"Under such a government

are content to take it easy, know
ing the government will take care

added.
Claiming that the labor-social-
list government of Great Britain
has already failed, Taft remarked
that our system which has work
ed for 160 years may be destroy
ed in the near future unless the
voters choose wisely.
"Our governmental system isn't
perfect, but it is the best in the

statesman said plaintively.
Objectively speaking. Senator
Taft told his listeners that he will
support reasonable" price con-
troll program and that he did sup
port the minimum wage law as a
means to help prevent a possible
economic depression.
Naturally we must have some
governmental controls, but at the
same time, we must try to retain
our individual liberties" Taft re-
peated.
Stating that illiteracy in many
states is due to poverty, the tour
ing senator reported that he fav-
ors more equalized educational

During a question period, Mr..
Taft admitted that the f. C. A.

communism in Europe; that he
was not optimistic about the
Hoover Commission because thus
far it hadn't proved too workable
In saving money, and that he
doesn't know much about condi-

tice from the international Union
dated June %. But up to now
the details of this demand have
not been disclosed in the negoti-
ations.
Company Proposes Changes
"Your company proposed num-
Der of changes to our present
Master Agreement to permit
broadening the st. Clair and the
Port Clinton local agreements.
The main difficulty, as your Com
pany views it, is that your Inter-
Plant Council representatives have
insisted upon provisions in the
Master Agreement to suit the
fluctuating operating conditions
in the St. Clair Division due to
the seasonal nature of it's bust
ness.
These same provisions would
then apply to the Port Clinton
Division, where our operating con-
ditions and past practices have
been entirely different, and we
do not see why the employees of
the Port Clinton Division should
be affected by them. The abnor-
NAL conditions of the st. Clair
Division are brought about by the
highly competitive market for
plastic products-in which indus
try our ST. Clair Division labor
rates are among the highest.
"Your Company is constantly
striving to improve it's human re-
lations program. To do so, your
Company must be competitive and
still make a profit in order to
provide you with the necessary
tools and good working conditions,
which in turn mean steady en-
ployment.
"We recognize the fact that
we do have temporary lay-offs,
brought about by conditions be-
yond our control, such as abrupt
changes in customer requirements,
strikes, and competitors under
bidding us on products we supply.
at is important for you to
realize that there may be cut
backs due to the existing steel
strike about which we recently put
a notice on the bulletin board. But
we want to assure you that we
will do everything in our power to
keep our employees working as
long as we possibly can"
Gain Shown in Year
l.. S. Larson, Port Clinton di-
vision manager, this week stated
that 102 more employees are now
working at the local plant than
when the present contract was
signed last year. This increase in
the number of jobs available to
local workers reflects the success
of a stepped-up sales program
which the company has pushed.
Barring possible setbacks result
ing from the steel strike, the COM
pany is aspiring to expand the
Port Clinton operation to a mil
lion dollars a month.
Labor relations in Port Clinton
have been outstanding during the
past years, and the company's
present management and Local
497 officials have cooperated in
settling minor difficulties.
In it's program for better HUI
man relations, the company keeps
the employees informed through
bulletins, meetings, personal con-
facts and annual reports to en-
ployees.
