WASHINGTON, D. c., June a.
An Army spokesman has branded
as false a claim by New York Rep.
Adams Clayton Powell that racial
Segregation is returning to the
armed forces and that military
leaders are guilty of treason.
Powell made his charge in a
speech before a civil rights rally
in New York. He declared:
1.-THE leaders of our armed forces
are guilty of treason. Completely
disregarding their powerless COM
mander-in-chief, ignoring the Sec
retaries of the three branches, they
actually restored segregation to
the armed forces"

us much information on this except
that they are combining interests.
But we have been able to gather
little information mere and there

The Shelter Manufacturing Cor

Their seven plants are located in

Another lay-off of workers was
made here at Standard Products
last Friday When fifteen men and
nine women workers were affected
This brings the latest seniority
dates to: For the women, 5/29/43
and for the men, 9/16/52.
A Bowling Green University pro-
feSsor was recently quoted as say
ing that "a happy worker isn't
necessarily satisfied worker :.
A worker who complains about the
way management is doing things
may be one of the best producers
because he is thoroughly concern
ed about his company.
We believe that our company
and almost any company could
make great progress if its manage
ment would act more as guide
Z. not DOSS.
Too often the worker is thought
of as a "hand" or as part of the
machinery and men of manage
ment enjoy being boss. This atti-
tude is destructive and wasteful for
seldom if ever Is woker's sugges-
tion heard or needed.
The best ideas on more eff
cient operation and safety on the
job can come from the workers.
The fact that someone in the plant
knows more on a subject or about
their particular job than does the
boss is true and could be very help
full to him. If he is wise, he will
use it in his job of management.
If he is of small caliber, he will
spurn it. Many men of management
find this is true and give bonus to
workers for their good ideas that
pay off. But too often our workers
get nothing more than dirty look
for their suggestions.
Many suggestions will appear
first in the form of a complaint If
the trouble is taken to get to the
bottom of the complaint the worker
usually has a good idea low to cor
rect the thing that bothers him.
And if management acts as more
of a guide instead of a boss, he will
seek out the reason for complaints
and consider the suggestions the
workers offer and we would all
benefit.
Yes, a company can spend
great deal of money in hiring ex-
perts. Expert after expert can
study and run tests for increasing
efficiency. But our best experts are
the people out in the plant who
work at the same job day after day
and know their particular opera
tions better than anyone.
Management should be leader,
a guide - never a boss. Good man.
agement is strong and humble be-
cause it is smart enough to see its
relative position in the scheme of
things. There never was and never
will be a successful industrial man
ager who is conceited. To succeed,
he has to be smart enough to
know how little he knows. He will
be smart enough to treat workers
as people and to respect their ideas
which can be used for the good
of all.

We have good union to keep

We have a good contract that is
right in line with the best in the
country. This fact has been proven
to me repeatedly at meetings and
conventions when / have had a
chance to compare our with other

our officers with the help of the

to see that our contract is being
interpreted correctly and justly as
it was intended. We must keep t1is
contract and improve upon it.
There are many fine activities
