II AM GOING to try to dedicate my next few columns
Il to few things that make in my humble
opinion think will start off by talking about the
Blade editorial Friday, January 10, 1851.
When you read that editorial over couple of
times it makes you think the Blades face certainly
must be red the way they trying to offer their
apologies because of the fact the Swartzbaugh plant
did not out of town. When you really read it
you begin to think the Blade is mad because they did
not move
1t is really wonderful the large spread the Blade
gives the Union Equity League note in the last
report that Mr. Billhemer, who represents Scale says
the he went out of Local IL because they
wanted to run their business. wonder why Bill
heimer and his colleagues such Bolnan, are trying
to run the WHY'S Overland workers business 1t
seems to they have big enough problem taking
care of their So far the workers at Scale have
not been given comparable increase to the rest OF
the workers in this community.
That's neither here there. / would say that is
the Scale workers business and BIlheiner'S How
ever, think people want to be decent they should
accetp they have a right to their business.
When they cry to the high heavens for this right they
should not try to abuse other persons rights by try
ing to their business.

they should for of the four top officers spots

real trade unionist could do would be to laugh at
them, because what plight the union would be in
with such leader Billheimer.

To The Editor:
Now is the time for plain talk from rank and
file member of the UAW-CIO Local IL, WHY'S Over
land Unit to UAW CIO members.
The newspapers attacking through our
leader, Richard Gosser They have special interest
In Gosser alone 1t is who he represents-you and /
and thousands of other members who make I'M
lon as strong as it is.
If the newspapers attack leadership,
please bear in mind they do the to you also
In doing so, they, the newspapers, have only one
accomplishment in mind-to break up UAW CIO Lo-
cal IL in Toledo which has raised the living standards
of every person who works for living whether he
or she belongs to union not.
In days gone by when labor trying to or
ganize, did these newspapers help to organize and
negotiate contract with your shop to bring your
living standards up to where the laborng man could
exist? These questions every laboring person
should ask themselves. Remember, one is invul-
nerable in labor circles You may be the next to be
attacked.
REMEMBER, IF THEY GET OUR LEADERSHIP
TODAY, TOMORROW THEY WILL GET YOU!
1t is doubtful that this letter will be printed in

To The Toledo Union Journal

The following is what wrote the Daily Forum
column in The Toledo Blade.
just writing few lines to ask you whether you
have examined your conscience lately wonder if
in trying to deprive my family and myself of the
benefits that you condemn countries like Russia for
refusing to give her people You have some expana-
ton to give both yourself and me-
You certainly conducted real campaign of char
acter assassination against leader Richard Gosser
In order to prevent fellows like from getting
pension, increased wages hospitalization and other
benefits. Why? 1t to if you were acting in
a truly honest sort of way you would have given
support in fight for these things when you know
that the figures show that industry well afford
these things.
You hardly blame for supporting Dick
Gosser thousand per cent when he led the fight
to get these things for the guy in the shop when the
most vicious attack against
put on by you.
I'll stand behind fellows like Dick Gosser long
as he does the terrific job he's doing.
Sincerely yours, really and truly thousand per
cent supporter of Dick Gosser,

Rt. 6, Box 376
Toledo, Ohio

Dear Sir:
Every night pick up the Blade and look to see
what you are calling union people now. Usually
there is something there about U.S. and whenever it
is it is calling us names one way another.
Sometimes you call Dick Gosser names. Some
times you call Walter Reuther names or Phil Murray
Emil Macy Or maybe one of the International
Representatives of the UAWCIO is getting it, But
there's usually some kind of name calling.
What would you think of newspaper that never
spoke of convicted speeders anything except
speed maniacs' or never called persons who had
been arrested for drunkenness as anything but
"souses'?
Imagine what your front page would look like
if applied that trick to the whole news depart
ment Speed Maniac Joe Brown and Souse Ed Smith
were two of the winners in recent amateur photo
contest in the Toledo Blade. Honorable mention
went to Dictator Richard Gosser."
Or 1T might 60 like this, "Newstwster Paul Block
Junior and Story Slanter Jim O'Rourke, a reporter
for the Blade were named to the Publicity Commit
tee of the Community Chest Chairman is Rent
Gouger George w. Sillypoop"
Why don't you just try to turn out newspaper
with news in it instead?
Yours truly,

