Louisville citizens whose names

I'VE go into a plant. ask for
contributions to the Community
Chest or Louisville Fund and
what we get is an Indifferent
nod. The managers aren't part
Of Louisville. They feel they're
camping out and they don't
care about the city's future. :"
Some executives who seem
to be big shots can't spend SIS

their own initiative. They duck
out by saying, We have to

us. It's controlled elsewhere.
It's infuriating to ask about a

But these. I repeat, are Just
some of the obvious diSadvan-
tages Of absentee ownership of
a city. Much more vital is what
this is doing to the Louisville
economy itself. This tale I'll re-

Trees should blend har-

need.
Tall trees planted close to

have q tendancy to make 1t
look squatty. To avoid this
appearance, choose trees
which viii not grow much
taller than the house. Some
excellent ones are: Towering
Dogwood. Amur Maple, Jap
anese Maple. Redbud, Haw-
thorne. Golden-Rain Tree.
Saucer. and Star Magnolia.
Crabapple. and Japanese

trees are most effective. Small

cast interesting shadows on

Since the heights Of trees
so placed cannot be compared
with that Of your house by

does not suffer the same ef-
fects 1t would If the same
trees were planted close to 1t.
There is no formula for To-

houses vary too. But gen.
orally speaking, q property

enhanced If large trees are
used near large houses and
small ones near small houses.
This does not exclude the
use Of small trees near large
houses, for these are desir-
able. but they should be in
conjunction with large trees.
Note that small and large
houses are made more attrac-
tive by large trees planted
near the front sidewalk.

pressed for the industry earlier
to the same interviewer by Rog-
er Blough, chairman of the
United States Steel Corp.
Talks with the two men,
equally firm in their stands in
the titanic labor management
clash that has shut down most
Of the Nations vast steel in
dustry, pinpointed the issues.
The industry is dead set
against any new net labor cost
increase. The union says the
workers deserve-and are going
to get-higher pay and COM
panion benefits.
Mr.. Mcdonald said the in
dustry is trying to cut its work
force. whereas steel employ
ment should be increasing to
meet the expanding metal needs
of America and countries
abroad.
1--WE are being pictured by
the industry as opposing prog
resS and efficiency" Mr.. Nc
Donald said. II repeat what
I've said: The claim is as phony
as a 7-dollar bill. The indus
try's whole position is based
on misrepresentation and dis
tortion of the facts"
Doesn't Oppose Progress
The union, said this dapper,
well-tailored. prematurely gray
union boss, looking for all the
world like a top industry ex-
ecutive, has never opposed au-
donation or technical progress.
"AS further evidence of the
phonyneSS of industry's argu-
ments, thousands of adjust
ments in working conditions
are made each year by joint
agreement in local collective
bargaining" Mr.. Mcdonald
said.
what the industry desires,
however, is to eliminate free
collective bargaining in max
ing these adjustments and to
substitute unilateral manage
ment imposition of its will"
Mr.. Mcdonald stressed that
the steel industry's total labor
bill is less now-with consid-
erably more steel production
than it was in years past-some
8 per cent less. per ton Of an
ished steel, than a decade ago.
And there are thousands
upon thousands fewer steel
workers in the mills today pro-
ducing more steel and better
steel than ever before" he said
Does that look like feather
bedding?"
Work Hard, He Declares
Aren't the cost cuts due to
more efficient machines and
production methods rather
than to increased worker ef-
fort?
"It's the result of BOTH" the
union chief insisted. That's
why we only say we deserve our
fair share Of these hugely in
creased profits.
"As physical effort decreases,
mental effort increases. This is
not to say there doesn't still
exist a great deal of physical
effort-sweat and hard work.
"Innumerable improvements
have been initiated by the
workers." Mr.. Mcdonald said.
I'VE are not loafers. We work
hard. AS partners in the enter
prise, we have something COM
ing. We intend to get it,"
What would be a "fair
share?"
Mr.. Mcdonald said that is a |
matter for bargaining. But he
noted the union has offered to |
settle on the same annual in
crease terms that were the
basis for the 1856 three-year
agreement with steel firms.
I'm not seeking more than
that" he said, I'VE have made
a concession and a contribution
to curbing economic imitation. |
We have not tried to hamstring
the industry in any fashion"

AMPS 10th Birthday
The meeting was presided over
by Ernest Goodman. In presenting
the journalism awards, D. G.
Thompson pointed out that Mr..
Barnett deserved much credit for
having the initiative and foresight
to organize a news service soon
after World War I, so that Negro
newspapers in one section of the
country could get information on
what was happening in another
section of the nation and finally
of the world.
The founder of AMP realized
the need for such a service while
travelling about the country in
1919 as a member of the Chicago
Defender staff. This service has
continued operation for 40 years
and now extends to more than
100 publications. 1t is highly re-
spected for it's wide coverage of
Negro activities in the United
States, Europe, Africa, and the
Caribbean areas.
