Rollin H. Everett lists contact details for the Greater Cincinnati Industrial Union Council CIO and provides a telephone number and address in Cincinnati Ohio. The item notes a main line of communication for the organization.
A national CIO study reviews 1941 profit structures in seven major aircraft companies. It argues 61 cents of every invested dollar came from surplus rather than capital, due to charging customers too much or underpaying workers. The piece labels this as a vicious circle, urging capitalism to reform before further damage.
The Times-Star editor Taft attacks CIO political activity as illegal under the Smith Connally Act. He denounces labor outreach while his own donations and family gifts to political campaigns are noted. He warns of consequences before November and insists the CIO will continue legal activity.
The piece accuses Congressman Elston of a poor voting record, calling his stance against consumer subsidies, military ballots, labor limits, and tax relief for the rich. It labels him pro special privilege and big interests, urging readers to mail The Sun to soldiers or sailors.
Washington. Montgomery Ward stands firm against government wartime controls while its leadership, led by Sewell Avery, resists contracts and union rules. Ward reports show large federal orders, 78,900 employees, 30 million customers, and significant supply roles for farmers, aiding war production despite protests.
The piece argues Mr. Avery opposes the clause as a wedge to a closed shop, unlike other employers who accept WLB orders during wartime. It notes unions trade maintenance of membership for workers' foregone right to strike, a quid pro quo this case challenges.
The piece argues the Montgomery Ward seizure framed as a legal issue masks a deeper clash between property rights and human rights. It condemns reactionary officials for opposing labor and asserts workers should unite for human rights, referencing historic violence against labor and warning that law becomes partisan.
The Philadelphia Record asserts Avery cannot defy the U S Government and urges unity in war efforts. The piece condemns prejudices from labor and business leaders like John L Lewis and emphasizes broad support for wartime duty and the nation’s production effort.
