Adding these two amounts to- gether and deducting the $24,- 232.30 as per the aduit state- ment, the local union in fact had a surplus of $23,986.87 for the year 1964. The International Union still owes the local union $6,642.17 spent from 1964 reve nues and this would be in addi- tion to the surplus $23,986.87 as outlined above. "The membership of Local 222 UAW should be further re- minded that our local union had a surplus of $83,688.94 for the first four months of 1965 after paying all expenses and our per capita tax to the Inter- national Union. "Now the people who are publishing the irresponsible statements both. to the press and in leaflet form know the true facts. These same people are making an all out effort to mislead the membership of Local 222 UAW and this is truly misrepresentation in its ugliest form. "GIVE THE FACTS" "Tf it could be said they didn't fully understand. our financial position or were ignor- ant of same, there may be some excuse, There are three members of the Right Wing Unity Group on the executive board of Local 222 and it is their responsibility to the mem- bership to give the true facts particularly when they are fully aware of our financial position. If they choose this form of misrepresentation sutely they cannot expect the membership to place any confidence or credibility in their ability to properly administer a local un- ion of over 16,000 members. "This should clarify some- what the distorted picture per- petrated by the Right Wing said many times that his office said many times that his osfice is always open to the mem- bership and if any member of Local 222 wishes to discuss this matter further see Russ at the Union Hall," Mrs. Condon last night asked that the board allow her son to attend St. Philip's School.
