DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Aulo Workers Ask Monthly Pensions Pensions Os SIOO Per Month Sought Milwaukee, Jan. — — (UP) — President Walter P. Reuther committed his CIO United Auto Workers today to a campaign for SIOO---month pensions in the automo bile industry. Reuther told 2,500 delegates Jo the UAW education conference last night that the union’s demands for 1949 contracts will emphasize tjie so-called “fringe benefits” of increased social security and medical and health programs. “We will fight with all the weapons of labor, to enforce our demands," he said. In a statement that might keynote all of labor’s demands from management this year. Reuther said: “With some leveling off of the price indexes we feel it is opportune to direct our attention to social security.” For the past three or four years, he said, the union has fought for higher wages "to keep our heads above water.” With prices lowering somewhat, the UAW can now emphasize the security program. Although he placed wages secondary among 1949 contract objectives, Reuther instructed union negotiators to try to adjust pay levels upward to the equivalent of those prevailing in June, 1946, when OPA controls were lifted. And he warned that if management turned down the union’s demands on social security and medical benefits “we will demand wage increases equivalent to the pension and social security plan plus the wage adjustments.” NOTICE OF SALE OF DU ELLING The Board 6t Commissioners of Adams County hereby sive notice that they will sell-at Public Auction, to the highest bidder, January 31, 1»49, at the hour of 2:00 P.
