Violation of the stabiiZation agree
ment on two jobs done for the Defense
Plant Corporation, government
agency, were charged in the statement,
which declared that in both cases up
to this time the Defense Plant COrpO-
ration has absolutely refused to abide
by the decisions as handed down by
the Board of Review These two in
stances are merely cited as examples
of IL number of similar cases.
The statement goes on to say:
"RecOgniZing that any agreement to
be worthwhile must be observed by all
parties thereto, it is our opinion that
unless and until the agencies of the
L. $. Government, parties to this
agreement, signify their Willingness to
abide by and adhere to its provisions
that we, of labor, feel that we should
not be obligated to abide by the terms
of this agreement.
Agreement Kept BY Labor
Since the signing of the StabiliZa
ton agreement for the building indus
try, it has been adhered to on the part
of labor. In subStantiation of this
statement, we respectfully refer you
to the testimony of Gen. BrehOn Som
ervell before the House Military AT
fairs Committee in which he com
mends very highly the cooperation ant
aid he received from the organizations
affiliated with the Building and Con
Struction Trades Department in carry
, ing out the defense and war building
! programs.
: "The cooperation referred to by Gen
SOmervell was not only extended to his
department at the time he made the
statement, but to all government agen
cieS, parties to the Sterilization agree
ment, and such cooperation has beer
continued up to the present time whel
the war construction program is abou
completed.
1T is regrettable to feel that after
such cooperation has been rendered b!
the organizations of The Building ano

now find these agencies of the govern

Are GroundIess

Emile F'aure, owner of the Faure
Tractor and Implement company, In

Der 10, in which the Office of Price
Administration cites his company
for alleged violations of price CELL
ings, declared in an interview that
the allegations are completely false.
The dispatch also set out that Faure
failed 10 keep proper records.
Il have the utmost respect for
the emergency price control act and
for the thousands of patriotic citi-
zens who have generously given
much of their time to help control
initiation and secure fair distribu-
ton CT critical goods" Faure de-
clared.
This is to state to our customers
in particular and to other users of
equipment and the public in general
that no equipment handled by us
has been sold at over ceiling prices
at any time. But on the other hand
we have sold new implements and
tractors consistent with OPA prices
and below pre-war prices.
This company has honestly and
diligently, both in spirit and in fact,
endeavored always to deal honestly
with every customer as regards his
wants and we have conscientiously
endeavored to observe every regula-
ton applicable to such transactions
that we knew of. We have not been
advised of any farmer in Imperial
valley who has joined OPA's COM
plant.
Our sales records and prices have
been clearly and Systematically kept
and we invite any farmer, grower or
bureau agriculturally interested to
inspect such records. Furthermore
we believe every farmer, contractor
and user of our equipment will sub
stantiate the fact that every repre-
sentation or statement made by us
in any trancaction has been kept
faithfully and honestly by us as
regards prices, regulations, perform
ance or guarantee of work per-
formed.
Under the circumstances, and be-
cause we believe the issue involved
is technical and legalistic, we feel
that it is only right and just to
ourselves to have this statement
published" Faure concluded.
