Before the recess at 5:45 pm.
the company laid its new ideas
on the table. The union had
planned to bring back from the
recess some neutrality-suspicious.
Things were looking roster.
Giddings Denies Report
In the afternoon session, e.
Cleveland Giddings, company
vice president, dropped out to
give reporters prepared state
ment refuting news stories about
the proposal based on a presi-
Dental veto.
The only offer made by the
company was an increase Of 10
cents per hour in the $1.90 wage
rate, and an increase Of IS per
month in the pensions" the
statement said. "This was re-
jected by the union.
Company officials believe that
the story. attributed to union Of
ficials, was intended as a trial
balloon to set a floor on any
settlement which the union hopes
to make later with the company
or the District Commissioners.
If this is so 1t Is the first time
the union has receded from its
demand of a 81 million increase.
Origin Is Disputed
This threw into the open a
dispute over who originated the
Friday parleys that for a while
appeared to be heading some
where.
Behind the company statement
was the contention that the set
q member of the unions inter-
tlement proposal was made by
national board, James j. CORN
ley.
Federal mediators thought
they had settlement Friday
IN, with both sides agreed
to term.;. conditioned on a COM
pany qualification that Pres
ident Eisenhower veto the bill
to kill the company.
Saturday Mr.. Berwagen said
the veto condition, or any other
contingency. was unacceptable.
Company officials privately felt
local union leaders had repudi-
ated a deal made by the inter-
Officers Of the local
insisted the international board
could only recommend
such a settlement.
Disputed by Bierwagen
Yesterdays statement by Mr..
Giddings was blasted as COM
pletely untrue" by MIR. Bier
wagon.
"The offer was made through
James Gormley who was used
as a conduit" he said. "Mr.
is prepared to testify
under oath that this offer was
made"
Mr.. Bierwagen added that the
company, in making the offer
based on a. presidential veto,
said it could not put it in writ
ing because 1t would be like hold
ing a gun against the Presidents
head"

Executive Board, which is ad-
vised by the Policy Committee.

Company officials, making the
terms public in newspaper ads
said that certainly constituted
putting it in writing"
Oppose Conditions
After talking to about 40t
strikers today in the sectional
union meeting, Mr.. Bierwagen
reported the men instructed me
not to bring them anything moi
in writing"
He said they voiced disapproval
Of any settlement contingent or
anything else, such as dropping
Of the 1858 pension case in the
latest offer.
1.-THE men said it was none OF
the company's business as to the
method we use in reaching q
final decision" Mr.. Bierwagen
said, in a reference to the COM
pany request for the membership
to take a secret ballot.
They said they didn't think
the offer was worthy Of conSid-
Grafton by a special membership
meeting" Mr.. Bierwagen added.
Mr.. Bierwagen said the COM
pany proposal of a wage reopener
next February was mot worth
the paper it is written on" and
that the union would be unable
to enforce any demands by a
strike.
One union source figured the
new company offer would
amount to about 1925, 900, or
about 100000 more than the
first offer of last month which
would have given the employees
about $725,000 by union figures
and between 100000 and 81
million according to the COM
pany.

The Twentieth Century Club was
addressed by Mrs. Roderick Peat
tie of Columbus last Friday fol-
lowing a delicious luncheon at
CooVer Memorial Club House, ser
we'd at tables centered with at

and some original drawings in il
lustration of her talk on the jour-
ney she and her husband made to
West Africa in 1853 to study the
people and to learn more about the
rising nationaliSm.
In referring to their experience,
the speaker stated that the greater
part of their time was spent in
Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa is
really Africa for the Africans, she
stated, and in Liberia no land is
owned by anyone other than the
Africans themselves, though there
is a Firestone Plantation there on
leased land.
While in Africa, the Peatties
spent some time with DR.. Albert
Switzer, of Germany, famous med
ical missionary who has served
many years in Africa, is one of the
worlds most noted Organists and
holder of a Nobel prize.

Peattie stated living conditions
there are very crude; the women
do most of the work, carrying their
children on their backs all the
time. To Americans she further
stated the natives of the country
are very irritating, due, she feels
to lack of understanding between
the two.
