said the company's pricing p
collective bargaining.
The Ford Motor Co. president
agreed with Mr.. Reuther that
imitation is a serious problem
but Mr.. Ford said. I'VE will not
solve the problem with propa-
ganda broadsides."
Ford's refusal to go along
with Mr.. Reuther's plan was
based on similar reasons previ-
ously offered by General Motors
Corp. and Chrysler Corp.
Neither Ford nor Chrysler,
however, suggested, as GIN did,
contracts be extended two years
as a contribution to economic
stability"
Concessions Offered
Mr.. Reuther had promised to
make unspecif1ed concessions
in the unions contract de-
mands next year if the COM
panies cut prices on 1858
models this fall by an average
of at least 500.
Mr.. Ford told Mr.. Reuther
the rapid increase in wages
of automobile workers over the
last 10 years-which were ne
gotiated under the duress of
your demands - have unques-
tionably contributed to infla-
ton. Thus, having poured gas
cline on the fires of imitation.
you now stand by and tell US
how to fight the blaze. In re-
turn, you say you will consider
using less gasoline next time
or maybe only kerosene"
The unions proposal, Mr..
Ford said amounts, in effect.
to this:
IF Ford Motor Co.. this fall,
will absorb the cost increases
during 1857 and then also re-
duce the average price of its
1858 model cars 500 below the
average 1857 model price, we
at JAW in our contract nego-
tiationS with Ford next sum-
mer-nine months later-will
take this into consideration in
our demands and we may not
ask as much IN the way of in
creased wages and increased
fringe benefits as otherwise
viii be the case
Turns Proposal Around
Mr.. Ford told Mr.. Reuther
II the proposal were turned
around perhaps your reaction
to it will be the same as mine
to yours"
Mr.. Ford went on, Suppose
I were to say to you: If you
will accept an immediate re-
duction in wages to the levels
prevailing at the introduction
of our 1857 models, we will take
this into consideration in de-
termining how much we will
increase prices of our 1858
models"
Mr.. Reuther said earlier
this week the JAW would not
agree to any wage reduction to
match his suggested cut in
auto prices.
Mr.. Ford said gross daily
average hourly wage rates at
his company. including fringe
benefits. have risen from S1.S3
in 1913 to $3.1l at present,
with 8 cents per hour cost of
living increase coming in Sep
tember.
Thus" Mr.. Ford said, hour
ly wages at the Ford Motor
Co. increased 20 per cent while
the price of a typical Ford car
was rising 80 per cent"
Cites Economic Facts
In stating he shared Mr..
Reuther's concern over 'infla-
tion." Mr.. Ford told him, Il
sincerely regret that the only
concrete proposal you have ad-
vanced is an empty one and
sideStepS your primary respon-
sibility for the rising cost-price
spiral"
Mr.. Ford said Mr.. Reuther's
proposal fails to recognize the
