itself,
it doesn't cause cancer, he said.
But when conditions are right,
due to injury of the body, hor-
none upset or other things, he
thinks it helps start cancers.

 To conduct a drive to raise the money Dr. Johnson has named Ben Kraft, chairman, and Jorgen Fredrickson. and Sunday, Oct. 22, has been se1 as the start of a 3-day can2 paign. All the requirements can be. ] provided if the goal is reached, Dr. Johnson said, but if not attained a program will be de- /, vised on the basis of funds available, although $35O0 is felt to be the minimum requir- ed for the needs of the stu dents and community.

Flag Designers Watch Stolen

Having any watch stolen is bad enough, but for Ben Ben son, who reports the theft of his watch this week, the loss is a major tragedy.
 Ben Benson as a youth won a contest for furnishing the design of Alaska's famed blue and gold-starred emblem when he was a grade school student at Seward. In recognition for his service an American Le- zion post presented him with a watch bearing the flag design and his name.
 When Ben, now a resident of Kodiak, went fishing this summer he left the watch on display in a counter at Donnel- ley & Acheson's store. In Sep tember the store was entered but nothing was reported talk en. This week loss of the watch was discovered and it is pre- stunned it was taken at that time. No other watches nor any other articles from the showcase are missing, Bob Acheson, owner, reports.
 A reward is being offered for return of the watch which means so much to Ben and it will be appreciated if any one having knowledge of it's whereabouts will report to the store.
