Here at Harvester we are con-
cerned over the fact that a
growing number of our prod
ucts are appearing on the re-
sale market at greatly inflated
prices.
AS manufacturers, we try to
produce at the lowest possible
cost. We cannot set the prices
at which our products-trac-
tors, motor trucks, farm i'm
plements, refrigeration, and in
dustrial power equipment-are
sold. We can and do suggest
list prices which the great ma
jority of our dealers adopt as
their retail prices.
$40, 900, 900 Price Reduction
Our basic price policy was
publicly stated in March, 1947,
when we announced price re-
ductions at the rate of approx
mately $20,oOo,ooO per year
on our products. At that time,
Fowler Mccormick, Chairman
of the Board, said: "ANY PRICE
IS TOO HIGH IF 1T CAN BE RE-
DUcED."
Practically all of our dealers
cooperated with this policy and
passed on the savings to their
customers.
The objective of the price
reductions was to make it pos
sible for customers to buy our
products, which they need SO
badly, at lower prices. Natu-
rally, this purpose is defeated
when our products are sold by
anybody at inflated prices.

the difference between supply
and demand. To increase sup
ply, we now have the greatest
number Of employees in history
on our payrolls-almost 10000
in the United States, as against
about $4,000 prewar. Large
newplants are getting intopro-
duction in louisville, Evans
Vile, and Melrose Park. A
fourth will soon be in opera
ton in Memphis. The men and
women now employed are
turning out the greatest guam
titles of III products of all
kinds that we have ever made.
These are also the finest prod
ucts we have ever made, and
recognition of that fact is an
important contributing factor
to the demand for them.
Distribution TO Dealers
But even record-b breaking pro-
duction is not sufficient to give
your dealer-and other III
dealers-enough products, to
meet today's demand. We have
tried to make the fairest posi-
BILE geographical ALLEGATION Of
our products so that every
dealer would get a fair share,
and we know that dealers, in
most cases, have tried earnestly
to make the fairest possible
distribution to their customers.
But we also know that many
of our products-far too many
are being resold at inflated
prices. The public criticism and
resentment of these resales are
of real concern to us, as we
know they must be to our deal
ers, because such reactions en-

danger the good viii Of both
the dealer and the Company in
any community.
Distribution to Customers
Experience shows that many
III new products are being re-
sold by users who decide they
can continue to make out with
their old equipment after they
have had an inflated offer for
their new equipment. To elimi-
nate this, many dealers are
taking measures to be sure that
equipment purchased is for
their customers own use and
is not to be resold.
Nearly all III dealers, we be-
heve, are now using the basis
of PRESENT NEED as their pri-
mary guide for the sale of
scarce products. The customer
whose need is real and urgent
is not likely to resell.
What Price Should
You Pay?
While it may take a little more
time to get delivery, we urge
our customers to consider all
of the factors mentioned here,
before paying more than the
, list price for any III product.
Amy III dealer or branch can
furnish the suggested list price
for any III product.
We know that the over
whelminG majority of III deal
ers are as much opposed to in
fiated prices as we are. In the
public interest, we have al
ready asked their cooperation
and are now asking the CO.
operation of customers-in
correcting this situation.

Seamen Win
 Increase Of 5%;;
 New Conditions

New York = (FP) = A 59o in crease for 10000 Atlantic and Gulf coast seamen was included in an agree ment reached here last week between the Seafarers Intl. Union (AFL) and nine shipping companies.
 Negotiations, which had been under way for some weeks, were finally re- solved when the union withdrew a de- mand for extra holiday pay. Acting for the employers was the Atlantic & Gulf Coast Ship Operators Assn.
 SIU Sec.-Treas. J. P. Shuler said the contracts expiration date had been changed from Sept. 30 to June IS, the date when CIO maritime contracts run out. In addition to the 5%o increase, also won by CIO seamen, the agree ment provides nine paid holidays at sea, 7-day vacation after year of continuous service and IA days for two or more years.
 Although the agreement directly af- fleets 10000 seamen, Shuler said its benefits would undoubtedly be ex- tended to 50,000 other AFL seamen on all coasts.

