"The good jobs in the future will
go to those workers who are highly
skilled and we'll trained" stated a
report on a government study.
The report is in the form of 10
studies made by the Department of
Labor and the Veterans Admins
tration and shows that "America's
phenomenal advancement in sci
ence, research, technology, and
automation have placed an ever
increasing premium on a workers
versatility and ability"
Speaking of ability, now the
president of management engi-
neering firm says That union
stewards are brighter than fore
men.
His firm tested over 200 foremen
and stewards in 35 firms and the
results showed that stewards are
better equipped than foremen to
handle their jobs. In practical
judgment, for instance, stewards
scored 70 to the foremen's 40; in
mathematics it was 60 for the
stewards and So for foremen and
for vocabulary the stewards scored
70 and the foremen, 40.
He also pointed out that the
average employee believes the
steward and not the forman has
his bst interests at heart! This man
of management insists that in order
to boost productivity, management
must improve its supervisory force
The figures given here might
also prove that the workers in the
plant do a good job in choosing
their union stewards by the demo
cratic processes.
Advancement and automation
make great changes in industry
that affect everyone. This was
brought out very clearly by Arch
bishop Montini of Milan recently
as he spoke to thousands of cheer
ing Italian workers.
"bntil yesterday" he said "the
relationship between employer and
worker was an almost unilateral
one, with the employer giving the
orders and the worker carrying
them out
"Now this relationship is becom-
ing bilateral, with the workers
themselves being called upon to
participate, in the full dignity of
mutual respect, for the general
good of the business.
"At present there is much talk
about the general direction of
politics and economics. Well, then,
you can adopt as your own the
proposition that no man must lack
bread, a roof over his head, cloth
ing and work. All those who are in
position to guide politics and

The progressive swim plan will

Now, someone has come up with
the idea that we will benefit in the
long run by being able to drive on
improved highways. What's your
opinion?
II was back on April 30, 1856
that UAW President Walter P.
Reuther pointed out that the new
and increased Federal Sales Taxes
in the Federal Highway Bill would
cost low income families S3.1 mil
lion more than they would have to
pay if the cost were met out of
general revenue raised through our
Federal income taxes which are
basd on tn ability to pay.
In his memorandum to the House
of Representatives, Reuther said,
"It is unfair, unWise and unneceS-
sary to propose an increase of Fed
eral sales taxes and, at the same
time, to reduce income tax rates,
thus shifting a substantial part of
the total tax burden from upper
income families to families with
low incomes"
The big drive is on against the
income tax and in favor of ma
tlonal sales tax to replace it. Re
Sponsible voices of men from all
walks of life have called to the
danger in replacing our income tax
with sales tax.
This higher Federal Sales Tax
that goes into effect on July 1st
and raises the cost of driving of
the average man is just one small
example of how the tax burden is
shifted under heavier sales taxes.

1t was good news when the

The National Council of the

"right-to-work" laws.
Here is the summary of the
statement:
''In the light of the considera-

LOCAL 4o7, JAW

The unemployment situation ir
the automobile industry has beer
discussed by almost every magazine
and newspaper and usually with q
wait-and-see attitude.
However, that meeting sponsored
by the UAW did set some plans foI
action. The Mayors of 43 cities in
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wis
consin which have been hardest hit
by lay-offs accepted Reuthers invi-
tation and attended the meeting in
Detroit. These mayors along with
Michigan Governor G. Mennen Will
liams and UAW officials set up a
committee to plan an action pro
gram for presentation to Eisen-
hover and Congressional leaders.
The workers of Standard Prod
ucts Company here are now on a
two-week lay-off status, except for
those people working on the tank
track line which remains in opera
ton.
There is one optimistic view for
workers here. And the workers
have had an important part in
bringing about the good news.
AS result of good labor relations
and peaceful contract negotiations
customers have placed new jobs
with the company for this Port
Clinton Division to produce.
1t is only matter of time until
these jobs should be put into op-
Grafton and bring our laid-off work
ers back to work.
Now if heavier lay-offs can be
avoided in the auto plants using
our products; then our immediate
future can be bright.
Auto dividends paid to stockhola-
ers were up 50s during the first
five months of this year as compar-
ed to the same 1855 period, despite
the ever increasing lay-offs in the
industry.
Here are the results of the Local
497 Run-off Election held last
Thursday, June IA:
Guide: Frank Zbrizeny - Sgt. At
Arms: George O'Brien.
The newly elected officers will
be installed at our next member

vited the newly elected officers to
join with them in the regular
monthly committee meeting last
Friday afternoon.
Most rumors we hear around the
plant we don't bother TO listen to,
but one that got started the other
day brought a chuckle. Someone
seems to think that the best and
surest way to get good vote is to
buy a new mercury. 1t was all in
fun, of course.

Chicago turned out strong to

His day also included a lunch

Chicago was the motor parade
through the Loop, shortly after
noon. The crowd was four or

both sides of State street as the
Vice President. with Mrs. Nixon
at his side, stood up in an open

that registrars there have been

The department noted that

where Mr. Olney said earlier
this week he was investigating
an apparent systematic" re-
moval of Negro voters from reg

November 6 general elections.
In these cases. the Assistant
Attorney General said he pro-
poses criminal prosecution in
every instance where it can be
shown that the registrant was

cause of color.
The department said the COM

City officials met Wednesday morning in the office of Mayor Charles ". Wilson to discuss street paving with representa- tives of the Bureau of Public Roads who were visiting in the Palmer area.
 The BPR officials reported they are ready to go ahead in the spring with paving Of the highway from the Glenn high way to Wasilla road, and in addi- ton possibly extend that paving down Central street as far as Bert's Drug store or Tost's Ser vice. They stated they will be ready to begin the project as soon as the streets thaw in the spring. Money for the project has been allocated and if not used on this project this time the pro- ject will be postponed indefin- itely and might be lost.
 City officials were hoping to have their plans firmed up at the time the BPR calls for paw ing bids so that the City may take advantage of the presence of the contractor in the city to do simultaneous paving.
 The Buerau of Public RoH1s asked how the City would handle the paving project. Mayor Wilson suggested that the City would like to have the BPR act as en- gineers in the inspection work and the City would then pay an appropriate share for additional paving and the full costs of curbs and gutters.
 Of course this whole thing hinges on whether or not the bond issue is passed, he pointed out. The Bureau is going ahead with their part of the paving, the Mayor said. This is our chance to get paving at a cheaper price ii done at the same time, he ad- ded.
 While in Juneau recently May or Wilson spoke with BPR off, clals in regards to the paving.
