join in their effort to toss aside
the super seniority contract, the
union officials then tried to figure
out a system which would restore
the older men to their pre-strike
jobs, and at the same time, pay
the younger men their present rate
of pay. In short, the company was
asked to pay premium wages with-
knit getting anything for its money.
rThis, of course, was ridiculous.
Now the union leaders are try-
to get the super seniority men
rto sign some sort of a petition
which would be used to it luence
the company into doing a - ay with
super seniority and in violating a
solemn agreement that we and the
union made. As much as we would
Bike for this troublesome problem
to be solved to the mutual satis-
faction of everyone concerned, the
Company will not be a party to
^•breaking of a contract it made,
nor will the company have any-
thing to do with pressuring our
Employees into signing a petition
Rimed at depriving anyone of his
seniority. In fact, such a peti-
tion will have no influence what-
soever upon the company's attitude
pimply because we know that in
rnost cases, signatures are obtain-
V'1 through pressure.
[) There are some who say that
[ ' - - - - -_ -
Informing the general publie about the
MTho Way I See It*’ will be a weekly fee
they so choose. Not a single waiv-
er has been signed. Yet, the union
leaders keep busy trying to get
these men to sign a petition say-
ing they are willing to give up the
benefits I have listed of their own
free will and accord. I can’t be-
lieve they really want to do it. and
as far as I’m concerned, no amount
of pressure from the union will
force the company into repudiat-
ing a contract that must be main-
tained if contracts are to be worth
anything. If the union leaders
recommend scrapping this perfect-
ly legal contract and thus penal-
izing the men who have gained
under it, then how can anyone ex-
pect the union leaders to keep any
contract they might make in the
future? When Lone Star signs a
contract, we do so in good faith,
and the same kind of faith makes
us fight to save that contract.
* We want our employees to know
that when we sign a contract we
are going to live up to that con-
tract. The union officers might
try practicing a little of the same
if they want to regain some of the
strength they have all but totally
lost at Lone Star.
And by way of closing this piece.
I might suggest that the union
leaders concern themselves more
with making a new contract in-
stead of breaking an old one.
That’s the way I see it.
Thl. space purchaaed by Lone Star Steel Company for t«e purpo.. of regularly

super seniority doesn't amount to
much, and that the company
shouldn't be so hard-headed about
saving it for the men who earned
it. For those, I would like to sub-
mit some figures to prove that
aside from the fairness involved,
a considerable sum of money is at
stake.
In a study of 728 employees
who enjoy super seniority, it was
found that this group averages two
job classes better than it would
without super seniority. In money,
based on straight time only, a job
class is worth $144 per year. So
the average super seniority man
makes $288 per year more than
he would without it.
The study reveals that the aver-
age age of the super senior men
is 4 3 1/2 years. This leaves him
with 211/2 years remaining be-
fore retirement. During this pe-
riod, then, he will earn $6,192
more than he would if he did not
have super seniority.
The study revealed certain in-
direct benefits. The super senior-
ity man will be less subject to lay-
offs, but when he is laid off, his
SUB benefits will be higher. He
will receive higher pension bene-
fits. and possibly higher life in-
surance benefits. He will be sub-
ject to higher promotions on the
job. and ultimately, should be in
position to command a supervisory
job with the many additional bene-
fits that go with it.
So. we are not talking about
peanuts when we talk about the
money involved in the super sen-
iority situation. These men have
steadfastly refused to waive their
j rights as they are entitled to do if
If the United Steelworkers’
union officials have lost strength
at Lone Star Steel they have only
themselves to blame for it. Take
for example the repeated efforts
of union officers to disregard a
written contract between the com-
pany and the union which estab-
lishes “super seniority” for some
of our employees who refused to
participate in the illegal strike of
‘1957.
The union tried to establish the
fact that this ‘‘super seniority”
contract expired with the old la-
bor contract. This failed because
this separate contract was never
meant to run only for the period
of the regular contract. Nowhere
in the document signed by me for
Lone Star and by David J. McDon-
ald for the Steelworkers is there
any reference to a date or a time
Caen the men who earned super
seniority would automatically lose
it, or could be forcibly deprived of
it either by the company or the
union.
I am well aware of the fact that
this super seniority condition is
galling to some of the older men
who now are working lower rated
jobs than younger men. But let’s
face it: the older men made a de-
Icision back in 1957. They refused
to cross an illegal picket line es-
tablished at the insistence of union
officials who broke their contract
•j ith the company. The men with
[super seniority are those who
crossed that illegal picket line,
who lived up to their contract,
and who. incidentally, did not
know at the time that they would
at a later date, be rewarded for
honoring and keeping their “no
strike” agreement with the com-
pany.

June is Dairy Month—And in
tribute to one of the nation's great-
est industries, let us not forget
that dairying is not only a major
source of income to farmers but to
the thousands of workers who haul
the milk from the farms to cream-
eries, and process it in milk plants
and factories, and transport it and
sell it at homes, stores and other
public places. Milk is a well-
rounded food wrapped up in a sin-
gle package. This nutritional
package sells for half of what the
nutrients would cost in common
foods. June is Dairy Month!
Summer temporary pasture^ are
valuable for several reasons. Prob-
ably the most important is they
offer one of the most dependable
sources of summer grazing, and
with proper management will pro-
vide a large volume of grazing per-
mitting permanent pastures to be
rested.
Son Littlefield has raised the

pleted his first demonstration
work, and we will take a look at
it this evening. He is spraying the
crop with naptha. The wind has
been rather high, and George stop-
ped after a small demonstration
area was treated. If the check
shows little or no damage to cot-
ton with a good kill on the grass
and weeds he will be back in the
tractor seat this afternoon (Tues-
day).

It’a your choice theae days, but here’s a tip:
More and more homeowners, in a swing to self expression, are
deperting from traditional white and the somber hues. The new
trend, traced from selections among the 92 colors featured in the
more widely used long and low shapes at Aabastos-Cement Siding,
to to pastels.
Many owners, particularly at medium and higher priced homee,
choose new, narrow Asbestos-Cement Siding whose deep shadow
lines play and change with the sun, dramatizing their colon.
Green and pale gray are most popular, according to the
Asbestos-Cement Products Association. Other favorite* are tur-
quoise, soft tints of yellow, blue and beige.
White, the Association reports, has declined in the last decade
from 80 per cent of the
Asbestos-Cement market
to about 50 per cent.
It is in the same recent
period that plastic-proc-
essed Asbestos-Cement
Siding with never fading
colors have been devel-
oped, and new textures
and shapes produced to

tion you have today.
