Bill of Grievance Protest Hits Ohio Governor Lausche
About 1,000 CIO workers veterans and supporters marched two blocks to the State House in Columbus to deliver a Bill of Grievance. They labeled Gov Lausche an absentee governor and demanded unemployment relief housing and a soldiers bonus. The march followed a CIO United Electrical Workers conference backing bills for retroactive unemployment benefits housing at 35 dollars rent and 5 thousand dollars home price, plus a $10 per month state bonus and anti discrimination measures. Lausche opposed paying unemployment insurance to strikers and favored leaving the bonus question to the 1947 legislature. The governor was reportedly out of town and the doors were kept closed.
