plicable 20 all Goodyear plants.
Questions Of n purely local ma
ture will be handled through me-
gotiations between the local un-
ion concerned and the local
management.
In our judgment. only the sign
ing OF a national agreement will
stabilize labor relations In Good
year plants and so eliminate the
danger Of work stoppages. Our
judgment ON this point is vindi-
Gated by the experience Of several
other industries which have set
tied grave disputes in an orderly
manner through the medium Of
national agreements with CLIO un-
ions. We refer to General Motors.
Chrysler. U. S. Steel. and the two
leading glass corporations OF
America. At this moment Westing-
house is negotiating a national
agreement with the Clio.
Complete Unity
THESE industries have signed
national agreements. They have
found that such agreements pave
the way for harmonious. efficient
and cooperative relationships be-
tween management and labor.
There is no good reason why
Goodyear cannot sign a national
agreement with the United Rub
Der Workers of America. Clio.
IN view Of this situation. the
conference has adopted q policy
Of complete unity between all 10
Gals in Goodyear plants. providing
for complete cooperation in handl-
ing disputes and grievances which
may arise. The conference has de-
cided that a grievance Of one shall
be the grievance OF all.
1.-THE Conference has instruct
ed Director Robert J. Davidson

and Rubber Co.. for an immedi-
ate conference 10 begin negotia-

workers, representing all plants,
has been empowered TO ncgo-
tiate. II will have the assistance
of Director Davidson. Pres. 5. II.
Dalrymple. and such other as
sistance as may be necessary.
Seek Cooperation
1T is our desire to accomplish
our ends through the accepted sys'
tenn OF collective bargaining. We
are particularly DESTROYS OF 1t at
this time because the interests OF
national defense require the ut.
most in employer labor coopera'
ton. We trust that the company
shares our interest in the welfare
Of our country at this critical
moment. and will demonstrate a
spirit of real cooperation with Us

lationships In all Goodyear plants
I'VE emphasize again that the
seven local unions represented

set forth at the conference"
