Bought Sacks
In their conversation, Long
mild, Guthwrlght told him ho had
bought tho 0000 sacks from a
stranger at Merrill for $1000
cash. Tho stranger had told him
they were brought up from Mt.
Shasta, Calif.
Gathwrlght then sold the
bundles of sacks to Jerry Short,
making an $80 profit on the deal,
and put them In tho Short-Chey-no
storage house on the old
Algoma road.
Long testified that he had al
ready turned tho case over to
the sheriff and told Gathwrlght
that he couldn't withdraw his
complaint,
Sheriff Low had testified that
ho had found tho sacks at tho
Short Cheyne warehouse, the
next duy. There were H75fi sacks
there at that time and the re
mainder hud been used. The
bales and loose sacks were piled
In the courtroom and tagged for
Identification.
Low had them taken from the
Short-Cheyno ntorugo on Fcbru
ary zb ana piuccu m roopies
warehouse in Klamath Falls, to
be held as evidence.
Marked Bundles
Because of the discrepancy of
14 days between the time Low
found the sacks and the time
ho had them moved. Defense
Attorney U. S. Balcnllhe, repre
senting Gathwrlght attempted to
discredit Low's story thut they
wero tho same bundles. How
ever. Low had marked the
bundles when he found them
and checked for his marks when
the sacks were brought to the
local warehouse.
Short gave Low a check for
the sacks used and the sheriff
testified that he had kept the
check for several months, then
had endorsed it over to Long.
When It was cashed the money
was placed In Low's safe, and Is
still there.

--to its lawmakers, its economists, its farmers, its industrial workers and its business men
Every thinking American must realize that. this country
now faces a situation without parallel either during the
war or before it.
Before the war we were busy at production of all the
things required by a peacetime economy. .We maintained
a high standard of living, supported the government
with our taxes, exported to foreign countries and en
joyed imports from them.
Then came the war. Production was stepped up to
unprecedented levels and devoted almost entirely to
military needs. Production of civilian goods was reduced
to the barest necessities.
Now the war is over. We turn again to supplying
civilian needs. But today these needs; unfilled for four
long years, are at the highest peak of all time. -Our gov
ernment's tax requirements are no longer the stagger
ing needs of war but they are still the enormous needs of
war's aftermath many times greater than before the
war. There is also immediate, urgent need for all kinds
of goods to aid the recovery and rehabilitation of a war
, torn world.
The simple fact is that we have a big job ahead of us.
We can't get it done on the prewar basis of work.
We must produce far more now than ever before!
Recognizing these problems we have made the fol
lowing proposal:
October 27, 1945
International Union UAW-CIO,
411 West Milwaukee Avenue,
Detroit 2, Michigan.
Gentlemen:
General Motors proposes that the UAW-CIO join with it in petitioning
the congress to change the wages and hours act to make the standard work
week 45 hours in place of 40 hours during the postwar reconstruction
period. This proposal is made recognizing that the country hos a big load
to carry in cleaning up the aftermath of the war and that under these
conditions we can oil have more only if we all produce more.
The reason for this proposal to change the law is that the present law
putting the penalty of overtime of 50 on the extra hours over 40 dis
courages employers and business generally from planning such extra hours
of production thereby tending to reduce the country to a 40-hour week
when the country and the world are demanding more production at' lower
prices. e
With this change in the work week we propose that all wage rates be
Increased approximately 6 so that the men working 45 hours at the new
straight time rate will make as much money as they do now for 45 hours
of work. This proposal would increase the earnings of those working less
than 45 hours, and would also Increase the extra compensation for ony
Hours worked over 45 since such hours would be paid for at time-and-a-half
based on the new rates.
Your first impression of this proposal probably will be that it is a reacr
tionary Idea and not in the Interests of labor. It is not reactionary any
more than working longer hours In the war emergency was. We are sure
that It Is in the best interests of all the people of our country and par
ticularly In the best interests of all workmen.
If the 40-hour week was sound prewar and the 48-hour week during
the war, the 45-hour week is sound for the Immediate period following
such a world catastrophe as we have been through. All Americans are
expecting an even higher standard of living postwar than we had prewar.
This can be accomplished at this time only by producing more as we must
now carry the huge additional tax burden and other expenses growing out
of the war. The simple fact Is that we have a big job ahead of us. We
cannot get it done on the prewar basis of work. We must produce far more
than we did in the past.
The workmen of other, nations will work far more than 45 hours. In
many cases they will hove only a bare subsistence living while they are
doing it. Because of the lack of good tools and machinery like those sup
plied by the employers of .our country.
This proposal has much to recommend it.
;1. It avoids a substantial reduction in weekly earnings.
2. It prevents inflation and preserves the purchasing power
of Wor Bonds, insurance, social security and other savings.
3. It does not upset the balance between agricultural
workers, salaried workers and industrial workers. .
4. It will produce more goods and services and the people
of our country will have more. . . , . '
5. It will create more good jobs and the employment of
more people. Just as many men and women will be employed .
, in our plants on o 45-hour week as on a 40-hour week. And
it will allow the use of our plants for the extra five hours when
they would otherwise be idle.
- 6. It will stimulate business activity and create more jobs
- and result in the employment of many more people in all re
. . lated businesses. . '
7. If our plants could be scheduled to work on this basis
we would produce nine cars where we would otherwise have
produced only eight. It will mean that one man out of nine
will have a car who would otherwise go without.
We believe that a 45-houj week is necessary and desirable dur
ing the period of postwar reconstruction for the following reasons:
1. During this period our country will be shipping .food,
materials and machinery to other countries all over the world
to help them rehabilitate themselves and avoid starvation.
2. We still have the extra expense of bringing our fighting
men back home and fitting them into civilian work.
3. We still have high taxes which necessarily are a charge
against industry and all producers.
4. To develop and apply technological improvements and
to reorganize industry takes time years not months.
It is hoped that at the end of this postwar reconstruction period:
1. Our relation with other countries will be on the basis of
a two-way street where we shall get back goods and services
for those we supply.'
2. The fighting men will be back at peacetime work and
the aftermath of the war will be over.
3. Government expense and the number of government
employees will be reduced and not be such an excessive burden
on all producers. "
4. Technological improvements the better ways of doing
all the things, that are necessary to deliver products to cus
tomers will have become effective.
We can then have a 40-hour week with more leisure time
and more goods and services and can continue to improve the
standard of living of all Americans.
Your very truly,
C. E. WILSON,
President.
WHY WE BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD FAVOR THIS PROPOSAL:
It would help America to produce more and have
more
It would provide for higher wages without the certain
necessity of higher prices
It would help to strengthen buying power, sustain
the tax requirements and maintain the value of War
Bonds, savings and insurance
It would be good for the working man, good for the
employer", good for the farmergood for the professional
man, good for the housewife
Good for America!
