Nevertheless, the proce
should not be permitted to con-
tinue.
l am advising Attorney Lo-
well Goerlich that / shall be
available for questioning in all
three deposition hearings, sepa-
rately or at the same time, al
the discretion of the counsel fol-
all parties.
l have not changed my feel
ing that to submit me to ques-
tons without my consent in ar
action clearly intended to in.
clude the charge of crime is &
violation of my constitutions
right.
| do not withdraw my asser-
ton that a member of the union
can be expelled from member
ship for going to court before
exhausting the recourse avail
able to him under his union
constitution.
But l do take this position
with the hope that the union
will thereby benefit.

Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-05-26

Three sep a r a tie deposition
hearings now being conducted
in Toledo are all, in my opinion,
aimed directly at me, and
through me at organized labor
These are the suits against the
AWBC and the two libel suits
against the Blade.
In the conduct of these depo-
sition hearings by all of the at
torneys retained by or for the
Blade the questioning inevitably
gets around to one or another
of my alleged transactions.
Although originally the
charges of fraud and miScon-
duct made against me were re-
ported only by inference, the
Blade has recently abandoned
all restraint and is making naked
charges of wrongdoing.
While l was convinced that
this campaign was directed
against me personally, l felt ]
had the right to decide whether
or not to testify.
Now that | am persuaded that
this program is, in fact, an eff
fort to destroy Local IL and al
organized labor in Toledo, the
choice is no longer a matter OF
d e fe n ding the constitutional
rights which / believe | possess
So in this matter / waive them
in order to defend the existence
of the union.
In the past week, it has be-
come inescapably obvious to
me that this deposition process
coupled with shrewd headline
writing and savage editorial de.
nunciation of me personally, car
be used to injure the solidarity
of the organized workers in To.
ledo, and to shake the base o.
their bargaining strength.
1t has created a vehicle, care
fully nurtured by the Blade, fol-
all of those dissident elements
and mischief makers who always
infest labor unions.
This has not gone very far
The troublemakers have beer
exposed.

Living Costs Up
Again In April

WASHINGTON NPA) - The
cost of living has been rising
steadily ever since February, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, which announced May
20 that its consumers price in
dex rose again between mid
March and mid-April.
Increases n food, rents, and
especially in fuel, electricity
and refrigeration costs boosted
the index 0.2 per cent in the one
month. The index is still Ia
per cent below a year ago, but
this is accounted for by lower
prices for food, apparel, house
furnishings. On the other hand,
rents and the fuel-gas-and elec-
tricity items cost more than the
previous year.
