through the cooperation of the
Union County Dairy Service Unit,
the State and local veterinarians
and the County Commissioners.
Various veterinarians and as
sistants appointed by the Dairy
Service Unit, will test in each
township. Animals found to have
tuberculosis will be slaughtered.
The state veterinarian will ap-
praise all animals to be slaugh-
tered and the owners will be re-
imburSed for their loss, up to a
certain amount, by the State and
Federal funds. The county will
pay all veterinary fees, and for
their assistants and for all sup.
plies needed to make the tests.
If the slaughtered animal can
be used for meat, the difference
between the market price and the
state appraisal will be made up to
the farmer.
The state will pay l/3 of the
loss, not exceeding SIS, for grade
animals or $50 for registered ami
mails. The federal government
will pay the same amounts.
The Dairy Service Unit and
State Veterinarian H. G. Geyer,
met Thursday evening in the
Agricultural Extension office tn
set up the program. Eleven other
counties in Ohio have completed
such testing and slaughter pro-
gram this year
Fred Coleman, chairman of the
Dairy Service Unit, also hopes to
set up a brucellosis Bangs di-
Sease) testing program in Union
County soon.

Having got this far, you might

PAY HIKE:
New Formula

When General Motors corporation
averted a threatened strike Of 225.-
900 auto production workers by Of
fering an 11-cent raise based on a
cost-of-Iving formula it probably
set a precedent which will be fol-
lowed in settling other industrial
labor disputes.
Under the agreement. described
as an ~''entirely new approach to
the living cost problem" GIN pro-
duction workers get an Scent cost
of-lving increase and a Scent pay
boost based on annual industrial
efficiency Improvement.
Terms provide that wages be ad-
justed up or down each three
months to conform with fluctua-
lions in the consumer price index
of the bureau of labor statistics.
It appeared to be a sound plan
and one that might be followed to
good advantage by other industries.
Biggest flaw in the scheme was the
fact that General Motors might
have to pass the cost-of-living raise
on to the public. which step might
have the eventual effect Of nullify-
ing the benefits Of the raise to the
workers.
Significance Of this adjustable
cost-of-living wage formula can be
seen in a review of the rise in
prices since 1910. The cost of liv-
ing today is SO per cent higher than
in 1910. Using 1910 as a base year
which is what GIN and the United
Auto Workers did in arriving at
their agreement-living costs now
are at 169 per cent.
