Before Vacation
By Elizabeth Maauire

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Yost yes
terday few in from Siam, where Mr..
Yost has been serving in the foreign
service of the State Department.
They will be in town for few
days before leaving on vacation

Mrs. Yost was to have accom-
panied the Queen Mother of Siam
on the tour she had planned to
make of this country with the late
King Amanda Mahidol. The King
and his mother were to have been

King and Queen had been planned.
An American C-54 was flown
from Honolulu especially for the
Kings journey. which had been
scheduled for June l3. On June 9,
however, his untimely death came
as great blow to everyone.
The late King Amanda, Mrs. Yost
declared, was very nice person,
who was well-liked by his subjects.
He was serious minded, and rather
shy, she said, and had a dislike for
the pomp and ceremony connected
with his position. New King
Phumiphon, who is equally WE'LL
liked, she went on to say, is a witty
and amusing person, who takes
things In his stride.
King Phi niphon will fly to Switz-
erland to pursue his studies after
the body of his brother has been
cremated. According to custom, the
cremation will be 100 days after the
death Of the late King.
Visits en- route have been Cancelled.
as King Phumiphon's journey to
Switzerland will be in the opposite
direction from the one his brother
had planned.
The Queen Mother, Mrs. Yost
added, is an extremely pleasant per-
son, attractive looking and very
cordial. She especially likes Amer
lea, having lived in Boston for sew
eral years as a student

What about future prices on
farm machinery?

The judgmentof Harvester'sman-
agementnowisthatw e cannotsafe-
ly make the huge wage increase
recommended by the Government
until the Government authorizes
adequate increases in the prices
of farm machinery to cover the
resulting increased costs.
That is not a judgment that
makes us happy. The Company
does not want to raise prices. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos
sible, and we know III customers
prefer to have us do that. We have
produced at 1912 prices, n dhoped
we could continue to do so. we
have delayed seeking general price
relief in the hope that it could be
avoided. Now we are convinced
that it cannot be avoided any
longer. The price question must
be settled. Until it is settled we
do not see how we can settle the
wage question. Until the wage
question is settled we do not see
how we can resume production
and begin turning out the farm
machines which we know our
farmer customers need.
Because of the important stake
which both farmers and city dwell
ers have in this controversy, we
are bringing these matters to your
attention. Through the Cross cur
rents of today's conditions, we are
irving to chart a course that is fair
to u employees, to our farmer
customers, andtoo our stockholders.
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-20

materials continues to rise, obvi-
ously our Company will begin TO
operate at a loss at some point.
The exact point at which oper-
ating at a loss would start Is a
matter of Judgment. Government
agencies and union leaders may
have opinions as to where that
point is. But if they turn out to
be wrong, they can shrug their
shoulders and say: well, it wasn't
my responsibility. I didn't make
the decision"
The management of this Com
pany cannot and will not say that.
It dares not gamble. 1t has to be
sure. Continuation of our service
to millions of customers, the fu-
ture jobs of thousands of en-
ployes, and the safety of the in
vestments of $4,000 stockholders
depend on our making as correct a
decision as is humanity possible.
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-20
What about wages?

Wages have risen steadily for five
years. Before the strike which be-
gan on January 81 in ten of our
plants and which has choked off
nearly all farm machinery produc-
ton, earnings of employees of these
plants averaged $1.15M an hour,
not including any overtime. The
Union demanded a 81 cents per
hour increase and a Government
board has now recommended a
general increase of Is cents an
hour, which would make average
earnings $780, an hour. Weekly
average would be $53.40.
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-20
What about profits?

Risk is part of the American profit
and loss system, so we do not, of
course, ask either our customers
or the Government to guarantee
that we can be certain of profits
each year. The chart tells the
story of our profits during the war;
Although Harvester produced
more goods than ever before, it
had no desire to get rich out of war,
so our rate of profit has steadily
gone down. What our 1916 profit
will be is extremely uncertain.

What about materials?

No one seems to know how high
materials costs will go. The Gov
eminent has increased steel prices
as much as $1,000 a ton, with an
average increase for all grades OF
8.2%. Steel is the most important
material we buy, but prices on
other materials are also increasing.
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-20
What is the next step?

AS you can see, our present stu
alton is that with frozen prices
and declining profits, we are asked
to pay higher materials costs and
to make the biggest wage increase
in the history of the Company.
Can we do this?
Wages and materials consume
all but a few cents of every dollar
we take in. IF our prices continue
frozen, and cost of wages and
Laurel outlook., 1946-03-20
What about prices?

There has been no general increase
in u prices since they were frozen
by the Government in early 1912.
Since then a few small increases
have been allowed where p~articu-
lar machines were substantially
changed in design.