Guide To T-H Law Issued By
 Auto Workers

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Whati is undoubtedly the most simple and skill ful of all the guides to the Taft-Hart- ley law has been issued by the United Textile Workers (AFL) in three color pamphlet of l6 pages.
 UTW Research Director Benja- min Haskell produced the illus trated booklet which explains that the law was passed because of s'the pernicious antilabOr propaganda of the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers, ' because the 8Oth Congress ''listen- ed to its masters voice." and be- cause the union worker "was not alert in the l946 congressional election"
 The UTW guide lists the unfair practices that may be charged against unions and their effects, restrictions on contract termination and termina- tion of strikes and new NLRB proce- dures.
 Haskell advises that unions time their requests for recognition careful ly so as to prevent employers from getting an election from the NLRB before the union has obtained ma jority.
 Although UTW will work through the new NLRB, it advises unions to consider Every seriously whether we should agree to includ- ing mo strike clauses in our con- tracts. Wherever possible they should be eliminated" the guide advises.
 As an addition precaution, UTW asks its locals to obtain authorization from the international president be- fore calling any strike. This is also a constitutional provision in UTW.

Robert s. Van Alta, C.S. of Rochester, New York, a member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, delivered lecture, entitled Christian: The Science of Life and Healing, Sunday afternoon, in Milford Town Hall.
 The lecture was given under the auspices of First Church of Christ Scientist, New Haven, in cooperation with Christian Science Society, Mil ford
 The lecturer said in part:
 'The general misunderstanding oi the teaching and method of Jesus has been a great tragedy to mankind.
 Through the Godlike character oi his human life he bridged the gulf be- tween God and men; he brought heaven down to earth. He demonstrat- ed the coincidence between the human and the divine.
 "The Bible gives no description ol the Masters face or form, but it does give us accurate and beautiful ac- counts of his spiritual nature anc work. Jesus taught morality and spir. duality; he taught nothing material He taught men how to be good anc how to be free by teaching them how to think correctly.
 "The communication of true thoughts from God to man is due tc the relationship which exists between God and man."

AFL Beats CIO In NorWalk

An AFL union, victor over a CIO rival in an employees election, was de- signated by the NLRB as collective bargaining agent for workers in the plant of Casper Lowenstein, Inc, Norwalk, manufacturer of metal prod ucts.

HoU We Miss Him NoU
 This Was FDR's Creed

Our progress continue to be steady and deliberate one-we cannot stand still, cannot slip back. We must look forward to certain definite things in the future For example the benefits of social security should be broadened and extended unemployment insurance should larger number of workers Our old age pension system must be improved and extended the of the pension should be increased and above a these pensions be given manner which will respect the dignity of the life of ice and labor which aged citizens have given the nation
 It my hope that the United States will have national system under which needy within our borders will lack minimum old age pension which will provide adequate food clothing and lodging to the end of the road-withou having go the poorhouse to get it.
 And look forward to a system which, in addition to this bare inum will enable those who have faithfully toiled in any occupation build up additional security for their old age which will allow them to live in comfort and happiness

More Progress On Jim Crow Front

New York (LPA)-The united front of play producers opposing Ac- tors Equity in its fight to ban race discrimination in Washington, D. C.'s only legitimate theater broke last week, after the union filed strike notices with state and federal agen- cies.
 Thirty-seven producers wired to the AFL union, supporting their stand and claiming that the League of N. Y. Theaters, which represents them in collective bargaining with the theater unions, had never boiled its 125 mem- bers on the issue.
 The union has modified its demands but still insists that it wants a clause in its new contract-the present one expires Aug. 1-providing that no ac- tor shall be required to play in any theater in Washington which does not admit Negroes. The provision would be effective June 1, 194.
