A Statement To Our Customers About Resale PRICES of PRODUCTS Built by International Harvester Company

• Here at Harvester we are cone cerned over the fact that a ■> growing number of our prod--0 ucta are appearing on the re- • sale market at greatly inflated • prices. As manufacturers, we try to T produce at the lowest possible • cost. We cannot set the prices r at which our products—trac- ? tore, motor trucks, farm im- • plements, refrigeration, and in- „ dustrial power equipment—are , sold. We can and do suggest • list prices which the great majority of our dealers adopt as X their retail prices. ’ $20,000,000 Price Reduction 2 Our basic price policy wa« • publicly stated in March, 1947, when we announced price re- • ductions at the rate of approxiZ mutely $20,000,000 per year • on our products. At that time, • Fowler McCormick, Chairman • of the Board, said: "any prick Z m too high ir rr can be re- » DUCED.’’ I‘ractically all of Oil dealers • cooperated .vith this policy and passed on the savings to their » customers. The objective of the price • reduct ions was to make it pos- • Bible foe customers to buy our Z prrxiucta, which they need bo Z badly, it lower prices. Nstu--2 rally, this purpose is defeated when our products are sold by • anybody at inflated prices. JH Production at Alt-Time Peak «B Z IMatsd prices are cancod by

the difference between supply and demand. To increase supply, we now have the greatest number of employes In history on our payrolls—almost 90.M0 in the United States, as against about 60,0 M prewar. Large new plantsare getting Intoproductlon in Louisville, Evansville, and Melrose Park. A fourth will Boon be in operation In Memphis. The men and women now employed are turningout the greatest quantities of 11! products of alt kinds that we have ever made. These are also the finest products we have ever made, and recognition of that fact is an important contributing factor to the demand for them. Distribution to Dealers But even record-breaking production is not sufficient to give your dealer—and other IH dealers—enough products to meet today's demand. We have tried to make the fairest possible geographical allocation of our producta ao that every dealer would get a fair share, and we know that dealers, in most cases, have tried earnestly to make the fairest possible distribution to their cuatomere. But we alao know that many of our products—far too many —are being resold at inflated prices. The public criticism and resentm: nt of there resales are of real concern to us, as we know they must be to our design, because such reactions en-

Mme Foremen Union Dissolved By Lewis Seen Major Victory For Coal Operators Washington, July 30 —(UP) — Coal industry sources believed today that John L. Lewis was capitalising on the Taft-Hartley law (which he wants repealed) to •dump" his foremen's union and cover one of his major setbacks by the industry. The United Clerical, Technical and Supervisory employes, affiliated with district 60 of Lewla' United Mine Workers (AFL), will dissolve in Pittsburgh tomorrow, it is to be replaced by the Clerical, Technical and Supervisory association of America, a wholly independent new union with headquarters at Morganstown, W. Va. Lewis used all his bargaining power, including a 24-day strike late in 1945 and government seizure of the mines last year, to pump new life into the foremen's organization. He backed its legal fight before the national labor relations board. He forced Jones and Laughlin Steel Co. to the supreme court in the battle for recognition for the mine foremen's union. The Taft-Hartley law wiped out this phase by withdrawing protection of the labor act from foremen's unions. Lewis then wrote the death warrant in the soft coal contract he signed last July 8. He agreed that he would not "seek to organize or ask recognition for supervisory employes exempted by the contract. Irving 8. Olds, chairman of the lioard of U. 8. Steel Corp., said in a statement that this wae a major victory tor the coal operators. He said the clause is so broad that it may well become a model for all American industry in the light of Taft-Hartley act provisions.

danger the good will of both the dealer and the Company in any community. Distribution to Customers Experience shows that many IH new producta are being resold by users who decide they can continue to make out with their old equipment after they have had an inflated offer for their new equipment. To eliminate this, marty dealers are taking measures to be sure that equipment purchased is for their customers’ own use and is not to be resold. Nearly all IH dealers, we believe, are now using the basis of present NERD as their primary guide for the sale of scarce producta. The customer whore need is real and urgent is not likely to resell. What Price Should You Pay? While It may take a little more time to get delivery, we urge our customers to consider all of the factors mentioned here, before paying more than the list price for any IH product. Any IH dealer or branch can furnish the suggested list price for any IH product. We know that the overwhelming majority of 111 dealers are as much opposed to inflated prices re we are. In the public Interest, we have already asked their cooperation —and are now asking the co- ; operation of customers—in cocrecting this situation.

Lincoln's Support Os Churches Shown j State Interference In Religion Fought Washington, July 30.—(UP)— Abraham Lincoln’s unyielding opposition to government interference with church and religion was underscored today by documents in his newly-opened secret papers. Many communications to and from religious groups were among the 18.351 V Lincoln papers which! were opened to the public for the first time last Saturday in the library of congress. One of them dealt with the arrest of the Rev. Dr. Samuel B. McPheetus of the Vine Street ■ Church In St. Louis. Mo., after he had refused to declare himself' for the Union. He had alao bap-, tized a child named in honor of a Confederate general. Lincoln Interviewed Rev. McPheetus after Gen. Samuel R. : Curtis ordered him arrested and' his church seized. The Interview Lincoln that the clergyVaf bMmi "rebel'’ wife and that he himself had "rebel sympathies." "But." Lincoln Instructed the general. "I must add that the U. S. government must not, as hy this order, undertake to run the churches when an individual. In a church or out of it. becomes dangerous to the public interest, he must he • he. ked. but let the churches as such take care of themselves. "It will not do for the U. 8. to support to appoint trustees, supervisors or other agents of the churches." Lincoln took an equally firm stand in dealing with a faction of the church, represented by O. D. Filley of St. Louis, who subsequently sought the reinstatement of Rev. McPheetus. "H after all. what is now sought is to have me put Dr. McPheetus back over the heads of the majority of his own congregation, that, too. will be declined," Lincoln wrote Filley. "I will not have control of any church on any side." Also included in the Lincoln collection were more than 100 petitions and resolutions from religious organizations dealing with the abolition of slavery. —i 0 « Wine O.K.
