After nines veeks, nany have now exhausted their savings and cashed their remaining war bounds. Even if the strike should be settled shortly, there will be a pericd of weeks before all the workers-van be put back to work and be- fore they will receive a pay. In the meantime, they are ineligible for unemployment compensation. Nor has thg/UJAW-CIO treasury sufficient funds to pay strike benefits to the thousands of individuals and families duevralved. ing roup of Americans, listed as initial sponsors on this A AS aetuonmriehad a Hn Te be oe eS ek er ee ms er ad Cal e408 Ge oe Ve eases FF oi letterbead, have joined in a fund-raising drive to aid“the families of GM strikers. The National Committee is being joined by over 100 pro- zinent Michigan Citizens who have constituted a State Committee on this appeal. The sponsors of this fund-raising campaign believe that the Aeapon of hunger is one that no American group wants used against an- otner. It should have no bearing on the outcome of the strike at GM. Hunger and need are not the foundations on which to achieve reconversio. “ani the building of the post-war world. In the nawe of these distinguished citizens, I urgently appeal to you for an immediate and generous contribution to aid the families of GM strikers. The Committee will take extreme care to have the handling of all funds properly audited. Distribution to those demonstrating actual need will be made according to policies established by a subcommittee consisting of social workers experienced in relief work. Contributions should be made payable te the Citizens’ Committee to Aid Families of GM Strikers, and should be forwarded to Mr. I,-Pokempner, iivesurer, Michigan Branch, Citizens' Committee to Aid Families of GM Strikers, 809 Hammond Building, Detroit 26, Michigan.
