Man Raises His Arms Above His Head For First Time In Years A few days ago a man said the rheumatic pains in his arms and shoulders disappeared and now he can raise his arms above his head for the flrst time In years. He said the pains he used to have from this rheumatism were simply aw-i ful. Sometimes hie knees and hips were stiff anl sore but the I pains were mostly in the back ofj ■:ls neck and across his shoulders. Now, however, his suffering is entirely gone and he says the change Is due to taking TRU-AID "Oh! What Relief, statea this man. "Why don’t other rheumatic sufferers get TRU-AID.” TRU-AID is a new formula. It contains Three- Great Ingredients, so It is almost like taking three medicines In one It goes right to the source of rheumatic aches and pains. Miserable people soon fee! different all over So don't go on ,suffering! Get TRU-AID Sold by All Drug Stores here is Decatur.

Here’s How We Feel About It General Electric accepts the idea ot free labor unions as thoroughly in keeping with the basic freedoms guaranteed (o all individuals and institutions by our Constitution and our way of life. We believe that these basic freedoms—possessed by us all here -offer a special opportunity for business and labor organizations to work together for the good of customers, employees, stockholders, and the public in away that will benefit each without penalizing any. We believe firmly and sincerely in the right of our employees to join a union, if they want to, and to join the union of their choice. Likewise, we believe equally in the right of our employees not to join a union, if they do not want to, and not to remain union members if they don’t want to. We believe that the presence or absence of unions at General Electric should depend solely on the wishes us our employees. We believe joining or not joining a union should be the choice solely of the individual employee. We believe that neither the Company nor labor organizations should attempt through any coercion to influence the decision by our employees on the question of whether or not there should be a union or the question gs whether or not the individual employee should join. What About Union Leadership? General Electric recognizes the complete right of union members to exercise their own free choice in the election of officers. We believe the 'members in free elections will select those. officers they believe will represent the best interests of the membership in both short-term and long-range problems. This does not mean that we claim all union officers so elected will be good, any more than we would claim all business men are good. We would not be believed or respected if we did make any such claim. ‘ But whether we believe these leaders are good or bad, we will go right along dealing in good faith with them as long as they are accredited to us as the regularly elected officers of any union certified by the National Labor Relations Board as a bargaining * agent Whether or not a union leader agrees with us or is easy to deal with doee not make him good or bad in our estimation. The good union leader-for what our impression may be worth-is the one who acts as the servant of the members and who wisely and sincerely represents the short-term and long-range best interests of the people he h supposed to represent Incidentally, we think «hat wh*t is best for both the shortterm and long-range interests of employees will be almost exactly what is also beet for the short-term And long-range interests of customers, stockholders, management and general public-

How, Does General Electric Feel About Unions? e • This is the time of the year when our relations with unions representing our employees come in for the greatest general gttention and scrutiny. We are having annual meetings with one after another of the twenty unions that now represent various groups of our employees. Negotiations have already been in progress some time with a few of these, including the union that represents the largest number of bargaining unit*. That is why we feel that right now our employees and their neighbors may have more than usual con* cero about the attitude of the Company towards unions, the leadership of them, and membership in them.

K>ut It

We will continue to try to cooperate in ever) proper way with our employee directly or with unions that are certified u the representetives of their choice. GENERAL @ ELECTRIC

In the matter of going along with union leaders’ aims and claims, we believe the policy of our employees and the policy of our Company should be one and the same in principle. We believe both employees and management should support and cooperate with union officers in any proposal that is sound. We believe both employees and management should feel equally free to withhold support and cooperation where any particular proposal of union representatives is honestly believed to be unsound. What Does The Record Show? General Electric was a good place to work before there were unions of any consequence. General Electric has continued over the years to become steadily a better and better place to workand, in most places where there have been unions, they undoubtedly have been responsible for some aid to management s accomplishments along this line. Over the years General Electric has made continuous effort to iron out the differences of opinion or interest between employees and the Company, and many of the issues have been settled or reduced substantially. As a result, the areas of constructive agreement are tremendous, although the headlines would sometimes lead people to believe otherwise. But we believe some disagreement is healthy and productive, as it stimulates further accomplishment and further knowledge of the opportunities and limitations that surround our joint activities. How Do Matter* Stand Now? A major difference of opinion at the moment between the Company and several of the unions concerns a third round of flat increases. There is also some variation in the thinking, across the country on this, although a growing public majority takes the same position as that taken by General Electric We want to avoid the disastrous further inflation a third round would bring. We want to help get going on a common-sense solution to the inflation the country already has as a result of unsound acts thus far. We are continuing thoughtfully to discuss and earnestly to consider the union position in this matter. However, if we continue to disagree on this particular question, it is by no means an indication that General Electric is against unions*, likewise, we hope, it is no indication that unions are against General Electric. If General Electric were hostile towards unions certified to it as bargaining agents by the National Labor Relations Board, the Company could have recently cancelled certain contracts and thus forced several unions into embarrassing difficulties and considerable expense. This the Company chose not to do, and in these several cases is going along with the existing contracts as previously negotiated eacept for such changes as may have n made necessary by law or as may be found mutually agreeable.
