Question: Why did they want a lnog-term contract?
Question: What would be the general effect on the
country of a steel strike?
Answer: Over 40 percent of all the factory workers
in the country earn their living by making steel into
useful products for American life. A shut-down of
the steel industry would be a disastrous blow to
reconversion and would cause a serious loss in both
w T ages and industrial production at a time when
they were most needed.
Question: Is it true that the Steelworkers Union has
pledged itself not to strike?
Answer: Yes. Every contract which the Union has
signed this year with the various steel companies
has a clause wherein the Union agrees not to strike
during'the life of the contract.
Question: Are those contracts still in effect?
Answer: Yes. They were signed in the spring of 1945
to run until October, 1946.
Question: Who signed for the Union?
Answer: Its international officials-Philip Murray,
Van Bittner, Clintn Golden and others-and the
local Union heads at the various plants.
Question: Is there no “escape clause” by which either
side could end the agreements?
Answer: No. The Union demanded a fixed, long-term
contract and got it.
Answer: In the Union’s own words before the War
Labor Board, “The Union’s request for a termina
tion date of October, 1946, is not mdae capriciously
or pressed here for bargaining purposes. It repre
sents the considered view of the Union that only
such a term will adequately serve the needs of
stability.”
Qustion: Did the recent strike vote violate the con
tracts?
Answer: ..No. ..Only an actual strike would violate
them.
Question: Haven’t there been strikes alread during the
life of the contracts?
Answer: Yes. There were 998 strikes in steel plants
during the past year alone. They were mostly local
strikes which the Union characterizes as “wildcat,”
but they meant a big loss in production.
Question: Does the end of war'justify changing the
contracts?
Answer: No. The bond was sealed on both sides and
should be kept whether times be good or bad. The
steel companies are continuing to live up to these
agreements. If a strike is called, it will be in clear
violation of the existing contracts.

A strike in the face of existing contracts would shatter
any confidence in the validity of union agreements in
the steel industry.

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
(By Maxie M. Hardie)
Over a period of years engineer!
studying rainfall and runoff, * de-
veloped ou rterracing methods,
they take in the slope of' the land
and the length of the terrace as
well as the rainfall. In 1944 we
constructed terraces on about 43
acres of land very similar to the
best we have in this county.- The
farmer did a good job of building;
them, planted them in the sum
mer and were successful.He was so
impressed with them that he built
terraces on 100 acres in 1945 and
did equally as good job in build
ing them. When planting time
came he planted them as before.
Now lets see what happened. One
of those lightwood-knot floaters
came along and his terrace*
awoke in the ocean. In the mean
time he had done a good job in
maintaining his old terraces and
there was not a break in one of
them.
Since our terraces are construct
ed to control the highest rain
over a five-year period, one at
those greater rains had fallen and
we had lost. One of the safest
plans is to sow down our newly
constructed terraces the first year.
If all the terraces laid off since
1932 had been laid off and con
structed as well as maintained
properly with their water-way*
co-ordinating all streams would
be as clear of mud as Whitewater
creek. Now as to maintaining ter
races we have Eric Newsome,
Moody Peed and James Young
trained to help the farmers in
this county to plow their land so
as to maintain their terraces at tbei
same time. So if you will call on
either of these men or my3eif we
will be glad to assist you—in fact
we are paid for doing this work.