Letters To The Editor

have never written letter in my life to an
editor OF any newspaper but hardly contain
myself any longer. Your vicious campaign against
labor in this town, and Mr.. Blocks personal fight
against Mr. Gosser has gotten to the point where it
is nauseating.
Certainly you must realize that the Toledo Blade
not the UAW-CIO, is chasing industry right out of
Toledo Not only that but my friends other cities
tell me- and well believe them, that the Blade
is really giving Toledo notorious name Good COM
mon sense will tell you that this certainly will pre-
vent industry from moving here and this despite the
fact that industry has doomed and prospered here
and has had good relations with labor. The Blade
itself not so long ago. sent out circulars this and
commended labor relations in this town.
In my opinion, Richard Gosser has done tre-
mendous job not only for labor but for industry
well. The whole unrest and upheaval in this town
seems to be in the twisted brain of the behind
the stories in the Blades attack Richard Gosser,
the UAW-CIO as well as all of the working people
in this great town of 1t would do well if the
business and professional in this town would
realize the harm it is doing them as well
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:


For year the Toledo Bankers and In
dustrialists have been conducting campaign to
smash Union and reduce standards of living.
They have organized against and have spent many
thousands of dollars in attempt to gain their ends.
The chief spokesman for the employers is Mil
1ionaire Paul Block, Jr, publisher of Toledos only
two daily papers
Against this combination of wealthy bankers
plant owners and newspapers the Union has had to
fight for its very life This fight is still going and
will continue until the Union has defeated its enemies
and won the right to represent the worker.
The chief target of the companies Local IL
and the UAW leadership, especially Brother Gosser
In my opinion, every Union and woman who
wants to retain gains and improve conditions
must support Brother Gosser and the Union in this
fight. IL stand solid and united against those who
want to destroy we will win.

Veterans Information

Q-Lately I've been reading lot about "side
payments" CT home loans being illegal. Exactly
what is "side payment" and how is it made?
A-Here's an example that should answer your
question. veteran wants to buy home, priced
at $12 0O0 with CT loan but VAS reasonable
value for that home is set at $1l5OO The seller
refuses to down, the veteran, in his eager
ness to get the home, agrees to make under
"side payment of $500 that would not be
reflected in the purchase price reported to VA
Such payment is illegal 1t also defeats the pur-
pose of the CT Bill to protect veterans against
cessive prices for homes
Q-I have certificate of eligibility for GI train
ing which received from VA back in 1916. May
that certificate to enroll in school next month?
A-No. Certificates issued by VA prior to Octo-
Der 49, 1949 are void and must be replaced with
ones. The new VA certificate will show the
course and school the veteran has selected, and
will be good only for that course and school.
Q-I have been training under Public Law 16
for years and have been declared rehabilitated.
I'd like to continue training under the CT Bill,
I have year of entitlement remaining May
do SO?
Ayes. You may utilize your remaining en-
titlement for CT Bill training, though you were
rehabilitated under Public Law 16. But you must
begin CT Bill training before July Is, 1851
in order to continue thereafter.
Q-Yesterday salesman came around selling
subscriptions to veterans magazine which he said
endorsed by VA. Is that true?
A-No. VA has never endorsed any magazine
or other publication. The salesman misrepre-
senting the facts and should be reported to the
proper authorities.
QI just received small inheritance and I'd
like to pay my CT home loan in full. Is that per-
missable?
Ayes. All CT loans may be paid off ahead of
the due date without fee penalty the veterans
part.
Q-I am conducting CT job training program
in my commercial garage, and want to increase
frances, 4 ahOr
it?
A-Notify the State Approving Agency in your
State. That agency, in turn will inform VA of
the wage scale, that CT subsistence allow
ance payments can be adjusted accordingly
Q-My husband, World War III veteran. died
recently. What will happen to the CT lean he OBJ
tanned for house?
A-You may take over his CT loan contract and
keep making payments ON your home under its
terms.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1951-01-26

Dear Sir:
don't know if you will print this or not because
it is the truth
There is enough union people i'm Toledo and their
families who are sick of reading the filth you keep
printing about union our officers and especi
ally Dick Gosser, if they all stopped taking your
dirty Toledo Blade at once you would be in a mess.
So far nothing like that has happened except here
and there But the way you going it might happen
and you wouldn't like it. If you want to do something
to straighten yourself out why don't you do story
about what the union like before Dick Gosser
got to be of the leaders of it, and what it was
like in the shops in Toledo before that? And then
tell the people what it is like now That would be
story everybody in the union would read because
it would be the truth and it would show why Dick
Gosser gets SO much support from the workers when
ne wants 1T. He gets it because he has done grand
and glorious job for workers. But YOU probably
won't print that this letter

It's easier to shield children from dirt than to
explain to them later.
That's why try to scrub any dirty words see
off the sidewalks before they notice them And that
is why hide the Toledo Blade from them.Pve been

its dirty campaign against the International UAW
