YOl CAN T FOOL THE OLD HOUSE TRADER!

WE KNOW an old-time horse trader out West who likes to read all the advertisements of the big corporations. “Humph!" he’ll grunt, “got to see what they’re saying so they won’t put anything over on me." ♦ » ♦ THE LAST time we visited him, he could hardly- wait to get the conversation going. “Take this ad," he said critically: "More Production Is What We Need To Get Lower Prices And More Jobs.’ “Sounds easy enough to believe—if you don’t really know what’s happening. “But just reading the palters will tell you that a lot of people are being laid off—and the corporations are blaming it on too much production!

Miss Model, by coincidence, was the dormitory roommate of Knight s stepdaughter Maria Brett, at Nor: Il i Central college in the town But she said «he had not met Knight nor had ever been in hi* |is,ooo home in the suburb. Masked, carrying a four-foot length of rope, and armed with a revolver, Knight yanked open the door of Freshiey’* car and told tac j young couple, "this la a stickup.” But the 24-year-old speech student at the college grabbed for Knight’s revolver, knocking tli-e cylinder out of it. Then he began to beat Knight. Hall said.

"SEEMS TO ME that the big corporations who ask for ‘more production’ don’t live up to their share of the bargain when they get more production. "Take prices—they’re only a little bit lower. The trouble is, the big corporations control so much of the market that they can keep prices high even though production has increased. * * • "WHAT HAPPENS is that the big corporations like General Electric and Westinghouse keep prices up so that they can salt away more profits on each item they make. “They would rather keep prices high, and lay off some of their workers liecause of ‘over-production,’ than they would cut prices and be satisfied with slightly lower profits." public service by Local 924.
