David Goetz, president of the
struck Williamsport Federal Silk
Mills, interviewed by Globe-Inde-

ing in the plant on Monday, between
company and union officials, which
broke up without result, stated that
he was threatened with personal
violence by the union representa-

invited him outside"
Mr.. Goetz stated that the meeting,
held in the presence of United

rick, broke up without am progress
being made toward settling the is
sues, and then added: Il am willing

number of plants that Pangborn
were depending upon, were already
making operations here difficult, and
the unions interference during the
strike with delivery of materials for
production purposes that were then
nearing completion or enroute, has
made matters worse.
Mr.. Pangborn stated that, on top
of all this, under existing govern
ment regulations when a strike oc-
ours, manufacturers are obliged to
hold up or cancel all existing orders
for all production materials. This
he said would result in weeks, or
months in some cases, being lost
before Pangborn would be able to
get their orders back on the sched-
ules of their suppliers plants.
This all adds up, Mr.. Pangborn
said, to an uncertain and difficult
period of operations for some
months, no matter when work is
resumed. The only certainty in the
situation, he said, is, that the longer
operations are interrupted, the
longer will be required to restore
normal activities.
How regrettable and unnecessary
that situations such as this arise"
Mr.. Pangborn said, and then con-
cluded; "If only there could be
fuller sense of justice and fair deal
ing in human relations for the we'll
being and good fortune of every
one concerned, employee, employ
er and the general community would
be greatly benefited"
At time of going to press, no
definite date had been set for the
resumption of negotiations.

In an interview Monday morning
with Thomas w. Pangborn, Presi-
dent and General Manager of the
Pangborn Corporation, The Globe
Independent learned the union had
indicated by letter their desire to
meet with the company for the pur-
pose of renewing negotiations, look
ing to settlement of the labor diff
culties and that the company has
replied advising of their willingness
to meet with the union. The strike
of the Pangborn production en-
ployees is in it's fifth week.
Mr.. Pangborn stated the company
had readily consented to the re-
newal of negotiations, but made it
clear that the company could not
change its policy on fundamental
issues, and that new problems grow
ing out Of the strike must be met
before operations could get under
way in more than a gradual man
ner.
The two major problems to be
met, Mr. Pangborn stated, were the
recent commitments made by the
company for subletting orders, and
the extent to which operations here
in Hagerstown would be disorgan-
lied for some time, due to inter-
ruption in procuring raw materials
Mr.. Pangborn called attention to
the large variety of items of raw,
finished and semi-finished materials
used in the production of Pangborn
products, which are gathered from
many of the country's industrial
centers.

Four Local Boys
On Cattle Boat
Boys Will Tend Cattle Being
Shipped To Europe For Relief.

When the schoolbell rings next
month, at least four Hagerstown
High School Seniors won't be
creeping like snails, unwillingly to
school," with the rest of the gang.
Not for the first two weeks, that
is. During that time the fortunate
four, Robert Lee Stimmel, Richard
Troxell, Jr., John Wilbur Crout and
John r. Cottingham, will be junk
citing in and out of a number of fas-
cinating foreign ports via cattle
boat, delivering cattle to stricken
European countries.
The ship that they boarded in
Baltimore Port on Tuesday evening
is one of number being sent by the
Brethren Service Center, at New
Windsor, noted for its outstanding
work in foreign relief. The cattle
aboard are donated by members of
the Brethren faith and will be
turned over to UNNRA for distri-
button at various overseas ports.
The boys, who have been work
ing on this project all summer,
finally got the go-sign Monday and
set off for Baltimore in high spirits.
Duties aboard ship consist of four
hour watches to keep the cattle
from lying down-it seems that a
prone cow will die of NAL de mer in
short order - on the way over.
Coming back the trip is pure velvet.
At all foreign ports conducted
tours have been arranged, so the
boys feel that they'll make up in
history, animal husbandry, sight
seeing and geography, what they
may lose in Math and Problems of
Democracy.
The four venturers are the sons
respectively of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L.
Stimmel, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard H.
Troxell, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Crout
and Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Cottingham
