We have had our first case
to be paid under our new In
urance plan, so we thought you
would like to hear about it and
also an interesting sidelight.
Hilda Glase went home from
work one night, ate supper and
prepared to keep a date with
the girls bowling league, going
down the steps she slipped and
fell. Calling a doctor, she was
sent to the hospital for an x-ray
of her ankle for a possible frac-
ture, as a result of her accident
she lost two days of work. Now
is when your insurance goes to
work, upon application, Hilda
was compensated for the loss of
work and the cost of the x-ray.
Now for the sidelight of Hill
da'S case. We were i'm the per-
SODnel office and a discussion of
this case came up. Now it ap-
pears that the company repre-
sentative is afraid the people
(us employes) will get the wrong
impression if we are informed
about cases that come up under
our insurance. We don't believe
there is any doubt i'm any ones
mind as to where the money
comes from that goes into the
Insurance and Pension Fund. In
recalling the events of the past
year, we don't believe, by any
stretch of the imagination, we
would have either the insurance
or pension. If our people had not
organized and fought for them.
AS to favoring insurance and
pensions paid for by the Manu-
facturers, we wish to ask why
haven't the employees had these
benefits long time ago. After
all the company has been in busi-
ness for thirty odd years. Then
if our memory serves us right
there was an Endorsement by the
company of the organization
that fought the union in its drive
for pensions and inurance. "The
Committee to Save TOledo's Pay
rolls" If you talk cost of opera
tiOn of the pension and insurance
we can't help but wohder where
the cost of your donation to this
anti-union outfit came from.
No we don't believe the en-
p1oyes have any wrong impress
sion about who is responsible
for their having insurance and
pension. They fought too hard
for them and we firmly believe
they will fight long and hard for
all the other good things in life
that are rightfulIy theirs.

Yards. Hogs were marketed
through the pool last Thursday
were 154.
Hogs are graded on q quality
basis with the choice hogs being
the ones with the highest percent
of the carcass landing in the meat
cuts, namely the ham, loin, shoul-
der and side.
Raw lard prices have declined
from S4.40 above live hog weight
in 1920 10 $500 below live hog
weight July 1851.
The detectives of the committee
is to return to farmers the price
for the meat hogs. The amount
of lean meat and lard produced
in a hog carcass can be influenced
by type of hog produced and the
weights at which hogs are mark
eted. Hogs can be marketed at
the pools every Thursday morn

today that work is progressing
rapidly on the ten-mile stretch of

ed out that many new engineer
ing concepts have been incorpora-

in road design is the bypassing
of small villages, which reduces
accident hazards and permits cars
to travell at constant speeds.
