S. government must be stopped, Burt E, Hawkins, postmaster, warned today. Children playing In the grounds and lobby of the Klnm ath Falls post office brought forth this statement from the postmaster. Without malicious Intent, children are destructive, he said, as evidenced by broken shrubbery and chalked walls, Hawkins said he realized that children who live In the neigh borhood do not have many places to play but pointed out that this building is not a recrea tion center, and the government spends money on the upkeep which might as well bo dlvortcd to other channels If children are to be allowed to deface It. He stated that a group of chil dren broke shrubbery In the rrnunds last Sunday and stripped one tree entlroly of buds and new growth, leaving only a fow scrnggly stmns.

See ' AMAZING HEARING POWER You've never seen or heard anything like it! You will say it's incredible I A battery so small It barely covers the end of your thumb yet so powerful it will amaze you I Come in and try it! FREE no chargel You aren't getting machinery, Mr. Farmer, because... PICKET LINES have taken the place of PRODUCTION LINES! ...so don't blame your Implement Dealer! Your implement dealer had planned and expected to have his display floor filled with new implements and tractors weeks ago. And we had planned to make them had told our dealers and our farmer customers they would have new equipment " and plenty of service parts for the 1946 spring work. And we had hoped to sell these ma chines at no advance in price. Real Production Had Started When the war ended, our organization bent every effort to increase production, with the result that in the last months of 1945 ma chinery was being built in very substantial quantities. Here are a few figures: PRODUCTION ITIM NOV. 1943 DEC. 1945 Tractor 7,271 7,432 Combines..., 2,345 2,526 Cultivators 3,482 3,301 Hay Loaders 209 982 Plow .. .6,185 6,702 Plowi art mado In our Canton and Chattanooga World, wfilch aro not on itrtko. January production war 7,747 pfowi. Both your dealer and we were encouraged by this production picture at the turn of the year. But the strike changed all that. As you know, the CIO United Farm Equipment & Metal Workers of America called a strike in ten of our plants, on January 21, 1946. What Is The Strike About? Wages are a basic issue. At the time of the strike, Harvester employes were among the highest paid workers in American industry. When the strike began, the average hourly INTERNATIONAL earnings in the ten plants, not including overtime, were $1.15H. If present wage pro posals are adopted, this figure will become $1.33H per hour. , ' . . . . When the strike began, negotiations were broken off by the Union on the issue of com pulsory union membership. The Company has no desire to weaken the Union. It recog nizes certain reasonable needs of the Union. . But the Company does oppose compulsory unionism. It feels strongly that an em ploye's membership should be a matter of his own choice. Material Casts and Price Relief Wages and materials are the great costs of operating our business together they con sume all but a few cents of every dollar the Company takes in. Wages are obviously . going to be high and nobody knows just how high material costs will go. In the face of rising costs of materials, the Company does not see how it can pay the wage increases recommended by a Govern ment fact finding board until it has definite and satisfactory assurance from the Govern ment that reasonable price relief will be . granted to the Company within a reasonable period of time. This matter is of such im portance that it will not be discussed here, but will be covered by future advertisements devoted to both prices and profits. Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we can assure you that no customer is more eager than we are to resume production. Wis are doing and shall continue to do everything in our power to bring about a fair settlement as soon as possible. i HARVESTER Af . of 1i '-,,.!
