The board voted Tuesday night to permit steelworker Peter ManI dich a place on the ballot along with Gary Mayor Peter Mandich, who had charged the other Mandich filed in a conspiracy to confuse voters and defeat the mayor. But at 2:30 a. m. Walter Zur- : briggen, chairman of the board, 1 changed his -mind and said he ! would vote to bar the steelworker ; from the May 6 Democratic pri- > mary ballot. j Zurbriggen had voted with the majority in a 2-1 decision to let both Mandichs run and put the mayor's name first on the ballot because he was the first to Tile. Zurbriggen’s change of attitude made another meeting necessary, apparently to formalize the new lineup of 2-1 against the steelworker. The meeting was called for tonight. Zurbriggen's reversal was re--1 vealed in a middle-of-the-night phone call to David Stanton, ' steelworker Mandich’s attorney. I

Union Gives Statement On Rate Negotiations

The local General Electric compwiy is now in the process of changing the stacking and die casting departments to conform with a new time-motion study made by a disinterested party, Vernon “Sjjec” Hebble, president, and other union officials, said toi day. The union and the people of Decatur were impressed by the company's statement a week ago 'that they are ready to settle this question of rate, Hebble said. A time-motion expert from Fort Wayne, a disinterested third party, started the time-study. However, he found so many faults With how the department was set up that he could not complete the study, _®E officials said. The lay-out of the stacking op-1 eration is now being changed to; conform with good stacking and die casting operations, Hebble explained. This has now been approved by the lo<»l General Elec-' trie officials. The original motion-time study [ was based on an ideal setup, rather than the present situation at the local plant, the union explained. This would have meant that the workers’ salaries would actually be lowered by going on piecerate work, rather than increasing wages by increasing production. The argument over wages, Hebble explained, does not affect the usual job-rate, which is $2.05 an hour for stacking iron used to make rotor cores, and $2.11 an ; hijur for casting the metal in , aluminum portable molds. But when the company wants to in- — |

crease production, they go from a job rate, or hourly wage, to a piece rate. The company, Hebble explained, has offered the workers 39.5 cents per hundred for stackers, and 82 cents per hundred for die casters. The workers wrote a letter to the company asking for considerably more than this. The union then asked for the new motion-time study, to figure out just how many could be stacked, or cast, in a given time. The difference lies, Hebble stated, in the two motion-time studies. The company’s study, the union charged, was based upon maximum figures of machine potential, impossible to reach in actual prac- • tice here. The workers based their requests on what they thought they should receive. "The new motion-time study reached a happy medium between ; the company’s rate and the worker’s rate, one which is fair to both sides,” Hebble stated. The union is asking 66 cents per hundred for the stackers and 74 cents per hundred for the die casters, he stated. The union meets with the company every Thursday in negotiation of the disputed piece-rate. “The union sincerely hopes this matter can be settled within the next week,” Hebble continued. "With the purchasing power of the workers cut as much as 25 cents per hour during the negotiation, the economy of the entire area is being affected.” he concluded. Probers Finish I Perfect Circle Strike Hearing Two-Day Probe Into Strikes At Indiana Plants Is Finished ! WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senj ate Rackets Committee late Tues 3 I day ended a two-day probe into • the 1955 strike at Indiana plants of the Perfect' Circle Corp. The hearing ,jround up on a note j iof harmony which contrasted to | ' the bickering and feuding among; ! Republican and Democratic members of the committee during the . Perfect Circle probe and one in- ‘ volving the Kohler Co. of Sheboyjgan, Wis. There was an outside chance i another witness would be queS l tioned later in the week, but the committee was expected to recess until April 14 when an entirely new investigation will begin. As the hearing closed, Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) extended the olive branch to chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) and praised his "fairness and impartiality.” McClellan also entered the spirit of conciliation by apologizing to a witness he had called a liar. When the witness, Paul Carper of Anderson, Ind., returned to the witness chair briefly, McClellan told him he had not meant to cast doubt on .his entire story. "I could be wrong.” McClellan said, “but part of it (Carper’s testimony) didn’t make sense.” Carper and Kenneth Griffin, a supervisor at the Perfect Circle foundry at New Castle. Ind., were the principal witnesses as the hearing concluded. Carper told the committee he was innocently singing such union songs as “Solidarity Forever” and “Old Scabs Never Die” when he was shot during a 1955 disturbance at the New Castle 'plant. Company witnesses contended Carper was part of a “mob” approaching the plant to wreck it. Griffin told the committee “we might not be here to tell it. if company personnel inside the plant had not frightened off the mob marching through the gates to the plant, — —- Goldwater conceded the hearings had been tiresome But he disputed charges that they were a waste of time. Sen. Pat McNamara (D-Mich.) made such a charge when he resigned from the committee Monday. Goldwater said the inquiry showed a “developing pattern of violence” on the part of the United Auto Workers, the union involved in both strikes. He said he was convinced there was a definite need for legislation to make unions responsible for acts of violence by their members. He said the “outstanding disclosur” could be summed up by the word “power.’’ Unless curbed, he said, labor leaders will develop their power to a point that will threaten the nation. Sen. John F. Kennedy <DMass.h head of a Senate Labor Subcommittee now considering new labor legislation, commented that he believed much of the difficulty could be eliminated without congressional action. He suggested that employers show more willingness to bargain with unions and that eases before theH® tiona ' Labor Relations Board be speeded upIf you have something to sell or rooms torrent, fry a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.

They visited I the newsroom, watched the writing ■ of news stories, preparation of ads, the teleype machine and the teletypesetter, which set the type from tape. They then observed the locking of the frame of type into the press, and the first run of the press. The boys saw the making of cuts, from the process of taking a picture to converting the picture into a metal cut to reproduce in the newspaper. Both groups saw the casting room, where advertising and news mats are cast into lead slugs’ which reproduce in the newspaper.

The Story of Sood Triday Don’t stop reading this article before you have read the next five paragraphs. At that point we want to ask you a question. But first a quotation from the -' ■ ’'He is despised and rejected of men, , * Han of sorrows and acquainted with ind we hid ’ ’* k WCTe ’ ° Uf ilCe * from Him. He was despised and we e»X ■ teemed Him not. Vr "Surely, He hath borne our griefs and vwl carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and “Hlicted. 1 "But He was wounded for our transgresjions; He WM bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed. ‘ "AH we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” i So far the quotation. question: Who wrote these words and when wert they written? .Surely, they sound as though they were written by a man who had stood at the cross of Christ. Yet the fact is that they were written by the Prophet Isaiah some 7JO years before Christ was born!
