cluded:
"A Few Fire Facts
Approximately S22l2 million
were burned up in Ohio last year.
In 1947 there was more than
S75O-million fire damage in the
United States and the loss will
be even greater for 1948.
There were 100000 fires re-
ported last year. 25 million acres
of forests were burned and 300,-
900 homes destroyed by fire. In
Ohio alone, the pulpwood burned
would have furnished enough
neWsprint to run every paper in
the u, S. for a year.

A&P Under Fire
For Monopoly Rule
Of Produce Prices
Also Under Heavy
Attack For Under
Cover Dealings

NEW YORK GPA) - The
Arp grocery chain, which earli-
er this year was fined S175, 1000
for monopolistic pr cite es is
back in the courts to face an
other suit initiated by the JUS
tice Dept under the antitrust
laws.
This time, the giant food COM
bine is charged with "abuse of
its mass buying and mass selling
power" and imposition of "un-
reasonable restraints of trade on
competitors of all levels of the
food industry from form to
table"
Is Open To Attack
The multi-million dollar Arp
is especially open to attack un-
der the anti-monopoly laws be-
cause of its practice of insisting
on special price scales from
farmers and professors, on the
threat that, if the professors
don't give special concessions.
APP will 60 into the field and
compete with them.
Chief APP subsidiary which
does this is the Atlantic Com
Acco, which does purchasing for
Arp, and also sells its goods to
other retailing outlets.
One Acco practice, widely at
tackled by other chains and small
store owners, is that of getting
control of the supply of a par
ticular food, channeling the best
produce into APP stores, and
forcing APPS competitors to
take the inferior goods or just
not sell the particular produce.
Acco has also been under
heavy attack from undercover
deals with growers coop asso-
Citations to control what the
Justice Dept calls substantial
portions of the annual fresh
fruit and vegetable crop of the
U.s." and obtaining thereby COM
plete control over its prices and
distribution.
The court is being asked to
break up Acco entirely, and to
divide the Arp empire into
seven independant regional or
CARNATIONS.

is shown in the drive in as much
that victory for the indepen-
dant union would mean lower
wages thus making it probable
that the corporation will move
many of its operations to the
Lockland plant to be manufact-
ured at low wage level. The
aim of the Intra Auto Lite Coun-
Gil is for uniform contract and
wages and working conditions.

Following is a full text of the
letter sent to Ford Motor Com
pany officials by International
UAW-CIO President Walter P.
Reuther:
Mr.. John S. Bugas,
Vice President,
Industrial Relations
Ford Motor Company,
Dearborn, Michigan
Dear Mr.. Bugas;
More than 100 days have
elapsed since we entered nego-
tiations with the Ford Motor
Company in an effort to arrive
at an agreement concerning con-
tract matters and economic de-
mands submitted by the Ford
workers. At no time during the
history of collective bargaining
in the auto industry have con-
tract negotiations been extended
over this long a period, The
Union, in an effort to exhaust
every possibility of resolving the
issues in dispute through peace
full collective bargaining, h s
demonstrated extreme patience
and has extended the contract
on a day-to-day basis for more
than so days beyond the normal
contract expiration date.
During these protracted nego-
tiations, the Company has failed
to meet the needs of the Ford
workers on basic economic mat
ters as well as vital contract
provisions such as:
1. Production standards.
@. Temporary l a y off provi-
sions.
3. Farming out of work to
outside contractors.
4. Promotion clause.
5. Loans and transfers If
workers from one department.
to another.
6. Committeeman str u cture
and representation.
BY any reasonable standards,
100 days of bargaining is more
than adequate time to arrive at
a fair settlement of any contract.
On September 1st
we advised the Company that
the Ford workers had voted
overwhelmingly in support of
heir demands in both the vote
within the union and
he vote conducted by the State
government and that while Ford
workers were desirous of re-
these issues through |
peaceful collective bargaining,
hey would not continue indefi-
1itely to permit the Company to
leny them the things to which
hey are rig h fully entitled
the device of indefinitely
prolonged negotiations.
In our letter of September 1st,
We stated:
THE Company cannot indefi- +
1itely rely on the patience of
he Ford workers as substitute
or meeting its responsibility to
he Ford work ers and their
