Porcelain Enamel Agrees
To Area Pension Contract
Strike Settled
IF Unit Okoys

Porcelain Enamel joined the
Area Pension Plan group
Tuesday when the company
agreed to a contract which also
includes 10 cents wage increase
and a health and welfare pro-
gram paid for by the company.
A special ratification meeting
will be held Saturday at 10 am.
in Local II headquarters to act
on the new agreement.
Employees of the Company
were scheduled to begin return
ing to work Wednesday as the
plant prepared resumption of
operations after strike lasting
nearly two months.
Settlement seemed abrupt,
considering the adamant posi-
ton the company took at the
beginning of the talks. No hint
had leaked that the unions
program was at last receiving
favorable consideration.
But Charles H. Ballard, re-
gional director, and Harold
Dean, international representa-
tive, went back into session
with the company this week,
and the settlement was worked
out.
A major obstacle cleared by
the negotiators for the unit was
retroactivity which was finally
set as of September 18 for the
new wage increase. That out of
the. way, and the area pension
agreement hurdled, the rest was
comparatively smooth sailing.
The settlement at Porcelain
Enamel, if approved by the
membership will bring the area
pool up to a point where it is
one of the largest groups COW
cred by UAW-CIO old age pro-
lection since Vice President
Richard 7. Gosser first demand
ed pensions for Toledo area
workers.

And since the Auto-Lite ma
tional agreement provides that
any new plants certified to
UAW-CIO will automatically
receive the UAW-CIO benefits,
including pensions, the COM
pany had to make sure a 65-
year-old like Frank was off the
payrolls before the union was
established.
This crisp and efficient philo-
sophy not only knocked Frank
.Mecklinberg out of a job, it cut
off his wife's job, too. For
Emma Mecklinberg can't get to
work unless Frank is working.
So they're both home now, un-
employed.
A letter from Frank and En-
ma Mecklinberg from Genoa
City. Wisconsin, tells the story
very simply - story of a COM
pany policy (where no union
exists to oppose IT'D that resem-
bles euthanasia, the practice of
killing off the aged and infirm.
The only difference is that
this way is legal. You don't kill
the old people, off, you just turn
them loose and forget them.
Eating. from there on, is their
problem, not the company's.
This practice, which was gen
eral before unions became
established, has disappeared
from the Toledo scene in recent
years.
But those who yawn with
boredom when the Toledo I'm
ion Journal reminds them OF
the savage drive to turn the To-
Iedo workers back to the "be-
nevolent" embrace of the en-
ployers might think well on this
basic fact:
In Toledo, Auto-Lite is, in
deed, benevolent. It's got a un-
ion.
In Woodstock, the same Auto
Lite company unloaded its re-
sponSibility to Frank Mecklin-

Report by Brannan
Stresses Need 10
Revise Farm Policy
By Malcolm lomborne. Jr

by Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan served fresh notice today that
the Nations agricultural price
policy is in urgent need of i'm
provement.
In his annual report to the
President. the Secretary said he
would continue to urge congress
sional authorization for sup
porting perishable commodities
through production payments.
This is the key to the contro-
versial Brannan farm plan. While
the Secretary did not mention
the plan by that name, his re-
port made it clear that that was
what he had in mind.
Spur Overproduction.
Currently our purchase price
support programs encourage over
production on the one hand and
under-consumption on the other" !"
Mr.. Brannan declared.
Once we acquire these COM
modities. the Government must
either convert the excess produc-
ton into storable form; where
possible. move the commodities
into export outlets at reduced
prices. divert them into non-food
use or destroy the commodities
If no outlets of disposition are
available"
The Secretary went on to say
that it is usually impossible to
find new uses for surpluses or to
divert them into non-commercial
channels at anything comparable
to the support price.
1.-The question that confronts us
Is not whether or not there should
be price support program. The
American people already have de-
clded that farmers should have
adequate incomes" the Secretary
stated.
Double Protection Needed.
"Our problem today is to de-
velop methods of price support
which will give farmers this in
come protection and at the same
time efficiently serve the farmer
and his family" he said. Other
objectives listed were that the
program would not discriminate
against any group in the economy
and would operate efficiently
with costs commensurate with
benefits to the Nation"
ACCORDINGLY. I have urged and
I continue to urge congressional
authorization of support through
production payments for perish
able agricultural products" Mr..
Brannan declared.
Other points in the 136-page
report included:
Food surpluses have developed
IN some parts of the world, with
indications that soon the sur
plus problem might vex all agri-
cultural exporting countries"
When United States foreign aid
programs end and foreign agri-
culture and industry recover fully,
American agriculture may be in
for reducing pains"
To help correct the zone
sidedness" of American foreign
trade. steps should be taken to
lower tariffs and to provide long
range foreign lending with boz
rowing nations repaying eventu-
ally in goods and services.
