U.S. Property Destruction
Destruction of post office prop,

Burt E, Hawkins, postmaster,

Children playing In the
grounds and lobby of the Klnm

Intent, children are destructive,

shrubbery and chalked walls,
Hawkins said he realized that
children who live In the neigh

places to play but pointed out
that this building is not a recrea

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

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
