union declared. “Instead -of providing for the return of some of the 40,566 GE| production workers laid off in the past three years, the GE proposals aim at giving the company a virtually free hand for carrying out further layoffs and would seriously undermine present contract seniority provisions governing reduction of forces and rehiring,” the UE charges. The union termed the proposed wage increase, which, it estimated.

would average about 17 cents over a three year period, inadequate to the needs of the workers. The proposed raise, the union said, would amount to about half as much for the next three years as GE employes have received in the past three years The UE cited a figure of $4,51*8; as the annual GE profit per production worker and claimed that during the past three years, productivity in GE has increased by 8 per cent a year, while the pre-

sent wage proposal amounts to' only about 2 per cent if applied’ on an annual basis. The union was particularly criti-j cal of the company’s “Job opportunity and income extension plan.” | UE noted that GE proposes to place this plan in the pension and 11 insurance agreement, instead of the union contract, which would; ; t remove it from the union griev-j • | ance procedure, from arbitration ’ provisions and from the right to; • I strike.

I 4 “This is in fact a layoff plan that would give the company virt- ! ually full control over future layi offs, plus a severance pay program with a number of options, | also closely controlled by the company.” UE termed the attempt to place I such questions in the pension and i insurance agreement, instead of | under the provisions of the union I contract, “prima facie evidence of I bad faith.” “The so-called ‘lncome exten-

sion plan’ does not contemplate the employment of people, but the layoff of people,” UE pointed out .. .“It cannot be confused with a program to keep people at work. It is away of getting rid of them.” Henry Braun Joins G.E. Pension Plan Henry B. Braun has joined the pension ranks of the General Electric under the disability option oi the pension plan as of July 1.

I Braun joined the Decatur plant in December of 1942 and worked several years as a lathe and screw Machine operator. In 1954 he was transferred to the miscellaneous assembly area where he worked until his recent illness. During a recent visit to the Decatur plant, he was presented with a portable TV, a gift from his friends and employes.

Friday Is Deadline For ASC Balloting Eligible farmers are reminded that ballots for the election of ASC community committeemen must be mailed or postmarked not later than September 9 to be counted, stated James Garboden, chairman of the Adams county agricultural conservation and stabilization committee. Garboden also reminded farmers that the ballots cannot be counted unless the outer envelope is identified by their name and address (gummed labels are prohibited). This identification i s used to determine their eligibility to vote. After eligibility is established, the small inner envelope is removed and placed in a ballot box where it cannot be identified. Ballots will be counted September 12 by a tabulation board, appointed by the county election board, consisting of Henry Heimann, Herman Bulmahn and Walter Nuerge. Anyone who did not receive a ballot, or received a ballot from the incorrect township, may request a ballot from the county ASC office. Garboden urges every eligible farmer to vote for the persons of his choice in this election.
